DIDDY'S MAKING THE BAND 4 HAS BEEN MADE

Before you all continuing reading this post, let me first say that I did not appreciate the fact that those dudes messed up and effed up New Edition's If Isn't Love. Now, maybe it's because I've been a truly, devoted, dedicated and hard loving fan of N.E. for over 20 years. To this day, anytime I see them perform, I find myself turning into a 13 year old, giddy-ass, screaming ass little girl. Yes, my love runs that deep for those guys. I could go on and on all night, but I won't. LOL!

Oh and another thing I wanted to mentioned: I have a strange feeling that those dudes sold their souls to the devil. Diddy is the devil in expensive clothing. With that said, I hope those boys aren't thinking that they're going to be in this business a year from now. Yeah, I'm calling it. I'm even more convinced because of Diddy's track record for fucking people over. I could name names, but you all know who I'm talking about: any and everybody who has ever signed with Bad Boy records. Yeah, I said it! And as I watched the finale last night, I could've swore that the members of Danity Kane didn't want to be anywhere near Diddy. I don't blame 'em. But I'm just saying.
Okay, I've said my piece.LOL!

PROMO PICS FROM ALICIA KEYS 'AS I AM' UPCOMING ALBUM

Here are a couple of promotional pics for Alicia Key's upcoming album. Physically, she has come a long way...and I don't mean that in a bad way. Remember how hard-looking she was when she first hit the scene? Much like Aaliyah was before releasing her last album. Now, today, look at Alicia. She has a much softer look...and she comes across as much more more approachable. That's a good look. Anyway, take a peek at the pics. I think they're absolutely beautiful.

EVE & SERENA: 2 CELEBS OF UTTER MADNESS

Eve (donning her alcohol monitoring anklet like it ain't nothing) and tennis celeb, Serena Williams were spotted at the 2007 US Open Official Player party. Now, I don't know what's worse: Eve showcasing that damn gadget around her ankle, or Serena opting to walk out of her house, first without changing that hideous black fingernail polish, and second, for not wearing a better deodorant/anti-perspirant. That is not a good look. She could have at least sprinkle some talcum powder under her arms or something. I mean, really. I once read somewhere that a there are celebs who will go and get some type of expensive botox-type injection under their arms to keep from perspiring on the red carpet. Ain't nothing worse than being on the red carpet with big-ass sweat stains marring your ensemble. Ask Serena. And we all know she can afford it. Hell, I use Secret's Clinical Strength deodorant/anti-perspirant, and it works so well, I may just have to go write them a letter or something. Shoot, even film a commerical. I ain't lying.

Ooooh, and look! She even sported the anklet while performing at the Boost Mobile Hot Import Concert on Saturday night. (8.25.2007)

HEY EVERYBODY! I GOTTA COUPLE OF THINGS TO SAY.

First I want to apologize for the lack of updates. I've been stressed out these last couple of days while trying to get this blog to look the way I want it to look. As you all can see, I made some small changes. Nothing big. However, I'm still working...working....and working even more harder than before to get this all done in a timely matter. But when you aren't as computer savvy as myself, things tend to take a whole lot longer than you anticipated. So hopefully, after I get a few hours of sleep--because I've been up and working on this blog since 8 pm Friday night--with absolutely no sleep whatsoever--things will be up and running and I'll be more up to date on what's going on in the celebrity news world. I'm gunning to have some new material by early (or late) this evening.

I want to thank you all for supporting me and my site. I've gotten nearly 9,500 hits in a little over a week, so that must mean that yall like me just a little bit! LOL! Thanks for the visits, guys. Yall know I appreciate it. Oh, and don't hesitate to leave a few comments on the stories that interest you the most. If I didn't have that blog hit counter, I'd think that no one was visiting my blog! Yall can say a little something, geesh! LOL! Let a sista gurl know how you feeling.

I'mma tell yall again like I did in my very first blog entry: Now keep in mind, I'm a blogger; and I'm serious about my shit.

Naw, but seriously-seriously, I appreciate you all like you would not believe. Thanks for believing in me enough to keep coming back. Much love to all of you for that. Much, much love. That's real talk right there.Um, I think that's about it for now. But I can't leave without thanking Vin at betabloggersfordummies (and yes, I am one blogging ass dummy right about now) for being so helpful, kind and patient...especially patient, with me. Thanks a million, Vin. You're the best! :)

Okay, peeps, it's almost 6 am. I'mma try to hit the sack for a couple of hours before waking-up fresh and all that other kinda stuff and commence to get this blog cracka-lackin!

I'll HOlla!

SCANS: DIDDY W/SON CHRISTIAN, IN 'SEAN JOHN BOY'S PRINT ADS

I know that a lot of you were wondering why you often only see Diddy's oldest son, Justin featured in Diddy's Sean John print ads with (and without) his father. Well, I can't answer that question because I don't know! LOL! But what I do know is that a couple of new Sean John Boys print ads featuring Diddy with his baby boy/mini-me, Christian, were recently published in a few urban magazines...and you can peep those pics below. The resemblance between father and son is skrong, ain't it?! If Diddy ain't that boy's daddy then I don't know who is!

DIRECTOR JOHN SINGLETON HITS & KILLS WOMAN IN LOS ANGELES.

Not again...looks like another one of our famed celebs has become involved in another fatal accident resulting in the death of a civilian. I can just imagine the madness that will escalate once this story hits all the other media outlets. Expect to hear much, much more in the coming days.

John Singleton, acclaimed director of Boyz in the Hood, was involved in a fatal accident Thursday night in Los Angeles. LAPD officers tell TMZ Singleton was driving his 2001 Lexus SUV around 8:00 p.m. on a Los Angeles street when a female pedestrian, not in a crosswalk, suddenly stepped out in front of Singleton's car. Police say Singleton immediately stopped and waited for police and ambulances to arrive. The 57-year-old woman, identified as Constance Russell of Los Angeles, was taken to a nearby hospital where she unfortunately died Friday morning. Police tell TMZ Singleton was not speeding at the time and was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Cops say their investigation has concluded and they've determined that this is a "very, very unfortunate accident." Singleton will not be cited for any violation.

A call placed to Singleton's agent was not immediately returned.

VIVICA'S B-DAY PARTY IN NYC; REMY MA CRASHES PARTY, GETS TOSSED OUT.

According to the New York Daily News, Vivica A. Fox 's glam New York birthday party Tuesday night turned into a thorny mess of allegations yesterday, with her own stylist claiming she was drinking alcohol in violation of a court order. Guests including Shaquille O'Neal, Brooke Hogan and Swizz Beatz were enjoying the festivities at Sol nightclub for her belated 43rd. But the first bump in the evening came when a promised Rolls-Royce Phantom failed to appear at Mr. Chow to take Fox to the party. Her dinner companion, Star Jones, dropped her off instead.

Then there was a red carpet kerfuffle when Bronx rapper Remy Ma arrived uninvited. "Remy and her management were asked not to attend by the club in advance, due to her pending court case for attempted murder," says an organizer. But like any good diva, the songbird strutted her curves in a tight dress on the red carpet until "she was turned away at the door by a wall of security."

The next day, a check for Fox's $2,500 appearance fee was rejected by her bank because it was drawn on a closed account. When contacted, celebrity stylist Messiah McNair admitted he bounced the check, and promised to replace the money. But a little later he called back, clearly irked at Fox that the information had got out. "You can say she was drinking," McNair claimed. Earlier this month, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge barred Fox from consuming alcohol, pending her upcoming arraignment on a March DUI. "I poured red wine for her into a can of Red Bull so she could drink," McNair claimed. "She asked me to do that."

Fox was on a plane to Los Angeles late Tuesday and unable to respond before press time. But a pal who was by her side during the party denied she imbibed any alcohol.

KIMORA ON MOTHERHOOD: BEING A STRICT MOTHER, ADOPTION, HAVING MORE KIDS & RUSSELL AS A FATHER.

They may have gone their separate ways after splitting up last year, but Russell and Kimora Lee Simmons remain very good friends. The two made a conscious effort to stay close for the sake of their two daughters, Ming Lee, 7, and Aoki Lee, 5, Kimora tells OK! magazine. In an exclusive interview, the 32-year-old fashion and business mogul opens up about her ex, her kids and if she'd like to have more children.

On remaining friends with Russell: Russell, 49, filed for divorce in March 2006, but Kimora says they're not divorced yet and "who knows" what will happen. "We're great partners, and we have a beautiful family. We've been through so much together. It's almost been 15 years. I can't say it's always been great, but I focus on my kids and my life and my businesses. I'm growing up. I feel like it's time to take control of my life. I have to take the reigns myself and try my best to be happy."

On Russell as a father: "I'm a very hands-on mother. But he's a very nurturing dad. He probably doesn't spend as much time with them as I do because I'm with them day-in and day-out, work or play. [We talk about them] every day. All day. I would call for anything. We're very connected to our children."

On her daughters: Kimora says the girls take after their mom more so than dad. "They're really wild and outgoing. I think they mimic their mother, so that accounts for some of their business sense at such a young age, working very hard and being funny. They help me buckle down and focus. I'm such a kid at heart, so we have fun together. I'm always with them, whether it's work or play. I'm never away from them for more than a few days at a time. They're good kids. "

On how motherhood has changed her: "When you come home after a long day and you have a headache and you want to soak in a bubble bath and drink wine and your kid has a toothache, you forget your bubble bath. Being a mom helps me realize that life is not about you. They've taught me tolerance, patience and understanding."

On her parenting style: "I'm very strict with my kids. I let them be free and happy, but I expect respect, discipline and self-control. I'm always with them or on the phone checking every little thing. Did they flush the toilet? What did they eat? What time did they go to bed? I'm a very hands-on mother. Russell will tell you that."

On her daughters' clothing line: The girls, who model for Baby Phat, have a signature clothing line called Ming and Aoki. "Oh, I am [proud]! Tears came to my eyes. It was a lot of fun for us. The kids are always designing and creating; the clothing line is an extension of that."

On having more kids: "I love children, and I've looked into adopting. I definitely see lots of children in my future."

PICS: FMR. 'F.O.L.' CONTESTANTS: LEILENE, SAAPHYRI & TIFFANY 'NEW YORK' POLLARD

I found very recent pics of 3 former contestants of VH1's famed, far-from-reality show, 'Flavor of Love' floating around the Internet. Looks as if these women are still working hard to stretch their 15 minutes of fame as it will take them. Peep the pics below.

Former stripper-turned-rejected-'Flavor of Love' contestant-turned-runner-up-in-Mo'Nique's-Charm-School, Leilene Ondrade was spotted at Hollywood Summer Nights hosted by Nick Cannon on Wednesay, August 22, 2007.

=============================================

Ain't it good to see MoNique's Charm School winner Saaphyri Windsor replace that tacky-ass, Kool-Aid mix dipped weave with something a little bit more...tame? Now as far as these pics to, yall gon have to come to your own conclusion(s); because I don't know what she's doing, why she's doing it or where she is.

=============================================

Last but not least. Look at this heffa-hussie here. I don't even have to tell yall who she is. But I'll tell yall what she looks like: a cross between a muppet and freaking fraggle. As you can see, Ms. Pollard isn't as camera shy as she needs to be...even when she is wearing her mama hideous wig. VH1 has given her 2 shows ('I Love New York' 2 is filming right about now) and yet she still insist on walking out of her house looking like, as my mama would say, who did it, for what reason and why. Anyhoo, the reality star obviously made sure she was seen at Sujit Kundu's birthday party at the Marquee in NYC on Wednesday night.
