I’ve been freelance writing for other publications for some months but I’ve done a bad job of letting you guys and gals know! So, I’ma start giving y’all a weekly roundup of links from other places I’ve appeared. This week, I kicked off my column on Ebony Magazine online. It’s called “Keeping It Reality” and [...]
So I saw this pic and was like O_O This is why some people can’t have nice things. Unless you consider obesity and the diabeetus nice. One day, you decide that you want to get a permanent mark on your body. You don’t go with the usual cheesy stuff like the name of your mom. [...]
No, this post wasn’t written in 2003. I’m just tardy for the party as always. For a long time, folks have been telling me about the greatness that is The Wire. A slew of my favorite nerdy Black boys have even called it “the greatest TV show ever” unabashedly. Even the President of the United [...]
According to TMZ, Kobe Bryant‘s divorce is finalized and he lost more than one. He lost so hard, Google Maps and the map that guides Dora the Explorer couldn’t help him. Vanessa Bryant is walking away with half of Kobe’s assets, worth $75 million, including their three mansions. Kobe’s bank account got Adebisi’ed with NO [...]
Hey folks! Did you miss me? I bet you did(n’t). My site joined a bunch of others on the web by being blacked out all day on January 18th to petition the SOPA bill that’s being proposed in the House of Representatives, and PIPA, in the Senate. It was AWESOME seeing so many websites and [...]

And yes, I meant “The YouTubes.” I first discovered Patti LaHelle’s videos in September when I saw the “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” video and I was slayed DEADT! Well there’s a new one and it is chock full of gems. *lays out* My favorite lines: Whitney: “Team Jesus. Team Soldiers for Christ. THAT’s the [...]

The Golden Globe Awards was the usual formal 3-hour thing but this year, it didn’t bore me to pieces. Maybe because the liquor was flowing and people were guzzling champagne. It certainly made for a spirited show (well as spirited as you can get on NBC primetime). So I’m here to ask questions about it. [...]
Seriously. Pinterest has been the best time-waster to happen to me since Words with Friends, which I had to quit because I tweeted my screename, got 25 game requests and my app went “NAWL!” Some of you are probably like “What’s Pinterest?” It’s this website where you get to create boards and “pin” things to [...]
I bet y’all thought I was talking about *insert singer’s name here* right? Nope! I wasn’t even being shadeful. I’m talmbout a little girl who tried singing Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” and when she keeps failing, she starts hollering. Literally. Put some headphones on if you’re around people and see this foolery. [...]
I heard that Common and Drake had some rap beef going on, and word on the street is that it’s over Serena Williams. They’ve earned this week’s sternly-worded letter. Dear Common and Drake, Hey Lonnie. Hey Aubrey. I wanted to sit you both down to let you know that don’t nobody give a damb about [...]
I know this is my 2nd post in 2 days about this baby but I have reason and y’all gon have to deal. Don’t worry. This blog won’t turn into Casa Knowles-Carter e’em though the Carters are tryna turn me into a stan, y’all! Anywho, I was on the Twitters when I saw a link [...]
You’ve done all this work. You’ve spent hours trying to make the words perfect and the paragraphs flow. You’ve done research to make sure what you’re saying is accurate. And you create an EPIC post that makes the internet go wild. You do all types of cabbage patches and fist pumps to celebrate. Then someone [...]
I was on Twitter late last night when news broke that Beyonce finally had the Golden Knowles-Carter baby. Celebs and insiders like Dream Hampton, Rihanna and Russell Simmons tweeted about it and Twitter went NUTS. NUTS, I say. But this is to be expected, seeing as how when Bey rubbed her belly to admit she [...]
