The past week has truly been EPIC in every way for Afrobella and I. Our trip to LA for the Academy Awards went beyond the show itself. We got the chance to go to several events with Stephanie Frederic of FGW Productions in the days leading up to the Oscars and met so many celebs that [...]
It’s finally! Today’s the 84th Academy Awards (aka the Oscars) and we’re in LA covering the show. Afrobella and I will be on the red carpet pre-show and backstage in the press room as the show goes on. Throughout the day, we’d like to bring you with us on our journey, so we’ll be tweeting [...]
I’m interrupting my LA trip to bring you this roast of Jaheim. Many of you just said “Who?” And my reply is “Exactly.” But to his mama and his record executive, he is an R&B singer whose last hit happened sometime when I was in college. Anyway, a pic came out of him standing outside of [...]
My peoples! I’ve been MIA on my eCrib all week because I’ve been prepping for my trip to LA for the Academy Awards. I’m there right now for a trip of a lifetime, and it’s a dream come true. Actually, it’s a dream I didn’t even have because I didn’t expect something like this to [...]
Well I shall tell ya. This week, I wrote 3 pieces for Ebony Magazine. My 10 Thoughts on the Grammy Awards and my recaps of the Real Housewives of Atlanta and TI & Tiny Show, Family Hustle. Getchu a piece of those. Then, today, I’m at Clutch Magazine talmbout “We Could Have Had It All: [...]
I’ve never been a Nicki Minaj fan. Ever since her rise to popularity, I’ve found her annoying at best and downright aggravating most of the time. I think she does the absolute most constantly with the least, and I do my best to stay clear of her music. I can proudly say that only line [...]
I ran across this picture of Uncle Charlie Wilson at last night’s Grammy Awards and I just *facepalmed* *blinks slowly* Sooo… wut? O________O I have so many questions. * What is Uncle Charlie Wilson rocking on top of his head? * Did he shave a chia pet and gently place the growth on his dome? [...]
Last night, the Grammy Awards basically dedicated the show to Whitney Houston by making sure her name was never far from the mouths of presenters. Beginning with an opening prayer from host, LL Cool J, and with random mentions throughout the night. I loved the thoughtfulness they showed, especially with so little time. And the [...]
I don’t understand at all and it’s not registering in my head fully that you’re really gone, Whitney. I screamed when I found out. I literally screamed as I saw on TMZ.com “Whitney Houston Dies at 48.” I refreshed the page because surely, they’ll take it back. They didn’t. How are you gone? HOW? I [...]
There was a video going around of this little adorable 2-year old Khaliyl Iloyi rapping some time back in his onesie. And I found a new (I think) video of him and his dad rapping again. My ovaries did the wop, the running man and the cabbage patch. I LOVE THIS LITTLE BOY!!! YESSS!!! I’m [...]
I’ve never really been a huge fan of Jessica White, because she usually has this “what stinks?” expression on her face for no reason. Maybe she’s mad that no one told her colored contacts went out with towel jackets. But whatevs. Anywho, I saw this pic of her on a red carpet and gave the [...]
My peoples! Do you know about my nonprofit organization The Red Pump Project? Yup. Well, a couple of weeks ago, we launched our fourth annual Rock the Red Pump™ bloggers campaign, in recognition of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD), which is March 10th annually. The campaign’s goal is to generate conversation in blogosphere about the [...]
Yesterday, I was alerted to the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard since… well the day before. Let me give you the cliffnotes on what happened. This past Sunday, some Jewish Rabbi (or so he says) named Ralph Messer went to New Birth Missionary Baptist Church to crown Bishop Eddie Long as “King.” He used some [...]
