20 Dumbest Celebrity Tweets of 2012
Most celebrities aren’t famous because they’re the smartest. They just happen to be good at something. Or they’re attention whores. When they get on Twitter, they show all their basicness and I’m sure their publicists are somewhere weeping in the name of fail. This is why this list is necessary, separate from the main list. [...]
Stevie Wonder Would Play At Harpo’s Juke Joint and I’ont Like It
I’ve always been a Stevie Wonder fan. I know all his songs and I love him. He is a genius. But his PR team is not. A couple of years ago, I wrote a sternly-worded letter to Stevie Wonder telling him to fire his team because they don’t want the best for him. Judging by [...]
Lenny Kravitz and His Ginormous Scarf
Lenny Kravitz has always marched to the beat of his own drum and I ain’t mad at him for it. But sometimes, I do wonder what goes through his head when he puts on certain things. Like: Lenny Kravitz is rocking a damb duvet around his neck like it makes sense. It don’t. Where is [...]
Oprah Isn’t the Richest Black Woman Anymore. My Fellow Nigerian Folorunsho Alakija Is
I’d like to start this off by saying UP NAIJA!!! Ok now that I got that out of the way… It was recently announced that Mother Oprah Winfrey, Queen of Epic Media Empires and Everything is no longer the richest Black woman in the world. Who overtook her for the title? Folorunsho Alakija, a Nigerian [...]
DMX’s Rudolph Rap Has Brought Me Christmas Cheer
I haven’t been in the holiday spirit but I think that changed tonight. When someone sent me a link saying it was DMX singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, I asked them to take it back. I thought it’d be terrible and I wanted no parts of it. And then I decided to give peace a [...]

While browsing the Tumblrs, I came across the pic below and squealed in delight. What we have here is Jesse Jackson playing basketball with the late great Marvin Gaye. And I’m living!!!

Cee-Lo Green is a Walking Christmas Ornament and I Kinda Love It
I enjoy Cee-Lo Green as much as the next person. The dude is entertaining as hell and his music is like in the clouds. He’s clearly a genius and like most geniuses, he also seems to be missing a couple of screws. Which feeds his art, but it also keeps me amused. Cee-Lo is weird [...]
I Got 20 Questions About the 2012 Soul Train Awards
The Soul Train Music Awards came on and I had no plans on watching it. But my Twitter fam was and I’m impressionable so I watched it. Was it good? It wasn’t bad. But like always, the tweets about the show made it worth watching. It was entertaining, though. I’ll give them that. Anyways, I [...]
Free Isn’t Enough: In Defense of the Rihanna Plane Journalists
I’m really surprised at the reaction folks are having over this whole Rihanna #777Tour plane debacle. The plane, carrying 150 people (mostly journalists and some fans) descended to madness in the last couple of days of the tour. The people on it were really disappointed with how the trip went. Plus, they barely got a [...]
Rihanna’s #777Tour Plane is About to Turn Into Lord of the Flies
Unless you’ve been under a rock, or staying off Twitter, or somewhere minding your business and living a good life of minimal ratchetness, you’ve heard about Rihanna’s #777 tour by now. If not the tour, then at least the plane that’s on the tour with her. The 777 tour is a 7-day, 7-city, 7 concert [...]
No Country for Jermaine Jackson’s Name Change
The Jackson family haven’t been in the headlines too much lately. Not like their usual anyway. But every time I say that, I speak too soon. According to TMZ, Jermaine Jackson has decided that he wants to change his last name to “Jacksun.” If the Chocolate TinMan don’t ease his raggelly ass down the yellow [...]
No Country for Hollywood’s Bad Biopic Casting Choices
Three days later and I’m STILL mad! It’s because a new picture of Zoe Saldana as Nina Simone has surfaced and it looks even worse than the one I included in my last post. Zoe’s looking all dead in the eyes, looking like her face is dirty. She looks nothing like who she’s supposed to [...]
