This is one of Trina's better pictures. Love the shoes. Could never wear them.

What is it about Flo-Rida that I can't get into? I should like him, but something prevents even the mildest of attraction . Is it his name? Or that he looks like he just woke up and walked outside to kill a chicken for breakfast?

Rick Ross is Lil Wayne times 82, plus a Baby. (I constantly try to ignore that Rick Ross SHRINE around his neck (ugh!) but it just won't go away!) I wonder about the down and dirty rumblings that must go on inside that stomach 24x7...
Why is DJ Khaled on his tippy toes? and scared?

Don't Do it Mike!

According to mediatakeout.com, Used-to-Be-Iron Mike Tyson has "tentatively agreed to fight internet streetfighter Kimbo Slice under ProElite’s live fight division, EliteXC. Mike and Kimbo are set to fight 'late this year or early next.' "

I'm not interested in seeing anything like the last fight Mike had. I need him to exercise and get mad as fk so I can be entertained again. As it is, I have to be subjected to the landing strip of taco drippings down Kimbo's front. Insanely pissed off about that.

Why You Mad, My Nigga (er)?


When I saw Nas and Kelis at the Grammy's wearing Nigga attire, I put my hands over my eyes and ducked. Shame, shame, shame. I remember commenting on one blog: I'll ride with Nas, but this time he's taken it too far with the Nigga clothes. I was just as puzzled as you.

But wait. To be real, most of us say "nigga" everyday, yet we think Nas went too far by naming his CD Nigger...? Have we fooled ourselves into believing that nigga is OK? And, if we have decided to rest and relax in denial, then surely seeing and saying the real word, nigger, should be OK, too. No?

The truth is that no matter how we try to define and redifine nigger/nigga, it's still nigger. At the most basic of levels, it's still a bad word. "Ugly" don't mean "pretty" and "rich" don't mean "poor". Nigga is to nigger as brotha is to brother. We can put salt and pepper on odorless shit, but it's still shit.

Nas has forced us remember and reflect on everything that we've become - and haven't become - from the time we were niggers to niggas. I think we're hating Nas for putting Nigga on front street because we're ashamed to have embraced such a sad and vile word as part of our every day vernacular. If we weren't so ashamed I don't think we'd believe Nas was crazy for naming his CD Nigga.
It's just a word... right?

Kilpatrick and Wife Speak



I'm very confused about the over-sized men's suit she's wearing.

Is he belching...?

I think this whole story is dramatically fascinating, yet completely common. I'm not saying - nor do I believe - that all men cheat, but this happens all the time. Just not in a public forum.

Girlfriends don't leave their cheating men. Wives don't leave their cheating men. Girlfriends marry men who they know will cheat. Wives excuse the cheating. Politicians cheat on the company dime every day. Corporate execs do it, too. If the citizens of your city pay for your affairs and you are caught, you should pay the money back. That's really, the only issue here.

That Kwame and his mistress were immature enough to send THAT many text messages might be another issue. The strong, sensitive woman in me hates Kwame for hurting his wife like that. I hate the redbone he was...boning...because she was married and happily destroying so many lives. And, I have issues with Mrs. Kilpatrick for sitting there in that men's suit. I'm almost tempted to understand why he cheated. Ok, I completely understand why. Oh well...Team Kwame.

Britney’s Spears’ Sister’s Baby...etc.



For the longest time I wasn’t intrigued by the Britney-Spears-is-crazy headlines. But when her 16 year-old sister got pregnant, I was forced to tune into the world of Trailer Park Trash with Money. What I found was startling! And admirable (in a shameful way). I can’t help but admire the White Girl spin that these girls are putting on the face of a "baby mama". Brit's a trailer park genius. And her sister? Learning fast.

Why do I think Brit’s a genius?

When she first got with K-Fed, she showed us that she don’t give a damn about anybody’s happiness but her own. She surely didn’t care about Shar Jackson’s feelings when she swept K-Fed off his break dancing feet. Then, she proceeded to do exactly what she wanted to do and married Kevin – with an iron tight pre-nup in place. She later pushed out 2 kids for him, completely ignoring family advice and onlooker criticism.

Then, still doing what the eff Britney wants to do, she cut her hair off and began the “I’m too crazy to raise these kids – here, you take em...” facade.

Britney tried out marriage and kids, but she ended up with a man who liked excessive partying and who wasn’t around much. Fine, says Britney. She got a divorce and now she’s playing a damn good “insane mommy” roll. Britney put a WHOLE new twist on being a baby mama. Shar Jackson tried to be the new age black baby mama by being “understanding” and “cool”, but Brit trumped all of that with a big middle finger – to Kevin, Shar, and the kids.

Poor Shar. She’d hung in there all that time as a regular old unwed baby mama. Britney swooped in, got married, had kids, and BOUNCED on everybody. It’s not right, but dammit, she’s Britney bitch.

And little Jamie Lynn is not even playing like she’s about to be any bodies baby mama. Only a Solange would raise a child at such a young age.

I bet a nigga won't impregnate them Spears girls.

The Wendy Williams Disconnect


Do you feel any kind of connection to Wendy Williams? As a woman, do you ever think, “I see myself in her...” Do you ever identify with Wendy? Does she remind you of your best friend, sister, mother, cousin? Or does she remind you of your gay friend, a transvestite around the corner, your gay brother…?


I have always voted that Wendy was probably born Wendell or even Leon, but definitely not Wendy. Some people laugh at me; few agree, but Wendy has to be a man for these reasons:

Wendy is 5’11. (Many natural born women are taller, sure.)

Wendy sounds like a man. (Height and voice go together, so that's ok.)

Wendy looks like a man. (True.)

Wendy went in hiding when she was pregnant. She called it “bed rest”. (Ping!)

Wendy ‘s husband always looks like he’s ashamed to be with her. Not because she’s loud and Tammy Faye Baker-ish looking, but because she is a HE. (Ping!)

I feel more of a connection with Serena Williams, as brute as she is, than with Wendy Williams. I know that Serena has her good and bad moments, but I also never ever doubt that Serena was born a female. She's just athletic. Wendy is a man.

As you're watching the heart-wrenching clip below, try to imagine Wendy without the make-up and you’ll see… that's a grown man under there.

Wendy's also obsessed by gay men. She’ll give a little bit of talk to lesbians and heteros, but her thing is exposing the gayness therewithin! Only fag hags and gay men are obsessed by gay men. I don’t see any gay men in Wendy’s entourage, so she’s not digging the girls who are obviously boys. And she clearly doesn’t like women. Yes, I know many women don’t like women, but this woman is a man. Period.

Wait – I just blew my own theory. I’m neither a fag hag nor a gay man – I’m a straight woman and I’m obsessed with wanting to out this “gay man”. ~Sigh~

My Blogging

I created the first gossip blog.

Whew! - I’ve been holding that in since I first clicked on the BEST entertainment blog out there: Crunk and Disorderly. I had been doing something much more low key (think: home spun) since 1999. Under the sickeningly soulful name of TexasFlava, I'd created a page on BlackPlanet for the sole purpose of getting my opinions into cyberspace. I had no desire to include any personal information on my page, although my pictures were splattered throughout.

Chris Alexander, a witty, smart, clever, and private friend of mine who passed away earlier this year (RIP PD), had an impersonal yet heavily trafficked page on BlackPlanet. Because I thought he was the coolest thing since Matthew Knowles, I wanted my page to be impersonal also. I did agree that it screamed of desperation to make your BlackPlanet page a personals ad, so I was never tempted to go that route. All I wanted to do, at first, was crack on wack pages on BP. Those commentaries quickly turned into celebrity and news opinions. I had a nice following, too.

A few years into it, I lucked up on Crunk and Disorderly. I was shocked! I laughed, and I went to some other celeb blogs. I quickly realized these folks were serious about blogging. My commitment just didn’t go that deep. But, I’ve tried to maintain some semblance of a blog. I have gotten pretty damn lazy about it though. Instead of the insightful musings that I was known for on BP, I’ve resorted to quips here and there on celeb sightings and events. Little news—and even fewer original ideas.

I think I’m ready to put a little more effort into this thing.
