Rihanna has another girl crush! Rihanna Admits Lust For Cheryl Cole In her recent interview with Esquire UK Rihanna admits she’s got a jones in her bones for British pop star and former “X Factor” judge Cheryl Cole: “Ooh! Cheryl Cole is hot,” Rihanna tells Esquire UK.”I would just like to watch her work. Preferably cleaning things on the floor. Picking up stuff on the floor. Bending over.” Cole is hardly the only woman that Rihanna has expressed sexual interest in. Earlier this month, the “Umbrella” singer posted photos of herself partying with strippers on Twitter. In April, she spoke about going on her “first date in almost two years” with pal Melissa Forde. Not only do the lyrics to Rihanna’s song “Te Amo” hint at Sapphic impulses, but she has also been known to flirt with rapper Nicki Minaj over Twitter. Last year, Rihanna tweeted, “Me and Nikki in our new crib, lol! Getting busy on the set of FLY!!! Its so hard to keep my hands off!” Minaj responded, “@rihanna lol. If we’re gonna liv 2gthr and hook up u gotta learn how 2 spell my name!” Rihanna’s full interview appears in the July issue of Esquire UK. We can’t even tell anymore if Rihanna does this stuff for attention or if she is just letting that freak flag fly freely. Do you think Cheryl would bend over for RihRih??? Source WENN
Tameka may of had a point, Usher sure does like those “Lil Freaks” Usher fears he has been too “experimental” in his romantic relationships.The singer is currently embroiled in a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife Tameka Foster, who this week claimed he cheated on her with a woman who had been a bridesmaid at their wedding: Usher has spoken philosophically about romance, claiming his protégé Justin Bieber is actually better at them than he is. “Well, check it out, it the area of relationships, he’s actually done a lot better than I did,” Usher told Q magazine. “He doesn’t have as many issues. He knows what he wants. What were my issues? Well maybe not locking into one relationship! I was a little bit more? experimental. I’ve had many women. And I understand how to deal with a lot of different ones? But it is complicated when your reality is a fantasy. Fame is the modern double-edged sword.” The 33-year-old thinks many men make the mistake of thinking all women are the same. He understands that isn’t the case and has also realised what they find sexy in a man. “There’s a lot of them,” he laughed, when asked what he has learnt about females. Poor thang! it must be so hard to be famous, wealthy and good looking. Boohoo, sad story. Experimental huh? HOW YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU DOIN Usher?! We wonder what type of “experiements” he was doing and with whom…
Can you believe this is his first interview in 12 years??? D’Angelo has cleaned up his act and is preparing to finally release another album and he talks about his past struggles with fame and the road to his return with GQ. We’ve got some excerpts for you here: R&B Singer And Mother Of D’Angelo’s Son Angie Stone Recalls When Fame Started To Take Over : Stone remembers an event in Manhattan in September 1996 that was billed as Giorgio Armani’s tribute to D’Angelo. Stone—thirteen years older than D—was three months pregnant with their son. They headed to the event together in a limo, but as they neared the venue where D was going to perform, it suddenly pulled over. “He was asked to get into another car, where he would be escorted by Vivica Fox,” Stone says, her voice breaking slightly. The lissome Fox had just appeared with Will Smith in the blockbuster Independence Day. “It was a Hollywood moment. They wanted a trophy girl. I had to walk in behind them to flashing cameras. It started the wheels turning of what was yet to come.” D’Angelo Turned Down Madonna: When Madonna turned 39, she asked him to sing “Happy Birthday” at her party. One press report had her sitting on his lap and French-kissing him. In fact, two sources say that ultimately D rebuffed her advances at another gathering not long after. At that event, the sources say, Madonna walked over and told a woman sitting next to D, “I think you’re in my seat.” The woman got up. Madonna sat down and told him, “I’d like to know what you’re thinking.” To which D replied, “I’m thinking you’re rude.” Sorry but we love that one! The Energy Behind “Untitled” Was Less About Sex Than Food : Paul Hunter, the director hired to make the video, says his work was misunderstood: “Most people think the ‘Untitled’ video was about sex, but my direction was completely opposite of that. It was about his grandmother’s cooking.” I’ve stopped by Hunter’s office in Culver City, California, to hear how D’Angelo came to be filmed bare-chested (but for a gold cross on a chain around his neck), wearing only a pair of precariously low-slung pajama bottoms, looking like a wolf circling a b!tch in heat. Illuminated from every angle, he spins very slowly as the camera fetishizes his every ripple and drop of sweat. I’ve imagined a lot of things that inspired the song’s rousing lyrics (Love to make you wet / In between your thighs cause / I love when it comes inside of you), but collard greens weren’t among them. Hunter is quick to explain that he, like D, was raised in the Pentecostal church. “When I used to sing in the choir,” Hunter says, “after the rehearsal, you go in to eat. I remembered seeing the preacher looking at a lady’s skirt one week and then, the next Sunday, talking about how fornication is wrong.” Such mixed messages about the pleasures of the flesh were intertwined with the pleasures of the palate—part of the same sensual stew. “So I was like, ‘Think of your grandmother’s greens, how it smelled in the kitchen. What did the yams and fried chicken taste like? That’s what I want you to express.’ “ The video may have looked like foreplay, but it was actually about family, Hunter insists—about intimacy. Later, when I tell D’Angelo this, he says, “It’s so true: We talked about the Holy Ghost and the church before that take. The veil is the nudity and the sexuality. But what they’re really getting is the spirit.” That’s interesting right? Hit the flip for more D’Angelo quotes about the cost of fame and how he self destructed…
Happy Birthday to one of the greatest Black leaders this country has ever seen. A List Of Malcolm X’s Most Powerful Quotes There are few figures in the black freedom struggle as dynamic and complex as Malcolm X who would have celebrated his 86th birthday if he were still alive today. Dr. Manning Marable’s recently released book, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, has helped spark new debate and renewed popular interest in this iconoclastic and central figure of the civil rights era. Before his life was taken by the bullets of assassins, some of whom may have never been brought to justice for their crimes, Malcolm X was on a breathtaking journey building new organizations and planting the seeds of a global Pan-African movement to help address the crisis faced by blacks in urban America. Dr. Marable’s new work methodically peels back the layers and helps shed light on the real Malcolm X, who, though imperfect and flawed as the rest of us, was steadily undergoing personal transformation and evolving politically. But just as powerful as his actions were his words which struck chords, ignited debates and roused audiences all over the globe.

Talk to em’ boo-boo! Evelyn Lozada Writes Blog About Basketball Wives Image Last night’s episode was a whirlwind of emotions for everyone. It’s such a sensitive subject for me because I honestly see it from both sides. I’m not here to condemn or condone anyone especially given some of my choices this season, however I will say that once again last night’s episode and all that happened forced me to look at and examine myself in ways that I haven’t in the past. No matter what the situation is, I’m realizing that we as grown women are allowing ourselves to be placed in a position for judgment. I’m confident that I speak for many of us on the show that when it comes to creating a better balance for television, we are all working very hard to do just that. Many of us are getting help for our inner issues and striving to portray a more positive image overall. Tahiti was just an example of all of us being a true work in progress… Hang in there with us, as we vow to grow and become better! Until next week! xoxo, Ev Evelyn seems to have had an awakening of sorts after watching the fawkery that has taken place over this season. Hopefully these words are not in vain. Source
SMH at this guy . John Mayer is still doing damage control over all that dumb isht he said TWO YEARS AGO: Following two explosive interviews with Playboy and Rolling Stone in 2010, where he likened his chemistry with Jessica Simpson to “sexual napalm” and blamed his split with Jennifer Aniston on his frequent tweeting, Mayer felt the need to escape. “It was a very strange time and it sort of rocketed me into adulthood. It was a violent crash into being an adult,” Mayer, 34, said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday. “For a couple of years it was just figuring it all out ,and I’m glad I actually stayed out of the spotlight. Because I think back then I would of said, ‘Give me two weeks or let me get out and do Ellen and let me explain myself.’ It was like, ‘No, idiot. Go away and be 33 and 34 instead of 28 for the fourth year.” Mayer said he “had to go home for a minute” to heal from the backlash in 2010. “The plan that originally gets you out of high school and your hometown, in front of people, that plan was over. I had done it. I just sort of lost my head for a little while.” The “Shadow Days” singer — whose new album, Born and Raised, will be released May 22 — was forced to cancel his 21-city tour in March in order to remove a granuloma just above his vocal cord. (He first had surgery to remove the enlarged nodule in October 2011.) “It’s not a health concern whatsoever, but it has taken me out of singing,” Mayer told host Ellen DeGeneres, 54. “I tried to beat it the first time and couldn’t.” Mayer then explained how the medical procedure works. “They cut this thing out of your throat and then they inject your vocal cords with Botox, which freezes your vocal cords so that this thing can heal without smacking up against the other side,” he said. “I just need more Botox next time.” SMH @ them mentioning him fouling up Jen Aniston and Jessica Simpson but leaving out the n-word and the fact that he said he has a racist peen that would only let him close to black women that look like Kerry Washington or Holly Robinson Peete. Karma is a muhfugga though. Prolly why his voice is all messed up now! Source Continue reading →
Kim doesn’t want to talk about herself or her relationships? Say it ain’t so… Kimmy Cakes apparently “isn’t ready” to discuss her new relationship with Yeezy. The reality tv attention slore appears to be taking a more reserved and shy approach in the media, following severe backlash after announcing her divorce from husband of 72 days, Kris “Dumped” Humphries: Despite parading around with Kanye on several dates and to red carpet events, Kim says she is cautious about opening up about her new romance. “I don’t know if I’m ready to talk about him. I feel like I’ve had such a hard time sharing my love life that now I’m a little bit more reserved on that,” Kim told MTV News. While Kim may not want to talk about Kanye, her younger sister Khloe has no problems discussing their relationship, revealing that the rapper has brought out the star’s “wild side.” We don’t believe you girl. Kim and Yeezy have never taken as many random walks in both their lives, much less ones where the paps just happen to be everywhere they are. Considering Kim lives her life in the spotlight, surely it’s hypocritical to keep her romance under wraps? Source
Sad day in the Bayou One of the stars of History Channel’s show Swamp People died this morning. Via TMZ reports : Assumption Parish Sheriff Mike Waguespack says Mitchell Guist – who starred on the show with brother Glenn – was pronounced dead at a hospital today, reports AP. He was loading something onto his boat when he slipped and fell around 9 a.m. on the Intracoastal Waterway, near Pierre Part, La., according to WAFB. The sheriff says it appeared he had some sort of seizure, but it is uncertain if the seizure was caused from the fall. More: Rednecks swamp reality TV An autopsy will have to be performed before an official cause of death can be announced.

We bet he’ll be doing some great fishing in the big swamp in the sky. Continue reading →
Is it too late? Folks have had enough of “Basketball Wives” making a mockery of black women on TV and Shaunie O’Neal, Vh1 and Shed Media are now making promises that may be hard to keep — no more physical violence on the show. We know Jen must be relieved she won’t be getting smacked on camera anymore! Peep the full statements below. From Shaunie O’Neal: “This has definitely been a heated season. “Basketball Wives” is filled with a lot of strong personalities with months, weeks, days and hours condensed into about 45 minutes each episode. Unfortunately, a lot of these personalities have clashed and let their opinions and emotions overwhelm them which has at times gotten the best of them, escalating into physical confrontations. As this group has been blessed with strong, smart, independent, sassy women with as much passion as vocabulary, there’s NO excuse for physical violence. So the cast, SHED Media and Vh1 have done a gut check, to stop allowing physical violence demoralize the show and impose a no-physical violence policy. Personally, I almost didn’t come back to the show but I thought it was important for this to be said as some of the past actions this season I have not agreed with, it’s not what I stand for and never have. So moving forward, we have agreed to better the show, still with plenty of drama and fun (how can we help that?!) but with a more responsible attitude all around. This is important for me specifically as an executive and what I do and don’t attach my name to, as a grown woman, and as a positive role model to my kids. “ Nice — but how much fun has this season really been? Especially for poor Jen? Here’s the statement from SHED Media: “Shed Media US is fully committed to telling the compelling stories of the Basketball Wives in a balanced way. Our producing partner Shaunie O’Neal feels strongly about this, and we fully agree with this stance. We support her as she encourages the cast members to work out issues in a non-violent fashion,” reports Shed. “We look forward to working with her and the rest of the cast on conveying more balance in the next season.” And this is what Vh1 had to say: “Lately, there has been a lot of conversation about Basketball Wives, a series featuring strong, intelligent women with very passionate viewpoints which can sometimes escalate. We at VH1 agree with and support Shaunie and the show producers’ “no excessive physical confrontations” policy on the series moving forward,” reports VH1. “We are all committed to balancing the candid, bold excitement that the viewers have come to love in the series with storylines and representations they can be proud of.” Is it too little, too late? And do you even believe them? Continue reading →
