Janelle Monae and her beautiful grill just landed the cover of ESSENCE Magazine ! Here’s what readers can expect from the cover story: Janelle Monáe is no ordinary artist. She lives, breathes and dreams of being true to herself, inspiring young women and, of course, imagining interplanetary escapades. ESSENCE Contributing Writer Lola Ogunnaike visits the singer’s quirky Wondaland studio and discovers the beauty and brilliance of her world. Monáe is also slated to perform on the Mainstage during the ESSENCE Festival, held July 4th weekend in New Orleans. And here’s an interesting quote from the story: “Showing my skin is not what makes me s3xy. I like skirts and dresses just like everyone else, but I had a message I needed to put out there. It was up to me to show people and young girls there was another way…”— Janelle Monáe Oooh we like! Sounds like she is trying to balance out all the Rihannas of the world.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta went “Donktabulous” this week, whatever the heck that means. We run down the battling booty videos in our THG’s +/- recap! Kenya, Kenya, Kenya. The girl can’t keep it together when her ex is around. The man’s so boring I can’t even remember his name but she freaks out if they’re at the same party. Minus 12. The moment Kandi warns her that Walter is in the house Kenya goes twirling out of control spouting off about him being a stalker and how she didn’t bring her security. Seriously girl, grab a drink and calm down. No one enjoyed the show more than Phaedra and Apollo. Those two knew Walter was coming but kept it to themselves just to watch the fun. Minus 10. Finally Kenya twirled herself right out of the party and thankfully no luxury vehicles were injured in the process. Plus 15. No one needs that much drama. Later Cynthia tries to tell Kenya she’s being dramatic and unnecessary. No kidding. Plus 9 for not setting Kenya up with somebody just yet. Miss USA needs to get over this train wreck before heading smack dab into a new one. Porsha decides to get some professional help. Plus 20. Not that all of the housewives couldn’t use some help. It seems like Porsha’s trying to figure out who she is in the scheme of things. Minus 16 for when she tells her shrink she doesn’t want to put any expectations on Kordell when it comes to having kids. Aren’t they suppose to be in this together? Maybe she and Kordell need a little Bedroom Kandi to lighten things up but somehow he just doesn’t seem the type. That’s a shame because Kandi’s empire continues to grow. Plus 25 . Did you see all of those Bedroom Kandi consultants. That’s a whole lot of sex toys being sold. Phaedra and Kenya are finally producing those workout videos and I’ll give Kenya her due. Plus 30. Her video looked like the real deal. Phine Bodies by Phaedra on the other hand was not so fine. Yes, it had the phenomenal Beverly Hills mansion with a view but it also had Phaedra jumping around and panting between takes. Phaedra says, “I grew this thing. I didn’t buy it.” I have no doubt she grew that booty but was it through exercise or lots of rich Southern food? Minus 22. We’ll all have to wait and see what the finished products look like in the end…both the video and the booty. And the big romantic surprise of the night was Gregg proposing…again, to NeNe. They laughed. They cried but in the end I wasn’t sure what NeNe Leakes answer would be. Plus 50 . She said yes. Congratulations to the happy couple and good luck on the second time around. Now on to the finale… EPISODE TOTAL: +89! SEASON TOTAL: -259!
These beyotches are out of their minds. Khloe Judges Kim And Kourtney’s Pineapple Juice Private Part Smelling Contest Via USMagazine Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian found an unusual and perverse way to entertain themselves during the March 17 episode of E!’s Kourtney & Kim Take Miami. While staying at London’s famed Dorchester hotel, the trio decided to test Khloe’s theory that drinking pineapple juice “makes everything sweeter” — namely a woman’s genitals. The sisters drank the fruit juice for several days in preparation for their “vagina smell-off.” Kim later questioned her challenger’s motives, telling the camera, “Kourtney seems very competitive about her vagina. I don’t know why Kourtney is challenging me, but she will lose.” “If I’m going to win this I need to get as much pineapple juice as I can,” Kourtney reasoned. “It makes the vag smell good.” Khloe, who had been co-hosting The X Factor in L.A., flew to London to judge her sisters. “Do I want to be the judge of the pineapple p-ssy? Not really,” the 28-year-old admitted. “But we’re sisters. If I can’t smell their p-ssies, what else am I supposed to do?” Kourtney was the first to wipe her genitals with a hand towel for Khloe to sniff. “Mmm, smells like a tropical island,” Khloe quipped. As 32-year-old Kim entered the room, Khloe joked, “I’m not smelling Kanye [West]‘s d-ck!” Khloe then took a whiff of Kim’s towel and laughed, “Oooh! It smells like a flower p-ssy.” After several minutes of deliberation Khloe declared a winner… “Honestly, I will say that Kim’s p***y is the best,” Khloe decided. “She’s the kitty winner.” Kourtney, 33, didn’t seem convinced. “If Kim needs to think she’s won, then fine, I’ll let her think that,” she said, “but we all know whose vagina is the sweetest of them all.” Seems that we have a discrepancy, anyone want to break the tie? Congrats Kim, guess Kanye chose the right sister. Image via E!
It’s a girl for Jason and Molly Mesnick, The Bachelor couple welcomed daughter Riley Anne Mesnick on Thursday, March 14, in Seattle, Washington. RIley weighed in at 6 lbs., 8 oz., and is 18 3/4 inches long. Jason says “daddy’s little girl” has “a full head of hair … probably more than I’ll have in the next few years.” He’s clearly in love with both women in his life. “What’s amazing to me is when Molly is holding Riley , her eyes do not come off her,” Jason, 36, adds. “I’m already seeing how much Molly loves the baby. This is the first child together for Jason Mesnick and the former Molly Malaney, 28, who met on Season 13 of The Bachelor and married the following year. It’s Molly’s first child. Riley joins big brother Tyler, 8, his son from his previous marriage. Needless to say, Ty is pretty excited about the new addition. “Ty has been asking for a sibling for so long,” Jason says. “He was here earlier holding her and kissing her and it was really, really cute. We’re so happy.” Congratulations to the couple! Here’s hoping Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici take their cues from these two, making it work so well after the show.

See what locking up Chief Keef can do for a city? Chicago Murders Down 26% From Last Year Via NBCChicago After Chicago’s murder rate made national headlines last year, the city’s police superintendent announced murders are down 26 percent. That’s compared to where the city was this time last year when murders shot up in the first quarter. Shooting incidents are down 19 percent year over year, Supt. Garry McCarthy said. He said the majority of that can be traced back to guns and violence, which police are trying new tactics to combat. In the past month, narcotics officers on the West Side have done a number of undercover drug buys with a focus on “that H” and crack. One buy ended with 15 gang members in custody and the other led to the arrest of a dozen. The store where the second investigation led to a bust has since been shut down, and McCarthy said that should serve as a warning to other Chicago businesses. “It’s real simple,” McCarthy said. “If you’re engaged in it, you’re going to lose your business. If you’re engaged in facilitating or tolerating these behaviors, you’re going to lose your licenses and we’re going to go after your business.” In the first 10 weeks of 2013, McCarthy said Chicago police took 3,100 guns off the streets. Congratualations to Supt McCarthy and the Chi-town police department. Now we know you all can be as crooked as the day is long, so we hope that these numbers are a true reflection of a decrease in crime and not some math trick that makes it appear that you are actually doing a good job.

Is it a Kimyeisha or a Kanye Jr? Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Find Out Their Baby’s Sex? The rumor mill is swirling with talk that Kanye and his big-bootied babymama Kim K have finally found out the sex of their little baby baller in waiting . via US Weekly Start buying little leather dresses! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West just found out they’re expecting a baby girl, a source close to the pregnant reality star tells Us Weekly exclusively. “They’re over the moon!” a source close to the first-time parents-to-be tells Us. “Kanye always wanted a girl.” Kardashian, 32, and West, 35, began dating in April 2012 and announced they were expecting on Dec. 30. The couple’s daughter, due in July, will no doubt be very well dressed. “If anyone knows Kanye, they just know how into fashion he is, and I think he’s going to have things specially made,” Kim said of the rapper and fashion designer on Jimmy Kimmel Live in January. “So I don’t think hand-me-downs are going to work.” Kardashian and West’s baby girl will join cousins Mason, 3, and Penelope, 7 months. Since there hasn’t been any official confirmation from either of the parents-to-be yet, we’re still taking this one as a rumor. Baby KimYeisha may or may not be making an appearance later this summer…
