All we can say is PREACH! Writer and MSNBC contributor has drawn some criticism for her outspoken criticism of Washington politics as usual and crooked azz Corporate America during an interview Wednesday. Taylor was asked about the catastrophic effect of the recession on minorities and she went IN on the folks she feels are responsible: “Catastrophic is right, you know. If you look at African-american and Hispanic households, fully a third of them report zero wealth. Not even a dollar in positive wealth. A lot of that wealth was tied up in the homes that they spent more than 75% of their income either buying or maintaining, and so when those homes were taken away, the wealth went with it. “If you put on top of that affordable health care and access to health insurance, then, you know, most of the bankruptcies in this country, especially from black and brown people, are driven because of health care costs, and so when you ask yourself what has happened to black and brown Americans, I can tell you what happened to them. “Corporate America happened to them. People who are, you know, literally raping these people over medical costs, exorbitant medical costs and then to turn around and swipe the homes that they worked their lives to build, you know, over some subprime lending issues. So I think that we ought to re-examine our priorities as a country and re-examine how to go forward. I don’t think that’s the America we’re banking on, the America we all believe in.” Sounds about right to us. You can watch the interview below:

Well this is expected, right?? It may have been Kelly Rowland’s party, but it turned into Beyoncé’s room. The sultry “Single Ladies” songstress took part in a Destiny’s Child reunion at the Top of the Standard on Tuesday night, but only after her former bandmates came to her. With her husband, Jay-Z, out on the West Coast, Beyoncé showed up at the Standard Hotel hot spot accompanied only by a security detail. Upon her arrival around 1 a.m., Beyoncé’s bodyguards initially seemed to be leading her toward the back of the club where Rowland was celebrating the release of her third solo album, “Here I Am,” with the third member of Destiny’s Child, Michelle Williams, and British pop star Estelle. But then the script got flipped. Although the crowd had thinned considerably by the time Beyoncé arrived, her appearance caused quite a stir among the remaining revelers. As a result, her handlers seemed to think better of ferrying Beyoncé through the clamoring crowd to the back of the room. Instead, they installed the diva in one of the club’s front banquettes and brought Rowland to her. The security detail also set about preventing anyone from snapping Sasha Fierce’s picture. One bodyguard went so far as to shine his flashlight in the faces of would-be shutterbugs. When Rowland arrived at her former band-mate’s banquette, the two reunited with a very long hug. Before the reunited pop trio left the club together around 2 a.m., Rowland took to the microphone to thank those who’d attended, including singer Maxwell, model Jessica White, actress Tika Sumpter and Kanye West protégé Big Sean. The deejay then played the first single from Rowland’s album, “Motivation,” and it lived up to its title. Beyoncé and Williams were soon singing and dancing along to the track before calling it a night. SMH at Kelly having to be “brought to” King Beysus at her own damn party. Poor thang. Source

Dirty, nasty, filthy, skanky, druggy freaks! That’s how we’d sum up most of the ladies who made this list. And while Ke$ha might have the title on lock right now some of these broads have been doing their dirt for decades. Check out who else made the list.
For some music fans, it may be hard for former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland to get from underneath Beyoncé’s shadow. Despite being without a label for almost a year, Rowland has been recording songs for an as-of-yet-to-be titled album through Universal Motown Records. But don’t be mistaken—it wasn’t as if Rowland took a hiatus from music like Beyoncé has for the past year. Ms. Kelly has chose to grind. But with the growing murmurs that B is coming back bigger, better and blacker than ever this summer, will all of Rowland’s work be in vain? After collaborating to record the theme song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, Rowland toured Europe, Asia, and Australia. She earned critical acclaim from the electro-pop community for her work with David Guetta, and as one of the headlining acts of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Party with George Michael.

Here’s a video of Destiny’s Child doing some kind of auditon in 1997. I’m guessin’ it’s got something to do with them trying to get a record deal and the only thing we can all learn from this is that Beyonce’s ass has always been fat, even when she was a teenager in ill-fitting hood pants
