Few things leave us speechless, but this video…well, it’s one of them. All we can say is that this is the result of a collaboration between Erykah Badu and indie weirdos The Flaming Lips , those are actually Erykah’s sister Nayrok Badu’ s boobs, bush, and gently jiggling butt you see covered in glitter and blood, and we have no idea what she’s bathing in starting at the 3-minute, 37-second mark….but it looks like Badu-jism.

Women With Multiple Baby Daddies It’s easier for men to go around with a ton of baby mommas. All they have to do is dump a few seeds and skip off to the next town. For ladies, though, it’s a full 10-month process to get knocked up so it’s harder to have multiple baby daddies. Yet these ladies manage to pull it off. At least some of them have been married, if that makes it better.

Martin of Detroit during an argument at Stewart’s home in Hampton, located in Henry County. Henry County District Attorney Tommy Floyd told the AP that Redd was cleared of the murder charge Thursday after judge Wade Crumbley determined that the producer acted in self-defense.

In the latest issue of GQ Magazine singer Erykah Badu tells writer Sean Fennessy about her early days working at Steve Harvey’s comedy house. The artist said she was doing more acting at the time and even tried her hand at stand-up. Given her sense of humor we think she should give it another shot. Read on… GQ: You were a rapper at one point, too. Was there a time when being an MC seemed more likely for you than being a singer? Erykah Badu: That was back when I was in college. I went to [Grambling State] university from 1989 to ’93 to study theater, so I was an actor at that point. It wasn’t my aspiration to be a singer, it was to be an artist. When I was 23 or 24, I was rapping and emceeing a lot with Free, but I was also working at Steve Harvey’s comedy house. He was my boss—the best boss ever. Funny, generous, considerate, and he knew I was an artist. When I started working there I was a waitress, and somehow I became a hostess. When he knew he could trust me, he moved me to the ticket booth. I handled money and helped organize transportation and hotel reservations for the comedians that came in. I noticed Steve didn’t have a stage manager, so I got that job, making sure everybody was taken care of. I love being of service to people—the whole act of it is really great to me. One day Steve was late going onstage, so I went out to the mic and threw out some jokes and stuff. People were laughing and heckling and having fun and Steve came onstage and scolded me in front of everybody. It was so funny. We started doing it every night. [Laughs] It felt like, This is where I want to be . Steve was really inspirational in that. Read More At GQ RELATED POSTS: Black Hollywood Attends Black Girls Rock!
