With the help of a continuously embattled (but still sexy) Chris Brown, last week, Keri Hilson debuted the song and video “One Night Stand” from her album, No Boys Allowed. The sexy duet, scorching from the recording to the dark video and its synchronized dance breakdown, brought to mind all the dope duets in sexy R&B over the years. Not the lovey-dovey Ashford & Simpson or Marvin & Tammi type joints, but the make your ears melt and make you turn it down when people come around type tracks. There’s too many to narrow down, but here are a few you’ll need to get a hold of ASAP. ( Continue… )

Is it true that opposites attract? If so, exactly how does that work? If she’s short and dumpy, does she get with the tall guy with the chiseled abs? Hmmmm We asked some New Yorkers this question. See what they had to say at MadameNoire.com
It’s some hoes in this house, it’s some hoes in this house… An Australian nightclub is promoting breast enlargement surgery as a prize in a controversial lottery which has infuriated body image experts, women’s groups and plastic surgeons. Sin City Nightclub this week launched posters of well-endowed, lingerie-clad women holding a sign saying “Win a boob job worth $10,000.” Nightclub owner Jamie Pickering said male and female patrons at the April 3 Ibiza-themed party at the heart of the promotion would be given scratchie-style tickets that would give them either minor prizes or, if their scratchie dictated, a chance to enter the ticket in the barrel for the “boob job” draw. What better way to get people to come party than to give away some brand new t*tties?!? Clearly, this club’s promoter is a marketing GENIUS! *side-eye* Read more at HipHopWired.com
And this guy was mad at Kobe for talking to the cops?? WORCESTER — Boston Celtics center Shaquille O’Neal will accompany Worcester County Sheriff Lewis G. Evangelidis on a visit tomorrow to the Mercy Center, 25 West Chester St. The 15-time All-Star NBA player will spend time with the clients and then be sworn in as a member of the Worcester County Reserve Deputy Sheriff Association. The event is not open to the public. Mr. O’Neal, who is active in community and charitable work, will be the first member of the organization sworn in by Sheriff Evangelidis. “The sheriff is committed to expanding the role that the WCRDSA plays in local communities and hopes that making Shaq his first member will help set the tone for others to volunteer to give back to their communities,” said sheriff spokesman David Tuttle. Aight aight aight we’ll lay off The Big Aristotle since he’s doin’ this for help recruit volunteers for the community. Play on playa… Source
It’s been a long, bloody time coming but the people of Egypt officially have their “free” now. CAIRO — Eager for their first taste of a free vote in decades, Egyptians formed long lines outside polling centers on Saturday to cast their ballots on a package of constitutional amendments sponsored by the ruling military. The nationwide referendum is the first major test of the country’s transition to democracy after a popular uprising overthrew President Hosni Mubarak’s authoritarian rule on Feb. 11. Voters were being asked to cast ballots to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the entire package of nine changes. Preliminary results will be announced Sunday. A “yes” vote would allow parliamentary and presidential elections to be held later this year or early in the next. A “no” vote could force the military to extend the six-month deadline it has set for the handover of power to an elected civilian government. “My vote today will make a difference. It’s as simple as that,” first-time voter Hossam Bishay, 48, said as he waited in line with about 300 others outside a polling center in Cairo’s upscale Zamalek district. The center was guarded by six police officers and one from the army. Reports say that some people think that this vote is a little premature and the country hasn’t formed a suitable governing body. But the fact that they can even express this concern is a sign that democracy is prevailing. Praise be to Allah… Source
As a black woman married to a white man, Christelyn Karazin has had her share of people critiquing her relationship , why she’s in it, why she chose him, blah, blah, blah. She’s also done her own introspection over the 12 years they’ve been together, and in retrospect, wouldn’t change a thing. I know that’s it’s just easier for some black folks who are against interracial marriage (mostly it seems it’s directed mostly at black women who do it) to clump all of us couples into one, self-hating batch. But not so fast. I’m with my husband not because I hate myself. In fact, I feel quite the opposite. I married him because I think quite highly of myself, thankyouverymuch. I came to the point in my life that after much dating and striking out, I needed to stop being a mile wide and an inch deep about my choices in men. I had to stop being so shallow about stupid crap like, is he fine? what kind of car does he drive? Can he dance? Does he have a penis like a horse? and really, I mean, REALLY examine what was important to me in a life partner. Qualities that go beyond the level of melanin, like integrity, honesty, a strong sense of family and value of marriage, commitment, love, affection, little-to-no drama, and loyalty led me to my choice. For the first time in my life, I picked character above color, and I will not ever apologize for that. Continue reading at MadameNoire.com
