Some Black History Month Preciousness: Toddlers Pay Homage To African-American Achievers

How cute… Children Channel African-American Achievers For Black History Month Photographer Eunique Jones solicited the help of a few young faces to pay homage to some notable African-American achievers for Black History Month . via Miss Jia This just might be one of the cutest things I have seen in a long time. Photographer, Eunique Jones, launched an amazing campaign in honor of Black History Month, showcasing a famous figure for each day of February with the help of some adorable children. As a motivational speaker and a photographer, I recently realized that my lens can also be my microphone. For Black History Month, I wanted to create a campaign that would empower and excite young people about their history and their future in a creative and yet relatable way. I thought about my two sons and how they were both born during President Barack Obama’s election and re-election. How awesome is that?! From there, I began to think about all of the individuals, past and current, who have and/or continue to blaze new trails and pave the way for the future. Because of Them, We Can. Too adorable! Check out a few more precious pics on the flip…

The 2013 Oscar Recap of the Day

I live tweeted the Oscars as opposed to pre-program tweeted the Oscars….I got a few tedious hours in before Twitter put me on lockdown for tweeting too much…..which was unfortunate because it was before Jennifer Lawrence, all awkward as shit fell, or Anne Hathaway robbed the awards because cutting your hair while fake crying for 5 minutes, should not be an Oscar winning performance to me, it was also right before Adele won more than just an eating contest, or the biggest splash at the public pool,the pregnant woman who like an elephant stays pregnant for over a year, or the heaviest girl in the history of her grade school…fat is a choice people…a horrible choice that deserves to be mocked so that young girls don’t make it….but I did manage to experience a jittery, unshowered, medicated Kristen Stewart and other really uneventful shit that didn’t give me a boner, that felt like a badly produced high school play, and I only laughed at a joke about Abe Lincoln’s assassination…I also liked the Shark attack music the less cool winners who weren’t good for ratings got…while Anne Hathaway coulda gone on in her soft spoken, trying to act sincere, cuz she is an Oscar winner you know, bullshit……. Maybe I am a hater…cuz I just can’t see past how fucking pathetic it is to celebrate rich and famous people who are already celebrated everyday….for their acting that is essentially lying…that they get overpaid for and that brings no good to the fucking world….other than distract them from real issues….it’s a farce, a lie, and even the winners are fucking obvious… The only performance that was impressive this year was Hush Puppy in Beasts of the Southern Wild.. cuz she’s 9…..and she was robbed……and thanks to that rejection at a young age…will have horrible repressed memories…so if the Oscars did anything this year…it was teach a young girl about failure at a young age…pretty much ruining her life….thanks for that you assholes….. I guess they also gave a billion women something to fantasize about too…but that doesn’t mean it didn’t suck, and wasn’t a waste of fucking time….. Here ares some pics from instagram….

I Feel Real Bad For Kim Kardashian’s Leggings

So now that Kim Kardashian ‘s knocked up, I kind of forgot that her cleavage wasn’t going to be the only thing to grow along with her stomach. I guess I just didn’t think that booty could get any bigger than it already was. I’m guessing her leggings didn’t either. Anyway, this might be the first time in the history of the site that I’m going to ask the paparazzi to stick to photographing the front of a celebrity wearing leggings from now on. For all our sakes. » view all 15 photos Related Articles: Kim Lee Fills Out A Tank Top Nicely Kim Lee Drops Some Nice Big Cleavage Kim Kardashian’s Ass Pushes Her Leggings To The Limit Kim Kardashian Knows How To Get Attention Photos: WENN.com

I’m Lily and I am 13 years old. In the history of me being a belieber, I never would have thought that I would get the chance to meet Justin. However on November 9th, 2012, it came true. I had received tickets for his show at the Izod Center that night, and also meet & greets that my dad surprised me with. I almost fainted when I found out. After waiting in the line for hours, we stumbled across two people that are far from normal – Kenny and Fredo! Afterwards, all of a sudden my friend and I saw a bunch of people crowding around, so we went to see what was up as my dad held our spot in line. Running, we found Jaden Smith! I couldn’t believe it, and had to control myself. We went back in line for about another hour. All of a sudden, I was next in line, about to meet Justin Drew Bieber. A man opened up the curtain and I watched as Justin was saying goodbye to the previous group. I started crying and hyperventilating. As I was looking at Justin, this man puts his hand on my shoulders and starts shaking me, saying, “Calm down! Calm down!” I was like, “Dude get off of-” IT WAS KENNY. KENNY WAS SHAKING ME. I then apologized and starting crying some more. Kenny then said, “Okay you HAVE to breathe!” I don’t know why I did this, but I put my hand in my mouth for some odd reason. At this point, Justin was staring at us, smiling. I was watching Justin Bieber smile at me. WHAT? I then hugged Kenny and ran into the room. “Oh my god. Justin hey. Oh my god I love you.” He said, “Awe, I love you too!” He smiled and then wrapped his arm around me for the picture. Then, I didn’t know what to do with my hand, so I put it on his back and rubbed it. They took the picture and then we just stared at each other. “Goodbye Justin, I love you,” I said crying. “Goodbye sweetheart!” he said waving. I stood there for around 10 seconds, while we were just staring at each other. Security had to end up escorting me out. It was the best moment ever. It made my entire life. And the concert hadn’t even started yet. I sat in section F, row 6, which basically was row 26 of the floor. At the concert, he mentioned how Jerry was in the right position, and he performed shirtless. It made my life. I swear. Him and Jaden ended up singing, ‘Fairytale’ which is one of my favorite songs. When I showed the pictures to my friends, they say how I look much younger, which is what love does to you. I couldn’t be more in love with Justin and that night. I could make this story go on forever, but I will just take off from here. Basically, it was the best night of my life. One I will never forget. -Lily Visit link: I’m Lily and I am 13 years old.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap – A Fool Is a Fool

The Real Housewives of Atlanta “Praise the Pageant.” If only they would have taken the time for a dress rehearsal. We recap all the bloopers in our THG +/- review. Cynthia throws her Miss Renaissance Pageant with lots of pushing and little polish. Minus 20 . Perhaps a dress rehearsal or two would have helped. Where to begin?  How about with actor and celebrity host Boris Kodjoe. No doubt he’s a handsome man in anything he wears but  Cynthia obviously needed to specify he should wear a suit, especially when all of the ladies on stage were wearing gowns.  Minus 15 .  Who shows up to host a pageant wearing jeans and sneakers? The man obviously needs his stylist…or his momma to dress him properly. On the up side, Cynthia was rocking that wig. Plus 10. The pageant goes off with plenty of hitches. The script is out of order. The girls’ names are all wrong and then there’s awkward silence as the judges tally the votes.  Minus 18. Not that I wanted to hear Porsha sing but Cynthia should have had something planned for that obvious lull in the festivities.   Like NeNe I couldn’t believe that Cynthia asked Kenya to be a judge in the pageant given their history and Kenya’s recent behavior at public events. NeNe warned her that, “a fool is a fool.” Surprisingly that’s the one decision that didn’t blow up on her. Plus 13 . Kenya showed up with her Miss USA sash but no tiara. If you can’t wear your crown to a pageant, well then where can you wear one? How funny was it to hear Phaedra try to tell Cynthia that it all went off without a hitch?  Not even Cynthia could listen to that with a straight face. The pageant wasn’t the only thing giggle worthy in this episode.  Try Porsha babysitting her niece.   First off, where were the child’s shoes? Then Porsha learns just how quick those little legs can carry a one year old as Jayden toddles out of the kitchen.  Word of advice…the dog is not an acceptable babysitter. Minus 9. Porsha did her best but Kordell might be wrong about the nanny. My guess is Porsha will have one even if she’s home 24/7. Speaking of Kordell, was that being traditional or controlling. Minus 11.   Sometimes  it sounds more like he’s speaking to his teenage daughter than his wife. Across town, Kandi and Todd have dinner with Phaedra and Apollo and remind me not to accept a dinner invitation from Phaedra.  I don’t care how good the food or how impressed Phaedra is with the his vocabulary, listening to the chef compare my meal to genitalia was simply unappetizing. Minus 30. Can anyone guess how many jokes are floating around the twitterverse about the creator of Bedroom Kandi singing a Gospel song?  It’s so easy I’m not even going to go there. Looks like we’ll be getting a lot more NeNe next week as the girls head off to LA. Episode total = -80!                    Season total = -278!

Chris Brown: Threatened By Gang Member Outside Club!

Everyone seems to have beef with Chris Brown these days. Drake is suing him after their brawl last year, Frank Ocean threw down with him in a parking lot, the D.A. alleges he didn’t do community service … so it goes. Now gang members are threatening him outside clubs ! As he left Playhouse Wednesday night – the same venue where Drake was denied entry because Chris was inside – he was confronted by some crazy dude. It’s unclear why the n-word, f-bomb throwing gangster was screaming at Brown, but he accused the star of being a crip and asked if his car was bulletproof. Chris drove away from the scene without any sort of physical altercation, but not before dropping a few f-bombs and n-bombs of his own back at the guy. When asked about the incident Friday outside his art studio, Rihanna ‘s boyfriend was uncharacteristically sanguine. “It’s L.A. brother,” he told TMZ. “You just gotta keep your head down and keep walking.” Words to live by. Not ones Chris Brown seems to abide by, given his history of being even-tempered and avoiding conflict, but words to live by just the same.
