Long hair don’t care… But how bad is it that many folks assume that being mixed is a recipe for “good hair” ? The reason we ask is that we read a lengthy interview with our boo thang Elle Varner from the November issue of Sister2Sister magazine where publisher Jamie Foster Brown grills Elle about where she got her thick natural hair and starts quizzing her about her gene pool. Via the print edition of S2S : Jamie: Okay, what about that hair? Where did you get that hair from? Elle: My hair is my hair, you know? I’m Cape Verdean and Black. Jamie: But who in the family has hair like that? Does your mom have a lot of hair? Elle: My dad’s hair is thick and long, and, like, longer than mine. It’s crazy. My dad has so much hair. Jamie: He’s got long hair too? Is he mixed or anything? Elle: Yeah, he’s half Black, half Swedish. Did that offend you at all? Or did it sound like perfectly normal questions? The reason we ask is that Melanie Fiona was reamed this summer for remarks she made in an interview she did this June/July with a “black hair” magazine. Here’s the troublesome quote from the Sophisticate’s Black Hair Styles and Care Guide interview via Longing4Length.com : SBH:What’s the secret to your gorgeous long hair? Melanie Fiona: I was born with a full head of hair, and my mom wouldn’t let me cut it until I was 12! I’m mixed – my mom is Black and Portuguese and my dad is Indian so I have a good mix for growth . Elle’s answer isn’t much different from Melanie’s — the response is that their hair texture is a gene pool thing. But many folks took offense to what Melanie had to say because she chose the words “good mix for growth” but Elle’s answer implies almost the same thing. So what’s really the difference? And does it even matter? Let’s be honest, you don’t have to be “mixed” to have good hair. There are plenty of full black women with healthy heads of thick, long, natural hair. So do we all need to be re-educated about this topic? Regardless, the “exotic” girls seem to always have the most success in the entertainment business, so is this just a touchy topic for black women? Please discuss! WENN

It was 4am and Adam didn’t answer… Melanie Fiona has parted ways with her boyfriend, “CSI:Miami‘s” Adam Rodriguez. The couple quietly dated for three years and he’s allegedly influenced most of the heartbreak material on Melanie’s new album ‘The MF Life‘: Last month, during Melanie’s interview with the Breakfast Club, Angela Yee referenced Melanie’s heartbreak songs and asked, “What Happened to You?” Melanie responded: The same thing that happened to you and the girl down the street. Love somebody. He’s not a good dude. Shows you one side of him, gets comfortable and starts going back to his old ways. He doesn’t want to admit that he’s possibly ready to be the man he presented himself to be but kind of wants to string you along. By that time, you’re already fully engulfed in love and you’re doing all these foolish things for love. Pretty much, you just get to that point where you are so in love with somebody that you are just willing to accept all of the things that they do to you. It’s really not okay and I know that I consider myself to be a strong intelligent woman. So when emotions get the best of you, it’s really hard to break that cycle but when you do, then you got to find strength in it and put it in music. You let other people know that you’re not immune to it. Asked about her breaking point in a relationship, she responded: The minute I don’t feel like I’m respected as an equal in that relationship. That’s a wrap. D for DONE! Well damn! Tell ‘em why you mad. According to the NY Post, Adam Rodriguez is very aware of her heartbreak songs but there is no way they could be about him. A rep tells them: Adam knows about all of those songs, but they were written months ago — they were very happy together. We’re sure a lot of fellas are happy Melanie’s little soulful cakes are back on the market. Want to know if Melanie bashes her ex- boo thang on her new album?
