Sexy & Saved: Yolanda Adams Defends Curvy Gospel Singers And Says You Can’t Be Too Thick For God

Posted on December 26, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

Can you be sexy and saved?? Yolanda Adams Defends Curvy Gospel Singers Curvaceous members of the Christian community, including Meagan Good , the sisters of Mary Mary and Yolanda Adams, have all received criticism for their sexy style of dress, but Yolanda isn’t worried about pleasing the naysayers. Via S2S Mag report: “I know for a fact that Mary Mary—because I’ve known them for years—they don’t try to be sexual. Some of the things that they want to wear, they’re in style,” Yolanda told Think Positive Magazine. Erica Campbell, one half of the Mary Mary duo, recently came under fire for wearing a form-fitting white dress on the cover of her latest effort, “A Little More Jesus.” Many questioned whether the look was too sexy for someone spreading the Gospel. Despite what the critics thought, Erica told Essence.com that she loved the look, which made her feel “beautiful,” “confident” “sexy” and “strong.” “It’s wholesome,” Erica’s sister Tina told Essence.com about the garment that covered her sibling from neck to knee. “You see grace; you see beauty; you see elegance and style.” Yolanda said she and her counterparts want to be stylish, but they can’t do much to change their shapes. “I’m tall. I’m thin, but I have hips. A gown my graze me in a place where somebody may find it offensive, but it’s not sexual. That was not my intent. We can’t walk around with sheets on and moomoos. Then, they’ll talk about [that],” she said. “You have to take criticism with a grain of salt because you’re never going to please everybody.” Though critics might wonder whether the gospel stars and preachers’ wives are paying attention to what they put on, Yolanda, who has her own clothing line, assured that she’s very conscious about what she wears. “I’m very respectful in everything I wear,” said the Yolanda’s Closet designer. “I think about it.” As for Erica, whose controversial look also included sleek dark hair down to her waist, she reasoned that it’s good for young girls to know you can be saved and sexy. “This is about confidence and realizing that God made you and that you are beautiful just the way you are,” she told Essence.com. “I think that young girls shouldn’t only get sexy images from people who are not proclaiming Jesus…I’m cute, too.” Do you think Yolanda is right??

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap – The Claws Come Out

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills heads straight from the finale to the “Reunion” show with one Housewife glaringly absent. We recap who bailed and who had the best fake out in our THG +/- review The Housewives hit Andy’s couch so that must mean the season is over. But one Housewife didn’t show. Adrienne Maloof bailed and not just on the reunion show but on the entire series. Minus 15.   Too bad her final act as a Housewife was to no-show. I suppose it all became too much for her but Lisa was right. You don’t join a reality TV show if you have skeletons you don’t want exposed.  Fame comes at a price and it’s one Ms. Maloof seems unwilling to pay.   Minus 30 because the viewers are still the last to know what the big secret is and that’s nothing but frustrating.  What good is reality TV if we can’t dish the dirt? But on to the Housewives who did show up. Taylor’s looking as botoxed as ever. Did she borrow those lips from Daffy or Donald? Minus 12 . She’s looking more ridiculous every season. At least Taylor’s in love…with a married man…who lives in Colorado.  What could go wrong here? Adrienne may be out but Brandi is definitely in and she’s more than willing to say whatever’s on her mind but I’m guessing we’ll have more fun with that in part 2 than we did tonight. Best fake out of the night went to Andy. Plus 45 for perpetrating the rumor that Leann Rimes was the latest Housewife and then pretending she was about to be presented.  Very funny. Kyle and Lisa go at it once again. Minus 18 because this fight gets more boring every time I have to listen to it. Kyle feels that Lisa’s cut her off and Lisa believe Kyle never has her back. It’s time to go to your separate corners and move on. Just when I expected everyone to pile on Brandi, it was Yolanda who was under attack. First we see footage of Taylor saying that she feels like Yolanda thinks she’s better than her.  Plus 10 . Um…that’s because she is. Yolanda admits she never watched an episode of the show before she signed on.  Minus 15. Oh honey, that was just dumb. Information is power. Never turn it down. Then Kim goes after Yolanda over their supposed juice cleanse date. Only in Beverly Hills do women make a date to do a group cleanse. Minus 11 . It makes me glad I don’t live there. But the dates were made through production people, not directly between Kim and Yolanda. Problem solved…sort of. The funny part about Yolanda is that she can be just as direct as Brandi, she just says it more politely and with an accent. Plus 15. Yolanda and Kyle bicker over their definitions of friendship. Let’s face it. This is a reality show. Does anyone really expect these two to become best buddies? There’s lots of sniping about who came to whose parties and then Kyle throws Yolanda under the bus for calling out Lisa in Paris. To be honest I only remember Yolanda saying it was wrong of Lisa to continually talk about Kim, especially while Kim was sitting right there.  I don’t recall her really tearing Lisa apart. Minus 20 because Bravo didn’t show any of the footage to back it up. Andy claimed there’s more to life than dinner parties and suing friends in Beverly HIlls.   Yeah, there’s too much drinking and a lot of back stabbing too. The claws have definitely came out on the sofa. Can’t wait to see who else gets scratched in part 2. Episode total = -51!                     Season total =-297!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap – Searching For Sexy

Posted on January 22, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills like to pretend that “Home Is Where the Art Is” but it’s really where the spirits find their portals.  We recap who bought sexy mannequins and who channeled their inner 1980s dancer in our THG +/- review. We pick up at that abysmal group dinner with Mauricio still making an ass out of himself.  Minus 20 . Does Kyle invite Brandi to events just to watch other people yell at her?  I’m sensing a pattern here. In a shocking turn, Kyle actually asks her husband to stop making a scene.  Plus 11.   Now why couldn’t she have done that with Faye at that dinner party in her home? Plus 15 because Ken and Lisa finally come to Brandi’s defense.  No matter what the difference of opinion, attacking Brandi in public isn’t the way to handle it and it’s nice that someone at the table stood up to Mauricio. And when did Mauricio become such a drama queen? Minus 10 to Brandi for losing her cool.  If she could just hold her temper and not tell people to F-off when they deserve it, she could come off looking good in all of this. Instead Kyle, Mauricio, Kim, and Taylor toast as they bad mouth Brandi when she heads to the restroom.  Minus 13. Then, in the most pathetic move of the night, Mauricio tries to tell Brandi his attack was nothing personal.  Minus 22.  Seriously?  How mean could he have been if he really hated her? And in a move that’s become downright habitual, Taylor manages to make the whole incident about her.  Minus 11. I know I’m bored with Taylor. Apparently both Camille and Yolanda are tired of her antics as well. Speaking of Yolanda, Taylor snipes that she knows some dirt about her husband.  Minus 9 because she never says exactly what that is.  Either put up or shut up Taylor. Yolanda certainly doesn’t look like she’s worried about anything Taylor has to say.  She’s off decorating mansions in her spare time for her ex-husband Mohamed.   Over at Kim’s, she’s called in a psychic for her ghostly activity.  Yup, there are spirits roaming her home and she wants psychic Rebecca’s help to get to know them better.  Plus 12. Rebecca’s full of helpful information.  There’s some strange woman’s spirit sitting on the end of Kim’s bed and a bunch of future grandchildren running around.  No, you can’t see them, but trust me. They’re there and they make Kim feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Or perhaps that’s the hearts she sees dancing in her fireplace.  Has Kim been drinking again?  No, Rebecca assures her that’s simply a spiritual portal she’s witnessing.  Who knew Kim had such vision? Paul and Adrienne come out of hiding once more.  Apparently Brandi’s big revelation was so upsetting they ran to New York to get away.   Minus 20 .  If they aren’t going to tell the audience what the secret that won’t be named is, I wish they’d all stop talking about it.  It’s gotten boring. I also wish Kyle would stop pretending to be Brandi’s friend when she’s obviously not.  She’ll side with Paul and Adrienne at every turn.  With Brandi, she’s nothing but passive aggressive no matter how much she laments being caught in the middle of this feud.  Minus 18. And can someone tell Kyle to buy longer matches or have an automatic igniter installed in that fireplace before she sets herself or the house ablaze? But Kyle’s got big plans.  She’s opening up a new retail store with mean girl buddy, Faye and they head off to admire the boob jobs of mannequins.  Minus 15 . It was kind of creepy to watch them feel up plastic women. All of the ladies head to Daniel Maltzman’s gallery opening where Yolanda haggles to get a deal on a painting and Ken hangs out with the women from the Amazon. You have to love that Ken can laugh at himself.  Plus 14 when he looks at the photo and asks, “Who’s that bloody midget in the middle?” Kyle’s in attendance and wearing an outfit that makes her look like she just walked out of a 1980s music video.  Minus 25 . The woman has to hire a better stylist.  The headband alone had me seeing flashbacks. Then she hooks up with Paris Hilton.  Apparently they’re related.  That explains so much. Brandi’s trying hard to make friends, or at least mend fences.  She invites the ladies to her stripper pole party.  She’s going to be giving classes on getting your sexy back.  Plus 21 . I wouldn’t miss that for the world. And then Brandi invites the ladies to Vegas. What could possibly go wrong there? Episode total = -50!                                 Season total = -316!
