Ok first. I am so glad that for the next four years we are going to be seeing cute outfits (Maria Pinto a Chicago designer did the above dress). No more denim two piece suits for America!!!
Second, Michelle knows soooo much more than the Dewey Decimal system.
Michelle's speech was AMAZING. Nothing is more convincing then honesty. Michelle has lived on both sides. She has worked hard to achieve her status and education. She is a women, she is Black, she is a mother, she is a wife and she is a professional. Her perspective is so valuable to our country.
I enjoyed her letting us know who SHE is. Who her husband is and why they are the couple that they are and what their similarities and beliefs are.
Sooo week one definetly sucked me in. I can't lie Spencer keeps things interesting, being that rude actually takes some thought. And Audrina shut LO down. For a moment (just a brief one) I saw a personality emerge.
Anyways, onto this week...please alert me when Doug says anything of substance. But then again LC hasn't said anything worth repeating for 4 seasons so with those similarities I see a marriage in the near future.
LO needs to go ahead and run her mouth to Audrina's face and not in the safety of the car. She also would have gotten kicked off of Shear Genius with that crazy bang she was rockin. And red lipstick is not for EVERYONE.
Anyways the set-up is getting better and better beacuse we all know that Stephanie is going to be friendless at the end of the season. All I ask is that MTV fire some of the editors. Is Whitney really still relevant? Why did I need to see her take a sip of wine. Get it together.
For those of us who need to brush up on our "scheme, scheme, plot, plot" or if you need a little help thinking outside of the box when you get dressed in the morning Gossip Girl will be back starting Monday.
The thing about a blog is I can nicely point back to the past and let you know that I called something way back.
Per the usual things aren't looking so good for the Skins.
First, the "golden boy" Jason Taylor is going to be rockin' the nice warm up for the season opener next Thursday.
Second, I am still trying to figure out how one can get injured in a game when your team doesn't even score a touchdown.
I am also trying to figure out how Jim Zorn could form his lips to say he doesn't know what happened beacause he hasn't watched the tape yet. Ummmm it is clear to anyone who watched that disaster that you got MOLLYWOPPED!!!
Statitistics show that the murder rate is DC goes down when the Skins are winning. I'm about to go pick up a Kevlar.
I am sipping some rum based drinks in a tropical spot for a few days so I can't say I will be up on the happenings. However I am sure some extraness WILL go down so check back to see what's going on.
Ten years ago I was munching on popcorn sipping a Sprite and laughing when it turned out that Cameron Diaz was referring to Brett Far-ver-ah as the "Brett" she was dating in Something About Mary.
This was Brett in his heyday.
Now I watch football on the regular, and I must say Brett was definetly making it happen in the 07-08 season. But come on, IT'S F-IN FREEZIN in Green Bay, you def had some advantage boo.
I have already run into one New Yorker asking me "How am I liking THEIR Jets right now?" Please make room on the bandwagon.
I like Brett so I want to see this turn out well for him. He could be the Dara Torres of football. It would make for a really good story.
But...Brett already pitched a fit and he's in NEW YORK. This is NOT the Midwest. These people have nothing better to do then scrutinize you. Bring your A game or go home. I just don't think he can handle the pressure and he's old. Take a seat next to McCain honey.
A-Rod can breathe a sigh of relief, the New York Post sportswriters are going to have a field day with this one.
First of all, I WANT to like you. I want to be supportive of a successful black women who serves as a role model for other black females and you are stacking that $ ALL on your own. However...It is time for me to go ahead and stop biting my tounge.
1) You are a hater
Tyra decided that the month that Beyonce's cover dropped was the perfect time to remind us what an IMPORTANT figure she was in Black History. Ummm negative. Please take a seat.
2) You are the Diddy of Modeling
Just like those poor souls on Making the Band, Tyra likes to ride the wave of each season of America's Next Top Model then quickly forget about the winners when it is no longer of benefit to her. I just don't understand there being like 7 seasons of a show where no one actually becomes a "top model"
3) I believe Karrine
Now I have never picked up a book by Karrine "superhead" Stephens. But I do know one thing. She has never to MY knowledge been sucessfully sued for defamation. So I take a lot of the things she says to be true. Including this little tidbit about Tyra Banks:
PR.com: In The Vixen Diaries you talked about your experiences doing the press tour for Confessions of a Video Vixen. You mentioned Tyra Banks being a hypocrite and you described her as being a female “male chauvinist,” and said that she turned on you during the interview. What did you feel that she did that was unfair, for people who didn’t see it?
Karrine Steffans: To make a very long tragic story short, when someone who is really not that different from you privately, but is publicly different from you, takes a public high road, then at some point it’s just disgusting. I think that Tyra was new in her job. We filmed my show before her first show ever aired. So, it was two months before she even hit the airwaves, so she was very new at her job. I don’t think that she understood, in her newness, how to be objective while doing the interview and not letting her personal feelings get in the way of being a talk show host, like her mentor which would be Oprah. Having been on Oprah and everyone else, it gave me a chance to see, “Ok. This is how you do it right and this is how you totally fuck it up.” And Tyra totally fucked it up. But she was new. So, I’m going to give her that credit. Maybe she didn’t know or understand, or maybe she’s just a giant bitch.
I mean why did Tyra get all besides herself with Karrine if there wasn't some truth to what she was saying? I mean I do remember wondering what the heck she was doing in Higher Learning. Came to find out she was dating John Singleton...hmmm
Anyways you can agree or you can disagree. Shoot Tyra might be what Beyonce and Rihanna are to me (Your fave celeb hottie!)
But one thing is FO SHO. She should have NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER felt herself enough to do this little spread in Harper's Bazaar. I appreciate fashion and claps to the people who came up with the concept for this shoot. I mean THIS IS about to be how the Oval Office is looking in a few short months. But...
A) We could have just waited for Michelle to go ahead and handle this herself.
B) I'm not mad at this little cutie for portrayin Barack, he's trying to eat and he doesn't know any better. But Tyra, when they pitched this to you, you should have pushed your ego aside and DECLINED.
Umm John McCain needs to sit down right next to Hilary. There's a nice seat warmed up for you. His campaign manager is currently running around accusing Obama of being a "celebrity" as well as playing the "race card".
Rick Davis McCain's campaign manager is explaining away in the clip below. This word isn't really in my vocabulary but this is some HATER ish. On top of that he gets a little besides himself and rude which is totally unneccessary and shows a lack of self-control. But don't worry Andrea CLEARLY gets the last word. It IS her show.
On the other hand McCain needs to be thankful for Rick Davis. Because he is most certainly deaf and apparently suffers from some kind of aphasia. Check out this smooth move.
Now above we all heard him say he voted FOR a state holiday for MLK Day. However, Johnny Boy had to "learn" who Martin Luther King Jr. WAS in order to make this important decision. Being in the military and running for Congress had him under a rock. He wasn't quiet aware of Mr. King's legacy as late as 1983. WOOOOOW!! Please sit the hell down John. And I'd advise you to take a seat before watching this. He gets a little bit hot under the collar too. I guess it's frustrating to not have a chance in hell of becoming the President of the United States.
Shwayze. Week 2 and I still love you. Why? You play your part as "Token Black guy" O so well. I respect that. There have only been two episodes and you are THAT dude.
1) You are CLEARLY broke and moochin' off of your millionaire heir BFF
2) Whenever you get money, you spend it on reckless things..women, booze, hotel rooms..refreshingly typical
3) You have a boot on your Mercedes and cannot afford to get it out of the impound
4) You have trouble with the law, try to NOT to go to court, finally appear in court and get sentenced to community service
5) And of course you STAY on CP time in manner that threatens the $ that you so desperately need to make
Where does one begin? First of all they almost lost me with a 4 minute long shampoo commercial. Is this really neccessary?
Ummm Fructis Flow? Code Green? Bootleg Pussycat Dolls? Pink slips to the Marketing department STAT!!!
Luckily, I am a patient person and made it to minute 3 of the worst commercial EVER...because we totally get 16 bars from MEMPHIS BLEEK!!! WOW. Clearly Beyonce has Jay Z forgetting to help his boys out. SMH
