For just over three minutes on Saturday morning, TV talk show host Montel Williams owned the hosts of Fox and Friends. A former Marine and Naval officer, Montel lectured the stunned hosts on the stupidity of spending air time on the death of Heath Ledger, rather than covering the war in Iraq. It was a spectacle rarely seen on live cable television, as Montel exposed and condemned both tabloid "news" shows and much of American culture for what they have each become: shallow and greedy.
Three minutes into this awkward segment on Fox, one host cut off Montel in order to go to a commercial. Montel did not return after the break. Four days later, after 17 years as a television host, Montel lost his job.

Janelle Monae: Same Style STAR?!?!?!?!

Janelle Monae in October and then in August
Janelle Monae definitely has her own style going on. There is no denying that at all in my book. The only issue I have with her style is that it's so unique that she NEVER SWITCHES IT UP!!!!!!!!! Back in October at Howard's Homecoming, we saw Janelle rock this same black and white jacket and in August at ATL New Era Flagship store, she switched up the top but her shoes remained!!!!!!! So you can imagine my astonishment when I was site-seeing over at Concreteloop today and saw THE SAME HOWARD HOMECOMING OUTFIT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! Janelle was performing at something with some other people, I didn't even care enough to pay that much attention. Clearly, SHE NEEDS MORE CLOTHES!!!!!!!

Photo of the Day: Chris Brown

Did anyone ever notice that Chris Brown's skin is that bad?!?!?!?!?! Someone please get that boy an endorsement from Pro-Active ASAP!!!!!!!! Maybe THAT'S why he didn't want to meet and greet his little fans. His pepperoni face wasn't presentable in the daytime so he had to wait to get in the low, dim light of a nightclub!!!!!

Chris Brown, Bow Wow, and Souljah Boy PLAY COLUMBUS?!?!?!?

I received an email from one of my hometown friends this morning that shows that some of these little artists' egos are beginning to be a bit much. First Keyshia Cole didn't perform in Columbus, GA during the R. Kelly tour, then she CANCELLED her concert one day before she was supposed to perform in Columbus, Ohio and now Bow Wow, Chris Brown, and Souljah Boy are acting like they can't show the CO no love. To make it worst, Bow Wow is from a little suburb in Columbus called Reynoldsburg, Ohio!!!!! DAMN SHAME!!!! Read On:
Razzi,
station upset because their daughters were mad because the didn't get to
meet the mega-stars! To make matters worse Bow Wow didn't even come to the radio
station to support his fans in his own home town. They were saying that
they play his music all the time and show him support and he couldn't do
the same for OHIO.
noon to show them his dance and his people called at 1:20pm and said he
wasn't going to be able to make it.
and greet but they showed up at Club ICE and stayed for an hour and
posed for pictures.... but they couldn't meet there little fans... Bow Wow wears that jacket and shirts that say "614" acting like he reps for Columbus and the 614 area code but his actions show different. He claims to be the Prince of Ohio but he acted more like a joker last night!!!!!! ~Your 614 Homegirl

Before the lights came up, the 20-year-old, born Shad Moss, reminded everyone that even though he lives in suburban Atlanta, Columbus is still dear to his hip-hop heart: "Look here," he said, "I don't care what the haters say. I got the 6-1-4 tattooed on my arm! I'm Ohio to the death! I'm Columbus to the death! Don't never forget it!" (source)

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Trina in S2S..................
So The Baddest B*TCH TRINA is on the latest cover of Sister 2 Sister Magazine!!!!!! Here is a little bit of what Trina had to say about regaining control over her life and coping after losing Lil Wayne, who she thought was her soulmate:

Yeah, Trina. A bad relationship can make you lose all of your thickness, wear the same high-waist pants 3 times in one month, throw on bad lace-fronts but think you are rocking the hell out of them, etc etc etc!!!!!! If what Weezy is working with is that damaging that this chick is acting like a part of her is dead, I DON'T EVEN WANT NONE OF THAT!!!!!!!! Here are a couple other little WTF snippets from here interview, where she discusses how sexy she is, her booty, why she wouldn't pose nude, and other random ish:
Calvin: ................do you have any trepidation about posing nude?
....... Oh, really, Trina. What you meant to say is "That is NO LONGER MY LINE OR PROFESSION". Maybe she forgot about THIS RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!!
She also has a new song on her album where she talks about men in the industry with BIG OL' D's......funny how she left out Lil Wayne's name!!!!!!!! Read on:
Trina: No, no! I was watching videos on BET one day and it was the "Big Ol' Butt" song. Like "Tina got a big ol' butt." That was funny to me because when you look at today's videos and the videos back in the day, it's like wow!?it's a whole different day and time. So the videos are a hundred percent better. I didn't want to do "Big Ol' Butt" because I did "Pull Over" and that's representing the same thing. So I decided, why don't I go "John Doe got a big ol'?," you know? So it wasn't really supposed to be a person's name. It was really supposed to be like blank names like Jimmy, Bob, whoever. But then that was really kind of boring. When we were in the studio, the vibe was really strong. I had my friends and a couple of people in the studio with me and it was like, "Why don't we make it more interesting? Let's use names. Let's be specific!" because everybody is going to be like "wow, did you hear that song?" I decided to use hip-hop males because I'm a hip-hop female. I wrote a list of all the guys that are male rappers and out of that list I was like, to be fair, I'm gonna just go with like the pioneers of the game?the guys that are really holding it down and have really did their thing and that are real strong. That's how I chose to use the names like a Nelly or a Jay-Z, a Ludacris or a Baby and Puffy. All these different names I got them because I feel like they are like the strength of the hip-hop game.
Calvin: Are you concerned that some people will take you literally and assume that you've been with all these men?
Trina: I don't care if they say that because I know that I didn't. I mean we're cool. We're friends. I thought it was just humorous and I just wanted to be creative about it. It wasn't a personal issue or who got the big ol'...whatever. It's just about putting the song together and making it fit with whoever's name that I decided to use. I threw in the extra names on the end to make it even out?like Snoop, Busta Rhymes and just the different guys just to make it be like a balance to the song. When I first did it I was like "ooh" to myself. I was laughing like I don't know if I should keep the names. Then I was like "What the hell. I'm keeping it."
Calvin: Here's your official disclaimer: This is not personal experience. This is your creativity at work.

You Know Things Are Getting Bad in TV Land.....................
When Mike Vick's DOGS get a reality show!!!!!!! You heard me correct- The National Geographic Channel is currently filming a new reality show that will follow the rehabilitation of the pit bulls that once belonged to Mike Vick. "Dogtown", the title of the new reality series, will be following 4 of the 22 animals rescued from Vick's Virginia home. They are currently being rehabilitated at "Dogtown, The Best Friends" facility located in Utah. The 4 animals selected are some of the most aggressive and toughest cases in Dogtown, so they say!!!!!! The show will debut in the summer.

I sure hope the revenue that is generated from this show is put into the care and rehab of thses animals and not into the pockets of the greddy reality show hounds in Hollywood. THEY are the real pitbulls. I'm sure whatever money is raised still won't reduce the amount Mike Vick has been ordered to pay to help rehab the dogs. For more info on the series, click HERE!!!!

CHING-A-LING Goes 3-D!!!!!!!
"This is truly historic," says director Dave Meyers. "People have talked about and tried to make it happen before, but no one has ever set out to purposefully create a 3D music video and then actually made it happen. Once again, Missy and I are happily and comfortably in uncharted territory!"
In addition to its groundbreaking 3D effects, "East meets East" as the dancers from the "Ching-A-Ling" video, dressed in colorful Harajuku street style, combine a hint of Indian influenced Bollywood-style movement with the logic-defying time-and-space warping stop motion dance style of the Woomin Crew from Japan. "You’ve gotta see these kids with your own eyes to believe it," says Elliott, who discovered Woomin while surfing the internet. "My inspiration comes from all over the world and this video really showcases that."
MTV will premiere the 3D version of the "Ching-A-Ling" video on Monday, February 4th live on MTV "TRL" at 3:30PM. BET will premiere a 2D version on 2/4 @ 6:30PM on "106th & Park," and the 3D version later that evening on the channel. In addition, MTV.com will be airing both 3D & 2D versions of the video all day on 2/4. The glasses needed to view the 3D effects will be available via FYE stores nationwide, at select adidas stores, and via radio giveaways in various cities hosting STEP UP 2 movie screenings. For more 3D glasses distribution locations, please visit www.missy-elliott.com or www.myspace.com/missyelliott

Cause of Pimp C's Death Still Undetermined
"We are not releasing any preliminary information at this time," operations chief Craig Harvey told AllHipHop.com. "We're still conducting a series of tests. Once the test results are complete, then we will be in a position where we'll be releasing a final cause of death."
Security staff at the Mondrian Hotel found Pimp C dead in his room on Dec. 4, one day after the 33-year-old rapper's family and friends say he was scheduled to check out.
The artist, whose real name is Chad Butler, appeared to have died of natural causes, officials said at the time. No drugs or drug paraphernalia was present in the room.
Harvey said that the test results should be ready within the next 10-15 days, reports allhiphop.com.

Well, I sure do hope Kelly doesn't use her success , or lack there of, to fuel her ego or she would suffer badly from LSE (low self esteem). If she based her thoughts about herself on album sales, that chick would be straight BRITNEY STATUS!!!!!! Poor, Kelly. Maybe she should've just gotten married to the football player. Things just haven't been right for her since then..................

I Bet SNOOP Has One In His House!!!!
"Somebody owns (it), it's on a property and somebody fills it," said DEA Special Agent Jose Martinez. "Once we find out where it's at, we'll look into it and see if they're violating laws."
At least three dispensaries in the city, including two belonging to Mehdizadeh, have installed vending machines to distribute the drug to people who carry cards authorizing marijuana use.Mehdizadeh said he spent seven months to develop and patent the black, armored box, which he calls the "PVM," or prescription vending machine.A sliding fence protects the tinted windows of his dispensary, barely distinguishing it from a busy thoroughfare of strip malls, automobile dealers and furniture shops. A box resembling a large refrigerator stands inside the nearly empty shop, near a few shelves stocked with vitamins and herbs.The computerized machine requires fingerprint identification and a prepaid card with a magnetic stripe. Once the card and fingerprint are verified, a bright green envelope with the pot drops down a slot.Mehdizadeh says any user approved for medical marijuana and registered in a computer database at his dispensaries can pre-purchase the drug and then use the machine to pick up.
Mehdizadeh said he sought the advice of doctors, and decided to limit the amount of marijuana per user to an ounce per week. Each purchase from the machine yields 1/8th or 2/8th of an ounce. By eliminating a vendor behind the counter, he said, the machine offers users lower drug prices. The 1/8th ounce packet would cost about $40 — $20 lower than the average price at other dispensaries.

Cuttin' Up
So, I'm listening to V-103 this morning and the question the posed was "Can a Cut Buddie Ever Turn Into More"? They had played a clip from something called GIA TV from Youtube (I've never watched) and this is a synopsis of a few of the rules she had listed:
Rules to Being A Cut Buddie
1) Don't cuddle with your cut buddie
2) Know what you are coming over for. Don't try to watch cable or have small talk.
3) 4 Places a buddie should see in your house
hallway
bedroom
bathroom
THE DOOR!!!!!
4) Don't go in my fridge. You don't have to be hospitable to a cut buddie
Alot of women were calling in saying that they had married their "cut buddie". I'm on the fence with this one. I'm sure we all have had a cut buddie and, as women, it's sometimes harder for us because we tend to get feelings involved when it comes to sex. It's more difficult for us to seperate the two.
Personally, I have had the same cut buddie for the past 3 years. I kind of keep him in my "side-pocket". If I'm not in a relationship or seeing anyone, he's there to satisfy whatever urge or need I may have. When I am in a relationship, we still talk on the phone and communicate. I talk to him about my boyfriends and honesty we talk about everything under the sun. He is like one of my closest friends- but we both know our place in each others lives.
Out of town, after the club, if I take a day off from work- that's my cut-buddie time. If we see each other in the club, we may speak briefly but we both keep it moving. Only his closest friend knows what it is between he and I and only my very, very close homegirls know. I've never been to his house and he has never been to mine. He JUST RECENTLY (like earlier this week) found out where I work at, and this is after 3 years!!!!!!! We keep things real surface so that they will never become deeper. I enjoy my "cut-buddieship"!!!! It's so easy going. If I don't answer my phone, there's no "Where were you at? Why you didn't answer my call?". I'm not obligated to see him or go out on dates with him and vice versa. I don't expect much from him so, in return I don't get my feelings hurt because there is no expectation for him to meet.

My 4 Rules For A Cut Buddie Are a Bit Different:

"Jungle Fever" Fashions!!!!

It looks like the black and white color combinations are still going to be doing their thing this spring. We will begin to see more "thighs and legs" this season as women move away from denim jeans and experiment more with flirty, spring mini dresses. With the high-waist still making a big impression on the urban fashion world, you will also being to see more pencil skirts and the "Victorian" ruffled shirt look. Here are just a few inexpensive examples I found while web-browsing today. I also included a couple pairs of fly black and white combo shoes!!!!

Maybe It's Her Big _________________?!?!?!
I don't know aboutmy fellow ladies, but I have recently found an undeniable LOVE and INFATUATION for rapper turned actor Common. Maybe it's the bald head or the freckles or just how powerful the message in his music is. Recently, Common has spread himself all over Hollywood being linked to various ladies- Keri Washington, Kim Kardashian, and now Serena Williams. Serena has had a couple "hot catches" this year. Jackie Long is a fine, chocolate brother with a smile that melts my heart. So I asked the question- What Is It About Serena?.........

Preg or Pudge?!?!?!
Nicole Ari-Parker and her super fine husband Boris Kudjoe attended the premiere of "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins" last night out in Los An-jealous. Did I miss the memo? Is Nicole preg again?!?!?! I know if I slept in the same bed next to Boris each night, I'd keep a new baby every 40 weeks too!!!!! LOL!!!!! If she isn't preggers, she needs to not EVER forget her SPANX!!!!!!! She may also want to invest in the Squeem Brazilian Cincher if she needs help losing some of that old baby fat!!!!!! You decide for yourself- PREG or PUDGE?

The SAG Awards Style

Marcia Cross has never really been on my style radar until last night, but she was gorgeous. As a former redhead, I'm loving her color-very rich.I believe she just had TWINS but you can't tell at all. She was also surprisingly very tall. I'm 6'1 or 6'2 with heels on and we were eye-to-eye. I loved the fabric of the dress and the color was striking against her pale skin and red-orange hair. Her coral-pink bracelet was to die for! Loved it.
Honorable mention goes to Kate Beckinsale because I loved the color of her dress. She had a slight hair malfunction last nite I was able to help her with and she was soooo nice. I'm not familiar with her work, but I loved her energy, so she goes on my list.
Another Honorable Mention goes to America Ferrera because she was so cute and person, unlike her "Ugly Betty" character. I thought she was going to be down with the big girls club, but no. I don't know what the media is talking about, calling her curvy, because she's tiny. She maybe wears a 5/6 at the most? Her skin looked very fresh and young. It's not my favorite dress or color but something about her caught my eye so she stays.
Worst: 
Jane Krakowski, this looks like a bowl of pea soup barf with mentos and skittles floating at the top.
Chandra Wilson....I want you to rep for the big girls club so bad!!! But this $5 Dreamgirls throwback wig and lack of "Spanx" on the red carpet is not going to cut it! And are your toes dragging outta the front of those shoes, cutting up the carpet? Try again, we're all counting on you. 


I wanted to love Vanessa Williams, but I just couldn't. She scared me. Her skin looked so badly sun damaged and burnt. Her hair is the same color as her face. And her face looked so tightly nipped and tucked back, this is all I could think of:

And please name one show you have seen Anne Marie Johnson on since "In The Heat of the Night" (1988). This is called "desperately trying to stay relevant" people. Please invest your heyday money and retire gracefully. Look at her "the fans still love me" pose! And peep the suede Payless pumps she copped from the set of "Strictly Business" in the early 90's. I guess since BET has been playing the movie, she felt she was hott again and needed to hit the red carpet! I think not!
