CelebTV: GOSSIP! GOSSIP! GOSSIP!

I met a stranger who reads the blog in an airport recently and we got to talking. She told me how much she enjoys the blog and I asked her a few questions about why she doesn't comment.  She says that she never comments on blogs or websites she reads but if there was one she would comment on it would be mine because it's her favorite as far as real life goes.

Then she asked me why I didn't do much gossip cuz if I did that...she'd have her complete fix.  LOL!

So I told her that I don't watch reality television shows so I don't really have much to say about them.  Every now and then I'll say something based on the comments from my timeline and I go check out what they are talking about...but not much.  She then said...too bad I didn't watch them because commentary from SIP regarding would probably be funny as hell!

Prolly so bruh...prolly so.

I was talking to The Robinator about it and he said hey...what if we could find someone to do the gossip stuff for you and well...that made perfect sense to me.  Give the people what they want right?

Right.

So...yall know me...I like to take things a notch up so we decided to find out how to bring the good gossip to you in the classiest way possible so yeah...today...we introduce you to CelebTV!

Dave Koz and Sheila E!!!!!!!!!!

Last night The Robinator surprised me with tickets to see the Dave Koz Holiday Jazz Tour with Sheila E and friends!

DAVE KOZ AND FRIENDS CHRISTMAS 2012 
with Special Guests: David Benoit, Sheila E., Javier Colon and introducing Margo Rey 

Yall...it was soooooooooooooooooooooo good!

Sheila E. is still amazing and the entire concert was really very good!  I've got to say that it's one of the best concerts I've been to in a long, long time!  

I loved it because Robby found it and decided on it all on his own knowing how much I love me some Sheila E.  He bought the tickets, made the dinner reservations and simply told me what time to be ready.

I didn't get cussed out for running late but only because twenty minutes before heading out, while fully dressed, I hit my big toe on the dresser in our bedroom and cracked the nail all the way down past the bleeding point.

It was BAD.

It IS bad.

We clipped it off, put Neosporin on it and a bandaid and rolled out anyway.  Robby was like...can we go?  Are you sure?  

Me:  I'm sure.  Just don't let me see the blood and I'm good.  If I see the blood however...well...um...erra...

So we rolled out.  WHOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If you get a chance to see this please go!  You won't regret it!

 

GIVE ME THE KEYS BACK BABY!

 

If you're my age...I DARE you to listen to this song not sing out loud.  LOL!  This came on last night while Robby and I were in the trick and we were straight up singing at the top of our lungs.  LOLOLOLOL!

Happy Spurts

 

I made a transformation in my life from being mad at the world to being the me I love being today in the midst of a storm.  Turns out it was the midst of several storms actually.  Thunderstorms which hadn't fully stopped raining.  Winds that were still blowing debris in my path which I simply chose to step over and ignore not realizing I'd have to deal with one day in order to see the sunshine.

I used to be a roamer.  Like...I loved to get in my car and drive at odd hours of the night on a long winding road with nothing but the darkness and music.  I'd drive much faster than I should drive hoping, wishing, praying that my painful memories would be left behind.  Her smile, his laughter, her laughter, his smile.  Their love.  Our tragedy.  

And I'd drive faster, seemingly, without a care in the world and I never, ever, out drove the pain.

No matter how much I tried.

No matter how much I cried.

Alone in my own head.

Ciara: "Sorry"

 

 

Is it just me or does Ciara not look like Ciara? I had to watch the entire video to see who it was. I was like...I think it's her...but...

Heather Headley: Only One In the World

I love me some Heather Headley.  Yessir!  I got up this morning excited because I'd pre-ordered her new album, Only One In the World, and I'm sitting in my office now on my second listen.  Her music is one of a woman in love and happy.  Secure and living her true life.  I find it inspiring and daydream worthy.

Grown folks' music. 

Are YOU a fan of Heather Headley?  If you get the chance to see her in person...DO SO!  I saw her in 2006 and she stole the show!  Loving Life!

Charice - "Note to God"

My CURRENT treadmill playlist.

What's on YOUR cardio playlist currently?  How often do you change it?

I fucked up cuz I'm fucked up...

 

Play me while reading the following:

"Whatever.  I don't care."

"I don't believe you."

"I don't care what you believe.  I can't give you the power to hurt me again."

"I know.  And I'm so sorry.  I'm not proud of what I did but you have to understand, you told me you no longer loved me, no longer wanted to be with me and well...that fucked me up.  I was so hurt, so very, very hurt and the only thing I could think was that, you know what?  Other women want me.  So what that she doesn't.  And the only thing I was thinking when I was with her was that I should punish her for not being you and I fucked her.  Hard.  And I rolled away feeling emptier than I've ever felt in my life.  I felt lost.  Like...I'd never have the life I wanted.  I'd never have what my parents had because I was fucked up and have been since my father died and I lay there and thought of nothing but what I needed to do in order to get you back so I could FEEL again so when you walked in, and saw me at the lowest point of my life...truly...unbelievably...I wanted to die.  I know I fucked up.  I know I'm fucked up.  I know more than you think I know cuz I know that I've never been more alive than I was when I was with you.  I miss you so much.  I miss the possibilities.  I miss every.single.thing about you.  Please forgive me.  Or...at least try. Please."

He stood there begging, pleading with every fiber of his being and through her tears she watched him, chest heaving, mad as hell at the hurt he caused her.  The DEVASTATION she experienced finding him in bed with another woman only a day after they'd broken up. 

She closed her eyes.

Took a deep breath.

Open her mouth and said...

Amber Riley - "Glee" - "I Will Always Love You"

CHILLS.

Wendy Williams on Ms. Houston

What say you?

Ms. Houston...Isolated

Celine Dion on Ms. Houston

Everyone has been giving tributes to Ms. Houston since she left us on Saturday.

Nice, sweet, tributes.

This morning on GMA...Celine Dion went OFF.

She basically was pissed off because, in her words, Ms. Houston put drugs over being a mother, over love for her family, over her career.

She went on to say that people taking drugs to go to sleep, drugs to wake up, drugs to relax, drugs for this that and the other is crazy.  She said it's why she is scared of "show business" and why she stays away from it.  She says that your life should be about family and love and that's what she tries so hard to make hers about.  She pointed out that this isn't the first time it's happened and won't be the last and people really need to stop messing with drugs and don't put show business above your family and love.

Celine seriously went OFF!

What say you?

Too much truth too soon?

Was it insensitive?
