Mary J. Blige & Trey Songz: "Hood Love" - HotNESS or HotMESS? (SM)

Franky Beverly or Joe: Who did it better?

Beyonce and Jay Z: HotNESS or HotMESS? (SM)

I really love Beyonce and Jay Z.  I love how they keep their personal business out the street and they seem to have done this celebrity marriage thing THE.RIGHT.WAY.

They dated and worked and worked and dated and then...they did the dang thing without the usual publicity whoring we've come to expect from celebrities.  Even as I wish we could have seen a picture of them on their wedding day (Cuz you KNOW Bey rocked it out...you just KNOW IT!) they make my heart smile.  I love love.

What say you?

Dear Alicia Keys:

Snicker, snicker!

Usher "Papers" - HotNESS or HotMESS? (SM)

Is this too far? I understand his success of "Confessions" would make him think this was a good idea but what do YOU think? Lyrics:

From SIP for SoJo:

Everything ain't meant for us to understand...

Dear Alicia...From Mashonda...

From what I understand, Alicia Keys' married boyfriend's wife sent her the following on Twitter yesterday and says she's going to resend everyday until Alicia Keys answers her.

What say you?

After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. I’ve never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I’ve reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.

I was a fan of AK’s last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.

Already I can hear some of you saying ” why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats broken”. Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.

My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.

If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create.
Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you would’ve handled things more carefully. I’m not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice. I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it now

This is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we don’t have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!

I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into what’s real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the “people”, this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well.

I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you don’t understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong.

If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because I’m not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised.

To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot.

Stay blessed and lets work this thing out with respect and dignity.

People are FUN-TAY!

What happened to Michel'le?

Pink + Shakira + Same Dress + Same Awards + Same Night

If I was an entertainer this ish would get someone STRAIGHT.FIRED.

Period.

What say you?  Who wore it best?

VMA Drama Fake?????????

I'm beginning to wonder if the Taylor Kayne Beyonce-gate was all manufactured.  I mean...folks seemed to be in the right place at exactly the right time ya know? 

1.  Kanye just showed up outta nowhere to do what he did when folks know good and well they gotta keep their good eye on him at award shows.

2.  How'd Beyonce know she'd win that one and have Taylor at the ready like that?

3.  They had on matchy matchy dresses all photo worthy and whatnot.

4.  MTV is known for hoodwinked ish like that.

5.  With reality shows being the norm these days...no way I don't believe producers wouldn't put this all together to have folks talking about this show.

What say you?  Am I grasping at straws?  Didn't you think it odd that dude called Jay Z and Beyonce were the most beautiful couple in the world?  Like they needed a lil extra even though both of them were performing?  

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I'm feeling like Malcolm X when his spidey senses started going off.

Beyonce Knowles-Carter = ONE.CLASS.ACT!

This is why I STAN for that chick! For her to give Taylor the opportunity to make her UNINTERRUPTED acceptance speech was OUT-FUGGIN-STANDING!

I LOVE ME SOME BEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KANYE WEST IS AN AZZ OF MAGNANIMOUS PROPORTIONS!

CONGRATS TAYLOR SWIFT ON YOUR WIN! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that AZZ during your acceptance. Oh...and you looked really nice! Dear Kanye: GO.SAT.DOWN!
