Funny? - Sean Combs in DowNton Abbey

Downton Diddy from Sean Combs

 

Do YOU think it's funny?

Is Olivia Pope a Sidepiece?

And as for Olivia Pope being a sidepiece?

“I think that’s debatable. I don’t like the expression sidepiece because I think when you call a woman a ‘piece,’ it objectifies her. But I think also: the president has said to her ‘I will leave my wife or you’ and she said no. Is she a sidepiece or is she just somebody who’s afraid to be all in? I don’t know. Only Shonda Rhimes knows!”

From:  Kerry Washington Launches Debate: Is Olivia Pope A Sidepiece?

 

Scandal: Who is the MOLE?????

I'm sitting here after taking my second shower of the morning.  I didn't plan on taking two showers mind you...but it became necessary.

*sigh*

"Scandal" Live Blogging!

This is where I'll be watching "Scandal" tonight.  Yup.  Live blogging.  Haven't done this in a mad minute!  LOL!  

When Harry Kissed Charlotte

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!  

Just click on the link up top and well done videos (by a third party) are there for you to check out at your leisure.  

Let me know what yall think.  I'm listening.

Smooches!

Are YOU watching American Idol?

Um...

Aunt Viv on Wendy Williams

Sooooooo...

Did you read what Aunt Viv said about Wendy Williams?  Seems Tatyana Ali was a recent guest on the show and Wendy brought up Aunt Viv's name bringing up old stuff.  Aunt Viv got mad because it's like...FOREVER ago stuff or something like that.

So she dug in so deep on Wendy...it's made all the news outlets:

Wendy Williams Blasted By 'Fresh Prince' Star Janet Hubert In Open Letter

What say you?  Is this:

A. Mean girl on mean girl?

B.  Mean girl picking on the wrong one?

C.  Silly ish...all press is good press?

 

 

HotNESS or HotMESS? (SM): The Andy Griffith show

"Girls" - I CAN'T BE THE ONLY THING YOU LIKE!!!!!!!

After Hannah dragged me right back into her tragic existence by feeling sorry for her...she stuck it to me good by falling so far off the edge I found myself praying for the child to find her way back to super obnoxious, overly confident without accomplishments Hannah.

Seriously.

"Hot In Cleveland"

I love this show and watch an episode pretty much every night on TV Land.  Do you watch it?  What do you think about ya girl always wearing shorty shorts?

Stallion Booty

I was talking to a friend and she was telling me that she's working out a lot and come Spring she was going to have one of those stallion booties.

Me:  I'm sorry...excuse me...what?

And then she told me about the real housewives doing  a workout video called Stallion Booty.  We were in the car so I was using my memory of what I know about the show and, for the life of me, I couldn't imagine anyone who is currently on the show having a workout video.

Especially one called Stallion Booty.

I asked my friend was stallion booty a good thing.  You know...is that what's hot in the streets right now?  Are people checking for stallion booties?  To which she replied that Phaedra's husband has a nice stallion booty.  So I was like...oh ...so her husband is doing the video NOT her.  And then my friend was like...no...she's doing it.  He's helping them do it cuz he's a trainer.

Oh.

But back to stallion booty cuz again...I'm confused.

When I asked Mr. Google about it...Kenya Moore's azz came up:

And she's walking around wearing some of Rhianna's resort wear and butt pads while other people are fully clothed.

*BLINK*

SIP:  Do butt pads not come in brown?

So it turns out that my friend was wrong.  There was a mix up with stallion and donkey booties and I've decided that it's going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG Lent season for me without wine.

My question out of all of this is...Do YOU aspire to having a stallion booty or a donkey booty?  How do YOU describe your booty and the booty you'd like to have?  

 

 

"House of Cards"

Anybody here watching?  What episode are you on? House of Cards

"Girls" - Team Hannah

I ran into this on Facebook yesterday.  Several pictures of Drake and his girlfriend on vacation.  The title of the article was mean stating that love was blind and referring to the young lady as his "chubby lumpkins."

The subsequent article was mean.  Like...REALLY.MEAN.

Then...while discussing the article, SingLikeSassy showed me this article:  

:)

From SIP: Dear Ho-livia...

Looka here.  I know your face still cracked and I know your heart is all broken up and ish but girl...seriously?  I coulda told you this is how it was gonna go down.  He's married AND he's the President.  And hell...in this world you being Black and him being White all out in public like that wasn't ever gonna be able to be out there like that cuz again...HE'S THE PRESIDENT!!!!!  Child...yall would have to be like Tina and move to another country and live on side of a hill or something.

SERIOUSLY.  PRACTICE YOUR ACCENT GIRL!

Now how 'bout we talk about the LEVEL of ho you are.  I mean...who hos around and be skinning and grinning up in the wife's face like that?  That level of whipping dog just ain't heard of by regular folk.  Everybody know that the mistress isn't trying to get up in the wife's face.  Decent hos know at least to steer clear of the wife and stay out them people business!

And you all up in the business.

GIRL!

And where yo mama 'et?  And your girlfriends?  The only "friend" you seem to have is Cyrus and BAAAAAAABY...I'd keep Huck on him if I wuz you cuz Cyrus was 'bout to turn on his husband so you know good and damn well he will have your azz hung upside down in a cedar lined bucket of water with your weave braids coming undone with the swiftness.

Now Mellie?  She ain't to be trifled with you know?  That chick rolls HARD.  If you didn't know before...you 'bout to know.  I'd be surprised if your name isn't on the BANNED list at the White House after this went down.  Yall done changed the heart of the cheating azz President so much that he can KILL.  Seriously.  A murderous President.  It just doesn't get any worser off than that.  Dude is the leader of the country, hoing around with you before, during and after his wife's pregnancy...is a killer AND has knowledge that he won the election because yall STOLE IT?  

Girl...you need to go sit DOWN-T somewhere.  You talking all that noise about painful love.  Child that's really called abuse.  Mental abuse.  And heck...physical abuse too if you keep talking that noise to Cyrus.  LOL!  Oh...and I if wuz you...I'd WANT to steer clear of Fitz's azz.  You know he had a bullet in his brain and he killing folks now.  Dude is gonna end up going rogue like Harvey Dent!

 

 

WATCH YO BACK HO-LIVIA!  

 

WATCH.YO.BACK!

 

SIP:  She doesn't have a Cool Aunt huh?

 

Ain't that about right...

Apparently Black Men Don't Like "Scandal"

I've been kind of oblivious to this and spent some time yesterday reading the different articles about it.  Seems as though a Black woman having a thing for a married White man is a major no-no to Black-men-representatives and other Black women watching the show and empathizing with Olivia are all kindsa "White man's whores."

*YAWN*

It's television.

Television is make believe.

I figure the same ones going in on it were of the same caliber of people who criticized "The Cosby Show" because it was a "fairy tale" in their opinion.

*YAWN*

Okay...let's move on.

I'll tell you my problem with "Scandal" cuz yeah...I have problems with it.  Not with the show being on...but with what Olivia is doing cuz you know...I know her in my head.  LOL!  I am disappointed in her personal life same as if I'd be if I knew her in real life and knew she was boinking a married man.  I'd be all like...GIRL!  YOU'D BETTER FOCUS ON THAT FINE AZZ SINGLE SENATOR WHO WANTS YOUR COCKEYED AZZ HELL!

I didn't watch it last night because The Robinator is sick and we were watching "Downton Abbey" and he was all comfortable and whatnot and I didn't want to rock his boat cuz seriously...dude is cranky when he's sick.  I'm finished watching it now and last night's episode just left me with a big old UGH in me.  I mean...Olivia ain't shit you know?  Seriously...she ain't shit.

But  it's television.

Television is make believe.

I know this.

I respect this.

The level of drama I've seen makes me anticipate the show all week until I just can't take it anymore.  I mean..we all know Olivia's comeuppance is coming right?  And we all want to be there when it happens.

I was listening to a segment on NPR recently and Jimmie Walker basically stated that stuff with Black people in them don't get made cuz really...nobody feels like dealing with all the bullshit complaining folks do about the damn shows.  I've been thinking a lot about that.  

MARTIN: Did people ever confront you when you were out and about, you know, at the time, to say, we don't like your portrayal? Did that ever happen?

WALKER: I think now that the Internet is out, there's always going to be people who don't like you. And I think what happens is it also is reflective in black TV shows and movies that you're not going to get any more of those because of the constant complaining and moaning and groaning, as you know, in the commercial television and radio industry. The point is to make money, and therefore, the networks themselves have stopped doing any ethnic shows because they don't want the aggravation.

MARTIN: Interesting.

WALKER: So I don't think...

MARTIN: So you think, in a perverse way, it actually inhibits more diverse content because people don't want the headache?

WALKER: Without a doubt. You'll see - because what'll happen is any minority character you see on a show now is always the police commissioner, the head of the hospital, the school superintendent. Those kind of people, they don't invoke followings. The people that are going to get attention are the wacky guys, the Cramers, the Charlie Sheens of the world. Those are the people that are going to get that sort of attention and eventually become stars. You'll never see a black Will Ferrell. You'll never see a black Adam Sandler, because black people aren't allowed to play those kind of roles.

I always say you have to be the person who takes the pie. If you're not willing to take the pie, you're not going to be noticed.

From:  Dyn-O-Mite! Comedian Jimmie Walker Talks Showbiz

I wonder what these Black men who hate the show would think about "Downton Abbey" cuz BAAAAAAAAAAABY...now that's some scandalous mess right there!  Oh...and I LURVE IT!  

What say YOU?  

 

Don't call us...we'll call you...

After a particularly compelling segment on NPR, we decided to try "Downton Abbey."

After 4 episodes of the first season...we've determined what we will be doing every night this week except Thursday night after 10:00 pm EST.

That is all.

Do YOU watch?  Oh my goodness!  ISN'T IT AWESOME.SAUCE???????????????

All My Babies' Mommas VS. Sister Wives

So...I'm sure you've heard of this by now.

But...what do you think of folks who are saying that the first show isn't any different from the second show?

Just...Laid...

Real Housewives of Atlanta - Kenya Moore

 

Any of you watching this show?  How is Kenya Moore doing?  

Police your DAMN SELF!

Yall know last week I went off on folks over on Facebook for being upset that people utilized their own Facebook walls and Twitter accounts to talk in REAL.TIME about "Scandal."

I mean really.  How fugging clueless do you have to be in order to know that folks are going to want to talk about it?  And how fugging  arrogant do you have to be in order to attempt to DEMAND that people not talk about what they are doing and seeing in REAL TIME in order for you and YOUR world to catch up?

Police your DAMN.SELF.  Stay the fug off Facebook and Twitter if you don't want to know.  Seriously.  You look oh so dumb trying to be mad at people for doing them and showing you have absolutely no self control when it comes to staying off Facebook and Twitter for a damn day.

Do you get mad at the ENTIRE MEDIA WORLD when real time game results are put out when you DVR'd the game to watch later?  YOUR bad...not ours.

Don't be dumb.  Have some damn sense.  Sheesh!

Let's not have to have this conversation again.  You shouldn't want to look so selfish and stupid.  

POLICE YOUR DAMN SELF!

Well? - Who do YOU think shot Fitz?

Who Shot Fitz?

Who Shot Fitz?

Scenario from Real Life Television...(LOL!)

Powerful woman is currently dating powerful man.

Powerful woman just got out of a relationship with an even MORE powerful and MARRIED man.

Current powerful man is pulling out all the stops to woo her and they are, seemingly, on the surface, pretty happy and right for each other.

The even MORE powerful MARRIED man gets shot.

The powerful woman rushes to his side even though they are no longer messing around.

Her pain makes it very clear and obvious that she's in love with him.

How do YOU think CURRENT powerful man will handle knowing the love of his life was messing around with a MARRIED man?  Think she'll come crashing down in his eyes?
