"Aint that some ...!"


Have you ever had a "Ceelo - Fuck you" moment?
There are so many times I want to just get that fitting green dress, pull up my hair, wear some pearls, call my girlfriends(a la DreamGirls) and do a chorus of "F*ck you!)

Ha!

You know what am talking about! That pesky one person that drives you up a wall.
It could be an Ex, a bad boss, a jealous relative or just some plain 'ol party-poopers!
As soon as I saw this video, I knew it would be a banger, I like the old school vibe and the throwback to Outkast's Hey Ya or Roses.

iLike *wink*

This song will be a soundtrack to talk-to-the-hand moments that will now pop up, if someone refuses to give you your 10s! Simply tell 'em "Fuck you" with a swipe of your finger under your chin *wink*

Busted!!

Well, well, well!! Seems like some people can't stay out of trouble! TI is back in the clink!  Doesn't it seem like he was just released from jail? 
T.I. and his wife Ms. Piggy Tameka "Tiny" Cottle were arrested late last night for possession of a controlled substance.


The couple got in trouble during a traffic stop when cops smelled marijuana coming from their car.
TMZ now reports that they were in pocession of Ecstasy and Meth!


T.I. is currently on a three-year probation after being charged and jailed in 2008 for unlawfully possessing firearms as a convicted felon.


Seriously TI, you have everything going for you right now; recently married, you have the number one movie (Takers) in the country, working on a new album etc etc.  Can't you just get it together? Partake in that 'stuff' at home if you must!!   Smh!
Waiting on that statement from their camp....let's see how they spin this!


Road to redemtion my a$$!!

Emmy Fashion - The High Notes

I watched the Emmy Awards last Sunday and enjoyed some parts.  I LOVE television and I may be described as a couch potato but I prefer TV enthusiast! Name a show, and chances are I have seen it! Naturally, I had to tune in to watch the best of the best in television get honored. My shows Mad Men, Modern Family got top honors *yaay!* but I was bummed that True Blood didn't win the top awards:(
Besides staying glued to the tube rooting for my favorite shows, I enjoy greatly the fashion showcase on the red carpet by the stars!  Most of them did not disappoint!  Below are a few of the highlights for me:

Kim Kardashian looked like Grecian goddess!  The best she's ever looked. She hit all the high notes!


Heidi Klum in the very short yet ultra sexy dress. Great accessories and fab shoes!!

Maria Menounos showing off her best asset in a dress that was made for her body!

 
The fab couple Nicole Ari Parker & Boris Kodjoe

It's A New Dawn! Progress...


Finally some good news!! 
Kenya will change forever. President Mwai Kibaki received, read and signed the legal instruments, proclaiming the new constitution into law early yesterday.
It was a culmination of 20 years of a stop-and-go review process, which started in the late 1980s and gathered steam in the early 1990s. The signing took place in a big ceremony at the historic Uhuru Park in central Nairobi.
Immediately the President publicly read and signed the Instruments of Promulgation of the new Constitution, the country was radically restructured, bringing to an end 47 years of post-independence history and setting it on a new course.  A cause to celebrate!!



The video below also seems fitting...

At the movies...

TGIF!! 

Are you going to the movies this weekend? What do you plan on watching?  There are a few new movies that opened today. The one with the most buzz is Takers! With an all star cast bunch of C-list movie stars consisting of Matt Dillon, Hayden Christensen, Idris Elba, Michael Ealy, Tip Harris, Chris Brown, etc, it is sure to be a big draw at the box office.  Unless The has-beens Expendables holds up strong for a third week in a row.  Maybe I should really go see what all the hype is about in that action flick! 


Strictly for my amusement, I always check out movie reviews! Criticts are just that, critics! They are there to find fault.  They hardly sway my decision to watch a movie because i would rather form my own opinion.  Here are some gems from my favorite critics on Takers;


"The Italian Heat Job for Dummies"  Lol!
"Attempts at Quentin Tarantino-esque artiness go overboard."  *frown*


You get the gist of it.  Overall, the movie was panned by the critics but that has never stopped anyone.  Will you go see it?  Looking forward to getting 'real' people's feedback!

*Update: Saw it and it came up a little short for me! No particular actor stole the show.  Congrats on opening up number one despite showing in less theaters than The Last Exorcism.
