It's Friday.......... I need a drink!

How can a job that doesn't endanger your life make one so miserable? I promised not to turn my blog into a job-hate rant so I won't go there..... peep this little lyrical lovely for blog-groupies everywhere.

blog to me in a way that I’ll forever want to hold you

caress me with verses that seem to linger in my ear

you penetrate my thoughts with your blogetic presentation

leaving behind mere whispers of a voice I long to hear......

Now that's gangsta!

Seeing as how my work was recently boosted, yes, boosted! As in all-out stolen, thiefed, 5 finger discount, hope nobody saw that 'ish, tooked! Not by a commoner mind you, but a respected well-known member of black religious society. He stole it, he published it, he claimed it but I have the original. I ain't namin names & I ain't trippin since it was my fault I slipped & didn't acquire the rights to my work at the time. But KNOW this, I forgets nothing & it ain't over.... he knows who he is....IT AIN'T OVA!


She's Forever Your Girl!


Too bad nobody gives a damn.

What's the world coming to when Britney Spears can bite the hell out of a cheeseburger & it sells for $500. But Paula Abdul can't sell a date, a shopping spree & a trip to NYC? That's right, noONE bid on Paula's ebay date so the site pulled the listing after 4 days! Now, that's gotta hurt!

As in; Prom date shows up to the prom with someone else cuz he forgot he asked you HURT!

As in; Spending the day at the spa, new hairstyle, new clothes, professional makeup, mani & pedi only to show up @ the party, run into your ex & his new girl has on jeans & a t-shirt that says "Vote For Pedro" & somehow looks 10x better than your azz HURT!

Just sad!

Paula's a hot mess now & we all know it but in 1989, she was the 'ish & I was her biggest fan! Oh shut up... like you don't have someone famous who you're embarrased to say "I used to LOOOOVE them". Paula could dance her butt off & in HEELS at that!!!

Beyonce who!? Let's not forget it was Paula who first donned a pair of pumps & tap-danced, jumped around, & straight got her boogie ON! I loved "Forever Your Girl" but I saw the end coming when she went for album #2 & had a miserable performance (remember Vibeology) at the MTV music awards that left both of us feeling sad, depressed & ashamed. After that, I knew her 15 minutes had officially expired but it didn't matter because it was a hella of 15 minute experience... BTW Janet, Paula will take that "THANK YOU" any time you're ready.

Moment of silence to respect the technique!

CELEBRITY RIDDLE:

Q: What do Angelina & Madonna have that Britney supposedly wants???
A: I'll take "African Baby" for 500 Alex.

Ding! Ding! Ding! You are correct!!!

I really hope this news is false. Honestly people, African babies are not handbags, you can't shove them in the back of your closet as soon as they go out of style! If you're a danger to your own kids why screw up the life of a kid that you don't have to buy, oops, I mean adopt.

For some reason, I just see celebs going to third world countries visiting orphanages with their checkbooks out all "I like this one, no wait, wait, that one is soooo awesome!", "Does it come in a 5 or 6 month model cuz a 6 month model would be so perfect for my Vanity Fair photoshoot next month!" "I hear they photograph better".

One thing's for sure, when these kids get older, their going to have one heck of a book deal..


I LOVE BARACK OBAMA!!!


I would love to see him as the next president! Besides really caring about the state of the world, he is very comfortable in his own skin & knows who he is. Plus, he has a REAL family that doesn't just play one on TV. U know what I'm talkin bout. He is genuine & he certainly has my vote whether he runs or not!! No, that was not a typo or grammatical error... WHETHER HE RUNS OR NOT..


A new hotty-hot-hotness has arrived! Thank you Oprah!

(pic doesn't do him justice but it's the only one I can find)

I've been tuning in to the Oprah show every Tuesday to witness the adventures of her road-trip across America with her B-F-F Gayle King. I think Gayle is naturally hilarious by the way..

To meet her fitness goals, Oprah has a road trainer with her courtesy of Bob "boy-am-I-a-lucky-fitness-pro" Greene. The road trainer is Chris Robinson & he seems really easy-going with a great smile & an obvious love of fitness. Gayle's admitted she thinks he's a lovely distraction while O acts like she hardly noticed. Chile puh-leeze. Fine is Fine & HE is FINE! All I can say. Fine.


WHAT A LOVELY SURPRISE..... (personal moment interruption)

So, the other day, I had a rough day at work. Okay, every day is a rough day truth be told but as usual I vented to HIM. As usual, he listened, sympathized, praised my underpaid work achievements & so it went. Then, today at around 1:15pm, I received an e-mail from the front desk. The subject was FLOWERS & I immediately dashed out there to see a beautiful bouquet of roses in a pretty glass vase. HE sent them just because he wanted to brighten my day. What a sweetie! 10 years & he's still full of surprises. Okay, now that I've clearly sickened you, here's a pic of the bouquet & I promise I'll move on...




Before I bid you bonne nuit, I MUST share this:


HILARIOUS QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"We don't necessarily discriminate. We simply exclude certain types of people."
Colonel Gerald Wellman


Honestly, seemingly intellingent people say some of the dumbest 'ish you'll never hear!!

Okay, till next time

Janet on Oprah!!

Yesterday, Janet appeared on O's show. Of course I watched it, although it was not that "revealing" of an interview. Most of what she discussed, I'd heard before with the exception of her views on the whole Superbowl fiasco.

Let's discuss shall we?

"The halftime show with Janet Jackson was billed as an event that would be remembered for years to come—and was it ever. For the grand finale, Justin Timberlake sang "I'm going to get you naked by the end of this song," and he did just that—ripping Janet's bustier and exposing her breast, naked except for a large sunburst-shaped ring.The incident sparked a firestorm of controversy that swept across the country. The Federal Communications Commission received more than 500,000 complaints and CBS was fined $550,000."

So, naturally Oprah asked if it was planned?

"No," Janet says. "What people don't understand is, he was to rip the piece off that he did, but more came off than what was supposed to. … It was a very embarrassing moment."

So then Janet says that she "can't believe her breast caused global interest". "There was so much more going on in the world that was so much more important," she says.

Now, Miss Jackson says she also regrets issuing an apology for the Superbowl incident and blames the poor decision on her former management team.

Ok, U.B.A thinks it was planned as a terrific jump start to launch her album that was released later on that year to dismal reviews & lackluster sales... a terrific plan that backfired & cost Janet one of the best marketing relationships she had.. MTV! I think the experience humbled her and made her realize that not all the world wants to see you naked.

Moving on to Justin's role in the "boob flash heard round the world", we all know that many think he (Justin "Sexyback" Timberlake) got away without so much as a scrape to his public image while Janet was thrown to the wolves!

Damita Jo says all of the emphasis was put on her & they were friends & he didn't have her back. See, Dunk takes friendship seriously & says she's "a very loyal friend."

During a recent MTV interview, Justin said "I probably got 10 percent of the blame. I think America is harsher on women …and I think America is unfairly harsh on ethnic people."

Janet also said that ole' J.T. has reached out to her but she's not feelin him right now but will hollaback when the time is right for HER!

Now, let's talk about the real deal - the WEIGHT LOSS - of course!

Ok, so Miss Lady said she lost 60 pounds in 4 months the good ole fashioned way: Exercise & Eating Right! Mmmhmmm. U did? Really? Ok, sure.

Here's the thing & please keep in mind that I like Janet. I'm a big fan! I've watched her grow up from Penny to Charlene to Cleo. I have all the CD's from Janet Jackson to 20 Y.O.

But something tells me that like the superbowl fiasco, this whole "gained weight for movie role" is just an excuse to justify why she got fat. Why can't stars just be honest? True, it's really none of our business BUT if you're going to discuss it at all - why not tell the TRUF!

"Just months after paparazzi photographed Janet at her all-time highest weight, 180 pounds, she returned to her normal size".

Exactly, so who's to say that the infamous pics weren't yet another fabu ploy to let the world see "how big I am before I go under the knife & get this stuff lipo'd out!"

"Janet credits her four-month transformation to nutritionist David Allen and trainer Tony Martinez. Janet drastically cut her food intake, but to keep her metabolism going strong, she ate frequent, small meals of vegetables and lean meats. She also worked out five or six times each week, combining strength and cardiovascular training."

Yes, I know the key to losing weight is portion control, regular vigorous exercise and healthy eating, but 60 pounds in 4 months?? With amazing results like that? Tight skin, flat 6-pack abs, not a stretch mark or inch of chub in sight huh? C'mon now, stop pulling the wool over the publics eyes! Maybe I'm just playing devil's advocate but it bewilders me that someone so familiar with the ole plastic surgery game would want to work that hard & could actually achieve such perfect results in such a short amount of time!

Not to mention, she lip synced during both performances on Oprah. I was very dissapointed! Wassup with that?? I mean, Janet could dance & sing with the best of em. That's why everyone from Britney to Beyonce has tried to copy her performance style but nobody rocks it like Penny so WTF with the lip sync? If you're workin out hard enough to drop 60 pounds in 4 months when the standard weight loss is 5 pounds per month (google it if you don't believe), then dancing & singing should be easy considering you once did it no problem!

Well, we all know she love her some him so no big newsflash there.

I'm glad she's happy although lil strange that she doesn't really know Mike's kids & haven't really talked to him during his stay in the Middle East. I'm sure she has free long distance on her celly. I know it's the Middle East so the per minute rate must be a mutha but still...
