According to Access Hollywood, it’s confirmed that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are engaged. Someone slap me now, I’ve been so wrapped up in Obama v. Wright, that I forgot I was a celebrity news blogger, and this came across my e-mail and I almost went into shock. Little Nick Cannon be putting it down, I’m saying this is the year of the cougars. First, Ray J and Whitney Houston, and now Nick and Mariah. There were rumors circulating that they were dating, but I didn’t think a potential marriage could come of it.
This is what a real woman looks like after giving birth, it takes time for your body to bounce back into shape. Hollywood would make you think it works like magic. Some people are bless to snap back, but the for the majority of us, mother natures has a time line. Here are candids of the beautiful new mom…
If your dress is this tight and you don’t feel comfortable wearing it…DON’T. A dress like this require plenty of confidence, and a pair of Spanx. I love Alicia Keys and generally she makes great wardrobe choices, but I can tell she wasn’t comfortable with this one, and maybe she should have just changed. She has a nice body with plenty of curves and the dress looks nice, but…
Some of the best music of all come from men with a process on their hair. During the 50’s this style became quite popular, along with new soulful sounds. My pick is one of my favorite bands from the 80’s when the style came back with a vengeance, this group is known for their fast hits, but I prefer their slow grooves. The leader is well known for his hair.

I can’t forget one of the most talented guitarist. He is known for sporting an Afro, but later in his life before his tragic death he sported a perm.

Thanks to flynetonline.com we have pictures of Tia Mowry and Cordy Hardrict’s wedding. The wedding was very simple and beautiful, the bride walked down the aisle as Kenny Lattimore sang “For You” live. The couple married outdoors in a ceremony held at the Four Seasons-Biltmore in Santa Barbara. Her twin sister, Tamera, was her maid of honor. She wore a couture dress by designer Kevan Hall. I’m happy, we need more actress like Tia and Tamera in Hollywood. She’s come along way since Sister Sister, and The Game is one of my favorite shows.

This an urban entertainment news blog with a sophisticated twist. MrsGrapevine.com does not make up rumors or intentionally report sensational stories without a credible new source. This blog has an Alex.com ranking of 82, 433, with over a 120,000 pageviews and 97,00 unique visitors. I’m hoping to take it to the next level and need someone to help fill in the gaps.
There are very few girl groups, but the 80’s had a few of my favorites. This group was sexy and talented. I still jam their songs on my iPod. They were a bit edgy for their time, even by today’s standards…

Precious lives that want their voices heard speak with the pain of their eyes
A pain so real that tears grow in drought, but it’s there in the eyes
In the eyes of the helpless mother questioning the value of her child’s life– less than fossil fuel?
In the eyes of a child only knowing the world to be cruel but still keeps hope and the power to love in the iris
In the eyes of you – hearing with your heart and using your voice to speak their truths – you value the breath we all share
Quiet now, I can hear their whispers, shhhhhh we all can – if we would just listen with our eyes
