This is a picture of Rihanna after she realized the shirt she was wearing was very see through. She was enjoying a night on the town without her better half, Chris Brown. I’m sure if Chris Brown was going out with her he probably would have suggested another photo friendly shirt. Check out more pictures of Rihanna’s night in the new photo gallery…

Halle Berry is getting back into shape fast, and what better way to show her slimming post-baby frame than to rock a Barack Obama white tee. Move over Obama Girl, Halle Berry is ready to reign…
I came across these pictures, and we always complain about celebrities wearing make-up and not looking natural. At least I have complained, because it sends false messages to teens that celebrities are perfect. As much as I disapprove of Deelishis outfit (click here to refresh your memory), I’m actually proud of her for keeping in real. Well proud may be an overstatement, but she doesn’t disquise her flaws to appear as something she’s not. Now is this really Madonna in the picture below, because I always thought she was quite fab for her age. I think it’s just a bad camera angle. The A-rod scandal has probably taken a lot out of her, but knowing Madonna, she’ll definitely rebound…

It’s certainly the year of the cougars. The cougars are taking over, and soon their won’t be any young men for the young women. You know the saying, Once they go old…Okay, so there isn’t a saying, but their needs to be…
Last week I played Secret Lovers, and this week, I’m presenting Shirley Murdock, Go On Without You. It’s time to apologize and to beg for forgiveness, because after messing up you realize you had a good a thing. I don’t know why the saying is true, but you never miss a good thing until it’s gone. I also have to apologize to Marvalus because I went out of order on the theme this week, not thinking she probably had another song chosen. For now on I will stick to the order…
Everyone has a signature style trend of their own. However when celebrities have one, you and I sort of wonder why they hold on to one style item forever. Truth be told, celebrities have access to free clothes and fashion stylists. Anyhow check out these three known folks rocking their favorite look…
Gabrielle Union’s love affair with a white dress started when she wore a Celine number to the 2008 BET Awards. Soon after she paired her favorite look with Roger Vivier flower sandals.
Alicia Keys and her mild obsession with fitted jeans may be a style effort inspired by her upcoming Emporio Armani apparel line.
Kanye West and his oversized black shades are apart of his overall look and swagger.
So here are a few pieces to grab a look similar to Gabrielle, Alicia, and Kanye. Click on the Polyvore photo collage to access the look for less.
So I ask what’s YOUR favorite style item that YOU can’t get enough of? While you ponder over a great reply, check out the latest fashion spots I discovered over at URBAN-HOOPLA.COM.

I can’t tell you how happy I am, he looks so much better. It wasn’t the braids it was the shaved bay hair sideburns that bothered me most, did he want a fade or did he want braids, because the two together wasn’t working. I know I’m getting old in my age because this new haircut makes him look like a respectable young man, and the keyword is man.
Mariah Carey hit up URL without husband, Nick Cannon. She is rocking a rainbow pastel jean skirt, I think I had one of those in the six grade with stars and glitter on it.
Rihanna and Chris Rock do what normal young couples do, they have fun at the amusement park. I haven’t been on a roller coaster in a minute, I may need to take a trip to Six Flags.
Here are some pictures of Deelishis at a Private Bowling Party at Lucky Strike in Miami, hosted by Swagga Entertainment and Dunk Ryder Records. Now usually I am a woman of words, many words for those of you who know me, but I have no words. This should have been a caption this contest because I need someone else to speak for me. If this outfit was worn on the beach, I probably wouldn’t have much to say, except a suggestion of a one-piece, but this is not on the beach or near any water, this is in a bowling alley. It’s amazing what airbrushing can do to a picture because I never noticed any of this before…

How beautiful, we get our first look at Halle Berry as a mom. I’m so glad, I’m not a celebrity, it has to feel weird to have people watching you at your most intimate moments. Although I think it’s weird, I know you want to see the pictures just as much as I do…
This song is not a break-up song per se, but it will definitely break-up a happy home, so if you’re in a relationship that this song reflects, then you need to stop…This group had some hits and so I present to you Atlantic Starr…
This second song was my favorite when I was a teen, I loved Bel Biv Devoe, and when they came here in concert the crowd was so loud that we out sang the group…

Vanessa Williams treated her daughter Jillian for lunch at La Scala Restaurant but this is all besides the point because Vanessa has on a (now) $23.00 Simply Vera Vera Wang dress. Kohl’s has Vanessa’s blue pleated 3/4 sleeved dress marked down from $78.00 to a whopping $23.00. Of course the dress is sold out!
But thanks to EBAY, this dress can be yours for $34.95! I found a great steal for $70.00-$140.00 like this Susana Monaco pleated jewel Neck Dress.

This is the part of Hollywood I like, the real beautiful women behind the characters we love so much. Malinda Williams bridal shower is full of women worth admiring, and the sisterhood shines right through the photos. I remember Malinda Williams as far back as The Cosby Show, and I have always been a fan. I’m glad to see this personal side of her. Malinda is blogging her wedding experience with rapper D-nice for Essence.com, so please be sure to check it out…

Is it me or does this just not seem right? Why is Ashanti dressed like a video vixen in her boyfriend’s video? This may be one of those moments when I need to mind my own business, and just wait for the final project. Right now, it looks like Ashanti is using her assets to help Nelly make money, and we all know what that is commonly called…
She does look nice in the next picture, so maybe the above picture is an angle that will not be shown in the actual video. What man other than Ice-T would want their wifey on display?
I just got back form church and the sermon was very interesting. It made me wonder, how many people know their calling in life, their life’s purpose. No matter who you are you have a purpose, you are uniquely designed to fulfill something special. I’m 30 now, and I love to do so many things, and I’m good at them, but I feel like I’m missing my life’s purpose. I know my heart is drawn to helping others, but we live in a time of wealth, and part of me want to pursue money before I do what I know I’m rightfully designed to do. So, how do you step out on faith, and just give your life over to it’s calling.
This really became apparent Friday when we were discussing hip-hop over at Hagar’s Daughter Blog. I take offense when people talk about hip-hop, and I know it’s not perfect, but I think I’m much like David Banner in this way; I understand it’s music of inflicted people, people that are dispossessed. This is not a means to justify it, but those that are the most critical seem to do very little to help or educate the youth, instead they talk down upon them as if they should just know better for the sake of knowing better, instead reaching out a helping hand to enlighten. I can’t look down on the music or the rappers because I feel our inner city youth have been let down, and we blame the music because it’s so easy to do, but what does the music really say about us, all of us as a whole. It reveals some serious truths that we as a community don’t want to deal with publicly or privately. Why are our children rapping about drugs and not about Christ? Why are our women being disrespected instead of lifted up? How did music come to this? Who are our rappers’ heroes? Is it you?
My life purpose is to be the light, to offer hope in a child’s life where there is none. I will give the youth something different to sing about, because I believe they are better, they can be better, and they are asking us how. This doesn’t mean I’m going to listen to rap music and support it, this means I’m not going to degrade the people accused of degrading other people. Everyone is human and redeemable, and I believe that as much as I believe in Christ. I don’t care if people don’t agree with me, I don’t care if people see it as the music of the devil, I don’t care if people boycott it, I don’t care if people turn their radio off when they hear it. But I do care, if you sit on the sidelines pretending it’s someone else’s problem when it’s our problem. People can continue to hear the trash in the music, I will continue to hear - S.O.S.
I will heed to the calling…
This is a great way to get back in the swing of things. I missed OSF last week, and I felt so disconnected from everyone. Everyone make sure you show Marvalus some love because she has single-handedly kept us on track. I don’t know what to chose, I grew up in the South and although we loved the East coast, we just seemed to be more connected to the West, and my most favoritest person and rapper in the whole world got his start when he moved to the West. So naturally my first pick is Tupac. However, the South had a groove going back in the day with some more regional talents like Scarface. So for my OSF second pick of the week I give you Geto Boys…I’ll save all the Beastie Boys, Run DMC, and Rakim for the rest of my fellow bloggers.
[I changed my song, Shae-Shae and I picked the same song, so I switched it to another Tupac song.]

Tia Mowry’s silk ruffled Ports 1961 dress at the L.A premiere of “Hancock” may have been inspired by the off-the-shoulder look launched by Jennifer Beals in the 1983 film, “Flashdance.” So I said to a great friend – “Oh, there’s a trend born again!”
The asymmetrical look has been seen on Ghita fashion designer Alexis Phifer, newly Vogue it girl Tocarra, Michelle Williams, Vanessa Williams, Zoe Saldana, and recently Ciara. This look is H-O-T because you can still rock a bra like this convertible one AND you don’t have to worry about constantly pulling up your top/dress…technically.
The downside of wearing this look is the one-sided tan. (LOL!) Cocoa butter quickly becomes a girl’s best friend when you decide to wear this look. So sit back and enjoy a few affordable pieces you can grab to obtain the “Show that shoulder” look.
1. Jay Godfrey one shoulder silk jersey, $495.00 INTERMIXONLINE.COM
2. Go International One-Shoulder Jersey Dress, $34.99 target.com
3. A.B.S. black pleated sateen one-shoulder dress, $189.00 bluefly.com
4. Juicy Couture Cherry Pie Crochet Smock Dress, $228.00 CHICKDOWNTOWN.COM.
So what are your thoughts on this look? Who can pull it off or who should leave it alone? While you ponder a great reply, check out the latest fashion spots I discovered over at URBAN-HOOPLA.COM.

I know I have been slipping lately, I have been enjoying my summer, so much so I almost forgot to post pictures of Usher’s son, Usher V. I have been waiting forever to see this child, and I let the moment almost slip right pass me. I’m happy to inform you, he is one beautiful baby boy. Here is an excerpt from the Essence interview with Hill Harper and Usher on fatherhood:
HARPER: If you could take your finger and touch your 9-month-old son, Usher V, on the head and impart some certain knowledge, what would you want him to know?
USHER: First of all, I’d actually look inside myself and evaluate what I felt like I missed from my own father.
HARPER: What did you miss?
USHER: Knowing that I was accepted. That I mattered. And hearing that he cared enough to put me before himself.
I haven’t posted too many pictures of Gabrielle Union since she went off on all the blogs for tearing black celebrity women down from their weaves to their ashen ankles, but there is a new movie out with a black cast, and she happens to be in it, so I will post some pictures of Gabrielle Union. I will help market this movie, although I’m scared. I read the premise and I have to say it just doesn’t sound like my kind of movie, but it may be something worth taking the kiddies to see. Truth be told I heard it’s kind of funny. Meet Dave is about some small aliens (micro small) inside a spaceship that looks human, like Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy plays the part of the human looking spaceship as well as the captain of the miniature crew. So the Nilleans, as they are called, are on earth in search of a device that will help them save the planet Nill, where the miniature aliens live. The goal of the crew is to make the spaceship look and act like a real person, and fit into the New York culture. Sounds funny, right! I sure hope it is. Anyway check out pics of Gabrielle Union at the premier.
I agree with celebrities, but only sometimes, people can be really cruel. I’ve been reading comments about Jennifer Lopez in her bikini after having twins…not one, but two children, and the fact that she can wear a bikini is impressive to me. I think we are so use to our celebrities bouncing back, that people forget that having a baby isn’t easy on the body, and it takes a little time to snap back, and that’s if it can. So, I love Jennifer Lopez’s post baby body. I think it’s great that she has the courage to rock bikini after having twins. So stop the madness…
