You’ve heard of blue-eyed soul, now I introduce to you blue-eyed neo-soul. My pick for the week is Remy Shand. What makes him so special is not that he’s white, but the fact that he plays every instrument in this song, and on his album…
[Take A Message by Remy Shand]
My second choice is non other than Erykah Badu, there is no way I can play Neo-soul and not mentioned my fellow Dallas-ite Ms. Badu. This song is my favorite song by Erykah, I hate the video, but I love the words to the songs. This is the song that encourages me and gets me through whenever I’m at a crossroad… Here are some of the lyrics:
Time to save the world; Where in the world is all the time
So many things I still don’t know; So many times I’ve changed my mind
Guess I was born to make mistakes; But I ain’t scared to take the weight
So when I stumble off the path; I know my heart will guide me back
[Didn't Cha Know by Erykah Badu]

This past week, R&B singer Brandy went on a shopping trip at Intermix in New York City. I couldn’t help but notice that Louis Vuitton leopard monogram tote Brandy had because it’s the very oneSolange was seen with outside the MTV Times Square Studios last May.
Both divas have style as you can tell from their fashion-forward videos. Check out Brandy’s “Sitting Up In My Room” for all those quick costume changes or Solange’s latest “Sandcastle Disco” for something different.
For the record the bag is from Louis Vuitton Fall 2006 ready to wear collection. So which R&B starlet pulled off that luxe LV bag – Brandy or Solange?
Angela Simmons and Cassie were caught wearing this Herve Leger bandage mini-skirt in two different colors – grey and black. Despites the color scheme, both went for a similar look…
Cassie’s look will cost you a cool $595 over at INTERMIXONLINE.COM whereas Angela’s skirt runs for $552 over at SHOPATMILK.COM. (You gotta love Cassie’s YSL shoes…)

When I saw Ciara in this floor-length colorful maxi dress, I immediately thought of the look Cynthia Nixon wore in “Sex & The City: The Movie.” Cynthia has on a T-Bags dress…as does Ciara. Eva Longoria Parker and Halle Berry are also fans of T-Bags.
Apparently the dress is sold-out online but I found 2 some low-cost alternatives.
For those interested in what Christina Milian wore to the launch party of T-Mobile Sidekick LX Tony Hawk edition, it’s this French Connection “bex” embellished shift dress! Christian’s look comes in white, black and lime green. (Re: £130.00)

4. Danity Kane parnters up with Dollhouse denim collection. [Denimology]
5. Solange and Trina simply love this Gucci bag. [Urban-Hoopla] xoxo, Chi-Chi!
I didn’t not recognize her, I kept asking myself is that really Keyshia Cole. I always thought she was a pretty girl, but her beauty certainly shines through with the dark hair, instead red or blond. I bet Jeezy probably having second thoughts, eh! Keyshia Cole is rocking the “Respect My Vote” tee, part of a T.I. initiative to encourage young blacks to vote…

This is too hard, I have so many, and I think I have played enough El Debarge and Lionel Richie. I think I will just play two of my favorite songs that are by male singers. Marvin Gaye, hands down, is the best male singer ever; that’s not an opinion that is a bonafide fact, and I dare you to challenge it.
Anyway, my first pick of the day is by Alexander O’Neal, he is best known for his duets with singer Cherelle. The song I chose, If You Were Here Tonight, just has the perfect tempo. You can drink a glass of wine and think about your love one. Now the video is cheesy, but worth a looky…
My last choice is by the great, great, great Luther Vandross. Some may argue that he is better than Marvin Gaye, but you can’t prove it. Anyway, this song is just one of the most beautiful songs written; it also features the late Gregory Hines. If you haven’t experienced this type of love, then you have never been in love…So Ladies and Gentlemen, I present…There’s Nothing Better Than Love…

This is just a sad moment for black leaders, LeRoi Moore of Dave Matthews passed relating to an ATV accident, Bernie Mac, Issac Hayes, and now Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Most of us remember her for her undying support of Hillary Clinton during the primaries, but she was in fact the first black woman to represent Ohio in the congress. Jones was first elected to the position in 1998.
There have been rumors that Lisa Bonet is pregnant again. Well I think from the “outie” and baby bulge that those rumors are confirmed. Anyway here are candids of Lisa with her daughter Zoe Kravitz, and youngest daughter by Jason Momoa, Lola Lolani…
UPDATE: Apparently, this is Lisa’s second child, and the rumors that she had a son named Desikachar Kest with yoga instructor Bryan Kest are apparently false or unverifiable. I do not know where the name Desikachar Kest came from and why the rumors are so prevalent, but thanks to Angry Delores for the tip. This is supposedly Bryan Kest’s real wife and son…
