You can’t get in the way of what Alicia Keys is feeling. Alicia Keys is standing by her man, happily in front of the cameras, despite the rumors and background noise. No matter what you think about this couple, Alicia Keys is determined to love Swizz Beatz on her own terms, and not the media’s terms, or what anyone in the past says about him. You have to admit that’s kind of gansta of Alicia Keys. I couldn’t do it because infidelity is a deal breaker for me, but it’s not a deal breaker for everyone else. Like Zora Neale Hurston says in Their Eyes Were Watching God, “You got tuh go there tuh know there.”
It’s an unknown fact…you got tuh go there tuh know there. Yo’ papa and yo’ mama and nobody else can’t tell yuh and show yuh. Two things everybody’s got to do fuh theyselves. They got tuh go to tuh God and they got tuh find out about livin’fuh theyselves.

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are living for theyselves. I finally get it, Swizz Beatz is just Alicia Keys’ Tea Cake, and hopefully you read the book, or at least watched the movie. The love story doesn’t end well, but more importantly there are no regrets in true love. We’ve all had a Tea Cake before, just not while we were famous at the top of our game sending out messages of love under a microscope. But we’ve all have had a Tea Cake…Although we think we’re helping Alicia Keys, we’re really just getting in the way of what she’s feeling…More pics when you continue…

Fresh off a break in music for taking on her new role as mommy, Alicia Keys performed at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on Friday, September 23rd.

Over the years, I’ve noticed that Alicia writes and sings songs directly about her life. Remember Unthinkable? So, in light of the recent news of Swizz Beats allegedly stepping out, this song kind of comes off as a little…side-eye worthy. Is it just me? Check out her performance after the jump…

We have all been patiently awaiting the return of NeNe Leakes and them other wives on Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 4. This season will probably be the best season EVER when it comes to drama. Not only will we see the Housewives fighting like usual (basically everyone versus NeNe) but you will also see Peter Thomas and that pickle-loving Apollo get into an altercation. I CAN NOT wait!!! The season doesn’t begin until November 6th, but while we wait, here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come…


I put all my money on Peter Thomas. Although Apollo has served some time, I don’t think Apollo can handle a crazy island man’s temper. Anyway watch the season four preview video when you continue…

Angela Simmons takes it all off for animal rights activist, PETA. The daughter of Reverend Run of Run DMC, would rather go nude than to eat meat. Oh my, I didn’t know Angela Simmons is a vegetarian, but this is the best way to find out, right? And, Of course Global Grind has the exclusives. I wonder how long has Angela been meat free.

PETA does a very good job of balancing the nudity. These pics are cute and classy. More pics when you continue…

Hello World! Ms. Toni here; reporting in to share a nice healthy dose of “WTF” on this glorious Monday. So let me paint the picture. It’s Saturday morning. I’m calmly scrolling through my Twitter timeline, checking out discussions going on and so forth…

I spot someone post a video, going on about it’s hilariousness. Then I see them post another…and another…pretty soon, I see a few more people jumping in. I decide that it’s time to find out what’s going on so I click on one…
What I found was a natural hair video, posted on YouTube under an account named TypeF. But upon watching the video called “African American Hair: How to comb the top of your afro”, I thought CLEARLY this was a spoof. As I watched a woman with missing edges (as if they got lost in the underground railroad and haven’t made their way out yet) go on needlessly with instruction on how to comb the TOP of an afro, I was SURE this couldn’t be real.
*sigh* Please check out what I found upon further inspection, after the jump…

I haven’t seen Cuba Godding, Jr this happy since Jerry Maguire…

One thing I never thought I would see in my life time is Cuba Gooding , Jr. standing next to Al Sharpton. Seeing Cuba Gooding Jr, so excited to meet a black man just makes my day. *priceless* I feel like shucking and jiving myself.
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle make one beautiful couple. You can’t tell me they were not looking sharp Friday night at the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Phoenix Awards. Black is my favorite color and you can see why. The First Lady was so so doggone fierce and sexy Friday night that President Obama just smiled every time he looked at her. They are definitely bringing sexy back to the White House; it’s been missing since the Kennedys.
BTW, President Barack H Obama will be on BET tonight to answer your questions about the economy and jobs. Make sure you watch the President tonight! You do know Basketball Wives LA comes on twice Monday nights, so no excuses.
A BET News Exclusive: The President Answers Black America premieres MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 at 7:30 PM ET. This exclusive is President Obama’s first television interview with BET on the economic crisis in Black America since he introduced the American Jobs Act, answers questions about how and when recovery will come, and the election politics that have his plan in gridlock. {President Obama on BET News}

These two look so nice they need a sound track…More pics when you continue…
