Carlton Jordan sits down with Jackie and Doug Christie in an exclusive one on one video. During the video, Jackie is asked about her thoughts on the light-skinned vs dark-skinned debate, that seems to come every year in the black community. Honestly, I found her answers to some of the question a little unsettling, for lack of better word. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the main issue I have with Jackie’s answers during the interview, is that she tends to distance her own complexion from the term dark. She really avoids answering the question regarding her own personal issues or battles with her complexion. Even Doug Christie talks about his issues growing up bi-racial and learning to except being lighter. I know shade is in the eye of the beholder, but I wonder if Jackie had ever has issues with being brown. BUT, on the other hand, I appreciate that Jackie acknowledges that she has two daughters on both ends of the color spectrum, and talks about how beautiful both of her daughters are in regards to their skin color. It’s nice to hear Jackie say that Ta’kari is beautiful, too.
I know a lot dark skinned girls that have major issues with their skin tone, and I feel unfortunate for them because I think it’s a beautiful color. Dark skin is gorgeous and beautiful.
And when I met him [Doug] people were like, ‘Oh my God, you’re going to be with a white boy.’ I was like OK, anything lighter than my color is white.
I guess from watching Basketball Wives LA, I no longer get these sense that Jackie is as comfortable in her skin, and she leads on. In case you can’t watch the video above, check out what Jackie says about the beauty of both her daughters when you continue.
How could anyone forget little Jonathan Lipnicki? Jonathan starred along side Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. in the 1996 movie blockbuster “Jerry Maguire”. How long did we say “Show me the money!”?
Little Jonathan was just 6 years old at the time. This past weekend, he celebrated his 21st birthday. I’m trying very hard NOT to feel old hearing that. He was adorable then…but it’s pretty hot now! Check him out, after the jump…
Singer Mya was on scene at club Mansion in Miami Beach celebrating her 32nd birthday with The 400 Club and the Birdman. If you want to get Mya’s color-block look, Yakini from Style Me Prissy breaks down Mya’s South Beach look.
Mya color-blocked in a $120 green and blue “Visibly Jess” dress by LV23, pink platform heels, and a pretzel necklace by FUSCHA (similar to the Onch Movement pretzel necklace Nicki Minaj wore to the Prabal Gurung Spring 2012 Show during New York Fashion Week).
Oh ok. I think our wishes for new Justin Timberlake music might have gotten mixed up somewhere. Remember when we gave you guess a listen at the some new Justin “panty drop” music? Welp. Justin recently tweeted the video for a new group signed to his upstart label Tennman Records. FreeSol is their name and they’re a hip-hop, rock and soul infused band from Memphis, Tennessee.
While the song is actually not too bad, I have to give JT a HARSH *side eye* for this rap thing he’s doing in the beginning. Yes. He’s rapping. And not only that…he kind of takes a jab at Janet Jackson, yet again. Peep the lyrics and video, after the jump…

Last week, pictures surfaced the internet showing Kris Humphries moving some boxes and a suitcase without his wedding ring, and immediately the divorce rumors started. Well Kim Kardashian and husband, Kris Humphries were spotted at club Marquee in Las Vegas, celebrating Kim Kardashian’s 31st birthday, along with the rest of the Kardashian clan, including Lamar Odom. You can see from the pictures below that the break-up rumors are just plain false. Although I’m not sure how long this union will last, I definitely didn’t think it was over that fast. Is it me or does Kim Kardashian celebrate her birthday all round?
BTW, Khloe and Lamar Odom are still together, too. Just one big happy Kardashian-Jenner-Odon-Humphries family. More pics… Read More Here…
If you haven’t noticed, MrsGrapevine.com has added a new writer to the blog and her name is Ms Toni. Who is this Ms Toni? Well she is a fellow blogger at Dear World…Love Toni, where she writes humorous letters to celebrities with a few witty suggestions to enhance their lives. So that you can get a sense of Ms Toni’s writing style, I have decided to ask her a few questions. Questions we all just need to know!
1. Chocolate or Vanilla, Men or Women, Tupac or Biggie
Chocolate because I’m convinced it was made with a sprinkle of heaven, men because I can’t live without em and Tupac because my East Coast blood demands it.
2. Ms Toni likes her man in boxers or briefs?
Hmmm…put those things together! Boxer briefs for the win!!
