Vh1 DIVAS 2012 To Honor Whitney Houston
No word on who’s performing, yet, but Vh1 DIVAS 2012 will feature a star-studded tribute to the late, great Whitney Houston. Disappointed with the way The Grammys honored Whitney, Vh1 has something really special planned for the true diva, but they are keeping most of the details under wrap. The 2012 DIVAS will air in December, and as soon as more information is available we will let you know. I hope they get Adele and someone, anyone who can actually sing LIVE.

Arie were all in attendance to at the star-studded symposium, Intimate Conversations with Greatness. The goal of the symposium according to Coach Beverly Kearney, who has been honored by BET and CNN for her excellence in education, is to give students an opportunity to understand the hard work that goes into being successful:
…annual mentorship program, which encourage real-life reality as it relates to our speakers sharing how they transitioned through failure to success. Our students need the truth of struggle to success – not just the glitz and glamor.
Check out a few pics of celebs doing positive things and looking good doing it. I giggled when I saw LeToya Luckett and Michelle Williams on stage, I bet they have a lot in common

On Location: Gabrielle Union Awarded ‘Lexus Pursuit Of Perfection’ In Dallas At Verses & Flow
Last night, Lexus held the Verses & Flow Live private event in Dallas, a unique event that was created to honor talented up and coming music artists and spoken word poets. I had the pleasure of being on location for this event and snapped a few pics along the way! The MC for the event was comedianne Ebony Steele, co-host of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show. The highlight of the evening came when Lexus presented their 2012 Lexus Pursuit Of Perfection award to this year’s recipient, actress Gabrielle Union.
Recorded words of congratulations were shown, from actor Hill Harper, who was last year’s recipient, and Gabrielle‘s boyfriend NBA star Dwyane Wade (who sang a small bit of Vesta‘s Congratulations for Gabrielle, eliciting AWWWWWWs from the women in the crowd). During her acceptance speech, Gabrielle talked about the murder of Trayvon Martin, saying that she has had difficulty sleeping and forgetting the cries for help Trayvon made during the 911 phone call. As an avid activist in the fight against breast cancer, Gabrielle accepted her award on behalf of “those who continue to fight”, whether it be for justice, for cancer research or for life. There was also a performance by up & coming artist Luke James! Check out LOTS more pictures from the event and see if Lexus will bring Verses & Flow to your city, when you continue… Continue Reading →

84th Academy Awards: Viola Goes Natural; Esperanza Spalding Charms; Silence Speaks Volume; Octavia Spencer WINS!!!
If you missed last night’s 84th Academy Awards, more famously known as the Oscars, here’s a brief recap of the highlights. Octavia Spencer wins an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. It’s a wondrous moment, as she nearly faints when her name is called. Spencer accepts the award with humor and tears, thanking the the cute guy who escorted her onto the stage. I can’t say she’s a better actress than Viola Davis, but if you’ve seen The Help, you know that Minnie (played by Spencer) owns the movie.
Speaking of Viola Davis, she looks amazing as she walks down the red carpet. I am so proud that she walks the red carpet for the highest honor in film, as her beautiful natural self. Davis misses the Best Actress nomination to Meryl Streep. Oddly, I think it’s an honor to be in the company of Meryl Streep, who is probably the best actor of our day. When Meryl Streep’s name is announced, Continue Reading →
