Nas & Kelis: SexTape, Infidelity, Domestic Violence!

Cotten Kandi — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 12:37:38 +0000

Things are definitely getting ugly in the Nas and Kelis divorce proceedings. Several months ago rumors surfaced that there was trouble bruding between the couple, the existence of a sex tape between Kelis and another rapper, Nas’ mistrust and anger toward Kelis. Then Kelis announces that she was pregnant and it seemes, at least for a while, that all was good in Nas and Kelis land. Not long after the couple seperates and Kelis filed for a divorce.

Now The Daily News is reporting that there may be more to the story. According to the news source Nas has been physically abusive toward Kelis.

It’s bad enough that Nas supposedly threw a glass of Patron in Kelis’ face before abandoning her at a London club, if all the sordid-but-juicy details about their split in The MOST!, Vibe’s new tabloid, are correct. But last week, Nas thought it was a classy idea to post photos of himself partying with groupies on Turks and Caicos— even as his estranged wife sat home, eight months pregnant. Nas’ rep didn’t return our call, and Kelis — who filed for divorce in April — had no comment. But on Thursday, the singer commented for herself on Twitter. “All the s— bag coward husbands and the less-than-impressive sluts unite! You can all go down in flames together! Hooray!”

Man, just when you think it couldn’t get any worst, it did.

On being a mom: I’m going to try to take them to school every morning — as much as I can. But there’s also a measure of independence. And obviously there will be times I won’t be able to drop them off at all. I like to be a presence in my kids’ school. I want to know the teachers; I want to know the other parents.
On her background: We like to joke that the South Side of Chicago is our Kennebunkport. . . . We learned in our household that there was nothing you couldn’t talk about and that you found humor in even some of the toughest times. I want to bring that spirit of warmth, openness, and stability to my task.
On her fashion choices: I love clothes. First and foremost, I wear what I love. That’s what women have to focus on: what makes them happy and what makes them feel comfortable and beautiful. If I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion.
On bringing Sasha and Malia along on trips: I’ve been grateful that my girls have been able to see parts of the country that I’m just seeing at the age of 44,” she says. “It’s not only seeing Paris, London, and Rome. It’s also the remote places . . . exposing them to what we hope all kids will have: a feeling that they are citizens of the world.” (quotes lifted from Citizen Sugar via Vogue.)

Vogue’s Editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley interviewed Michelle while famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. On the cover Michelle wore magenta silk sheath Jason Wu dress which showed off her toned arms.

Diddy dedicated his new fragrance “I Am King” to President-Elect Barack Obama, Muhammad Ali, and Martin Luther King Jr. In true Diddy fashion, Diddy positioned the clip as his James Bond audition tape. (FYI: Jamie Foxx also wants to be the first black James Bond. Let the competition begin!) “I Am King” will be sold exclusively at Macy’s this December. Anyhow, check out the mini-movie Diddy made in support of his latest scent.

First Lady-Elect Michelle Obama appeared on the December 1st edition of “Newsweek” magazine. Interviewed by Allison Samuels Observes, Michelle talked about wanting to change and knock down the stereotype of African-American women in America as the First Lady. The accompanying headline reads “The Meaning of Michelle.” Did anyone catch Barack and Michelle’s Barbara Walters interview on Wednesday night? Aren’t those two adorable?

Jordin Sparks collaborated with retail chain Wet Seal to debut her own holiday-themed dress collection which ranges from $30 to $50 according to Stylelist.

The “American Idol” winner had the following to say about her new fashion gig:

“I am so excited that Wet Seal and I have been able to create a line of clothing that will appeal to more girls than ever before. The holiday season is my favorite time of year, and I can’t wait to see girls look cute, feel good and celebrate in style.”

So far I like the black and pink prom-type dress showed in the photo collage that I made. Check out the full collection here.

Elections Highlights: Jesse Jackson Tears, The First Family, The American Dream Alive

MrsGrapevine — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:14:36 +0000

UPDATE: I guess my new response is that these tears are genuine, I was a little suspect, but I will give him the benefit of my doubt. After all, as revealed in the comments, he has seen a lot and been through a lot which helped this moment come true. Perhaps I’m biased because I got caught up in the campaign. So deep down inside, maybe he’s just happy for President Barack Obama, as well as his son, Jesse Jackson, Jr.

Question 1: Was Jesse Jackson tears genuine?

Now to move on from the negative. I feel like I’m the only one that notice the tears pooling in President Barack Obama’s eyes. It seems that every hug brought him one step closer to tears. It was a bittersweet moment knowing “Toot” wasn’t there to share it with him, I sensed a bit of sadness in his smile. This picture was taken while President Barack Obama was telling the crowd about the loss of his grandma, the night before his win.

Thank God, he has a strong beautiful black woman by his side. Michelle Obama loves him so much, the camera can’t even disguise it. Here is one moment that really captures the bond they share.

Next is our new First Family. I don’t think it could get anymore picture perfect than this. We are all realist, but we can dream, too. We know their will be lots of challenges ahead, but for this moment we are all “PROUD”. If you don’t feel it, then maybe you have been part of the problem all these years. To America’s Future…

Every since 9/11, I have had such a love for this country. That day reminded us all that we’re Americans first. After Election Night 2008, the words of the National Anthem carries on more meaning than before. “Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”

People are inspired all across this country, if you have a dream, now just may be the time to try. It’s time to tell your children think big. No, we all won’t make it, but you have a better chance if you try.

So I leave with tears. Whatever the reason last night, many people had a good cry. Oprah cried until her fake eyelashes fell off. I cried because my mother missed it, and I cried because my son lives it.

Give Jennifer Lopez A Break She Looks Great In A Bikini

MrsGrapevine — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:05:51 +0000

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…
