Gospel Singer Tonex Comes Out ....Its a start!!

Now I hope this opens the closet door for all the good DL gospel dudes to come out...wait there aint a closet big enough is there? lol

Gospel Singer Tonex Comes Out on 'The Lexi Show'

Soooo did you know Jay-Z was on Oprah?? So wait does that mean Oprah has a new respect for Hip Hop!??!?!?

Man I wish they would have advertised this half as much as Whitney. I thought Oprah's trip to Marcy was strickly for the magazine, but as usual I was wrong lol. Very interesting considering we all know Oprah aint one for the Hip Hop (a fact I try to ignore considering my love for Oprah). But as I dive deeper into the relationship btw Oprah and Hip Hop now I have questions now that she has let Jay-Z on her stage, but still no ICE CUBE.
1. Why wasnt Jay-Z a part of her 2 part Hip Hop town hall meeting? for that matter where were the ladies on that show?

2. Does Jay-Z get a pass to come on her show because of Beyonce or Obama?

3. And has she really listened to his lyrics (cuz if she did would she still approve of him being on the showing seeing that shes supposed to be against most of the things he references!!?!)

4. Will she really dive into Jay-Z's old crack dealing/killing the Black community days

PS
Should a rapper like Jay who sold crack to the community now give back to that community? And not just Jay shouldnt that law be made to all rappers who boast about their crack dealing past?

Well to be fair they address about 1 and a half of my questions...

If you have the time,compare Oprah's interview to Bill Mahr's. One thing I can say about the homie Bill is, at least he ASKS the quetions even if Jay one word answers them lol....next up Jay-Z the politician lol..

Atlanta's underwater!?!?!?

My old stomping ground (AUC love!) is under water and 6 people so far have died? Pay attention and call loved ones. I spent 4 great years of my life there (Clark Atlanta University) and it hurts to see it like this. Such big college town too. Still have a lot of friends there. Oh no gotta call DJ Drama (another CAU alumnist) Shoot as a matter of fact i gotta couple young folks in school down there!

Did you know a Young Black Man won the Powerball?

Hes the Youngest Person to ever win the Powerball!!

Ok so not recently, it was a year ago, but still....who knew!?!?!? Jay Vargas was 20 when he won $17 Million dollars! And no hes not spending it all on cars and houses (his words). He actually is producing his own TV show! I know!!!! Well there are naked chicks involved, but this time it actually makes a little sense (if that makes sense lol)? Anyway, found this story in USA Today

Soooo the next time somebody tries to tell you Rhianna cant sing

just be quiet and say..."youre right"! lol

Man I suck lol

I guess every since the bad news dropped, I havent been in a blogging mood. I apologize for that. It took me a few weeks to realize, lol, but its was truly an honor to be in the running for the DC gig and hey maybe everyone is right when they say that something better is meant for me. Plus there has been so much that I've wanted to share your and my thoughts on! And after all, everything truly happens for a reason soooo.... Movin on! And how about last week alone!?!?!? Im still catchin up! So mad I missed my cousin Whitney and my auntie Oprah last week! (even though I got more Whitney's in my family then Oprahs lol)

So if youre like me... lets catch up.....




And how come I didnt know about Mariah!?!?!? Yo and this was one of my favorite 80's songs!!! I wanna know what love isssssssss







But off to more importan things like my girl Nancy Pelosi is in Philly today...Biggups to Nancy for those looks she was giving Congess as the ignorance spewed toward MY President! Classic..





I guess you need reminders every once and again about how people REALLY think. Ive never seen such disrespect toward a President from Congress....not surprised though

And then there was Kanye...man he makes life as a Kanye fan hard, lol...dont he? Now how am I supposed to defend this? lol








Well luckily I dont have to because less then 24 hours later...Kanye appears..

Which by the way shout out to Simone who had me missing the premiere of the Jay Leno show because she argued us down that ABC wouldnt show "Dreamgirls" if NBC was showig Leno! WRONG SIMONE WRONG! Thank the Lord for HULU

Oh and speaking of "Dreamgirls", one of the ORIGINAL "Dreamgirs", Mrs. Sheryl Lee Ralph (Hughes) is throwing a really cool and classy event thats also serving as a fundraiser for Senator Hughes' campaign. I usually dont use this blog to promote politics, but Senator Huges and Ms Sheryl have been on the frontlines and planning for some really great community events that I have been a part of. Their commitment to HIV/AIDS awareness and testing is far beyond any other political couple in Philadelphia and is truly important and personal to me. So if you are an independent woman that has a few dollars to spend for more then a few great causes, here are the details!

PS

There wil be food, Salsa lessons, massages and some good girlfriends...

Speaking of Salsa, how about "Dancing With The Stars" premieres TONIGHT!??!?! And yes Im not afraid to say I am excited. Eventhough I should probably protest for what they did to Lil Kim last season! But Im moving on because I have got to see what hey put Macy Grey in!! And how Kelly Osborne starts melting off the pounds! Do it girl! Oh and I forgot about my girl and Spike Lee movie vet, Debi Mazar...oh and Mya. Cant wait to see how she's gonna try to put Tap Dance to a Salsa lol..Cuz you know she will lol...
