WTF OF THE WEEK

Looking at these prom dresses, you can help but thinkg "WTF?!?!"...do they have no class????

Taking Out the Trash

Just your weekly reminder that NOBODY'S perfect...see even Jennifer Love Hewitt looks frumpy taking out the trash...now give yourself a big hug!!!

Public Enemy #1

Well last night it seemed it was "The Real World" vs. Greg...I mean, we all know that I love Greg, but damn, he was messing up in last night's episode...Let's recap, shall we?

• Sarah's lame brain bf Ryan comes to the house to visit, and has the audacity to have an attitude about meeting Will...let's not forget that Sarah has been just as flirtacious w/ Will as he's been with her.
• Greg and Dave bring some hoes back to the house (or what I like to call "trollups")...of course Kim gets mad that Dave has the hots for one of them (he dissed her offer to take a shower w/ Kim to get in the hot tub w/ Greg and the naked broads)...Kim, Sarah and Brianna decide to go make fun of the girls...this pisses Greg off b/c he feels they are cockblocking...he goes and opens the door to Sarah's bedroom where she is cuddling in the bed with her bf....this leads to Sarah getting pissed and confronting Greg...Greg curses her and calls her all kinds of names....Ryan finally brings his punk self out of the room to "defend" his gf (if that's what you would call that weak attempt)
• Greg has an "associate" named Reva...Brianna tries to tell Reva she should be careful when dealing with Greg...this pisses Greg off...meanwhile Reva's ass has the hots for Will...when they're all at the club one night Will and Reva kiss on the dance floor...Greg sees this but like a dummy decides to ignore it and invites Reva over to the house...now Reva, with her skankalicious self, goes up to the confessional room with Will and proceeds to "give him h**d*...Greg's going all through the house looking for her, finally he opens the door to the confessional room but Will closes it back...when Reva finally comes downstairs she insists that she didn't do anything with Will...either Greg is completely oblivious or he is trying to save face b/c he chooses to believe her lie...WHAT A HOE!!!

The people in this damn house are OFF THE CHAIN...they are always keeping up mess...looks like next week they'll be another big altercation....and it may get physical....gosh they are a HOT MESS...but I love it!!!

Headed for Splitsville?

Uh oh...looks like Usher and Tameka Foster are calling it quits...Word is that Usher has filed for separation...the couple have only been together for 9 months now...No word on whether or not Usher will make an official announcement

Persia & Saul: Real Life Romance

She might be a free spirit on "Girlfriends" but in real life Persia White has tied the knot. White and Saul Williams married on his birthday February 29th. Williams played White's bf Sivad on the show in 2003. Big congrats go to them.

50 vs. Rocsi

50 Cents is calling Rocsi from "106th & Park" out...the rapper called in to 93.9 WKYS yesterday

and basically said Rocsi is a ho...back when 50's album dropped Rocsi called it "garbage" on the red carpet...so 50 is putting Rocsi on front street...saying she's hating just because he wouldn't sleep with her and that she's slept with four people he knows...watch the video of Rocsi dissing 50 and listen to the audio from 50's interview:

J Hud in the City

So we're all super excited about "Sex and the City" the movie hitting theaters next Friday, May 30th...but what's more exciting is seeing JenniferHudson in another movie role. Sarah Jessica Parker shares why J Hud was picked to play the role of her assistant:

“First of all we needed to have a 20-year-old in this movie; we really have to remember that there is a significant audience now that are very, very young. “It’s a great way of reminding people who Carrie was when she came to New York; what was New York, what did it mean to her…And African-American women and women of color have been a big part of our audience for a long time (and) we really haven’t been responsible to them.”

Hope she did as good of a job as she did in "Dreamgirls"

Black's Risque Photos

Black from "Flavor of Love 3" is not letting her defeat stop her from getting "exposure"...check out these pics of the Flavorette (keep in mind these are a couple of the less racy ones):whoa...maybe she's sending these to Playboy.

Flav's Got a "Thing"

And the winner is...Thing 2!!! On Monday night's season finale of "Flavor of Love 3" Flav decides to go for his lovely "Thing 2"...LOL...saying that he has more of a "connection" with her and more "chemistry" with Black...which to many people is the same thing, but whatever...It will be very surprising if on next week's reunion Thing 2 and Flav are still together...meanwhile check out this interview with Thing 2 about the show and what she's been doing since the show's taping has been over:

Pulling the Plug on MTB Tour?

The Making the Band Tour may not be making the cut...word is nearly half of the MTB Tour shows have been cancelled (that includes the first two shows). Are people already tired of Danity Kane and Day 26??? What you gonna do Diddy?

"I Put On" by Young Jeezy ft. Kanye West

Definitely feeling this one...Kanye's verse is especially hot...check it out!

Rolling through "The Hills"

Now to the girls I love to hate...somehow "The Hills" stars, Heidi, Audrina, Lauren and Whitney weaseled their way onto the cover of this month's "Rolling Stone" magazine...can someone tell me what they did to justify them being this month's cover girls?!?!...Geez, I'm addicted to that show...why???...the world may never know.

Making News: Savannah Style Update

So I found an article that is somewhat referencing the show you'll se me in starting June 4...Below is an article on the New York Daily News website about how there TV news jobs are hard to hold on to, mentioning some of my co-workers you'll see in "Making News: Savannah Style"

A Desperate Time Warp

OMG...Sunday's season finale of "Desperate Housewives" was almost too much for me to handle!!! So the whole episode kept me tuned in but it was the ending that caught me by surprise...the show jumped to five years later.

At the end of the two hour finale viewers got a few shockers...Gabby and Carlos apparently have two small girls and she has let herself go lookwise...Bree is a suit-wearing businesswoman and has reconcile with her hit and run husband, Orson...Lynette and Tom's twin boys are worst than ever, wreaking havoc...Katherine's daughter Dylan is in Paris and is engaged...and the most surprising of all is Susan has some new live-in boo who is so NOT Mike.

If you want to find out more about the changes check out this article from "USA Today":

Meet the Cheapskates

As though we needed another reason to dislike Heidi and her grimy bf Spencer, here's yet another one...THEY'RE CHEAP...word is that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were at an L.A. restaurant with some friends last night...ran up a $783 bill...and when they tipped the waiter, left a measly $16...REALLY?!...camera crews were with them at the time and after the two left the waiter went up and complained about the less than sufficient tip to the producer, who gave him another $60 to compensate for the penny pinching pair...classic.

It's Pimpin' Pimpin'

Soooo...last night I went to see Katt Williams' "It's Pimpin' Pimpin" tour with the bf at Philips Arena and I must say that it was GREAT! My friend Memory had already seen it in Savannah and told me she enjoyed it too. Needless to say EVERYONE was running late...regardless of race...black, white, asian...whoever...We didn't get inside until 8:30 (the show was supposed to start at 8) and the host was still doing his jokes. And of course there was some of the WORST outfits that I've ever seen out last night...don't even get me started...my people never let me down.

Anyways Katt did a fantastic job...I mean I would go see the show again...but that's just my opinion...here's a clip of him doing some jokes about politics at one of his other shows:



So Simply Cookie was one of the opening acts. Don't let her age fool you either. She did a good job..."With the price of Gas?!" (you had to be there)...She had on that jean outfit though, lol, what you know about that?!
Some of ya'll might have seen Leslie perform before. She was the other opener and she was TOO HILARIOUS. She even went down in the audience and messed with some people. My favorite joke she did was about how girls have a "posse"...I put a clip of her doing the joke on Def Comedy Jam:
