Gay Men Got Spirit...Random Stuff I Found on Youtube!

WNBA Brawl!!!

Candace Parker has been the talk of the WNBA for a minute but she hasn't gotten this much press. I love how Lisa Leslie...she definitely has some wisdom over those other girls.

It's That Time of Year Again...Time for Diddy to Shamelessly Exploit Some More People!

Diddy is on a quest for find an assistant but it's Diddy this assistant is going have to go the extra mile plus some. The promotional trailer is already out and Diddy even maintained to find the first ever African American transexual contestant! A Black tranny, probably a couple of walks to Brooklyn, guest appearances and somebody going to the hospital...Diddy is sure to have high rates. Check out the trailer!

Somebody's Got Cute Baby-itis

Is it just me or does every male member of a professional sports association has got cute babyitis? I was watching Part III: The Black Man of CNN's Black in America the other night and when Michael Eric Dyson touched upon colorism in within the Black community. When I came across these pictures I knew colorism was alive, well and feasting in Hollywood. Seems like all the men in the NBA, NFL and in Hollywood have "Cute Baby-itis," I guess the figured that if they marry light skin women their children will be cute; (Light skin and curly hair don't make your baby cute!)

Elizabeth Gets Emotional Again!!!

So this morning on The View the women discussed the N-Word and of course, outspoken and sometimes naive Elizabeth Hasselback puts her two cents in about the topic...bad idea (sometimes we just need to shut our mouths and this was a good time to start.) Anyways, first, Elizabeth asked when it is acceptable for people to use this word (Girl, never, you are Caucasian!) Sherri Shepherd butts in says she uses it the word and no one can stop her. And of course in classic Hasselback fashion she finds a way to bring her children into every conversation. tries and prove her point by saying, Well, how do you explain this to children?" (Girl, this is not about your kids...you're the one with the question!) In short, Whoopi served Hasselback up one hell of a rebuttal that left Elizabeth in tears.

Watch the clip....

No Girl...That Sack- Religion!

J.D. Mason went too far...You Gotta Sin to Get Saved that's ridiculous!!!

T.I. Still Working!!!

Here's T.I.'s new single off his upcoming album. T.I. is the only rapper I know who is on house arrest and still releasing albums... that's a hard working man for y'all.

Newest Honorary member of Alpha Kappa Sorority Incroporated

On Monday, July 14, 2008, theYBF.com reported that Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated had extended an invitation to Senator Barack Obama's wife, Michelle Obama, as a honorary member of the organization. The presidential hopeful's wife will be accepting the title as honorary member at the organization 100th year celebration in Washington D.C. On Tuesday, Michelle Obama also announced that she signed a "non-exclusive" contract with the organization allowing her to not only be a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha but any other historically black sorority.

Wendy Williams Part Two

So Fox gave Wendy Williams her own show. I wish them all the best...let hope she does pull what she did on the Today Show... take a look for yourself.



This is a clip from Wendy's new television show...

Day 26- Since You Been Gone

This group is probably the most successfully out of the Diddy camp...they made it to single #2!!! But my question now is I thought Diddy put these boys through a rigorous bootcamp of dieting and exercise...why does it look like Mike put all his weight back on plus some. I still love y'all!

Keri Hilson- Energy

Solange- Wanna Go Back featuring Q-Tip and Marsha from Floetry

Beyonce's little, Solange, is really doing big things... The new album, Sol AngeL and the Hadley St. Dreams is actaully good. I really commend Solange for stepping outside the box. This was one of the recently leaked tracks from the album.

Also, check out Solange, Keri Hilson and Teyana Taylor on the cover of Rap Up... looking absolute marvelous!

Mr. West, Mr. Bentley & Mr. 3000

Kanye West, Fonzworth Bentley and Andre 3000 have teamed to create a super-group. If I were their management I would call them, Cocky, Dapper and Daring. Funny thing about this union is that it actually works...I'm feeling it.

Police Get Out of Hand!!!

Two police officers pull over a bus to tackle a gay Black woman for flipping them the bird. I thought it was a free country...since when did flipping people off equate to being physical harassed and public humiliated? It's one thing to be Black while dealing with police but she was black and gay...that a double whammy. We all need to pray for her. Don't you just love the criminal justice system, they punish you even you didn't do anything.

Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys

OK, everyone Tyler Perry is coming out with a new movie, "The Family That Preys" (no I did not spell prays wrong it is preys.) I don't know what Mr. Perry has got up his selves but I am very interested in what this movie is all about. Looks like he traded in a couple of his bad actors for some veterans. This movie may actually earn so acclaim outside of the Black community! I'm not knocking Mr. Perry I love that he is doing what he loves whiles actually promoting positive Black images but his movies really suffered from some bad acting and bad sequencing.

The new movie features: Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard, Sanaa Lathan, Robin Givens (that's definitely a blast from the past), Rockmond Dunbar, Taraji Henson and of course Tyler Perry.

Italian Vogue Goes All Black

It's about time the world figured out that Black beauties do it best. Black models are exotica, intriguing and absolutely stunning that why the July 2008 issue of Italia Vogue is featuring all black models. Even the New York Times did a huge feature piece on the groundbreaking event and people are searching high and low for the issue.

Unfortunately, all that banter has left local Barnes & Nobles answers demands for the issue and even three weeks after the issue hit news stand all over the world, people are still awaiting copies. Those who were able to nab one of the first copies saw the likes of Jourdan Dunn, Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks and even Tocarra!

Although, this was the first all-Black issue, it didn't live up to what it should have. Instead of tastefully portraits and glamorous shots of Black beauties, the issue was plastered with tactless shots of Naomi and hypersexual images of Tocarra. The idea of an all-Black issue would lead one to believe that every complexion would be represent but yet again the fashion world has let us down by leaving out the chocolate beauties instead opting a latte to caramel complexion models. "The other side of the pond" has let Blacks down once again. First, Paris puts Josephine Baker on stage topless with a banana skirt now, they put Naomi in Vogue topless with high-waisted pants.
It was just another example of the fashion industry exploiting African American models.

2008 ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL

Black Stars came out to enjoy the music in New Orleans but it all came to a close Sunday

Roland Martin, Bill Cosby and the unofficial ambassadors of the festival were in attendance, Tom Joyner and his wife, Donna Richardson.
Solange (Baby B) was there promoting her new album.
Patti's legs are on point. Black don't crack or sag! lol!

Patti LaBelle performed with both, Chrisette Michelle and LaBelle.


Philly was well represented...Jill Scott graced the stage.
And Musiq Soulchild did his thing, too.

Keyshia Cole was there too...hopefully her performance was better than the BET Awards.
Matthew Knowles is not playing...he is now managing Trinitee 5:7 and Lyfe Jennings.

I really like Malaak and Chric Rock but who in the world sat that wig on Malaak's head like that. She looks like a Black Dolly Parton; next time let's just stick with that ole' slick back into a ponytail.


Mary J. Blige put on a great performance, of course! But Mary 's outfit look like a throwback from the Mary album. It s tipping the scale on tacky... the snakeskin boots. I still love ya, Mary!Estelle was trying to be glam.


Raheem DeVaughn serenaded the crowd with his hits.


Avant and Rapheal Saadiq were there too. And Darrin Henson popped out of no where. Bet you ten dollars he was poppin' and lockin' all over the place. lol! Even Dwele was there in his stunna shades.


















And it just wouldn't be the Essence Music Festival without Frankie Beverly featuring Maze and Morris Day and The Time.
