Walmart only selling Whitney Houston Online?

Lifestyle
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="425" caption="Walmart is EVIL! "][/caption] I don't typically visit Perez Hilton, however someone linked me to his site, where he had an article about Wal-mart only selling Whitney Houston's cd online but selling Miley Cyrus (same day release)  in  stores.I don't really care so much because I'm so avid Whit fan, but I think Wal-Mart is a hypocritical company. I try not to support them at all cost. Does that sound harsh? Did you hear what Wal-Mart did to Debbie Shank. I remember reading about her a year or so ago. Debbie was a Wally World employee and got injured in an accident. Naturally as an employee for a major corporation she was enrolled in their health plan. Wally World shelled out about 470, 000 in medical…

UP Close and TOO personal with Trey Songz

Lifestyle
I was on facebook yesterday and someone posted this link to an interview with Trey Songz. I happen to like T. Songz (007-11 if you're familiar with the Ocean's 7 crew) but not in a crazed fan kinda way. There were mixed reviews on the facebook like about the interview with Honey Mag, some felt he let too much out in the interview. I disagree. This is the stuff that his fans want to know. SO, here are some highlights: Let's jump right in it. You are a proud supporter of porn? Yeah. I think porn is cool. Any recommendations? Any recommendations on porn? Go to 4228, xxx.videos.com and freeporn.com. I don’t visit them frequently, but that's three different sites. How could you go wrong? You prefer free over paying?…

HELP!! Must Find these shoes!!

Lifestyle
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UDcBiw-Ock I have been scouring the internet for days trying to find the shoes Monica is wearing in this video. She is rocking them around the 1:30 point, and they are phenomenal. I see a super high heel with a platform. MUST HAVE! On one blog a commenter said they were by a brand called Marni, so I began a search for them, but came up with nothing. I may not be able to afford them, but the shoe whore inside me needs to know who made them & how much they cost, can you help??? OH & I do like this song off Keyshia Cole's 3rd cd, A Different ME. Monica can blow and I can't wait for her CD. I've always been a Mo fan...

Amerie, is that you?

Lifestyle
I like, borderline love, Amerie. Loved her 1st album, All I Have and Touch wasn't too bad either. I am always sad that she isn't blowing up the charts. It bothers me more when people say she can't sing (which I think she can) when people like Rihanna and Cassie continue to be on their most played list and we all know they are no talent hags... But we know we can't listen to other people because, well some say Queen Bey can't sing, and that girl can blow. She just needs to make real music. Anyway, here's some Amerie called "Dear John", what you think? Me... I like it. I want Amerie to do her thing. Why should she let her barely released 3rd album (that I have) stop…

I had an Epiphany, and it was GREAT! Chrisette Michele Album Review

I had an Epiphany, and it was GREAT! Chrisette Michele Album Review

Lifestyle
Chrisette Michele's new album Epiphany drops tomorrow, May 5th and I want you all to know what your getting into before you click purchase in iTunes. I loved her first album and I loved her when I saw her in concert, so I was really looking forward to this new cd. I can't say I'm disappointed with her sophomore effort, but this album is very different than her first one, and that isn't a bad thing. I AM, her debut cd was, in my opinion, full of positive songs. I mean I loved Be Ok, Let's Rock, Like a Dream, Is this the way, and Good Girl. There weren't too many songs that made you think of relationships/men in a bad way and I really thoroughly enjoyed it. But this…

Lifestyle
Happy  Hump Day Lovers! I hope all is well out there in the world. Here are some things for you to laugh & gawk at today!Please enjoy your day, and try to make someone else smile :) Left or  Right? -- OK, I stared at this for probably 5 minutes trying to see how I can reverse the directions of the damn figure. And why the hell does that thing look like Beyonce to me. Bey needs to fall back! Kanye's So Amazing Video - Definitely one of my favorite songs on the album. Video is cool too! I used to be a Jeezy fanwhen he first dropped. Go Crazy was my JAM that summer. Its obvious that him & Kanye have good studio chemistry (NO HOMO!!!!!) LOL The Lost…

Kid Cudi –> my New Music Crush

Lifestyle
I have a new music crush. For those that don't know a music crush is when I think someone's music is totally dope & want to hear all of it! Some of my current and former music crushes include: Kanye West, Teedra Moses, Beyonce (at one point in time, god I was young! lol), Maroon 5, Lupe Fiasco, Vivian Green, & Raheem Devaughn to just name a few. My music crush is Kid Cudi. I had heard of Kid Cudi a few months ago, my friend was all in hoopla over the song Day & Night ft. Jim Jones. Since I hate everything Jim Jones I refused to listen, but then later I heard Day & Night without him (Jones) and I loved it. But, I still didn't pay Cudi…

Has Kelly Rowland Really Been Dropped by Columbia?

Lifestyle
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="280" caption="Kelly Rowland"][/caption] Rumor Mills are buzzing that Columbia Records dropped Kelly Rowland because she was no longer, "commercially viable" or whatever that means. This is following her firing Matthew Knowles as her manager a few months ago. I think that this is probably the best thing for Kelly.  I like Kelly, sometimes, but at other times I just feel she is corny.  I think her music dilemma is because of Matthew Knowles. I have noticed that many artist, i.e. Sunshine Anderson, who have been signed to Music  World flop. I believe that Matthew's top priority is Beyonce and other artists under his fold are bound to fail. I think Kelly, like LeToya (who's album I loved and look forward to her next), needs to take time…

The Dream vs. J Holiday: Which album reigns supreme?

Lifestyle
Ok.  I really tried to like The Dream cd.  I enjoyed his first (and I would never say this to anyone) but I was waiting for his second cd.  Man, am I disappointed.  And I feel like the only one, since everyone is boasting about how great this cd is. But I'm sitting there like WHAT cd are THEY listening to? There are maybe like 1 or 2 songs I like, others I'm staring  atwith confusion.  What the hell is this Take you home to mama" crap? And Put it Down? Who says this on a song: " If they ask you do I dance like Chris? Tell them No But as much rubbing as we do I could start a fire"  I'm sorry, what? On the track Sweat it…

Radio Killer

Lifestyle
I always tell everyone that I don't listen to the radio because it sucks.  Well, its true.  Lately I've been letting the alarm radio run while I get ready for work in the mornings. I've been listening to  Ed Lover and his crew's  morning show on Power 105.1 fm and I enjoy it when they are talking. It's the music that kills me.  The radio runs from 7:05 am to 8:05 am and in that hour, Monday through Friday, I hear the same 5 songs.  What the hell, with all the music out there, you can only play 5 songs during this hour? The songs usually are: 1.  Usher - Trading Places: I liked this song until I was forced to listen to it daily.  Now I just want you…

Beyonce: 2 new videos!

Lifestyle
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsYHsLq_09M Beyonce's album is still on my I'm not quite sure if I like it list. Some songs stand out, but others don't. I like 'Smash into You' , 'Broken-hearted Girl', 'Why Don't You Love Me' (from the Japanese bonus version). Ones I'm not sure about are 'Ego', 'Hello' and 'Satellites'. I did have high hopes for Beyonce, I miss the Dangerously in Love Beyonce. That was a classic album. Now, I said in this post that Beyonce could do better than songs like "Diva" or if I didn't say it I definitely thought it. I do NOT like this song in the least bit. So, when I saw still images of the video a few weeks ago I was thinking maybe the video will make me like this song,…

Britney Spears: America Loves a Comeback!

Britney Spears: America Loves a Comeback!

Fashionable
In case anyone cares (I don't really but I just needed to blog about something; and this was semi-interesting and I got to say that America Loves a comeback) in some super miracle of miracles Britney Spears debuted her new album Circus at Number 1. Now, its not enough to be number 1 for the sake of being number one, she sold 500,000+ copies in her first week, coming just under Taylor Swift for 2008s biggest debut. She even outsold Sasha Fierce's first week... This, along with the great success of Mariah Carey's Emancipation of MiMi, really does show that we as Americans love a comeback. This is why everyone wants Michael Jackson to get it together. But back to Brit Brit. I can't even pretend that I didn't catch…

The Beep Stops Here Bobby Valentino!

Lifestyle
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP6yErksmR0 The other night I was catching up on my VH1 Soul, seeing new music videos that I haven't seen online. While watching, Bobby Valentino, or Bobby V as he apparently wants to be known as, had a video come on, titled "Beep." This song and video are just all types of wrong. Well, not the whole video, just parts where I can see that Bobby V has this weird tail like thing on the back of his head, reminiscent of the '90s. I mean seriously-a tail? I was watching in anticipation to catch it, to see what it was, because I saw it initially on a silhouette. I was like what is that! So I kept waiting anxiously for his head to turn, and when it finally did happen…

Super Tuesday!!!

Lifestyle
It is no secret that I am Beyonce fan and that I'm also an avid Eric Jerome Dickey fan. So today is like Christmas being that his new book and her new album come out. I heard an advance of the Beyonce cd which I mentioned before, but I'm going to give it another whirl and listen to the Deluxe version with 2 additional Japanese bonus tracks. I have faith in her ability, and it doesn't hurt that I saw an AOL video clip where she seemed excited about her "risks" in this work. My qualm with this is that Beyonce said that she was inspired by her work on the film Cadillac Records, where she portrays a feisty Etta James. If anyone remembers when B'Day came out Beyonce said…
