Miss Jones is played-OUT!!!

By Honeygrip
Looks like Hot 97 has finally had enough of Miss Jones. The word is that a transition is in the works and that within the next few weeks Miss Jones in the morning will be replaced by Big Boy in the Morning. A nationally syndicated morning show with the radio personality based out of L.A. Many of us have seen Big Boy and his crew through his T.V. appearances on shows like the "Surreal Life" and of course "Flava of Love". If you are like many N.Y.er's who enjoy Miss Jones greasy talk early in the A.M., Big Boy's show will be quite a watered let down.

A royal couple...

By Honeygrip
of freaks...lol. [I keed, I keed]
Will and Jada joined other A-list celebrities this past week to celebrate the 90th birthday of Nelson Mandela. This picture was taken at The 10th Annual White Tie and Tiara Ball to Benefit the Elton John Aids Foundation sponsored by Chopard. It was held in Sir Elton’s home in London. Will and Jada make a really fine looking couple and shoutout to them for lasting this long...

STill Fly!

By Honeygrip
Let's not get it twisted folks, the BET awards was a hot ass mess! But that is what you've come to except from the chitlin network. Alicia Keys' performance brought out the stars of the 90's girl groups era. Including SWV, TLC and Envogue [with original member Dawn Robinson in tow!!!] I was shocked at the shape SWV and TLC, But awed by the fact that EnVogue still got! Hot Dayum. Between them and Nia Long. I can't wait to see what my 40's look like....

D.L. Hughley was funny but Black people can't get with all that political shit.

BOO NIGGAS BOO!!!

A.O.B.T.D.: George Carlin

By Honeygrip
George Carlin passed away yesterday of sudden heart failure. “[The] Grammy-winning comedian whose career spanned more than 50 years, died of heart failure Sunday after being admitted to the hospital complaining of chest pains, a hospital spokesman said. He was 71."
Carlin like Richard Pryor was a comedic legend and was revered as one of the pioneers of the modern form of stand up comedy. One of his most popular bits was a brilliant monologue about the "Seven Words You can Never say on Television." Most of which I say about 700 times a day. :)
R.I.P.

Graduation Day:)

By Honeygrip
I know I have been M.I.A. but I've been busy with 5th grade graduation preparations. Now that this is done and summer has officially commensed- I am ready to take the blog world by storm-lol. Maaan, Who am I kidding??
Let me tell you--I walked in that ceremony today like Obama said. I clapped and smiled and got teary-eyed a couple of times- but at the end of it. I wanted to shout at these other parents to remind them that: It's ONLY the fifth grade!! Let's get serious people, we are off to a good start but let's keep these nigglets in their proper prospective! Jeez.
Anyways- I am very proud of my son, Nicholas and Congrats to any and all of the 2008!!!!! Graduates!!!!

Kind Of???

By Honeygrip
Kimora Lee Simmons revealed on the red carpet of the Cartier Love Bracelet Launch Event that she and her boo Djimon Honsou are "KIND OF" engaged. She was overheard:
“[When] asked if Honsou had given her an engagement ring, Simmons was equally forthcoming – and evasive. ‘Well, kind of,’ she said, ‘not quite.’”

Kind of? Huh? I guess Kimora will figure it out when she figures out the amounts of money she'll lose from Russell if they sever all ties and divorce...

BITCH PLEASE! What the hell does that mean?? I need Kimora to sit her ass down until she has something concrete to say...

Taking up my damn time....SMH!

If you squint your eyes real hard...

By Honeygrip
You can make out the cuteness of Usher V. Word is that Usher will feature his son in an upcoming Essence Magazine spread. I gotta say that Babies are the new Black! I cannot wait to see my little one when she arrives this summer. I am beyond anxious in my anticipation and preparation. Usher's boy is cute! I think he looks like Usher- but it's hard to tell... :\.

50 Cent vs. BM: the Saga Continues

By Honeygrip
These two are getting on my nerves more than Bigga. "The War of the Ghetto Roses" continues. First 50 Cent clapped Young Buck by releasing a private phone conversation. NOW comes word that he is siccing his lawyers all over his big mouth BM Shaniqua Thompkins...
“There comes a point where you can no longer sit on your hands and listen to her spread these falsehoods,” 50’s lawyer, Brett Kimmel, tells us. “Besides hurting his reputation, they have a damaging impact on their son.”
The hip-hop king (real name, Curtis Jackson) charges that since the fire, Tompkins has refused to let him see Marquise or tell him where he’s living.
Tompkins has “made it practically impossible” for 50 to speak to or see his son, according to a petition filed this week in Suffolk County Family Court.
50 says that when he learned Marquise’s cell phone was destroyed in the fire, he sent him a new one, along with a duffle bag of new clothes.
Tompkins has “failed and refused to give the cell phone to Marquise,” 50 alleges. “The only way [50] can communicate with his son is to call [Tompkins’] cell phone. On June 11 … [she] did permit [50] to speak with his son. However … she was hovering over Marquise, monitoring the conversation and, after a short while, she interrupted the conversation by taking the phone from Marquise and began yelling at [50],” who eventually hung up on her.

Shaniqua- has got to be the biggest donkey of the year!!! If our justice system has taught us anything it's that he who has the biggest bank account-controls the law. Too bad Marquis is old enough to understand all this fuckery going on around him because of the adults in his life.
Now all this mess is a DAMN SHAME!!!

She-Rih?!

By Honeygrip
Rihanna appeared on 106 & Park yesterday wearing these contraptions on her feet. I'm not sure how I feel about them yet. So give me a minute to figure them out...They are reminding me a wee bit of She-Ra.

BUSTED: Young Jeezy

By Honeygrip
Young Jeezy -- aka Jay Jenkins -- was driving in ATL after having his brand new, just purchased Corvette washed when the car's temporary tags had fallen off and cops pulled him over. Damn, what Luck?! Anyway he was arrested and cited. I would have cited him for an offensive peanut head but I am no officer. So, what do I know?

Cry Baby...

Sorry, ya'll I have been losing my mind. I got a call from a friend about a celebrity sighting for my blog and I remembered just then....Oh shit! My blog... Dayum!

I swear to God, I could careless about some of the goings on in the world right now, much less the fuckery that his hip hop. But anyways- that's not what I'm here for...

Anyways- 50 cent has released a tape of a private conversation between him and a whimpering Young Buck. Seems Buck was fretting over the disconnect in the G-Unit family and BEGGED 50 to let him back into the fold and out from under mounting financial debt. Some real Godfather shit. Unfortunately, these fools haven't learned that 50 is all about destroying niggas careers. SIGH, poor Young Buck.

Nuff Said!

I must admit that I was a Clinton fan. But I've come to realize it's time for a change. If you haven't already registered to vote. PLEASE DO SO! And once that is done, please take the time to research the candidates and vote. It's time to make a change and raise our expectations.

Obama '08.

BUSTED: Shante Broadus

By Honeygrip
Shante Broadus- Wife of Calvin" Snoop Dogg" Broadus was arrested for a DUI this weekend. Insert your own Gin & Juice joke here. This sexy ass mugshot slayed me. I can't even come up with a zinger for this mess. Proactiv anyone?! TMZ Reports:
"The wife of Grammy-nominated rap artist Snoop Dogg was arrested in Fullerton early Saturday on suspicion of drunk driving, police said. Shante Broadus, 32, was stopped by police near Highland and Orangethorpe avenues about 12:15 a.m. and arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, said Fullerton Police Lt. Craig Brower. Broadus, a resident of Sherman Oaks, was taken to Fullerton City Jail, where she was booked, issued a citation to appear in court and released, Brower said. He said Broadus would appear in court next month. Brower could not comment on why officers stopped Broadus, the vehicle she was driving or whether other people were in the vehicle."

It seems like when ever a minor celebrity ventures into the reality TV show realm the REALity really sets in. SMH!

Yeah, Yeah-Happy Father's Day...

By Honeygrip
Oh yeah, I forgot it's father's day. Shout out to all the father's who actually do their part. I used a photo of Cliff Huxtable to illustrate the model of a "good black father" cause other than this idea- I can't say I really have one. :/ Anyways- I hope everyone has called or sent a little father's day love to the man who helped make them possible. Happy Father's Day!

Don't even think about it!

By Honeygrip
For those of you, lucky few, who will be invited to my baby shower in August. DON'T YOU DARE BRING THESE THINGS!!! I can't...I just can't. Damn the inventor of some infant high heels....Infant high heels??? Heelarious Heels high heels are advertised as “extremely funny, completely soft, fully functional high heel crib shoes for babies” NO THANK YOU. There will be no release of my daughter's inner tranny.

Jim Jones vs. The MAN...

Hot 97's summer jam went on a few weeks ago and of course- there was some sort of DRAMA. Turns out that after the Dip Set Performance, when they were headed back to the dressing room some random idiot was taking pictures of the entourage. When one of Jones' bodyguards approached the idiot and told him to stop he proceeded to pull out his GUN... Nevermind the fact that the idiot was white and a UNDERCOVER COP! Well needless to say hilarity ensued. Watch the video here!

Something New...

By Honeygrip
Keyshia Cole showed up at Alexis' "If looks could kill event" as well. Sporting alitte somthing new. GOOD TEETH! Keyshia took after her momma and gotta herself the official ''A nigga got money now GRILL"

UPGRADE!!!

You betta Work!

By Honeygrip
No seriously, girls-YOU BETTA WORK! Keep some kind of "justincase" hustle because you never know when you are going to be told to GO....
Alexis Phifer (ex of Kanye West) and Mashonda (soon to be ex wife of Swizz beatz) put on their best "fuck him, girl" threads for the Essence/Toyota sponsored "If looks could kill" event for Alexis' Ghita Clothing line. Both of these ladies look to be holding up rather well despite all the drama that has surrounded their breakups. Especially for Mashonda who was recently quoted speaking on the rampant rumors about Alicia Keys being the 'other woman' in her marriage. She told Hip Hop Weekly:
"[Alicia Keys] is her own woman and she has made her own choices. I don’t have a problem with her. I will say this though, I am not a scorned woman. I have a responsibility to raise [my son], he’s my number one priority and everyday I strive more for him and of course my music.”

Sounds suspect to me. Let that be a lesson to all you girls who are dreaming of a future with a rapper/producer/ball player...SMH

To sirs with love...

By Honeygrip
Once again, it looks like this pregnancy is causing me to miss out on exclusive events like Splash Day, 2008. Apparently, I could have been somewhere on a beach nestled up between these two beauties. Even though I am 7 months pregnant-I'm sure I could've squeezed my ass into something spandex and cut off and fit right in...Damn.

My Joke of the day: Hood Newsman

http://view.break.com/516661 - Watch more free videos

So, I was at my desk, minding my own business when I darted over to C & D. Now why did I do that?!!! LOL. I ended up clicking on this clip and laughing my head off. Which prompted my "Becky" co-workers to inquire as to what I was watching...

Don't you hate when your inner "nigga" comes out? Especially in an professional environment. sigh! I hate exposing my two- sides...I know I have been there before and that's probably the underlying reason for my eruption of laughter. Any suggestions on how to explain the humor of this clip to them? SIGH!!

Shiny New:Nas

Check out Nas' video for "Be a NIGGER too"

Diddy Please...

By Honeygrip
This nigga just don't get it. In another sad and desperate attempt to stay relevant. P. Diddy, Sean John, or WHATEVER! that damn diddy! is announcing that he is returning to his original moniker of Puff Daddy. If he wants to do something worth talking about how about marrying Kim Porter! Or If you really want to shock us go the hell away!

Shiny New: Estelle

Check out Estelle’s new video for her third single “No Substitute Lover”. My boy Fierce!Christian Siriano, Kelly Rowland, and Amanda Diva make cameos.

Dear News of the World,

By Honeygrip
Dear Editors at News of the World, news of Amy Winehouse being a rancid, wretched crackhead is not actuaaally news...
I know they mean well by trying to bring light to her issues. But have you guys seen Amy lately?? She stopped giving a fuck a looonnng time ago. So what if you've uncovered some private, personal photos of Amy doing and saying some seriously offensive shit. Who (still) cares?! Why are you reporting this when nothing will be done to stop it. Honestly now...
This just in: Water is wet and hell is hot!

Well. That explains it...

By Honeygrip
I don't know much about astrological signs except that I have dated one of each. I won't claim to be an authority on any. But Kanye West celebrated a birthday today(31). Which like Prince, would make him a gemini. Geminis if I remember correctly- struggle with two personalities. I'm far too hot to go into Kanye's personalities. I will infact wish him a "Happy Birthday"

The Greatest...

By Honeygrip
If you're looking for me I'll be somewhere under the cherry moon.
Today's is Prince's 50th birthday. Therefore, I've decided to take a day to myself. This will be the only post today. Since, I will be stuck in front of the TV watching the non-stop marathon of all things Prince on VH1 soul...

UPS is sponsoring...

By Honeygrip
My dealer complained to me last night that the Big Wigs & Nigs were all coming to the NY offices to say hello. Which for him meant having to shave on a Friday (the end of the week) and putting the standard issue work boots (with fresh shine) on, instead of his comfortable hood tims.
I asked why they were coming and he proclaimed: BIG BROWN!

Apparently, Big Brown is a horse that has been sponsored by the delivery giant and it's going for the Triple Crown at the Belmont stakes this weekend....:\. Which means that all the big investors and CEO's are gathering in NY to watch the race. He said he was putting on his best massa face (a.k.a smiling) and getting ready to schmooze with the H.N.I.C's as they walk around the facilities shaking hands and mingling within the ranks of the "Brown Army". UPS is serious with it...LOL!

Anyone who works for a large corporate company can relate to that B.S. When the CEO's come to visit. It's kind of like assembly day in school? Remember?

Anyways- seeing as 'crumbsnatcha' is part brown thanks to her daddy- I say "Go BIG BROWN!"

When Hot messes combine...

By Honeygrip
Funky, Funky fuckery- sigh!
What is going on here?! Foxy Brown and Rick Ross pose seductively together in a photo at a video shoot recently. I need them both to boil in some pesticides. Do I smell a funky love connection brewing? Or is that those fucking dooky braids...YUK!

Straight out the gate with the Fuckery!

By Honeygrip
There is something in the air this beautiful, June, Friday.
My day here in the planation is moving at an ultra slow- bionic- motion speed. SIGH! but anyhoo-T.G.I.F.
Hopefully, by fulfilling my quota of fuckery for my now neglected blog *sorry Mo* this should help me kill the time.
Let's start shall we?
What's going on with this Serena Williams cover of Ebony. She actually looks good?! And you know there is minimal photoshop invovled here- cause after all this is EBONY!

Who you gonna call??

By Honeygrip

Hip Hop's favorite Whore ran into a bit of domestic trouble last night. Seems Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans and her fiancee *shivers at the thought* got into a rumble that left Karrine reaching for her cell phone to TEXT.....Perez Hilton.

She texted according to Perez:
“U have to help me. My boyfriend just tried to run over me with his car. [I] Just made a police report. In August, he placed me in a choke hold at a strip club on my birthday. There’s a report and photos of that. There was another choking I never reported but is now being investigated… He’ll kill me if I go on with this. YES…Eddie Winslow from Family Matters!”

While I hope Karrine is okay. I also hope this bitch knows that Perez Hilton ain't about to protect her from Darius McCray. Bitch Please! And futhermore the next time you experience some ho ass buffoonery email ME: honeygrip@gmail.com and I will gladly provide you with a plan of action.

You're welcome.

Shiny New: Lloyd ft Lil Wayne

Check out Lloyd and new favorite rapper-lol...

What the hell is coming over me??

By Honeygrip
Ahh the powers of media and publicity...
I have had many a conversation with my boys on who is the hottest MC in the game-BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!
*whispering* I have to admit that Lil Wayne is starting to grow on me.
My son is a big fan (but he is only 10 years old-so what does HE know) I mean I came from the Biggie, Jay-Z and Nas era. You know the 'Token to get on the bus/train era" so needless to say, all this music thats out today, pretty much sucks ass to me.

But I can't front- 'A Milli' is tearing up all the popular kids' myspace pages. And according to my boy- it sets the clubs on fire when the DJ's throw it on. Clearly, I'm too old and I wouldn't know because I haven't been to a "club" in 3 years... :)

Despite his ignorant ass rants about women & drugs and his drama with the mixtape DJ's who leaked his new long awaited album and caused it to be (illegally) downloaded more than A Milli(on) times in 5 days- I think he might have made a new fan out of me!

Today as I sat in my car I actually listened to the Lollipop Remix ft Kanye West.
Spider boy caught me with the lyrics:
"Im in yo Neighborhood, area, cd thang, tape deck iPod, ya girlfriend and she say I got great sex Safe sex is great sex Better wear a latex; Cuz you dont want that 'late' text, you know that "I think I'm late" text..."

Pretty, clever Spidey... Pretty clever.

On a related note, Bossip & Mediatakeout are both reporting that Weezy has entered rehab in Florida... NICE! Great way to start your summer, you go boy!

OMFG!!!

By Honeygrip
Sorry for the slow to no posts lately, I have had my head stuck up my own ass for more than a week! I have been dealing with identity theft and still I try to get the posts in under master's nose but for some strange reason for the last week or so- I have actually been working while at work! Go Figure!!!

These fools don't seem to understand how hard it is to do personal shit; when they are bothering you with simple ass "WORK-RELATED" issues...SIGH!

Anyhoo- I knew I must have been out of the loop this morning when I saw this picture of Lil Kim... I ran through the gammet of emotions: happiness, pride, gluttony, greed and even envy. Don't ask me why?

Is is me or does she look...dare I say...decent.


[C'mon now- you know not to expect a "good" from me...]

Ahh...Puppy Love.

By Honeygrip
Let Chris Brown and Rihanna, say what they will-- but this picture says it all. Chris looks like he sits UP and begs for the pussy...lol. I love it. I'm sure there is a very innocent explanation for this photo, but I ain't running with it.

So close...yet so far!

By Honeygrip
It was only days ago that Jennifer Hudson danced on the cusp of fabulousness at the SATC premiere. I guess lightening and good support bras can strike only once in a week...

The MTV Movie Awards trainwreck aired last night. It was a HOT mess. The only entertaining moments came every time the cameras panned into the audience to show Rihanna and her 'bored dead' eyes...You could tell she was thinking of a hundred other places to be. At least we at home had the benefit of Tivos and remote controls.
