Just so you know, The new temp address is http://www.honeygrip.NING.com
I am still trying to configure everything- but I'm so excited about the new format over there that I would prefer if you just come on over. I will be switching the .com there shortly, but I wanted to be sure not to leave anyone behind. Thanks everyone. :) Now Join the new HONEYGRiP network. :)
Live Nation just announced that the ingenious coupling of two of the biggest EGOS stars in music is CANCELLED. No reason was given, but I just spoke to my trusted source who said to expect a Kanye West-Rehab announcement to come momentarily....
If the newest issue of STAR magazine is to be believed, Justin & Rihanna have been getting it in!! I was ready to chalk this one up as pure gossip, even though the word for weeks has been that these two were super-bunned up at a VMA afterparty, recently.All while Justin's gal pal Jessica Biel is still clinging to what's left of her relationship with him. (When will these chicks realize that how you get them is how you lose them-Ahem Cameron Diaz!!)Now Perez Hilton is reporting that Justin & Jessica, have indeed broke up! It seems that JT did the dirty deed over the phone sometime last month...smh!Now, I agree that these 2 as a couple would be a good look, Rihanna better get a GRiP and not take this one too seriously.
And I can't!! Why is it that the only black men who don't have a problem committing aren't looking to commit with more black women. I mean I'll give the 'bride' here some credit. Who couldn't fall for a person with gorgeous hair like that, but I mean seriously speaking.
Are now married!! That's right. For all the non-believers, People.com is officially reporting:
In what proved to be an elegant finale to their month-long courtship, Khloe Kardashian wed Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom Sunday evening at a private residence in Beverly Hills, PEOPLE confirms.At 5:12 p.m., Kardashian, 25, walked down the outdoor aisle in a Vera Wang gown on the arm of her stepfather, Bruce Jenner, with sisters Kim and a pregnant Kourtney at her side. Black-Tie Khloe's bridal party included half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, actresses (and twin sisters) Khadijah and Malika Haqq and actress Lauren London.
Now, let's do the math people. The E! Channel paid over $1 Million dollars for the lavish wedding, which will air on the network. Khloe allegedly received a 9 carat engagement ring from Lamar (who recently signed a 30 Million dollar contract with the Lakers) and they sold the right to the wedding photos to OK magazine for a little more that $300,000. The word is that the couple is in discussion with E! and producer Ryan Seacrest for their own show. Who cares how long it last when you get a nice paycheck like that. Now, don't you wish you were this business savy!
And massive lowlights. Brought to you by our friends via Twitter. The show was taped in Brooklyn tonight, but Twitter was a combustible mess with tweets about this twat. Foxy Brown-fresh off the release of her newest venture- was in the building where she performed with Fabolous. Which we also heard through twitter was not a marriage made in heaven during the rehearsals. Word is, Foxy showed up with her trademarked diva antics in tow. Too bad no one mentioned that to her that it's not 1996 anymore. But anyhoo, can you name 3 things that are wrong with this picture?? Or maybe you want an easier one??
An unidentified florida rapper *allegedly Rick Ross* was robbed by 3 Groupies in Nashville. They made off with his jewels and other personal belongingd including a laptop. When will these fools learn??
I love when blind items reveal themselves. A couple of months ago, CDAN ran this nifty little blind item:
"This blind item is going to be phrased as a piece of advice. If you pay your drug dealer on time he won't break into your house and take your things. Just saying."
WELL TMZ is revealing that the guy on the left Nick Prugo, who was recently arrested and charged with burglarizing Lindsay and Audrina Patridge (of the Hills) homes may have a deeper *sniff, sniff* connection.
According to TMZ, Nick Prugo was seen hanging around with Blo on the set of her direct-to-basic-cable-TV extravaganza Labor Pains.One witness who worked on the production said Nick visited Blohan around 10 times. It's not known whether or not Nick has ever been to Lindsay's house. TMZ says that Nick was arrested for coke possession sometime, last year. Now I'm just saying...
These Real Housewives of Foreclosure are desperate for any attention. Recently Nene has been taking shots at Khloe Kardashian & even gassed someone into letting her be a red carpet correspondent for this past Sunday's Emmy telecast. Nene (of Housewives of ATL) and Gretchen (of Housewives of Orange County) along with their significant others grabbed lunch & attention from the nearby paps.
Khloe Kardashian & LA Laker Lamar Odom are getting married this weekend. Friends of the couple claim that the 2 are rushing to get married simply because Lamar will be shipping off to training soon, not because the couple are expecting or desparately trying to gain attention.
Khloe & Lamar have only been dating for a couple of months and only went public with their relationship a few weeks ago. I'm trying to figure out who is coming up in this relationship- Khloe or Lamar???
Word is Khloe has REFUSED to sign a pre-nup and has even gotten the E! channel to spend upwards of $300,000 for the quickie ceremony which will be taped for her show on E! there are even reports that Lamar & Khloe are in talks to have their own reality show!
LIKE I SAID BEFORE: AMBER ROSE IS THE REAL BLUEPRINT!
The former stripper is now the face of Boadicea The Victorious perfume by Michael Bodi. All this from licking Kuntye's peen. Ladies get your pens & papers out. This bitch definitely needs to teach a class.
The other night I attended the Gucci Cocktail Party benefitting Mary J Blige’s organization FFAWN at Gucci on NY’s Fifth Avenue. The party was Jam Packed with celebs, including Lebron James, Steve Harvey, Alicia Keys, Serena Williams, Ryan Leslie, Chrisette Michelle, Estelle, Donald Trump, Russel Simmons and many more. Like a knuckle head I forgot my camera, but with my partner in crime Nik Banks of http://www.thesinglegirlsguidetomen.com/ we were able to finagle a quick impromptu interview with Ms. Tameka Foster Raymond. The audio will be available soon. Peep some of the pics I was able to sneak with my camera phone below.
Tameka was thin as a pin and absolutely FAB. Glowing skin, down to earth and real. She talked with us about her foundation for young girls http://www.lostonesfoundation.org/ and her workout regime. She swore that her post 5 babies body was not the by-product of any surgery, even though she did have complications during a plastic surgery attempt in Brazil this past February.
She works out every other day for at least 30 minutes on her treadmill at home. When we asked her for some advice for all the single girls. She shot back: "I'm married." claiming that she still had some time left on her lease...haha. Tameka really impressed me. I told her point blank that after meeting her and SEEING her in person, I couldn't understand the hate directed toward's her. To which she responded flatly, that it's all because she married a superstar. I begged her to let us get a photo to prove that she was as attractive in person as she was but she declined stating that she never ever seems to photograph well. I usually hate to have to say nice things about people :) but Tameka gets props from me!
Oprah kicked off her 24th season with a captivating interview with Whitney Houston. Her interview was refreshingly honest but one thing that bothered me was Whitney remarks about "ROCK Cocaine" vs "CRACK".
Whitney confused me so much I had to call an expert who explained: "That ROCK Cocaine is what rich people call crack because they think they're better than us. "
It reminded me of Whitney's 2002 interview with Diane Sawyer. This interview was no where near the train wreck of the Diane Sawyer "Crack is Wack" interview but Whitney's denial of her drug abuse was damn close...
I been gone for a minute now I'm back with the jumpoff. As you know Kuntye was in the building at the VMA's this weekend...It's all anyone can talk about, his EGO has him at the top of everyone's shit list. He took to Jay Leno to make a very public mea culpa...SMH!
Sorry, I have been missing and I'm all late. But I have been busy with a lot of bullshit. My daughter's 1st birthday party which was a mess. And my home internet connection has been bonkers. I'm in the process of trying to revamp everything in my life... So please bear with me.
When a friend send me this link, she quipped that these bitches were extremely low class. To which I replied, "low class for these hoes at this point implies that there was some class to begin with...SMH!"
Adam Goldstein a.k.a. DJ AM was found dead earlier today in his apartment in SoHo. Initial reports via TMZ claim that the police found drug paraphernalia including a "crack pipe" on the scene. Word is that DJ AM was devasted over the recent end of a relationship as well as still suffering from Post Tramatic Stress Disorder related to the plane crash he was involved in last September. He along with fellow musician Travis Barker were the only survivors of that crash. Outside of his incredible fanbase he was also known for dating Mandy Moore & Nicole Ritchie. Goldstein, a former heroin addict, was 9 years sober until most recently. He was 36 years old.
It's really too bad more people aren't reading this. Like I said here. Chris Brown's sentencing yesterday only proved it. My sources months ago where on the money:) 1. Chris & Rihanna had (have-depending on whom you ask & who's side there on) a very votile relationship. The court documents revealed, "Rihanna once slapped Brown while in Europe, and he shoved her against a wall. Then, while visiting Barbados, Brown became so infuriated with the "Umbrella" songstress that he broke her cars' windows. Both incidents had taken place months prior to the pre-grammy party incident. Interestingly enough it appears that flame is definitely not out between these two. TMZ has learned: "Brown says he has already apologized to Rihanna "on a few different occasions." He added he was "uncertain" of the status of their relationship. Note, this interview was June 26, 2009, more than 4 months after the beating. "
I guess it's safe to assume that there has to be smoke where all these Chrihanna sighting fires are?? Maybe 5 years probation will help keep them apart.
Until then, if you still need to hear Chris' story in his on words, he will be on Larry King Live on September 2nd.
VH1 is saved as a favorite on my cablebox (lame excuse, I know) but that's my only defense & it convienently explains why I even know about this fuckery. Anyhoo, this shit show airs on VH1 and now the real fuckery going on behind the scenes has caused the show to be scrapped indefinitely.
It would seem that one of the contestants, Ryan Alexander Jenkins ALLEGEDLY may have killed his WIFE and stuffed her in a suitcase in a dumpster somewhere. The guy is being labeled as a "person of interest" in the investigation, and he also happens to be missing-hmmm! TMZ is reporting that dude, will end up as one of the finalists in the show and that even though he wasn't picked by Megan, he was able to capitalize his feature on Megan's show enough to be on the next season of 'I love Money 3' word is dude actually WON IT ALL on that show. So now VH1 is totally screwed. They hadn't even annouced an air date for the next season of that show.
So now, VH1 has removed all images of the show from their website and the show "Megan wants a Millionaire' and all it's future episodes have been removed from their schedule. Not for nothing but isn't this the type of trainwreck television VH1 executives live for??
Vacation appeared to be going real smooth too. Until the couple headed out for a romantic evening and the rabid, Croatian paps got into a scuffle with Bey's bodyguard Julius.
It didn't end there. The pap who threw his tripod turned around and filed charges against Julius with the Croatian police. No word yet on whether Julius will have to turn himself over to the cops. If he know like I know I would be long gone by now...
Well, I mean Amber did South Beach. And Kanye, well he just stood around & pouted at the paparazzi. Who like the rest of us oggled Amber Rose's fine ass (no homo) click here for a shot of her fine, natural looking tittays. Whoo! Dayum!
"You would think that in the Internet age it would be very difficult for a well-known person to fabricate their history. However, that is exactly what this youngish multi-hyphenate has done. She is approximately five years older than she claims to be, and she did not grow up in an upper middle class neighborhood, nor go to private school. She has been known to dabble in some unsavory substances that are in direct contradiction to her public persona. Perhaps as long as she maintains A-list status she has the power to convince people that her alternate identity is the truth." [Blind Gossip]
The Carters reunited last night and stepped out on the NYC streets together to have a quiet, romantic dinner at Nello's. I appreciate that Beyawnce is trying to step up her edgy look, but the edges of her hair, ummm not so much.
Rihanna was spotted in this hot Frock at a friends birthday party last night at Greenhouse in New York. She's my favorite style icon of the moment, by far...
By Honeygrip While these other hoes' stock keeps dropping. I've noticed that Amber Rose's stock continues to skyrocket. Kanye's muse is carving out her own niche, check out her Complex Magazine spread here.
And her family have become the 3rd castmember of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" to lose her home to a foreclosure.
Now wasn't she the "business woman" who never stops working. How could this have happened to her? I am convinced now that all these Housewives are straight fronting.
The Hartwells spokesperson claims that Lisa & her family simply decided to downgrade due to the recession. Yeah, okay.
I gotta say, some of these young girls are in serious trouble. And by young, I mean 5 or 6 years old. I've been at kiddie parties and watched these babies all dressed up in spandex & minis and lip gloss that's popping, whine & grind. Maybe someone should tell Miley Cyrus, that this whole performance might send out the wrong message. I'm just saying...
On Sunday, straight off my flight from Vegas my twitter & facebook pages were crazy with alerts claiming that Jay & Oprah were out in Marcy filming something. Turns out it was true! They were filming a new campaign for Rocawear, directed by Spike Lee.
As I'm sure you don't know, this Thursday I will be 33. This year I decided that I needed to do something different and fun, especially since I hardly ever do anything wild or spontaneous in my life anymore. I needed a break from my obligations and commitments to others, and so I decided, quite impulsively to throw a pebble in the piston and throw caution to the wind. I'm out! and I will not have my trusty laptop and I also hate blogging from my phone. So, it's safe to say, I won't be posting.
See--This is my first trip solo dolo anywhere, so I plan on making this a booze-filled hiatus, and as such, I have taken an oath to remain an upstanding citizen, a respectable mother of two and to come home well rested, calm and rejuvenated. But we all know the reality...
With that said, let me amend my own sworn oath to include more do-able terms. I will not come home married, severely hungover or with herpes or some other form of disease you can get from some strange low-life degenerates. I also promise to not get arrested for any form of flagrancy.
But that's it folks, beyond that the world is my oyster. After all 'What happens there, stays there'
Well, listen to these boring ass mundane phone calls some "friend" of Michael's released. They are not that clear so I suggest you close your eyes to listen. If you become enthralled there are more here.
"Niggas always want some credit for some shit they just supposed to do."
Nas claims: “I heard that I was a cheater. It almost sounds like I was a bad husband. Not to say I was the greatest—I’m not perfect in anything I do—but I think I deserve a fucking trophy. If I do say so myself, without sounding too cocky, I gotta say I was a hell of a husband and a hell of a dad.”
What ever the 'Other-Other'; Sarah Chapman & that damn Diddy have going on is killing me. What is with the personal champagne pouring? Is this some kind of sign of respect?? I don't get it. Isn't this the same chick, the mother of his first born daughter that he tried to pay to go away.
And by the sheer & clear "nigga please" expression she is giving him, clearly she understands that this fool ain't impressing anyone with his 'bitchassness'. Obviously this is becoming a recurring theme? So anytime Diddy is in the ATL, we should expect to see more displays like this? I'm just asking...
Should I be jealous of this shit here? If I don't get Baby Daddy bottle service, the next time I step in the club we are going to have a serious fucking problem...
In a city as large as New York, these two can't manage to stay more than 50 feet away from each other. Don't believe the coincidence story about the same hotel. And don't believe this video where the two mysteriously showed up on the same block at about the same time to eat at 2 different restaurants.
Reggie Bush & Kim Kardashian have split. People is reporting:
The pair, who recently returned from a charity trip to Africa with Kardashian's sister Khloe, just last May talked about "heading" toward marriage, but sources tell PEOPLE their relationship suffered from the time they spent apart – with yet another separation looming with the upcoming NFL season.
Awww, I guess those of you in the know, or shall we say the N.O. know the real reasonS why these two are kaputs??
But for those of you who love a good veiled hint in the form of a recent blind item, this should spell it out for you:
3) "Which half-jock couple isn't telling the truth about their breakup? Both parties are sticking to the same story: it was mutual and they still really, really care about each other, but their careers forced them to spend too much time apart. LOL. Not even close. The truth is that he was a dog. Not the cute, cuddly type you carry around for a photo op. No, he was the two-timing, non-condom-wearing kind of sinner. She wound up with an STD that he picked up from one of his pickups. No, it's not Paris Hilton." [BlindGossip]
I'm glad to have Reggie back on my "Mental Masterbation Material" team. We've missed him.
Kelis' labor & childbirth was not without more controversy. First off, she was in labor over 24 hours & finally gave birth to a 7.8 lb baby boy, named Knight. Word is that Nas was not present at the birth after he showed up to the hospital drunk.
But the judge in their divorce case really gave Nas the business by awarding Kelis a whopping $55,000-a-week in spousal and child support!
Which leads me to ask again, Who knew Nas had all this money?!
Kelis went into labor today (My mom's birthday-BTW). But according to Nas' lawyers Nas was 'not allowed' to be present in the delivery room. Nas & Kelis were scheduled to be in court this morning but Kelis went into labor around 10:30 am and the court hearing had to be postponed. Once Nas got word, he headed over to the hospital but sources say the situation was tense & ugly & he was banned. I told you this divorce was going to get nasty.
I think it's incredibly sad for all parties. I hope they can come to some understanding for the sake of the child.
Paul McCartney was on the "David Letterman Show" earlier this week. It was hailed as the return of the Beatle to the Ed Sullivan theatre. Paul touched lightly on the now legendary fued he had with Michael Jackson, after Jackson took his advise to get into music publishing by buying the Beatles Catalog. When Paul inquired with his friend about it. Mike told him it was just business.
Anyhoo, A young fan of Sir Paul's got the thrill of her life in the above clip. You gotta see it.
3 of the most supreme musicians together on one stage. Thanks Necole Bitchie! As a Prince stan & now even more than ever a Michael Jackson fan. I was pleasantly suprised by this vintage archive footage. It's still a mystery to me why Prince still hasn't said anything about Michael's passing. (maybe a quiet but heavily rumored competitive rivalry is to blame) but that's neither here or there. The video is cool. :)
It's getting harder & harder for me to pay attention to the fuckery going on long enough to log on to Blogger. Damn. The Michael Jackson situation is growing beyond ridiculous & I can't keep up with this one. (See photo above). You got the Steve McNair homicide or as I like to fancy it: Revenge of the Jumpoff.
Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair was found shot to death on July 4th in the condo of his 20 year old mistress, former Dave and Buster's waitress, Sahel Kazemi who was also dead. Steve had been shot several times, while Sahel had been shot once in the head. Initial reports suggest a murder suicide, but have not totally ruled out other scenarios or suspects.
I heard this chatter in the comments of my favorite blog. Sounded plausible to me...
SHE WAS NOT INDIAN SHE WAS IRANIAN....Her family lives 10 minutes from my house. This was a murder-suicide. After her arrest on Thursday for DUI, the police told McNair to take a taxi home...he did and later bonded her out. She humiliated him in front of the police when she told the police "i'm not drunk, i'm high!" The gun was found next to HER hand not his. The police have announced that they are NOT looking for any suspects. This alone says that they know it's a murder suicide but can't officially announce it until lab tests come back. McNair bought a condo and let her live in it...it's a damn shame that it was 10 miles from where him and Mechelle lived with the boys. He also bought her a Black Escalade...the one they were in when she was arrested Thursday. He tried to break it off with her and that's when she killed him. Iranians believe in HONOR KILLINGS. She had probably told her family that she was going to marry McNair and once she realized it was not going to happen she killed him and herself in an effort not to be humiliated and embarrassed in front of her family...hence...HONOR KILLING. McNair was a gun freak and had an assault rifle and several other handguns at the condo. They had only known each other for 3 months and she was a waitress for Dave & Buster's. In 3 months time he took her on vacation, bought her an Escalade (it was in his name too) and let her live in the condo...DAMN DUMBASS....
Diddy had his annual white 4th of July party in L.A. this year. Word is that these 2 hooked up there. That Faith & Lil Kim almost came to blows and that while both Cassie & Kim Porter were in attendence, both played it very cool. I guess Diddy has them all well trained.
Let me stan for a moment. [I hardly ever do that :] I love this video. Hands down. No female artist right now can come close to the hypeness that is this song, the accompanying video and the choreography. Period.
BUT & HOWEVER.
If Beyonce could have 2 nameless, faceless backup dancers work it out along with her. Why couldn't Kelly Rowland & Michelle Williams do it? Why does she need 2 stand-ins when she had them?
Bravo did some real bullshit the other night with Part one of the Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion. But luckily they made it up us with this clip from season two of the REAL Real Housewives.
Remember when I wrote about Jill Scott having a baby with her fiancee? Some guy with 4 kids from different women. Well you can now had Jill to that prestigious list. It seems her and her baby daddy, drummer Lil John, have split. Just a couple of months after the couples' son was born.
Jill told Essence.com: "John and I are no longer together. When you have a baby you're dealing with a lot of emotions and I don't know how much of it had to do with us breaking up, but it happens. We definitely love our son and we are co-parenting and working on being friends. It is what it is. I have a lot of support, so I want for nothing as far as that's concerned. I know some might criticize me or the fact that my son is being raised in a single-parent home, but I wasn't raised in a two-parent home and I had a good relationship with my dad. I have hopes for him and I'm sure his father will do his part as well." Ladies, there is nothing wrong with single parenting- I know because I am one. But let's be for real. Why would you think that a dude who could produce multiple children with multiple women and somehow fall short of commiting to them, could somehow commit to you??
Know who people are before you waste your time trying to make them something they aren't...SMGDH!
An MTV exclusive reveals: “Kelis… maintains that she is dependent on Nas’ financial will. The singer said she took a hiatus from her musical career in 2008 to attend culinary school…. The paperwork alleges Nas signed an $11 million recording contract with Def Jam and is co-owner of touring company, Gorilla Union. The documents state Nas also pays for five homes, three for the couple in Los Angeles, New York and Georgia, and one for his family in New York and her family in the Dominican Republic. In addition to business ventures and property, the filings suggest Nas owns a number of luxury items, including a Rolls Royce Phantom, a Maybach, a Ferrari and a full-time driver in New York. A source who requested anonymity told MTV News that Kelis has attempted to reach Nas directly and via her attorney, but both routes have been unsuccessful.” Well- COT Damn! Where have I been? I thought Nas was doin' aight. But I had no idea. The dealer tried to tell me: "Nas is holding. Don't sleep"
The Real Housewives of New Jersey finale was out of control. But let's talk quickly about things that I noticed.
Why is former NYC Police Commisioner (& Mayor Rudy's boy!) Bernard Kerik best friends with Caroline & her hubby?!
Why did Teresa invite Danielle AND not expect drama?! =/
How dope was it that Jacqueline's seemingly weak ass stood up AGAINST her bulldog SIL's?
And how about when Teresa went OFF, then her 'juicy' hubby kissed her and she was back to zero. LOL!
Danielle walked in and let them all have it. I loved it. Many women talk a good game but 90% would have never had the balls! You know she rehearsed that at home, right?? She was determined to defend herself. Some may disagree but I respect that she did it in front of her daughters-because she wanted them to see there mother (albeit crazy) won't take any disrespect.
Can't wait for the reunion next week!
All I know is if that had been a room full of black women.... LMAO!!!
Mariah premiered her new single "Obessed" on the net today. It hits radio airwaves next week. It's from her forthcoming album "Memoirs of an imperfect angel" *eyerolls* I'm kinda feeling "Delusions of a extremely photoshopped diva" but whatever.
Anyhoo-the track is hot. But I thought Jayzus just said no more autotune. I hope that Eminem doesn't respond to this shit here, I would hate to see those two queens going at it...
Poor Kelis, in the midst of the divorce that is happening in the midst of the last stages of her pregnancy. Kelis is setting the stage for what will be the biggest hip hop battle of Nas' career. It seems the future, former Mrs. Jones is running out of Milk (shake) money.
Kelis wants spousal support, child support, 50% of medical expenses, $20,000 for supplies for their unborn baby and another $3,500 for a baby nurse. Kelis also claims, *in whiny cunt voice*:
"There were many expensive pieces [of jewelry] such as a princess-cut diamond tennis bracelet that was recently appraised for $190,000. My engagement ring is an approximately nine-carat cushion-cut diamond solitaire. I have numerous watches...such as Cartier, Rolex, Frank Muller and Chopard." Kelis went on to moan, "My survival is based on [Nas'] will at this time. If he does not want to pay for an expense, it does not get paid."
