Introducing new kid on the block. 17 year old Lil Mama. I havent heard any of her songs but I hear she's hot!
Actress Scarlett Johansson's new Louis Vuitton campaign. She looks hot! Don't know why Justin choose Jessica Biel over her.
17 year old Jordin Sparks is American Idol winner (She wasn't the best singer in that competition)
Jordin's win is not even the issue with AI, but the fact that 25.2 million viewers tuned in to watch the American Idol performance show on Tuesday night.
That number may seem impressive but it's a huge drop from the same show last season - when 36.3 million viewers tuned in to the finale performance show.
People aren't feeling AI anymore?
One of the world's biggest fashion designers Marc Jacobs now has a Myspace page, which he started just last week!
If you write him, he'll write you back. Isn't that cool?
Eve was arrested for DUI and sent straight to jail. Lindsay Lohan did same and she was asked to pay a fine. It must be great being a white celebrity...
Rumour has it that actress Kerry Washington is gay. Anyone know if that is true?She was at the Cannes Film Festival with SI Model Noemie Lenoir and now people are saying Noemie is Kerry's lesbian lover? This true? Anyone know?
Also, Mario Winans is said to be dating Cassie. Perfect match I think. He seems like a pretty decent guy

Hardcover: 288 pages

. Author: Helen Oyeyemi
Helen Oyeyemi may become the female Wole Soyinka of Nigeria, because of her depth as confirmed by the previews of her latest novel The Opposite House: A Novel (Hardcover)
. Book Description
In a dazzling follow-up to The Icarus Girl, Helen Oyeyemi explores the thin wall between myth and reality through the alternating tales of two young women and their search for the truth about faith and identity. Maja was five years old when her black Cuban family emigrated from the Caribbean to London. Now, almost twenty years later, Maja is a singer, in love with Aaron, pregnant, and haunted by what she calls “her Cuba.” Growing up in London, she has struggled to negotiate her history and the sense that speaking Spanish or English made her less of a black girl. But she is unable to find herself in the Ewe, Igbo, or Akum of her roots. It seems all that’s left is silence. Meanwhile distance from Cuba has only deepened Maja’s mother faith in Santeria —the fusion of Catholicism and Western African Yoruba religion—but it also divides the family as her father rails against his wife’s superstitions and the lost dreams of the Castro revolution.On the other side of the reality wall, Yemaya Saramagua, a Santeria emissary, lives in a somewherehouse with two doors: one opening to London, the other to Lagos. Yemaya is troubled by the ease with which her fellow emissaries have disguised themselves behind the personas of saints and by her inability to recognize them.
Lyrical and intensely moving, The Opposite House: A Novel (Hardcover) is about the disquiet that follows us across places and languages, a feeling passed down from mother and father to son and daughter.

So what if Kerry washington is Gay??? Who cares? What does it matter?? She looks stunning, she's brilliant at what she does. Anyone that thinks differently of her because they suspect she's gay is a Homophobe and should get a life!!!
ReplyDeleteKerry Washington's dress is amazing and no i dnt think that she is gay. And Beyonce looks nice. Looks like she lost some more weight. Love the new look of your blog. More lively looking than it was before. & hope the Nigerian gal gets into the top ten of the miss universe thingy.
ReplyDeletethe model kerry washington is photographed with is not a lesbian she's dating a premiership footballer and just gave birth to their child.
ReplyDeleteCheck for Lil Mama on www.youtube.com, he song lipgloss is catchy and i am embarrassed that i like it. lol. Kerry's dres looks like a amateur did their best. Where is the gay rumor coming from? Anyways Naomie has a child and shud be engaged to a footballer in France. Scarlett has a fine man name Ryan Reynolds. I don't think she and Justin had a thing going on at all. Cassie and all the Badboys associates are dating? I am not sure but good for her if it is Mario not Diddy. I am going to check Marc Jacobs out right now too. Thx Linda

ReplyDeleteNoemie Lenoir is in a new movie with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker(rushour 4). I'm sure that is why she was at the premire with Kerry Washington.
