So the other day I was thinking about some of my past relationships and trying to figure out why some of them lasted and why some of them NOSE DIVED! I ended up becoming of the opinion that the success of my relationships were somewhat dependant on whether or not the relationship involved Titles!

Now when I talk about the “Title” I am referring to that status we get from being officially crowned the “Girlfriend,” Boyfriend,” “Wifey” or even “Fcuk Buddy” or “Side Chick.” Now I’m not too sure why someone would officially want to be known as the “side chick” but I have heard a few girls refer to themselves as such, and they appeared to be happy with their title so I’m not going to knock it.

You see my question is: Does putting a “Title” on a relationship tend to improve a relationship and satisfy the parties involved, or does it tend to be damaging?

I believe that in some circumstances a “Title” can improve the quality of a relationship. It gives both parties a clear sense of their role, for example if I’m your “Girlfriend” there is somewhat an obligation to be there for you through emotional hardship, financial instability and to cater to your physical needs. Being the “Boyfriend” implies that you will protect, look after and spoil your girl like the princess she is….. Am I bugging or does that sound about right?

The point is that having a “Title” tends to draw the boundaries of the relationship more clearly. If you asked me to be your “Wifey” and I fluttered my eyelashes, got butterflies and said “Yes” with the upmost satisfaction, one can assume that NEITHER party is entitled to “see other people.” The relationship has become EXCLUSIVE! This being fine and dandy there is obviously a downside to putting a “Title” on it….

Check out the new track from Jagged Edge ft Trina and Gucci Mane, It’s entitled “Tip Of My Tounge” …. What do we think amours?…. Apart from being painfully aware that Trina is a bad bish….

Oh and I heard that “Trina, Kim or Nicki?” track the other day…. and Aside form making me laugh it made me think that 1) all female rappers have been pushed by Ms. Minaj to step thier game UP… and 2) Who IS the BADDEST BITCH? ….

I really want to know …. Trina, Lil Kim, or Nicki Minaj? ….. HOLA?!

I have to say since Minaj came out maaaad Female rappers are coming out of the wood works now-a-days … This one kinda reminds me or Ransom or Shea Davis or suttin ….shes MAD HOOD…. I kina like it doe… lol…

What do we think Mi Amours? …. and Who Is The Baddest Female Rapper in the Game right now…..

 Trina, Kim OR Nicki baybee?

So unfortunately my life got CRAZY again and I was unable cover all the news and events that I wanted to. However after recently telling my boss at my God awful RETAIL job to to Go FCUK herself…..We now return to regular programming!

Nicki Minaj who I interviewed last summer (2009), has finally BLOWN up! She has featured on an enormous amount of tracks in such a short time, as well as appearing on BET’s 106 & Park  TWICE, to date. I have to say I’m very proud of my gurl, she deserves the spotlight!

Ms. Minaj’s status has undoubtedly reached new heights as she  just got her FIRST COVER on the Spring Edition for FADER MAGAZINE,  the launch party for such took place Wednesday evening in downtown Manhattan. The caption for her cover appropriately reads “Nick Minaj Assumes Control”and the article is definitely worth a butchers (U.S. translation = worth taking a look at).

Although the Harajuku Barbie was not in attendance, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Raheem DeVaughn did make an appearance. Mr. DeVaughn released his 3rd album to date, The Love & War MasterPeace (Deluxe) on Monday March 1st. The album is available from the Official Store, and you can also get your hands on a copy via iTunes and Amazon.com.

Now as we all know I was IN LOVE with Nicki Minaj… and as I previously mentioned I very happy for her with regards to her success. Now for some unknown reason, I DO NOT have a TV nor a RADIO, but found myself in a friends home a day or two ago watching the “BedRock” Video and well…. IS Nicki Minaj OVER-DOING this WHOLE Barbie thing?

If you didn’t hear about the Earthquake in Haiti, it occuredyesterday and was a dreadful 7.0 magnitude…. This is THE most severe earthquake to hit Haiti in a century and the sheer strength of the Earthquake has caused many to expect what CNN are calling a “Serious Loss of Life.” Please pray for the people of Haiti….

If you have family or friends in Haiti that you are trying to contact you can call the United States Department at 888-407-4747.

For more information about the Earthquake you can visit CNN.com or BBC News

On a side note I’m disgusted that the BBC DO NOT have a HELPLINE available for people in Englandto call if they are trying to contact family and friends that live in Haiti…. I’m aware that there are not that many Haitians living in London but that is definitely besides the POINT….. they need to SORT IT OUT!!! ASAP!

Haiti Country Profile

Check out this new video from Trina – “That’s my attitude” ….

Like or Loathe mi amours?……

I caught this over on Necole Bitchie’s site yesterday and I was surprised athow eloquently and accurately he described the difference between f**king and making love.…. It made me say “ahhhh” and nod my head in agreement! lol Have a butcher’s: (U.S. translation: a look)

So in 2009, I must admit I had days, weeks and months in which I was so depressed with my life and unhappy with my circumstances that I simply couldn’t wake up in the morning…. I have come to find that all I managed to do successfully in this period was waste time! I woke up this morning, this morning in 2010 at 6am after going to bed at 2am….. For some reason I feel inspired as I realised just how much of a difference it makes when you just pull yourself out of bed, WAKE UP and FEEL inspired!

Here are 10 Inspirational Reasons YOU should wake up in the morning….. Reach your potential and LIVE your life, do NOT merely exist!

1. You are ALIVE- Wake up because you are blessed with the GIFT of life and many who we would like to still be here to   enjoy life and share it with us have passed. (For example my grandmother, my sister, my next door neighbour) BE GRATEFUL for the blessing of life!

2. You have HOPE  – Even if things are not fabulous and you do not have everything your heart desires, make 2010 the year that you make your life better. Wake up because there is still HOPE for a better tomorrow and you can only find a better tomorrow if you take a STAND today!

3. CHANGE comes with the morning sunrise – Everyday is a new day, Everyday is the opportunity for a NEW beginning, its not only on Jan 1st that you should feel like you can make a change….That day is like any other, the sun rises and sets. MAKE EVERYDAY your Jan 1 and feel inspired every morning!

4. See what the world has to offer- Wake up so you can see what beauties and wonders the world has to offer. Go to a museum and appreciate Black Art that you have never seen before, Go outside and appreciate the seasons…… Just wake UP and OPEN your eyes …. Do something you have always wanted to do! For example a friend of mine recently decided that though she’s as petrified as can be she’s going to so a SKYDIVE…random but THAT’s what life is for, fun and to experience all the world has to OFFER!

5. Find Your Purpose  – Everyone is put on this earth for a reason, If you feel your life has no meaning….This is NOT a reason to lay in bed all day and waste your life….WAKE UP to FIND YOUR purpose, that in itself  IS a reason to get up!

6. Show those who LOVE you that YOU LOVE THEM too!If nothing else use your days to bring joy and laughter to those that love you…. You will find that this in itself brings you happiness and inspires you to be all that you can be…. Spread the LOVE! (ok that’s a bit corny but I’m in a really good mood so … *shrugs and smiles*)

7. To HELP others - If you don’t like your life FINE, but don’t waste it….At least go and use the HANDS, EYES, LEGS and MIND that you are GIFTED with to HELP OTHERS who may NOT have the same faculties and amenities that you HAVE!

8. To be able to look back and say I tried – I look back on some of my year and I am very disappointed in myself, disappointed that I can’t even say with any conviction that EVERYDAY I TRIED my best to get to where I want to be! This is NOT GOOD ENOUGH! When my grandfather when he asked me “Are you trying your best?” Like he did when he first got to England from Jamaica and had to work his fingers to the bone …….I couldn’t look in his eyes and tell him “Yes, Grandad I am trying my best” and that kind of broke my heart a little.

So Alicia Keys and Swiss Beatsare clearly head over heels for each other and despite the fact that Mashonda is probably still fuming that Alicia stole her man….the new couple clearly don’t give a flying f**k and are about to shack up (move in together)  in New York City!!

The NY Post reported:

The stunning singer and her artist/producer boyfriend, Swizz Beatz, have been looking to buy a penthouse in the Peter Marino-designed condo building at 170 East End Ave., across the street from Gracie Mansion. A source told Page Six, “They’ve been back four times to view it.” Keys is said to be keen on the duplex penthouse, which features a fireplace, double-height ceilings, three bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and East River views. The address has a gym, squash courts and private screening room. The building is home to hedge fund manager Arvind Sanger, who paid $12 million for his penthouse.

I’m not going to hate, If they love each other, good for them….. Let’s just hope karma doesn’t come back and ruin this relationship!  Alicia Keys is set to begin her Tour of North America on February 28th in Montreal, Quebec.

So one of my favourite celebrity couples is apparently getting married!! (yay!) Keyshia Cole and Daniel “Boobie” Gibson are rumoured to be getting married anytime now….. According to mediatakeout.com just after midnight on New Years Daniel produced a 10 Carat Diamond ring and popped the question. Sources say that Keyshia immediately said “Yes” after which she had a lil cry…obvious tears of joy people!

In more news singer, Monica,  has spilled the beans and informed us all via twitter that Keyshia Cole, soon to be Keyshia Gibson will be having a boy… Rumours about Keyshia being pregnant started way back in November……. so I’m guessing she will be expecting her lil boy sometime around May….. I wonder if they will have a small wedding before the baby is born or a big elaborate one after she pops? …. What do think amours?

Either way I’m happy for her, she’s going to have a beautiful family now…. I feel like she deserves it after the insanity shes has to deal with all these years that is the Frankie and Neffe show! …….Awwww can’t wait to see the baby pics I’m sure shes gona have a gorgeous lil bub!

OK, was it just me that missed the fact that just before Christmas Beyonce’s parents, Matthew and Tina Knowles definately began court proceedings to get their divorce in motion! Tina filed divorce papers against her husband of 29 years under the name Celestine, papers that became public just before the holidays….. Unfortunately it seems that money really can’t solve everything…..

Many seem to be pointing the finger at Alexsandra Wright, who filed a paternity suit against Matthew Knowles in October 2009, CLAIMING that she was 6 months pregnant with his child. This 30 year old woman was a business associate of Knowles’, they worked in the same marketing and promotions industry, so the rumours that she is carrying his baby could well be true……

However Tina Knowles had reportedly moved out ….and more or less up and left Matthew Knowles WAAAAAAAY BACK in January 2009 so maybe Alexsandra wasn’t the straw that broke the camels back!

To Check out what the couple had to say about the divorce …. Continue Reading…
