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!

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.

J Boog’s Baby Mother, Jondelle  and his daughter

On a slightly more sour note, J Boog is apparently facing some serious felony charges this week… The former B2K star got into an altercation with his baby mother Jondelle that turned ugly and resulted in J Boogie being charged with “DOMESTIC ASSAULT.”   The saddest part is that this apparently…. all unfolded in front of their children….. continue reading to see the pics and for more details…..

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…

Ok people it’s a new year and I am definately ON it like SONIC in #2010! So I just came back from my vacation in London and so I’m back into my London TV programmes…… anyhu I’m not sure if they have it in the US but over there we have a show callled Celebrity Big Brother….. basically where old faded out celebs go to try and re-build some fame….. and guess whos on this year….

Yes, mi amours….NONE OTHER than SISQO…… now I’m not sure where the hell he’s been for the last few years but he’s finally re-surfaced… to do (pause) Big Brother….? (Raises eyebrows) I suppose the recession really has affected all of us….. Anyhu I have to admit I’m a tad (little) confused as to why Sisqo would do UK Big Brother but I’m it will all become clear sooner or later…. when his new album drops or such like….

When asked for words of wisdom Sisqo said ”Artists are afraid to say who their influences are because they fear they’ll be put in the shadow of that artist. Not me. When I get an idea from somebody, I straightaway say, ‘I took it from them’.” …. Not sure how that quite amounts to wisdom as opposed to just being an unoriginal TEEF …but I’ma allow Sisqo (let this one slide)  just because back in the day, when he was in Dru Hill, I did used to love that lil man!

Anyhu I will keep you updated on any drama in the Big Brother House and in case your a bit of a Big Bro fan Sisqo’s HOUSEMATES include Vinne Jones, Dane Bowers, Lady Sovereign, Katia Ivanova (some random chick that went out with Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood….where do they find these people!) …..anyhu for the whole list of nobodys you can click here.

Not sure how this is going to turn out for Sisqo?!…… What do you think amours?

So I was back in London for my Christmas vacation and realized I have begun to FALL OFF when it comes to my UK Funky House … AnyhuI stumbled across this track “So Hate Me” by LJ this morning and whilst it’s not the best video in the world I LOVE the fact that its sooooooo LONDON it’s crazy….. plus …in the chorus my gurl says

“Bought my own GHD’S (american’s don’t know about GHD’S  man… GET TO KNOW B!)

Don’t wear no second hand weave, I’m more than sexy,

that’s why your man’s looking at me”

 LOL….. I don’t know why but I love it…. maybe it’s just her voice BUT all I know is …..it’s kinda HOT still!!!

Anyhu Let me know what you think amours?

OK so personally I can NOT stand Tiger Woods….. Mainly because I’m totally convinced the man is  a BOUNTY…… and If you dont know what that is let me BREAK it DOWN!!

A Bounty is a type of chocolate/Candy that we have in the UK…… It is milk chocolate on the outside and COCONUT on the inside…. not to say that ish don’t taste good as hell…..but COCONUT is WHITE…. ya digg!! I hope ur not confused…. the guy is just sooo the opposite of a concious intelligent respectful BLACK man that I just can’t deal! Anyways seen as he doesn’t really count as Black I can air out his dirty laundry and feel no way (pow! That was kinda bitchy ryt?! *shrugs* )

Anyhu… The story in short is thus: Tiger Woods meets this trashy ass cocktail waitress in April 2007, her name is Jamie Grubbs….(The bish name is GRUBBS…… she BEEN Grimey *rolls eyes* …. I really feel already like he should have seen this one coming!) Anyhu….  he sends her maaaad text messages and US Weekly managed to get hold of some racy photographs of the two plus a VOICEMAIL…. saying that his wife may be catching on to the fact that his dumb ass is having an affair….with a CHILD…. my girl was only 21 when they met in 2007!…….

What is it with this old guys being unable to just stay in their age bracket….damn if he messed with a chick who was just as HOT and in their 30’s he WOULD not be having this problem right about now cos that bish would have had more sense!!

The jist of the story is that the eeediat got caught cheating and his wife BUST the windows out of his car….. Jasmine Sullivan Stylie! ….But if your into sordid details and want to hear that voicemail…..Continue reading amours!
