Back in college, I used to lay down in my dorm room with my slow jams playlist in the background. It seems so long ago now that I used to just stare out the window, listening to "Nothing Even Matters" by Lauryn Hill, and feeling just like that.That feeling made me so high. I often wonder...where did it go? What was the transition point that I stopped having inner peace and started not just caring

I often don't take much time out of my day to wonder about celebrities and their marriages, divorces, or children. I spend even less time analyzing their behavior or the he said, she said that's dragged into the fire long after the drama stops and scene ends.But for certain celebrities that I have a lot of admiration for, it makes me sad to see their personal disputes served up as a public forum,

Bill Moyers, a journalist who has been knocking down the doors of fabrication for years, had his last show on Friday night. To say I cried my eyes out would have been an understatement. What that really means is, I cried my heart out.Full disclosure, I've been privy to work with Bill for the past two years, and in that time I've learned a hell of a lot. The word "remarkable" comes to mind, but it

I was watching Love Jones the other day, one of my favorite romantic love movies EVER. Like second to maybe Brown Sugar and Love and Basketball. And though the premise is like those of all other romantic movies, I totally fell in love with the idea of Nia Long, the photographer, and Larenz Tate, the "Renaissance black man" who recited poetry, quoted Bernard Shaw, and effortlessly romanced Nia

Erykah Badu's new video, "Window Seat", has set off a series of criticism from both angles. It depicts a fully dressed Erykah Badu stripping down until she is completely naked, walking down Dealey Plaza in Dallas, and getting shot. It was the same block where JFK was shot. When she falls down, the words Groupthink falls out of her mouth.I loved it.Badu is one of those artists that can just do it.

It takes me only a few seconds to remember when I sat by myself in the dark and had a heart wrenching cry after breaking up with my ex, while "Somebody Already Broke my Heart" crooned out of my speakers.Later, I strolled down Brooklyn's Promenade, looked out at the beautiful Manhattan skyline, and hummed "Smooth Operator".Not to mention I've waltzed around in my pajamas to "Hang onto Your Love".

"I tried to so hard to please you, but I just can't seem too, baby" - Musiq Soulchild - Mary Go RoundSometimes when you're in a relationship, you have to be single. I'm an extremely emotional person, that's just how I was created by default, and how I've always been. I need men to understand that and work with me. Some have done it better than others.

Her weave has little girls running to the nearest beauty shops to cop pink extensions, her barbie doll candy image fools you into thinking she's sweet, until she opens her mouth and the gritty Queens native nearly attacks your senses. With a jolt of animation and lyrics to boot, if you're not left bobbing your head at the end of her verse, you're crazy. I've been a fan of Ms. Harujuku Barbie

Frequently, I treat relationships like traffic. I’m the traffic conductor, and men are the cars. So when I tell them to stay in their lane, they do. When I flag them down, they yield to my attention and pull over. When I think it’s time for us to put on the brakes, we stop.Many of my girlfriends adhere to these rules. So you can imagine my confusion when, while chatting it up with one the other

I grew up in a loving home. Mother, father, sister, brother. I was raised by two strong parents who I love dearly. I went to good schools my entire life and was educated by great teachers and my peers. I've been in good and bad relationships, all of which I've learned a lot from. I've seen my parents relationship at it's best and at it's worst. But there is something I think I should touch on,

My boyfriend and I have a bit of disagreement this time of year. Valentine's Day. He doesn't celebrate it, I do. I don't know how many of you all have this problem too, but if you do, solutions are welcomed, because as much as I try to sit back and forget Valentine's Day exists, the more it's in my face that it's coming.

Today is Vivica Fox's birthday. Ain't she bad! Of course! She's a LEO! Vivica A. Fox, a talented actress who has been in popular movies like Set It Off, Two Can Play that Game, to Juwanna Man, and Kill Bill. Most recently, you've seen her in front and behind hte scenes producing her TV Land show, Cougar, where she sets older women up on dates with younger men. She is also known for gracing

As I skate on the line between 22 and 23 years old, I have been forced to deal with some really tough decisions and a few wake up calls that I'm glad I am learning early. It seems once you hit a certain age, the real world really kicks you in the ass. Though I have a lot to be thankful for, I am blessed to be in a position to have a job, a roof over my head, and the ability to support myself.

Chrisette Michele was featured on Rising Icons last night on BET and she looked fabulous as usual! I really like her as an artist, I've listened to both of her cds, I Am and Epiphany, and I can tell she is definitely going to be a big headliner in the near future. Her music is a mix of jazz, soul, and gospel and her voice is crazy! Below is video of her performance.RS: Chrisette MicheleUploaded

So this morning as I'm strolling through my usual sites, I see this picture up on Bossip of Solange Knowles with a shaved head. I don't like it. I'm hoping that when she does a video and really dresses up and fixes it properly my opinion will change, because this picture is not the best! I love the fact that she has an eclectic style and tries to embrace her natural beauty. And i'm sure she

I've always been a fan of Maxwell for his mix of classic soul and heartfelt lyrics, and this cd is no different.

As I watched the heartfelt tribute poured out by fans and family alike at Michael Jackson's memorial today. One of the things that made me the most proud was World Humanitarian Award that Rep. Jackson Lee honored him with. I wish he could be alive to see it. The life and time of MJ will always be remembered through his songs, his words, and his performances. But we fail to remember that

When she twittered this Saturday and showed the pics, my first thought was why? My second thought was...this has Diddy written all over it.

Great book! This chronicles the life of John Perkins, a man working behind the scenes to discover the truth behind the job that he has. Based on a true story...it is a must read.I will definitely be purchasing more of his books in the near future....and I sincerely hope they turn this into a movie.

According to the NY Times...Bernard Madoff was led in handcuffs off to jail after pleading guilty to 11 accounts of fraud, money laundering, perjury, and theft today in which he is liable to be sentenced to 150 years of prison. Madoff was responsible for stealing BILLIONS of consumers money, from "hedge funds, nonprofit groups, and celebrities". His bail was revoked as the judge didn't want him

GREAT movie! I saw this over the weekend and thought it was just fantastic..like top 5. There's a good mix of intellect, inspiration, and...violence! Definitely not for the kiddies in the least. Synopsis...it's a movie that chronicles that lives of these "watchmen" and the struggles that they face within themselves and with the world. There's a lot more too it, but I've always hated when people

America's next top model is back on tv...and of course it's the same catfights, struts, and poses as before. So as I started to do my hair, I sat down to watch it as I probably will do every Wednesday night (if there's nothing else on tv). But this time something caught my eye... not the big hair and even bigger "personalities", but the commercial for NEXT season. Cycle 13. Where Ms. Tyra is

Oprah's April issue is the first issue ever of O! magazine that she features somebody else on the cover.. First Lady Michelle Obama! On the shelves March 17th. Great choice of course...but long overdue. I love Oprah just as much as the next person, but it's time for her to actually feature some other strong, successful, black women on the cover of her mag. Thoughts?

I love this sister, she seems as if she hasn't changed (or aged) at all...very down to earth chick. See the video above.

Bloggers are slowly becoming modernday computer celebrities lol. Bloggers, twitterers, chronic aimers/facebookers/myspacers lol...all of these social outlets allow people to see into your realm of thinking for just a couple minutes. Most celebrities have blogs. And now most people have blogs. It's good and bad, because it's nice to know you have "followers" who read up on your thoughts. I

This picture pisses me off. The shocking abuse renders me speechless. But on top of Rihanna's embarassment...on top of the he say, she say. What the hell is wrong with the LAPD for leaking this picture???I'm sure TMZ was so damn proud for being the first to get the photo and stamp that big bold TMZ at the top right. They're probably just patting themselves on the back right now because they were

This was my first time sitting down and watching the Oscars in its entirety, so I can't really vouch for years past, but I thought it was really well done! Maybe it was the whole musical theme throughout, maybe it was Hugh Jackman, maybe it was when they had the former winners come out and give praises to this years nominees, or maybe it was because Slum Dog Millionaire took home 8 Oscars (An

This was the cartoon by Sean Delonas in the New York Post yesterday. It reads "they'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill".The New York Post stands behind their belief that the cartoon chimp is not Obama. The newspaper's editor-in-chief, Col Allan, said: "The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event … It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy."I

Whew! Been a minute since I've done one of these! But here you go....Boris Kodjoe. I first got introduced to him on the Showtime series Soul Food, where he played Damon, the sexy mail-boy/entrepeneur/who cares... that I used to watch all the time. He's German, born in Vienna, Austria, and married his co-star Nicole Ari Parker who also played his girlfriend on the show. The couple has two children
