Jon Gosselin From Jon & Kate Plus 8 Is Now A Table Waiter?

Jon Gosselin From Jon & Kate Plus 8 Is Now A Table Waiter?

What the what! I remember when their show - on TLC, I think - was the talk of the town. Then, I don't know when, why, or how it happened, but all of a sudden, Jon and Kate became enemies. I don't know how couples go from love to hate, and I often wonder why there seems to be such a thin line between them. One thing I know for sure is that I don't ever, ever want to know what that feels like. Anyway, in spite of all the money they made, Jon is now waiting tables. And he lives in the woods. Read More

Best Dressed Woman Of 2013: Kerry Washington

Best Dressed Woman Of 2013: Kerry Washington

I've always loved Kerry Washington, but we cannot deny that Scandal has done even so much more for her reputation. If you did not know her before, then you definitely know her now. If you don't know she's Kerry Washington, then you know that she is Olivia Pope. Whether as Kerry Washington or as Olivia Pope, she's got some break-necking style --- which is why People Magazine has named her the best dressed woman of 2013. Now, I won't lie to you and tell you that I absolutely love everything she Read More

Brace Yourselves: Oprah Has Become Richer

  Oprah. Oprah. Oprah. This woman doesn't quit. Just when you think she's done being fabulous, she surprises you again. Oprah's network, OWN was not making money for a long time. I don't remember where I watched it exactly, but I remember seeing an interview with Oprah where she talked about the reason why OWN was struggling. She said it was because she had made the classic mistake that business people make: she didn't do enough research about the industry they're going into. I'm Read More

My Weekend Recount: I MC’d The Wedding Of A Verastic Reader

I regrettably don't have pictures of the bride and groom. Sorry. I explained yesterday that I couldn't take pictures because of where we were seated. Anyway, my weekend was pretty much same ol,' same ol, except Saturday, the day I MC'd. I spent Friday trying to rest for a Saturday, and I spent Sunday trying to recover from Saturday. Funmie was my plus-one to the wedding, and she almost made me go late. Reason number 64914727 why Igwe is my favorite companion. The wedding was in Bethesda, Read More

How To Eat Meat At A Nigerian Event … And Still Look Cute

How To Eat Meat At A Nigerian Event … And Still Look Cute

If you find out how, please let me know. I don't know if men have this problem, too, but for women - me especially - eating meat and looking cute at the same time [at a Nigerian event] is next to impossible. The cause: The meat is too hard Who's fault: The caterer(s) Solution: Softer meat, please! When you go to an American event, the menu has well done, soft food. The meats - chicken, lamb, beef, turkey - and fish are always easy to cut through with a fork and knife and also Read More
