Guess What’s Worth $31 Million In This Picture?

Nope. Not Carrie Underwood herself. But the necklace is. I completely forgot to blog about this days ago. Carrie Underwood wore this necklace on Sunday to the Grammys. It's from Jonathan Arndt, and features 381 carat  brilliant white diamond in the shapes of oval, round, pear, and marquise. When asked about it, Carrie said the necklace is "heavy" on her soul. You got that right! It would be heavy on my soul, too. In fact, I don't know if I can wear that out of the house. Or anywhere. Or at Read More

Beyonce: She Just Keeps On Winning

Let me admit something: I have been liking - maybe loving - Beyonce recently. I am just so awed at her person. She's famous. She's successful. She's married. She's a mommy. She's wealthy. She's private.  She's beautiful. She's hella hot. I just love the way we know the things she wants us to know. No one really knows what goes on behind closed doors, and I love it. We don't see her in tabloids with news about fighting someone. Or cheating (or being cheated on). Or crashing a car. Or smoking a Read More

RIP Goldie Harvey

I just read that Goldie Harvey is dead. I don't know much about this girl. I hear she's a singer, but I honestly don't know any of her songs. I know she was on a reality show - I think Big Brother - and I know she was rumored to be dating someone. My last knowledge of her is that she attended the Grammys - as did RMD. Death is so final. You keep waiting to hear that it isn't as bad, that she'll be okay. But you don't hear it. There is nothing we can do about a dead person. No hope. No buts. Read More

Kate Upton Is Too Fat For Sports Illustrated???

Happy Valentine's Day!!! What better way to celebrate Valentine than to stay at this juicy pair of breasts?  So ... a pair of breasts were spotted on the cover of Sports Illustrated and their owner was also with them. I'm talking about twenty-year old model, Kate Upton.  The ice and water you see behind her are totally real; the shoot was done in Antarctica. In spite of the smile on her face and the bikini on her bod, the place was freezing ... clearly. But come oh, Oyibo people have too much Read More

Africans Are Immigrants, Too. Did You Know?

Africans Are Immigrants, Too. Did You Know?

I was just having this conversation with Igwe the other day about how every time they talk about Immigrants and Immigration, the focus is on the Hispanics/Latinos. Naturally, as an African Immigrant, this bothers me. For example, during every election, everybody wants the Latino votes. What about the African votes? I know people like to bundle us up as African Americans, but it is not that easy. I look at it more as there being Black Americans and then African Americans (us). As you know, Read More
