Babbling Bee's favorite Bee

Babbling Bee's favorite Bee star "KeKe Palmer the little girl who starred in the hit movie "Akeelah and the Bee; are one the most underrated celebrities. She caught my attention when Nickelodeon premiered the new movie "Rags" on May 28th which also starred  Max Schneider and Drake Bell. It was basically a modern day musical. I absolutely LOVED IT. Everyone that knows me know that I am not a fan of musicals, although I attend many of them. Besides the point she did an amazing job. She is a kid type Disney & Nick star. But she has an incredible talent that should be recognized more and more especially by the black community. Hey its just my opinion, but YouTube her music and even some of her singing acapella, and you will be quite shocked. She reminds me of an Aaliyah, Brandy and Beyonce. Do not knock a kid star before you listen. Trust I can see her as huge singer one day! 

The heat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay cool in this heat everyone. Over the past few days in the Jersey area, there has been a heat wave. Temps in the high 90's. Crazy right. It was the days too stay in door and not do anything that you do not have too. June 20-24th the temps were soo high that if felt like you wanted to peel your skin off. We know you can not do that but it obviously felt like it. When it is hott out everyone wants to go to the beach make sure you have water, sun block, an umbrella and such items. You want to keep your self protected against the sun rays.

 

GOOD LUCK IN THE HEAT.

Words of Wisdom from BB

We have not posted that much in the past 48 hours and their are so many things that we have to and NEED to report on. But one subject that I have took touch on is self esteem in younger kids in today's generation. I find a lot of teenagers are trying to change their image because of some way that they feel they need to look like or dress like in order to fit in. Too fit in is too stand out. Why blend with the rest of the crowd when you can be different unique in your in own way. Yeah yeah I know you guys are reading like WTF is the Babbling bee talking about.. But trust and believe the older you get you start to realize it. Like why is it the norm to fit and be like everyone else. The older people in my family always say why follow pattern and fill the suit. Create your own path way and know that you can do what you want in life. It just depends on you. For example look at plus size model Toccara, ''Queen Latifah'' who is a plus size African American cover girl.The so called geeky kid in class who is know making millions, the little boy who created Alex's Lemonade. Do not let anyone decide your path for you.

CREATE YOUR OWN

Rest in Paradise

 

The Babbling Bee's are sad to say, we woke up late last night/early this morning to the news of yet another celebrity's passing... Yvette Wilson who you may all know as Andell Wilkerson of the hit TV shows, Moesha and The Parkers has lost her battle with cervical cancer and is no longer with us. Via her The Parkers co-star, Ken L's Facebook page, he reached out to the fans to give us the news.

"My co-star Yvette Wilson transitioned today.

She was a very talented, and nurturing figure in my life.

Her physical presence will be missed. R.I.P. Loved One... :/"

-via Kenneth Lawson's personal Facebook page

Yvette was not only battling cancer, she was also suffering from problems with her kidneys and was in need of a kidney transplant. Her friend Jeffrey Pittle created a website so that people could donate money to help with her medical expenses (medical bills and assistance with transportation costs.) The website raised 56% of the $25,000 needed.



While we write this post to give you all the news, we also share this with you so that you can all take heed. Cancer of any kind does not target one specific type of person or group of people. So do your part and call up your doctor, schedule an appointment and know your history. It could be the difference between life and death.

What is the deal?

So I am sure we were all on twitter and witness the rants and pictures that flooded twitter late last night early this morning. Who else would it involve but ,Chris Brown, Drake and Meek Mills? Claims were made that the bottle that was thrown at Chris Brown and took out a piece of his face was by Drake. According toTMZ Drake's camp states that he nothing to do with it. Could this fight be over Princess RiRi?I hope not!! Of course Chris Brown ranted on twitter and deleted it later on; as if he did not say anything. Lets not jump to conclusions we were not there to testify exactly what happen. Many claims are made stating that Brown sent Drake a bottle and Drake sent it back. Drake was making hand gestures and Brown's camp retaliated. All of this over Rihanna, hand gestures...... The party was suppose to be celebrating "Teyanna Taylors'' signing to G.O.O.D music. Oh child this industry is getting so crazy with internet thugs and artists acting crazy. Not saying that these artists are not talented but the contstant drama??!! Why delete what you said though?

Controversy curved wedges

Controversy by Chinese Laundry. Ladies, you know what the hottest trend in footwear is? CURVED WEDGES! All the hottest celebrities have been seen rocking them from Kelly Rowland to Ashanti! What do you think about these Controversy curved wedges by Chinese Laundry? Could you see yourself rocking them?

Our favorite "Sister to Sister" character as known as Melanie Barnett on B.E.T "The Game" took to twitter a few weeks ago, stating that she will not return for season six. Melanie's character is currently one of the stars of the show in which her relationship between her and "Co-Start" Pooch "Derwin Davis" Hall revolves around. Will the Game's rating survive after this? Rumor also has it that Pooh Hall will be leaving the show as well. Many fans are not happy about this. I  was a hardcore fan of "The Game" but after that news I really didn't watch it. It sucks when your favorite shows characters decides to leave the show, you almost feel as though they owe you something. (laughs) even though they really don't. Separation Anxiety........but we shall see how the ratings are when the "The Game" returns in the fall.

In Honor of Father's Day...

"I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy" -Beyonce, "Daddy

   As I sit here and type this blog entry in honor of Father's Day, I can't help but think about my own non-exsistent relationship with my father. However, I've been blessed with an amazing father figure and through him, I know the love between a girl and her daddy. In honor of Father's Day fastly approaching this Sunday, the Babbling Bee's want to pay homage to some of the best dads and father figures on television.

Heathcliff Huxtable, The Cosby Show

Bill Cosby as Cliff Huxtable was THE EPITOME of a great dad. He was the coolest dad on television but his laid back persona was not to be toyed with. While he was always calm and comedic, he gave his children well-rounded advice, support, and love. He was a great husband and the ultimate family man.

Frank Mitchell, Moesha

Frank Mitchell was the overbearing, overprotective father of Moesha and Myles Mitchell. While his overbearing and overprotective style of parenting was a bit much at times, you could tell it was always from the heart. Not only was he a father to his own children, he was also the surrogate to Moesha's best friend and next door neighbor, Hakeem. A father is supposed to protect his children and there was no lengths Frank wouldn't go to for his kids.

Eric Camden, 7th Heaven

TV's preacher dad, Eric Camden was the All-American Dad. He ran his home the same way he ran his ministry; with faith, love and patience. Being a parent is a hard task for anyone to take on but Eric made it seem like a walk in the park.

Michael Kyle, My Wife and Kids

Funny man, Damon Wayans played Michael Kyle on TV's "My Wife and Kids." His parenting style was very unique in the way that he always added comedy to the lessons he taught his family. Michael had a full-time load with his wife, three kids, work and their extended family which consisted of his kids' friends and his employees but the family itself never lacked love and attention. He made sure to make time for his family and he always gave his support.

NOTE: There are several other great TV dads but to keep this post semi-short, we only chose four. Just because we didn't list Ray Campbell, Carl Winslow and the like does not mean we did not love them.

Jersey one short of a Snooki

 Nicole "Snooki" will be returning to the next season of the Jersey Shore reality show. But she will not be living in the house with the rest of cast. She states in a "Good Morning America" interview that she does not want to be tempted by alchol. Maybe she has gotten her act together. For all of us who watch "Jersey Shore" or even read the magazines we know that 4'11 Snooki can put away some liquour. Will the show be as interesting without Nicole living in the house? Or even in other words be as eventful. I Guess we shall see with the new season of "Jersey Show" premiering  sometime in the fall or spring on MTV. Stay tuned.

Finish or Not?

When is women work finish?
Sick, Hungry, Tired.
We strive.
Cook, teach, fix.
We do.
How about men too?
Mothers, Moms, Nurtures.
Womens work.
24/7.365
Go to sleep late just to work the nine to five.
Home in time just to clean the mess.
24/7.365
Hospital bed sick as a dog.
Still working making calls
Sit...Sit back and think.
When is women work finish?
Is she dead yet?
JUST THINK...
-Unknown                           


Found this interesting poem or thoughts what ever we decided to call it. But it makes you think about a women's work.
