New issue of Marie Claire Magazine-Miley Cirus

So while I was grocery shopping I had to go down the magazine aisle. Who else did I see "Hannah Montana" Miley Cirus on the front cover, she looked so mature and grown. Yeah I know the hype about this child star being engaged and doing "outrageous things" or so it seems. When you grow up in the public eye as a child star then you are not suppose to be doing certain things. HMMM she seems like a normal teenager-young adult. There are just some things as people who are watching these celebrities that we have to understand that they are going to get older. Things should be a lot different now that her  Disney channel TV show has come to an end. Maybe she will not be judged as much any more.

But on a fashion note definitely check out this month issue of Marie Claire. It is a double issue with all of the end of the summer and the upcoming fall wear. Expensive but trendy. This magazine gives you all the trends but the alternative store that you can shop at to achieve the same look.

Drag Queen Barbie by Mattel

Mattel is one of the most sought after and famous brand of children's toy manufactures but their highest ranking item is none other than the beautiful Barbie Doll. From the time of her creation, Barbie has gone through numerous changes in culture, career, hair and style but this latest creation is definitely going to take the cake...

According to reports, Mattel has partnered with upstart design dup The Blonds to release a collector’s edition Drag Queen Doll. Dubbed, The Blonds Blond Diamond doll, the item will sell for $125 and hit the internet in time for Christmas.

I'm not too sure how different this doll is going to be but I know its definitely going to get more than a few side-eyes and whispers.

Azealia Banks and Her Controversial Magazine Cover

Azealia Banks is one of those artists who's name is constantly in folk's mouths an this time, is no different.

 Azealia Banks is on the cover of the latest cover of UK Magazine "Dazed and Confused" holding a blown up condom to her mouth as if she's puffing on a cigarette or a cigar. This particular issue has already been banned in several states and I can see why. It is a condom, it's against her lips and it gives off the wrong message. I think because she's so young (keep in mind, this femcee is only 20), people still want her to be a role model to young women and I'm sorry but that's not an image I would want either of my daughter's to see. It's just like the famous Lil Kim pose which Nicki Minaj later reinvented that blew minds everywhere. There is a certain image that is acceptable and there are certain images we'd rather not see. These are just some of the many on my personal list I'd rather go without.

What's your take on the cover?

Drake and Chris Brown Sued Over Nightclub Brawl

Remember when we told you about Drake and Chris Brown throwing bottles at Teyana Taylor's listening party? Well they both have been hit with a $15 million lawsuit from the owners of the nightclub.

Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., the company that owns WiP nightclub in NYC, claims in the suit that both stars “shared a grudge against the other arising out of their romantic relationships with the same woman.” (Rihanna)

EEL also claims in their suit — obtained by the New York Post — when Drake and Brown crossed paths, they “began to fight violently with each other.”
The suit goes on to say… “Each arrived with his own small army of bodyguards, ‘security’ personnel, employees, friends and other members of their entourage consisting of at least 15 heavily built men trained and/or experienced in hand-to-hand and weapons combat.”

The suit also credits the crews of both Drake and Chris with ingenuity, claiming they “fashioned deadly weapons out of whatever materials they could find; including glasses, alcohol bottles and furniture.”

The say the power of a woman's vajayjay will make a man do crazy thangs and in this case, it's causing them to pay out of pocket.

New Artist: Austin Brown

Today is the day Brandy's video "Put It Down" featuring Chris Brown is supposed to debut on BET's 106th and Park but either I missed it or I didn't wait long enough because I have yet to see it. However, while watching 106th and Park, a new artist was introduced to us named Austin Brown. He is a part of the 106th and Park "Music Matters" campaign and his backstory is legendary.

Austin Brown is the youngest child and only son of Reebie Jackson who is part of the musical Jackson Family.

In 2004, Austin signed with Interscope Records and announced plans of releasing his new album in 2006, however, those plans backfired as no new album emerged. During this time, he began recording music with the likes of Rodney Jerkins and Walter Afanasieff. In 2009, he and Chester Aldridge co-founded the independent label, the Royal Factory where Brown also signed as an artist to help distribute his albums.

In 2010, Brown released a buzz single, "Target Practice", which was produced and co-written by Rodney Jerkins. In July 2011, he released his first single, "All I Need", from his upcoming album, Highway 85'. He premiered the track on an episode of Lopez Tonight the day after he released the single. Highway 85 currently doesn't have a release date. He has also released the popular single 'Menage a Trois'. The single was released on February 14, 2012 and the video of 'Menage a Trois' is available on Brown's Vevo page on YouTube.

On BET, Austin said that Jermaine Dupri has been instrumental in helping him with his career as both a mentor and management. They debuted his song 'Menage' as a New Video and you can definitely tell he's a Jackson. The video was in black and white but I was taken back by how much he resembled his Uncle Michael in both looks and sound. Below is Austin's video and I hope you all add this artist to your musical radar because I know I'm adding him to mine =)

Rest in Paradise: Ron Palillo aka TV's Horshack

The television show 'Welcome Back, Kotter' was popular in the mid to late 1970's. It starred actors, John Travolta, Gabe Kaplan, Lawrence Hilton Jacobs, Ron Palillo and Robert Hegyes. My mother used to watch the program and she in turn introduced me to it and I too fell in love with the show (and both John Travolta and Lawrence Hilton Jacobs :)) Which is why it hurts me to write this post..

At about 4 a.m. this morning, actor Ron Palillo suffered an apparent heart attack at his home and could not be revived. He was pronounced dead at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. He was 63 years old.

For those of you who aren't familiar with who Ron Palillo is, he played the character Arnold Horshack on the TV 'Welcome Back, Kotter' where one of his catchphrases was ""Oooh, oooh" as he'd throw his hand up in the air whenever a teacher asked a question.

Rest in Paradise, Ron Palillo, your memory will live on in the heart and minds of your fans. We love you

Momma Dee meets Sister Patterson

So I was going to initially blog about Love and Hip Hop Atlanta amongst other things today. But, I had to stop for a minute and talk about Lil Scappy's mother. I am not sure if the point of this show is to embarrass black people as some sort of ignorant, untamed, and uneducated race. How you tell your son the way too treat women is to play them. Every women that he is around she tries to get them out his life or call them "bitches" and so on. I am no
Saint but as a mother she should have some sort of respect for herself. Her outburst and ignorant advice does
Not do justice for a black woman such as herself. For years when women and black people have been oppressed and went through so many movements to better them selves; "civil rights & women suffrage." The way she continues to act on national television says a lot about her character and the person she is. I can not judge because I am not GOD, but when filming her she needs to conduct her self with more respect. The more I watch the shows she reminds me of Tiffany Pollard, "New York, from the show I love New York" Mother sister Patterson. Just rude, obnoxious and ignorant. The only different is Sis. Patterson knows how to spell. They look like sisters what do you guys think?
