Aaliyah & Drake - Enough Said

      I have and will always be an Aaliyah fan. When news of her passing hit the media in 2001 I was heartbroken. One of the greatest singers of all time had been taken away from us and she was only 22 years old.

    Now, we all know about Drakes's love (I say obsession) with the fallen songstress so it was no surprise when he did a track featuring her vocals. Now in my opinion, "Enough Said" sounds like an unfinished Aaliyah project but her vocals are still as smooth as ever. The song could've done without Drake's rap but whatever, let's hear your take on it.

   Oh yeah, and I still think this song should've been released/produced via her music family, Missy Elliot, Timbaland, and Ginuwine.





Mo' Money Mo' Problems: Plaxico Burress Owes Over $59K in Taxes

I swear I must pose this question atleast twice a week: What's up with celebrities not paying their taxes? Lauryn Hill, Young Buck, Wesley Snipes and now NFL player Plaxico Burress can add his name to the list of celebrities that don't know how to pay up.


The unemployed wide receiver just had a tax lien filed against him in the state of New York for the amount of over $59,000. According to legal documentation, Plaxico didn’t pay all his personal income tax for the year 2007 and now the Empire State is looking to collect on the $59,241 he supposedly owes.

Plaxico Burress is currently unemployed which is definitely not going to help him. Before all the money woes, Burress was the top wide receiver for the New York Giants and he had inked a six year, $25 million contract but he can kiss all that bye bye because his stint in jail on a weapons charge put that money train on park.

He better come up with something fast before the Feds pull a Young Buck on his ass and start auctioning his stuff.

2012 Olympics

Congratulations to Gabby Douglas, the first African American girl to compete and win on the uneven bars in the women's individual all-around final Thursday at the 2012 London Olympic Games. As an African American women, I am proud of her. Gabrielle Douglas poses with her gold medal after winning the women's individual all-around.She has taken home a win for the United States and she is only 16. Such a way to go. As a nation we all are beyond proud, I know her family members are filled with joy as Douglas made history. It must be an amazing feeling knowing that you are the first too make a record in that category. She is an excellent gymnast with a great work ethic. She has also received the recognition from President Barack Obama, Oprah and many others. I like too see people like her age to things with there life. It is such an accomplishment. You do not have to be a Olympic gold medal, but doing something possible with your life and excelling in it is beyond what words can explain.

College Students!!!!

It is a month and a few days before schools starts. All college students make sure you have filled out your FASFA.(Free Application for Federal Student Aid) http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ Filling out the FASFA form determines how much federal aid such as, unsubsidized and subsidizes and or  pell grants you will receive for the upcoming school semesters based on your and or parents tax returns. (W-2) By now all of those forms should have been completed. Between now and the next few weeks for students living up north, payment for school is due. Hopefully financial aid can cover all costs; if not there are other options you can explore. For students who can pay monthly you set up a payment plan through tuition management system. @ afford.com <--- They are very helpful I have used that service my first three years of college. Or of course there is Sallie  Mae loans services or other private loans you can contact.  If you can not pay for school and do not know what to do, meet with your financial aid counselors. That is what they are their for, you pay them to help and guide you through your college career. Remember to stay on top of your financial aid obligations and forms. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. I am also a college student and I know how hard it can be. Be smart and handle your priorities before it is too late.

Beyonce & Jay Z

Our favorite Bonnie and Clyde Couple has done it again. Who else Beyonce and JayZ. The two people in the industry who are richer than rich!!! For the month of August they will be vacationing in the Hampton's. That is not out of the norm for celebrities. But get this the vacation house is 400 K a month. Can you believe that ? I don't think half of us have even spent near 400 K. So for them to spend that on just the house alone. YES my Eyes are green with envy. The house is 31,000 square foot with bolling alleys and a recording studio. 400K I just have to say it again who in the world would spend that amount on just a house? Well when you can afford every and anything you want you can do anything you want. Little baby Blue at only six months is vacationing where many of us will never get to see. Well enough of my jealousy lol.
