Slowly Surely

My quest from J-hud's body to B's booty is looking good despite having to celebrate the season with numerous dinners.

My Goal is to be there by Easter. Imagine my surprise when I found out that this Easter is in March (not April). This means I have to work even harder. Ugh.

What Our Girls Up To

Dana Owens, aka Queen Latifah is going to be in the upcoming movie The Perfect Holiday alongside, Gabrielle Union and others. Also her latest jazz album has been getting a lot of praises so go support your girl!

Mo'nique is going to star as a weekend receptionist at the fictional Mode Magazine on Ugly Betty.

Raven Symone is going to be starring in the upcoming movie, College Road Trip with Martin Lawrence. The movie is in post production and hopefully will be release in 2008.

Why is Iman so beautiful?

Seriously, this chick is raping me with her makeup prices and yet I still love her. Iman cosmetics is the best in the market for ladies of colour by the way.

I don't have much to say but I hope that I can age as wonderfully as she has. Watch her on Project Runway Canada on Slice.

Why Did I Get Married

My initial rating for this movie was a 6.5 outta 10 (the more I thought about it the lower it got). Even though it wasn't excellent I still recommend that people go see it because it had some funny, touching and thoughtful points in it.

I think that my reaction to the movie was tainted because I read a negative review for it in the Toronto Star (2 outta 5 if I remember correctly). I know a middle age white guy wouldn't appreciate the movie but he did make some good comments that seem to hold true to most of Tyler P's movies.

A) It was too long: Why Did I was just under 2 hrs but it spent most of that time showing the conflict and not enough time with the resolution which leads to the next issue

B) Ending was too rushed: Same thing with Daddy's Little Girls (which I loved Idris Elba in), the movie detailed everything in depth and then pulls a microwaved ending. Why Did I left me with a question or too (not important questions but still it would have been nice to know---I won't say what because it'll ruin it for you)

C) It was fairytale-ish with the ending: aka Happily ever after like. Which is expected from a Tyler P production

Like I said I still recommend people go see it because overall it's a good movie (highlights: 20/80 rule -from TD Jakes, Tasha Smith and the foine sheriff)

ciao

P.S don't forget that This Christmas (Chris Brown, Idris Elba, Perfect Holiday (Gabrielle Union), and American Gangster (Denzel Washington) are coming out this season!

The Britney Saga..she has MJS

Blah. Blah. Blah.

Now that I've said that I can move on. I think that Brit is just suffering from what I call the Michael Jackson Syndrome (MJS). She just grew up too fast, had no childhood (even though I don't think that is good reason enough to be a screw up, it seems to be sufficient for celebs).

The reason why MJS is different from plain ol' ‘not having a childhood’ (when kids have to grow up too fast due to serious issues-family, disease) is because MJS’s have 'yes men'. Brit and the name sake of the disease have been the centre of their universe for a while and although their families tried to keep them grounded, eventually their inner circle became filled with people who didn't care about them as humans—they just want their handouts.

It's a sad situation for them but what makes it worse is the constant discussion in the media. I'M SICK OF BRITNEY NEWS. I feel sorry for the chick but damn. People are losing their lives in Iraq and in our neighbourhoods—there are bigger issues out there.

One Love, Britney, and I hope you get better soon. Shame on those who don't see that you need help.
P.S. She is not fat!!! She may not be as toned as she was before 2 kids but she looks damn good!

Weight Obsession-take one

janet, mariah, beyonce, ashanti, britney.

what do they have in common? their weight fluctuates, as it should. but for some reason when we see it on them we think that that's it for them. like when bey put back on the weight she lost for her role in dream girls everyone was commenting on it as if a) she didn't look good and b) she would never be able to lose it.

these are stars. it's their job to look good when they are working (promoting an album, in concert etc.) does it matter if they put on some weight when they are on their off-season? no, it doesn't and it damn well shouldn't. these people have access to professionals (trainers and cooks) that can have them down to a size 4 before me or you could even lose 5lbs.

i'm for celebrating our non-stick-thin celebs so i give props to all those who are showing their curves!!!

ps. look out for my essay on the "downfall" of britney...

Personal Info!!!

can i tell you that some how in the last 2 months or so i have put on 20lbs! how is that possible? in any event i don't like it. everything thing that i love wearing like my H&M tweed blazer has decided to stop fitting and if i do fit into it i look and feel darn uncomfortable.

with that being said...i'm pretty much disgusted that i let it get this bad and have decided to do Self Magazine's new you program (its on self.com). i've been doing it for the last 3 days and already i've lost 2lbs. i know i have a way to go but we'll see how it works out.

officially now i'm 185 and if i'm going to commit to something i might as well go all the way so my goal is going to be 145ish in 6 months (24 wks) to lose the 40. wish me luck!

if you're thinking about weight loss too check out http://jasmynecannick.typepad.com/jasmynecannickcom/weight_loss_diary/index.html

this girl is very inspiring she's lost over 60lbs in 24 weeks!

lata and wish me luck...

Countess Wrong Vaughn

i recently saw the funniest star confidential on tv showing the bff's of tv and guest who was on it? countess duh!

now before i rant let me just say i've loved this girl since seeing her on star search and then on 227 but she needs to get it together. up on tv talking bout the multiply surgeries she got (lipo in like 4 places plus a butt pump). and the worse things was i didn't even notice the difference. my goodness she was still big (i know on parkers they barely mentioned her weight as if to say being 4'10 and 160lbs plus is normal-its not) and to top it off she was in denial-saying that she was satisfied and thinks she looks great! ha.

countess, best of luck with your desired singing career. i just hope that you embrace your body and stay away from the surgeries...and btw what's up with gaining weight on the celebrity fit club?

American Idol Plus

so i know that i'm way behind but it has just come to my attention that some low self-esteem blonde chick named meme roth has called my girl Jordin Sparks obese!?!? WTMuck?

she is tall (i think 5 '9 or more) and has shape and apparently that's what is passing for obese nowadays. well that leave no hope for me and my 5 '4 -on a good day- ass.

it's so twisted that in 2007 there is dumb idiots in this world that don't realize that we were meant to be in different shapes and sizes. miss roth also said that her prediction is that jordin will win and then lose up to 40lbs just like other Idol winners. fat chance, no pun intended :), jordin has already said that she has spent a majority of her life dieting so i'm guessing she has grown to love where she is and despite her 'obesity' she still won Idol. also which Idol winners did she see that lost weight? most have gained like Ruben, Fantasia and even Kelly.

miss meme roth just pissed me off but on a brighter note she seemed to have piss everyone off too. some skinny bitch need to shut-up. yah, there is a weight problem with youths in america but damn it using jordin as an example is just stupid.

jordin, you go girl!
