What did the five fingers say to the face?!

SLAP! And that's exactly what happened to one Miss Leona Lewis (well some say she was slapped and some say she was punched) at her book signing last week. My younger sister told me about it and I laughed (at first. Sorry Leona) although she wasn't sure if it indeed was Leona Lewis. I told her I'd do a search and then blog about it if, indeed, it was true. And apparently it is according to People.com.

People are crazy. Fans are crazy. Being a celebrity is tough business. Glad I have my fans under control. ;)

This song couldn't be anymore (in)appropriate. Well, the title anyway...

Remember them?





Caramel was the jam back what? 8 years ago?! According to Wikipedia there are rumors circulating that a end of 2009 reunion is to take place. Hmmm... It's October already so probably not. But wouldn't mind seeing 'em back on the music scene again. Nothing commercial, however. ;)

Remember this too?

Not so "Fresh Out The Oven"...

Jennifer Lopez AKA J.Lo AKA Jenny From The Block AKA Mrs. Marc Anthony NowKnownAs... Lola (pronounced low-la). So who is Lola exactly? Well, clicking on the link eventually gets you to Jennifer Lopez asking the same question. The obvious guess would be that Lola is her alter ego. So what's the deal with alter egos and celebs these days?! Beats me but apparently it seems like the new thing to do. Almost trendy perhaps and who would J.Lo be if she didn't continue to follow the trends? Post 2 failed marriages, 1 failed engagement, (does anybody remember when she dated P.Diddy?! LoL!) then finally... a marriage that seems to be well towards a bronze which includes a double dose of diaper changes. No wonder she felt the need to create Lola. Anyway, she's back and singing, not really. She's back and still sounding as terrible as when she put out her very first song 'If You Had My Love'. Does she have a singing coach? No? Well, can she get one? She hires someone for everything else she needs done. Or at least some autotune maybe? Just a little?! J.Lo, oh excuse me, Lola does look better than ever but that's not so much a good thing when your semi-fans continue to just be satisfied by simply looking at you and totally disregard the fact that you sing. Or continue to try to anyway. Can you go back to acting? Maybe? And stay there? Then perhaps you wouldn't have felt the need to create a Lola

I. Can't. LeaveYouAloooooone. You got me feenin'

Lookin' thru some pics on my friends FB page I come across some footage that he had taken of some of his CDs. Feelin' obviously nostalgic, one of the pics contained the CDs of Jodeci and K-Ci & JoJo. Oh boy does that bring back all kinds of memories! Although I shall spare you the filthy details of my mid to late 90's escapades I shall, however, follow up this thought with a few of my faves from this R&B super group... Enjoy.

Last Night's Letter

Now And Forever

Love Ballad

and I know you remember this...


Even though the original belongs to Bobby Womack for the 90's kid this song was K-Ci's ;)
and P.S. When I was in high school I swore up and down that I was gonna marry Mr. Dalvin. Just sayin'. LoL!

Life is/Better/Now that/Now that I found you...

I know that's how you feel when you find the love of your life or rather, another new love ;) But this is how Q-Tip feels about Hip Hop and well, sometimes that's how I feel about Hip Hop. The shout-outs are well deserved and this video only makes this song even more wonderful to listen to and Ms Norah Jones is the perfect compliment =)

The bitch is bad... a bit crazy, but bad...

So not every performance of Lady Gaga's is noteworthy and can stray more towards coocoo (like her performance at the VMA's) but she obviously likes performing her hit single 'Paparazzi' and I enjoyed this particular showcase on Saturday Night Live.

Enjoy as I've enjoyed...
