Kells has a new song out called Be My #2

Let's hope this isn't the sequel to "I wanna piss on you".

Chris Brown is beggin you to play his songs

Chris Brown's post Grammy incident with Rihanna continues to take its toll on his career.  Requests for appearances, album sales, and radio airplay have all declined sharply for the young singer.  He took to his Say Now page to plead with fans to request his songs and with radio stations to add him to the regular rotations.  Have a listen: 

He prolly shouldn'ta tried dat

Same $h*t Different Day

Police are seeking Naomi Campbell in connection with an incident where she allegedly assaulted a driver with a cell phone...now, I love Naomi in all her bad girl glory.  I'm going to tell you, by now people should already know what they are going to get with her.  I tend to think people try to provoke her anger so they can get that big pay day they just know is coming.  Heck, I've got bills due!

Lil Wayne finally went to jail on Monday.  My local nightly news even showed the footage.  I haven't decided if it was just a slow news day or if the sight of ABM going to jail excited them.

In another historic moment

In another historic moment at the Oscars on Sunday, a woman won the Best Director category for the first time; Katherine Bigelow won for her Iraq War movie, The Hurt Locker, over her ex-husband James Cameron. Now, many critics had pegged Cameron to win, but you know there was a contingent of viewers who were hoping the award would go to Lee Daniels for Precious. Besides, you know the Academy voted for Hillary. The studio has not yet announced the DVD release date.

B*tch whatchu doin'?: woman pulls a Kanye at the Oscars

When the director of Music by Prudence came running down the aisle like he was on the Price is Right to accept his Oscar, the producer of the film Elinor Burkett--who had apparently been dismissed from the project--rushed the stage and pulled a Kanye interrupting him mid-syllable to monopolize his acceptance time.  He just stood there grinning hard and looking at her like "B*tch what the fcuk?"  Personally, I would have pushed her @ss into the orchestra pit, but that's just me.  I find it amazing the orchestra didn't start to play to drown her out or no security came up.  I find it even more amazing the media is NOT reporting on this incident at all!  Kanye's career took a nosedive after he interrupted Taylor Swift.  Who is speaking out for this dude?  No one but bloggers and Black folk, that's who.

The Oscars honored Michael Jackson

The Academy of Motion Pictures just honored Michael during the memoriam segment on the Oscars! I was in tears! I wasn't expecting that at all!!!!! Michael appears at 2:44; they show pictures from Thriller, the Wiz, and the Panther Dance.

M'onique's Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress was the highlight of the evening

Let's take a look at how she got to where she is today:

Attendees at the Essence luncheon reflect on the significance of the Oscars for women of color

Fashion at the Oscars: M'onique's dress killed it!

Monique's dress shined last night, which was fitting because it was HER night.  She was the best-dressed out of all the Best Supporting Actress nominees last night, and her hair and make up were flawless.  Gabby Sidibe was dressed in bold electric blue while her mother appeared in a classic black dress.  I was happy to see Gabby walk the red carpet with such confidence, but I thought her dress could have been bolder, less classic, and more flattering than it was.  I also felt she needed a bit more color in her makeup given the bright color of the dress.  Zoe Saldana appeared in shades of iridescent lavender.  I thought the bodice of the dress could have been more flattering given her petite frame, but her hair and make up were classic and tasteful.  Host Sherrie Shepperd sported what must have been an industrial brassiere to support her unbalanced look in that dress.  Her stylist also could have chosen something much more flattering given her recent and very public weight loss.  Host Vivica Fox chose a sleeveless black number that showed off her curves to perfection; unfortunately, her weave was not on point.  As a matter of fact, it was not even on her head properly.  Note to her hair stylist, a natural hairline for a woman does not begin all the way at the crown of her head.  What weave was there looked good, but her giant forhead and naked front of her head were distracting the entire time she was on camera.  Sherrie Shepperd should have hooked her up.
