Halle’s horny(?), Beyoncé’s ‘Ego’-tripping

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

1. Is Halle Berry horny?
I’m a huge Halle Berry fan, but WTF was up with Halle and Jamie Foxx at the Spike TV Awards last week? Maybe they should just blame it on the alcohol! Based on these seductive photos, Halle might be pregnant again, this time with Jamie’s baby!

Speaking of Miss Berry, I had to post this video of her doing the “Halle Berry” dance on Ellen a few months ago. Go Halle! Get ‘em girl!

3. “Ego”-tripping:
Beyoncé recently released her video for the song “Ego.” Apparently the song has a double meaning: Supposedly she’s talking about Jay Z’s package, not his self confidence, if you get my drift. But that’s neither here nor there. We can all agree that Beyoncé is a great entertainer, but one of my favorite YouTube personalities Detrick, is the winner of this dance off! You be the judge:

WTF? Wednesday: Eminem’s secret formula for hits, a new Kevin bacon game and more

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

1. Mike Tyson’s Daughter Dies
I was saddened to hear about the death of Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter today.

2. Where in the World is Kevin Bacon’s Blackberry?

I had to post this because I was actually in New York for the Memorial Day weekend when this story broke. I got off the D train and stopped at a convenience store in Harlem on 134th and Lenox. While I was waiting for my friend to pay for her items, I picked up the Post, which had a cover story about Bacon getting robbed on the subway. Poor guy. Am I the only one who likes the fact that he still rides the subway even though he’s a star?  I hope he gets his Crackberry back.  I wouldn’t know what to do without mine.

3. Dear Eminem: I Think You Made That Song Already
I just realized last week that  Eminem’s “new music” sounds exactly like his old music as I was listening to “We Made You? on 96.1 The Beat. Seriously, his new songs “We Made You” and “Crack a Bottle” are way too reminiscent of his old hits “My Name Is” and “Just Lose It.”  Apparently this is his formula: Make fun of celebrities +  Mention Dr. Dre’s name + Sing an annoying hook = A hit song.  But don’t take my word for it, even MTV agrees, it’s pretty much more of the same.

4. VH1’s Charm School Host Lala Vasquez Goes Off on Dallas Fans
I saw this video of Lala, who has a son with Denver Nugget Carmello Anthony, going off on fans last week, but I had to post it today after watching the latest episode of VH1’s Charm School last night. (Yes, I admit that show is one of my guilty pleasures … but I digress.) Although Ricki Lake and Lala are trying to teach the ladies how to be charming; based on this recent video, the Charm School chicks might be rubbing off on Lala. In her defense, she said she was only responding after Dallas fans were taunting her and her son.

WTF Wednesday: Swizz Beats, Pink, Alicia Keys and one dumb baby daddy

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Hello Creative Loafers.  In the words of Jay-Z: “Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Neph…”  So now that we are BFFs, I need to share with you the top three things in Hollyweird that are making me scratch my head and say “WTF?” on this wonderful Wednesday afternoon:

1. Pink pulls a Katie Perry
So Pink supposedly told a tabloid that she is “drum roll please” BISEXUAL!  Uh, ok, no surprise there … but apparently she thinks we didn’t know that already because she’s using her Twitter account to tell the universe that she is so not bisexual. Oh, and according to her, bisexuality is so 1991. WTF?!  I still love her music. Pink rocks. Period.

2. Very married hip-hop producer Swizz Beats confirms he’s dating Alicia Keys
Rumors about Swizz Beats and Alicia Keys dating have been circulating forever. The initial leak came from Mashonda, the very unhappy wife of Swizz Beats who is also the mother of his child. Well, Swizz recently confirmed that Alicia is his “Boo.” WTF! So does this officially make Alicia Keys a hip-hop homewrecker?  I’m just saying …

3. I wish a man would cheat on me after I birthed eight of his children
This whole Jon and Kate Plus Eight drama wasn’t even on my radar screen until last night. A friend and I were walking down Tryon, headed to The Color Purple play when a Fox Charlotte cameraman tried to get us to go on camera to talk about how we felt about this hot topic. We declined since neither of us watches the show, but apparently the rest of America is watching it. Honestly, the idea of eight children running around on my television screen is not my idea of entertainment. That sounds more like torture for a single gal like me.
