A LOSING GAME//


So it's not surprising that Rihanna & Chris got back together - well it is a bit - because we were all hoping that Rihanna wouldn't be like any other stupid broad and continue to be in love with someone who beat the ish out of you - but it was made official when they were spotted at Diddy's in Miami.

It just proves they'll continue to live like every domestic abuse couple.

Congratulations to the new Ike & Tina Turner of 2009, we hope that you'll survive Rihanna, and ultimately, after 20 years of abuse, you'll leave his ass and come out on top - when you're 45 years old.

It leaves me with one question: WHY CAN'T YOU be like Beyoncé? You don't see Jay tossin' her around.

TIME FOR YOUR DANCING TUTU//

So it's really frustrating knowing that I don't use the computer as much as I used to, only because of the fact that the recession has whipped me up in its whirlwind and left me without a job.

That job provided me with constant internet and a fast computer.

Now getting on the computer seems like such a pain. Ha Ha, & I think it's because I'm way too lazy now.

ANYHOW -

Rumored choreography for "EGO," and "VIDEO PHONE."

To tell the truth I didn't even make it through both because I already knew that Beyoncé would tear this ish up when it became official. That & the fact that one of the male dancers was wearing a fluorescent tutu - which was totally ridiculous by the way.





Oh my gosh and another thing.

I watched the most recent episode of the "Bad Girls Club," and can't even believe the mess that's going on! If both of the Ambers' were smart, they would have the girls get together so they could just start beating the sh*t out of them. After all, they complain that they want to go home, and like any other reality show, the number one rule that will get you kicked out immediately is fighting. At least they would do themselves justice with some kicking and punching before leaving.

Saw previews for the next episode and it looks as if one of the Ambers' did do the above - I just hope that Aliyah got a piece of that action because the bi*ch deserves to be knocked sideways.

Even though I hate the "Fab 5," (there's nothing fabulous about them) I can't seem to get over Ashley. Maybe its her eyebrows I love so much. NOT.

OH...ISH.


LORD.


So due to having to work last night, I had to catch a re-cap of the Oscars online.

I came across Beyoncé's performance and saw a glimpse of her in a revealing red number and thought - oh, maybe this is a past performance I've never seen.

Naw.

It was yesterday's.

Loved where the production was going...until lame-o Hugh Jackman and his broadway persona showed up...but I stayed content.

About clicked the "X," when I saw the disgustingly wannabe perfect couple Zac & Vanessa appear...and then they had the audacity to interrupt B's one thousandth performance of "At Last," with their wack, off-key vocals.

(Forgive me for saying this, but, at the time she started singing "At Last," I was really hoping for a surprise bitch slap from Etta James. I love 'ol girl, but the song was memorable for the presidential first dance and should have ended there.)

Oh but it gets so much more cheesier.

So Zac & Vanessa, Amanda and what's his face finish singing to each other, and they all start belting out "Mamma Mia."

Yeah, seriously.

I believe I had enough in me to watch the rest of the performance only out of respect for my love of Beyoncé.

Could this possibly be the FIRST time in MY LIFE, that I've actually felt disappointed by B's appearance?

I'm afraid it's so...

& please...spare me the trash you're going to talk about that dress.

I'm just going to imagine that she wore something fking AMAZING.

(Looks like Mama Tina took to the stylist throne this round.)

(Damn girl, even Taraji had a better dress than you. But props for not looking a mess like Whoopi.)

DEMURE//








SHOTS of B -

The Carters looking dapper as ever - at NBA All-Star weekend, A LeBron James Sprite Giveaway event - as well as with the Bryants at the LeBron "Two Kings," dinner.

Damn, if only I was in Phoenix last weekend!
OH, and also, previews of a new video I presume? Must be one of the slower jams on "I Am... Sasha Fierce," obviously, if she's on the beach in a green dress. You know Sasha Fierce wouldn't rock a long flowing dress anyday. And of course...no Lorraine Schwartz glove in sight.

Yeah, it's a B video.

DREAMGIRLS//


If you happened to watch the NAACP's last night, you already know that Beyoncé opened with "Halo," and she performed it beautifully.

Congratulations to Beyoncé for receiving an NAACP for "Outstanding Female Artist," and to Jennifer Hudson for receiving the NAACP for "Outstanding New Artist."

Below is the audio version of her performance, all thanks to the "Please Don't Stop The Music," blog, which is kick ass.

Press Play.

LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST//



My Beyoncé post for the day.

Here is Michelle, Kelly, & Beyoncé at Kelly's surprise birthday bash on February 11, 2009.
(These pictures squash those rumors of the possible severence between B & Kelly, since her departure from Music World Entertainment.)

Don't they look so much mature & sophisticated since the days of Destiny's Child?

I think so.

And here is Beyoncé at the "Unforgettable Evening Benefiting the Industry Foundation," event on February 10, 2009.

CALL FOR ACTION//

Apparently the recession took its toll - did anyone see the drab fashion at the Grammy's?

A few (keyword: FEW) favorites
  1. Kim Kardashian (a different hairstyle would have been better)
  2. Katy Perry
  3. M.I.A. (Yes, ridiculous, but clearly it's what her persona is all about)
  4. Ne-Yo (Congrats for not wearing the typical, boring ass tuxedo)
  5. Taylor Swift (Don't care for her music, but it was simple and classic)
  6. Jennifer Hudson (Three different palettes + three different textures = Perfect)
  7. Simon Baker (Ultimate cool, especially with the shades)

    Who the hell let Bai Ling & Kimberly Caldwell in?
    Love Duffy, but not the grandma gown.
    (Cue in Beyoncé to instill some confidence.)


(I think I'll keep my mouth shut about Rihanna & Chris Brown. After all, I'm three days late on reporting the news and everyone is sick of hearing about it. Chris Brown's a dick for beating up such a pretty girl, or frankly, a woman in general.)

SHIMMY SHIMMY//

Here's Lorraine Schwartz and the beautimus Beyoncé at the fete that Schwartz held for H.E. Yousef Al Otaiba, the ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the U.S.

Beyonce is shown here wearing a Hervé Léger gown.

What made me most proud of B is when Lorraine said "She's my muse," and "She's the best canvas an artist can have."


Beat that Stephen Webster & Christina Aguilera.

FASHION ON THE GO//

I am pretty excited to show you the following...especially because it has been awhile since I've had access to the computer (besides my little fellow I call "BlackBerry") and these two things I just find flat out amazing for being (somewhat) simple.



Here is the dress featured on Beyoncé in her "If I Were A Boy," video. And it's not modeled by just anyone...I was able to get Adriana Lima into it! (Kidding, kidding, it's actually my best friend Claudia but doesn't she model it well? Look at her legs, they're gorgeous!) The dress was purchased to wear for a concert, but unfortunately, due to the material being too rough and heavy, Claudia wasn't going to sacrifice herself for the fact that the dress might wear her like a body wrap in a sauna.


She opted for a violet colored dress that was much shorter around the leg (but of course, that region down there also needs to breathe :P).



And while I was at my less-than-glamorous second job (seriously, work is totally overrated) I came across a wonderful older woman who happened to be carrying this tote. I had to capture it on camera, because you only see a bag like this in magazines.

(FYI, it's Versace if you cannot see Medusa's head in the middle)

Beautiful, beautiful bag.

"WU,"ING THE FIRST LADY//



Here are two photos taken from last night's event on ABC, showcasing the first dance between the President & First Lady.

Also, a recap of Michelle's ensemble worn Inauguration day, as well as a glimpse at her beautiful gown (designed by Jason Wu, who is only 26 years old!) worn at the Neighborhood Ball.

YOU GOT ME...SPEECHLESS//

When you visit the two links below, you'll understand why I'm a true believer, and a true fan, for the wonderful sensation known as Beyoncé.

I'm so proud that she was given the honor of singing a classic for our new President, and what do you know, I was able to grab a version of the performance that's downloadable!

But the real tear jerker is when B is interviewed by Robin Roberts.

Take a look for yourself :]

POWER//


I am sooo proud to say that I idolize these two.
They're just so fantastic.
Thank you Jay-Z, for being able to combine fashion and hip-hop into one sentence, without it being too overrated like Sean John is to P.Diddy.

If you're a rapper it doesn't require you to wear pants that sag below your ass, that in turn make you waddle like a duck to keep them from falling down.

(Prime example? Take Lil' Wayne's wardrobe at the 2008 VMA's. He clearly makes this horrible trend look ridiculous.)

(FYI, the photo above was taken earlier at Obama's Inauguration)

AND MY FRAGRANCE...DIAMONDS//

I honestly don't know why anyone would say anything bad about this dress - because first, it's Beyoncé (then again, I am a die-hard fan so really, I have nothing bad to say about her period) but also because the dress was created by Elie Saab, who Beyoncé often wears (Elie Saab makes killer dresses).

The dress may look a little TOO form fitting - but Beyoncé has always been known to wear clothing that accentuates her curves - something that many women don't know how to do or, in more cases than not, over-do.

Not only does it give a visual of her amazing physique, but it also gives her a sexy amount of cleavage, enough to a point where she looks comfortable and can flaunt the elements of her female body without trying too hard. The necklace draped around her neck is dazzling (which completely makes sense due to someone of her stature) so both the piece and the dress compliment each other quite nicely.



Again, here we have Beyoncé wearing Elie Saab (straight off the runway, mind you) at the 2008 Grammy's. When comparing the two pictures, Beyoncé looks very volumptuous at the Golden Globes, while looking demure (and somewhat slimmer) at the Grammy's.

Either way, this woman deserves more accolade for her wardrobe options, but instead, according to many blogs and websites, she has continued to make one mistake after the other.

I believe that many people are taking it hard when noticing that Beyoncé is making that transition from your normal run-of-the-mill R&B sensation that is known for rocking skimpy outfits and singing about "bug-a-boos," to a more sophisticated, hollywood glam look.

She'll have your approval soon.
