Morning Wood: Breyz By Request
Some of you ladies have been very hard on my Morning Wood men here lately. It seems I can’t post a decent Morning wood without getting complaints from ungrateful readers.
Well, one of my loyal readers says Breyz will shut all that down. She said if you ladies don’t find Breyz sexy, maybe you need to leave the DL brothas alone so you’ll recognize a real man when you see one!
Breyz is pronounced ‘breeze’ and he is the perfect package: he’s tall, sexy, handsome, an entrepreneur and a fitness trainer. Oh, and he dabbles in modeling and he’s a decent rapper too!
Did I say he lives in Atlanta?

BET Names Rihanna Style Icon of the Year
I’ve been saying all year that Rihanna was way ahead of her competition in terms of personal style and trend setting.
It looks like BET was paying attention!
From BET.com:
Rihanna is the ultimate style icon. The girl knows fashion, but she never looks like she’s trying too hard. That’s why we’re honoring her as 2008′s Fashion Icon of the Year.“Growing up, I wore my brother’s clothes, dresses with sneakers, or no shoes at all … I own over 100 pairs of shoes now.” (LINK)
Congrats to Rihanna!
Beyonce Makes Last Ditch Attempt To Get Invited to Inauguration
BeYAWNce just won’t quit! With 22 days left before the nation witnesses the swearing in of the 44th president, Bey is pulling out all stops to get herself invited to the inauguration.
In what has to be her most blatant attempt yet to get Barack Hussein Obama’s attention, she has released a track titled “God Bless the U.S.A.” or “Proud to be An American.”
As usual, she screams all over the track, annihilating it with her screeching oversinging.
When will she finally realize they don’t want her there?
Destiny’s Children: Cater 2 U
Unlike a Beyonce or Destiny’s Child video, I was able to watch this video in its entirety from beginning to end.
It was a pleasure to watch three beautiful brown girls so in tune with their own natural beauty. Especially in this day and age when 100% pure black women are noticeably absent from music videos, television and films.
Images like these aren’t what the Jewish run music industry and media wants us to see.
Thanks to loyal reader bellaprincess2007 for sending this in!
PICS: Rocko’s Birthday Party Hosted By Monica @ Straits (12/28)
Atlanta’s own Monica threw a private birthday bash for her fiance Rocko last night at Straits and all of Atlanta’s elite came through to wish Rocko a happy birthday. The event was held at the restaurant owned by Mo’s cousin Ludacris who turned his restaurant over to Mo for the night.
Family and close friends dined on Asian delicacies in the private upstairs VIP area while guests networked in the lounge downstairs. Even though the party was private, word got out and it was standing room only for the rest of the night. Everyone had a ball!
You might read rumors on other blogs about T.I. snatching up Tiny and dragging her out into the parking lot where a shouting match ensued. But don’t believe any of it. Fighting in public is so not like them.

Beyonce got beef with Ciara?
Last night I got a call from a trusted and very credible insider who gave me the scoop on the story behind Ciara’s remix to Beyonce’s “Diva”.
Although I can’t give you the particulars of what my source said, I can tell you that Ciara recorded the “Diva” remix on Friday night and released it online on Saturday ahead of (and to build anticipation for) her new single due out on Jan. 5.
My source said Ciara’s remix was in response to a subliminal diss by Beyonce in Bey’s song “Diva”.
My source told me that Ciara actually started the beef months ago by continuously talking trash behind Beyonce’s back to others within that tight inner circle that you and I aren’t privy to.
Word got back to Bey who handled it in her own non-aggressive way by simply ignoring Ciara.
If you read my Ciara Diaries, then you recall I told you that, according to insiders, Ciara had gone Hollywood on them and was “out of control.” CiCi even went as far as to say she was a much bigger star than Beyonce — and even Rihanna.
On September 30, Ciara released a track titled “Go Girl” that was supposed to be the first single off her now shelved album Fantasy Ride.
On the track Ciara sings,
- Call me ‘Cici’, let’s go, and I know that you see me,
Can’t be just like me, (and you) can’t make that happen,
‘Cause I am the original and YOU ain’t got that swagga
Welp, Bey responded with a diss of her own, putting CiCi firmly back in her lane:
- How you gon’ be talkin shit?
You act like I just got up in it,
Been the number one diva in this game for a minute
On her remix to “Diva”, Ciara brashly responds:
- Lot of people talking ish, I don’t really give an ish,
I ain’t going nowhere,
This diva here for a minute
What do you think? Are words between two non-talented, non-singing women even worthy of being called beef at all?
15-year-old girl charged with murdering two men
Sharell Butler, left, is charged with the deaths of John Hopkins Drago (center) and Christopher Umpierrie
15-year-old Sharell Butler, described as a “baby faced” killer by the NY Daily News, is behind bars charged with the murders of two men.
The lanky, slightly built Butler was arrested Saturday and charged with the stabbing death of 22-year-old John Hopkins Drago, whose mutilated body was found stuffed in a garbage bag next to a dumpster in an alley behind a Bronx building on Dec. 21.
He was stabbed 40-50 times in the head, upper torso and arms according to the medical examiner’s office.
The Russian-born Drago had a history of arrests for minor drug offenses and he was estranged from his adopted family which is why he was not reported missing.
An anonymous police source said Drago may have been silenced before he could snitch to police about another murder Butler may have helped carry out.
Police say Butler and Robert Pastore, 19, also in custody, planned a home invasion to rob Christopher Umpierrie, 24, of cash and weed.
But the home invasion went awry and Umpierrie was shot to death. Police say Butler was carrying a loaded handgun on her when she was arrested Saturday.
In addition to a murder charge, Pastore is charged with statutory rape for having sexual relations with Butler who is not old enough to legally consent.
Butler, who is known on the streets as “Lady Red”, was led into a Bronx courtroom Saturday wearing a bandage on her right hand and a blank expression on her face.
Butler pleaded not guilty to all charges. Her family members sat somberly in their seats as the judge ordered Butler held without bail.
Butler’s lawyer said, “She’s just a 15-year-old girl and she’s scared. She just wants to be with her mother right now.”
After the hearing, her mother lashed out at the news media outside the courtroom. Photographers braced themselves against her displaced anger and frustration which was probably all too familiar to her daughter.
Butler is charged with murder, manslaughter and assault in connection with the death of Drago, and second-degree murder in the shooting death of Umpierrie.
“She’s one piece of a work,” said a police source of the troubled teenager.
