Kanye West Finally Comes Clean
I hate to say I told you so, but Kanye West finally revealed what we already knew: that he has not one, but two ghost bloggers on his staff.
You may recall that Sandrarose.com was the first to expose Kanye’s blog deception with our tongue-in-cheek post about his “ghost blogger” Marcus Troy.
After denying he had a ghost blogger, Kanye finally came clean to NY mag over the weekend. He basically admitted to having his “staff” steal content from other blogs and email the content to him so he could at least pretend to have knowledge of what they were blogging about.
Prohiphop.com has the timeline of how Sandrarose.com broke the story beginning with Marcus Troy’s post, and Kanye’s response.
For those of you registered members who doubted your auntie, please leave your apologies in the comments.

A loyal reader sent me this “recent” pic of Kanye’s beard Amber Rose getting frisky with a finicky friend. I realize Amber is not a celebrity, so hold your emails please. The only reason I’m posting this pic is because I was told that Amber changed her stripper name from “Paris” to something similar sounding to Sandra Rose because she’s a huge fan of this blog. I don’t believe that for one minute though. Thanks to Z for the pic!
Comment of the Day
I had to post this comment left by loyal member flyqtnva. Yesterday she blessed out another member who had the audacity to trample on my freedom of speech rights. And she did it so eloquently! 
flyqtnva Says:
Why are people always attacking Sandra for not being a cool aid drinker. I supported Obama, but CLEARLY he has done an ABOUT FACE on SEVERAL ISSUES he said he would take care of. THE FED does own OBAMA…if he was A REAL LEADER he would end the FED ASAP. This is the cause of all our problems. Stop….if u are uneducated get educated….STOP being a CONSUMER (look up definition). Half the stuff OBAMA has signed NO ONE HAS READ!!!!!!!! NOT EVEN HIM!!????? GIVE ME A BREAK…… Sandra is entitled to her opinion. Guess what those of us not drinking the kool aid will be the ones to save you all at the END.
I need more members like flyqtnva, who are not Obamaholics. if you fit that requirement, please send an email to info @ sandrarose.com (remove the spaces) and put “I’m not an Obamaholic!” in the subject line.
Audio: Nivea Calls Into Ryan Cameron’s Show
Someone hit me up a minute ago and told me to tune into the Ryan Cameron Show on V-103 because Nivea was about to call in. I’m thinking Nivea? Who the hail is that? I couldn’t pick her out of a lineup if my life depended on it.
See, people just assume that I keep up with all these R&B birds, but if they don’t blow like Teena Marie, they don’t register on my radar.
Well, I tuned into Ryan’s show and I was clueless as to what they were talking about. Something about Lil Wayne and The Dream and a video.
Luckily my nephew Malcolm called me and I asked him what that was all about. he knows his auntie is clueless when it comes to these no talent R&B chicks today, so he broke it down for me.
Anyway, here’s the audio of Nivea explaining to Ryan why she sounded and acted like a trollop in the above video.
Lindsay Lohan’s Attorney is a Sista
How cool is it that wild child Lindsay Lohan’s attorney is a sista of apparent mixed parentage? Her name is Shawn Holley Chapman and she just got Lindsay off the hook for an old trumped up DUI charge. I LOVE to see sistas doing their own thing in the male dominated business world.
From Us magazine:
-
The warrant issued for Lindsay Lohan on Friday was recalled Monday in court.
In a quick hearing in L.A., Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, showed proof that Lohan had been complying with the terms of her probation stemming from a 2007 DUI arrest, her second, including attending alcohol classes. The actress, 22, was not present.
“Lindsay Lohan has been complying with aspects of the program,” Judge Marsha Nevel said, adding that there had been “no dirty [drug] tests.”
Lohan will enroll in a new alcohol and drug program; her attorney will provide proof by April 3.
The judge also asked that the court be notified of any future issues “so that things won’t go out of control.”
Outside of the courthouse, Holley told Us: “This is much ado about nothing. It was a misunderstanding and we have cleared it up.”
Holley added that the warrant was difficult for Lohan to deal with “while she knew she has been doing everything right.”

Tiny Opens Nail Salon
Has this ever happened to you: you hear something during a conversation, but you dismiss it without question because you thought the person was mistaken?
That’s what happened last week when I spoke with someone in Tameka “Tiny” Cottle’s camp who mentioned to me, almost in passing, that Tiny had her own salon. Now I know I wasn’t just hearing things:
T.I.’s fiancee Tameka ‘Tiny’ Cottle has opened her new nail salon in Stockbridge, according to Essence online. The former member of Xscape described the shop as a full-service nail salon combined with a full-service bar.
According to the report, Tiny’s Nail Bar will feature manicures, pedicures, massages, body wraps and spray tanning, as well as complimentary health drinks and juices.
“I’m very picky about my nails and hair, so I’m going to make sure that I do my best to deliver top-notch customer service,” Tiny tells Essence. LINK
I think the same source said Tiny’s BFF Kandi Burrus (or one of her fiance’s baby mama’s) also had a salon like Tiny’s. But don’t quote me on that. I have to learn to be a better listener.
New Couple Alert: Mya and Gucci Mane
If you live in the A then you know that rapper Gucci Mane got sprung this weekend — in more ways than one. Well, guess who was waiting for him with open arms when he got out of the slammer? Mya!
Can you believe it? I mean, first The Dream hooking up with Christina Milian, and now Mya and Gucci Mane may be boo’d up? I hear they were inseparable in the VIP at Studio 72 Saturday night in Atlanta. They say Mya and Gucci were so tight you couldn’t slide an American Express black card between the two of them.
Props to celebrity photographer Prince Williams of ATLPICS.net for always sending us the hawt images!
