Celebs Out & About
Sexy siren Taraji P. Henson turned heads at the Herve Leger By Max Azria Collection Launch Party at Live! in West Hollywood yesterday. I LOVE how she color coordinated the shoes and the clutch with her dress.
Image conscious rapper/actor Ludacris attended the 34th Annual One Show Awards Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC yesterday. Isn’t he handsome in his Armani suit? I wonder if he uses the same tailor as V-103′s Ryan Cameron? I ask because their suits are cut the same.
Rapper/actor philanthropist Ludacris and his former co-worker La La Vazquez attended “Cocktails with Jessica” at Taj in NYC yesterday. Luda (Chris Luva Luva) and La La worked together as jocks on Atlanta’s Hot 97.5 (now, Hot 107.9) back in the 90s.
L to R: Universal Music’s Shawn Costner, industry vet Michael Mauldin (Jermaine Dupri’s pops) and singer Usher attended “Cocktails with Jessica” at Taj in NYC last night. You might recognize Shawn Costner as one of the cheapskates who gypped a NY establishment out of $1,500. Jay Z ended up saving the day by tipping the waitress $500 out of his own pocket. That was very noble of Jigga.
L to R: Universal Music’s Shawn Costner, Ryan Howard (Philadelphia Phillies) and Atlantic Records rep Mike Kyser attended “Cocktails with Jessica” at Taj in NYC last night. Kyser is the other cheapskate who was with Jay Z and Shawn Costner when they stiffed that NY restaurant out of $1,500.
BET 106 & Park co-host Terrence J, left, and Chaka Zulu of Ebony Son mgt. (Ludacris manager), attended “Cocktails with Jessica” at Taj last night in NYC.
Legendary rap group De la Soul performed during MTV’s “The Lair” at the Metro Theater in London last night. You don’t understand how much love I have for this group. Their classic album Three Feet High & Rising is one of the essential CDs in my car’s emergency survival kit.
Hot 97 NY DJ and trend setter Funkmaster Flex attended the grand opening of Next Level at Prime in NYC last night. No one else worth mentioning was in attendance.

DC Parents Question Obama’s Decision to Kill Private School Voucher Program
In a PC move, Barack Obama has agreed to allow 1,700 students to remain in the DC private school voucher program until they graduate from high school. But no new students will be allowed to enroll, thus ending the program that provided funding for underprivileged children to attend private schools.
Apparently, what’s good for Obama’s children isn’t good for children whose families can’t afford private school education. Obama hopes to save a few bucks by ending the voucher program so he can fritter away more tax dollars on important government projects like updating Air Force One photos.
Another Campaign Promise Broken By Obama
Barack Obama’s long forgotten Hope & Change platform has collapsed under the weight of all his broken promises. During the campaign, Obama promised not to repeat George Bush’s military transgression in Afghanistan of “just airraiding villages and killing civilians” because he didn’t have enough troops there.
Well, now that the Obama administration is “just airraiding villages and killing civilians” in Afghanistan — you don’t hear a peep from the liberal media:
Villagers dug dirt graves Wednesday to bury what the international Red Cross said were dozens of Afghans – including women and children – killed in American bombing runs. A former Afghan government official said up to 120 people may have died.
If so, it would be the deadliest case of civilian casualties since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. “deeply, deeply” regretted the loss of innocent life, and the U.S. military dispatched a brigadier general to investigate the deaths in two villages in western Afghanistan’s Farah province. READ MORE…
The White House suddenly ‘finds’ the Air Force One photos
In yet another chapter in an ongoing series of comical blunders by the Obama administration, the White House today reversed its earlier decision not to release the $328,000 taxpayer-funded photos of Air Force One.
Earlier today, arrogant White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told the media he couldn’t find the photos in question.
Now the White House has decided to release “one photo” along with a pack of lies to support it. I already know that the photo will be bogus. But I’d like to see it anyway so I can have some material to write about for the next few days.
I was going to wait until they released the photo to make a post about it. But I see that Obama is up to his old tricks of dragging the suspense out until late in the day when everyone has sat down to dinner or gone out for the evening.
Why is Beyonce still in France?
Doesn’t she know her husband has rekindled his romance friendship with his former roommate, Larry Johnson, in her absence? I have no experience with heterosexualism, but wouldn’t the knowledge of your man partying with his former roommate while you’re away make you catch the first red eye flight home to confront the both of them?
By the way…
One of my readers emailed me to say Bey’s dad/manager Matthew Knowles gave strict orders to Bey’s bodyguard to stick close to her in case she falls since she has a tendency to walk into things and knock things over. Do you think her bodyguard is close enough to her?

Rihanna Out & About: This is MUCH better!
The paparazzi caught up with Rihanna shopping in NYC today. She looks 10 times better than she did in those other photos. Do you think maybe she reads sandrarose.com and saw that I disapproved of her Goth look?
Shopping for hawt bags and shoes always helps a woman forget her problems
…and watching her shop helps us to forget our troubles as well
I still don’t like that raccoon on top of her head. But at least it looks like the old Rihanna is beginning to shine through.

Does Jada Pinkett-Smith need a Miracle to save her?
Whatever Jada Pinkett-Smith is going through right now — be it life threatening illness or drugs — I hope she gets over it so she can regain her youth and beauty. Remember how hawt Jada used to be? Now she looks like a 60-year-old woman and she’s only 37.
Jada, her husband Will, and kids Trey, Jaden and Willow attended the The Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Annual National Tribute Dinner in Beverly Hills yesterday.
