FanMAIL: ‘Malik Is A Wonderful Friend’

Remember that photo I posted of Malik Yoba with his kids and a female friend? Well, I misidentified the woman in the photo. Actually, she’s a New York Socialite named Brie Bythewood who wrote in to clear the air on her relationship with Malik.

Brie lives a fabulous, wealthy lifestyle that the FAKE Housewives of Atlanta can only dream about. In addition to having money, Brie also possesses that certain style and grace that the Fake Housewives simply do not have. That’s why the show is losing viewers every week.

But this post is not about those losers. This is about a biracial Socialite who mingles easily with the old money elite of New York’s upper crust society. Brie never looks out of place. She is as at home on the Bridgehampton Polo fields as she is on the streets of Manhattan. Nevertheless, you will never see Brie cast in the NY Housewives because Bravo doesn’t want you to know that black women with long money like hers exist.

Hello Sandra,

Before I receive anymore comical emails about your post, I thought I’d set your record straight and help you out a bit with the accuracy of your “Celebrity Seed.” It seems you’ve got your facts a tad twisted. I’m the girl in the picture with Malik Yoba at Polo in Bridgehampton. My name is Brie Bythewood (you can Google to assure you’re not attaching my name to the wrong person), and I’m a good friend of Malik’s as is my brother Dan Bythewood (also photographed). Malik is a wonderful friend to our family as we are to him and his children, whose names are Pria Yoba and Josiah Yoba.

I’m hoping you’ll make the appropriate corrections to your site, as we’d ALL appreciate it!

Just helping you out a bit with your celebrity dish… so it doesn’t turn into just another typical gossip site!

Kind Regards,
Brie Bythewood

Why Arm Wrestling is no longer televised

Back in the day, when I was a kid, we used to watch arm wrestling on ABC’s Wide World Of Sports. Arm wrestling was considered a very popular spectator sport, and championships were handed out like they do in wrestling and boxing. Well, one day the powers that be at ABC decided arm wrestling was more of a spectacle than sport, so they took it off the air for good. Watch the video to see (and hear) why.

Is Rihanna Trying To Make Us Jealous?

A tipsy Rihanna busses DJ Suss and Ceo Bar at the Pink Elephant nightclub in NYC over the weekend. Does this mean she likes the dark skinned brothas again?

Even Though We Don’t Love Her…

Ciara recently voiced her opinion on colon cleansing regimens: “I attempted to do this cayenne pepper thing one time, [but] I could not get past the idea of drinking what that stuff looked like,” Ciara said in a recent interview with OK! magazine.

Normally I wouldn’t waste my time with a Ciara post (unless it’s for the purposes of clowning her), but I like the fact that she downplays these cleansing scams such as Master cleansers, Cayenne Pepper cleansers, and the once popular colon irrigations.

These are scams because colon cleansers are totally unnecessary (unless you’re being prepped for surgery) and colon cleansers can be dangerous to your health. Most colon cleansing scammers hook you with certain key words to get your money, like “detoxification” and “removing harmful toxins” when in reality the body does a great job of removing harmful toxins on its own — for free.

So-called colon cleansing regimens can lead to all sorts of medical problems like dehydration, perforation of the colon and serious infections. But some blacks will believe anything and are easily conned out of their hard earned money.

Which is why I’m glad that Ciara is speaking out against these scams. Instead of looking for the easy cure (and causing harm to yourself in the process) CiCi suggests eating right and exercising regularly.

“It’s all about what you eat,” she says. “I change my eating schedule by getting rid of bad carbs and replacing them with complex carbs, like brown rice and wheat toast, wheat pasta noodles. I’ll come down on my sauces. I make sure it’s more protein-driven. Like grilled chicken, steak and fish. I also like to do greens to get fiber — broccoli, string beans, salad and lettuce, to help cleanse your body. My diet basically consists of protein, greens, and complex carbs. I focus on trying to eat more clean. I do five or six meals when I’m eating healthy. And I drink tons of water.”

Pretty solid advice from the one time Superstar. By the way, if you are experiencing gastrointestinal problems (excess gas, bloating), it’s best to avoid wheat products entirely and try whole grain bread instead.
