Celebs Out & About
So I spoke on the phone with Amber Rose’s brother/manager Antonio Hewlett yesterday. After we got off the phone, we continued our little chat online and DM’d each other for about an hour. He’s a cool guy. Very smart and knowledgeable about the business and a great asset to his sister, who would definitely be floundering without him.
We talked about why Amber Rose suddenly deleted her verified Twitter page. And while I won’t go into the specifics of what he said, here’s my take on the whole social networking thing: Twitter is killing the game for celebrities — and not in a good way. Celebrities who are natural born narcissists LOVE social networking sites like Twitter because it gives them a public forum for their fans to laud over them, worship them and make them feel superior by rejecting those they feel aren’t worthy of a tweet. The problem comes in when celebrities make themselves too accessible to the public. There has to be a barrier of mystique placed between the celebrity and the regular public or that celebrity becomes just another regular Joe with nothing much to celebrate. I think Amber understood that concept - and because she’s obviously not a narcissist, she was able to walk away from her Twitter account and her 50,000+ followers. Kudos to her.
Gorgeous actress Gabby Sidibe stepped out last night wearing one of her fabulous lacefront wigs and her favorite plaid jacket over a flirty lace top and jeans. You can’t hate on a big woman with confidence even if you tried.
R&B singer Bobby Brown (”Every Little Step I Take”) was spotted out & about in LA last night with an arm full of shopping bags. Bobby and his wife were shopping at Zaras. Is he trying to bring Fila back?
Pop singer Lady GaGa made an appearance at a Best Buy in Los Angeles to sign copies of her sophomore CD ‘The Fame Monster’ which dropped last week. GaGa’s CD isn’t even in the Top 20 on the charts, selling only 8,600+ copies in its 2nd week out. This is obviously a sign that the Lady’s meteoric Fame is due more to blog-fueled hype than actual talent. The one thing you can never accuse GaGa of is lacking originality or imitating an idol such as Madonna.

LOL. It is too early in the morning for that.
Bobby looks like he lost weight.
I have faith in Gabby. If she hasn’t already started, I’m sure she will start working out soon and slim down just a bit. (you know for health reason). Good for Amber. I have never liked twitter, myspace, facebook none of it.
Sandra why you being nice all of a sudden to Amber Rose? Is it because you spoke to her brother/Manager? SMH..Choose a side please
Is Sandra poking fun at Gabby?
Well people say Gaga ripped off Roisin Murphy and Grace Jones style but since I’ve never heard of either :shurgs:
Amber’s a pretty girl…
Gabby, is going places
Bobby
NICE DRESS
PRECIOUS NEEDS TO GET A STYLIST ASAP!
NOT KNOWING ANY BETTER ISN’T A JUSTIFIABLE EXCUSE FOR WALKING AROUND LIKE THAT-AT LEAST LOOK IN A MIRROR OR ASK SOMEONE ELSE’S OPINION BEFORE WALKING OUT OF THE HOUSE LIKE THAT
AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SIZE, THE CLOTHES SHOULD COMPLIMENT HER-THOSE CLOTHES ARE WEARING HER AND IT SHOULD BE THE OPPOSITE

LMAO Scared the mess outta me.
Love the outfit in the 2nd pic. No comment for the rest of them
And you say all of this to say that you are NOW Amber Rose pudding eating friend after numerous negative posts about her. GTFOH! Sandra are you bi-ploar?….
That’s a nice look for Amber…love the outfit
Gabby - I have love for you girl…but Gosh durn it!! Stop! I know she can do better thatn that. That whole ensemble looks a mess. Did she get dressed in the dark?
Okay maybe she isn’t into fashion. Do you ma.
LADY GAGA CD came out yesterday. The same day as RIHANNA and she is currently #1… tsk tsk.
Sandra Rose not dissing Amber Rose????? WTH is REALLY going on??? I didnt hear the news release that Hell froze over??
Im starting to believe purple is Gabby’s favorite color.. Go head girl!!!! GET IT!!!!

Lady Gaga… Damn she gotta whole lotta gums..

I said yesterday Amber has moved up in the world now that she has SR giving her props and post
2nd time I have seen her looking 1/2 classy! LOVE the shoes Amber! Keep up the classy vs trashy look well done
@LovelyLady
Well not only that but she has talent. She does and people (especially US) don’t give her a fair shake. When you strip the costumes off and the wacky stuff she can BLOW.
@ WindyCity
You talking about RiRi @ #1 spot?
GaGa looks like an overdose waiting to happen on that cover.
@ Daisy. I agree. Good to see her looking classy.
@Quitta
nope GaGa is #1
bobby sha-brown is on muffgin timeout for those filas….
amber rose is killing the LAND in that daggone outfit. shew! that lash lifting up is why i do individuals whenever possible….
precious…precious. i am not going there today…or any other day with her, about her, or for her.
i cannot–the end. i shan’t….the sequel.
@Windy I will be the 1st to admit that lady Gaga has a decent/nice voice BUT I HATE the antics #epicfail. I will also add that we have several BLACK r&b singers who can BLOW and dont get shine either so it goes both ways. Stefani was not getting any shine with her voice alone so she turned into Lady Gaga and now she selling like hotcakes
@Kwall DEAD
Her eyelash looks like it’s about to fall off.
Gabby should try shopping at Ashley Stewart or something. They have really nice clothes that are flattering to the fuller figured ladies. I think she has hella potential, she just needs to stop putting on clothes that “fit…but don’t fit”.
Actress Gabby Sidibe stepped out last night wearing one of her fabulous lacefront wigs and her favorite plaid jacket over a flirty lace top and jeans. You can’t hate on a big woman with confidence even if you tried.

in my afrikka (former member of this blog community) voice…
GET HELP sandra.
(i got tears in my eyes. and i cannot breathe cause i am holding back gales of laughter….)
sandra you are on all KINDS of punishment for this here caption auntie.
@Dasiy
I totally agree. But times have changed and what drives the music industry and sales now? Antics and a ‘persona’…raunchy more than ever.
I read Amerie interview and she said she is private and won’t do this and that and Im like “well you will continue to lose’ because thats what we are wired to pay attention to now
Stefani was a girl who went to school with Paris Hilton and started going to the gay clubs and they transformed her…lol
I’ve always liked Amber Rose. And for someone who’s done nothing, she knows how to work it.
I think a lot of celebs are starting to realize twitter burns out their fame faster.
@ Windy
Oh okay.
I saw her performance on the AMA’s and she can blow. I’m thinking about buying her (GaGa) cd instead of downloading it for free like i did C-error’s.
Good morning fam!!
And yes, AMBER ROSE IS GETTING it IN THAT FIT! That’s a bad girl there!
Poor Gabby! She looks tire there. This is her chance to blow up. They need an intervention stat!
LADY GAGA SMOKE…WE ALL SEE IT.
WIGGY…GET MY BABY GIRL READY! Tell her TT LoLo is coming to the A. lmao!
i am pissed cause sandra is trying REAL hard to engage us about gabby. but i am looking AWAY from the light. YES I AM
i had tried HARD the past few days about momma combs but she just kept posting and posting…
typos….she looks tired….and Lady Gaga Smokes. that is all.
Amber looks nice! No comment on Gabby.And I think Bobby is on this season of celebrity fit club, I see its worked out fine for him
DB again I say I hate that you and Lady are both coming to the A when I am going home to NC
Amber looks so much better with clothes on!
Poor Gabby - she look slike an elephant in those heels
Bobby - No comment
Gaga looks like Gwen in that pic. Ger teeth and hair are the same color
On second I really dont like Gabbys hair.If it is a wig, I wish she would retire it
Amber you are killing it with this fit and the shoes are fierce, Gabby never mind, i liked your movie though you can come out of your character now.hmmmmmmm
*second thought.
@Quitta
You should. Its like a dance party. LOL
Amber looks great!! Loving that fit!!
Gabby is a great actress!!
Still have love for Bobbaay!!!
Don’t get the hype for Lady GaGa!! But her dingy behind teeth are quite disturbing!! I am thinking her hair should not be THAT much lighter than her teeth
Gabby: Super talented. Awful style. Needs a stylist who knows how to dress a big girl. Queen Latifah has never been small and that Bish rags!!!!!! She is FIRE everytime she is on the red carpet. But even when dressing herself for a casual day, Gabby needs to learn how to dress her body type. I am a fuller woamn myself and I’ll be damned if I go out of the house looking ANYTHING but fabulous. There is NO excuse.
Also, as a frequent wig wearer myself, I’m gon’ need for her to take a wig brush to that mess. This whole look is UNACCEPTABLE. Sorry about the yelling but this Bish has made my pressure go up and quite frankly has made me very 
Im sorry! I looovvveee Gabby! She has confidence that some skinny women would KILL for! Although I dont agree with EVERYTHING she wears, thats HER style, not mine. And she never looks nasty! GO CLARICE PRECIOUS JONES!!!!
Daisy….I will be back like in april or may time frame.
And I finally joined Twitter just in time for people to bash everyone for the AMA’s. People are mean on Twitter.
@dalls214
hey! and yes Gabby has alot of confidence that alot of skinny chicks wish they had, but she still is tacky! lol
Amber’s dress is really cute and she looks real nice in it rather then her usual attire….
Amber has on the same dress as Kandi did in the intro of Atlanta Housewives too funny. I want Gabby to get a stylist and to just wear flats, those shoes leaning to the side is not attractive at all.
and the purpose for Gabby weairn the heels would be??????
Ya’ll know what…. Nevermind I refuse to say anything negative NO MATTER HOW HARD IT MAY BE!
SATAN I REBUKETH THEE *throws anointin oil at screen*
Amber looks cute
Gabby needs a little help, maybe the clothing line Torrid (line for our curvy girls) would be good start since their stuff is very sexy but fitting for her body and confidence.
Lady Gaga sure looks a whole lot like Madonna in that pic. She is here to stay and I think her CD is going to be flying off the shelves and itunes.
Amber looks hungry in this pic and lady gaga looks like.. well lady gaga as usual…
oh, and good morning everybody
DB WHAT is your twitter info? The SR fam was in full effect during the AMAs on twitter Sun night

ummmmm…what’s fabulous about Gabby’s lacefront?
I’m happy somebody clarified that Gaga’s cd just came out. So I guess Sandy’s numbers are from presales.
I don’t see why people have a problem with Amber. She’s not a threat to anyone’s favorite artist, she doesn’t do anything but look nice!
So Auntie are you going to stop throwing shade at Amber since you’ve talked to her brother?

————————————————-
I’ll join you in throwing some oil at this screen because I refuse to be the one to go in at Gabby or say a bad word I already gave her a pass…but Ms.Amber need to yank those hideous eyelashes off….. That is all
That first pic of Amber is scary as hell
WOW Ambi did Kanye buy that dress? I want one!
i dont like Amber Rose at all but she can dress!! i must give her an “A” for that. Gabby stylist needs to be SHOT
i love gabby and her sense of style but they need to find cooler clothes for her to wear she is a woman with “curves” ya know! Bobby Brown looks “GOOD” Whitney needed to leave him long time they both look like normal ppl now and last Lady Gaga… sipping 
no comment..lol
Divine, I sure will. We are actually leaving Friday for Valdosta (season passes for Wild Adventure)Don’t play with me girl, she will be four next month and I can count on one hand the times she’s been away from me. She is a homebody, anyone asks her to go anywhere she says No thank you I stay home with momma.Needless to say she’s partner. She’s already seen everyone on here says you are pretty but her favorite gravatar is Daisys cuz she loves RhiRhi.
To all the twitter peeps how do stay on? Computer, phone, what. I tried it once just seemed boring but and yall don’t laugh at me I am so old school about phones. I have a landline house phone and I only have a prepaid phone that I rarely use. I just don’t get down on the phone like that. I have never texted in my life.
I like Amber and even thought the dress compliments her ferosh figure I don’t like it. Looks like an undergarment with a belt.
Kwall I admire you I have never had the nerve to put on fake lashes. I would much rather wear them to events than mascara which I hate.
I don’t think Gabby should wear flats she needs the heel but that shoe is too dainty for her. She should get a good solid platform or wedge shoe. The jeans are ok not the best fit, and a more structured shirt would have been nice. I agree with who said the clothes are wearing her.
Gaga does look just like Madonna in that picture, I wouldn’t say she’s imitating her. How can you be female artist in the dance genre and not have been inspired by Madonna ?
Damn I wrote a novel
Who is Bobby Brown’s wife? I thought the divorce was final? Did he get remarried?
Amber looks
!! I LOVE that dress. I think that is just a bad shot of Gabby… she wasn’t ready! GaGa is crazy but a really talented artist. Bye Bobby 
I never liked bustier type dresses; just seems a little tacky to me.

*********************************************
I totally agree! She had on the ugliest purple dress on Oprah’s show Friday. OMG I wanted to just scream. She is a big girl and she needs to stay away from purple & red (IMO). She needs a stylist STAT!!!
BAD SHOT MY AZZ!!!!
YA’LL PUHLEEZE PRAY MY STREMF IN DA LORD CAUSE I REFUSE TO BE NEGATIVE!
YA’LL SEE HOW THE DEVIL ALMOST GOT ME! WHEW THAT WAS CLOSE
Amber Rose looks fab. As far Gabby it looks like she’s giving those shoes all they can take. Ummm wow I’m glad to see Bobby has lost weight. And Lady GaGa actually looks semi-normal for once.
Dont like GaGa or Rhianna to much to actually buy the CD so i cant really speak on it.
Album sales album sales guess GaGa fans will buy a CD while Rhianna fans are downloading for free!!!! LMAO
But what the hell is wrong with GaGa…..
As far as Precious Im happy if shes Happy
Amber I think she is pretty for the most part. Not sure why she is relevant but Hey I aint ahting get ma!
FILA is classic sportswear and that’s all I will say about this post, lol
@Sandra, are you sleeping with this chick. Blank stare.
Do your thing, Gabby! I ain’t mad at you. She told Oprah that she was tired of feeling bad about herself and decided to just love herself. Oprah was impressed with her confidence.
Bobby Brown looks good.
***I think Gabby fashions be on point, for her??? My issue is that hair. She clearly doesnt have a gay dude in her camp. lol lol.
***Like someone said earlier, Bobby does seems to be doing better without Whitney, and vice versa. You cant tell me she wasnt dabbling in drugs before she got with him
The Fame Monster only has a few new singles, it makes sense that most people would just buy the singles vs. purchasing an entirely new album. Who buys full albums these days??
I love Amber’s dress… minus that stankin’ tat.
@ Attorneymom, I saw the show and I was really glad she loves herself and accepts that she is a big girl…but someone needs to help her in finding clothes that compliments her body & shape. I’m a size 12/14 and I am VERY confident but I do wear things that compliment my body. Gabby is a beautiful sista and if she chooses not to lose weight that is her decision BUT she needs to get a stylist.
Amber is sooo regular to me, she just has a shaved head. Now Rih I can never get tired of..NEVER
Lady Gaga is super talented..love her!
Do you all remember when Jennifer Hudson first started being photographed after Dreamgirls? She had a ton of “misses” too, but since Andre` Leon Talley declared her to be his muse her misses were in high end clothing. Gabby just needs a bigger budget (I’m not mad at her spending her new money on just clothes!) and some professional alterations. She’ll come around by the Oscars *crosses fingers and closes eyes*
Gorgeous actress Gabby Sidibe
******************************
LMAO! Stop playin….
Anyway, I bet the reason she deleted her Twitter page is because she came across as ignorant. She has a filthy mouth and I used to love her (as yall are well aware) until I saw how trifling she was on Twitter. I don’t even use Twitter, but went over there just to see what SHE was about. I have not been crazy about her since. I’m glad she got rid of it.
@flsun99, I concur with you 100%. She is a size 28, not 8.
She also said that her favorite color is purple. I shall remand silent on that one.
@Daisy my twitter is @Divinebrown1976.
folks bug out hard on twitter. I have some christians on my FB so I can we wildin’. But, I can on twitter. lmao
that is correct divinebrown. cause i am your friend on FB and to be perfectly honest sometimes you are just crass and offensive. it REALLY bothers my Christian foundation.
thought it was time i just tell you.
your sister in Christ,
kwall

==============================
you know your bipolar ass is wrong for this post…she will still trash rihanna regardless of what you say..comming to think of it, you need to stop confusing her with rihanna…bwahhhhhhhhhhh!!
and lastly why the hell do you like these closeups….some are just scary..lmaooooooo…she looks cute in that dress though!!
Kwall you are stooopit!
Amber grom some hair now. Okay?
“grow”
I love Gabby, I really do…but PLEASE, find flattering clothes. Big girls can’t shop everywhere, I know, but we still have great options. Please, Gabby, Please!!!!!
And maybe it’s just me…but wigs on a young person..
Are her shoes leaning????
@Sandra, can you remove the big face shot of “Miss Famous-For-No-Reason”. I am bedridden and using my blackberry. The photo is scarying the **** out of me each time I scroll pass it.
@attorneymom
That scared the crap outta me too! The pic was comin up slow for me so i thought it was a promotion for some new alien flick comin out
Gag Lady just looks dirty to me
Auntie…
When it comes to politics…AW HECKY NAW!!!
But for EVERYTHING ELSE….you make me pee my pants!!!
That Gabby comment…SO WRONG…SO RIGHT = PRICELESS!!!
Sandra said something NICE about Amber Rose…whoa!!! n e way, why don’t they hire a stylist for Gabby? geesh..
hey question: how do i get the emoticons link to work?
click the link below it will give you the codes for the smileys
for the record: the precious chick does not have on a lace front wig
I feel bad for her. She looks like its hard for her to breath.
@ 95
Aww, it does look like she is struggling. We need to pray.
Gabby scares me.
I want her to PASS GO and get a damn GASTRIC BYPASS, STAT!
Chick does not have the time to do this the old fashioned way, she needs medical intervention now IMO.
I don’t wanna read about this young girl in the news..y’all know exactly what I mean
amber rose is not ready for her close up. yikes! that gabby girl always looks greasy.
Give Gabby a break. She is happy with who she is, so just leave her alone…
In the second pic, Amber looks nice. I like her dress and shoes, but that first pic–too much of a closeup. I can see hair grease or sweat on her scalp towards the front, lol. I just realized Bobby is wearing Fila sweatpants too. Gabby is mostly covered, so I don’t have anything negative to say about her. I don’t have a problem with big women as long as they keep the part of their body that is the biggest–stomach, arms, etc–covered.
@mzloud your a jack azz and i don’t like people who make fun or scorn others because of their size! you live in the united states and shud no that 99.9% of our kids are being teased or mocked because from wide holes like you!!! look in the mirror before you and everyone else with made silly comments judge Gabby!! Women with curves are beautiful and she was not ready to take that pic!!
Why is Amber considered a “celebrity”? Love her outfit though. And Gabby happy or unhappy with herself is morbidly obese. It is what it is
