Movie Mogul Introduces Boy Toy To Obama
Last night, the president of the United States held his first state dinner at the White House. The well-heeled invited guests included a Prime minister, a Nobel prize laureate, millionaire industrialists and entrepreneurs, Katie Couric of CBS News, Robin Roberts of ABC News, actors Alfre Woodard and Blair Underwood, and this odd pair – billionaire movie mogul David Geffen and his 26-year-old boyfriend Jeremy Lingvall.
That’s Jeremy talking to Obama and that’s David Geffen, 2nd from left, in the above picture taken at the dinner last night.
The seating arrangement was designed so as not to bruise some of the biggest egos in the world. So the First Lady had her own table where she broke bread with her distinguished guests and Barack Obama’s special guests were seated at his table. I’m assuming there were other tables in the room as well.
Guess which table Geffen and his boy toy sat at?
Now I wouldn’t be mentioning any of this if the boy, Jeremy, hadn’t dashed home after the dinner to post pics from the dinner on his Facebook page along with little musings about the dinner and Obama in general.
According to Gawker.com, Jeremy and Geffen have been linked since last September when they met at an Obama fundraiser. Did I mention that Geffen is 66?
Anyway, once Gawker.com posted the pics from the kid’s Facebook, the privacy settings on the account were abruptly changed. You’d think that Jeremy would have made his page private before posting the pics — unless he wanted the world to see them?
Call me a prude or whatever, but a 66-year-old man bringing his 26-year-old sex object (what else is he?) to dine at the president’s table in the White House just seems a bit irregular to me.
But I guess no one raised an eyebrow since Geffen is a billionaire who contributed generously to Obama’s campaign?

This is why black people can’t get ahead…
So I was browsing my favorite blogs and I saw this item about socialite Teyana Taylor falling out with the chick behind the makeup product “Dope Lips.” Apparently, Teyana was perpetrating like this was “her” line of lip products as if we don’t know that some of us always lie about owning anything.
Well, according to TaSH, who follows the broad on Twitter, Teyana and Monica fell out:
DoPeLips is NO MORE… Teyana & Monica had a falling out
@DOPELIPS IS NOW @NOMOREDRAMAPLZ BECAUSE THE OWNERS OF DOPELIPS HAD A FALLING OUT. IF YOU WANT @DOPELIPS TO COME BACK THEN TALK TO @VIICIIOUSVIIXEN & @TEYANATAYLOR GET THEM TO MAKE UP AND B FRIENDS AGAIN BUT I DOUBT U CAN. I WISH @TEYANATAYLOR & @VIICIIOUSVIIXEN WOULD WORK IT OUT BUT I DONT SEE IT HAPPENING. MAYBE U GUYS CAN CONVINCE THEM. :’-(
Can you believe this? What kind of business arrangement did these two have going? Did they draw up the contracts on toilet paper? And why would we care about convincing them to work it out? Are we shareholders in the company?
I don’t even have to guess that Monica is black. This sounds like some ghetto foolishness for real.
Sade Adu is Coming…
With mostly garbage Hip Hop inundating today’s radio airwaves, some of us have been able to survive the R&B drought by queuing up Sade on our iPODs and dreaming of how life used to be. Well, dream no more: Sade Adu is returning with a new album for the lover in you!
We don’t even care that the ravaging effects of Sade’s rough life at the hands of her abusive husband is etched all over her face — she’s still beautiful to us!
According to Sony, Sade’s long-awaited follow up to the almost decade old classic “Lover’s Rock” is in the can and ready to hit store shelves in February 2010.
I admit, I’m downloading the album if it leaks early, but I’m also buying two copies: one for the crib and one for the ride. Can’t wait!
Is Whiter Better?
Skin whitening products have been all the rage within certain cultures for decades. But now advertising for the products have gone more mainstream — and more brazen.
This ad touts whiter skin as more socially acceptable, and assures us that our lives will get better if we smear the junk on our face.
I feel sorry for black people who can’t embrace our African features and feel the need to lighten their God given complexion to appease morons who prefer LSLH chicks.
Some black chicks go the skin lightener route when our skin darkens from exposure to the sun. The remedy is to apply sunscreen lotion or creams with high sun protection factors like SPF 20 or SPF 30 to block the harmful UV rays that wreaks havoc on the melanin in our skin and causes the cells to multiply rapidly on the surface of our skin.
Yes, blacks need sunscreen protection more than whites. Do your research, people.
Celebs Out & About
Our girl Rihanna had a slight wardrobe malfunction when she took to the stage on the set of Good Morning America yesterday. Or maybe she meant to show her goodies to her fans?
We can’t wait for Rihanna to do something with that mop on her head. We sent a DM to her hair stylist Ursula on Twitter yesterday but we received no response.
Afterwards, RiRi attended her CD release party for ‘Rated R’ at the Supper Club in NYC before heading off to party at Club Juliete with her BFF/assistant Melissa…
…where she wore this striking red number with plunging neckline and embellished shoulders. Rihanna completed the look with Versace shades, sheer backseam hose and Christian Louboutin booties. HAWT!
Akon, Ludacris, Big Boi and Bu Distribute 2000 Turkeys
Local artists Ludacris, left, rapper Big Boi, center, and singer Akon and his brother Bu Thiam (not pictured), put their busy schedules on hold yesterday to help distribute 2000 turkeys along with hundreds of pounds of greens, sweet potatoes and fixings to the needy at South Cobb high school in Austell, GA (a suburb of Atlanta).
Mayoral frontrunner Kasim Reed, left, posing with Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, center, and Akon Thiam, is hoping for a record turnout of voters for the mayoral runoff election on Dec 1st. Atlanta’s entertainment community will benefit greatly if Kasim wins because he plans to rescind the controversial 2:30 a.m. nightclub curfew which will boost the local economy.
If Mary Norwood wins the runoff, she will become ATL’s first ever white female mayor and her election will end a 30-year run of black mayors in Atlanta.
Akon’s brother Bu Thiam, who recently celebrated his new gig as VP at Def Jam, called me personally last week to say he planned to take out ads on Sandrarose.com. I asked him if I could have his Lamborghini instead, but he politely declined my request. At least I tried.
