Is this Lil Wayne’s baby mama, Nivea, on the left? I know that’s his other baby mama Lauren London on the right. But I didn’t realize Nivea was this thick? I’ve never met her so I Googled this pic of Nivea to compare.
While the features are similar, I can’t be sure. If it is Nivea it’s good to see that all of Wayne’s baby mamas get along for the sake of the kids at least. The two ladies were snapped at the Jay Z, Jeezy after party at Compound.
A number of people called and sent texts yesterday informing me that former Xscape singer Kandi Burruss actually spent the day working at her boutique for the first time in a long while since the Grand Opening. If you recall, an associate of Kandi’s was upset that Kandi spent more time promoting her own self interests than she did promoting the shop which was reportedly losing business and having to close early on week days. Of course Kandi denied everything in a subsequent interview with the AJC. But it tickles me that she felt the need to tweet the fact that she was in the shop. She is so transparent, I can see right through her. It’s sad that you have to publicly shame these celebs into thinking about others.
Celebs Out & About: La La Vazquez Ring Shopping in L.A.
Multimedia TV personality and entrepreneur La La Vazquez was spotted out & about in Beverly Hills yesterday with wedding planner, Mindy Weiss, left, and a friend. The ladies were “RING” shopping at XIV Karats in Beverly Hills. La La’s fiance and baby daddy is NBA star Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets.
As you know, Carmelo and La La have set their wedding date for July 10th. I have yet to receive my wedding invite, but there’s still time. Me and La La go way back.
I’ve never been married so I have a question: Does a man give his fiancee his credit card to go buy herself a ring? Or does the woman buy her own ring nowadays like La La appears to be doing, and like Kandi Burruss did?
In the old days it was the man who bought the ring and his fiancee never saw it until their wedding day. But I guess things have changed.
Allen Iverson Exposed
In a post titled ‘Hope Iverson’s Sick 4-Year-Old Likes Her Henny’, SportsbyBrooks.com reports that NBA star Allen Iverson, who is on leave from the Philadelphia 76ers reportedly to attend to his sick 4-year-old daughter Messiah, was partying the nights away in Charlotte over the weekend.
Iverson was at the CIAA in Charlotte hosting parties with Jermaine Dupri. If he can party with JD then he can go to work, right? Or maybe Iverson’s absence from the team was for a different reason other than the one he gave.
It’s good to know that Messiah is doing well enough for him to go party in Charlotte.

More Proof That Beyonce is a Compulsive Liar
Over the weekend, a wannabe rapper by the name of Joe Budden tweeted that Marques Houston used to smash Beyonce. Since I have no clue why Budden is even relevant (has he ever had a hit record out?), I ignored the story.
But loyal reader Kelly sent this old VIBE magazine clip that confirms the story (at least as far as Marques is concerned).
Didn’t Beyonce say Jay Z was her first boyfriend of something to that effect? This proves once again that Beyonce is a compulsive liar and just an all around dishonest woman.
Is Obama An Alcoholic?
It looks like U.S. president Barack Obama’s political troubles are causing him to hit the bottle excessively.
As you know, Mr. Obama is widely considered to be a narcissist, and narcissists tend to have addictive personalities. In Obama’s case, his addictions appear to be to cigarettes and alcohol, rather than drugs.
Obama, who smokes 8 packs per day, famously told the media last year that he had quit smoking. But that was just a lie. He also promised his wife, Michelle, that he would quit his nasty habit. But, unfortunately, even nicotine patches couldn’t help him stop smoking.
With Obama’s approval ratings dipping near 40%, and his $3 trillion health care bill on life support, it’s no wonder that Obama is drinking himself under the table as a form of self medicating to take his mind off his worries.
According to UK’s The Guardian, Obama recently had an annual physical. And while his doctor gave him a clean bill of health, it was noted that Obama is “still struggling to kick his smoking habit.”
But most interestingly, Obama’s doctor recommended “moderation of alcohol intake”.
That last note is important because if Obama was a casual drinker there would be no need for his doctor to advise him to drink “in moderation.” It means Obama is hitting that bottle hard, and the liquor (and smoking) are likely affecting his health.
While Obama’s doctors portray him as being healthy, we know there is no such thing as a healthy drunk or a healthy cigarette smoker. At some point, the excessive imbibing and the chronic smoking will take its toll on his liver and lungs.

Medical Minute: Emotionally Induced Urticaria (Hives)
I told you yesterday that I would write a Medical Minute post about the mystery skin rash that rapper Trina appeared to have in leaked pictures from her cell phone. Although I am not a doctor and I have no knowledge of Trina’s medical history, it does look like Trina has a chronic (long term) case of urticaria, also known as hives.
Hives is an outbreak of raised, itchy, sometimes reddened patches of skin and bumps that are frequently caused by allergic reactions to food, drugs, chemicals, cold, sunlight, etc. Foods that can cause allergic hives are shellfish, nuts, peanuts, eggs, wheat, and soy.
Hives can occur anywhere on the body but are usually seen on the extremities (arms and legs). Hives can also be caused by the friction from hot, restrictive clothing such as bra straps or tight elastic bands in panties.
Hives are not contagious and can not be passed from one person to another by contact. Therefore, hives is not a sexually transmitted disease.
Although hives are frequently caused by allergic reactions, it can also be brought on by a non-allergic reaction to emotional stress or distress. Emotionally induced hives is diagnosed whenever the hives lasts longer than 6 weeks and do not respond very well to treatment. This occurs because the underlying trigger is the patient’s own emotional and mental condition, and not by an allergy.
