Behind The Scenes: Dondria On The Set of “Shawty Wus Up” Video

Remember back in the day when little Dondria made a video ordering her Stans to come after me because she didn’t like what I wrote about her? The kids were so rude and disruptive that I had to close my registration down. Well, for that reason alone I shouldn’t be making this post.
But the Lord moved my heart to forgive Dondria plus the fact that she must now suck up because she needs my exposure. Dondria later removed the video from her YouTube channel. But she has yet to apologize for throwing that tantrum.

So So Def’s R&B singer Dondria shot her music video for her second single “Shawty Wus Up” in Atlanta yesterday with rapper Diamond (another disrespectful young’un); singer/songwriter Johnta Austin and music mogul Devyne Stephens.
The low-budget video was directed by G.Visuals and the video’s concept is a spin-off of the classic New Edition video “If It Isn’t Love.” Dondria’s long-delayed debut album Dondria vs. Phatfffat hits stores August 3.

Is Bobbi Kristina Bleaching?

I already know the unfortunate answer to my own question. Some of you will make excuses (the angle of the sun, makeup, etcetera).
But the reality is that she’s bleaching. Studies have shown that skin bleaching can be detrimental to our health and can even led to skin disorders including skin cancer.
It really is a shame that Bobbi Kristina feels the media driven pressure to be light skinned with long hair. Any LSLH chick will tell you that life for them is not a bed of roses.

She was such a beautiful little brown skin baby.
Morning Wood: Who Knew Sammie Was THIS Sexxy?

Is too late in the afternoon for some Morning Wood? Yes, I know I spelled ‘Sexxy’ with two X’s. But Sammie looks so good in this video that I thought the double x was appropriate.

Sammie’s people sent over this cover for his upcoming project “It’s Just a Mixtape” to be released next Tuesday, June 22, 2010. The mixtape will feature all new songs and no remakes to give listeners timeless music from an underrated artist.
But the cover pales in comparison to the video promo for the project. The former child star is seen doing push ups, flexing his biceps and making the ladies feverish!
Peep the video after the break!
Celebs Out & About: Nelly, Kelly Rowland, Jay Z & Beyonce, Bun B, Rick Ross

Gawjus rapper Nelly hosted the Key Club industry party at the Gold Room this past Monday. Other celebs in the house included JD, rapper Talib Kweli (LOVE him!), producers Bryan Michael Cox and DJ Toomp, and others

Gawjus singer Kelly Rowland attended a private listening event for her self titled album at Hudson Hall in NYC yesterday. I hope this album finally puts her in the forefront of American music or she might have to go on back to London where she is worshipped.

Star power in the room included Star Jones, left, and Motown Records’ president Sylvia Rhone, right.
Celebs Out & About

Former singer turned DJ Solange Knowles and her man were spotted out & about somewhere this week. Solange is one of those women who should never go without makeup. I see she’s still wearing that awful afro wig. I had a contentious email exchange with a woman who was offended that I complimented Kelis’ short hair cut but I dissed Solange’s short bush. I argued that Kelis’ hair was neatly coiffed, while Solange’s short hair cut was a complete mess. Wearing our hair ‘natural’ does not mean keeping it unkempt or never running a comb through it. This is 2010. Why does she look like a cave woman in distress?

After pics of a bloated Whitney Houston hit the net last week, she has kept a low profile. The pics were actually taken last month. Her sudden weight gain may have been the result of powerful steroids to combat a respiratory or autoimmune problem (I’m speculating). Whitney seems to be losing some of that weight in these pics that were taken yesterday as Whitney was leaving her hotel for her Manchester concert in England.
Celebs Out & About: Rihanna and Her Mom in Barbados

Pop singer Rihanna drove her blue Range Rover to pick up her mother, Monica Fenty, at the airport in her native Barbados yesterday. I LOVE Rihanna’s new hairstyle much better than the blond extensions.

Does a Faked Miley Cyrus Photo Spell the End of Perez Hilton’s Career?
Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton caused a storm of controversy when he posted an under-the-skirt photo of singer Miley Cyrus, who may or may not have been wearing underwear.
After catching major heat from readers and sponsors alike, Perez issued a semi-apology. Still, ABC pulled ads from his popular blog Perezhilton.com, and law enforcement may be considering child porn charges against the blogger.
Now comes word that Perez might have faked the picture — which is even worse than if the photo were real. Who fakes photos of teenagers without panties on? And what does this mean for Perez’s career as a top celebrity blogger?
Joy Behar discussed the scandal with PopEater’s Rob Shuter on her show, where Shuter explained that the photo was indeed faked.
“He made that up?” Behar asked. “He made it up,” Shuter replied. They then talked about the implications it may have for Perez’s career. Read more…
