Celebs Out & About: Beyonce, Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, Evan Ross


A fan took these cell phone pics of burlesque singer Beyonce leaving her London hotel early this morning.


Pop singer Rihanna took to the stage to kick off her ‘Last Girl on Earth tour’ tour in Vancouver, BC on Sunday (July 4). Rihanna’s tour got off to a bad start with cancellations announced in major cities such as Atlanta due to poor ticket sales. The problem is not so much Rihanna’s lack of singing skills. It’s more so the ticket prices are just too high for today’s economy.

Prince: the internet’s completely over; refuses to use digital technology


The sometimes eccentric and intensely private rock star Prince came out of his shell recently to grant London’s Daily Mail newspaper an exclusive interview.

During the interview, Prince declared the internet “over” and “outdated,” and said he refuses to use any form of digital technology to download his upcoming album.

Prince expressed displeasure with the online music distribution giant iTunes: “The internet is completely over. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it.”

Prince also criticised the advent of gadgets and computers: “All these computers and digital gadgets are no good.

“They just fill your head with numbers and that cant be good for you.”

His new album is his 27th release and may be distributed via Warner Brothers in the US – but there will be no downloads available in the world. Read More…

Prince has been “over” and “outdated” for a minute now anyway. So who cares about his upcoming album? These celebrities need to get over themselves.




 

Tyler Responds To ‘Boondocks’ Episode… Kinda


Celebrity blogger ATLien sat down with Teh Ghey actor/playwright Tyler Perry at the Essence Music Festival this past weekend. And while she didn’t ask him any pressing questions (such as why he refuses to kick open that closet door), she did ask him about the controversial ‘Boondocks’ episode starring a hilarious gay caricature of him!

Just like the Spike Lee situation, I feel that “no response” is the best response. I’m just gonna leave it at that…

But I will tell you this… there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I’m suing The Boondocks. Those are all lies. I’m not suing anybody over that.

And I haven’t fired anyone because of that show either. I don’t know where all that came from. Read More…

I wish I would have been there while Tyler was being interviewed. I would have yelled “PAUSE!” every time he opened his mouth! PAUSE TYLER! :D

By the way, I had no clue that Regina King was the voice of both Huey and Riley on the Boondocks. She’s so multifaceted in addition to being sexy!




 

Medical Minute: NuvaRing and Strokes


A friend of mine was in her mid to late twenties when I met her back in the 90s. She was a gorgeous accountant who was vibrant, full of life and doted on her two small daughters whom she adored.

I was introduced to her by her husband who she thought I was creeping with because we were so tight. Today, she is 40 years old and lives in a nursing home where she is confined to a hospital bed. She can’t speak or move so she communicates with her eyes.

Muscle contractions of her upper and lower limbs render them totally useless to her. At age 40 she requires total care to even turn herself in bed.

She is one of many young women of child bearing age who have suffered a stroke caused by contraceptives.

FanMAIL: Remember Taylor Dior, the “wash & curl” baby?

Loyal reader Chavon Peele writes:

Hey Sandra!

I know its been a loooong time since I spoke with you. My daughter (now age 3) was posted on your site and it was said that she had weave, perm, and will grow up to be bald. Everyone thought I was a ghetto unfit mom and had plenty to say about what she would grow up to be. I guess it was too hard to believe that a black baby could have naturally pretty hair that didnt need chemicals and extensions to look like that. well I’m sending you pics I took of her this weekend, she got her hair WASHED, BLOW-DRIED, and FLATIRONED this weekend so that she could update her portfolio/compcard with a different look than her normally big curly hair. your reader’s jaws will drop when they see 2 years later her hair is STILL beautiful, chemical free, and healthy! Most of them pay a fortune each year for that :D

Since we last spoke, she has done work in film (Notorious), commercial, and print ads like Target, Children’s Place, Amway Global, Joe Fresh, and more.

Anyway, her latest photos of her new hairdo, as well as photos of her big curls are on her page. I also attached one to the email http://www.facebook.com/pages/Official-Taylor-Dior/119853194704085

Click to see what Taylor looks like today!

When Twitter Goes Horribly Wrong: Scumbeezy

Scumbeezy goes by the name of Scumbag when he’s not wishing death on Nicki Minaj’s fans. This guy is a nobody but one of my readers was sufficiently offended by his tweet to send it in for inclusion in one of my “Twitter Goes Wrong” posts.

Scumbeezy felt some kind of way about someone asking him to define his job duties. Instead, he responded like most uneducated fools on Twitter do when they have no intellect to fall back on: with insults.

I translated his answer into English for those of you who don’t understand ghetto speak:

No, but you and your cancer-ridden mother can be my personal d*ck sucker! Die

Scumbag stays off the unemployment lines by “assisting” rapper Nicki Minaj, which means he basically carries her bags through the airports. That’s his only claim to fame, and naturally, he thinks he’s the shyt.

This DL punk, who everyone thinks Nicki is doing, is probably wishing he could “do” Nicki’s manager, whose nutsack he hops on every chance he gets. Hopefully, Nicki doesn’t have any fans who lost their moms to cancer. Not that Nicki would care anyway.

But this is more evidence that celebrities and their scumbag employees should stay off of Twitter.

Loyal reader Ryan Daniels writes:

Hey Sandra:

I’m an avid reader of your blog and I know how you have a section called when Twitter Goes Wrong. Well I have something I’d like to submit to that section. This is a tweet from Nicki Minaj’s personal assistant, Scaff Beezy. I’m sending you a screenshot of it because I just thought it was morally repugnant.




 

Pregnant Alicia Keys Falls Flat On Her Rump Onstage

It’s a good thing pregnant singer Alicia Keys was lip syncing when she took a tumble onstage during Day 2 of the Essence festival in New Orleans. AK didn’t miss a note when she fell backwards and landed on her rear. Miss Keys, who is 8 months pregnant with producer Swizz Beak’s baby, jumped right back up and sat her butt down at the piano for the rest of the song.

Does she think she’s superwoman? Why doesn’t she take it easy until her baby is born? I feel sorry for that kid when he is born. His parents will probably see him on weekends and holidays only. Narcissists should never give birth.
