Afternoon Delight: Manwe Sauls-Addison
Remember that sexy Morning Wood I posted on Monday featuring Lady Gaga’s man servant carrying her egg at the Grammys?
Well, his name is Manwe Sauls-Addison and he has a Twitter page.
Manwe is a model, choreographer and modern dancer who resides in the U.S. But he’s well-known over in Europe.
Follow him at @manwe4u.
It’s a shame that almost all of you assumed the man was gay. He didn’t seem gay to me. Normally, I would get a vibe from gay gays — even the undercover ones. But I got nothing from him.
Why do we insist on labeling black men as gay simply because they’re unavailable to us, or they’re sexy beyond belief?

Aretha Franklin Discusses Her Diet Change, Returning To Performing
Grammy Award winning Soul legend Aretha Franklin is planning a triumphant return to the stage in May, according to Billboard.com.
The singer, who underwent gastric bypass surgery (according to inside sources) in early December, will play her first concert since the surgery on May 28 at the Seneca Niagara Casino in Buffalo, N.Y.
Though she’s feeling better than she has in years, Ms. Franklin, 68, steadfastly refuses to admit she had gastric bypass surgery done. She’s not alone; many celebrities have undergone the procedure and then lied about it, saying they lost the weight through diet and exercise.
It’s too bad that celebrities won’t use their high profile access to the public to talk about the health benefits of gastric bypass surgery. What it is about human nature that makes us deny self-improvement procedures as if these procedures are somehow taboo?
Since her surgery, Aretha has focused on her diet, which she changed drastically per doctor’s orders. She is noticeably slimmer but she won’t say how much weight she lost.
Instead, Ms. Franklin talks about maintaining the weight she’s at now. “I want to not only maintain the weight I am at now, but better it, by one dress size,” the Queen of Soul said Wednesday in a phone interview with The Associated Press.
Ms. Franklin cancelled concert plans last year prior to her surgery due to an undisclosed illness. But sources say Franklin was feeling fatigued and short of breath due to the heavy physical demands placed on her by her concert performances.
“Her doctor told her to lose the weight or she might die,” said my source who works for the singer’s record label.
Aretha is sticking to a strict low fat, low cholesterol, low salt diet, but she said it will be tough to avoid eating her post-high fat, high calorie snacks, such as chitterlings, pigs’ feet and ham hocks.
“They’re off my diet. They just really don’t fit with Whole Foods,” she said. “I had it for enough years that I don’t miss it. You can’t continue to eat things that are not good for you.”
“When you come off (a high-energy concert), a carrot or some celery just isn’t going to work. I’ve gotta do a fresh fruit thing … and come up with some tasty and satisfying recipes that are going to work for me after concerts.”
Remember When Columbus Short Was Sexy?
Actor Columbus Short, star of the films You Got Served and Stomp the Yard, was spotted leaving the Entertainment Basketball League game on Sunday (Feb. 13). The 28-year-old sported a beer belly and a receding hairline. Remember when he was so fine back when he was a dancer for Britney Spears? Short’s next movie role will be in the action comedy, The Wannabes, in which he plays a villain.

Did Lil Wayne Out Chris Brown?
Rapper Lil Wayne, 28, inadvertently outed his friend Chris Brown, 21, when he implied what many in the gay community have been thinking all along: that Brown is gay.
Knowing how quick the gay community is to claim a male celebrity as one of their own, I personally don’t believe Brown is gay.
Lil Wayne’s slip of the tongue occurred during a live Ustream session last night from the set of Brown’s futuristic new video for his single “Look at Me Now”, featuring Weezy and Busta Rhymes, who also collaborated on the track.
“It’s a crazy video right now we shooting. Chris got a billion people dancing. He got these crazy contacts in. I would’ve put them in too, but I’m straight.”
What do you think? Did Weezy slip up and call Chris Brown gay by referring to himself as “straight” – as in heterosexual?

Justin Bieber’s Abortion Statements Spark Outrage
Pop superstar Justin Bieber usually has a team of adults around him to remind him to stop talking in case he says the wrong thing (which is often, I hear).
But his handlers weren’t with him when Rolling Stone magazine contributing editor Vanessa Grigoriadis rode around Atlanta in Bieber’s Range Rover recently. Grigoriadis was in town to interview Bieber for a cover story, and the impish 16-year-old said exactly what was on his mind, whether it was politically correct or not.
On becoming an American citizen, the Canadian native who makes Atlanta his second home, said: “You guys are evil. Canada’s the best country in the world.”
Bieber also compared America’s healthcare system to the free healthcare in Canada:
“We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My [American] bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”
But it’s what Bieber said about abortion that has him in hot water with pro-abortion groups, particularly when he implied that rape “happens for a reason.”
“I really don’t believe in abortion,” the teen idol said. “It’s like killing a baby?” When asked if he was still adamantly pro-life in cases of rape, his stance didn’t really change. “Um. Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason,” he said. “I don’t know how that would be a reason. I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.”
This seemingly innocent opinion led to many headlines and jeers at Bieber’s expense, ridiculing him for implying something as traumatic as rape “happens for a reason.” But Grigoriadis, the interviewer, has a different opinion of what Bieber was trying to convey. “I think he meant that God has a plan,” she told PopEater. “Even for the most die-hard Christian, it’s hard to justify rape as part of God’s plan, and harder to justify rape that leads to pregnancy and abortion. I think he was wrestling with that in his answer, which I found to be solid and logical. I think it is being widely misunderstood. He did not say that rape was part of God’s plan.”
Celebs Out & About: Lady Gaga
Here’s a better picture of pop superstar Lady Gaga’s horns and monster claw. She was spotted entering the NY studio where ABC’s “Good Morning America” is taped. I’m convinced that something is wrong with her. The line between reality and fiction blurs easily for celebrities who already have mental issues before they hit the big time. Lady Gaga doesn’t hide her growing interest in the occult and satanism. The 24-year-old often infuses occult symbols into her fashions, songs and music videos. The sad part is she’s influencing an entire generation of youth — some of whom are already troubled and mentally disturbed.

Celebs Out & About: Lady Gaga, Ashanti, Djimon Hounsou
The world’s biggest pop star Lady Gaga, 24, forgot to wash the Grammy Awards makeup off her face. She was spotted wearing devil’s horns and horny cheekbones when she left a recording studio in NYC last night. Is she even concerned about the devil worshipping message she’s sending out to her young fans? Weird. The singer’s latest single “Born This Way” is her 3rd #1 single, breaking numerous digital sales and radio chart records. Gaga was criticized for the song’s similarity to Madonna’s “Express Yourself”. But as Gaga said, if Madonna doesn’t care then why should you?
Ashanti wore a stunning cobalt blue dress to the Marchesa Fall 2011 presentation in NYC yesterday where she’s attending the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week events.
Actor Djimon Hounson, 46, was spotted out & about earlier this week in Beverly Hills, CA. His wife, reality personality Kimora Lee, 35, was with him. Hounsou and his wife have a son together.
