fanMAIL: Tempestt Bledsoe
When I posted pictures of former Cosby kid Tempestt Bledsoe’s uneven skin blotches earlier today, I noted that she looked as if she had bleaching. In less than 2 hours, I received a flurry of angry emails from readers upset that I said Tempestt was bleaching her skin.
How would I know that to be a fact? I have never examined Tempestt and I am not privy to her medical history. This is a blog and I was simply speculating on her skin condition based on the photos.
If Tempestt is not bleaching her skin, I humbly apologize. But please keep in mind that bloggers are just like you — we are human and we do make mistakes.

Hi Sandra,
I understand that one of the novelties of your blog is to sometimes throw out questionable information in an effort to get your readers more engaged, but I wanted to provide some accurate information about Tempestt Bledsoe because I do not like to see sistahs get unfairly criticized. Tempestt Bledsoe is a long sufferer of Vitiligo, a skin condition that I’m sure you are familiar with (since you have a healthcare background in nursing). The blotchy discolorations on her face are due to her disease. I’m sure you were sent full-length pictures of Tempestt and her husband, Darryl Bell (Ron Johnson from “A Different World”) on the red carpet for this TV Land awards ceremony, and noted that her arms are also severely discolored.
Again, I understand the entertainment and sometime shock value that you utilize for you blog, but to miscategorize this beautiful woman’s illness really bothers me. Please correct this for your readers. Thank you.
Have a blessed day,
Sharonda Hollis

Sandra,
I love your blog. I really do. But seriously, every black woman in Hollywood is not bleaching their skin! C’mon! Tempestt looks like she was the victim of too much powder and foundation. Her make-up artist clearly doesn’t like her or doesn’t know what she’s doing. The unevenness and the ashy look of her face is too much powder over her foundation, bad color choice of foundation and powder, no bronzer and no primer. I’m a bit of a make-up junkie! LOL This is often the case when stars look lighter than their natural complexion and lets not forget lighting!
I’m not saying that skin bleaching doesn’t happen but not every celebrity black woman is practicing. And it sounds awfully ignorant to always suggest so.
Keep up the great work!

New Couple Alert: Lil Wayne and his Stylist at Compound *Updated*
It was a madhouse in Atlanta this weekend when Lil Wayne’s ‘I Am Music II’ Tour featuring Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross rolled into the Philips Arena. The Louis Vuitton store at Lenox Mall was packed as ballers of every stripe bought out the men’s section. Even though the concert wasn’t sold out, the house was rocking with crazed Lil Wayne and Nicki fans.
After the concert, AG Entertainment threw a bash for Lil Wayne, who arrived with a new woman his stylist on his arm. I have no clue who this chick is, but she’s definitely much older than he is. She also looks like she’s led a very hard life filled with alcohol and street drugs.
Update:
The woman in the picture with Lil Wayne is his stylist, Marisa Flores. I know this because she’s having a fit on Twitter.com right now. Not so much because I misidentified her as Wayne’s new bust down, but because my readers are going in on her.
Marisa looks rather young in her Twitter profile. I’m still not convinced it’s her, even though she’s saying it is. To be fair, she might have been drunk (or high), and everyone knows that pouring a liter of Grey Goose in you will age you by 10 years in one night. So I humbly apologize to Marisa Flores, Lil Wayne’s stylist. They are not a couple — but it does look like they’ve been getting it in.
Even when Lil wayne showed mad love to a young Mexican fan, the older woman his stylist didn’t blink an eye. Although she did keep a very close watch on him.
My spies tell me that Weezy and his Cougar rarely left each other’s side in the VIP all night long. When they left Compound around 3 a.m. the couple were arm in arm and they seemed very much in love.
Oh, by the way, all of Lil Wayne’s baby moms (except Lauren London) attended the concert hoping to catch his eye. I’m told they were not happy that Weezy was giving all his attention to his new chick and not them. Toya, who is engaged to be married to MempHitz, didn’t seem to care. But they say that Sarah, the mother of his oldest son, 2-year-old Dwayne III, was tripping hard.
I’ll post more pics in the next post. You can also visit ATLpics.net for more pics!

Celebs Out & About: Khloé Kardashian, Lamar Odom, Ne-Yo, Bow Wow
Super couple Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom, both 26, dined out at Katsuya restaurant in Hollywood, CA last night after watching the series premiere of their new show, ‘Khloé & Lamar’ on E!
Singer/songwriter Ne-Yo, 31, was seen shopping in the beautiful South of France over the weekend. Yes, he’s wearing black socks with sandals. It must be a French thing.
Rapper Bow Wow, 24, performed during the Sydney Supafest Music Festival at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, Australia yesterday. Word is that Bow Wow signed a TV deal with director Ice Cube to develop a TV series based on the somewhat hit movie ‘Lottery Ticket.’ Good for Bow Wow. He’s successfully finding ways to stay relevant.

Celebs Out & About: Cosby Show Reunion
The cast of the 1980′s hit ‘The Cosby Show’ attended the TV LAND Awards 2011, held at the Jacob Javits Center North in NYC last night. It pains me and saddens me to say that Bill Cosby’s TV daughter, Tempestt Bledsoe (Vanessa), has fallen victim to the self-hate syndrome that seems to be a scourge in our community. Yes, Tempest is bleaching her skin.
The 37-year-old married ‘A Different World’ star Darryl Bell (Ron). Maybe she’s trying to be his complexion? Do better Tempestt!
Thankfully, Cosby TV daughter Keshia Knight Pulliam, 32, (who played Rudy), posing right with TV sister Sabrina LeBeauf (Saundra), is a beautiful Nubian sista who clearly takes prides in her African heritage. By the way, does Sabrina look hawt for 53, or what?

Khloe Kardashian learns why Lamar and his father don’t talk
It’s every future mom’s hope for her unborn baby to have at least one set of grandparents around to babysit the kid while she goes clubbing. That may or may not be the reason why Khloe Kardashian is so concerned about her hubby, LA Lakers star Lamar Odom, reconciling with his father.
During last night’s series premiere of ‘Khloe and Lamar,’ Khloe revealed the real reason Lamar and his father don’t speak.
Khloe comes from a tight-knit family, where everyone is involved and supportive. Even though she lost her dad, attorney Robert Kardashian, to cancer at an early age, she enjoys a tight relationship with her stepfather, former Olympic gold medal winner Bruce Jenner. So it’s hard for Khloe to understand why a man would be distant toward his own father.
But in a single phone call, Khloe learns that Lamar’s father, Joe, was only interested in trying to get some money out of him. Khloe saw that Joe was nowhere near the father that her dad and Bruce have been to her and her siblings.
Gucci Mane’s victim thought he was taking her out to breakfast
As most of you already know, troubled rapper Gucci Mane, real name Radric Davis, was arrested (again) last week — this time for pushing a woman out of a moving vehicle. He is charged with battery, but because he was on probation at the time of this latest incident, he is also charged with violating his probation.
This means that Davis, 31, will serve jail time — unless his well-paid attorneys can pull another rabbit out of their hats and spring him on some technicality.
According to 11 Alive, Radric’s accuser was unknown to him. The 36-year-old woman met Davis at S. Dekalb mall in Decatur on the morning of January 28th. After some small talk, he persuaded her to go with him to breakfast. The woman — who knew only that Davis was a musician — climbed into his white Hummer not realizing that Davis was referring to breakfast of the non-edible kind.
Once they passed the Waffle House, the woman became alarmed and asked Davis where he was taking her. Davis said he was taking her to a hotel and that he would gladly pay $150 for her services.
The woman refused the money and ordered him to take her back to the mall, saying “I can make my own money.”
According to the police report, Radric leaned over the woman and opened the passenger side door while the vehicle was still in motion. “Gucci Mane shoved (the woman) several times in the side and shoulder area attempting to get her out of his vehicle.” During the struggle, the vehicle left the road, and was still moving when Davis shoved the woman out onto the shoulder of the road before speeding off.
The woman was transported to Atlanta Medical Center where she complained of soreness and pain. According to Dekalb police spokeswoman, Mekka Parish, no warrant was taken out for Radric’s arrest until April 1st when the woman appeared before in Magistrate court to swear out a warrant.
DAvis was subsequently arrested on Friday, April 8, when he arrived for his appointment at the Georgia Department of Corrections Probation Office on Sylvan Road in Atlanta.
This post is more about the mentality of the thirsty women here in Atlanta. The fact that a grown woman would climb into a car with a total stranger, and risk her life for some breakfast, is indicative of the mindset of Atlanta women. All a man needs is a nice ride, a little gold or a watch with some fake bling on it, and he doesn’t even have to have a job.
