Love Was in the Air at the American Music Awards 2011
Love was in the air last night 2011 American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theater in LA. Lovebird couples such as singer John Legend and girlfriend Christine Teigen, (above), and Mary J Blige and her hubby/manager Kendu Isaacs (below) couldn’t keep their hands or lips off each other.
After performing “Mr. Wrong”, Mary paid tribute to rapper Heavy D, who passed away on November 8, of unknown causes.
“Rest in peace to my dear friend, my loved one, my brother, the loveable and great Heavy D,” Mary said. “I miss you so much, brother. God bless.”
Nicki Minaj Pulls Stunning Upset Over Jay Z and Kanye at AMAs
Cartoon rapper Nicki Minaj walked away with two trophies during last night’s 2011 American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theater in LA. Nicki pulled a stunning upset over Jay Z and Kanye West by winning Best Rap/Hip-Hop Album for Pink Friday, easily defeating the much-hyped album, Watch The Throne.
The 29-year-old rapper, wearing a shiny speaker suit, performed her hits “Turn Me On” and “Super Bass” backed up by DJ David Guetta.
The night’s other big winners included Taylor Swift (Artist of the Year); Beyoncé (Soul/R&B Female Artist), Bruno Mars (Pop/Rock Male Artist), Rihanna (Soul/R&B Album) and Jennifer Lopez (Latin Music Artist). Unfortunately, Rihanna’s abusive ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, didn’t win a thing as he had hoped.
Brown, who has over 5 million followers on the social networking site Twitter.com, deleted his entire timeline after a follower questioned him about Rihanna last Thursday.
The troubled singer tweeted “Don’t say s*** to anybody and everyone feels its cool to attack me. GROWN ADULTS!!!! That s*** happened three years ago.” He followed that up with other angry tweets, including a reference to last night’s American Music Awards, where the delusional singer had hoped to finally earn some respect.
“I wake up thinking of living my life….. YOU wake up thinking of me! NOW I REALLY CAN’T WAIT FOR THE AMA’s! U dont have to respect me now… but u will.”

American Music Awards 2011 – Inside, Performance & Portraits
Nicki Minaj performing
Troubled singer Chris Brown performed last night, but he lost the Soul/R&B Album trophy to his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Brown had hoped that the AMAs would redeem his fractured image and gain him the respect that he thinks he deserves. But that will never happen. Sales of Brown’s album F.A.M.E. has stalled at around 700,000 copies sold, and it doesn’t appear to be even close to going platinum. All of this leaves Brown very frustrated and in need of mood altering medications. The 22-year-old went on another one of his patented rampage on Twitter.com last Thursday that ended when he deleted his entire timeline and appears to have left Twitter for good.

Michelle Obama Booed at NASCAR
If you thought U.S. President Barack Obama was the most hated Democrat in the country, think again. The first lady Michelle Obama received a rude reception in Florida when she was booed at the final NASCAR race of the season at the Homestead-Miami Speedway yesterday.
Mrs. Obama shared the honor of calling the start of the race with Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden; and Sgt. Andrew Barry and his beautiful family on behalf of ‘Joining Forces’ – a group that helps military families. But the race car fans started booing before Mrs. Obama could even utter the traditional words, “Gentlemen, start your engines!”
Medical Minute: Body Image Disturbance (BID)
The last post I wrote on Body Image Disturbance (BID) profiled a 23-year-old woman who died of complications related to her sixth breast augmentation surgery.
Despite the increased media focus on botched butt enhancement injections, many women continue to put their lives at risk.
Miami Gardens police have arrested a man (pictured above) who posed as a fake doctor to conduct unauthorized plastic surgery procedures on a woman who required hospitalization afterwards.
Cops say 30-year-old Oneal Ron Harris injected a substance consisting of cement, “fix-a-flat,” mineral oil, and “super glue,” into his victim as a butt enhancement and then sealed the incision with “super glue.”
The injections resulted in what police called a “serious medical condition,” requiring the victim to be hospitalized.
Miami Gardens Police say Morris also performed a similar procedure on himself. Source
Body Image Disturbance (BID), or Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a mental illness that is on the rise in the black community. Celebrities such as Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian help to perpetuate the myth that bizarrely altering a woman’s body parts will bring them riches and fame.
Rather than improve a woman’s low perception of herself, the illegal butt injections often results in depression, serious illness or death.
Celebs Out & About: Monica Meet & Greet at Sam’s Club
Celebrity blogger Tami of Talkingwithtami.com got the chance to interview R&B Diva Monica at Sam’s Club on Clairmont Rd in Atlanta yesterday.
Monica was there to give back to those less fortunate by participating in a meet & greet during the store’s annual “A taste for you” event that is also held simultaneously at Sam’s Club stores nationwide. Customers were invited to meet Monica and to sample a variety of gourmet holiday foods.
Sam’s club also donated $1 million dollars to support child hunger programs through Feeding Americal, the nation’s leading domestic hunger relief charity. Atlanta Community Food Bank received $75,000 from Sam’s Club.
After signing autographs, Monica took pictures with Sam’s Club staff, including store Manager, Mike Jones, and her mom, Rev. Marilyn Best!
According to Tami, Monica became involved in the efforts to help raise awareness of child hunger after Mo discovered one of her sons sneaking food out of the house to feed a hungry classmate.
