Celebs Out And About: ‘Think Like A Man’ Premiere; NY Fashion Week
Terrence J and Selita Ebanks were among the well heeled black Hollywood glitterati on the red carpet at the Los Angeles Premiere of ‘Think Like A Man‘ held at the Arclight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, yesterday:
Rev. Run’s daughter Angela Simmons showed off her mean shoe game at the Diet Pepsi Style Studio fashion Show Presented By Simon Doonan during Fall 2012 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City yesterday. Sitting with her is Kim Kardashian’s pal Jonathan Cheban. I have no idea what that guy does for a living.

Celebs Out & About: Ciara, Viola Davis, Louis Bardo Bullock
Singer Ciara was spotted leaving the salon in West Hollywood yesterday. Ciara spruced up her long, flowing weave by adding a few highlights and a conditioner for her own hair that’s growing under the weave.
Speaking of hair weave, Oscar nominee Viola Davis wore a short cropped wig for her appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America yesterday. Viola received kudos for wearing her own natural hair for the cover of the LA Times magazine earlier this month. It’s a shame that in 2012 black women are applauded for wearing their own hair. We have been fully assimilated. 
Celebs Turn Out for Essence Black Women In Music

Unbeweavable! – Viola Davis Covers the LA Times
I almost didn’t recognize Oscar contender Viola Davis (‘The Help‘) without her head full of weave. The critically acclaimed actress posed natural for a beautiful cover of the LA Times Magazine. Her dress was designed by one of Michelle Obama’s favorite designers, Jason Wu.
I am hoping this signals the beginning of a trend for black woman to return to our beautiful roots again. It’s disenchanting to see so many beautiful black women walking around looking like Korean Barbie rejects, wearing the same, lame straight black hairstyle.
From Madamenoire.com:
VOGUE: On using real-life experience to draw on for her role in the The Help:
VIOLA DAVIS: “I have stories of being spit on. You have to realize I was in a predominantly white culture … And third grade was the worst because every day after school I would wait at the door and the bell would ring. And as soon as the bell rang I ran as fast as I could from the front door to my house, which was at least a mile away, because I would have eight to nine boys with sticks, bricks, anything they could find, who were ready to kill me.”
On what her mother told her about bullying:
“She said, ‘Viola, I want you to take my crochet and needle and you put it in your pocket and if they stop you again you tell them you’re gonna [stab] ‘em.’”
On how her life defined her career:
“Having it hard made me build so much character … You have to actually say, ‘Is the world going to define me or am I going to define myself.’”
PICS: Whitney Houston and Ray J Still Kicking It
Brandy’s brother, Ray J and his longtime friend, the legendary Whitney Houston, were seen together shopping at Sunset Plaza after having dinner together. Whitney chatted with the paps about possibly joining ‘The X-Factor’ cast and she said she liked the idea. Whitney and Ray J strolled to his Rolls Royce as the paparazzi flashed away. Ray J demonstrated his love for Whitney by making sure she was buckled up securely in the car. And she returned the gesture as Ray J headed around the car by unlocking the driver’s side door for him to enter.
This is how you express your love for your partner, kids. LOVE = RESPECT. If your man doesn’t hold the door open for you, especially if you cook his meals and wash his dirty drawls, you should launch him. You deserve better than that.
Some of you are probably scratching your heads wondering what’s going on. Well, it’s simple: sex gets better as we females get older. Men peak sexually in their teens and early twenties, while women peak sexually in our 40s. There was a time, millions of years ago, when the life expectancy for men was much shorter than for females (which is why Nature fixed our sexual peaks that way).
By the time some men reach their mid thirties, they undergo a form of menopause and their testosterone levels (and sex drive) begin to decline. This explains today’s proliferation of Cougars in the female population who seek out younger men (in their twenties) to satisfy their intense sexual cravings. As a result, Viagra is the #1 prescription medication among the aging male population (rapper Jay Z allegedly has his pharmacist on speed dial).
