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.’”
Rihanna Stumbling Drunk Again
Troubled singer Rihanna was spotted stumbling out of the Manor nightclub in West Hollywood last night. The Manor was the same nightclub where her ex-boyfriend was partying with friends after watching the Super Bowl. Once again Rihanna was ignored by Brown and his entourage. RiRi wore a black, leather Chanel cap, a sheer, black bodysuit and blue jeans.
The 23-year-old Bajan beauty drowned her sorrows with bottle after bottle of expensive bubbly, according to witnesses. Rihanna leaned hard on her fiercely protective assistant, Melisssa, as they exited the nightclub. Security had to practically drag the drunken singer through hordes of paparazzi to her car.
Do better, Rihanna!

In Case You Missed It: Super Bowl XLVI (Highlights)
Some are calling Super Bowl 46 the greatest in Super Bowl history. It was certainly the first Super Bowl in recent memory where the commercials didn’t upstage the game on the field. (This year’s commercials were too numerous and too boring to remember.)
Super Bowl 46 was the 2nd meeting of the NY Giants and the New England Patriots, and the 2nd time the Giants came out on top. It was also the first (and probably the last) super bowl for hapless wide receiver Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson whose off-the-field antics didn’t endear him to NE coach Tom Belichick.
It’s almost certain that Belichick will unload Ochocinco after spending $6 million on him in a trade with the Bengals. No team will sign Ochocinco which will give him more time to plan his fake wedding to reality TV star Evelyn Lozada this Summer. Ocho and Evelyn had better take note of the fallout from Kim Kardashian and Kris Humprhies’ fake made-for-TV wedding, which didn’t go over well with the fans.

Was Madonna’s SB 46 Halftime Performance the Greatest Ever?
That’s what everyone is saying this morning after the BY Giants upended the hapless New England Patriots to win Super Bowl XLVI 21-17. The 53-year-old pop icon rode into the arena on a chariot worthy of the gods. She launched into a performance of her hit single “Vogue” before performing her current single “Give Me All Your Lovin’” with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.
Madonna didn’t miss a step as the athletic superstar danced her heart out and threw in a couple of cartwheels onstage. But it was M.I.A.’s flip of a finger that caused most of the buzz from last night’s performance. Some are comparing M.I.A’s middle finger flip to Janet Jackson’s intentional disrobing in 2004′s Super Bowl.
That may be a bit of a stretch when you consider that M.I.A. flipped the bird so quickly that most of America missed it. Still, M.I.A.’s obscene gesture may have stolen the show from Madge. Watch the video after the break.
Did Gisele Bundchen Cause Tom Brady to Lose the Super Bowl?
That’s what many are saying this morning after the NY Giants edged out the odds on favorites New England Patriots to win Super Bowl XLVI 21-17 on Sunday. It was a hard fought battle between two Epic teams that came down to the wire in the final seconds with a Hail Mary heaved into the end zone by NE quarterback Tom Brady, who suffered one of the most humiliating defeats of his career.
But the humiliation began off the field for Brady last week when Tom’s egotistical supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen allegedly sent out a “Prayer chain” email to her friends and family begging them to pray for Brady to win the Super Bowl.
How embarrassing for Brady — and for Gisele, who actually believed that God had nothing better to do than fix the outcome of a football game.
Didn’t she learn anything from Tim Tebow’s blow out loss to these same New England Patriots just two weeks ago?
Gisele Bundchen is clearly a typical Narcissist who believes she is more worthy in the eyes of the Lord than any other NFL wife. If Brady had managed to eke out a win over the Giants, Gisele surely would have accepted some of the credit for the win.
Even after her husband’s humiliating loss, Gisele continued to embarrass him — and the Patriots wide receivers.
Yandy Explains Why There is No Love and Hip Hop Reunion
In Monday’s special episode of VH1′s reality series ‘Love and Hip Hop‘ titled “Reality Check,” Yandy Smith, aka Don King, confirms our suspicions that she was paid to “play a role” and stir up drama on the show.
Yandy sits down with the show’s messy producer Mona Scott Young to explain the conflict between herself and Jim Jones’ fiery fiancee, Chrissy Lampkin.
Apparently it was Chrissy’s idea to bring Yandy on the show originally. But tempers flared behind the scenes when Chrissy found out that Scott expanded Yandy’s “role” — giving Yandy more screen time than her.
“You were funny, you were charismatic, we wanted to see more of Yandy,” says Scott justifying why she expanded Yandy’s role.
Scott and Yandy illustrate the sneaky, shady back room dealings that go on between certain reality show cast members who kiss the producer’s ass to get more valuable screen time.
As a result, there will be no Love & Hip Hop Reunion show because Chrissy and Yandy hate each other too much to be in the same room together.
The following video clip includes a rant by Chrissy toward Yandy who must have forgotten whose coattail she rode in on.
“B*tch, you on MY show!” says an angry Chrissy.
