Celeb Style: Sean Garrett Bling

Photo by Freddyo Exclusively for Sandrarose.com

You know I’m always pointing out a rapper’s fake bling. Well that’s not the case with producer/songwriter turned artist Sean Garrett who interviewed with MTV for a segment that will air next week. Check out the BLING! That watch almost took my eye out when I saw it. Remember back in the day when Elvis Presley gave Cadillacs to his fans who admired them? The next time I see Sean I am going to really praise that watch and hope that he takes it off his wrist and gives it to me! That’s right, I’m shameless! Lol.

Celeb Style: If she likes it, I like it

Fantasia is in the red – and not in a bad way. I’m sure her man Young Dro and her daughter approves.

The LA Times has a nice Kobe Bryant pictorial honoring his first MVP ever in the NBA. Why did I think he had like 6 of those awards by now? Somebody was hating on Kobe over the years.

How to grow your blog audience

4

I found this site, Dream and Hustle, while perusing my Google Alerts looking for sites that link to me. The site is run by a dude named Ed Dunn. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed reading this dude’s blog. He is hee-larious!

In this post he explains how to use 100,000 urls (which he zipped and uploaded to his blog) to bring more traffic to your blog. He writes another post elaborating more on the subject here.

The advice is sound and if you take the effort to apply his principles your traffic will take off.

    Don’t say I haven’t given you anything. Here is a list of around 100,000 urls (4MB zipped, 10MB unzipped) that came out of a triangulation of Nicole B*tchie, Sandra Rose and Raw Dawg Buffalo web site. It has duplicates urls and some links that are nonsense but beggars can’t be choosy, right? I could have well made it more than 3 degrees and easily got millions of urls. To be honest, this list has a lot of the brothas and sistas out there blogging and I believe is bigger than any “Black blog directory” out there and if those directories want to talk ish, I can easily bring this list to millions in a couple of days to shut them up. Our web crawlers do several million urls a day. But enough of that bragging ish, let’s talk about why you got this list. First of all, you got this because of real blogging cats like Nicole B*tchie, Sandra Rose and Raw Dawg Buffalo link out to a diversity of cats and ain’t treating their blogroll like some clique you find at the student center. And by the way, I just realize those three blogs are all ATL blogs, go figure. Second, the reason why I made this list available is to hope some of you bloggers out there can review it, check out other people blogging setup and start linking to each other and participating on their blogs also. You know, you may actually grow your blog audience and find new friends just hooking up with like-minded people and now you got a list to get started. READ MORE…

Dallas Austin Fires Rowdy Staff

According to Drewreports.com, producer Dallas Austin fired his entire staff at Rowdy Records last week. Supposedly, financial backers have abandoned Dallas and left him holding the bag, so to speak.

A family member who was unnamed in the story, was also let go. But according to industry insiders the fired family member turns out to be Juan Farmer aka Jebron F. Kennedy who runs the popular “Hollywood Hideout” soiree on Wednesday nights at Noir. So he should be fine financially – although Juan was a regular skinflint when it came to dropping cash on the little people like photographers.

I’m assuming that Sharliss Asbury is also gone. Some of you may remember she was L.A. Reid‘s personal assistant at LaFace Records back in the day.

Talk about this soundbite Sean Hannity and Karl Rove! Yea, sure it happened way back in ’92, but the biased media didn’t have a problem digging up old soundbites on Rev. Wright.

So let’s email this video link to all the national media outlets and challenge them to air this video – or am I late on this?

Video: 50 Cent Wuz Robbed!

I love it when these clueless rappers get their fake bling snatched. 50 Cent was performing in Angola over the weekend when a brazen fan jumped onstage and ripped Fiddy’s cubic zirconias right off his neck. At first Fiddy stood there shell shocked in disbelief as his hired goons took off in pursuit of the stolen zirconias, lol! Let this be a lesson learned to all rappers: Don’t go into third world countries with what looks like 5 years’ pay around your necks!

Fan Mail: ‘Usher is SUPER over Chilli’

Mrs. Tameka Foster-Raymond is one lucky woman. She has an army of fiercely loyal friends ready to jump to her defense and put people in their place when the situation calls for it. Their loyalty to Tameka is admirable, and one can only imagine how well Tameka repays their loyalty.

Even though we may think Tameka is rude and obnoxious – the actions of her friends prove otherwise. I think we all have that one friend who rubs others the wrong way, but who is dear to our hearts – and we would defend in an instant.

So go easy on Tameka and put yourself in her shoes. It can’t be easy being the most hated just because you’re married to a sex symbol.

Yes Sandra.. Tameka has MUCH support and love. You have her all wrong about being ANYBODY’S “jump-off” as you state. Usher loves her and they are happy. Chilli is the Jump-off that cheated on Dallas with him and was the fantasy that he NEVER loved. He was young and is SUPER over her and has been since 03′. Be clear.

She’s miserable and confused. Usher’s happy and she’s relishing in the thought of what she lost. Bottom line he was 24 then and is clear now. Sorry haters.

Where Are They Now: O’Ryan Grandberry


2004


2008

Omarion and his brother O’Ryan Grandberry lunched together in L.A. yesterday. I remember when I covered a B2K concert for a magazine back in 2004. The little girls screamed themselves hoarse when O’Ryan came out on the stage. I felt bad for the little girls because even then I could see the Kool Aid in O’Ryan’s veins.

Sean “Pimp Daddy” Combs finally got that Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that he’s been angling for.

I’m not sure what the qualifications are for a Star but apparently anybody can get one as long as the check doesn’t bounce.

So my check is in the mail along with my application for my own Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. If my application for my own Star is approved I will invite all my readers to come share my accomplishment! 🙂
