Hot Mess of the Month.

At the end of every month of I'm going to post this. Its just basically our fav celebrities, at their absolute worst. It's really just for fun and laughs. Enjoy.


Kelis. Who ruined a perfectly good pair of Alexander McQueens with this hideous outfit and her lions tail. Amber at Fashion Week. A dress from her old job.
And Ciara. Giving me big Bird couture. And Rihanna, who has just lost her damn mind.



Lady Gaga at the Grammys. Yall know i love her but what was this? Seriously. I had to rewind and laugh about 4 times.

Rihanna Knows...

I'll never hate on someone's hustle. Who has time for that. Therefor i will never hate on Robyn. I just can't find it in me to hate on her. I'm actually, quite intrigued with her. She's way smarter then anyone could imagine. What Rihanna knows, that most celebrity's for some reason don't, is the formula to being famouse. And staying there.

Rihanna is so impressive, because not only does she stay relevant, she is SUCCESSFUL. Her album hit 1 million in only 5 weeks. So you can call it a flop for the 1st weeks sales, but its actually her fastest selling album to date to hit 1 million. Which means it will probably be one of her most successful selling albums. Which means she has managed NOT to get dropped from her record label, and go on a world tour. More endorements will be thrown at her. More money in her pocket. And she doesn't possess not one single talented bone in her body. Mindblowing. This pretty girl, who is one of the most famous women in the world...with no talent..all because she knows.

Lets recap. Her 1st 3 albums were...OK. Not one of them went to #1. Good Girl Gone Bad actually did the best, and it only went to #2. The sales were fair. Her look was...alright? Jay-Z stood behind her, so she got some brownie points that. But i believe its safe to say nobody was really looking for old Riri. Then she revamped her look. Who knew a haircut, some black dye, and a new stylist could take Rir from this...

To this....

Now she has our attention. She releases some hot chart topping singles. Rereleases her Album. Starts dating Chris Brown. America loves her. Still has zero talent. But we can't get enough of her. She's on every blog. Performing on the VMA's. She's the new face of Gucci and Covergirl. C'mon Rihanna! She did it! On her way to the top! Then this happens...

The "Chris Brown thing". You know American loves a good scandal. All press is good press. No matter how unfortunate the situation. Right? She goes silent (not hiding, just silent) for 9 months. In and out of the studio. Seen with Kanye West. Seen with Jay Z. All the biggest names in the industry obviously by her side. Featured on Jay-Z's song. Featured in Kanye's video. Still has her name in our mouth. The nude pictures leak! She looses her cover on theUS Vogue! But still stays relevant, without saying 1 word. Then the infamouse 20/20 interview. Oh GOD! She's dumped Chris. She didn't hit him. He made her cringe at the sound of his voice! (i had to laugh-out-loud at that one) She's doing this for all the little girls around the world whos boyfriends beat them up like hers did! Right? Thats what America wants to here. So shes milks it. Lays it on thick! And finally comes back with Rated R. Probably her best album to date. Almost like an Autobiography. You still ignore the fact that she's tone deaf. She has the right producers and writers behind her. Her image is racier. She's taken on this "i don't give a fuck attitude". On the cover of GQ. Lands Vogue Italia. Gets paid $500,000 to perform for New Years Eve. Still boring as ever. But America cannot get enough of her!

So whos Rihanna gonna date now. She's always talking about having sex and what not. Who's she gonna be having sex with? Definitly not Chris. His career is pretty much over. Lost all his endoresements. Album FLOPPED. Concert's not selling well. She couldn't date him again. And loose all her endoresments? You know American doesn't play that. She has an image to uphold and an example to set for young women! She better not fuck up! Says America at least. So who can compare to Chris Brown? You can't move backwards..only forwards.

A nobody. Who she surely has turned into a somebody. Who has the same sex appeal as Chris Brown. With equal the money. You know those baseball players make the MOST money. Chris bout to be broke anyway. Matt Kemp. Again, America is obssessed. Everyone is goggling Matt Kemp. Their all over the place. Paparazzi is stalking. Blogs going crazy. E News is reporting. She's done it again. We can't get enough of Robyn Fenty. She truly knows the formula to remaing famous. Without a lick of talent. That takes brains. And a good ass PR team. I'm not mad at you Riri. Do your thing.

Now only if artist with talent (i.e Amerie, Latoya Luckette, Kelly Rowland) could get on this same train...

MUSIC: RIHANNA RATED R

Ok, so I'll be completely honest here. I'm not your biggest Rihanna fan. I liked a FEW of her singles on Good Girl Gone Bad. "Take a Bow" "Rehab" "Disturbia" "Live your life" and that song with Ne-yo she had. All were nice singles. Shes a singles artist. So i thought. But for the most part, i just think she's eye candy. Her fashion sense is sick and that face is beat to the Gods.

So of course i was kinda iffy about this album. When "Russian Roulette" came out i was like OK, this is cool. But not enough to make me want to spend my coins on the girl. Then i heard "Hard" and "Wait your turn" and was like OK i'm not feeling this at all.

So when the album leaked of course i downloaded it. Turns out, the album is fucking amazing. I mean i NEVER thought i would like an entire Rihanna album. But she's grown so much. The album is so mature. Songs like "Cold Case Love", "Stupid in love", and "Photographs" let you know exactly how shes feeling about that relationship situation she was in. And then her songs like "G4L", "Rude Boy", and "Rockstar 101" let you know that she's doing EXACTLY what the fuck she wants to do. This is Rihanna. This album is who she is! Not everyone is going to like it. She says whatever she wants on her interviews now. She curses like a sailor. I love it. I love when artist come into themselves and don't play the safe role. It lets you know their is some "depth" to them.

Chris Vs. Rihanna

I hate that this has to be my very 1st post on my blog, but it's something that has been bothering me for a very long time now. Partially b/c it's an on-going argument between me and all of my close friends on twitter.

And the argument is: Was Chris justified in beating Rihanna IF she hit him 1st? I personally, am amazed at that fact that NONE of my friends believe that CB isn't dead wrong. But of course, their argument is "A woman cannot put her hands on a man and expect not to get hit back" or "You never know how people react when being hit, there for you don't hit a man." and another was "She has a history of violence, therefor she had it coming". Whats even more shocking is that these come from women. Granted i agree with all of these statements, i simply cannot agree that if a woman hits a man she deserves what happened to Rihanna. I will NEVER agree! Nothing that went on in that car should have resulted in brutal beating that she had to endure. NOTHING. But they seem to believe "She provoked him" or "She hit him 1st" which waters down the fact that he beat the living shit out of her. And it wasn't only them. Other women who i have spoken to to seem to be in agreement with them.

Now let me be clear, i truthfully believe that if Rihanna did hit CB she was wrong. But that STILL does not result in beating her like he did. I could even understand if he just hit her once. That's still wrong, but it's understandable. But that is NOT what he did!"She hit him, so he hit her back." is NOT the case here! He did not just hit her once, like you women so called claimed he should have done if she hit him 1st. HE hit her MULTIPLE TIMES, put her in a headlock to the point she had trouble breathing AND BIT her!! The girl was screaming so loud that the neighbors heard her and called the police.

So of course after having this argument with a few black women, i had to do some research. In my mind, i just couldn't understand their logic or justification. I understood the point that they were trying to make, but it just amazed me that they believed it.

These are the one of the statistics i found:

African-American women experience significantly more domestic violence than White women in the age group of 20-24. Generally, Black women experience similar levels of intimate partner victimization in all other age categories as compared to White women, but experience slightly more domestic violence. (Estimates are provided from the National Crime Victimization Survey, which defines an intimate partner as a current or former spouse, girlfriend, or boyfriend. Violent acts include murder, rape, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault.) This came from the American Bar Association: Commission of Domestic Violence.

This saddens me. It saddens me on so many levels b/c these statics explain exactly why all my black female friends feel like CB was justified in what he did to Rihanna IF she hit him 1st. It saddens me that our black women believe that our black MEN have such bad tempers and have so little self-control when in a confrontation with a woman that it must result in him hitting her multiple times. Hell, hitting her ONCE! All b/c of their sharp tongues or even b/c of them striking us. They are saying to me that if you hit a me, i EXPECT to get hit back!And that I am justified in hitting you. A woman hitting a man WRONG. But a man hitting a woman is MORE WRONG! For some reason our black women must believe that their strength is equal to ours. Well its not. And THAT'S why it's MORE wrong. Men have more testosterone. Men have more muscle mass. Men are BUILT for fighting. Man was CREATED to protect women for a reason. You are NOT equal! But i guess a BLACK woman, would not understand that. I guess b/c a woman knows how vicious and savage and nasty they can be to a man, a man has no choice but to hit them. There is no other way to "put them in their place" other then beating them down in order to "Teach" them a lesson.

Now with all that being said, do i think CB is a monster for what he did? No i don't. I think he is young, and he made a very bad mistake that he regrets. I think he simply clicked our and went bat shit crazy. As someone who has clicked out and gone bat shit crazy a FEW times, i can definitely understand what happened. I think he's getting the appropriate help that one would need in his situation. The sentence that he got was suitable (IMO) and since he doesn't have a "history of violence" he got off rather lenient. I hope his career the best and i hope he moves past this situation. But that's not to say what he did wasn't horrible, and i won't water it down b/c he appears sorry and remorseful of the situation.

I pray that our women do better. I pray that they realize their worth to a man. I pray that our women realize their worth to each other. But I've also realized that as a man, i will never understand the dynamics of how women treat each other.
