Top 5 Best Dressed Women of Hollywood

5. Victoria Beckham.
I can always admire a mother who still gives it her all. Posh Spice never misses a beat. This woman is the epitome of a glamorous Hollywood woman. And she can pull off any look she feels, and do it without flaw. Her style is very classic and she always sticks to what she knows.



4. Keri Washington
Keri is seriously slept on. I've been saying this since I 1st saw her grace the red carpet. This girl can dress. She always keeps it simple, but always makes a statement. And nothing is simple about that.


3. Rihanna
Even though our favorite Bajan Princess's style has been on bed rest, it doesn't mean she can't be recognized. Rihanna may not always deliver a look I necessarily care for, but she is going to deliver A "LOOK". A "LOOK" that will set trends. No matter how ridiculous it may be. And for every time she looks like a mad woman, she will turn around the next day and look completely sickening. She's a true chameleon.


2. Kim Kardashian
Now unlike the other women mentioned above, Kim doesn't have a touring schedule or movie to shoot. Kim's job is to look flawless, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And she pulls it off, and does it effortlessly. And even when Kim is bumming (which i've only seen 1 time) she will throw on a Birkin bag just to let you know "Hey, I'm richer then you."


1. Oprah Winfrey
To execute a look day in and day out ALONE, deserves the number 1 spot. But to do it at any size, now THAT's phenomenal. Oprah pulls it off, every. single.day. From her smallest size, to her largest, Oprah will look AMAZING.I mean seriously, Designers make looks to cater to this woman, just because of her name. I'm bet her bed sheets are custom made. Now that's MONEY. (2.7 billions dollars to be exact.)

New Years Resolution.



Yesterday as I sat in my cubicle at work on Christmas Eve, I listened (only listen, never speak) to my co-worker's all talk about how Tyler Perry just couldn't be gay because he was a "Man of God". Then they followed that with if he was gay he was surely going to hell. Now mind you these 3 women, all have multiple children, have never been married and are currently living with some man who may or may not be their baby daddy. Before I could begin to rip my ears from my head in disgust, they changed the subject. Thank God. To you know what? How ugly Beyonce is. I clearly, can't win for loosing.

So right before i was about to add them to my "The Crazies" List i realized something. It hit me right there, harder then Ike hit Tina.

"Jonathan, you've taken 2 psychology classes. TWO! Your not a fucking psychologist. Just because you can't wrap your mind around how ridiculous some people's opinions may appear to be, doesn't mean their crazy."

Well ain't that some shit. I've always tried to over analyze everything and everyone. Why people think the way they do. Why people do the things they do. Why people make such careless decisions when the consequences are clear as Ricky Martin's sexual preference. Well, my New Year's Resolution is to STOP. Stop over thinking everything and trying to understand everyone. Because your not. Your not going to understand everything!

Your not going to understand why people lie about things they have no reason to lie about.

Your not going to understand why people are so sneaky and vile.

Your not going to understand the concept of jealousy.

Your not going to understand how someone could stay awake during a Keri Hilson performance.

Your not going to understand why some people who are average everyday common folk think....they're a celebrity.

Your not going to understand how bad someone's eyes have to be to make a comment like "Precious is beautiful." And then keep a straight face.

Your not going to understand why children cry for no reason in public places, and the parents act like they don't hear it, but look at you crazy when you give them a look like "BITCH! YOUR CHILD'S CRYING IS RUINING MY LIFE!"

Your not going to understand why the guy on the motorcycle yesterday drove behind you flashing his high beams off and on for 10 minutes before you slammed on the breaks and he flew off the road into City Park somewhere.

Your not going to understand why girls are STILL, two years after Single Ladies came out, wearing leotards to the club like its an outfit. (BTW, Beyonce called. She's mortified.)

Your not going to understand why Rihanna won't look in the mirror and realize that red clown hair is absolutely wretched. And it's even more wretched, on these girls who they try to mimic it.

Your not going to understand why Amerii is still trying.

Your not going to understand why people would think it's OK for Mike Vick to have a dog. Um, HELLO!

Your not going to understand how OJ Simpson killed Nicole, and got away with it, then wrote a book about how he got away with it, and STILL has gotten away with it.

I digress.

This list could go on for days. So I'm done. I'm done trying to make sense of everything. All I'm going to do is drive myself mad. And I've already got a few marbles missing, Lord knows i need the few i have left. I'm just going to take Tupac's advice.





A friend (who actually got her psychology degree) told me the other day

"Crazy people think everyone else is crazy."

And it makes a whole lot of sense. Got that Kanye?

Why Every Woman Should Be a Gold Digger.


It never fails, every Sunday night at 9 pm when Real Housewives of Atlanta comes on Kim becomes a trending topic. Shes a hoe. She's a home wrecker. She's a gold digger. She can't sing.

Guess what. Kim is RICH. She's the only bitch on that show who's car hasn't be repossessed or had to move out of her house to a "new" home. She's driving around in a Range Rover AND a BENTLEY. Do you know why? Because Kim knows what you young kittens are going to go crazy trying to figure out. Kim knows the formula. You stick with the rich, and you reap the benefits. You think Kim CARED that Big Poppa was married? Why would she? How about this question... Do you think Big Poppa's wife cared that he was fucking Kim? Of course not. Why do you think its been going on for 3 seasons. If Kim is driving around in a Bentley, what do you think his WIFE is driving? Go have a seat. Better yet, go take a ride in your corolla and ask yourself what your doing wrong in your life.

Am I a bad friend?

I've always said that when people tend to loose alot of friends, it HAS to be them. Now I'm wondering if that's really the case.

I went to an all boys school where brother hood was taught to be one of the strongest bonds. I never took that serious, because honestly, i've always thought niggas were shady creatures. Maybe thats my 1st problem. But i had friends. We had our group. And for the most part, even in our adult hood, we are all still friends (except for 1 who always proved to be a shady character from the beginning). Of course we don't hang out every weekend and party all night anymore, but at any given time we can pick up the phone and call each other. Therefor I've always considered myself a good friend to them. Especially seeing how I'm always the one that everyone picks up the phone and calls 1st for advice. And i listen. Even when its the same story. For the 12x. And still give the best advice i know how to give.

It wasn't until college happened that i began to question how loyal of a friend i was. I've lost many friends throughout that period. Now granted some of them were due to life style differences and moving, and things of that nature, but some of the friends were friends that i really considered to be my "BEST" friends as some point in my life. Maybe i use that word to loosely. But i did see us being friends forever.

Now 1 friend, the one who i was really close with, simply stopped talking to me once in a serious relationship. I'm sure there is some background to the reason that i still don't know about. The confusing part is that as long as we had been friends, we had a very open line of communication. If we had a problem with each other, or something the other did, we talked about it. There was never an issue that we couldn't talk about. So when this last issue, whatever it may have been arose, and we didn't talk about, they just cut me off, no reason given. It made me question myself. I reached out to them numerous times. I put my pride aside and called repeatedly. No response. No returned phone call, no returned text, nothing. What did i do? Or what did he think i did? Did i wrong this person in a way?

The 2nd friend, for lack of better words, was just a complete psycho-path. And we had been friends the longest. Life slowly turned him into a person nobody in their right mind would ever want to be around. He was a miserable soul, and I've always known it, but i dealt with it anyway because he was my friend. People would always ask "HOW are you friends with someone like that. He needs help!" But he was my friend. You accept them for the good and the bad. Right?

We eventually parted ways. I got sick of his misery, and he got sick of me challenging his ridiculous opinions. The strangest part is, when i see him out, nothing in me even remotely wants to be their friend again. I don't hate them, i just have absolutely no desire to be their friend again. When people ask about them, and i say we don't speak anymore, they don't even ask why, they just laugh because they already know he's a nut. I guess its strange because i always told myself you accept friends for who they are. I guess i couldn't accept him. It goes back to my blog about me being judgmental. So again, does that make me a bad friend?

I was told a long time ago by someone who i deem as very wise that the older you get the less friends you'll have. And it seems like that is coming true. I just never saw that for myself and my friends. I know this may be a little silly to some people but to me friendship is about as serious as a boyfriend/ girlfriend. It's a relationship. Just because you may not be physically intimate doesn't make it any less intimate. And just like you would want to be the best girlfriend, or boyfriend you could be, i want to be the most loyal friend i can be.

The 2010 Version of Racism.

I remember when I was 13 years old my parents would send me to a boarding school in Mississippi for the summer. School had about 400 students. Probably about 50 of them were black.

It was one day that we had taken a trip to the beach that I and this kid named Wolf got into a verbal argument. I remember him getting so mad it looked like he wanted to attack me. Of course, having his god given common sense, he didn’t, and opted for what he felt was the nastiest thing he could tell a black boy. “You Nigger!” He screamed. The 1st thing I said was “That’s the best you can do? That’s so old.” Immediately all the counselors surrounded us. They huddled around me as if to guard me from what had already been said. “I’m so sorry you had to hear that.” They all kept repeating. I remember thinking “What’s the big deal? It’s just a word. Words only have as much power as we give them.” I can’t exactly remember what happened to Wolf, but I never saw him again.

Christian Troy





I was sitting home watching Nip/Tuck the other day (one of my favorite shows in the world) and i can't exactly remember what Christian Troy was doing, but if your a fan of the show you know it was probably not something good. Now as someone who is normally a fan of the Villain in most shows or movies, i was always puzzled as to why i was never a fan of Christian Troy. And it came to me while watching that episode. Christian Troy is a really REALLY bad person. Worst then any Villain.


Like i explained in my previous blog, the appeal of a villain to me is the complexity of their character. They're story. Why they are the way they are. What led them to be such a vile villainous person. But normally, even with the villain, they always have a soft spot for someone. Just 1 person. Christian Troy, had a soft spot for no one. Not his best friend, his fiance, his wives, or even his son. Sometimes i understood his logic. But most times i just sat there and shook my head in disbelief.

Most of the time, the villain is victim to jealousy. That's usually their reason to be so evil, thus trying to take out the good guy. But Christian's issue wasn't just jealousy. It was self hate. And when you hate yourself, you can't really love anyone else. But from our point of view of the show, Christian had absolutely no reason to hate himself as much as he did. He was good looking, filthy rich, and smart. Not as smart as his partner, but i mean he was a plastic surgeon. That's usually how it is with the really bad people though, people who from the human eye, have no reason in the world to hate themselves. Those inner demons are a bitch.

I'm a believer that there really are truly bad evil people in this world. Not the kind that are jealous of envious of a person. So they are just cruel to them. That's typical "Bad Guy" behavior. No, i mean really evil people. People who could care less about anyone but themselves. The kind of people that really don't have a conscious. They can hurt their best friend, brother, sister, wife, husband, or anyone that is close to them, without really thinking about it. Misery does love company. But i think once misery manifests into a lifestyle, that's something completely different. Theirs no saving that. (At least not without the help of a serious therapist)

I always say we as humans, always make the mistake of believing we are the only exception in most of these bad people's lives, because we believe they love us. We can watch them do such awful stuff to other people, but when you love someone you think, "They would never do that to me." But a bad person, will be a bad person. They don't really know how to truly love someone. Or be their friend. They love themselves more then anyone else, so they wouldn't care to learn how to be a better person. They may try to change, because they love you, but eventually, the real them will seep through. Sometimes they may even do good things. Bad people do good things sometimes, just like good people sometimes do bad things. Its about being able to tell which was genuine.

I read somewhere a along time ago that if you really want to see a person's true self, look at how the treat other people. People that they don't know. Pay attention in how they interact day to day with random people. The lady at the drive through at McDonald's or the waiter at a restaurant. That's when they're true character will show. And please don't believe them when they say they'll never do it to you. Because when mad day comes, not only will they do it to you, they'll do it 10 times worst.

An Honesty Box Message.



(Click message to see it clearer if its to blurry)

Its always so funny to see what random people think of you. I've never thought i was so strikingly good looking that people thought i was stuck up. Nor did i ever think i gave off the illusion that i had lots of money. But people will see what they want to see. Its almost flattering, but its from a male. Go figure.
