SoD:: Tears Dry on Their Own (Amy Winehouse)

Hey y'all today I'm just doing celeb stuff, it's really juicy today!

So I'm going to start off w/what you should've already heard about......

First off, Sandra Bullock and her continued situation. If you've been under a rock, basically she's been a victim of the Oscar Curse--cheater hubbie causes the filing of a divorce. She spoke to People magazine and also reveals that she and Jesse *cheater hubbie* had adopted a baby from New Orleans back in January. Sandra told them that she is going to raise the little boy on her own, as a single mother. He's too precious!!!

A lot of my friends had a problem with the fact that the baby was black....WHO CARES?!? He's a cutie pie and he is being rescued from the foster system. Some people were ignorant to the fact that he was from New Orleans because they're used to SOME famous couples only adopting kids from other countries (cough, cough Brangelina). Sandra adopted him from the USA--which is something else I applaud her for. This woman is one of the best actresses around right now, so versatile with her acting skills and she is holding her head up and staying strong even though Jesse did her dirty. Keep on keepin on girlfriend!

THEN....last night, The Hills premiered its newest season on MTV.

I don't watch the show, but this clip has surfaced, of course, for everybody to see. The clip is Heidi revealing her "new" self to her mom....clearly mama doesn't like it & has NO problem telling her daughter the truth. Now THAT'S the kind of mom we all need to have!!! (I know mine is truthful and has no problem hurting my feelings)

Also, this morning I was up w/Myles and I saw the ka-yutest 3 little old ladies on the Today Show talking about their new show that premieres tonight....Sunset Daze on WE TV @ 10 pm. It was described by Al Roker as Jersey Shore meets the Golden Girls....we'll see!

A lot of Glee fans are getting upset w/the fact that American Idol has run over by a few minutes for the second week in a row. Why do they care? Because it cuts off the end of Glee, therefore they aren't able to see the entire show.....if anybody is as much of a fan as me and you saw everybody tweeting about the "white girl singing a song from The Wiz", here it is! Enjoy!!

And if you were one of those fools who thought Bobby Brown was dead, he's not....so get over it!!

#thatisall folks!

Chris Brown is in THE building....VA Stand Up!

April is National Grilled Cheese Month!

HAPPY GRILLED CHEESE MONTH folks! In order to celebrate this delicious month I laid out some tips in making your boring grilled cheese sandwich into a mouth watering scrumptious delight.

1. Add a mix of cheeses! Don't just slap on two slices of American, but spice it up with Pepperjack and Swiss. A blend of cheeses is delicious and always makes for a better sandwich than plan ol' American.
2. Butter it up! Don't be afraid of the butter…butter both sides of your bread and lay it on THICK. When you go to grill, bake, or sear your sandwich in a pan it adds a nice, rich taste. And if you are worried about the fat that butter brings, margarine is a-okay.
3. Honey Wheat Bread! Honey wheat bread is DELICIOUSLY HEALTHY and a step up from plan white bread. Or you should also go for deli select thick bread; the more cheese you use, the thicker your bread has to be.
4. Accompany it with tomato basil soup! My all time fav! Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup will NEVER steer you wrong. And if your April is warm, then swap out that soup for a nice light fruit salad. Delicioso!

Hope these tips helped in making your Grilled Cheese Month a memorable one :o)

Ms. Mfn's Corner

Dear Ms. Mfn,

I have a good friend who I met in college and she's been adopted as my sister from another mister who just stays ashy. Yet, I know that she does some grimy things to her so called "friends". It's never happened to me, but with this new guy I'm sort of talking to she's hinted that he's cute. She's really into black guys and recently I'd gotten an e-mail from one of her best friends stating that she'd slept with her now ex boyfriend.

I decided to stay out of their business, but I did keep that in the back of my mind. Also, she went on a vacation with a few of our other girlfriends last year and they came back telling me some crazy stories of things she'd done while they were down there. Again, I stayed out of it, but the acts stayed in the back of my mind.....I'm just really concerned that she's going to go after this guy I'm talking to now. She's already sent him a request to be his friend on Facebook and I just put a picture up of us. That sort of really sent off a red flag to me!!!

What should I do?!?

Thanks,

Confused on the definition of a Loyal Friend

Dear Confused on the definition of a Loyal Friend,

Let me first school you on LOYALTY. The definition of loyalty is being “faithful to one's oath, commitments or obligations.” We all misconstrue and assume that all of our friends have to be loyal to us, when in actuality the only person they have to be loyal to is themselves. So with this harsh fact, you must know that this so called friend of yours is NOT LOYAL TO YOU! It's called being realistic. Welcome to realism.

With this found new realism, it sounds like your friend's only true interest in life is something that belongs to the opposite sex; a penis. She has history of not being loyal to her best friend, so why assume she'd bare you any slack? Especially since you stated that she already commented on the fact that he's handsome? Here is what you do in your new realistic world …

1. Tell him to NOT accept her friend request. If he likes you enough, then he will listen.
2. If you and her are really friends, tell her do NOT send him a friend request. There is no reason for them to communicate. At all.
3. And if the friend request is already sent, and he already accepted it, tell him to delete her.

And it is as simple as 1, 2, 3.

Life is an experience. Learn from it.

Ms. Mfn {that's MUFFIN to you}

WoW!!

Today's SoD:: Tardy for the Party-Kim Z from RHoA (Real Housewives of ATL)

News from the 804::

James Poole (known as JJ) was found shot to death last night in a playground....here's a clip from a local news station featuring his mother's plea to find his killer

http://www.nbc12.com/global/category.asp?c=151146&clipId=&topVideoCatNo=15149&topVideoCatNoB=135440&topVideoCatNoC=136187&topVideoCatNoD=136183&topVideoCatNoE=154626&autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=4728925&flvUri=&partnerclipid=

If you're from the area, or not and know anything about this homicide, PLEASE help out! Call Crime Solvers with ANY tips//leads you may have.

Also, Lt. Governor Bolling is back from Italy after being stuck overseas due to the volcanic ash cloud hovering a good portion of Europe.....I really could care less though (that's just me)

**That's all for local news but I'm about to go on a little rant about some things that have been going on nationally**

First off, I don't believe in abortions. Point blank.

With that being said, I hate to see selfish women who are going around just having sex and whoring around with whatever and whomever they want, without using protection. If you know that you're going to be a whore, USE PROTECTION. I mean I hate seeing cases where children are neglected and/or killed because of the fact that they have either been abused or they are with somebody who doesn't care about them. It hurts me so bad. There are so many women in the world that go through adoption because they aren't capable of having children of their own. So if there is a woman out there who knows she won't be capable of taking care of a child, just give it up for adoption.

I know it would be better for you both.

Second, what's up with all of this bullying and sexual assault going on in middle schools and high schools? I'm not that much older than the kids that are dealing with this stuff now, but really though it's just crazy.

One of my good friends from college recently sent me a text saying that her little sister, who is in high school, got jumped by a group of girls and she was also sexually assaulted. This wasn't the first time it had happened to her at this school either. If it was me, I would've been really pissed off if the same group of kids has attacked my child more than once. I'd be trying to get them expelled, really. I mean think about how these types of things makes the kids feel. The little girl who not too long ago committed suicide because of the fact that the bullying from her peers had gotten out of control.....IT'S SAD AND SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING.

But I also blame the parents. Why? Because there has to be something that they aren't doing which is causing these kids to come to school and feel like they need to be dominant in some type of way. Usually when a kid is bullied, the bully is lacking something.....so I'd also advise that the school would make these kids that are bullying go to some type of counseling b/c this just isn't right!! If it was my kid, I'd be one pissed off parent.....and you REALLY wouldn't like me pissed off about something dealing with my child.

*steps off of my soap box*

I want to share this with y'all cuz I just bout died when I saw this::

Why they have to repeat it in slow mo though?!? TOO MUCH!!!

Anywho, I don't have too much more to say.....it's after 9 PM on a Friday....

xoxo.

I'll try and blog this weekend, but if I don't, y'all be safe!!

Earth Daze

First off, my SoD song of the day* is Earth by Suzy Q (an old local artist)

Today is Earth Day, if you didn't know!

So in today's world, first starting locally *8o4*::

With this first one, all I could do was laugh, ask why, then keep it rolling for real....so VA, the same place where Governor McDonnell has declared April the Statewide Confederate Month, has decided to make a person get a new licence plate because it refers to Hitler in a secret way.....the Department of Motor Vehicles made the TAXPAYER change the license plate from stating "14CV88". The 14 represents the number of words in a white supremacist credo, CV stands for The Sons of Confederate Veterans and the 88 refers to Hitler, being that H is the 8th letter of the alphabet and "Heil Hitler" begins with 2 H's.

Now any other day I'd be upset with this but with the way things are going in Virginia, who could give 2 hot ham sandwiches what somebody has written on a license plate??? Really though, I see a lot of things on a daily basis that I could take offense to but I choose not to. As I stated before, the GOVERNOR of VA has declared April the month of Confederacy, at first leaving out anything about the slaves or other people who had anything to do with Confederates. I think it's so sad we take one step forward and 50 back.....we're NEVER going to get anywhere in life with such ignorance! Clearly, this license plate was something that the owner of the car cared about enough to put on their car, they should have the right to do whatever. Not saying I agree with what it stands for, but think about it, that's like me putting my son's name on the back of a car but a woman may have been molested, abused, etc by someone with the name Myles and so she complains to DMV because she constantly sees my license plate. I'd be really pissed if I had to change it because of the fact that SHE is uncomfortable with it. I personally don't think it's right or fair, but what is these days right??

Also, a little over a month ago Pastor Anthony Taylor was killed when his vehicle was hit by a man, Darryl Harris, who was being pursued by the police. Harris is being charged with second degree murder, but there are no charges dealing with his running from the police, do you think that there should be?

**New Video Alert**

Holla At Me-Chris Brown & Tyga

(I was beginning to wonder what happened to Tyga)

Now on to my responses to celeb gossip goin on::

Vivica Fox will have her own line of wigs coming out soon....The Vivica Fox Hair Collection is the name of the line.....so original

Both Will Smith && Tommy Lee Jones have committed to being in the Men in Black 3.....it's sort of late for a third installment of this movie!! To me anyways.....

This isn't new, but if people were really surprised when Ricky Martin came "out", they need to check their gaydar, he was SO two snaps and a shake.....seriously!

Producer Jim Jonsin has sued Lil Wayne while he's in jail.....WTF, really though?!? That's kind of a low blow from Jonsin.....he mustn't have the balls to do it when Wayne is free **I'm just sayin**

ABC and FOX aren't playing a specific Lane Bryant commercial.....they claimed it was too racy. If I'm not mistaken, don't we see busty women on TV all the time?? UGH, Americans and their double standards can go kick rocks!

Anywho, I think I'm dunzo for the time....if there's anything else I feel like ranting on about later, I just may do so!!

Oh yeah, it's about DAMN time Kate got voted of DWTS and Tim is gone from Idol!!

An Explination of Sorts.....

Hey y'all!

In this first blog, I'm just going to explain to you in a nutshell what I'll be featuring in my blog & how it's going to go down....

But before I get started with that, I just want to tell you a little about myself :o)

Name's Lauren. Age:22. Location: Richmond, VA (for now) Mother of one (Myles Kristofer, born January 15, 2010) Graduated from Peace College in Raleigh, NC w/a major in Mass Communication. Dream is to one day have my own radio show. Loves to talk about news and celeb gossip. I have to catch the news everyday before I go to bed and I have to get some type of celeb gossip (via Necole Bitchie or Perez) on a daily....

Now to inform you what you can expect on my blog.....basically my personal opinion about what's going on in the world of news && celeb gossip. Occasionally, I'll have my best friend weigh in as well on here and she may chat about something along the same lines or whatever. I think I may blog about the news most of the time (my local, national, international)....all of it.

So feel free to comment and I hope you enjoy :o)
