Hi readers! I’ve been on a hiatus for the past three months. My life has been turned upside down and inside out but things are getting better and there’s even a new man in my life…Polo, my almost 2 month old Yorkshire Terrier. LOL. He’ll be home May 1 and he’s the one thing that’s made me very happy these past three months.
But, I promise I’m coming back soon and very soon.
If you follow me on Twitter you will obviously know that I’ve been keeping up with my favorite TV shows such as Survivor, Amazing Race, America’s Next Top Model, a little bit of American Idol and of course the Real Housewives series.
My plan is to post a “return blog” on Thursday with Real Housewives, Brandy & Ray J’s Family Business and the foolishness that is Basketball Wives (I have a lot to say about those) SO…I will see you on Thursday.
Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for their victory over the Indiana Colts during Superbowl XLIV! The official score, Saints 35 and Colts 17. I’m not going to give a play by-play, but lets just say we all thought the Colts were going to walk away with the trophy until halfway through the third quarter. I don’t now what Sean Payton put to those men asses after halftime but it worked!!
New Orleans Saints, Who Dat?!
Sidenote: I was only cheering for the Saints tonight because neither of my teams made it. Go Cowboys! Go Panthers! See you in 2011? #WishfulThinking <——Did I just use a hashtag on WordPress?? Yes. #AddictedToTwitter
My favorite part of the Superbowl are the commercials! To see all the commercials from Superbowl XLIV visitthis official link.

Ok so I’ve been home all week watching TV and everything has been a repeat. This sucks because it’s not like I can go out and shop (which I love to do) because the snow is overpowering everything! We received 14 inches in Richmond, VA last weekend and now 6-10 inches will be expected for today and tomorrow. Yes!
Okay, so back to television
I’m bored with Hoarders unless there are cats involved. Am I the only one that has noticed the nastiest Hoarders have cats?! Disgusting.
I’ve given up on the Bachelor as well. Jake is very boring and Vienna looks like Hercules. I know that is mean and I shouldn’t say that but she does.
Vienna
Hercules
That’s mean. *slaps hand* I didn’t like how these “Spoilers” and videos were coming out about The Bachelor. Remember Rozlyn from Richmond, VA? That wasn’t true. They wouldn’t let her see her son and she left on her own. Everything else, total fabrication. Did anyone else see the video about Tenley telling him she was pregnant? I didn’t like that at all. I watched for two hours only to find out she told him she was married before. Shame on you ABC. Next time find a bachelor that’s not dry and boring then you wouldn’t have to make up stories for people to watch.
*Sigh* The Real World. They’re bor-ing. I thought they were going to be entertaining, unlike last season but unfortunately, no. Am I the only one who thought Ashley was being too dramatic with Andrew? That was ridiculous.
Up next, Real Housewives of Orange County. How can the originals be so boring? Bring on New Jersey and Atlanta please BRAVO, please!!! I beg you!! Check out this story that just came in a few hours ago.Real Housewives of New Jersey
Real Housewives of New Jersey
I haven’t been able to enjoy America’s Best Dance Crew season 5 because RHOOC, Project Runway and Celeb Rehab come on at the same time, of course. But nothing comes on from 8-10…of COURSE TV networks, OF COURSE you would put everything on at the same time. Shame on you.
Until next time folks…enjoy my snow pics from Richmond, VA
The fabulous world of Twitter made the Grammy’s worth watching this year. I give all credit to Twitter, Lady GaGa, Pink and the MJ Tribute (which should have been longer). No one has given him the tribute he deserves. The funeral in L.A. was the best one so far, but it was all a sad day.
Anyway. In my honest opinion, Pink stole the show for me. Anyone who can sing beautifully suspended 30 feet in the air on a piece of cloth, upside down has TALENT! She’s so underrated and I absolutely hate that. Here’s her performance that just blew me away. I can’t stop watching!
The night didn’t stop at Pink, she was just breathtaking. The night actually began with Lady GaGa (whom I absolutely LOVE) and none other than THE Sir Elton John, yes. John dressed in all of his GaGa glory and grotesque. People on Twitter complained, of course don’t we all? But it was ridiculous and I was a little upset by it. Lady GaGa makes you remember her. I joked several time about people just sitting on a stool or standing in one place and singing. And guess who did that? Taylor Swift and guess what? They still complained! Isn’t that what you wanted? I’m convinced I follow a lot of bi-polar people. *KanyeShrug*
Speaking of Kanye, congrats to him,Rihannaand Jay Z. It was so cute when they took little Jules onstage. And no people, that’s not Jay Z’s son. Son? When didBeyhave a baby? Never. Jules is Solange’s little boy.
Jamie Foxx performed “Blame It” …it was the usual coonery with 50 people on the stage. Last night, one of those people was his sister that he adores. She’s special needs and she was also in the video. He talks about her all the time and it’s just beautiful. What really pissed me off? People on Twitter knowing she was special needs but called her “Precious” and picked on her anyway. I think it was absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. You don’t know what will happen to you, your family member(s) or your kids so shut up! *Steps down from soapbox*
And lets not talk about the Drake, Lil Wayne and Eminiem performance, no I didn’t watch.
Go Lady GaGa!!
Huge night forBeyonce. I didn’t like her performance. It was a little dry and over the top. Can that be? Yes, we’re talking aboutBeyoncehere. Seems like she was channeling Janet Jackson with the militia she had walking her to the stage. Either that or they were there for protection from Kanye.
Anyway! LOL. Congrats on winning 6 Grammy’s beating Alicia Keys 5 Grammy’s in one night record! And huge applause to you for recognizing your husband for thefirst time. That “my husband…I love you” HUGE coming from those two.
MRS. CARTER-KNOWLES CONGRATS ON THE 6 GRAMMY WINS
Moving along.
The MJ Tribute was nice. But like I’ve said before, I need more and I don’t think we’ll get any more than what we have seen already. His kids stole the show and once again made every view tear up or cry. Prince was very well spoken accepting his father’s award but I think nerves got to Paris. It’s okay. They are precious and they will do amazing things in life. I also hear that they’re going to be on the “We Are the World” track that’s supposed to be released or recorded today.
MICAHEL JACKSON KIDS PRINCE MICHAEL AND PARIS ACCEPTING HIS AWARDS
I’m not going to waste time talking about Taylor Swift. Just know that it was again, “Night of the Swift”. She has yet to thank Kanye. And how DARE Elizabeth from The View say it was an honor to Stevie Nicks for singing with Taylor. No bitch. Taylor isn’t the legend here, Stevie is. Elizabeth, shut up.
Here are some pictures from the night. Enjoy!
RIHANNA WAS STUNNING

TheBachelor - Ok, so I’m totally done with the Bachelor. Seriously. The girls are entertaining and they’re all kinds of crazy but I’m done! Why? Well, one day I was browsing the wonderful world ofTwitterand I came across a preview clip of the upcoming show for the following week. The clip showed Tenely telling Jake she was pregnant. It was so real! Next thing you know, someone is walking out of the house with their suitcase. Last night I tune in, VERY excited about all of the drama that goes down and guess what? Nothing happens. Tenely tells Jake that she was married before and that’s it. No baby news. Michelle thinks she’ll get a magical fairy tale kiss from Jake and when she didn’t she decided that she cannot stay. Yes, the psycho left but they’re so many other psycho’s in the house I’m sure they’ll keep YOU entertained. I’m done watching. ABC was foul for pulling that one on us. Boring Jake isn’t getting ratings so now they make up fake storylines?? And don’t get me started on the fake Rozlyn story.
The Bachelor - Jake
Teen Mom -I woke up this morning to the news that Farrah Abraham of MTV’s hit show “Teen Mom” was allegedly slapped by her mother on Saturday due to “child care issues and other problems” On one hand I’m totally not surprised. Remember right after Farrah had Sophia and they were going car shopping and her mom popped her in the face? Yes. On the other hand I feel like Farrah is too much of a party girl to have a baby. She leaves Sophia with her mother almost every night to go party. What’s on her brain? Boys!
I was surprised to find out why Sophia’s father isn’t in the picture. If you watched “16 and Pregnant”, there was an episode where Farrah’s mom told her to block the dad’s number. Well in December 2008 he was involved in a fatal car accident. He lost control of the car and it flipped and hit a pole. Two other teenagers were in the car with him, only one survived, Sophia’s dad did not. Poor little girl. Her mom is unstable, her grandma is psycho and her dad is gone.

Fantasia For Real -Where do I begin with this show?? Well, let me start by saying VH1, 30 minutes isn’t enough for the entertainment that we get from Fantasia and her lovely family. Can we have an hour of Fantasia and just give an X to “Let’s Talk About Pep” and their horniness??? Seriously.
Teeny is the talk of the Fantasia show on Twitter. He’s a low life, sorry, trifling, gold-digger brother who has no goals and just wants to live off his sister forever. Last night his girlfriend told him she doesn’t want to be with him anymore because he needs to get it together. That’s an understatement. How is it that this guy is 28 years old, two cars, nice clothes and jewelry and no license? What? It’s time to get off your ass and take care of you. I’m surprised he doesn’t have a gang load of children spread throughout Charlotte…just sayin…
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
Yes, that’s an important question. What are you doing for others? What have you done for Haiti? Giving money is great but have you gone through your closet and pulled out old shoes and clothes that’s been sitting there for years? Have you volunteered for an organization to help the homeless? Did you stop and give the homeless man on the street your breakfast sandwich on your way to work? When you prayed last night, did you pray for me to?
These are some of the questions that we should ask every day that we wake up. We’re blessed because we took a breath and opened our eyes this morning. Everything else that happens is just a BONUS!!

If you’re on Twitter then you get the news from around the world within seconds of it happening.
Last night we were all devastated by the 7.0 Earthquake that hit Haiti. The hardest thing I woke up to this morning were the pictures and video that was shown on the news. I could not bear to watch. A young woman was on her cell phone and taking video with the other hand screaming “The world is coming to an end.” This saddens me.
My prayers go out to all the Haitian people today and from here on out. THIS is real. But struggle doesn’t last always.
This year I plan on being more active on this reality blog. I promised myself I would start promoting it more.
No New Year’s Resolutions…just goals.
I started going to the gym in November and I’ve kept that up.
I don’t know who all reads my blog but thank you for stopping by. Don’t be too shy to leave me a comment sometimes and follow me on Twitter! Let’s see what kind of “entertainment’ reality TV gives us in 2010!
Welcome to D.C.! The nation’s capital and the home of MTV’s newest season of The Real World. Let’s begin with the cast:
Meet Ashley: She’s a proud Christian girl that’s never been to D.C. She was so excited stepping foot onto the soil to the nation’s capital. She was a delegate for Barack Obama and she is in love with the man. Very liberal. A Cali girl who moved to Texas to be with her now ex-boyfriend.
Meet Mike: He’s a bisexual guy who believes strongly in his Christian values and befriends Ashley quickly. He says he feels comfortable with her because of their beliefs and she can be his shoulder to lean on. There was a little chemistry there until he revealed he was bisexual at the dinner table.
Meet Emily: I’m not sure if she’s as religious anymore because her family raised them in a cult like society. I was a little thrown off with her because as they argued over religion at the dinner table, she stayed out of it. When her and Andrew first met he couldn’t remember his own name.
Meet Andrew: I think he’s a weird guy. A nymphomaniac if you ask me. That’s ALL I got out of this first episode.

Meet Ty: The only black person on the show and he seems very “anti-black” to me. I’m waiting for him to say he hates black people and he’s the blackest thing in the house. He’s from Maryland and he grew up in the projects. He resents the way he grew up a lot. Before he got on the train to come to D.C. his girlfriend broke up with him. I doubt she was a black girl. Just saying *shrug
Meet Callie: She’s a small town girl from Texas and she’s very conservative. She told the housemates she was in between but she said Reagan was her favorite President. Photography makes her happy and she has talent by the shots they showed. She wants to read a map and break out of her shell in the “big city”
Meet Erica: She’s a lot of Rock n Roll. She’s a musician and seems very down to earth. There wasn’t much focus on her this episode.
Meet Josh- He’s a musician from South Philly. He dropped out of high school twice and has been locked up. He’s excited about getting out of South Philly because that’s all he knows.
Well…that’s the cast. I’m excited about this season. I can foresee a lot of “Obama” and “Jesus” fights this season. Tune in with me and follow me on Twitter!
What to say? What to say? Well first of all I want to welcome myself back. I’ve slacked on Survivor, Amazing Race and Real Housewives of Orange County because I’ve been home and it seems like I can’t get any rest and this is supposed to be my vacation. Who does that? But I do have to say for RHOOC to be the original housewives, they are quite boring and I can’t wait for the New Jersey crew!
So…about these “Bad Girls”
Natalie has made a name for herself somehow in L.A. I guess she runs L.A. with her chin alone. That thing bothers me! I guess it bothers many people who use Twitter too because “Chin” buzzes on Tweetdeck every Tuesday.

Marcus T. Paulk aka Miles from the hit 90s show Moesha made a guest appearance on the show. He’s a good friend of Natalie and he’s crushing on Kendra (the girl from my home state who everyone now hates).
Well, in a nutshell Natalie punched Kendra and leaves the house for a night. And of course what happens? The girls talk sh*t about Natalie and they’re all big and bad when she’s gone. Kendra was in all the hooplah with them until Natalie comes back. Kendra gives her a second chance because she doesn’t want to lose her connections, a.k.a “Miles”.

This is all some bull if you ask me. What happened to “If you fight, you go home?” mess that Kendra was pushing the whole time. Amazing what a man will make a woman do. Now Kendra has succumb to being Natalie’s little bitch and she seems perfectly fine with that.
The other girls in the house are pretty much boring. Except Flo and her antics. And I have yet to figure out why Annie is in the house. It looks like next week will be my favorite episode because Portia kicks Natalie’s ass for talking about her daughter. I don’t like this season so far. It’s quite boring. I’ll take Tanisha, Neveen, “Boston” and Kayla any day over this mess. Well, we’ll see next week.
