If a sign says don’t go in the water would you jump in anyway? Well, that’s what one British man did to learn how to swim and cure his fears of the ocean I guess and almost got eaten alive. It all happened so quickly and an amateur photographer surprisingly go t the footage of the Great white shark swimming away at about 60 miles per hour and then pausing to devour his meal. Since torrential storms, hurricanes, tsunami’s, earthquakes and manmade catastrophes from oil spills and submergence of garbage has infiltrated natural habitats of these huge predators who may find it hard to find tons of food, they now are surfing the coasts at an alarming rate.

No longer are the images of Jaws an imaginary tale seen only in the movies. This man was lucky to live through his ordeal thanks to a bystander who risked his life and jumped in the ocean to pull the man back to safety even though there were 2 other sharks near by. How the sharks knew the man was in the water is as clear as night and day. Sharks have very poor eyesight. If the man kept his body still the shark may have swam around him by accident, but his movement from panic sent electrical waves the shark was able to sense with its hearing ability. And don’t think that you can ball your body up and hang onto a sharks nose to go for a thrill ride. It retracts and it will eat all of you with its rows of teeth.

Many shark attack victims lives are saved thanks to sharks ability to lock jaw and snatch an entire chunk of their prey and instinct to dash away so other sharks won’t fight for same food. If you don’t belled to death , people have managed to swim back to the beach themselves after being attacked and save their own lives after losing a limb. You wonder if Cape Verdean could create a net to stop these sharks, but not only would this destroy the ecosystem of natural predators who help keep balance in the ocean, but a dead shark in the beach is a hell of a lot of dead carcass to clean up and smells like hell.

it’s also illegal to kill endangered ocean wildlife, plus nets don’t stop sharks. Most sharks caught in nets were found on the BEACH SIDE! That’s something to think about. Maybe humans have no business swimming in the beach waters and should keep out. You jump in the ocean with sharks you’re bound to lose something eventually.

Mary J. Blige entertained the crowd at Paper Magazine 2011 Nightlife Awards at Hiro Ballroom at The Maritime Hotel on September 27, 2011 in New York City for what goers are saying was one of her best performances of her career.

Luther Vandross

Marvin Gaye

The greatest black male singers of all time are undeniably Marvin Gaye, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson and Luther Vandross, who made an impact in music listeners lives around the globe. Who could deny Marvin Gaye’s soulful sex appeal, Nat King Cole’s elegant and timeless swagger before the word was invented, Ray Charles raspy and gravitating aura that captivated  your heart with pride to live in America like no other artist of any era, Luther Vandrosss mastery of the ballad and vocal flair that gave you goosebumps and of course, Michael Jackson’s timeless energy and lyrical abilities that defined the definition of singing talent for the duration of his entire life.

Nat King Cole

All of these artists had a certain uniqueness to them as did James Brown, Isaac Hayes, Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley ( Who I will say again was a black man) and of course, Stevie Wonder to Smokey Robinson still living and making music, but with all respect my TOP 5 are and always will be Marvin Gaye, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson and Luther Vandross, but don’t try to play any of their music to win over a hot chick. It won’t work. Women around the world only enjoy listening to these crooners (RIP) while cleaning, on the commute or while relaxing at the beach. Sorry guys.

Michael Jackson

Ray Charles

Be advised, the actions of one court in Georgia to kill Troy Davis, an innocent man via death penalty this past week cannot ruin the morale and sentiment of people for this state with embedded history. A lot of people have been flocking to Georgia and so this is what a few do to keep people out, especially in Savannah. Georgia is still a great song.

Rascal Flatts – Easy ft. Natasha Bedingfield is our ISH. Everyone loves this song. This si the song hook by Natasha Bendingfield you hear the badd #zz white chicks in the mall singing. We are guilty too of singing the hook in the mirror too while window shopping. Easy is just a good break song and cuts to the chase and shows you have moved on. Sing the hell out of it in front of your ex and sing it loud! In my opinion this is the kind of music Justin Bieber should be singing. I mean, why settle for a million when you can make a billion?

Nicki Minaj sported her “Ain’t Nothing But a Chicken Wing” Necklace which wasn’t a real fried chicken wing, but a real play food assortment dyed pink . No one in her right mind would wear real meat on their neck from the hood unless they want to attract maggots, flies and repel humans. If anything Nicki makes you think of food, but let’s hope the media does not eat her up with this  zany outfit complete with Rubber rain boots and a tutu which they are wearing in New York in dynamic numbers.

You may be too mature to understand this trend. I use to rock these duds in fashion shows so I don’t find anything unique  about this outfit other than the necklace and you know what, it’s kind of fly if you ask me. Maggots and flies are the equivalent of thugs in the hood and from queens to the Bronx where  girls love their thugs.

Go feast boys. Nicki is going to chop us up for meat for this one on her next album and we cant’ wait. Bring it on alumni.  Nicki feasts off negativity and wears it ,too BOO.  Why You Mad? Warning: Explicit Lyrics

Chris Brown is by far our favorite “Clumsy Singer of the Year,” and while we couldn’t help bu laugh to see Chris Brown bust his #ss on stage it was real funny how it all went down. The crowd was pumped and the most horribel singing fans started singing his hook before he arrived which could have been the culprit. The lights came on and he could see his audience which would freak out any artist. I guess he was expecting to see empty seats now that he is an expected daddy and officially off the singles list. You know how that disturbs the groupie fans, but this time Chris got to see he has real fans.  He enjoyed the vibe and started singing, ‘Take Your Sexy Time Don’t Let them Let You Down,” and that was the moment he crashed right on his butt . I mean you actually can hear the big slip, but he got up so fast it was quite comical and kind of doped to see him continue his performance with perfection. This is what stars are made off and CB pulled it off.

Those strobing lights on dancers is becoming a hot commodity, but I am going to be honest, I used glow sticks on models and dancers way back to create that effect just the same with one strobe light for one of my  high school fashion shows and it just shows ideas are nothing new, but just keep getting better. This is one show I would like to see in my lifetime, but I can’t splurge on tickets like that anymore. I am determined to pay off my home in full. I know CB pulled my niece into the Tyra Show way back who is now a business major, but I think I would have to be escorted in with police because his fans won’t like this post exposing  CB at his finest at mark 3:26. Oh, by the way, the song he’s performing is “Beautiful People” from the FAME ALBUM, best joint on there with a message.

One hot commodity for music artists nowadays between concerts and tours is celebrity appearances at local night clubs nationwide. How can nightclubs cover massive guest appearance fees of artists is very simple. You have something called “the bar” which on any given night can rack up tens and thousands of dollars for multiple drinks by each party goer. The average party goer has 2 drinks or more as well as non alcoholic seltzers. With thousands packed into one club that easily equates to a cover for an artist not including entry fees, VIP accompaniment, valet parking, coat checks and after party in house concert fees, VIP lounge area seating and provate party sections. J Lo is one hot commodity these days now that she is “Back on the block.”

All she has to do is keep her hair gorgeous, run 10 miles a day on an in door treadmill to stay in shape and do some ab work and she is a nightclub golden prize. Add some DJ skills which any woman can mastermind with the touch of a button selection complete with pre-recorded digital tracks, “just choose one” and a few wild and crazy dance moves to hype the crowd into the thinking they are partying with the celebs surrounded with body guards and J LO makes out as a Bronx Bombshell. We are proud of our diva.

It’s no secret that all the stars travel miles to perform at the newly renovated Bronx Palisades Theater, and stop into fashion outlets all around for the illestISH gear you won’t find anywhere like “Lace Earrings,”  ”Hoop Trinkett earrings,” Nail Jewelry” and “Biker bracelets .” All the trends fashion designers try to “COP AND SHOP” are here.  Bronx also has a lot of fast food outlets so it was befitting for PEPSI to show love and launch a Bronx brand all its own and everyone came out to support it like Estelle. Tens and Thousands gathered at the Bronx Flavor End of Summer Live Event at Barretto Point Park on September 25, 2011 in the Bronx borough of New York City. PEPSI wants you to lose the calories and keep the flavor. LITERARYDISH.COM loves the new cola.

The taste is out of this world and leaves you wanting more when you add cool ice.  A mouthwatering treat named after a cool town. FLIP THE DISH for facts about the Bronx.

Tina has an island in the middle of her large pool complete with a bridge, plush oasis and cobble stone deck, but it’s all a showpiece that would be better off if the center piece were removed to make this ocean more usable. This large obstruction takes away space for swimming or perhaps, the garden can be removed for a center dance aisle for parties. When Tina acquires a new home she should consider a smaller and more intimate pool for relaxation. I could see if there were waterfalls around to look at, but there is something lonely about sitting in the middle of a pool. I wouldn’t be able to rest for a minute looking both ways to see who’s around in those back woods and worse case scenario, there are strangers coming from both directions. Tina would have to make a dive in the pool to get out of there and make a run to the woods. Hope it is a gated community.

Here we have a great room with windows as tall as the palm trees outside. Why bother to add valences so high above as dust collectors? Why not remote control moving Venetian Blinds just in case voyeurs from outer space decide to go house peeking. Tina can see the whole sky and universe in this pic. That’s a lot to have to think about in one sitting. She may catch a UFO with that view. Also,  her living room table is also too far away from the sofas. The idea is to be able to place your feet on the furniture. And,why have such a big room if you are going to fill it up with ten couches. Enjoy the space and find comfort in emptiness  in  this huge room. The great room is so big you could host a convention in there.

Tina gets props for this state of the art stand up shower, but where is the bathtub? Can a lady get a Jacuzzi to take a bubble bath once in a while and what kind of privacy does she have when people walk in? Don’t tell me Tina sits in there with her friends. Say it isn’t so.

This bedroom looks cold like the doctor’s office, right? Why is the rug so far away from the bed and what can a little fan do for a bedroom this gigantic.  Try 3 fans or central air conditioning.  All in all, I don’t think Tina Knowles will have any trouble selling this house to some rich tycoon who values space, but the home doesn’t speak volumes for Tina’s personal style which I know totes more color, intricate decoration and more of a feminine touch. This straight edged no frills home is by far the most safely decorated home for a celebrity. I expected for Tina to be a comfort zone decorative person in touch with her need to design, but as you can see she is more into space, floors, walls and expensive finishing touches that make homes like this easy to sell because you can easily redesign it and make it you.

If you are an avid listener of Alicia Keys music you know she always has a hidden message in her songs. So she fell in love with a man who just keeps on getting into trouble with the ladies so it seems. How many excuses can Swizz Beatz make up now that child support payments have supposedly been settled for another love child. So now she is reaching out to her fans and we are listening. Let’s all buy her upcoming album so she can get a place of her own and get the hell out of this situation she is in. You can hear her screaming to the top of her lungs for help.

We got to all help Alicia. I am looking in the Poconos for Alicia or Hampton’s near J Lo’s new estate, but since she is going to have to give Swizz at least half her assets as the bread winner in the relationship she is going to need about 50 million more to live comfortably. I estimate she’ll need to sell 5 million records to accomplish that and this new jam sounds pretty cool. Now don’t let Swizz Beatz know that Alicia Keys fans are secretly conspiring with her.  Awesome song all jokes aside. Alicia knows how to build up to a song and needs to stop taking the media so seriously.  Everyone knows Swizz isn’t cheating on Alicia.
