Credit is everything. Without it you can’ t qualify to make big purchases when you want to. No one wants bad credit or wants to be in debt While there is bad debt there is good debt. Good debt is required when you make purchases and pay them off within deferred loan periods so you can obtain more credit. However, the more credit power and revolving credit cards you have the more likely your chances to get loans for bigger things are locked due to insecure debts. The average American has at minimum 2000 in credit card debt and not enough cash flow to pay off their debt quickly enough to have cash to do other things.
The other day I mentioned that Google is quickly becoming the source to get up to the minute live video footage and interviews with your favorite stars and political figures so you don’t have to wait for biased media resources to seal interviews, place their exclusive stamps on coverage and act like you are in some competition for news of same artists and people we all love. That ISH has got to go and we aren’t even acknowledging anything labeled EXCLUSIVITY anymore. This would taint the authenticity of GOOGLE.
A stunt like this gone bad could instantly snap the neck of this daredevil, Heath Frisby, who landed the first flip ever in the history of the Winter X Games, but hold your applause. Someone is bound to get killed trying a stunt like this with a heavy object in the air. What happens if he misses his landing? There are simply no repercussions, but death or a trip tot he hospital. This kind of stunt should be banned. Just imagine how many youth will try this on their bicycles.

Every woman has a story, but Jada Pinkett is giving clues that her hubby and her have had difficulties maintaining their presence and value in Hollywood way back since being honored by Essence Magazine. She tells the Essence audience to “DO YOU and touch the power within yourself to DO YOU!” If these two have officially broken up they are probably willing to save face so hubby, Will Smith’s Box Office success won’t be affected in upcoming movies. Will can’t afford to lose all of Jada Pinket’s fans.
In recent news, Toni Braxton has recovered from Lupus complications and stated, “I wanted to say thanks to all my fans for their support, as I have been experiencing some flare ups with my lupus which has me in the hospital for a few days.” The singer released statement to ATLANTA BUZZ after missing a dinner and screening at SLS Hotel among siblings, Towanda, Traci, Trina and Tamar and mother Evelyn. WE tv stated that Toni checked herself into the hospital due to a flare up of pain associated with the disease. Folks speculated that the singer may be disgruntled over more emphasis placed on Tamar than the singer whose career span placed her at the top of music charts before succumbing to complications of heart disease as well….
Ciara expressed some disgruntlement with her record label a while back and since then seems to be on point again with new label, but like a cross of fate she was on the same league as Rihanna not to long ago if you’ll remember. While Rihanna has swept pop charts worldwide the question remains if Ciara can reclaim her reign or are her airy vocals that transcended her to the Queen of Krunk of the past?
In the January 16th issue of Life& Style, Wendy Williams states for her New Year’s Wishes to the Stars for Rihanna to stop trying so hard. She also, goes on a rampage stating that Nene Leakes needs real friends, more air time and less Twitter. Do you think Wendy Williams is a bit envious of the two stars or giving motherly advice both will take well when they pick up a copy of the issue? In my opinion, Rihanna and Nene are helping to pay people’s bills who work with them and putting millions in the pockets of media who track their every controversial move. Where would Twitter be without Rihanna and Nene Leakes? Even Diddy said he is a Real Housewives of Atlanta fanatic and always in the chat rooms as a true fan of the show.
Nicki Minaj channels TLC’s STUPID HO in her latest release, STUPID HOE. Which version do you like the best? Nicki Minaj also, channels one of her own songs w/ Rihanna “FLY” by the last verse just in case you’re wondering to show that she’s responsible for the singing hook we all thought was Rihanna.
This is the week Jennifer Hudson’s new book, I Got This reaches number one. She talks about how she lost 80 pounds with Weight Watchers and manages to keep it off. This could put Weight Watchers ahead as the leading weight control company worldwide. Congrats Jenny!
Perhaps she did it to reenergize her over all vibe, but Ameriie’s name change had everyone thinking Def Jam hijacked her personal Twitter and perhaps it was updated by someone else other than herself. Now it is confirmed that her Twitter is indeed @AMERIIE as in two II’s and not really a name change, but an extra i. People searching for her new music simply couldn’t find the artist. This single, OUTSIDE YOUR BODY, has been out for a while and the singer has been keeping busy with numerous show appearances outside the states. her underground hit, OUTSIDE YOUR BODY glorifies the dark underworld of London and Japan which both have a heavy drug use population as well as unforgettable landmark sites.Hopefully, Ameriie is talking about the latter benefits of visiting these countries to party. See a video of a stan getting busy on the drums to former Amerie, now AMERIIE’s underground hit, ‘OUTSIDE YOUR BODY.’
Not sure how TMZ.com got Reverend Al Sharpton to stop and answer a series of questions of and related to Newt Gingrich and President Barack Obama, but it has got to be one of the classiest interviews from TMZ.com. They addressed Reverend Al Sharpton with utmost respect. The man’s name is synonymous with every fight for justice since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s fight for equality and he is by far one of the most respected African American leaders despite harsh criticism for his controversial comments, but from this video, the Rev leaned on the shield with high praise for President Barack Obama in the most brotherly fashion and he’s right, President Barack Obama needs to team up with Gladys Knight and perhaps a sleuth of his fav country singers to sing his way to another presidential term with that charm no one can resist. BO is charming his way into American Hearts and everyone loves it. GO BO & First Lady MO! You’ll be hearing about BO & MO a lot around here.

LiteraryDish.com holds in it possession the original album, Let’s Stay Together by Al Green, and opening theme song excerpted by President Barack Obama to everyone’s surprise at the world famous APOLLO THEATER in Harlem, New York. Not only was Barack Obama’s speech well received, but he got flying colors for his edition of Al Green’s song that was more than just a tune, but outright proof that President Barack Obama is a “brother.” His middle name may be Hussiem, but believe it or not he just took out another Al Quaeda leader this week. A man of his word, his Popularity meter just rose 100% thanks to stellar vocals. Who knew?
Many clueless kids are singing “Rack City” by new artist, Tyga with album, “Careless World,” due last April just arriving sometime this season. The Compton rapper made a name for himself with the YMCMB conglomeration which helped Nicki Minaj solidify two hit songs, “BedRock” and “Roger That” with his contributing vocals, but it was his collaboration with Chris Brown on their Fan of a Fan mixtape that gained him a Grammy nomination for their duet, “DEUCES…..”
Nick Cannon had a kidney failure scare a week ago, but is back up in spirits and at work again. The rapper, actor, producer and tv personality even tweeted to his fans that he is fine, but made a commitment according to his Twitter to adopt a strict renal diet which includes less fluids, potassium and salt in his diet so he’ll be able to do stick around for his kids….
If his voice doesn’t gravitate you his lyrics will. Ryan McDaniel is virtually an unknown, non viral superstar sure to break out of the box on purpose rather than by accident because his sound has got that alluring crossover soundtrack feel of a movie awaiting to be made. You know Ryan’s voice can easily lend to a new RnB era of music perhaps listeners aren’t ready for, but will have to get ready because it’s so easy on the ears you love it. Sure do hope this guy isn’t wearing contacts. His teeth are white and hair clean cut…. thick eyebrows. Let me listen to some more of this guy before I decide he’s going to be as big as Usher or decide for yourself. Watch a video…

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association jumpstarted the 2012 awards season Sunday evening with its annual recognition of the best in film and television. Simultaneously serving as an indicator of Oscar potential, the Golden Globes crowned The Artist and The Descendants as the early favorites by virtue of each one’s enjoying multiple wins, including in the Best Comedy or Musical and the Best Drama categories, respectively.
The former’s Jean Dujardin and the latter’s George Clooney landed acting accolades, with Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady) and Michelle Williams (My Week with Marilyn) winning as lead actresses. Streep’s victory ostensibly came primarily at the expense of The Help’s Viola Davis whose fellow cast member, Octavia Spencer, did prevail in her bid for Best Supporting Actress.
The only other people of color to take home trophies were Morgan Freeman who got a lifetime achievement award and Idris Elba for the made-for-TV movie Luther. This showing for minorities was a major improvement over 2011, when no blacks, Asians, Latinos or Native-Americans won anything.
With all of the insensitive comments actors and media figures make alike on Twitter daily, actor Mark Wahlberg was singled out for a so called “Insensitive remark” toward 911 victims in a foreign magazine. The very handsome actor known for his diesel muscles in past Calvin Klein Ads and 1/4 part member of number one boy band group, New Kids on the Block mentioned if he was on any of the planes of 9/11 the situation would have turned out differently and there would have been blood shed. A protester who read his comments in a magazine commented he was insensitive and may be a super hero on the big screen, but he is not a super hero in real life. Too many people died during 9/11 and why protesters feel Mark Wahlberg should have used better judgement, but he is just ONE MAN and if man kind was infallible we would all be GOD.
I am sure Mark meant well and would have made a difference bering he cancelled a flight over seas just days before the 9/11 incident. His remarks come after a viral video of soldiers urinating on slain captives whose indecency may reflect what Americans suffered during 9/11. This post 9/11 disorder shared by stars, military men and everyday civilians has many making mistakes they regret, but is anything more worse than America misquoting Dr. Martin Luther King’s words on his own monument or spelling dead victims of 9/11 incorrectly on the 9/11 memorial. Perhaps, our morals and ideals are misconstrued and displaced. Let’s not all take out our aggression on ONE MAN, Mark Wahlberg and destroy his career like he is some animal (pardon me PETA) and the worse human civilan of the world.
God bless Mark Wahlberg, for showing his patriotism and owning up to his personality by apologizing. He’s a bigger person. And– Shame on media for giving a voice to that one protestor who is attacking ONE MAN. Democracy isn’t about censuring everything that offends us, but setting boundaries for people to make their comments and beliefs private if necessary from what they say in their own homes, on the phones, in their cars and personal events. If you don’t like the information in a magazine than don’t buy it, but Mark Wahlberg is entitled to his feelings. He is much more macho than Francesco Schettino who left his sinking ship like a coward. GROW UP AMERICA. H

“A future so bright it burns your eyes,” says Oprah during televised interview with Diane Sawyers. All 72 girls are off to college thanks to Oprah’s Leadership Academy in Africa. A few off to new York and could very well be the seed to change and save lives in the U.S.A. They say every path in life is not vain, and who knows, Oprah’s leadership of these 72 girls could very well save the world. My eyes filled when I saw this video footage I discovered on ConcreteLoop.com. I was taken away by the number of girls going to college ….
100 percent and America still has children in classes failing and falling behind. Most teachers are so dedicated, but yet some children fail, but we have to ste by and wonder has the system failed our American children and how can we do more. Oprah’s Leadership Academy sets an example for every one to take action to do more. Every child should shine so bright it burns your eyes. These girls despite success suffered many setbacks and over 6 travesties from encounters with death, AIDS, and violence among their family members and still were able to rise above all obstacles. We may have all been distracted by “FAME” media chronicles in the U.S that sometimes forgets to acknowledge people doing great things for our youth. We are too proud, too competitive, too emotional, too self absorbed and too full of ourselves to care about what counts and that is supporting Oprah’s OWN NETWORK and take time to observe, learn, grow and listen to our inner voices calling us to do better.
On this day that America celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday as a national holiday I celebrate Oprah’s fine accomplishments and care in helping someone DREAM BIGGER & BETTER. I have to admire that and pass that message on. Many Americans are successful. One has obtained an education, works and maintains a decent living, able to entertain oneself with life’s finest commodities from traveling around the world to investing in technology, but many of us haven’t sewn our seeds to leave behind a legacy for love to grow. Oprah, nor I, me, you or we can save the world, but we can all make a difference starting today..
Here is one award tonight that will leave a nasty taste in your mouth if you ever treated a slave or black person in your life badly and invited them over for supper. I am not too fond of people seeking revenge in this mode toward racism, but I will say if you ever do such a thing to another human being it is punishable by 10 years in prison. Eating sh*t is toxic according to the FDA. Congrats to Octavia Spencer. The Golden Globes is such a boring show I have watched Common’s AMC series, MSNBC Candid Cam Show featuring all of those viral videos and yes, updated my author site.
Not sure why Montell Williams would say that the USA should reinstate the DRAFT PICK, something like slavery revisited to demand young boys be drafted to serve int he military to fight terrorists over seas. With the number of military men killed who never made it back, many believe it was an insensitive gesture by Montell Williams once revered as a respected man on television who’s popularity just went down the drain. Chris Brown didn’t fall prey to the same question asked by TMZ who tried to pinpoint him before taking the wheel after having a few drinks. Chris Brown was quick to mention that he was designating his driver to take the wheel. He then spoke friendly at the cameras of TMZ crew which the next day could set him up and say he was angry, mean, violent and in rage.
Chris looked chipper, in control and nothing like the media paints him out to be all on the account of one fateful night. He then motioned for the cameras to film someone else which most celebs hog the spotlight. His last test he passed with flying colors was when he responded that he is not into political things and said, ” I love everyone!” and even though his reps mentioned he would not be conducting any more interviews. Thank goodness Chris Brown didn’t just walk away from the cameras and brushed off the most annoying paparazzi’s in the business with humor. Life is a test, but I think Chris Brown is going to win in 2012. The Grammys are right around the corner.

Lights, camera, action, Chad Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada cover Urban InK Magazine. At first glance, I expected a photo shoot with two egos against Luda’s MVP Hip Hop song, but as it turns out the couple was very humble. Ochocinco admitted he does push ups to make him look more pumped up for these photo shoots.
The youngest of the Braxton family who epitomizes the definition of an “Angry Black Woman” on the hit reality tv show and according to most viewers of The Braxton Family Values, seems like the super brat faced whining baby of the family who has edged sister Toni Braxton right out of the spotlight. She now headlines on the cover of JET MAGAZINE with hubby, Vince, a record producer behind the success of acts like Lady Gaga whom the singer publicly thanked for finding her….
Last week , Newt Gingrich referred to as the “GRINCH” HOUSE SPEAKER, boldly called GOP presidential nominee, MITT ROMNEY, a liar in his face. He questioned his negative ads toward him which totalled 3 million dollars. His comments stirred major questions by Norah O’Donnell of CBS news who restated GINGRICH OWN WORDS, ” You said of Mitt Romney, someone who will lie to you to get to be president will lie to you when they are president. I have to ask you, are you calling Mitt Romney a liar?” Not sure if Norah was reprimanding Newt Gingrich who happens to be from the same party as Mitt Romney or trying to pull out inconsistencies with Mitt Romney’s campaign, but Newt’s comments are ALARMING on the scale of 1-10, a solid 10…..
