WetSeal Hot Picks

I was browsing around the web again looking for a new look to go with my new body. Here are some cute items I came across on WetSeal's website. The prices are pretty reasonable too. Despite the urge to splurge, I am going to hold off on anymore shopping until I reach my goal of 140 pounds. It doesn't hurt to create wishlists though :-)

New Drink Promises to Burn Calories

I decided to give House of Dereon a try

I went shopping for myself today, something I have not done in quite a while. I went to the mall with H.O.D. on the brain. I had always heard the jeans advertised as being for the "curvy woman" and that they hug the top of your butt so you don't have to worry about the crack of your butt showing everytime you sit down. Well, I must say, these jeans are living up to the advertisements and I love them. I thought I would fit just right in a size 9/10, but that was not snug enough for me, so I went down to size 7/8 and the jeans fit me perfect. I am questioning whether or not I really want to be 140 lbs and think maybe at this point I need to start focusing on toning. Just thinking for now. Anyway, I got a pretty good deal on my jeans. The lady that sold me the pants among other things, took 20% off my entire purchase. God bless her heart :-)

Beyonce Knowles Nominated For Two Golden Globe Awards

R&B superstar Beyonce has just received nominations for two Golden Globe Awards: Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy for her role in "Dreamgirls" and Best Original Song - Motion Picture for "Listen" from "Dreamgirls" (music and lyrics by Henry Krieger, Anne Preven, Scott Cutler and Beyonce Knowles). The DreamWorks Pictures/Paramount Pictures production, "Dreamgirls," was also nominated for the Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical Golden Globe.

"Being a part of 'Dreamgirls,' and working with a director as wonderful as Bill Condon, was an opportunity of a lifetime for me, enabling me to grow as an actress," said Beyonce on her Golden Globe nominations. "To be nominated in two categories by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is an honor that I graciously accept. I am so happy for the accolades being given to the movie as a whole. I was thrilled to work with Oscar winner, Jamie Foxx, and I am happy to share these nominations with fellow nominees Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy." ...Read More

UPDATE: Beyonce is NOT 32





I happen to have an account with Ancestry.com and decided to look up Beyonce Knowles. I found a record similar to the one on MediaTakeOut.com, but this one has the real birth year of 1981, not 1974.

Mathew Knowles Creates Rap Radio for Kids

Beyonce's father, Mathew knowles, has created the Kids Rap Radio Series. I think this was such a wonderful idea. I visited the myspace page for Kids Rap Radio and heard the two sample songs. The first one was a kids rendition of "I Know You See" and the second one was "Why You Wanna". Basically the music is the same as the original songs, but the lyrics are much more kid friendly. I really liked "Why You Wanna". here's a snippet of the song: "You always tell Stevie no when he wanna eat snacks, now why you wanna go and do that MaMa, huh?"...I thought that was so cute, and I would rather hear my child sing that instead of the original version. Beyonce's handsome nephew, Juelz will be the spokesperson. Here's what Beyonce had to say:

"My nephew is so amazing when it comes to his natural impromptu rap performances. He's still at that innocent age, where kids unintentionally mimic everything they hear. It's up to us adults not to let children be exposed to things unsuitable for a young child. Adult music is for adults and now Kids Rap Radio is for the kids. To be so young, Juelz has a big job to fill as spokesperson for such an extraordinary concept and I know he will do a wonderful job."

Beyonce's Older Than We Thought?





I don't know how credible this story is, but according to MediaTakeOut.com, Beyonce is not actually 25, but 32 years old. The site even has a fax supposedly sent by an insider who claimed to work for the Texas Department of Health. When I analyzed the fax, I thought that the section that says "1974 births" was not actually the year, but maybe the actual number of births within a certain period. If it is true though, so what. Beyonce is still my girl.

The Second Coming of Karrine Steffans?



You are probably wondering about the relevance of this post to Beyonce. Well, it is of great relevance because the author of the book pictured above, Carmen Bryan, is dishing it all in her book It's No Secret: From Nas to Jay-Z, from Seduction to Scandal--a Hip-Hop Helen of Troy Tells All. Is she following in the footsteps of Karrine Steffans, author of Confessions of a Video Vixen? That's what is sounds like. In her book she talks about Jay Z, Nas, and even Beyonce. Carmen Bryan was putting all of the business out on Front Street on the Wendy Williams show. Check out the 3 part interview: 1, 2, 3.
