WELCOME TO DIVA AVENUE! This is a new outlet for me to express my thoughts on entertainment, music ,FASHION, sports and any other features that come to mind. (All are areas that I EAT,SLEEP AND BREATHE ON A DAILY BASIS!)
Today has been a great day in the sense I'm happy for my best friend's new baby. Sasha wecome to the world! I can't wait to SPOIL you and teach all the great things like momma and Auntie Ke. I'm extremely tired so my intro is going to be short tonight all my energy is at a low level at this point. I want to leave you with this as an inspiration the last will be first and the first will be last. A lil taste of what i got from the great sermon provided by Bishop WAlker this past Sunday. I"m trying to be patient and wait to be first..I will be next. God Bless and let's get down to biz...
CHRIS BROWN APOLOGIZES FOR 2 MIN..WOW.. TOO LITTLE AND TOO LATE..WHAT DO YOU THINK? Well the talk of entertainment today was the fact that Chris Brown arose and spoke out on his actions from his Feb incident with then girlfriend Rihanna. ... do you think he's really sorry or is this just to win back some fame, money and fortune?
Joe Jackson seems to be giving interviews left and right claiming his son Micheal Jackson's death was FOUL PLAY.. well I HOPE THEY FIND OUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENS SOON B/C I'M SICK OF ALL THE STORIES AND RUMORS ABOUT HIM WITH HIS BRIAN AND WHERE HE 'S TO BE BURIED AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE CHILDREN WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OUT OF ALL OF THIS.. ONLY TIME WILL TELL.. ANYHOW HE ALREADY HAS AGREED TO DO INTERVIEW TONIGHT WITH LARRY KING.. WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT DEVELOPS IN COMING DAYS.. SIGH POOR MICHAEL BE GLAD WHEN THEY LET YOU RIP.
RIRI'S NEW HAIR DO WHAT DO YOU THINK..THEY JUST CAN'T GET ENUFF OF THE CLOSE SHAVE AND MO HAWK
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! I know you guys have been missing me and I'm back by popular demand ( joking :) ) I apologize for my absence been going through so much on every level. I'm thankful to a have God, a loving and supportive family, a Real MAN IN MY LIFE, and inner circle(aka friends). I have had an interesting week and learned a lot about a certain person in my life and myself at the same time. I could go on and on bout that but that's not the real reason you stopped by here. So let's get on with the biz buzz..
Okay so it just wouldn't be right if I didn't start off by paying homage to a great pioneer of journalism, the legendary "Walter Cronkite" he passed recently at the age of 92. He is covered many great monumental times in our history and great people of American History. He will forever be known and remembered as "The most Trusted Man in America." Rip and you will forever be in our memories.
In case you don't know who he is here's a clip:
Steve McNair’s Death: Arrest in the Case
So there was actually someone left to arrest in the death of Steve Mcnair after he was slain by Sahel Kazemi. The original owner of the gun Ex-con Adrian Gilliam Jr. has to bite the bullet for selling the gun to Kazemi. He sold the 9mm gun to her two days before the shooting occurred. It is a very unfortunate situation for more click here

YOU KNOW B IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES SO I HAD TO DELIVER HER NEW VIDEO WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? I KINDA THINK SHE'S SHOWING MADE LOVE FOR MJ IN THIS VIDEO..U BE THE JUDGE
LIFE IS TOO SHORT, SO WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON LATELY I MUST SAY WE ALL MUST LIVE IT UP! I MAN RIDE TH WHEELS OFF AND GO AFTER OUR GOALS AND HEART'S DESIRES. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT! This week was a long week for me and everyone else I'm sure. I mean Tuesday we had Mj memorial services and then here in Nashville we had Steve Mcnair's memorial at my church home Mt. Zion Baptist Church. My heart and prayers are with both families. It's like Usher's song he sung at MJ memorial feel like their "Gone too Soon." On a positive note, I'm claiming my destiny and I may have the opportunity to get some things lined up to relocate. I'm praying for that to happen b/c I need a new beginning definitely.Well enuff about me and my spill let's get on to biz...
Bishop Joseph Warren Walker III did a great job with the Mcnair memorial. If you didn't get to see it you definitely missed out on a lot. I have it here for you through this link here.. His service in his hometown Mississppii will air today on Channel 5 at 11am. I went to pay my respects on this past Thursday Steve Mcnair was a great guy despite the way the media has viewed him since his death. Let's not forget he was a father of 4 kids, a husband, football player, and better yet a humanitarian. During this memorial, I learned more about the type of person he was. He seemed like a good down to earth country boy and like everyone we all have flaws so I'm not go judge.
HERE'S A TOP 10 OF MCNAIR. YOU WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN..I JUST HOPE THIS ATHELETES RISE TO THE OCCASION AND GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY LIKE YOU DID..
OKAY SO MAXWELL WAS ON THE EARLY SHOW AND I MISSED IT SO I FIGURED I WOULD SHARE B/C I KNOW I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE..He performs "Pretty Wings", I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM TOMMORROW AT THE RYMAN! TRUE SOULFUL SINGER AND HIS SWAG IS MAJOR! Take a look...click here

TRUE HISTORY IN RARE FORM..LOVE THIS..SO I was talking to my dad about it would've been cool to see JAMES BROWN, MJ AND PRINCE TOGETHER... WELL GUESS WHAT IT ACTUALL HAPPENED ONCE SEE IT HERE..
How's everybody doing tonight? Today has been a hard day for me and all of you I'm sure at this rate. Today, "The World's Greatest Entertainer", Guiness Book of Records holder, Award winning, writer, father, and a legend in all our hearts was celebrated throughout the world. As I watched the CNN coverage ( while I really was supposed to be working..uhmm yea did you really thing I was going to be thinking about work at a time like this..NO!) online I was really at point of feeling happy,crocodile tears, and peace in the sense Michael 's memorial was an A+, I mean from beginning to end it was "Perfect" and I believe it was fitting for MICHAEL JACKSON. ( It was as if he was sitting right there with us or was that just the feeling I got... I WAS NOT ALONE). Now as for crocodile tears, i would say when Jermaine sung his favorite song "Smile", the Usher performance and the most tears came rolling for me when Paris spoke. She was a brave girl and it you could just feel the children and family as if you were there which just was too much for me.. LAST "PEACE" was in that building b/c think about it everyone was respectful and kept their composure...as the cameras spanned around the world IT WAS PEACEFUL AND THERE WAS LOVE WHETHER IT WAS IN NY, LA, NC, OR ATL.
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I BELIVE MICHAEL WANTED US TO Have and left EVERYONE "LOVE" ..JUST THINK IF EACH OF US DID HALF OF WHAT MICHAEL DID TO HELP SICK CHILDREN, LOWER CLASS FAMILIES, OR JUST HIS FANS HOW MUCH BETTER THIS WORLD WOULD BE..WE COULD DEFINITELY HEAL THE WORLD AS ALWAYS STRIVED TO DO! WELL THAT'S MY WORDS ON THAT FOR NOW.. LET'S GET ON TO THE FOOTAGE...

I'M AT A LOST FOR WORDS RIGHT NOW! ( AGAIN FIRST MICHAEL WHICH I'M STILL NOT OVER AND NOW STEVE AIR MCNAIR IS KILLED HERE IN NASHVILLE IN A HOMICIDE) i didn't want to believe this i had to go out and see it for myself...BUT TRUTH BE TOLD I BELIEVE IT WAS A MURDER SUICIDE. THE DIRTY LAUNDRY HAS NOW BEEN AIRED OUT..THE TRUTH HAS COME TO LIGHT...SAD THAT IT HAD TO END THIS WAY. Steve McNair 36, was killed at downtown condo he was renting. He was found sitting on a couch and his young 20 year old presumed girlfriend Sahel Kazemi( KNOWN TO HER FRIENDS AS JENNY) was found close by on the floor and the gun a semi automatic pistol was found under neath her body. Which leads me to believe she killed Mcnair shooting him twice in the head and chest and then shot herself in the head.
Stylista KT at the crime scene.
Sahel at age 20, was a child, and working at local restaurant Dave N Buster's. I just can't believe McNair went this way and he even had her name registered on a 2007 black Cadilliac Escalade. We don't know much about her, but according to her ex-boyfriend of 4 years she was raised by her sister in Florida and her mother died when she was 9. ( This says a lot she was probably a little lost with not having a mother figure to mold and guide her)
When I think of Steve McNair, I think of him as a leader, man of the community, and the Titan hero who went through numerous injuries and made history as a top Black quarterback drafted in 1995. I just wonder what really went down..We will continue to various stories, but sad to say the truth will not be told b/c the DEAD can't speak. I was watching the news earlier today and they stated that the two were out the night before at Blue Lagoon a restaurant here in Nashville, TN. I'm really sad for the families involved here. Especially, Mechelle and his four sons ranging in age from 4-17.
God Bless the families and give them strength in this difficult times!

PRESIDENT OBAMA TALKS ABOUT OUR KING OF POP
I'm stilling missing MJ. I went and registered yesterday for the memorial service. If i get the tickets I'm rising to the occasion to see this great legend! If i don't get the tickets I guess I will catch on local stations. See here.
SO MY 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND STARTS EARLY YAY! I'M OFF TODAY THANK GOD! There's still so much going around with Michael Jackson after his death. It's sad that it has to be like this. Everytime I turn on the TV there's some new twist with who will get custody of kids, estate, money, and funeral arrangements to come. Word is the funeral will be Tuesday July 7,2009 at the Staples Center. I know this is never going to end unfortunately b/c we all know how the media aims to drag him down and bring up all the negativity. Personally, I believe they should definitely work on demonstrating more RESPECT and LOVE for him, I mean just think if it wasn't for MJ a lot of opportunities for minorities in the music industry would not exist. Just an example, he was the first African American to crossover MTV with his videos and performances. There's so much that can be said about what Michael has contributed to us. His older brother Jermaine Jackson did a great job in his recent interview on the Today Show. Take a look for yourself.. he describes Michael Jackson as Allajah.. here him out in detail. Also, watch the next video I have which is a tour of Neverland...
THE MADNESS GETS EVEN CRAZIER TODAY WORD IS THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOTTERY DRAWING FOR FANS TO ATTEND MJ'S MEMORIAL..WOW! I DON'T BELIEVE IT.. READ HERE.
Here is footage of the King of Pop's two days before he died ... He looked as though he was normal and he was perfecting his rountines for the upcoming tour..

This is my first time attempting to actually host my own personal blog and not being on the work clock. (lol) This vision was given to me when I heard a word from my Bishop Joseph Warren Walker III, " No Baggage No Limit! I'm thankful for the CONFIRMATION and BLESSINGS GOD HAS PUT INTO ME. I'm ready to let my bright light shine in 2009! As the late Ebony founder and personal inspiration John H. Johnson one said, "Failure is a word I don't accept." (I love that quote so much that it is my motto on life.)
Im ready to deal my own cards in 2009 and play my cards right. I will focus on the things that are interesting subject matters and feelings I have on entertainment, music, sports, FASHIONs, and any other areas that stimulate my brain.
