A NOTORIOUS FRIDAY!



RIP AALIYAH 1/16/79









GOOD FRIDAY! TGIF..so its an ICE COLD, freezing Friday for us Tennesseans. It's a chilly 15 degrees in Nashville, TN. Hopefully, many you were granted your wish and given this day off. I'm in the house today and it feels good to be inside and in chill mode for a change. This week has been a busy one for me as always..because I always have something to do. I finished my grad application to Vanderbilt which was a big sigh of relief after I was done. Now, I just have to practice PATIENCE! (Something I have little of, but I'm working hard at it.) I have noticed a lot of things going on around us today so let's get it shaking..


FIRST OFF YESTERDAY EVENING WAS CRAZY I KNOW YOU ALL HEARD ABOUT THIS PLANE CRASHING IN THE HUDSON RIVER.. I'M SO GLAD EVERYONE MADE IT OUT SAFELY..GOD WAS TRULY THE PILOT OF THAT PLANE..TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PASSENGER'S INTERVIEW..




Schwartz THROWS UP THE DUECES!

FORMER TITANS defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz


Football has been a sensitive topic for me for the past two weeks, since my Titans lost..(gave away a win to Baltimore Ravens) but I'm finally ready to talk about football again in a sense. Well it's really no surprise to me but we are losing yet another coach on the Titans team. Jim Schartwz defensive coordinator has thrown up the dueces to the Titans and will MOVE ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS AS HEAD COACH FOR THE DETROIT LIONS! We are truly going to miss him, but you just can't blame him for leaving can you? Well whomwever takes his position has great shoes to fill..word is Titans assistant head coach/linebacker Dave McGinnis is in first place to take this job head on.


SOUTHERN LIVING MENTION


Southern LIVING magazine mentioned Green Hills mall as the seventh best neighborhood for shopping in it's top 10 list for best shopping neighborhoods( this issue is available on stands now). I guess this is because it the only mall we have here in Nashville with the big name designers like Bulberry, Juicy Couture,BEBE, Tiffany & Co. and BCBG to name a few. As an avid shopper, I think we need more malls like they have in other major cities like NY, LA, ATL,MIAMI, ETC. which offer a wide variety for shoppers like myself. I'm still waiting for them to get an Urban Outfitters around here, ALDO and FRIEDMAN shoe store...WHY IS IT WE ARE SO SLOW AT GETTING EVERYTHING??!!!..( It's like we get overlooked on shopping, music, and entertainment)

KEEP THE FAITH




Faith Evans delivers her new book out in stores today called, "Keep the Faith." It is a memoir that reveals her true life encounters through her troubled marriage with Biggie, her encounters with the Queen Bee, and her take on the Tupac scandal we have all heard so much about. I can't wait to get my hands on this and read it...I guess Faith will be rolling in the dough with this book and the new movie Notorious which is in theaters today. HERE'S A LIL TASTE OF THE BOOK..seems really good just from the excerpt. I'm definitely going to read it.

AN EXCERPT FROM FAITH EVANS' NEW BOOK, "KEEP THE FAITH"-TAKEN FROM NEWSDAY
I don't know what got into my head. But I decided that I needed to know once and for all what Big was really trying to do. On that night before Christmas, I drove to Big's house on a mission to find out where I really stood.
The security guard at the gate just waved me in when I pulled up. It was Christmas Eve and she'd seen me come into the complex with the kids, so I guess she didn't think anything of it.
I parked in the rear of Big's town house and walked up to the garage. It was locked. I hadn't been over to Big's house a whole lot but I did know that you could jiggle the garage door a certain way and unlock it.
I got into the garage, where there was an elevator that would take me to both floors of Big's duplex. There I was, rocking a black skully cap and a heavy goose-down jacket, tiptoeing into the elevator and pressing the button to go up to the second floor, where his bedroom was located.
I can't believe how bold I was. I knew all his boys were probably there. And anyone in there could have shot me on sight, thinking I was an intruder. I moved slowly, tiptoeing through the house silently.
I got to Big's bedroom door, turned the knob, and went inside. As soon as I saw a small lump next to Big's large frame, I flew into a rage, ran over to the side of the bed, and pulled back the covers. I grabbed some chick out of the bed and started beating her a--. At some point, the chick's wig came off in my hand: It was a short, cropped wig. I stopped throwing punches for a minute to get a good look at the chick I was beating up. It Lil' Kim. She was completely butt-naked, yelling as I pushed her around the room.
"So you're not f---ing her, right?" I screamed at Big. "Yeah, you not messing with her anymore right?"
When they heard the commotion, Cease, D-Roc, and Gutter came running into the room.
"Oh s---!" they yelled in unison. "It's Faye! How the hell she get in here?"
Big sat up in bed and pointed at Kim, who was standing in a corner of the room, trying to cover her naked body with her hands and while I was still yelling at Big.
"Yo, get her outta here," Big said. They led Kim out of the room and she screamed and cursed the whole way.


NOTORIOUS

TODAY IS NOTORIOUS BIG DAY! I don't know if I will make it to see this movie this weekend, but I encourage everyone to support this project if your looking for something to see in the movies this weekend. I just hope this isn't made like your typical hip hop movies, BUT MORE THAN LIKELY IT WILL BE. I agree with Lil Kim though..the girl Playing her role is the old member from 3LW NATURI and she looks nothing like Lil Kim, sorry to bust whomever's bubble..at any rate here's a clip from the movie to get you HYPED UP!( LOL)





BEYONCE TO SING FOR THE OBAMAS AT NEIGHBORHOOD BALL



According to MTV, Beyonce has won perhaps one of her biggest honors thus far.. she has been selected to serenade the Obamas first dance at their first inaugural ball. NO Word yet on the name of the song..but more than likely it will be a MOTOWN hit. In addition, here is a line up of other artists who will be there..Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, as well as Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Sting, Faith Hill, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, Maroon 5and a DJ set by Nick Cannon. Among the presenters at the ball, which will be telecast by ABC, are Denzel Washington, Jessica Alba, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ray Romano, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah and Kate Walsh.

HOUSEWIVE OF ATL NENE KICKED OUT

LOUDMOUTH Atlanta housewive NeNe was recently, evicted from her 5,000-square-foot home at 1765 Silvermere Court in Duluth,GA. They moved September 14,2008 according to AJC, and they could no longer afford the home. So sad.. I watched this show every week and she was always the main one talking about how her husband made all this money and she was so happy to have him in her life. So why was he $6,240 behind in rent. I guess he wasn't making to much money or else they wouldn't be in this predicament.. You reap what you sow..I guess her rotten attitude towards Sheree and Kim came back to bite her in her A*S!.. NENE and her husband Greg better start making some hats..and get him to model them. (LOL)

SEE THIS CLIP IF YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE SHOW..HILARIOUS



I'M SIGNING OFF! EVERYONE HAVE A SAFE, WARM AND PRODUCTIVE WEEKEND!

Obama moves up,Swayze fights,and Snoop contributes to the kids



Good morning everybody! I'm excited to deliver some good news today and give you a bit of my mindset today. On a personal note, today has been a cold day for me. I'm recovering from a crazy night, but nevertheless I PROGRESS and MOVE FORWARD to deliver DIVA AVENUE to you!


MOVING ON UP!

5 DAYS AND COUNTING! We are getting closer to the big day. Obama will be sworn into office next Tuesday Jan. 20, 2009. Are you ready..I sure am! He has come a mighty long way..MSNBC reported Obama had broke bread last night by having dinner with the conservatives who we all know are the enemy. Big ups to Obama for being the bigger man in this case.




NO KELLOGG CRACKERS

PUT A HALT ON EATING Austin- and Keebler-branded sandwich crackers!! ( I KNOW IT'S HARD BUT YOU DO WANNA LIVE DON'T YOU!) CNN has reported Toasted peanut butter sandwich crackers,Peanut butter and jelly sandwich crackers, Cheese and peanut butter sandwich crackers, and Peanut butter-chocolate sandwich crackers are filled with salmonella.The recent outbreak has affected at least 434 people in 43 states.

I know I love my Peanut butter sandwich crackers when I'm breaking throughout the day,but I'm not going to risk it and you shouldn't either. Keep the word going people.


PATRICK SWAYZE FIGHTS THE BATTLE

I know it's been a while since I mentioned the Today Show so I actually got a sample of the show today when they were talking about Patrick Swayze, whom is fighting pancreatic cancer and has pneumonia.

It seems like yesterday, I was just watching him move so smooth and effortlessly in his famous movie Dirty Dancing. It's sad to hear that he is fighting this battle with cancer and all the nasty rumors people spread. On the show, they stated that he is holding up longer than the average person who fights the disease.( I will definitely be keeping him in prayers..CANCER IS A HARD DISEASE TO DEAL WITH.) On a more positive note, Mr. Swayze is still pursuing his love of acting with a new show that airs on A&E called The Beast, where he plays a veteran FBI agent.

Footage from The Today Show:



Snoop Bowl VII





For those of you who are planning to head to the Super Bowl or be in Tampa that weekend you should definitely check out the Snoop Bowl VII. Snoop Bowl VII is hosted by Capture Entertainment and Productions, and kicks off January 31, 2009 at 1:00 PM in Tampa at Gaither High School.Snoop is contributing to his community and help impact the lives of kids with his Snoop Football League. The players range from age 7-13.

The Snoop Dogg football league has been in effect for about 7 years and been successful in raising over $50,000 towards charities.It is good to put your money towards a positive movement, especially when children are involved. Even if you can't make it to the event you can still donate to the youth football team by clicking here. Your efforts would benefit the following charities:the Mike Alstott Family Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters, The Children’s Cancer Center and All Sports Community Service and many others.

Snoop speaks about his team on Fatherhood







CHECK OUT THIS NEW SNOOP VIDEO FEAT. HIS SON SPANK AND THE FATHERHOOD FAMILY..SPANK DID HIS THANG!


"Staxxx In My Jeans" Snoop Dogg Ft. Rook and The Father Hood Family from CashmereAgency on Vimeo


CONSERVING HEAT ON A BUDGET

This is my tip of the day.Now I know we can all benefit from this. I came across a list of things that will help cut corners and conserve HEAT with the cold unpredictable winter weather on the way. Here's a list courtesy of (YES U GUESSED IT!) The Today Show:

*Install a programmable thermostat **CHECK THIS ARE GREAT**
*Install a high-efficiency furnace or boiler
*Add weather stripping around windows and doors (alternative old towels)
*Use portable electric heaters in colder rooms ***THIS IS ONE I DEFINITELY USE
*Use less energy to heat your water


Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to show some love by leaving me some comments. Peace and Blessings! Stylista KT signing off!

GET OVER THE HUMP...









Hump Day is here..Yes people it's only Wednesday...only a few more days to go, in order to get you over this hump, I figured I would mix it up a bit today. We will start off today with some things I feel you should know on the health tip, but of course by now, you know I'm a music head and reality junkie so I came across some new topics to deliver to you in that department as well. ( Yes, I'm strong enough to admit it..I love the HILLS, THE CITY, BROMANCE ANTM,and KEYSHIA COLES) And a lil news along the way.


Many of my loved ones, sorors, and friends have expressed to me that you are trying to be healthy and get your own workout plan into action. I need to be aboard this boat as well..I have spurts where I will try to eat healthy and exercise, but let's be real those who know me recognize STYLISTAKT LOVES TO EAT whatever she likes! Like right now, as I'm writing this I'm thinking chicken fajitas with rice and salsa..(YUMMY!) OKAY I'M BACK.. so today I wanted to take the time to provide some information on the health side of things..



Here is a guide I found that helps walk you through the steps to moving towards a healthier diet. Take a look
click here.


WANNA GET BARACK FIT?!!? ..HERE'S HOW WATCH CLOSELY





Now that you figured out the steps..got inspiration from Obama..why not try this quick and easy healthy meal.

Thai Salmon...Click here for recipe.



BONUS FOR EATING HEALTHY ( Remember you seen it here first!)

I read a story recently, where IBM is actually paying its employees extra money to eat healthy. Wow?! Now if that isn't motivation, I don't know what is. Can you imagine how many of us would actually shed the lbs. if we had to keep a log at work of everything we eat?.. Don't believe me well click here.



ENTERTAINMENT..

NEW RAPPER REALITY SHOWS









RAPPER TI AND OUR VERY OWN YOUNG BUCK HAVE NEW SHOWS in the mix for MTV AND BET. Rapper TI's show called Road to Redemption, will highlight the 1,000 hours of community service and let you walk through his last days as a free man before he goes to jail, on March 27, 2009 to serve his one year sentence. (They started filming the show in June and will continue to film until he signs off to do his time.) TI is heading to jail for buying weapons and having them in his home in 2007. Recall, he was set up by his bodyguard. So sad! :( Make sure you tune in and watch TI (CLIFFORD HARRIS) on MTV Feb. 10 .








Nashville rapper Buck also has a show Played by Fame, which sounds like it is along the lines of Ashton Kutcher.. the whole idea of this show is for musicians and actors to play pranks on their fans. I also hear Ludacris and Bobby Valentino will be on the line up. ( I just hope I don't get on this show.. I would be sad if someone played prank on me with Snoop lol) You can catch this show on BET Jan. 30 at 9 p.m.





SINCE we on rappers right now listen to this verse Weezy dropped..i think he's taking a crack at 50 Cent..what do you think?






SPORT BIT OF THE DAY

Okay so i know all of you have heard that Charles Barkley got arrested for a DUI during the holidays. He was arrested for driving drunk on Dec. 31 and he actually tested an alcohol level of .149, (sigh when are we going to learn just stay where you are or get a sober designated driver..i mean your rich how hard is that?) which was 2 times over the Arizona limit.

So of course now he's taking a leave of absence from his analyst position..see where ALCOHOL GETS U..just a BAD DECISION ALL TOGETHER..now this man may lose his gig..guess he better get to praticing his stroke in golfing..(lol)



Moving right along on a more positive tip for ALL OF US THAT ARE YAHOO! USERS ( I KNOW I AM!) there is a new face you should know about that is running your EMAILS, CHAT ROOMS, and yahoo searches .. her name is CAROL BARTZ and she took on the role effective Tuesday as CEO for Yahoo. She became well known for her successes with her prior company Autodesk and it will be interesting to see if she can improve Yahoo and its numbers.

NOW SINCE IT'S WEDNESDAY I FIGURED I WOULD LEAVE YOU SOME WORDS OF WISDOM and ENCOURAGEMENT FROM ONE OF MY GREAT INSPIRATIONS BISHOP JOSEPH WARREN WALKER, III.. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK...

AHHH.. THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES!



EVA AND LANCE..I KNOW THEY WILL HAVE BEAUTIFUL KIDS!



A FRIENDLY OBAMA COMPANION

So today, I heard Obama has narrowed down his choice for the FIRST pet of the house. Recall, his 10 year old daughter Malia is allergic to dogs..so this was a hard choice to narrow it down..but we know DADDYS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BREAK THEIR PROMISES (LOL) The TODAY SHOW, reported he promised the girls a dog if he won..so DRUMROLL PLEASE... THE 2 BREEDS to consider are the Portuguese Water Hound and Labradoodle.

Isn't it ironic, that both of this types of dogs are rare breeds you would never think of. I guess we will find out soon enough the lucky dog that gets to wack his tail into the WHITE HOUSE.

President Bush will carry out the request for funds, however it will not be available until Inauguration Day **JANUARY 20,2008.*** SO MARK YOUR CALENDAR EVERYBODY. In addition, I would like to add that Barack Obama has decided Rev.

It's almost that time again..get ready to experience loads of laughs, wild costumes, screeching voices, special serenades, pop, rock, country, and R& B music as American Idol moves into its eighth season Tuesday on Fox. This year, get ready for a few changes in your American Idol line up. First off, there is a new addition to the judging panel with newcomer Kate DioGuardi, who has wrote hits for Celine Dion, Pink, Christina Aguilera and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson. There will be 36 semi-finalists vs 24 they allowed in the past. Also, there will be more emphasis on the emotions of the contestants. ( As if this is really needed? I always feel like they GO WAY OVERBOARD with some of this contestants stories.) We will find out soon enough if the new formula stirs up the TV ratings and viewer audience.




Since we are on American Idol.. Did you know that Fantasia Barrino was in jeopardy of losing her $1.1 million dollar home in Charlotte, NC ? ( I mean I don't get how celebs don't keep up with their homes..do they think these homes are free?)Luckily, she got her an attorney Larry Goldman to step in and make a good deal because the Mecklenberg County Sheriff office was ready to step in today to sell the home.



JILL SCOTT IS PREGGARS




Blessings, Love and a Shout out to Grammy award winner and Neo-soul songtress Jill Scott who is expecting her first child with her drummer boyfriend Lil John.

SATURDAY ROUND-UP

SATURDAY ROUND-UP


It's Saturday night, and I have been itching to get to my blog all day. You know how Saturdays are supposed to be the one day where you get to sleep in ( that didn't happen I rose at 8am), eat-drink and be merry, well let's just say that is RARE and I do MEAN RARE OCCASSION for this Stylista. For some reason this Saturday has been extremely LOONNG!!! ( I went to a family funeral today and celebrated the life of a sweet older cousin who was truly an ANGEL..I felt blessed to have known her.. RIP THERESA SAWYERS...and of course after that I SPENT THE DAY AND MOST OF MY NIGHT WITH MY FAMILY!!!) I watched my Titans give away a game. How could they be sooo HEARTLESS?! :(

I KNOW THE TITANS ARE HURTING BAD RIGHT NOW BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE WE HAD A GOOD SEASON OVERRALL..WE JUST NEED TO LEARN HOW TO GET TO THAT MISSING PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.... _ _ P_ _ _OW_! ( wheel of fortune moment..CAN YOU GUESS WHAT IT IS?) MY ? IS WHY DID MR. FISHER NOT GO FOR THE TOUCHDOWN... WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN FIELD GOALS ARE NOT GOING TO WIN ALL OUR GAMES?! SIGH.. (sorry for the caps readers..just a deep subject for me right now)
On the positive side, defense did show up and do a great job!

Okay so today is technically still Saturday.. I know at this rate everyone is ready or preparing to hit the TOWN OR YOU MAY ALREADY BE OWT AT THIS POINT! The saying goes better late than never so.. LET'S GET IT!!! I'M ACTUALLY ABOUT TO HAVE A GIRLS NIGHT OUT WITH PLENTY OF CONVO AND MY LIL GIRLY DRINK ( COSMO IT IS FOR ME!) MAYBE IT WILL HELP MY TITANS BLUES!!!


KANYE'S NEW FOOTWEAR


So tonight, I was just doing my normal surfing and I discovered Mr. Kanye West has a new LOUIS VUITTON SNEAKER. I LOVE HIS SWAG! ( NO ONE ON DA CORNER HAS SWAGGA LIKE WEST! ) As a Diva, I always belief DIFFERENT is the key to making yourself stand among the majority. If you take a look at the shoe it looks like it is a cross between a kwiss and a loafer.
MAYBE this will help those guys who follow hip hop trends to take on a more Classy, Simple, yet CLEAN LOOK!







A Good MAN IS HARD TO FIND

TONIGHT I had the privilege to watch a movie called A Good Man is Hard TO Find. I HAVE TO SAY this was a really good story. I encourage each of you to rent or purchase this movie if you have the opportunity. It covers all the topics A-Z..and it's nice twist at the end. I don't want to give the movie away so here is treat for you.

A quick trailer:







In correlation, to this I wanted to add a REAL HOUSEWIFE OF ATLANTA IN THE MIX. Sheree Whitfield is back in court again trying to suck her ex NFL star husband Bob Whitefield dry. So the story goes, the couple was married for 3 years and then suddenly a divorce was in the air. Sheree was rewarded with a $1.1. million dollar property and $2,142.87 in child support and even half of this man's NFL retirement plan pesos.(They have two children together. I know you guys are reading this and thinking WTF!?) I'm a fan of the show, but I just don't understand why this woman insists that she deserves more money.. HOW COULD SHE BE SO HEARTLESS?.. I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT THE READERS THINK ABOUT THIS? SO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS... COMMENT TIME...



WELL I KNOW, I'M ENDING ON A SHORT NOTE..BUT THE NIGHT IS STILL YOUNG AND I'M HEADING OUT TO PAINT THE CITY WITH MY GIRLS..UNTIL THE BE OWT AND GOD BLESS!

Titans Rule, Michelle Paves the Way, and T.D. Jakes is "Not Easily Broken"...


Are you Ready for Some Football?










GO TITANS GO!!!

By now, we have all been witness to a MIRACLE winning season (13-3-0) with the Tennessee Titans. I for one have enjoyed watching them lead the AFC and make history along the way. (Specifically, I enjoyed the Titans vs. Steelers game.. Since it was the best game of the year and I was a part of the experience..I saw SNOOP DOGG.. And even got to see the Steeler fans eat their towels in disgust.. LOL I mean what more could I ask for?)Is it just me or does it feel like the sports world (announcers, critics, and reporters) are on extra strength HATERADE when it comes to The Titans and Jeff Fisher? I mean when are they going to notice the successful Titan formula: Kerry Collins+ Lendale White+ speedy Chris Johnson + Jevon Kearse+ Bo Scaife+ BULLOCK+ Albert Haynesworth+ Fennigan+ one of the greatest coaches in league that actually has been here for 11 years= 2009 SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS! Yes, you heard it here FIRST!

I’m counting down the hours to see the Titans tear down the Baltimore Ravens and break down their defense. I BELIEVE IN MY TITANS TEAM AND I WILL SEE THEM TEAR DOWN RAY LEWIS! HE WILL BE STOPPED! Be sure to tune in and watch our Titans write a new chapter with a VICTORY over rival Baltimore Ravens!









MICHELLE SETS THE AMERICAN FASHION TREND..


I have noticed all over the news this week, there's been an emphasis on Michelle Obama's style and her impact on fashion trends. It is a breathe of fresh air seeing a strong women of color PAVE THE WAY MOST IMPORTANTLY AS FIRST LADY and seeing her gracing the covers of magazines with her statuesque figure, signature styles, and genuine personality. Moreover, she represents the TALL AMAZON women like myself who are not a size 0, 2, 4!!!... TALL WOMEN WITH CURVES ARE HERE TO STAY..LOOK OUT WORLD!


Take a look at this clip from where else The Today Show...

Not Easily Broken

I encourage everyone to go out and support the new movie based off Bishop T.D. Jakes' book, "Not Easily Broken," the movie is rated PG-13 so it is a great idea for family fun at the movies. It teaches us the promises and values of marriage and relationships.The story may impact those in healthy or broken relationships. In addition, there is a great cast with MORRIS CHESTNUT( Yes, Ladies Chocolate Chestnut!) Taraji Henson ( eye candy for the fellas and be sure to catch her in Benjamin Button that is out already..she should get an Oscar for that role!)

Check out this interview with Morris Chestnut:

GADGETS, Recognition, and A Moment of Silence ...





Hi Everybody! Today has been a busy day for me..Times like this I'm REALLY grateful to have my trusty gadgets. I mean what would I do without my Instinct or my MACBOOK?! I would be one sick and lost puppy. Not that I'm just a TECH JUNKIE..let's just say I fall in the category of "NEW-NEW" ( I rock all the New Stuff that's hot before everyone else usually jumps on the wagon.) I mean come on what else can you expect I'm just Stylista KT.

I remember last year when the Instinct phone was about to come out it was like a big craze with Sprint. They sent me personal emails where you could watch video tutorials(which consumers never watch lol)and then at the store they would have the life-size card board display. Now, after having this phone I can admit it doesn't compare to its AT&T competitor " THE APPLE I-PHONE." Well guess I just have to chalk that purchase up and just be grateful I did the right thing by purchasing my MacBook.


ANYHOW, this morning on "THE TODAY SHOW", a sister couldn't help but notice how fast technology changes with the new and upcoming 2009 gadgets premiering at the International Consumer Electronics Trade Show in Las Vegas.

Click here to see the clip of new gadgets to come:











RECOGNITION


Now you know I just love my award shows, so I sat down and watched some of People's Choice Award show. I don't know how many of you watched it on CBS but here is my brief rundown: My hometown favorite Reese Weatherspoon won Favorite Female Star of the Year, sexy Will Smith Won Best Male Action Actor of the Year (he did his thang in his new movie Seven POUNDS), Ellen DeGeneres took home talk show of the year( I mean who can resist the dance moves and watching Ellen Get low on stage lol) and host Queen Latifiah was rewarded for her role in the The Secret Life of Bees. The top winner was Dark Knight, which in my opinion was ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES IN 2008.
If your curious about the rest of the awards click here.

A MOMENT OF SILENCE...


I couldn't end without mentioning The Travolta FAMILY. PAUSE.. CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE? Rest in Peace Jett Travolta. I can only imagine what today must have been like for this family. My heart and prayers are with you during this HARD SEASON . Death is hard to deal with no matter the circumstance. It is something that seems to be hitting everyone these days. I think that's why its so important to talk to people, live each day to the fullest, tell the person you LOVE THEM, and most importantly getting yourself right with God or whoever you believe in.


Rest in Peace Jett Travolta

NO BAGGAGE..NO LIMIT!

                                                  Photo Credit: Stylista KT


Everyone knows I love ENTERTAINMENT! As the TI song goes, "My Life your Entertainment.."
This morning as web surfed, I noticed  a lot of positive energy in the Hip HOP WORLD. Here's what I found:
Of course, those who know me can understand I have a deep LOVE, ADMIRATION, AND APPRECIATION FOR CORDOZAR CALVIN BROADUS better known to the world as Snoop Dogg.  I'm really proud of  Snoop! I mean he has been doing his thing for  quite some time now and he's a LEGEND. 



Snoop 's comedy filled  ETV reality show "Fatherhood"  highlights the beautiful Broadus family and lets you see another side  of the West Coast rapper as he reveals his life lessons, coaching skills and most importantly family love.  It is touching fans and opening the eyes of viewers worldwide, catch the next episode on ETV Sunday at 10:30/9:30pm.



 

He even is set to reveal his  own personal line of headphones thru Skullcandy for all you beatmakers to bob your heads too.  I just hope you have the Staxx in your Jeans to drop $350 pesos. Skullcandy will have an event in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center on January 27-30 and  word is you can get a sneek peek at this new item and maybe even a glimpse of Snoop.


   


Moving right along,  I couldn't help but notice LiL Wayne on ESPN with Skip yesterday. Is he a good debater?  You be the judge... Check it out this link: Lil Wayne on ESPN 

This is my time for now. More DIVA CORNER to come be on the look OWT! GOD BLESS..feel free to leave me some feedback.
