DIDDY & KIM BACK TOGETHER???

Ooohhh looks like there may be a reconciliation between Diddy and Kim in the near future. Or maybe is was just a booty call. Whatever the case...Kim was spotted being rushed by Diddy's security to his hotel room at the Las Vegas Bellagio Hotel & Casino. Diddy was seen by a hotel employee going up to his room at about 3am and spent the rest of the night with Kim. Hmm hmm hmmmm....

Thats all to report for now....

KIMORA GETS RUSSELL SIMMONS FIRED?!?!

OHHH SNAAPPPP!!! Looks like things are heating up in the divorce battle between Kimora and soon to be ex-husband Russell Simmons. Turns out Kimora was being promoted to creative director earlier this week to all of Phat Fashions and would have been reporting directly to Russell. She told Phat Fashions that either Russell goes or she goes. And if you haven't already heard, Russell has been asked to leave the company. Money talks and since Baby Phat is bringing in the the major mula these days they had no problem making their choice between Kimora and Russell. Such a damn shame...the man who started Phat Farm 15 years ago given the boot. Russell was the one who GAVE Kimora Baby Phat and now he isn't a part of the brands he created...karma is a bitch and Kimora will get hers!!

AMY WINEHOUSE WEARING GREEK LETTERS?!

As being "Greek" myself, and when I say "Greek" I mean belonging to a sorority or fraternity, I found this very interesting while reading up on one of my fave blogs. Amy Winehouse wearing a t-shirt with the 4 historically Black Sororities. My thought was, "hey, she gets the importance of these organizations for the Black community." It's clear to all of us Sisters, whether Sigma Gamma Rho, AKA, DST or ZPhiB, that Amy Winehouse is not a member of our orgs and just because she's rockin the shirt doesn't mean that she is. It's not like she's showing up at our Nationals rocking it. For me it's a sign of respect from the world reknown Brit singer. The t-shirt does say "Moments of Greatness." It's about time white America started recognizing some important pieces of our culture dating back to 1906. It's irrelevant that she's now in rehab! lol

What do u think?

NBA'S EDDIE GRIFFIN DIES IN CAR ACCIDENT

Eddie Griffin dies at 25 in a car accident on August 17. At about 1:30 am Griffin ignored a train crossing warning sign and was struck by the oncoming train. His body was so badly burned dental records were needed to identify the victim. Griffin had a history of alcohol abuse and was in a car accident in 2006 while driving intoxicated. So sad another life lost due to alcohol.





From ESPN.com...

"Everybody tried to help him from the top to the bottom of the organization," said [Coach Dwane] Casey, who coached Griffin for 1½ seasons. "He just couldn't get it straight. It's a tragic ending for a beautiful kid. He had a beautiful heart."

MARIAH CAREY NAKED...WELL SORTA!

Attention seeking Mimi is at it again. Seems like we'll never have the diva from the "Vision of Love" days...different (def not new) diva...not so improved!

CAPTION THIS....
