Random thought..

I swear I need more musical friends than just the Glee kids.....

I'm Baaaack!!!

In the famous words of "Varnell Hill"....... "DID YOU MISS ME?"

I have lots of good stuff coming your way!

2009 VMA Awards

The Michael Jackson tribute was great. Madonna shared a touching story before she announced the tribute. I'm almost certain the dancers were from his "This Is It Tour". The dance moves were on point except for the one dancer who missed his "lean" at the end of the performance. It's all good only millions of people saw it. :)
I must admit I was still hoping Chris Brown was gonna be a part of it. Janet did a fantstic job. I thought it was pretty cool how they took her out the scream video and she performed the moves with Mike on the stage. Laurie Ann I saw you! "Boom-Kack!"

Kanye did another bitch-ass move. This time he disrespected Taylor Swift. Some fool let him on the stage and he jacked her mic to say that Beyonce's video was better. SMH. Taylor Swift looked so sad and lost. Her moment in the sun was ruined by this arrogant dude. There is a part of me that hopes that this stunt was set up by MTV. I can only imagine how her true fans and family felt. Everytime Kanye's name was mentioned all you could hear was booing from the crowd. That's what his dumb ass gets.

Wale did his thing with the house band. He is definitely putting DC on the map again. Yep, I said again. Don't forget about "Questionmark Asylum".

Pink is one bad chick! She arrived to the awards on a firetruck and later performed while flying in the air! Nuff said. She is definitely a true friend in my head.

Tippy enjoyed "7 Pounds"

I am glad that I had the chance to check out this film. If you are an avid movie watcher, (you know I am) then put this flick on your list to go see. I won't write too much because I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

Will Smith stars as Ben Thomas, a suicidal IRS agent with a fateful secret. He will change the lives of seven strangers.

Also in the film are Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson, and Michael Ealy. Will Smith handpicked Ealy for the role of the main character's young brother. Connor Cruise, the 13-year-old adopted son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, was cast in his first role as a younger version of Ben Thomas.

Will did his "thang" in this movie. This could have been a silent film and I would have understood his pain just from looking at his face. So impressed!

Make sure you have your popcorn and candy ready (I had jellybeans) because with this flick, you really need to pay attention. If you are not careful, you will get lost. It may not be the merriest movie for the holiday season but it will have you thinking.

7 pounds will be released tomorrow at a theater near you!

"Intuition" much better than "Unpredictable"

In 1994 Jamie released his first CD entitled "Peep This". The CD was great and probably one of the most slept on. After making me wait for almost ten years, he puts out "Unpredictable". What a let down that was. (Well at least for me it was.) I wanted to hear Jamie sing. Really sing. What I got was Jamie imitating Tank. I hated it.

When I found out Jamie was back in the studio, I could care less. Yeah, he's an excellent actor and comedian but I was no longer interested in him singing if he was not going to showcase his voice. Reluctantly, I listened to "Intuition". He automatically got a gold star from me because I did not hear one Tank-influenced song!!

The first single "Just Like Me" reminds me of "Touch my Body" and that Nelly song he did with Kelly Rowland. Cute song, but I love the video. Taraji Henson was a good choice for the leading lady.

I like 9 out of 15 songs. These days that is a rarity. "Why" is a stand out song as well as "I Don't Know" it has a Marvin Gaye feel to it. Shika would really like that one.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I like "Intuition much better than Unpredictable".

I don't understand.......

Is that Quincy Jones in the new Jimmy Choo ad? Someone help me. I'm not sure of the connection.

Tippy's Book Club

Great Book! I was captivated for 3 hours. Antoinette did such a wonderful job that I could not put it down. I recommend this book to women aged 18 and up.

You can order this book from Amazon.com. This would make a great gift for the young female who may be heading down the wrong path. She will enjoy the book so much she may not even realize that she is being ministered to.

American Music Awards

I really don't know what to say about the show....It was decent at best. I spent a lot of time forwarding through majority of the show.

Neyo's performance was okay. The best aspect was the live horns. The horns made "Miss Independent" sound better than the original version.

As usual Kanye West wanted to stir up something. This fool said he wants to be Elvis.

Annie Lennox received the "Award of Merit." She is still looking good. I'm sure you remember Eurythmics. I loved almost every song. That was when MTV only played music videos.

My personal disdain for Alicia Keys almost made me miss Queen Latifah's performance. What a surprise! She looks just as good as she sounds. She was definitely on point even though her mic was not on at first. Her glam squad put in work and it paid off tremendously! Love it! Can't forget Kathleen Battle, her voice is amazing.
Overall the performance with all three women was excellent. They performed Alicia's version of Superwoman.

My girl Pink did a great job last night. She looked great too. She performed twice. One solo and the other a duet with Sarah McLachlan. The duet was beautiful, it gave Pink a chance to showcase her voice to those who do not that she can blow. The only drawback to the song is that I kept thinking about the abused animals in the world.

(Sarah's song "Angel" is featured in an ASPCA commercial)

What's up with Tocarra? Was she trying to channel Lucy Ricardo? I am not feeling that look.

It is 3:30am and I'm just getting ready to watch the AMA's. (DVR=great invention) For those that know me, I LOVE watching award shows. For some reason this one slipped my mind. Thank you Shika for sending me a text and reminding me. The award shows have not been the greatest lately. I wonder if there will be anything on the show worth me writing about. Stay tuned.

I miss Ne Ne already! ATL Housewives-The season is over

Ne Ne is my favorite housewife!

Did you know about this???

I was watching an episode of CSI: NY and learned something new. One of the clues to solve a crime was a partial "qr code". They showed how to use a qr code enabled cell phone to unscramble the code. The code is linked to a specific website. Ok, maybe I am not explaining this well.

Check out the source.http://www.uberreview.com/2008/03/quick-response-codes-testing-in-sf.htm

I also found this definition....A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The "QR" is derived from "Quick Response", as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in Japan, where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional codes.

Single Man dances to SINGLE LADIES

I know this video has been around for a month. I also know that it has been on TMZ. I just can't get enough of it! Mr. Shane is doing his thing.

Shane is the "fierce" one.

Today is my Mommy's Birthday
