I was in Borders today and in the UK, the latest issue of ESSENCE is the one with Nia Long on the cover. There was an interesting roundtable discussion which included Solo Knowles, Nia of course and the stunning Tanika Ray, as well as Mikki Taylor, Tonya Lewis, Ursula Stephens... [view entry]

Okies, this video is sliced into three parts for this review. Good: I like the song, and as usual, the video has warmed me up even more to the song. It has a slight hypnotic tone to it. I can imagine it being played in secret dens and lairs, where... [view entry]

Images: CL & Necole Bitchie These are promo shots for Teyana’s new lip gloss line, called Dope or something Dope. The name sounds really knobbish to me lol. I think Teyana is a pretty girl… but boo and hiss to her big gorgeous Afro which is now no more. And... [view entry]
