Here are some pics from Jordan Sparks‘ visit to fuse’s “The Sauce.” She is a great singer and I hope she goes far.

This is one of the reasons why Black women are look upon as chicken heads cuz of chicks like these….

Looks like Beyonce got tired of Solange and Tina fugging up her money, so now she is appearing in House of Dereon ads again. With Rih Rih the new “It” girl, Bey has to stay relevant.

from CNN.com:

New Orleans, Louisiana (CNN) — The annual State of the Black Union forum boasted a number of famous attendees in New Orleans on Saturday, but this year’s event received much more attention for who wasn’t there.

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, was the only major presidential candidate to accept an invitation to attend.

Her rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, declined, as did Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

Clinton told the crowd Saturday evening the country stands at a historic moment.

“How many of our parents and our grandparents, and how many of us ever thought we would see the day when a woman or an African-American would be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States,” she said.

But Clinton also acknowledged experiencing “painful moments” during the campaign, which she called very challenging and incredibly competitive.

“The high stakes and historic nature of Sen. Obama’s candidacy and mine have invested this campaign with an intensity and an excitement seldom seen in the political arena,” she said.

Meanwhile, Obama’s absence at the forum has prompted both controversy and a backlash against Tavis Smiley, the organizer of the event who has openly criticized Obama’s decision.

In a letter to Smiley earlier this month, Obama commended the forum for addressing important issues, but explained he needed to focus on his presidential run ahead of the critical March 4 primaries.

Last week I wrote a post on a dance crew’s choice of fits. My soRHOr, GoldenRho4, let me know that it was not LIve in Color who chose their fits, it was the producers of the show. She also wrote that Terry Shakelford is a student at an HBCU and should know that it is a NO NO for a nonmember to wear a fraternity/sorority’s letters. 

While I was getting ready for work, I was able to watch the first 5 minutes of the episode I mentioned. I have posted the video for those who have not seen it. (I have posted another video that shows the whole performance, sorry for the inconvenience.)

If you are a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. and you are just as offended as I am, please email me and let me know if you are willing to sign a petition to MTV asking for a public letter of apology.
