I don’t usually start with something I hate, but as you’ve surely heard by now hip-hop legend Guru is having serious health issues and is in the hospital after a string of crises involving a heart attack, asthma attack, and coma. As if the unfortunate nature of these events isn’t enough, the internet is abuzz with accusations that his producer Solar (or “Superproducer Solar,” as he prefers to be called) is blocking the family’s access to Guru, didn’t even notify them that he’d been hospitalized for nearly a month before he went into a coma, and is currently making key…

I am a very…I’m just very. V-E-R-Y. And if you can’t handle very, then I’m a douche bag. But I think the world needs a little very. That’s why black people love me. – John Mayer

Very full of crap is what he is. I never liked John Mayer. He’s a sloppy looking guy whose music is the sort they play in nail salons and waiting rooms. While I wasn’t paying attention this dude rose from awkward white kid on the adult contemporary

People always ask me, “Thembi, how do you find this stuff?” Well, this week I’m going to walk you through the process because there is no reason why a perfectly sane woman such as myself should be asking any questions about Corey Johnson. Please bear with me as I take you through the tragically painful journey of discovering all there is to know about this person.

I guess she epitomizes the phrase “one track mind” (pause).

God bless the tenacity of the American spirit and its fruits. Thanks to our universal get-up-and-go, local businesses have been braving the economic downturn by doing whatever it takes to bring customers into stores. The Red House Furniture Store in High Point, NC, is revitalizing the local economy through easy financing, a catchy but cheap commercial, and the freshest concept in furniture sales since the bean bag chair. Picture this: a furniture store for black AND white people. I know what you’re thinking: black people and white people have such different needs when it comes to sofas and…

Hi, my name is Thembi and I’m a VH-1 Celebreality Addict.

Every single time I try to be aware of what’s on television but not get all “involved” I fail miserably. It’s not that I don’t love VH-1 and Viacom networks for their constant pursuit of quality entertainment, especially their meticulous and enlightened choices for pop culture commentators (*wink wink), or that I legitimately care about the pseudo-celebrities on these reality shows. But after watching anywhere from a few minutes to a few episodes of any ridiculous reality show – Flava of Love, Charm School, Celebrity…

white boy for Strong Black Goddess…. – 42

My search may be unusual but it is very serious, real, honest and direct so if You dont think You fit then please dont write back but if You are a Black Goddess interested in acquiring a white boy for Your own benefit and to use as Your personal servant, Your domestik, Your litttle house boy as well as your friend, companion and even partner then please let me know more about You. I am very attracted to open minded, Strong, somewhat agressive…

After the meaningless nonsense of the past few days, in fact, past few years, I’ve finally accepted that Black Love is in a bit of trouble. I ADORE Black Love itself – as corny as it may sound, there’s something so intensely beautiful about the concept that has made me seek it almost exclusively. At my age I’m finally trying to take the idea of settling down seriously, but my usual approach to life has not been cutting the mustard. I’m far from desperate and haven’t had much trouble catching who I want. But I believe in fate, luck…

Call me a poor excuse for a black girl if you like, but I’m finally ready to declare my adoration of hot rednecks. Not rednecks in that string-you-up-in-a-tree-for-drinking-from-the-wrong-fountain way, but in that all-American-tousle-haired-boyish-hunk way. Here are my faves.

How did these two manage to get in a photo together? Shar looks like a kid meeting Santa. I can’t help but take this chance to comment on the ridiculousness of her inclusion on the show “The Ex-Wives Club” when she was never married to K-Fed or anyone else for that matter. Hopefully BET will start a show called the “Baby Mommas Club” where the hosts motivate women by reminding them that they can always keep their baby daddy…
