“A Diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla”–
Oh Wait 
This was shot by famed ATL photographer Freddy O at the W Hotel last week.
I can see Mama Knowles giving the side eye as we speak… These men in drag trying to be Beyonce is one trend I will be glad to see go in 09.’
Rihanna will headline the biggest concert of the year, just days before the superbowl. In a musical extravaganza that has become as common as the game itself, Rihanna will headline the NFL Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Bash. She will be accompanied by Fall Out Boy and Lifehouse.
The special will air live on VH1 on Thursday, January 29 at 9 p.m. EST.
Jerry O’Connell will host the star-studded concert. I look forward to seeing Ms. Fenty do her thing.
This certainly is not the way to ring in the new year:
As reported by Trinidad and Tobago’s newspaper Newsday, actress and rapper/singer Queen Latifah was robbed out of close to $10,000 worth of jewelry this week in Tobago’s Stone Haven Villas.
Consisting of a bracelet, two gold rings, a gold chain and a silver ring, the $10,000 worth of jewelry was discovered missing on Monday (December 29).
In Tobago to celebrate the holidays, the 35-year-old discovered her jewelry was missing shortly after attending a barbeque brunch held in her honor. A search was conducted, but police were eventually called in once the jewelry could not
located.
This is without a doubt an inside job. This certainly illustrates how hard times are for people because Queen Latifah is one of several celebrities who have been victims of theft recently, in particular, theft of jewelry.
I guess her new years resolution is to keep the bling at the house.
LOL- Quit all that runny Weezy:
Beyonce and Jay Z are relaxing their way into 2009. After chilling at Nikki Beach in Miami, the two headed for St. Barts for their ritual of boating.
While there are no pictures (as of now) of Mrs. Carter jumping off the boat, she did partake in a few water sports. After Jet Skiing in the warm West Indies water she took to a trampoline to have some fun.
This is how you are suppose to do it, work hard and play hard. They both look happy; Happy New Year to the Carter’s.

There goes your chance of running for governor…
Charles Barkley was arrested on suspicion of DUI early this morning in Arizona. Barkley was arrested by the Gilbert Police Department at a DUI checkpoint and had his blood tested on scene by a mobile DUI task force. He was released a short time later and took a taxi home.
You know what, I take that back, I think it is a requirement that you do something stupid, and even better if you get arrested– He will win the Governorship with ease– God Bless America!!!
At The Kennedy Center Honors:
Vanity Fair’s February Issue features a very interesting article called, “Oral History of the Bush White House” and an aide compared George W. Bush and Gov. Sarah Palin:
We had this confluence of characters–and I use that term very carefully–that included people like Powell, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, and so forth, which allowed one perception to be “the dream team.” It allowed everybody to believe that this Sarah Palin-like president–because, let’s face it, that’s what he was–was going to be protected by this national- security elite, tested in the cauldrons of fire. What in effect happened was that a very astute, probably the most astute, bureaucratic entrepreneur I’ve ever run into in my life became the vice president of the United States.
Could not agree more!! Can you imagine the sort of stories we will begin to hear on 01/21/2009. This is just the tip of the iceberg, and the self preservation and contrition has only just begun. A nation that elected GWB (twice!) is capable of doing something like this again.
So Alaska and the GOP, idolize Goddess Sarah all you want. Fawn over her rambling statements, embrace her ignorance, be uplifted by her Machiavellian philosophy and lack of ethics, revel in her right-wing social extremism and moral self-righteousness, just keep her the hell away from the lower 48.
