The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills (One landed in the cuckoos nest!!!)

It should be no surprise to know that I watch every house wives franchise and that includes the real rich b*****s in Beverly Hills.  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills  are a festive bunch of women who sometimes mistake having nice things with having class.

Brandi Glanville

On last weeks episode Brandi Glanville hosted her own housewarming party which was like none I've ever been to, and I mean that in the best way.  It was quite fancy!  She invited a lot of people including her housewives cast mates.  Brandi even invited Lisa Vanderpump.  Lisa turned down the invitation originally because of her an Brandi's broken friendship.  The last time the ladies were together they talked a little and Brandi felt she wanted Lisa to come because she wants Lisa back as a friend.  Anyone who watches the show regularly knows Lisa is not that easy to befriend again!  Once she feels you have crossed her it is a challenge to win her back.  That is why it was shocking to see Lisa show up to Brandi's house and with a gift in hand.  Lisa made it very clear that she was still not fully sure about Brandis intentions and that baby steps might be a start for them if anything.  Brandi being a little aggressive pushes the issue and it isn't hard to tell when Lisa becomes a little annoyed.  The party at Brandi's house was successful and the drama seemed to not be.


When the Ladies got together again for a charity event at PUMP, Lisa's newest restaurant  there was some tension when Brandi was still trying to reach out to Lisa.  Brandi thought it would be funny to extend Lisa an

Lisa Vanderpump

olive branch, but she literally ripped a branch off of the tree in Lisa's establishment.  Lisa was furious, but she laughed it off because she was clearly uncomfortable and did not want to cause a scene at her event.  Brandi invited Lisa to lunch and the two were able to apologize and come to some kind of understanding of their differences.  I think that it is good to see them move forward, but anytime you agree to move forward you should not keep being petty, nor should you be pushy.  Lisa and Brandi are cordial at this point so all seems to be well with the group. 


BUT BRANDI'S WORK IS NEVER DONE

This weeks episode...


Lisa Rinna, Brandi Glanville, Eileen Davidson, and Yolanda Foster are out to dinner together.  They are all enjoying themselves.  Brandi updates the on her lunch with Lisa V and everyone is pleased to here that they seem to be moving forward in a positive manner.  Things didn't get weird until the conversation turned to Eileen talking about how her and her husband met and got together.  Eileen met her husband on the set of Days of our lives which is the show she is on.  Brandi was annoyed because she knew that Eileen and her husband were both married when they got together.

Eileen Davidson

  Eileen explained everything and Brandi appeared to understand and even respect Eileens story, but then I think the wine kicked in.  Brandi got into super fan mode and was obsessing over Eileen begging her to act out a scene from her show.  Eileen was not down for that and dismissed the idea.  Brandi was not happy and after several threats of throwing a drink on Eileen she ACTUALLY DID IT!!!  I think me and everyone else watching are still trying to figure out WHY??  It made no sense.  That chick is looney.  All of the women were shocked.  It was so strange.


The next time Brandi saw Eileen she apologized and gave her a necklace as a peace offering.  They were able to move forward, but Eileen has made it clear that she cannot trust a cuckoo clock!!!  LOL (my words not hers)


 Anywho  all is well that ends well I guess.  Be sure to check out The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Tuesday nights at 9pm on Bravo!

Love & Hip Hop New York (Is there really love in hip hop????)

On last night's episode of Love & Hip Hop New York we got to witness the drama of Cyn and Erica Mena to the extreme, but before I get all the way to it...


Peter Gunz was out to lunch with his sons mother Tara.  They were enjoying some family time and it almost seemed innocent and quite normal even, that is until Peter became very flirtatious with Tara.  Tara seems to be used to Peter's antics at this point however she doesn't do a good job at brushing it off.  It is almost like Peter throws out the line and she immediately takes the bait.  You can tell that she is not over him and when he offered for she and him to go on an island vacation together with their kids, she stupidly obliged!  I am saying that it was stupid for her to agree to such nonsense because the man is married!!  Why bring the unnecessary drama into your life?????  OH YEAH BECAUSE SHE STILL WANTS THE MAN WHO LEFT HER HIGH AND DRY AND MARRIED HIS "ARTIST" AMINA BUDDAFLY.  Tara looks smarter than that, but I don't know if she actually is.

It's no shade to Amina because the man did marry her and she is also carrying his child so she is obviously very relevant in the situation.  Her reality is being checked left and right though, because she is getting the "marriage don't change nothing" blues oh yeah and the "baby won't make him stay" sorrows.  Not saying she deserves any of it, but the signs and red flags were all in her face before she said I do and got knocked up.  When Amina spotted Peter's car she approached him at his lunch with Tara and the kids.  She was very upset because they had plans that same day and he was else where.  Before things could get ugly Peter pulled Amina away from the table and spoke to her privately which made her upset and she sat on the ground crying.  It was surprising to see Tara come and talk to Amina woman to woman.  They had a calm conversation and Tara helped Amina to her car.  I guess the situation is still a bit much for both women, but they seem to be handling it a little better than last season.

DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA unfolded when Erica's bff decided to tell her that he saw Cyn riding around in her car shot gun while another man was driving.  This pissed Erica off and the next time the two met up it was chaos.  Cyn is still accusing Erica of not being faithful and the first time Cyn mentioned it again Erica pulled out the info she recently received and hit Cyn with it.  Cyn was enraged that she was being accused of something after all the BS Erica put her through.  Spit was flying, tables were banged and veins were popping out everywhere!!!! Erica even light weight slapped Cyn in her face.  Cyn was appauled and

Erica yelled "you're dead to me."  JAREBEARSAYS this was clearly a cop out for Erica.  She was already looking for a way out and she found one and used it to her full advantage which shows shes whack for real! Cyn forgave her more than once for different things she has done, yet Cyn is accused of one thing and it is over!!! I CAN'T, I DON'T  and I WON'T deal with this foolery!!!  LOL the mess has gone far enough. Cyn, girrrrlllllll u are better off.  Erica has the most skeleton's in her closet.  We are gonna pray for her mmkay!


Anywho!  I am gonna get back to my day.  There is TV to watch and tweets to tweet.  I will talk to my good people very soon.  Be sure to tell a friend...

You're FIRED!!!

The Celebrity Apprentice aired last night and it started off with a bang!  The teams had to raise money for charity and of course they do that in part by getting their rich friends to donate.

Keshia Knight-Pulliam was the first to go last night.  Donald Trump fired her for not using what everyone

assumes was her biggest resource,  Bill Cosby.  Keshia felt she couldn't reach out to Bill because she hadn't spoken to him in over 5 years.  This was not sitting right with many members on her team including Kenya Moore and Brandi Glanville.

Although Donald and Ivanka respected Keshia for everything she had done she had to go in the end.  Mr. TRUMP was moved by Keshia's involvement with her Charity and personally donated $25,000 of his own money.

The guys team obviously won the first challenge, but not without a little drama of their own! 

Kevin Jonas, Geraldo Rivera, Terrel Owens, and Gilbert Godfrey are just a few of the guys that make up the men's team.

The guys worked hard and raised a lot of money but some fell short in that department.   I think it may have been a lucky day for Terrell because if the guys team would have lost he would have definitely been in the board room fighting for his life.  He only raised $900 which makes me wonder who in the world his friends are!?!?! 

Two new episodes air tonight at 9pm on NBC!  Make sure you tune in!!!

NeNe Leakes...The final curtain call!!! (Take a bow!)

As many may or may not know, Real Housewives of Atlanta veteran Mrs. NeNe Leakes has been spending some time on Broadway.  That is right America!!!  New York City summoned and NeNe answered that call.  She has recently starred as the wicked step mother in Cinderella and she has made a wonderful impression.  I don't know about you guys but I have been saying that NeNe has a voice on her that needs to be heard and although I have not had the chance to see Cinderella myself, I know it had to be an amazing experience for NeNe and her fans alike!


Here are some photo's of NeNe with her wonderful support system!

                    NeNe with RHOA costar/friend Porsha Williams in New York City!

Tamar Braxton, KeKe Palmer & Adrienne Bailon

Whoopi Goldberg is no stranger to Broadway

so it was no surprise to find out

A PITTSBURGH MOMENT!

Sofia Vergara joined her new fiance Joe Manganiello

 in his hometown this past weekend to enjoy some time together and

 also watch the Pittsburgh Steelers play during the NFL playoff season!

The couple's first stop was at Pittsburgh's famous Primanti Bros Restaurant.  Sofia shared this photo on her Instagram where she also

posted the hash tag #Istartdietmonday

If you have never been to Pittsburgh, be sure to stop at Primantis when you get here!!!

Sofia showed her well known comedic side while shopping for Steeler gear

but she made it well known to Joe that she would not be wearing

the hat to Heinz Field!  I think the Chanel bag will do! LOL

It is always fun to see our people who leave the city to become super stars return with so much passion and love.  It is even more fun when they return with fellow super stars by their side!!! Although the Steelers did not win their game against the Ravens WE ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST TO EVER DO IT

Tiny & Shekinah's Weave Trip (Bourbon Street Takeover!!!!)

Tiny and Shekinah have been on a hilarious journey during their Weave Trip.  The ladies have been up to their usual friendly fighting, but have been having an adventure none the less!

Shekinah & Tiny

They have decked out an amazing bus and transformed it into a mobile hair salon.  On last nights episode the duo stopped in Louisiana.  Their main goal was to throw a Mardis Gras party on the historically famous Bourbon Street.  While out dining on some of New Orleans famous beignets, Tiny and Shekinah were recognized by a fun group of girls who were part of a bridal party.  They were happy to meet the girls and even invited the ladies to come and party with them the next day.  What was more exciting for Tiny and Shekinah was the fact that Shekinah had her first opportunity to do some hair on the bus.  Although the women weren't Shekinah's usual clientele,  she was able to style the ladies hair and the clients were very pleased with the outcome.

So far so good Tiny and Shekinah.  This show is giving us more of what we love about these fun loving Divas!!!  Their personalities shine through in an amazing way.  Unlike a lot of other reality stars,  these two best friends are not afraid to be themselves.  They stay true to who they are and find a way not to let the shade of the industry turn them into "fake friends" or even turn them against each other.  There is definitely ratchetness all up in through the show #NoShade  but it is the ratchet that we love!!

JareBearSays that at the end of the day Tiny and Shekinah are proving that the are fabulous business women.  They  are clearly able to work together despite the bumps in the road! #NoPun  I am really enjoying this show.  I laugh more than a little bit every episode.  I'm still hoping to meet my girl Shekinah one day soon, but until then I will continue to follow what I believe is an amazing journey!!

Next Monday an all new episode airs on VH1!  If you haven't watched yet  YOU ARE MISSING OUT
I'll try not to stay away too long.  It's been about a month since my last review.  I have been a little busy.  Thanks to all of my supporters!  Love you guys.  Tell a friend to tell a friend that...

Love & Hip Hop & R 'n' B

THIS SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IS RATCHET

YES I SAID IT...BUT DID I EVEN HAVE TO?????  If you follow me on twitter then you know I was going innnnnnnnnnnnnnn last night!! lol Thanks for all of the favorites and retweets!  I was just saying how I felt!!

If Ray J is responsible for this Hollywood madness then I am not surprised at all.  He is a CORN BALL.com and needs to be addressed as such.  Honestly he has sold out his "homies" by exploiting them on this show.  Even if editing is to blame, when does a person put down their fut to say "no you can not air this mess?"  Besides that why was Ray being such a lil BISSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH to his assistant??  Not to mention him showing up to drop that box of junk of to Teairra!!!  

Speaking of Teairra, which seems to be happening a lot these days!  Is it safe to say that she has found her role as the crazy chick from Love & Hip Hop?  Will her music career officially fade to black???  I would love to ask Teairra some questions so if you are reading this T GET AT ME!!!!

Teairra's drama is being dragged out unnecessarily.  Why do they want to focus on her arguing and fighting with a friend of hers when they KNOW this girl is a talented artist.  She has already proven her self and will now have to keep defending her "craziness" because that is all VH1 will probably show!  Sad I know.  

I have repeatedly said that I don't believe that Omarion and Fizz should have been a part of this show.  They probably would have been better off doing their own thing!  "Love & R'n'B"  #JAREBEARSAIDIT  lol  At least it can be said that their situations seem authentic and they are looking good on camera because they are not putting on for the cameras.  Their stories are real and the are staying true to themselves.  I mean you can't write that shiiiii that Fizz's baby momma is pulling.  That chick is wacked out smh...

Souljah Boy is pitiful.  He shouldn't even have air time.  He does not want to grow up, and while I pray for him, I don't see him growing up any time soon.  Some people just don't have good morals and he seems like one of those people.  I don't know what Nia sees, but guuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllll you need to RUN!  While you are young and have no kids by this dude you need to get far away!!

I used to be a Yung Berg fan, back when he was a rapper.  This guy on tv is not cool.  I mean everyone isn't  going to be an awesome person, but this dude has no respect for women.  He owns it though that's for sure.  He get's real ridiculous on social media with some of the things he says.  Sadly enough he has thousands of followers agreeing with his ways and egging him on.  LADIES if you love yourself DON'T DATE HIM!!!!!

The mess continues to unfold...

I'll keep watching & big shout out to all of you who support JareBearSays!  You guys are AWESOME!

Monday night at 8pm! VH1

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood (Melodramaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood is  two episodes in after last nights show.  Were you watching??  I have to be honest.  I feel like this show is a little weak.  The drama is unfolding, but at what cost??

It seems like friendships are being broken just for camera time and drama!  I mean Ray J's assistant is clearly playing both sides when it comes to her friendship with he and Teairra.  She talked mad mess behind Teairra's back on the first episode.  Then she turns around and calls herself defending her during T's spas out at the RayJ.com party, but turns right around talks mess on her again in the midst of the commotion.   Wait a minute tho...  THEN SHE IS GOIN TO BE BACK TO DEFENDING HER AGAIN WHEN SHE MEETS WITH RAY NEXT EPISODE!!!   Oooool I wish I had emojis on this laptop!!!!  These chicks clearly never were friends.  I think Teairra should see that the assistant chick was only on her team while she was on Ray J's team.  The two girls may have thought they were friends, but they NEVER were and they should just leave it at that.  (Only observations not facts!)


Now for the melodrama.  IF TEAIRRA DOES NOT STOP WITH HER RAH RAH ANTICS!!!  I just feel like if you are tough you don't have to prove it all of the time.  If you are an ass kicker it will show when you kick some ass.  People will begin to recognize that you kick ass and some may fall back and some may kick your ass back! lol I'm just saying.  It seems like in every scene Teairra has to basically make it known "that she ain't the one."  This makes her appear to be somewhat insecure, and somewhat of a bully.

 From the outside looking in however, I see that Teairra may have some serious trust issues, and from the looks of things she may have every right.  It seems like she has been played on all angles from friendships to relationships.  This is what probably makes her lash out.  Now I'm no Psychologist but I can understand when a person feels like they have to be on attack mode because of distrust.  The smart thing would be to remove yourself from the situation rather than lose yourself in it.  JAREBEARSAYS  Teairra's talent cannot be denied, but this show can either hurt or help her career.  It's not looking good tho T.  Leave the heartbreak in the past and move forward boo.  If you are going to use Love & Hip Hop to rebuild your career and fan base, then give these women and girls out here something positive to look to.  We all love a little drama.  That is why we watch, but we also love to see people prosper so get to work!

Fizz is having baby mama drama.  I don't even think it is cool.  I say this because his bm is coo coo!!!  She cannot be concerned about her son.  She is causing unecessary drama all in the name of her son.  She is coming between Fizz's two year relationship.  It is sad to say, but the girl is a mess.  She is not over Fizz and anyone watching knows it.  She still hasn't asked to see her son in all of this, but shes having meetings with the girlfriend.  IS THIS CHICK SERIOUS???  Actions speak LOUD!  How are you calling this girl to a restaurant to sit across from her and call her names.  It was so ratchet.  She doesn't even know Fizz's girl but the girl is raising her child.  Why can't she thank her for being there when she isn't able to be.  For making sure her son gets home from school safely.  I don't get it.  Why make problems where there should be none?  This chick is looney.  That's all there is to that.


Yung Berg is a talented producer... #Thatsall


Souljah Boy...Uggghhhhh I don't even like to say that name.  It's no shade...ok yes it is!  That dude gross's me out.  Anyway...Why is Nia surprised about the info she received about he and Karrine??  You have been dating this dude on and off for 8 years and everything he has done in those years have been the focus of hip hop media.  I mean it's not wrong to feel hopeful that some one can change or be better, but COME ONNNNNNNNN this clown is not that person.  Not at this point in his life anyway.  He was so quick to find the dumbest reason to dismiss her at the studio when she came to talk to him.  It was not hard to see that he knew he was wrong, and chose not to deal with it by making her feel bad about it.    I hate to be negative, but some of these people just take you there!!




All of the artist on the show should rethink their purpose before they continue to down grade themselves.  Reality tv is a fad and can be gone tomorrow like the last big thing.  Will these stars be around after reality tv or will they fade to black... I guess we'll have to wait to see.  I'm not going to go on because there will be more to discuss next week.  So if you didn't get it anywhere else at least you know....

Just wanted to share my #McM which I never do on my blog, but here it is!! I'm sure many will agree :)

Check out Ferras self-titled EP released through Katy Perry's Metamorphosis Music!

Preachers of L.A. (Family First)

I have grown to enjoy this show.  I was hesitant at first because I was't sure of the shows angle.  Were they exploiting the church?  Were they just trying to flash their money???  I even asked if they were really ordained!!!  One thing I did not consider in the beginning was that they were people just like you and I.  Yes guys preachers are people too! lol

Since the show first aired last year I have noticed a lot of viewers have had some of the same feelings I had, and via social media I have also noticed a lot of changes in thoughts and opinions.  I feel like these preachers came to television for a reason.  They want to spread the news about God and they want to show their lives in the process.  Anyone watching can see that these men and their families are just like everyone else in a sense.  We all have issues and we all want to overcome things in life.  I think this show portrays these families in a good light.

People need to understand that just because someone preaches the word of God, that doesn't mean they don't have to provide for their families.  Success should be for anyone who reaches for it.  If God allows a man or woman to have the finer things then why shouldn't that be okay??  A preacher has a very important job.  In my opinion one of the most important, and as long as they are doing their duties in a respectable manner, how they build their career around that should be their business.  All preachers are not poor and all preachers are not rich so somewhere in between all of that we as a people need to worry about our own salvation.  A lot of us lack in that we are so pressed about what one person has going on we can't even come out of our own mess.

Last night's episode was one of the most inspirational in the history of the show!!  To see Bishop Gibson and his wife be so spiritually moved to help out their family members was a blessing in its self.  A lot of people
will say that their decision shouldn't have been so hard or that they should have just given the house to their niece in the first place.  To those people I say this.  "It is not always as easy as it seems (this thing called life).  We all lose focus and fall short and sometimes we have to come out of things in our time.  Bishop Gibson's sister Shaun made her choices and so this caused her daughter to have to go through things.  God places people in our lives for reasons and at times that are not always to be explained.  Bishop Gibson and First Lady Lavette did a wonderful thing, and the fact that they were able to is even more wonderful, but it was in God's time.  It's easy to say that they could have been gave Erica and her boys the home to stay in, but who is to say Erica was always ready for that responsibility.  Her time is clearly now, and she was ever so grateful and appreciative.

       @WayneChaneyJr
Pastor Wayne and his wife Myesha Chaney were also dealing with some serious family issues this episode.  Pastor Wayne's mother came to him to tell him that she had recently had a disagreement with her other son Caleb.  Caleb who is younger than Wayne seems to be struggling with some personal issues regarding the love and treatment he receives from his mother.  Now I won't go to deep because I only know what I see on tv, but it does seem like there may be some underlying issues, and that it may take some time to get through them.  Pastor Wayne wants to get to the bottom of things because he doesn't want the negativity to continue between his family members.  It is sad to see that he gets pulled into the drama because he is successful, but that is nothing but the devil trying to mess up a good thing!!                                                                      
WONT THE DEVIL BRING SOME MESS TO YOU?!?!?!  Any way... First Lady Myesha threw an amazing surprise birthday party for her husband, and even with the little drama of Caleb showing up uninvited the party was still a success.                                                                                            
                                                @MyeshaChaney

It was all the Twitter last night when people saw that Pastor Wayne asked his brother to leave the party because he didn't want his mother to feel uncomfortable.  Fans of the show were really upset that he wanted his brother to leave.  I, along with many others think that was the right decision.  He made a decision based off of a recent blow up.  If he didn't ask his brother to leave that would just leave room for a possible confrontation, and no one knows but them how that could have turned out!                                    

All in all last nights episode was moving and I felt blessed watching!  I think I will do more post about the show in the future!! What do you guys think??  Well my good people I will be bringing the happenings soon enough, but BE SURE to remember if u didn't get it anywhere else u know......

Love & Hip Hop Reunion Pt. 3 (Until Next year......)

@WhoisAriane

 

Ariane... This woman has seemed to  be nothing but an amazing friend thus far!  Ariane shows that her love for her girl Mimi is without hesitation or problem.  With all that Mimi has been through with her current boyfriend and previous lover, Stevie J, Ariane has shown and proved her loyalty and that truth cannot be denied!  Anyone watching may agree with me when I say that Ariane is the epitome of a friend.  Not only does she quickly dismiss bullsh**, she also decides when it is the right time or NOT to accept the bs.  Ariane is clearly not convinced that Nikko and Mimi are in an honest relationship.   She and Nikko has been in total disagreement since Ariane first became aware that the sex tape had been released!  Maybe even before that.

Nikko has been offered a chance to complete a lie detector test, which as far as the shows fans are concerned, would make the reality show opportunist omissions legit.  Nikko has declined to undergo the lie detector test.  Most people may be aware, but not 100 percent content with Nikko's response.  Nikkos is standing his ground which may possibly be allowing some viewers to believe that he is telling the truth about what he has done.  Nikko has also made it very clear that he was trying to come up off of the sex tape.  If you are unaware, Nikko is the boyfriend of Love and Hip Hop star Mimi Faust. She will not admit to any further relation's with Stevie.  Mimi has also made it very clear that she is a single mother to her daughter, and solely responsible for her well being!



BUT WITH ALL OF THAT SAID...............

Deb has been expressing her concerns throughout the entire reunion!  She seems to have love for all of the cast members in a loving and motherly way.  She has no problem speaking on how she feels about certain situations and always comes off as honest and real.  Deb along with the rest of the cast admits that they believe Nikko leaked the tape of he and Mimi.  She also questioned Nikko about why he did not tell Mimi he was married.  This is a question that I am sure most people on the outside looking in wants an answer to.  Deb pretty much commends Mimi for owning up to her part in all situations and does not understand why Nikko cannot do the same.  It seems as if Deb is saying that is why Nikko cannot be respected or taken seriously.  I couldn't agree with Deb more. It's like the more Nikko denies his wrongs, the further he digs himself into a hole.  The longer he waits to come clean, the further he pushes himself out of the hearts and minds of others.  Mimi may continue to love him and put up with his shenanigans, but the others don't have to and she may put herself in even an even more awkward situation with her friends.   

 @DebraAntney

Benzino and Stevie J have made it pretty clear that there is no coming back from where they are.  Their friendship is over.  Too many lines were crossed and so the brotherhood is no more!  It's kind of said when you really think about it because their bond appeared to be tight.  I mean we have saw them go at it before as brothers do.  The only difference between then and now is that things got physical between them and their women.  Some scars will definitely be left behind with season 3!  

There is still a lot of speculation of whether or not Stevie and Joseline are still together since the taping.  Rumors have been circulating that the two are now over, but you never know until you know.  Benzino and Althea are posting pictures on social media daily so we know they are going strong.  The love between those two seems real.  I have to be honest though.  I wasn't buying it at first.  I mean I was really thinking the whole marriage and relationship thing with them was all for the cameras and a story line.  It's good to see that isn't the case.

All in all Season 3 of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta has been the train wreck we all seem to be hooked on.  So until next year... If you don't hear it anywhere else just know....

The Family Hustle (Newports #OrNaw)

@troubleman31

Tip T.I. Harris has continually restored his reputation as a wholesome family man DESPITE his past actions and even some more recent situations which may cause some to doubt his influence.  We all know that T.I. has a past that may be represented as negative due to his street persona.  Anyone who knows hip hop music and it's development knows that most people in hip hop started their lives in the urban streets.  T.I. however, has managed to turn over some new leaves to be a present father to his children and loving husband to his wife.  I have previously blogged about the Harris family and their show, but never said much a bout the leading man.  So I decided to open with him today.


T.I.  took his young sons to the area where he grew up.  He is always trying to keep his children grounded by letting them know that they are blessed because of his hard work and struggle.  He doesn't want them to think that they are rich.  He instead wants them to understand that he is rich and all of the work that went into making that possible.  T.I. doesn't always like his children to be so consumed with electronics and technological gadgets.  So this trip to the hood was to teach them some of the things he and his friends used to do out side for fun.  They played games in the streets and even in front of the house.  There wasn't always a video game to play and/or computers and things of that nature.  For most black kids in the hood nature was the only option.  Everyone's parents could not always afford to buy the latest and greatest toys and games so children had to make a way out of no way.  Shout out to Tip for bringing positive vibes to reality television!  Thank you for inviting us into your home every week!!

@thatshekinah

This weeks epsisode of Family Hustle once again revolves around Shekinah Jo and Tiny Harris.  Shekinah  can't seem to kick her smoking habit which she admittedly wishes she didn't have.  Shekinah told Tiny that at 30 years old she has been smoking since she was a teenager, and has tried more than once to quit.  Tiny is not only concerned with her friends smoking, but she is also worried about her own health because she is on the receiving end of second hand smoke.  She also fears that Shekinah pack or more a day habit can be very harmful.

Tiny decides to take Shekinah to a hypnotist.  Shekinah agrees and the two go to a group session together with several other participants.  In their common fashion the ladies arrive late, and Shekinah is chatty Cathy the entire time.  Tiny goes under hypnosis first and this clearly freaks Shekinah out.  As tiny responds to the commands of the hypnotist Shekinah appears to be shocked and not amused.  It seems that she is uncomfortable seeing her friend under this kind of control, and so she proceeds to try to snap her out of it.  Shekinah hilariously attempts to wake Tiny and when she comes to she says that she was really under the hypnosis spell.  Shekinah finally goes under and the hypnotist tells her that when she comes to she will despise cigarettes.  Shekinah awakes, lights up, and suprisingly to me she is disgusted by the taste of the Newport!!!!


I CALL BULL SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lol I don't believe Tiny or Shekinah were reall hypnotized.  I say this because I have been to a hypnotist with some high school friends, and as convincing as it was while we were there, they all admitted that they were faking it.  Now I'm not saying I don't believe hypnotism is real, I just don't think certain people have the kind of focused to be put under.  I applaud Tiny for commiting the way she did.  She was just trying to be there for her friend.  I also applaud Shekinah for being ever so entertaining.  She knows how to make good tv!!  I wish Shekinah good luck on her quest to quit smoking.  It is not an easy task, and I know that from experience!  Well it's time for me to go my good people, but before I do I want you all to remember.  If you didn't hear it anywhere else just know........

Monday nights 9/8c on VH1!

UnSung Review (Bone Thugz n Harmony)

I have been watching UnSung since the beginning, and I must say that last night's episode is, was, and will always be the episode that hit closest to home!!!   Not only did TVone dedicate this episode to one of the hottest group of the 90's, but they gave it to BONE THUGZ N HAROMNY!!!

When I say that I have been practically raised by this music I AM NOT lying!  The hood is a place filled with dreamers on another level...  You have to be very intelligent to dream...YOU have to be very aware of your surroundings to even know that there is something more in life than you have.  If you don't understand what I am trying to say let me take a moment to get you understood real quick.  I DON'T have much time because I have to discuss Bone Thugz...  The hood is a circumstance.  It's an obstacle course and a challenge.  Just like anything else in life.  The only difference between the hood and everything else in life is you can't escape it.  If if you try you really don't want to.  It molds you and shapes you into the person that you are.  IM GOING TO FAR! #poetry... I'll revisit this later... We are talking about UnSung right?? I mean we were dishing bout Bone Thugz right?? So let's continue.

Bone released a single called 'First of the Month' which til this day is a hood anthem.  The reason being is because they are speaking on a reality that has affected every project boy and girl across America, and maybe even beyond.  They rapped about parents and adults receiving government paychecks which to most ghetto children was the best thing next to Christmas.  When that first of the month check came in it was time for a great week.  Kids were possibly getting new clothes, the water might have got turned back on (exmaple), and FOOD may be on the table in a much desired fashion.  Now I am not saying everyone in the hood had the exact same hardships, but somehow some way we were taught to understand each others situations.  That made for an even better experience.  

Death was common in the years of Bone Thugz.  They suffered a lot of loss as a group before they were even famous.  One of the worst moments of their lives together was losing friend and mentor Eric "Eazy E" White.  Eazy E helped Bone Thugz rise to fame.  He even looked up to them in his own way despite his senority in age and the industry.  Eazy unfortunately passed away from the AIDs virus.  His death was almost tragic because no one was aware of his illness yet he passed soon after he announced it.  

These terrible events led to another single from Bone  titled 'Cross Roads', which was an instant smash!  Cross roads was released in 1996 from Bone Thugz album 'E. 1996' which was in homage to Eazy E.  The video used to scare the SHIIIIIIIII outta me at 9 years old I ain't even going to lie!! Oh but let me get on track... Bone dwelled in this darkness and gained a reputation for a dark and eerie sound.  This sound made them world famous and even granted them the title of Cleveland's hometown heroes!  After Eazy died, the group struggled.  They didn't know who to trust nor could they keep themselves under control at all times.  Drugs and alcohol played a major role in Bone Thugz diminishing career in the late 90's along with a sense of security, and inexperience without guidance.

One fine year  (circa 2007) Bone hooked up with producer/ musician Akon and created another masterpiece.  'I tried' was a hit off of their latest album 'Strength and Loyalty'.  Akon put together a song that brought Bone Thugz back to their fans in a major way!  It sounded like everything Bone was, and when the boys spit their verses you felt every word!  All of this happened with only 3 of the members recording on the album. Krayzie, Layzie, and Wish Bone were adamant about keeping the group alive.  That's exactly what they did.  'I tried' was the highest chart topping single for the guys in 10 whole years!

Flesh n Bone spent 8 years in prison.  Layzie Bone suffered some serious substance abuse, and the group still lives on!  If you are not a fan of Bone, I'm not knocking you for not being from the hood, but I am telling you that this group has been a very important part of a lot of peoples lives.  To see them succeed is all one could ask for.  Since that has already happend for over 20 years there's not much more you can say.  JAREBEARSAYS thank you Bone for your contributions to music.  One day we will see your induction into that Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, and Lord willing you all will see it too!   I'm glad my good people took a few minutes out of their busy day to chill with me.  I know I can be long winded, but If you didn't hear the latest anywhere else.  You better know....

Love & Hip Hop Reunion Pt. 2 ( Can you say RAMPAGE!?!?!?!)

Stevie J & Joseline Hernandez

It is clear that everyone in the cast believes that Stevie J and Joseline were acting very strange while they were taping the reunion.  I don't think anyone was prepared for the rampage these two went on at all!  A few members have said that they could tell the two were there for trouble, while others accused them of being high on some type of drugs.

Benzino & Althea

Benzino did not bite his tongue when accusing Stebbie and Joseline of using cocaine, which provoked the wild brawl that ensued.  Joseline attacked Althea, and as Benzino tried to get at Joseline Stevie attacked him as well.  There was soooooo much security on the set, but whatever Stevie and Joseline were on CLEARLY gave them super powers because they were not easy to tame!!! After the fight appeared to be calmed down some of the cast members returned to set to prepare to continue taping.  Some how some way though the "Puerda Rican Pwincess" >>>>>NO SPELL CHECK<<<<< got loose and attacked Tammy while she was
in the middle of a conversation with Momma Dee.  Tammy tried her best to fight back in that shocking moment, but there were too many people who intervened.  SURPRISINGLY  to me Kirk made sure his wife was safe, and stuck around to make sure Tammy was safe and unharmed as well.  He would not leave the set until he was sure Tammy was safe, which says a lot for him since he was often portrayed as a jerk. Needless to say Waka should be appreciative being as though he wasn't able to be there to defend his wife.

Momma Dee blew me away with how calm she was through everything, and she actually had a lot of things to say that made sense.  Her highness seemed to be a regular person after seeing all of the REAL craziness break out! lmao  It was nice to see her snap back into reality for a few minutes.  I'm sure a lot of you can appreciate that...

After the final attack from Joseline on Mimi, Joseline and Stevie were escorted from the building.  Benzino and Althea opted to leave on their own.  They did not continue filming that day.

Everyone agrees that Stevie and Joseline are in a toxic relationship that is damaging both of their reputations more than it is building them.  Both are seemingly living in a dream world where they are King and Queen and everyone around them are beneath.  JAREBEARSAYS that they should call it quits and move on from each other while people still care who they are.  Joseline is much more lovable when she is in good spirits and being a good friend.  Stevie on the other hand has more respect when he is making legitimate business decisions and not lying and scheming to have a story line!  THESE ARE ONLY MY OPINIONS

Part 3 of the Love and Hip Hop Reunion special airs next Monday same time same place!  Will you be watching??  Feel free to leave a comment below.  We can chat!! Thanks for hanging out with me today. Remember if you don't hear it anywhere else...
