Hottie Highlight

Ladies start your engines!!!!

Brandon Jennings, 21 years old

Yes I know he is young, but just look at him! Think about it ladies...."cougarism" is in these days. If you are going to go young, you might as well pick up a young, successful, handsome and just plain sexy guy!
Plus he gives back, check him out at T-Mobile's NBA On 4G Interactive Space event at NBA Jam Session this weekend.




 BJ loves the kids

What's your "Number"? (This one is for the Ladies)




I was recently having a conversation with a girlfriend of mine and she asked whether I still count the number of partners I have had or is that something you do when you're young? That was a good question which fueled several minutes of in depth conversation. We all know of the double standard: Men can have a million partners and it is praised by the masses.....Women on the other hand, its a different story. We are considered slutty, "loose" and/or promiscuous. Because of that many of us have had to adapt in order to survive in this "Man's World". My friend and I decided that unless you are a very good girl, newbie to sex or a prude, you have lied about the "number" of partners you have had. (If you don't agree, just remember this is my OPINION.) Okay maybe "lied" is too strong and "omitted the truth" might work better, either one works just fine for me. In any case we spoke about several ways of "calculating" your Number.

Here is what we came up with:


1. If you are under 18 you should still be able to name/tabulate how many with no problems.

2. Over 18?

- You can round off your "actual" number. (if you remember it...lol)

- Come up with what you think is an "acceptable" amount for your age range and stick to that number for a while.

- Start with the age you lost your "innocence" and add 2 partners for each year since then that you were single.

- Start with your "actual" number and subtract all of the following: 1 night stands, waste of times, bad performers and wish you never mets.

- Use your "actual" number and embrace it like Samantha from Sex and the city.

What's on the Tube

Coming Soon....


An addition to Bravo's "The Real Housewives of..." empire. THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MIAMI. Yeaaaa, I'm so excited! Finally our city is part of one of my favorite reality shows. I just hope they do the city justice and make all of us proud. I love Orange County, Beverly Hills, Atlanta, New York and even New Jersey housewives but I definitely have a soft spot for my "home team". The series is set to premiere on Tuesday, February 22nd at 10pm.

The series will be based on the lives of 6 Miami ladies:

- Larsa Pippen, wife of Ex-NBA baller Scottie Pippen.
- Lea Black, wife of top Defense Attorney Roy Black.
- Marysol Patton, divorced owner of premiere PR firm The Patton Group.
- Adriana DeMoura-Sidi, divorced art curator.
- Alexia Echevarria, married Executive Editor of Venue Magazine.
- Cristy Rice, ex-wife of NBA baller Glen Rice and local business owner.

*My only complaint is that with a melting pot of a city like Miami, I would think the cast would be more culturally diverse.

The Half time show with The Black Eyed Peas was great. I just love them! I was fist pumping during the whole performance. And of course Usher was a welcomed surprise. 2 thumps up!! But for me the best part of the weekend was all the celebs seen partying in Dallas. Check out the flicks below:


Chad "Ocho Cinco" and fiancee Evelyn


The very handsome and talented Chris Brown

Songstress Keri Hilson


Former Spice girl "Mel B." and her hubby

February Already?


So we are six days into a new month, seems like just yesterday was New Years. February is a short month, 28 days, but it packs a punch. What's so special about February? Well, today is Super Bowl Sunday, for American football fans it's a very big day! This year we have the Pittsburgh Steelers competing against the Green Bay Packers. The commercials are supposed to be bigger and better than years past, everyone looks forward to the annual Super Bowl parties, who sings the national anthem and the pre-show and half-time performances.
More importantly this is "Black History Month", a time to reflect on the past in order to really appreciate the freedoms we have today. When I think about all the historic icons like Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Sojourner Truth and Jackie Robinson (just to name a few), I am proud of my people - where we came from and where we are today.
We also celebrate 2 major holidays Valentine's Day on the 14th and President's Day on the 21st, February is a busy month. (And for those of you that think tax season is also a holiday.....I am with you! Everyone who actually receives a return agrees.)
So in summary please take the time this month to learn about your past and enjoy your present!
