Amber Rose Set To Have A Reality Show

   So one of the FIERCEST celebs, Amber Rose, will have a reality show airing this fall. Amber's show will be called "Behind Her Shades" which will follow her present life and what she is doing-- the title is very fitting since we don't know much about her. It's already in the works and she has been filming recently.

Amber is also opening a boutique in LA and it will feature vintage shades. The bombshell is definitely known for her shades so I think the boutiique might do well.

I am anxious to see what this show will be about. It should be interesting.

Where Has Missy Elliot Been?

We all have been so used to hearing a Missy Elliot song on the radio and for the past few years she has been absent from the scene. So where has the "Work It" rapper been? Missy recently revealed to People Magazine that she has Graves Disease. She was diagnosed with the disease in 2008. Graves Disease affects the thyroids and can cause serious issues with the nervous system. Along with these symptoms, Missy talked about how she was losing weight and her hair. The rapper states " I couldn't write because my nervous system was so bad -- I couldn't even use a pen." Missy is doing better and has not been on meds in almost a year but will have to live with the disease for the rest of her life.

Missy will be featured on Behind the Music on June 29th and I am sure she will discuss her absenteeism from the rap game and how this disease has affected her.

Keep your head up Missy!!

The Fashion On The Show Singles Ladies is HoTT!!!

The fashion game for the cast of Single Ladies is ridiculous!! Stacey Dash has the hottest shoes and accessories, Lisa Raye has the fiercest dresses, and Charity Shay has the bomb everyday outfits. I was able to find a clip of one of the stylists discussing the fashion for Stacey Dash and behind the scene glances at her wardrobe. Her stylist is actually someone all of us fashionistas know, Anthony L. Williams from Project Runway. Check out the clip below:




There Will Be A Basketball Wives LA

So the hit Reality Show Basketball Wives will now be franchising a show in LA. Shaunie and other producers for the show announced the show will air on August 29th. The show already has casted Gloria Govan from the original Basketball Wives, Kimsha Artest (wife of Ron Artest) and Jackie Christie (wife of Doug Christie -LA Clippers). I would love to see Vanessa Bryant (Kobe's wife) and see what she is about because I don't know much about her.

Speaking of Vanessa, she has beef with Khloe Kardashian (Odom). Supposedly Vanessa does not like the fact that Lamar and Khloe have a reality show becuase this took the spotlight off her. Vanessa has always been known as the head wife of the LA Lakers and when the show aired Khloe was the head wife in the public's eyes. Vanessa had a dinner for the Laker Wives and did not invite Khloe because she said Khloe is a "fake wife." The two ladies have been in arguments before and I don't see them getting along anytime soon.

Beyonce Will be Performing At The BET Awards And Talks About Her New Fragrance

One of my favorite celebs will be performing at the 2011 BET AWARDS - My girl Beyonce! Make sure to catch the awards on Sunday June 26. I really hope she performs Run the World (Girls) because I remember the year Single Ladies came out and she performed Halo at the BET Awards... that was super wack!! So I hope she gives us a great performance to Run the World.

Also Bey is launching a new perfume called PULSE. This will be her 3rd fragrance.  I loved the Heat fragrance and I am excited about Pulse.

She had an interview with ELLE Magazine and talked about the new perfume:

ELLE: Your first fragrance, Heat, was a huge success. Did you feel any pressure following that up?
BK: I didn’t. The success of Heat was amazing, but why not represent a different side of a woman? Pulse represents the woman I am on stage. When I think about excitement, it makes me think about my heart racing and a pulsating beat­—it’s my stage persona. Heat represents my sensual side, it’s very spicy and Southern. Heat Rush is more about the woman I am on my off time, when I’m on vacation.

ELLE: You’ve been performing your whole life. Does your heart really still race when you get on stage?
BK: Performing at the Billboard Music Awards and on the Oprah farewell show made me so nervous! My heart was pounding out of my chest. But it’s amazing how that nervousness never goes away—it’s my natural response to something exciting and fresh and inspiring. It’s just like when you’re in a relationship. It’s not good when your pulse stops racing. That means you’ve got to spice it up.

ELLE: Why an upside down bottle?
BK: I wanted something modern that incorporated fashion into the overall design, so my stage costumes inspired the upside down chrome cap of the bottle.
ELLE: Are you often inspired by fashion?
BK: I’m inspired by a lot of different designers, but I haven’t bought couture pieces since my last vacation eight or nine months ago. I spent so much money on them, but didn’t wear them at the right time, so now I see other people in magazines wearing them first! Lately I’ve been shopping at Topshop and more affordable places—they have really cute things!

ELLE: After creating four solo albums and three fragrances, have you found any similarities between music and perfume?
BK: I’m learning that they’re very similar! Figuring out the ingredients in a fragrance that complement each other is no different than trying to figure out the combination of melody and lyrics for a song—it’s just as difficult. Both are something that take a lot of hard work. You need to have a strong opinion and know exactly what you want. I use my instincts from writing songs and coming up with videos—all of the things that have developed my taste level—and apply them toward making a fragrance.

ELLE: Like many of your songs, the single “Run the World (Girls)” is an anthem for female empowerment. Do scents ever make you feel empowered?
BK: Fragrance is such an important accessory! I feel incomplete when I don’t have my fragrance on; it’s like putting on your stilettos. When you feel good, when you look good, when you smell good, when you’re fresh, it makes you feel so confident. You feel that much more sexy when you know that you’re going to leave a lasting impression.

'Single Ladies' is a Single Mess!!

This show/movie/series (whatever it is) was not what I thought it was going to be. First I must say that the ladies look beautiful as ever! But the men picked for the cast are not that great looking. They either look too old or they "suspect". I enjoyed the storyline of the show but the acting was just too much. Lisa Raye and Stacey Dash haven't been on the movie scene in so long and I think maybe that's why they were so rusty with their acting skills. I will tune into the series to see what it's all about but I must say, the movie was not that great! I just expected more from it. What did ya'll think about it? Make sure you comment!

Did Ya'll Catch the Premiere of Basketball Wives?!?!

  So I watched the premiere of Basketball Wives along with 3.5 million other viewers and once again the ladies did not fail me! There was tons of drama and plenty of bashing. In case you missed it let me give you the run down! Tami and Evelyn still have their drama going on from the Reunion show and now Evelyn is trying to make T-Shirts from her so called trademark "You're a Non M*Fing Factor." Now when Tami heard about these T-Shirts it ran her HOT and rightfully so. Evelyn is so grimy and has no morals or integrity. But I will say that she is definitely a hustler! To make T-Shirts that have a negative meaning about another woman and not care because you are so focused on money, oh yeah you are a hustler in my book! With all that being said, Tami is pursuing a lawsuit because of the shirts. Also on the show Jennifer has moved into her own place because Eric Williams sold their condo. Royce is still talking ish about Evelyn and I am pretty sure their drama is still going on! The newbie, Meeka, is falling in the circle of Shaunie, Jenn, and Evelyn and I am waiting to see what fights she stirs up... she looks messy to me.

Make sure you catch Basketball Wives every Monday 7pm CST. Episode 2 will feature Suzie coming back to the circle and also drama sparks between Tami and Meeka!

Also I have a clip of Royce and Tami bashing Evelyn... It's pretty funny!
