OK, so this week super hot R&B producer Ryan Leslie landed himself in a bit of hot water with You Tube. Apparently, he has been accused of creating YouTube accounts to hype RyanLeslie TV. The company is crying foul in the major publicity and visits the RyanLeslie TV channel gets. The controversy emerged following a video entry made on October 19, 2006, by a YouTube member who's screen-name is BOH3M3, which resulted in over 400 video responses and RyanLeslie TV being removed from YouTube Channel ranking. Well, Ryan is a bit of a dark horse isn't he? When he use to email me, he came across as sweet and level-headed not to mention that he is mad talented (he did the damn thang on Cassie and Jojo's albums). I love his work and I downloaded his album some months ago and it was good. He has a very nice voice. But hey, if Murda Stinc were allowed to buy all of Ashanti's records and if Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez can indulge in payola and pay all the major radio stations to spin their records, then I say he isn't doing anything different from all the other music executives that cheat their way to the top. I mean buying your artists records, c'mon! Talk about desperation and not having faith in your new artist to pull units. I would feel insulted but it's like whatever.

Rihanna supports Jay-Z!

Some sexy concert pictures of Rihanna Fenty in Australia where she supported Jay-Z on his Australian tour. Judging by these pictures, no wonder Beyonce decided to tag along. I guess she decided to keep Rihanna in check. When Jay-Z was in the UK a couple of weeks ago on his UK tour, Rihanna was there as she performed at the Mobo Awards. Wherever Jay-Z and Rihanna may be, expect Beyonce not to be too far behind, with her insecure self. The Blu Cantrell incident *cough* Ring The Alarm. *cough*

Well, speaking of Bee, more sightings of Beyonce in Australia where she attended the zoo.

Is his face made out of spandex? *lol* Just so surreal. He really need not make those weird facial expressions when he looks, not so pretty. Pretty Ricky shoot their new video for Hotline!

Anyway, I was the first to give you the new Pretty Ricky track Hotline which is going to be their new single from their sophomore album entitled Late Night Special and now here are some pictures taken from their new video for the track. Click thumbnails for larger view.

Yesterday, Madonna did an interview with Oprah Winfrey via satellite from her London home and these touching family pictures only serves to prove that Madonna really means business in providing little David Banda with the loving and security that every baby needs. Kudos to her for ensuring that the little mite will no longer live in poverty. David looks REALLY happy! He will enjoy a life of luxury, drink the finest wine, travel and see mama Madonna at her concerts. Just by association, he is already a famous rich kid, hahaha! He will mingle with Britney Spears children, date one of Puffy's girl twins when they get older and be best pals with baby Suri *lol* I am sure once David's biological father sees these pictures he will see that maybe the adoption was for the best and will no longer intervene. And yeah, maybe I was a little harsh in my Madonna rant. However, these pictures speak louder than words any day of the week.

I love the show Prison Break and I'm not one to miss an opportunity to post pictures of the cute Wentworth Miller. So check him out!

This week, Went and his co-stars attended the FOX Fall 2006 Eco-Casino Party at Boulevard3 in Hollywood, CA. Even when gross-looking Teabag is cleaned up and dressed in a suit, he still looks greasy and no different from the grubby pervy cellmate we are use to seeing. Nevertheless, you got to give it to him. The dude is frickin' hilarious. Just what will they do now that he has stolen all that damn money? After a 3-week hiatus Prison Break returned this week on US screens. However, they have yet to start airing the new episodes over here. I have to download the episodes instead or watch them via a stream. The same with Lost as well. My sister who is a Lost fanatic is telling me the new episodes won't air on British screens until January. Grrrr! Well, at least by that time, American Idol will be back on our screens. Hurray!

How does someone get from this?

to this?

I was over at Cake & Icecream where she posted some pictures of pre-surgery Kim and she was an attractive black woman back in the day. I am looking at pictures of Kim when she attended an event this week, and it just broke my heart. Despite the black nose it was actually cute, but now her nose looks like a blob of plasticine with two holes dented on each side. Her skin looks unhealthy and sometimes she wears foundation that is lighter than her actual skin tone. Sometimes the foundation is applied so heavily, it looks like her pores are all clogged up. Her bright eye contacts just look weird, her long and sleek weaves never seem to match the texture of her hair underneath (you can always see the new regrowth which is NOT a good look). She wears white people's make-up and her mouth is all twisted as if she were a stroke victim of some sort. I think it's really sad that you allow so much plastic surgery to contort your looks in horrific circumstances. I think it all started when she fell in love with the late Biggie Small (Christopher Wallace) who had a thing for high yellow mixed race women with euro-centric features (Charlie Baltimore and Faith Evans).

Kim was nothing more than just a notch on his bedpost. He went on to marry Bad Boy's R&B singer Faith Evans and I know that must've cut up Kim, to marry a woman he hardly knew when Kim was always there for him was pretty trifling. Now it seems Kim is going out of her way to look like the women that Biggie was attracted to, because she felt rejected by a man she had strong feelings for. In these circumstances she feels it will liberate her and make her more appealing but deep down she is very unhappy and insecure with herself because she feels the need to be accepted by black men and society in general, propelling herself to live up to society's standards of beauty. Have you even seen the album cover to her last album and the pictures within it? Just pitiful. Low self-esteem is a bitch and believe me I've been there during my high school era but I think everybody goes through some self-awareness during their adolescence stages. A young girl starts her menstrual cycle, will start to take a fascination in make-up, grow breasts and her thighs become more rounded. Boys will start to grow stubble and their voices start to deepen, and then there's the acne. By the way, I don't have a bone straight nose my damn self. It is on the pudgy side, cute but pudgy. My dad is pretty fair with bone straight features. I use to ask myself why didn't I adopt his features? Why couldn't I be lighter skinned like the rest of my siblings (one of my sisters looks like Mariah Carey and one of my brothers has freckles). But I grew out of that stage by the time I started college and learned to embrace myself and love me for me.

I would NEVER in a million years touch my face. I would be too afraid to do it. Look at the Jackson's as an example of plastic surgery gone catastrophically wrong. Looking at Michael Jackson should be enough to put anyone off from getting their faces messed with. Why fix it if it aint broke? I know that I clown the hell out of celebrities on my blog, but I just find it extremely funny to see these people with soooo much money looking a hot ass mess. A good stylist, nutritionist and nice make-up can go a long way. Amerie and Letoya Luckett were natural beauties BEFORE they got their noses done. It's just crazy. Plastic surgery can do wonderful things for some people but when you go too far with it, you can look horrific. Not everybody can have a nose like Halle Berry and to see Kim with this complex and be well into her 30s shows that it won't end well. If she hasn't accepted herself for what she is at that age, I would hate to see the extent of her self-loathing in the next 10 years. Black Courtney Love? Most definitely. Love yourselves ladies, I'm out!!!
