Man Sharing
While listening to the radio this morning on my way into work they had an interesting topic about “Man Sharing”. Apparently this is a popular thing going on nowadays where women are knowingly and willingly sharing their “man” with another female as long as they’re dating and not married. They were saying how in certain areas, especially in DC, the ratio of women to men is so much higher that females are resulting to man sharing. Hmmm….I don’t know about this. What yall think? Would you participate in these activities? Would you rather know or not know about the other woman? What if it were Idris Elba would that change things? Personally I’d rather just be single.
But if it were #11 I might have to pray on it reeeeaaaal hard…..(don’t judge me)
Google is Getting Some Serious Side-Eye for This....
This is a screen shot of an actual Google search.
Ummmm......
Would You, Could You?
The chemistry whizkids at what used to be called Kentucky Fried Chicken before 'fried' became a word with negative connotations have come up with what they believe may be the year's big fast food burger seller - and it doesn't include bread. Behold, the Double Down.Read More......
The creation features a dollop of the Colonel's secret sauce wrapped in a slice of both Pepperjack Cheese and Swiss Cheese, between two slices of bacon and two filets of KFC original recipe chicken that serve as the 'bread' of the burger.
That's right - instead of bread, you get breaded chicken. Multiplied by two.
The Double Down is generally considered to be a big success thus far in the areas it has been tested, with management at a KFC outlet in Omaha Nebraska telling Australian reporters that the 'sandwich' had exceeded expectations.
The Double Down sells for $6.99 and a TV commercial promoting it in the American midwest says it has "so much 100 percent premium chicken, we didn't have room for a bun." The commercial comes as part of the "Rethink KFC" campaign that has, to date, been focused on rebranding the company with healthy products.
KFC doesn't offer official nutritional information on their website to tell potential Double Downers what they might be doing to their internal system, so we here at The Vancouver Sun have taken out our chemistry set and rebuilt the Double Down in our underground lab with a view to figuring out how it works.
The results show this one menu item can be estimated to supply more than the daily recommended allowance in fat (124%), saturated fat (117%), cholesterol (105%), sodium (125%) and protein (194%), as well as 61% of your daily recommended calorie intake.
The figures below are only an estimate based on nutritional information listed for individual ingredients on the KFC website, as well as ingredients that closely resemble others not listed, and data provided by nutritional watchdog groups based on generic brands, so should be taken (if you'll excuse the pun) with a grain of salt.
But if our figures hold true, and KFC won't confirm they don't, the Double Down is more caloriffic than the Wendy's Triple with Everything and Cheese (1700 mg sodium, 960 calories, 26 gms of fat), the Burger King Stacker Quad (1770 sodium, 1020 calories, 69 gms of fat), and compares closely to the fat, salt and calorie totals of three McDonalds Big Macs put together (3060 sodium, 1620 calories, 87 gms fat). source
So...
What do you think will happen to the person convicted of killing Michael Jackson?
Coroner rules Jackson's death homicide
LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press, a finding that makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who was with the pop star when he died.
The coroner determined a fatal combination of drugs was given to Jackson hours before he died June 25 in his rented Los Angeles mansion, according to the official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released. Forensic tests found the powerful anesthetic propofol acted together with at least two sedatives to cause Jackson's death, the official said.
Dr. Conrad Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist who became Jackson's personal physician weeks before his death, is the target of a manslaughter investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department. According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed Monday in Houston, Murray told investigators he administered a 25 mg dose of propofol around 10:40 a.m. after spending the night injecting Jackson with two sedatives in an unsuccessful attempt to get him to sleep.
The warrant, dated July 23, states that lethal levels of propofol were found in Jackson's system. Besides the propofol and two sedatives, the coroner's toxicology report found other substances in Jackson's system but they were not believed to have been a factor in the singer's death, the official said.
Murray has spoken to police and last week released a video saying he "told the truth and I have faith the truth will prevail." His attorney, Edward Chernoff, had no immediate comment but has previously said Murray never administered anything that "should have" killed Jackson.
A call to the coroner's office was not returned Monday.
Murray did not say anything about the drugs he gave to Jackson.

Very Interesting Take On the Reception of The Real Housewives of Atlanta
It took me a while to get into the first season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta because of what is exactly tackled in the blog post about it over at Racialicious.
The Real Housewives franchise was around for a few years featuring all white casts before RHOA came along and everyone had a snarky good time watching these delusional women lives their lives in front of the camera. As soon as the majority all black cast came along, animal, ghetto and men in wigs references became endless for a few women who are spotlighted as the embodiment of the African-American race.
And on a sidenote: FUCK Bethenny Frankel. The author plainly lays out why I feel this way. This bitch doesn't have a house nor could make herself a wife with her pre-owned ex-"fiancee" who didn't want anything to do with her cranious-maximus ass. Get bent, you pasty wench.
What's Worse: The Real Housewives of Atlanta or Race-Based Criticism of It?
Excerpt:
My point–As far as I can tell, nearly all of the Real Housewives are bullying, narcissistic, back-stabbing, money-grubbing, cliquey, disloyal, arrogant, self-involved, willfully ignorant, poorly spoken, wasteful and tackily nouveau riche. It makes for good television. But the Orange County, New York and New Jersey wives are not seen as representative of white culture or white womanhood. They are not discussed using racialized terms. And no white folks are spending time being embarrassed by their hijinks. By contrast, the Atlanta dysfunction is positioned as uniquely black, confirmation of a host of stereotypes about poor, ignorant, urban people; loud, angry black women; and shiftless black men with myriad baby mamas.

Was it “hood” when New Jersey housewife Theresa lost her shit and flipped a table during a loud imbroglio in a swanky restaurant?

Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 2, Episode 4
NeNe Leakes is the Queen Bee of the “Atlanta Housewives.” So when a newbie enters the hive, she’s going to get the once over by the Queen.
That newbie is Kandi Burruss, who finally gets together with the other four castmates, courtesy of Bravo producers. Okay, the show makes it appear as if it were NeNe’s idea to get everyone together to meet at a V.I.P. party at the King Tut exhibit at the Atlanta Civic Center. NeNe is such the Egyptian historian, right?
Anyway, Kim is the most reluctant to show up, of course, since she’s on the outs with both Sheree and Lisa. But NeNe convinces her to show up since it’s “for the kids.” Well, it’s for the show, too, because if Kim doesn’t show up, she may not get a paycheck from the network — or the camera time she so desperately needs. She does provide a salvo to NeNe: “Three strikes and you’re out!”
Empty threats aside, it’s always fun to watch Kim show off her vast knowledge of history with a line like “What the hell is King Tut?”
The party starts with cocktails. Kim drinks forlornly by herself as Sheree and Lisa arrive. She ignores them both and vice versa.
“I’m going to take the high road,” Sheree said, “because I’m a grown-ass woman.” Ah… that’s fine word usage when taking the good ol’ high road, eh?
Kim rolls her eyes at Lisa. In fact, that is one of Kim’s most impressive skills: rolling her eyes. “I’ll never mend that friendship,” she sneers about Lisa. “I don’t trust her,” Lisa added to the camera folk. “She’s not my friend.”
But alas, as NeNe later noted, Kim had to find someone new to latch onto — and that would be Kandi. Poor Kandi. Kandi said she wanted to keep an open mind about Kim despite what she’s seen and heard.
And shockingly, Kandi and Kim actually get along. “She was cool,” Kandi said, improbably.
As the two talk shop about Kim’s burgeoning “singing” career and the music biz in general, Sheree and Lisa mock them behind their backs. It’s very fourth grade. NeNe, Miss Queen Bee, is duly unimpressed by Kandi and her blase facial expression says it all, as if Kandi’s emanating some awful stench.
Dwight, sensing the tension, comes over and gets all five women to be his backup singers while he croons “Summertime” badly. So badly, in fact, that Kim called him “horrible.” Yes, Kim is the new Simon Cowell.
Kandi then takes over the vocals and sounds pretty good, even if she overdoes the vibrato, “American Idol” style. In fact, NeNe was not impressed. “She was okay,” NeNe said, as if she was expecting the second coming of Whitney Houston.
In the end, with the kids in tow, the women at the King Tut party did not end up with pulling any wigs or cursing up a storm. Shame. We are all getting so spoiled, aren’t we?
Later, at Fabric World with Dwight (who is getting far more airtime than he did season one), NeNe turns the cattiness up a notch about Kandi, setting us up for future conflict. “She appears to be a little ghetto,” NeNe said, “a little hood.” And Dwight was not impressed with A.J., Kandi’s fiance, because he spent way too much time on his cell phone and not much time interacting with the others.
Bonus for Clark Howard: NeNe actually said at the fabric store, when Dwight said not to look at the prices: “We’re in a recession! I look at pricetags!”
The other conflicts:
— Kim fires her nanny Tania for leaving her daughters alone while Tania left to buy tampons. Brienna, Kim’s 12 year old daughter, snitches on the nanny, who earlier had told her she was going to hell for (gasp!) rapping out a Spanish prayer and making stripper moves. So this was revenge, I fathom.
— Kandi’s mom is still hatin’ on the fiance with six kids from four baby’s mamas. At a photo shoot, Kandi tries to get a picture taken with both A.J. and her mom. Mother walks out. Kandi plasters a smile on her face but you know her heart is breaking inside.
— Lisa goes to Los Angeles to celebrate her grandma’s birthday and her brother Andre insists she go to her dead brother’s grave. She resists. The show ends with her in tears and promos of her continuing to resist next week. [AJC]
What was the last job you quit?
And... How do you go about quitting a job (or getting yourself fired)?
Rosie Lewis
Pictured above is not just somebodies sweet old grandma that probably makes the best sweet potato pie on Thanksgiving. Apparently she's a husband beater lol.
An Enfield woman was being held in jail without bond Tuesday after Halifax County authorities said she beat her husband over the head with a frying pan.
Deputies responded to an assault call Friday morning on the 5000 block of Justice Branch Road and found paramedics treating James Lewis, 85, for head injuries. Lt. Stevie Salmon of the Halifax County Sheriff's Office determined that Lewis and his wife, Rosie Lee Lewis, 71, had argued over what she had cooked for breakfast.
The couple continued to bicker as Rosie Lewis cooked another meal, Salmon said, and the argument escalated to the point that James Lewis raised his cane as if he were ready to hit his wife. Rosie Lewis then hit him on the head several times with an iron frying pan, knocking him to the ground, Salmon said.
Rosie Lewis was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and authorities said she was being held without bond because the charge stemmed from a domestic dispute.
James Lewis was taken to Halifax Regional Medical Center, where he received 50 stitches to close his head wounds, Salmon said.

I'm XX years old and I have never worn a tampon in my life. I hate the idea of tampons. I just have no interest in shoving something and walking around all day with it in there. I'm not saying it's unsanitary, I'm not saying I might not find it uncomfortable, they're just not for me is all.Read More......
I have always gone swimming with my period with "nothing in there," usually just wearing a dark bathing suit. The worst that's ever happened is a very small, not very noticeable trail once or twice when my flow was heavy, and that was when I was sitting around in the pool in one place for a long time. It was only recently that I heard that anyone ever wore a tampon into a pool, and honestly I thought it was a little odd (wouldn't the tampon absorb the chlorinated water up inside you? Who would want that? And apparently it does happen, albeit not nearly as much as one would expect.)
Okay, just for venting purposes, I am calling bullshit on this whole "unsanitary" crap. Think about being in a pool. A pool is full of people, many of them with cuts and abrasions (ever see a band-aid in a public pool? I'm thinking you probably have.) Nobody freaks out and says "you can't go in the pool if you have any kind of cut! It's unsanitary!" do they? Then why the heck would anyone freak out over a little period blood? It might be unsanitary in a unchlorinated pool, if you had AIDS, and there were other people in the pool with open wounds. But in a chlorinated pool? nothing lives through that.
I'm so sick of people's juvenile attitudes about menses. "Eeeewww! Periods! Groooossss!" Come on, people. Grow up. Vaginas are the one of the most sanitary parts of your body, weirdly enough--it's true that the blood on pads (not the stuff inside you) tends to collect e. coli from your derrière, but that's hardly a concern while swimming. Jeez.

Dash for cash: Man tosses money onto freeway
Several people run into traffic lanes in Southern Calif. to grab loose money
GLENDORA, Calif. - California authorities say a man caused a traffic jam when he threw money onto a Los Angeles-area freeway and people dashed into the lanes to grab the cash.
Highway Patrol Sgt. Kurt Stormes says the man tossed money from his car on Interstate 210 shortly before noon Sunday, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune reported. Stormes says about 10 people ran into traffic lanes to get it.
Police recovered about $1,000.
Police Lt. Steve Hunt says the 56-year-old man told officers he wanted to kill himself and was hospitalized for mental evaluation. His name wasn't released.
Authorities asked anyone who picked up the man's money to turn it in so it can be returned.

Are they serious about that turning in the $$?? I wish I would return some money that I risked my life for by running into traffic to get!!! Shoot, we're STILL in a recession!!

Hallelujah! Mich. church wins $70,000 in lotto
No matter divine intervention or just plain luck, church is richer
HASLETT, Mich. - Divine intervention? Or just plain luck? No matter what the circumstances, a Michigan church is $70,000 richer courtesy of the Michigan Lottery.
The Covenant Life Worship Center and its 25 members in Haslett, Mich. had one of the second-prize tickets in the Lucky 7s raffle held May 4.
The $10 ticket was purchased at a convenience store in Haslett, five miles northeast of downtown Lansing. The lottery Web site says the odds of a single ticket winning $70,000 in Lucky 7s are one in 55,556. Michigan Lottery officials say the church will receive the full amount of the prize because it is a tax-exempt group.
Pastor Marilyn Parmelee tells the Lansing State Journal that the prize money will go toward the church building fund, setting up a missionary fund and supporting local community service projects.

Umm, First off, why is the Church gambling? Don't most churches preach about not going to the "Boat" and spending your building fund $$ on the one-arm bandit or some scratch-offs? But I guess if Passa covers the $$ with his/her prayer cloth and get Bro. Franklin perform his Offering Dance , it's all good!!!
I wish our Passa would've let us play the lotto instead of the "Make it Rain for the Lawd" bikini contest/fish fry, Sister Berthaline wouldn't have those 2rd degree grease burns on her booty.

Anyway, this movie sux one of Derek J's(google him) chesticles!!
D.A.'s rating: Wait till you're bored and it airs on Blackbuster on BETHD(YES!! You can now see The Lollipop Kids(Rocsii & Terrence J)and Tiny's Lip implants in High-Def)

She Needs More People
A few observations:
1. Why does she keep bringing up she wrote No Scrubs? This is like the 50-11th time.
2. Who is really going to be buying her solo project? I mean lets be real she hasn't really been relevant before this show since '98.
3. You really expect us to believe he bought that ring?
4. How much you wanna bet T Boz was thinking "beesh is you crazy" when she told her about the 4 baby mommas.
Then she has this to say...
“He is financially stable and has his own money and he has a lot of businesses that I know of. I see things that he is doing that are legit, so as far as speculating on what went on before me, he has shown me legit stuff. I don’t want to go off into all of that, but it is what it is.”
Ummm denial is not just a river in Egypt. She better listen to her momma Uncle Beebo Unlce Booyah and Nem!
You Know It Ain't Us Doing The Confusing
Long Island sisters often mistaken for Sasha and Malia Obama 
A pair of Long Island sisters are basking in the adoration that follows Sasha and Malia Obama - because people keep mistaking them for the First Daughters.
Krissy and Nandra Best are constantly stopped for autographs and even did well in a celebrity look-alike contest on "Live With Regis and Kelly." "We tell people,'No, we're not' but they keep on insisting that we're them," 9-year-old Krissy told the Daily News Saturday from her home in Medford, L.I.
Their mom, Karen Noel Best, entered the darling duo in the "Live" contest last month and wasn't surprised they made it to the finals and were featured Friday.
"People have been saying they look like the Obama girls since the election," said Best, 48. "We go to the mall and restaurants and people always stop us."
"Sometimes I say, 'Yes, they are the girls, and I'm their nanny and we have to go,'" she said.
The girls said being on TV was a thrill that could only by topped by meeting Sasha and Malia in person.
"That would be so awesome!" Krissy said.
"My family voted for Obama and we worked for the campaign."
Their mom says she can't think of better role models for her daughters. "I really do share a lot of values with the president and I like the way he raises his daughters," Best said.
"He talks about how important reading to kids is. I love that my daughters look up to the Obamas." [NY Daily News]

For your listening pleasure. If you get a chance, check out "Flight of the Conchords" on HBO. Don't ask me when the new season starts, you got the TV Guide channel just like I do.

LOL! If I may interject (this is one of my favorite shows yay!):
I swear Jemaine and Bret were on acid when they did I Told You I Was Freaky.
Flight of the Conchords is an HBO show about two mediocre musicians from New Zealand who try to make it in New York. During the show, they don't break out in song, but their situations turn into music videos and then they return back to life like nothing happened.

Good Hair: The Movie
When Chris Rock’s daughter, Lola, came up to him crying and asked, “Daddy, how come I don’t have good hair?” the bewildered comic committed himself to search the ends of the earth and the depths of black culture to find out who had put that question into his little girl's head!Read More......
Director Jeff Stilson’s camera followed the funnyman, and the result is Good Hair, a wonderfully insightful and entertaining, yet remarkably serious, documentary about African American hair culture. An exposé of comic proportions that only Chris Rock could pull off, Good Hair visits hair salons and styling battles, scientific laboratories, and Indian temples to explore the way black hairstyles impact the activities, pocketbooks, sexual relationships, and self-esteem of black people.
Celebrities such as Ice-T, Kerry Washington, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, Raven Symoné, Maya Angelou, and Reverend Al Sharpton all candidly offer their stories and observations to Rock while he struggles with the task of figuring out how to respond to his daughter’s question. What he discovers is that black hair is a big business that doesn’t always benefit the black community and little Lola’s question might well be bigger than his ability to convince her that the stuff on top of her head is nowhere near as important as what is inside.

Meik Come Get Him
Uhhh WTF is going on with the Dragon aka Sisqo aka Mark Andrews?? Apparently back in ’99 he was kicking it over in Zurich somewhere with a 14 year old and got her pregnant. Now the girl who is 25 has confirmed that the baby is his!
A few questions:
Who knew his name was Mark Andrews?
Why was he screwing a 14 year old??
How is Meik reacting to this shocking news???
Oh what a tangled web we weave when you screw a minor and she conceives....
On a lighter note who saw that video of Drake falling on stage? His knee now has a twitter and is spitting bars from it’s point of view *smh*
