I am really confused by the messages some musicians and "rappers" are giving young women today. Neyo for instance has a lovely song by the name of Miss Independent. One of the verses actually says "her bills are paid on time." That's it? Pay your bills on time? He coos this like it is a sweet nothing. There are several songs that refer to women and their independence. A rapper named Webbie actually has a song that spells it out "I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T." I cannot repeat a verse because I have no idea what else he says. Jamie Foxx has a song titled " I Love Her Cause She Got Her Own." Really Jamie? Ok, I guess the message is clear. Bitches stop being so lazy, pay your bills on time that is truly the way to a man's heart.
But, then I hear T.I's song "Whatever You Like" and I am instantly confused. In the video he actually tells the girl at the fast food restaurant "you know you're too cute to be working here." Which I find incredibly offensive because this implies that she is too cute to work. His lyrics are much more romantic. "Brain so good coulda' sworn you went to college." So, give good head pretty girl you don't need to go to college....then "you can have whatever you liiiiike." Gross...

What Year Is This? 1912?
It’s freezing in Washington, D.C., in February.
But despite the chill, First Lady Michelle Obama is still exercising her constitutional fashion right to bare arms.
The first lady is becoming known for her casual sleeveless styles and impressive muscular arms, which we’ve glimpsed along the campaign trail and even on the cover of Vogue.
And she was bare-armed again last night when President Obama was addressing Congress for the first time.
“Oh my God,” Cindi Leive, Glamour editor, e-mailed the New York Times last night. “The First Lady has bare arms in Congress, in February, at night!”
Obama’s super-sculpted arms are reportedly well-earned. She started working out with a personal trainer a few years ago.
In recent years, she’s kept up her exercise regimen a few times a week — cardio and lifting weights, or doing Saturday training sessions with the same trainer who kept her husband in shape on the campaign trail.
Now her strong arms getting international attention as they slowly come to symbolize the inner strength of Americans, particularly American women.
Either that or Michelle is just a big fat Madonna copy cat. What do you think of Michelle Obama’s bare arms? Is it proper or disrespectful? Is it admirable or shameless? (La Times)
All of these events were indoors so it is most likely she had a coat on. So, if she was wearing a long sleeve blouse in the summer time would that be considered inappropriate? It is not as if the First Lady is wearing a plunging neckline or a short tight skirt or looks disrespectful in any way so why all the hoopla? Stop being so angry people. We haven't had a First Lady that could rock her biceps since....ever? Imagine Barbara Bush rocking a halter top. Got the vision? Now suck on that for a while and embrace the tone.
Oh and the whole "they come to symbolize inner strength of Americans? Who is the journalist that wrote that pile of dog shit? It's like in Forrest Gump when everyone is asking him "why are you running?" "Are you running for World Peace?" "Are you running for Women's Rights?"
"I just felt like running."

An Open Letter To The Guy Who Parked Behind Me In The No Parking Zone At The Grocery Store
Dear Owner of a Black GTI With an Apple Sticker On Your Hatchback Window (douchebag),
I know you believe in God, because he was the one thing that stopped from ramming my car into yours last night. Asking God for patience was all I could do to keep my cart from just rolling into your shiny black drivers side door. It's not like you didn't deserve it. You blocked my exit, you blocked the pavement between the cement grassy areas that is specially made for my cart to go through. If you could only have witnessed the chaos you caused for about 15 minutes in that parking lot but no you were tucked safely inside of the store. Far away from me. I considered pulling a Fried Green Tomatoes, but like I said God told me not to.
If I could take back that moment in time, I would have patiently waited and beat you with the loaf of french bread I know you were buying instead I walked away. But, if this is where you shop regularly I will be looking for you. I will find you....and I will cut you.
Hugs and Kisses,
Daria

Kim Kardashian Adopts Monkey....Just In Time To Make Headlines
This is her explanation, please tell me what is wrong with this way of thinking:
“I understand my timing was not appropriate and it was insensitive of me, so I want to explain,” she blogs. “The pictures I posted are from six months ago when we were filming season three of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I had held onto these pictures for months and preset them to run the month before my show was going to air, to give you guys exclusive glimpses into season three.“My mom has been begging Kourtney, Khloe and I to settle down and have kids, so we thought it would be funny to rent a baby chimpanzee for a week and leave her with my mom! We don’t still have Suzy, she was just rented for a week! You guys will see what happens this season with Suzy!" (celebitchy.com)
You rented a monkey for a week because your mom is begging for grandchildren? You know, I like you Kim. I really do. When you are standing there in all those pictures posing quietly, you are so lovely and then you go and do something like this. Like opening your mouth, that just makes me sigh and want to pat you on the head before I grab the duct tape to stop you from saying one more stupid thing.
Tyler Durden asked a question this week regarding a really beautiful bikini model to the likes of "how can someone like Sarah Jessica Parker be a famous actress and not this girl?" Well, here is your answer Tyler.

The Good, The Bad, The Very Ugly
It's amazing what you can get away with when you are respected in Hollywood:
Clint Eastwood believes the rise of political correctness is no laughing matter.
He says the world would be a better place if we could still laugh at inoffensive jokes about different races. The Hollywood actor and director, 78, said we live in constant fear of being labeled racist for simply laughing about national stereotypes.
‘People have lost their sense of humour,’ he told Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine.‘In former times we constantly made jokes about different races.
‘You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth otherwise you will be insulted as a racist. I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a “Sam the Jew” or “Jose the Mexican” - but we didn’t think anything of it or have a racist thought.’
‘It was normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem… I don’t want to be politically correct. We’re all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything.’ (dailymail.com)
Well Clint, I believe that amongst a group of friends you may joke amongst yourselves about yourbackground or heritage. Believe me if I hear my black friends say one more joke about fried chicken, to their Jewish friend across the table, I as a spicy latina will vomitar (throw up). It is one thing amongst friends, but like how you say "in the earlier days", there was lynching as well as jokes so that tends to cause some sensitivity amongst some racial groups.

WTF Is Canoodling?
It's probably just the fevered dreams of tabloid writers, but rumor has it that Paris Hilton was seen "canoodling" with Twilight hottie Robert Pattinson at the Rick Yorn and Patrick Weitzell Oscars after-party on Sunday night.
According to a source, "Paris and Rob were deep in conversation, being very flirtatious with each other, when Benji, Paris' ex approached. Paris was polite to Benji, but continued talking to Rob, and poor Benji slinked away." (perezhilton.com)
I hate to say it but Perez Hilton is usually right about gossip. He is annoying as hell but he is usually right. So that is why this story makes me weep. Why Edward why?? You could have any woman on the planet and yet you decide to take a ride on the town bicycle? What would Carlisle and Esme say? What is it about this girl? There has to be more than one slut in Hollywood right? Where is Sienna Miller when you need her????

At First When I See You Cry, It Makes Me Smile :)
In the wake of the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident, Chris Brown has lost his endorsements, his career, his girlfriend, his fans, his radio play, his dignity, and he may very well lose his life.
A music insider explains to the new issue of In Touch Weekly that "Chris is a marked man. He faces criminal charges and possible jail time, but he’s going to have to deal with Rihanna’s legion of fans and her close-knit friends in the industry."
And the leaked photo of Rihanna's battered face only fanned the flames. The insider added, "The threats started pouring in the moment that appeared online."(perezhilton.com)
I really should not be smiling regarding anyone's misery, especially death threats. But, I like the idea of him being at least a little fearful of getting his face half as busted up as hers is right now.
