Dating A Felon: Would You?

You've heard the grim statistics for black men: Jail, prison, dead, etc.
You have a bunch of options in your late teens and early 20s, perhaps even having the luxury to be quite picky. But as the age bus continues to plow ahead, and those 30s roll around, you obviously run out of the Talented Tenth and into the wide open field of players, phonies and homies.
The number of single, eligible men dwindles faster and faster and you soon arrive upon brothers that are less than perfect.
The one you choose happens to have a rap sheet for "doing dumb stuff" as a teenager or adolescent. He's not a killer, but he may have been a robber, or went down with some shady associates who were up to no good.
If he tells you he's a felon, he obviously wants you to know about it.
If he doesn't he obviously wants it to stay hidden.
Either way you find out.
Do you stay or play?

The Rihanna 2.0: Singer Tries to Shed Recent Past

Like a rag doll or Malibu Barbie, pop singer Rihanna has simply shed her recent baggage and put on a new outfit and attitude to go with the times.
After Chris Brown's court hearing yesterday, where he was allowed more freedom to get closer to RiRi and his sentence delayed, it seems the whole incident is slowly coming to an end.
Rihanna has been seen out on the town, laughing, joking, partying, and not sulking. Those hoping that she would become a spokesperson for domestic violence or any time of abuse have been sadly mistaken.
Rihanna has a music career to revive, fans to thrill.
She's new and improved.

Accessorize: Earrings, Necklace, Lipstick

Admit it, you sleep on accessorizing, don't you?
I mean, do you really put effort into coordinating the tidbits of clothing and apparel that make your outfit come together?
Many women get the toes to match the nail polish and call it day, but why not take advantage of the fashion possibilities?
Got a cool belt? How about matching it with a similar neck-piece?
Got that hot nail polish? What can you do with lip gloss?
As John Witherspoon soon emphatically put it in "Boomerang": CoOORDINATE. CoooORdinaaate!"

R. Kelly Releases Mixtape: Do We Care?

Seems like the Pied Piper has done this summer what a major R&B artist has never done (No, not that, he was aquitted, remember?). Kelly has released a mixtape, called "The Demo."
"I been in the stands watching the music scene for a minute, just chillin'," Kelly recently told MTV.
We all know 'chillin' is not in Kells' vocab, but we understand a brother needs to lay low, especially with his reputation. "I said, 'If I'm gonna do a mixtape, I feel like I'm starting over in a way.' I said, 'I'm gonna act like this is my first time as an artist. I'mma do a demo and hope the world sign me.' "
Question: Who really wants a "demo" from R. Kelly though?
Isn't Trey Songz the new Kells? Just sayin.

Zoe Saldana on 'Star Trek' sequel: Affirmative

Intergalactic, outerspace, other-worldly hottie Zoe Saldana made geeks wet their pants last weekend at Comic-Con when she confirmed the obvious:
"Star Trek" enterprise is coming back for more.
Saldana, who played Uhuru in the big-screen remake, said she still doesn't know the plot, but the film is definitely in the works.
"I do know that they are germinating a script," she said. "That's what they told us a month and a half ago, which actually means—in that kind of talk it means that they're probably halfway done with a script. They just can't present it to anybody."
But they can present it to salivating fans with Spock-ears though, right?

When Is The Last Time You Had A Fight?

Aah, as an ode to a simpler, more youthful time, I had the pleasure of recalling a fist-fight I had in elementary school.
I hate to say that the memories are fond because fighting was a negative thing, but with all the diabolical conflict going on in today's world, opening an old-fashioned can O' whip-arse "with your haines" was considered a rite of passage.
It was a time of simpler time, before compound words like "dirty bomb," and "child porn."
Just you and the other person, coming to sweet blows; no guns, no knives, just a physical misunderstanding that played out when tempers cooled down.
Not that I want to fight now, because, well, people don't fight anymore, (they squeeze).
I'm not talking about two adults going at it; that's sad. I'm talking about horseplay that perhaps went too far back in the day. An innocent whuppin'.
When was the last time you had a fight?
