Another One Bites The Dust: Giant Mag Folds

15

Posted by Witch Hazel | Posted in Giant Magazine, Recession | Posted on 30-11-2009

Radio One’s Giant Magazine is folding…sorta.  Giant will stop printing and become a web-only publication.  Radio One bought the magazine two years ago for just $270,000.  The mag is aimed at 20-somethings (does this mean they don’t read or they’ve cut reading from the budget?  Justaskin…).  Anyway, the mag covers entertainment, celebs and fashion and has had (in my humble opinion) some of the flyest, most thinking-out-of-the-box covers.   

You’ll be able to find Giant online at GIANTlife.com, a new Web site as part of its Interactive One division.  No word though on who’ll get the ax over at Giant.  

Among their web ventures, Radio One also owns BlackPlanet (yo….that still exists?) and NewsOne. 

Damn… times are tough!

Citizens of NOLA, Suck It! (Politically Incorrect Content Ahead)

Posted by Piper from the Brew | Posted in brad pitt, new orleans | Posted on 30-11-2009

Straight from the Ungrateful Summabitch Files, there are citizens of New Orleans that are complaining about the Brad Pitt’s Make It Right, eco- houses. Lemme get this ish straight. You lost your homes, neighborhoods, and family members. Shit, was UNDER WATER– Aqua Man Stylee, Son!! Someone came in and said ‘hey not only are we gonna help you rebuild what you lost- but we’re going to do it in such a way that we aren’t ruining the earth further. And should this happen again, your home should be secure.” We will engineer a home that will RISE WITH YOUR MOTHERFLIPPIN TIDES AND FLOAT, SUCKA- FLOAT!!! Because God forbid the government – replace your levies…. (Ok here’s an idea. You guys go down to home depot and jerry rig them up with some planks and duct tape, yourselves. Since you have all the answers!- I gave you that one for free!) Now your ass is up in arms, because according to you these homes ‘don’t reflect the history of New Orleans’ Mind you, these houses are NOT in a historical district. So, which history are you trying to re-create? The one where your house was UNDERWATER, because it was not structurally correct for your terrain?! You got your FEMA check and got brand effing new, didn’t you, Son?

Tell you what, why don’t you spend less time busting caps in the ass of Bayou Classic tourists; call an all hands on deck, and come up with a way to build the neighborhoods of your dreams. You don’t like what people are giving you? Find a way to make what you want out of your homes, YOURSELVES.

Pissed Brewchie, Out!

SHOVE YOUR OFFICE POTLUCK!

Posted by Elphaba Of The Brew | Posted in brew commentary | Posted on 30-11-2009

 
 
With Thanksgiving done, and the media schmucks all in a tizzy about Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Eff It Just Buy It Please Wednesday,  I am already over the Holiday Season.  And it is with dread that I ponder the most hated office Holiday tradition, around.  Call me a Scrooge… but there is one thing that skeeves me out about the Holiday season, and that’s the blasted Office Potluck.  At once such event, I saw someone from one of our satellite offices enter, from the garage…still with keys and hand and winter coat on, stick the other dirty hand in a baggie of shredded lettuce– and sprinkle her e-coli leaves all over her 15 layer Artery Clogging Supreme.
 
My gag-reflex worked overtime.
 
Call me a snob, but I do not want to chow down on Pet Hair Surprise from the lady down in accounting that smells like a used urinal cake.  In the Merriest way possible, I  want you to shove your 17 layer Taco meat surprise, your Canned Jalapeño Jumble and your 176 Bean and Sour Cream Casserole right up your Yuletide hole!
 
And a Ho Ho Ho to ya, bitches!!

From the "We Off That" Files: Pour out a little likka

Posted by Fleur Delacour | Posted in trey songz, We off that | Posted on 30-11-2009

We are winding down 2009. A year of change and hope. But much of our new found clout can easily be canceled out by some of your colored cousins who continue to act like coons in the clubs. Case in point, Trey Songz (@SongzYuuup). Now, I know this young brother is swexy and all…but Imma need you Trey not to follow Jamie Foxx down his yellow brick road of cornball acts of kindness. Pouring Goose down a willing “lady’s” throat is never a good look. To put it simple, it’s corny. Kind of like wearing sunglasses in the club corny (unless you have a wonk eye, then we’ll give you a pass) Somewhere this chick’s three kids are at their grandmouva’s house downing red kool-aid from Big Lots baby bottles and learning how to curse right. If this shining example of womenhood can’t understand that aspiring to have a “celebrity” dose your face and do with 90 proof is not the move then okay…but you don’t have to feed into it. We Witches like to cut up in the club from time to time and we get it, you’re young, but this is just corny boo. Cease and desist, stat! Head to Necole Bitchie for more pictures from Trey’s 25th birfday partay!

Cornball Corner: Tiger Woods

19

Posted by Elphaba Of The Brew | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 30-11-2009

Tiger “Cablanasian” Woods has released a statement on his website regarding his fender bender following a domestic dispute with his whootie wife.

“As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore.

This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.
This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.”
Whatevs….his spin machine is in full control. In case you’ve been living under a rock here’s a breakdown of Tiger’s (@tigerwoods) shitty week:
He got caught cheating
He sped off in the middle of the night, but clearly he is a better golfer than driver, so his kissed a tree with his Escalade
His wife either was either trying to save him or finish off the job by breaking his windows with a golf club
He and his wife both refuse to talk to police
His alleged mistress has denied any involvement
A “source” who claims he talked to Tiger on Friday following the accident claims Tiger said he has to hitch a ride to Zales to buy a “Kobe Special“. When the friend inquired about what that was, Tiger alleged responded a “house on a finger”. Then he reportedly told the friend that his wife got REAL GHETTO before the accident. See, I knew there was a reason I never liked this Golfing Gump. Clearly Tiger has problems identifying with the black side of his heritage. He’s proven that time and time again and the closest he’s come to a black chick was the wait staff at his country club.  So when your wife who clearly is very upset  at your infidelity “pops off”..you equate that with someone urban or black? The world may be in awe with your well spoken non-threatning ass but you are and always will be a cornball! So go sit in the cornball corner AFTER you talk to the cops. I bet if I wrapped my car into a tree I would have some ‘splaing to do.

Brew Beauty: Robin Roberts

0

Posted by Witch Hazel | Posted in Brew beauty, Robin Roberts | Posted on 29-11-2009

Journalist, cancer survivor and all-around fab chick Robin Roberts is our eighth Brew Beauty of the Week! Robin has served as co-anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America” since 2005. She’s covered everything from Pope John Paul II to the Katrina aftermath to her latest interviews with Janet Jackson and Chris Brown. She’s a welcome face and a warm smile every morning, even when sometimes the news is not so pleasant.

On the personal side, Robin told the world she was battling breast cancer two years ago. Rather than packing up and going home, she waged her war publicly, undergoing surgery and chemo and ultimately shaving her head. Robin wrapped up her chemo and radiation sessions last year and says she’s healthier than ever. She’s looking fantastic these days (loving the short cut too, BTW) and she’s landing some of the most coveted interviews.

Here’s a look at Robin through the years…

Head to our Facebook page for our Brew Beauty gallery to see more of Robin. And while you’re there, become a fan and then follow our blog!  Drop us a line if there’s someone you’d like to see as our next Beauty of the Week!
