Instigating Ish Fridays: Sincerity or Subliminal Shot at Shonda??

Posted by Piper from the Brew | Posted in Instigating Ish Fridays | Posted on 27-08-2010

Awww chit! Ya’ll peep how I kept it funky with that s’???? Yeah so in a recent interview, Swizz gushed on about how the  love he’s found with Madam Proactive has  made him a better man blah blah blah…….. Now if memory serves me correctly he once loved Mashonda too so does that mean that loving her made him a bad man?? I’m sure it doesn’t mean that but I can’t help but think these declarations of love are somehow meant to take shots at Shonny Shon……..

To identify that feeling is something that’s amazing because it doesn’t only come from your partner. It comes from your love for music, your love for people, your love for a lot of things, and I think that once you identify the feeling of love, you’ll be a better person,” Swizz explained. “I’m a better man. I think that having love in your life, it just has that effect. Because then you spread love. You can’t enjoy love without spreading love. I just think that it all falls in the pocket.”

Hmmmm…..

Those little singing R&B chippies need to take note. There’s a way to get your point across aboout doing the nassy, without saying, “I want to do the nassy!”.
Peep Exhibit A: Jill Scott’s, “Crown Royal”. This song gets my lady parts worked up fo sure!

Your hands on my hips
Pull me right back to you
I catch that thrust
Give it right back to you
You’re in so deep
I’m breathin’ for you
You grab my braids
Arch my back high for you
Your diesel engine
I’m squirting mad oil on
Down on the floor
Til my speakers start to boil
I flip shit
Quick slip
Hip dip
And I’m twisted
In your hands and your lips
And your tongue tricks
And you’re so thick
And you’re so big
And you’re so Crown Royal on ice

Diesel engine? Breathing for you? Um, yeah, Jilly from Philly, something tells this Witch, you’re quite the freak!

Is Your Ample Booty Keeping You Unhealthy??????

1

Posted by Piper from the Brew | Posted in brew health | Posted on 27-08-2010

This is a repost of a nearly 2 year old post but as anything related to booties goes, a butt post never gets old. Especially when you conssider all that women are doing to themselves to hefty up that part of their body. Personally as it relate to butts I think it falls into the “grass is always greener” category. I mean most men so call covet a woman with a gigantic ass, but what happens when you start feeling like that’s the only reason why their interested at all, not so fun anymore is it? I promise you having an overflow of butt meat is not that serious, what is serious is being healthy and feeling like a million bucks, no matter what your buttocks look like.

 

This question is addressed to me as well. You see one of the things I find troubling in the African American community is the myth that having extra blessings in the rump area somehow excuses you from getting your health in order. I mean let’s face it, most of our men (most, not all) love extra poundage in the booty area and because many of us base our self worth on the feedback we receive from the opposite sex we oftentimes think it’s all good to remain overweight cause we fill out a pair of jeans nicely. Now this certainly applies to me. Getting my health on track is no new journey for me, I’ve been exercising on and off for many years and to be honest I would probably be at my goal weight had I not consistently let others get in my head “girl you look great” “yeah but you carry that extra weight so well” “you are just super curvy”, I could go on and on but my point is I constantly gave up on myself because people, men to be specific insisted that what I had going on was the stuff black men’s dreams are made of. Now don’t get me wrong, I am totally sexy and I am quite fond of my figure but the truth of the matter is that there needs to be a lot less of it if I have any plans on maintaining extended health and vitality as I approach 40 years old in 2 more years.

We live in a world that gets caught up in the hype on a regular basis. The same holds true when it comes to taking charge of our health and our bodies. No one else can tell you what’s good for you but you and men drooling at your ample hind parts does not excuse the extra pounds you are carrying around. Don’t believe the hype that losing weight will cause you to lose your assets, no way, no how. I have been thinner than I am currently and trust me my milkshake still had boys coming to the yard.

It’s nice to be curvy and to celebrate those curves but it’s also nice to wake up with energy, to have joints that don’t ache, to have control over your body and how you nourish it. You don’t have to subscribe to a life of eating trees and berries, just change a little something everyday and move as much as you can. That’s all. I’m down 14lbs since June (WHOOO HOOOOO!!!!). Could have been more but as I said, I fell into the “girl your body is hot” hype and lost my focus. Won’t happen again.

BOOTYLICIOUS SISTAS UNITE AND GET YOUR WEIGHT RIGHT!

Brew Beauty: Sofia Vergara

1

Posted by Witch Hazel | Posted in Brew beauty, Sofia Vergara | Posted on 26-08-2010

Our latest Brew Beauty is Sofia Vergara. The 38 year old Colombian-born actress stars on the ABC comedy “Modern Family” (one of my faves) as Al Bundy’s Ed O’Neill’s much younger 2nd wife. She was in some Tyler Perry stuff too…but my memory is selective.

Moving right along… Hard to believe, but she’s got a 19 year old son who’s on his way to college. Vergara was almost a dentist but she quit with just 2 semesters left to become a TV host. She went on to model and eventually jumped into acting. Vergara also kicked cancer’s ass. In 2002, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and eventually had surgery and radiation to beat it. And, a little history, she’s one of only two Latina actresses up for an Emmy this Sunday night (which you can watch on NBC).

Brew Quotes: Anthony Mackie

Posted by Witch Hazel | Posted in Anthony Mackie, Brew Quotes, What's your call? | Posted on 26-08-2010

I was having a Facebook discussion yesterday about the ticket-worthiness and what one of my friends considered the predictable plot lines and wonky acting in the new T.I. ensemble flick, “Takers,” when I came across this nugget from mah boo in my head Anthony Mackie. In a Details magazine interview, he takes on the phenomenon of the rapper-turned-actor.

Details: Early in your career, you were Don Cheadle’s understudy in the play Topdog/Underdog but quit the show when Mos Def replaced him. Are you not a fan of rappers turned actors?
Anthony Mackie: I don’t go to a hospital and let the janitor perform surgery on me, you know what I mean? But if you look at what Ice Cube, LL Cool J, and Queen Latifah have been able to do, it’s ridiculous to say their talents should be disregarded because they started out in music. At the same time, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Sam Jackson these days, because young actors wouldn’t be given those roles now. The film business is destroying itself by not breeding talent or nurturing young actors—and that’s why all movies suck now.

Details: You got so frustrated a few years ago that you almost left the business altogether.
Anthony Mackie: I took a hiatus. I went back home to New Orleans and chilled out, enjoyed a few daiquiris, and built a house. I got a mask and some dirty old clothes and rebuilt an 1865 Victorian bed-and-breakfast. Sheetrock and plastering—that’s my thing. If the acting don’t work out, I’ll have a future in construction.

Sam Jackson had a similar opinion of the rapper-turned-actor a few years ago. Mackie is a Juilliard-trained actor. You probably know him from films like “Half Nelson” and the Oscar-winning “The Hurt Locker” (if you haven’t seen it yet… you should). BTW, he’s also currently testing alongside Tom Cruise for a role in “Mission Impossible 4.” I’d say, the world needs more Anthony Mackie.

Anyway… do you agree with him? Are rappers and movies like “Lottery Ticket,” “Takers,” etc… ruining the art of acting/filmmaking or are actors just jealous? What’s your call?

WTF Files?: Woman Arrested For Mastering Domain While Driving

0

Posted by Witch Hazel | Posted in masturbating frenzy, WTF? Files | Posted on 25-08-2010

Meet 36 year old Colondra Hamilton. This stunning beauty (who does your hair, girl?) was arrested by Cincinnati police for simultaneously masturbating with a vibrator, watching porn and driving last week.

Police pulled over Hamilton’s Pontiac when they noticed her windows were overly tinted (what is it with you people and dark tints? You ain’t Barack). Officers then noticed Hamilton’s pants were askew and a vibrator (was it The Rabbit?) was on her lap. That’s when she admitted to getting her rocks off while driving… a friend in the passenger seat was playing the porn on her laptop. And who says there’s a digital divide?

Hamilton was booked on a misdemeanor count of driving with “impaired alertness” and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia when cops found a broken piece of a crack pipe in her purse. I’d give this woman the Multitasker of the Year award if she was driving, watching Mr. Marcus, jerkin’ off and getting her Pookie high on at the same time. Now that would have been a feat of crackhead proportions.

“A lot of people don’t know, I was going to see Michael Jackson the day he died. I was on my way to the Staples Center that day. When I heard ‘Man In The Mirror,’ it just touched me. It wasn’t fake. I know people were trying to put extras on it, but everything was genuine. That was my ultimate apology, hands down.”

-Chris Brown, as told on BET’s “106 & Park” yesterday

Timbaland – Suicide APB?

1

Posted by Witch Hazel | Posted in timbaland | Posted on 25-08-2010

What is going on in the entertainment biz these days? TMZ is now reporting that Timbaland was the subject of a manhunt Tuesday because his family feared he may do something to harm himself over a stolen watch.

Here’s the news:

Timbaland was the subject of a manhunt yesterday after his family believed he was so distraught over the theft of a $2 million piece of jewelry he might harm himself … this according to law enforcement sources.

According to sources, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department put out a “possible suicide attempt” APB just before 5 PM PT yesterday. A helicopter and squad cars went on the hunt for the rapper/producer’s Escalade .

Here’s what we’re told happened … Timbaland was on the phone earlier in the day with his brother-in-law … deeply upset about something. We’re told one of the things that was eating at him was a theft at his Malibu residence a day before. Someone had stolen a crazy expensive Jacob & Co. watch — valued at $2 million — and Timbaland suspected it might have been someone he trusted.

Timbaland left his home yesterday and began driving. Family members couldn’t locate him, became extremely worried and called the Sheriff’s Department.

We’re told the helicopter located the Escalade, ground crews pulled Timbaland over and began talking to him. At some point they put Timbaland in a patrol car and took him to his residence, where they continued speaking with him and family members.

Deputies called for paramedics to come and evaluate Timbaland. After the evaluation, paramedics determined Timbaland was not a threat to himself and left.

The stolen watch thing is still under investigation. This whole notion of “suicide attempts” is being tossed around way too much these days. I hope no one else gets any ideas. There are a lot of impressionable people out here who may just be teetering on the edge…

UPDATE: Timbo called in to the Ryan Seacrest show today to say the whole APB thing was a mixup. He says everyone overreacted and he just took a drive to clear his head after discovering someone close to him had stolen from him. He also cleared the air about the theft, saying it wasn’t a watch. So, the future of the ‘ficky-ficky’ remix is safe…

Brew Quotes: Jenna Jameson

1

Posted by Elphaba Of The Brew | Posted in Brew Quotes, Jenna Jameson, Your Momma Must Be Proud | Posted on 25-08-2010

IJenna Jameson‘m gonna be straight up. I admire how this woman has taken her stupid teen whoarish choices and built herself an empire.  Some whoarish teens just end up used, broke or dead… or on Celebrity Rehab, unable to afford a pack of Newports (menthol of course).

“Why do people do porno tapes, sell them, make boatloads of money, then LIE about being victimized. I know one girl who sold her tape herself,” Jenna tweeted on Tuesday.

“…. I know one of the girls that acts so prim and proper and sold her tape to get famous. The others I just speculate,” she continued. “I own up to my porn, I don’t cry and say my boyfriend stole it.”

Hmmm…sounds sooo familiar, doesn’t it (The Armenian One, Kendra Wilkinson, Danielle Crazy Eyes Staub, SheWhoMakesMeBarf Hilton…)  As a sidenote, Jenna is probably totally proud of Montana BurntFish.  Ahhh, the world we live in…SMH.

Things Negroes Like: Talkin’ To Pookie & ‘Nem

2

Posted by Witch Hazel | Posted in tech talk, Things Negroes Like | Posted on 24-08-2010

Our cousins really love chattin’ on the celly. (People don’t say that anymore, do they?) A new study finds black people talk on our cell phones twice as much as white people. The Neilsen study reviewed the phone bills of 60,000 people for a year (who’s turning over their bills anyway?) and came to the conclusion that black people talk an average of 1,331 minutes per month. Damn… and I just just switched to an unlimited plan. I’m totally behind the curve here. Anyway, the study found whites used their mobile phones for 647 minutes per month, making them the least Chatty Cathys by comparison.

Black people also get quite a thumb workout. We text more than our white homies: 780 messages per month, compared to their 566.

Researchers say the reason our folks use cell phones so much could be because fewer of us have landlines at home. The study also says women talk 22% more on our cell phones than men…probably, talking about them. Go figure!

The bigger questions here: why is big brother tracking how much we talk? And who are the Negroes calling so much anyway?
