I hope you didn’t send Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries a wedding gift. After 72 days, that marriage is dunzo! K-Dash filed for divorce today citing the standard “irreconcilable differences.” Humphries reportedly found out about the divorce from the media – NOT his estranged wife. Damn, that’s cold, Tush.

E! was also taken by surprise by the divorce news:

“All of us at E! are surprised and saddened by this news. And we send our support to Kim and Kris at this difficult time.

The Kardashians have always been uniquely open with all aspects of their lives from joyous events to intimate moments to heartbreaking transitions. E! will continue to share the fascinating real lives and larger-than-life existence of this close-knit family.”

All shooting has wrapped on the 50-11 shows the Kardashians do for E!, so it’s not clear if we’ll get to see how the divorce fallout affects the family (assuming anyone in this family actually cares). E! actually held an emergency meeting to map out the shows’ futures.

If you want to re-live the wedding moment, E! is re-airing the wedding special Monday and Tuesday.

Kim and Kris took home an $18 million dollar paycheck (and almost $200K in gifts) from the wedding. #winning

Gangsta move, Momma Jenner!

Do you think the expiration date has hit for the Kardashian klan? Was this fake wedding the final straw? More importantly, do you care? What’s your call?

Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake and The Roots are at it again. After giving us two solid histories of rap, the two added a third installment on Fallon’s show on Friday. They sprinkled in some West Coast with verses from Ice Cube, JJ Fad, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Snoop and much more.

Are you missing Vera De Milo? Wishing cross-eyed Wanda would rock your world? Wondering if the overworked Jamaicans are still looking for more work? Well, Fox has the remedy for that…sorta. The network is planning to air two In Living Color specials next year. Keenen Ivory Wayans will produce the half-hour specials, which are being marketed as a new take on the sketch comedy show. The revived In Living Color will feature a new cast of young talent but will keep to the old formula of having musical guests. Fox has the option to pick up the show for a full season next fall. And as a kid who actually taped all the episodes on my VCR-ah, I sure hope they do pick it up.

Hopefully, this does better than Affion Crockett’s show, which was cute but lacked meat beyond the “Hustles with Russell” sketches.

Are you excited about a possible In Living Color series return?

The VH1 Divas lineups in recent years have kinda sucked. Someone got the memo though because this year’s lineup is pretty good. The “divas” will be celebrating some of America’s most soulful cities… and you know soul = loud singing ladies! Enter… Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson and Brew Beauty Jill Scott, among others. And The Roots will be the house band with our buddy (*wink*) Questlove as musical director.

Hey Dudes!! Let’s get right to it, shall we?

Here’s the Scenario: So let’s say a girl is casually dating a guy. Things were going well, then all of a sudden the calls slow down and dates get further apart. 

He says he’s busy at work.  Is that a cop-out and the girl has simply been moved down in rotation?

If so, is there any way possible to get your place moved back up or do you just chalk it up and move the hell on?

 

 

It’s What I Said It Was, Now stop asking questions, Trollup!

                                                  

SUpreme: My response will probably be way more boring than the other guys – it just means I’m busy. Seeing as I don’t tend to lie, if I say I’ve been busy, I’ve really just been busy.  If a woman had been moved down in the rotation, I’d just tell her I didn’t feel like getting together as much and maybe we could see each other from time to time. If she asked me if I was exploring other options and I was – I’d tell her that.  How could she move back up the “rankings”? Not sure for me personally – usually, I lower emphasis on a woman when I find something I dislike about her or realize we really aren’t a good fit.

 

Could be…Could be, Not.

Rev Real:  It’s not necessarily a cop out. He really could be busy at work. What the female has to do is look for other signs more indicative of being put on the bench. Have the sessy times been reduced/cooled off? Is he hanging with his crew more than usual? But the real answer comes from clear communication. ASK him. If he lies about it, then that’s your cue to move on to someone worthy of your attention and affection. If he keeps it real, then you have your marching orders so to speak (i.e. Give me space, be freakier, etc.) that say, “put me in, coach.”

What females have to realize is the once the thrill of “the kill” (the cat, that is) is gone, she’s got to ratchet up her efforts to keep his attention. With 10 females for every dude is most areas, it’s easy for another female to saunter in and take his attention away from you.

 

Philp:  The answer to the first question could honestly go either way… Perhaps he IS busier with his work and doesn’t have much attention necessary for extra-curricular activities, while just the same it could mean that his interest has faded. The difference is in the clues given during the run-up to it, and this requires a level of honesty with yourself.

-Have you been boring the hell out of the dude with incessant talk of things that are of little interest to him?

-Do the two of you have ANYTHING in common?

-Did you order from the wrong side of the menu on a dinner date and proceed to NOT–… wait, I ain’t going there.

If he was legitimately busy with work, then getting back up in the rotation is possible, even probable if you were that interesting to begin with. If the work thing was an excuse then just charge it to the game and move on.

Girl, Bye!

 

Gross Dude: She’s been demoted.  She must have done something wrong (or not right) and someone else a tad bit more intriguing for the month has been promoted.  But she’s not out the picture.. that being said… she should move on..Because the woman that replaced her that month will be demoted in 30 days as well.

 

 

 

Elphaba:  So there you have it, ladies.  If something seems ‘off’ to you… ASK. Or if you’re dating Gross Dude, just move on.  Apparently he  is NEVER too busy to lay you on down.

Also, seems like once you’ve been moved down on the rotation… chances are likely that you wont be moved back up.

Brewchies, have you ever been given the ‘I’m just soo busy’ speech and found it was bulljive? Did you confront the person, step up your attempts to get them re-interested, or just let go let flow? 

The Food Network  used to have shows that made the average person want to cook a homemade meal, probably the best thing you can do for your wallet and your health.  Even if the hosts were hot messes the food actually made you WANT to make it.  If  I could deal with the big boobied sensually licking her fingers, Brit Nigela Lawson or even the uber annoying hyper perky Rachel ‘Yummo’ Ray, it was a  channel where I could say “Ooh I can make that!” and impress whatever dude who’s skins I was tapping at the moment (don’t judge me).  Plus, I really just enjoy the whole process of cooking.   It was a win all around. 

It seems that the quality of shows has declined drastically.  The fact that the smarmy Guy Fieri, gets basically an entire afternoon of programming dedicated to him is mind boggling. Yet, I find myself transfixed.  From his clammy fried cheeto colored skin to that horrible nuclear reactor coif, and slight dooshy demeanor, I’m stunned into leaving the channel right where it is. 

Sometimes some of his restaurant visits do look quite yummy, there was  once a grilled seafood joint in Cali somewhere that made me wanna  Google the hell outta them, and even a bar that served really upscale ‘bar food’….. but then there is THIS.  This shit is disgusting. We wonder why we’re seizing out on private airplanes and stroking out at the mall?

Jesus be a triple bypass.

 

Seriously dude?

 

Those Remy weave loving Braxtons are back for more. Season two of Braxton Family Values picks up where season one left off, with Toni moving to LA, Traci still searching for musical relevance, Towanda and Trina still sorta married but not happy and Tamar bringing the truth-dot-com-dot-net-dot-edu-dot-life. This season, Miss Evelyn finds herself a new man friend. Owww!

The pimpin’ can’t stop, won’t stop. The Kardashians have filed documents for a patent and trademark on the name “Kardashian Kollection Home.” They plan to use the name on everything from towels to sheets, kitchenware and window blinds. Soon, you’ll be able to swaddle yourself on the couch in a Kardashian bed spread while you watch Kim do her bidness on a bed spread. See what I did there?

It’s not clear when the Kollection will hit stores, or terlits, near you.

50 Cent is one of the few names in hip hop who can move through the world of rap just as easily as he can Wall Street. Fiddy did a little sweep of NBC’s networks this morning, appearing on the The Today Show and CNBC’s Power Lunch to talk about his new projects. He’s still working on an album and he’s got the headphones he’s pitching, plus a book and a philanthropic project in Africa about which he really seems passionate.

Beyonce is dropping videos with the speed Osama used to drop mix tapes. She’s back with a peek of the video for “Party,” which used to feature a hot verse from the scrumptious Andre 3000. The video version will include The Roc’s new face, J Cole instead. I’m a little meh on that. Actually, I’m full of a wholelotta meh about that decision, but it’s still a cute song.

The video premieres Wednesday on BET’s “106 & Park” (please don’t make me Google to find out when that comes on).

You diggin’ the video?

 So, I gave my sister a bit of a side eye when she dropped yet another unsolicited hair product recommendation via IM.  ”Miss Jessie’s Quick Curls, buy it!’ .  The last Miss Jessie’s product I used was a gifted tub of Curly Pudding, that worked well but just had a strong grapeish scent.   I’m extremely scent sensitive and just couldn’t hang.  But, finding myself in Tarjay the same night, and needing something for my ‘do. I said ‘Fug it.’ and picked up a tube.  I opened it, it smelled faintly of lemons, which is great, for me. Citrus are really the only kind of scents I can stand for too long.  Read the back…and they claim it’s for ALL types of curls. Ohhh, I’ll be the judge of that, Lady Jess, I’ll be the judge of that!! I present to you 2 types of curls 1 product! GAME ON!

 

Linzo No Benzo:  I’ll admit I am a serious product junkie and have tried every product claiming to be exclusively for curly hair except Miss Jessie’s because of the stank smell and outrageous prices. However, I had the Product Junkie Pookie itch to experiment with something new and picked up a sample size for 10 bucks (regular size a whopping $34.00) of Miss Jessie’s Quick Curls. I’ll admit I instantly fell in love, as my curls formed instantly! The product has a faint lemony scent that actually fades after a few hours. For best results, apply to damp hair or use a spray bottle filled with water and your favorite essential oil and spray sections of your hair. Deposit a dime-size amount into your palms, lightly rub your hands together and apply to your hair from root to tip keeping your hands clasped in the form of praying hands. Scrunch ends and continue praying and scrunching for every section of your hair.  Finally, let hair air dry or use a diffuser on cool for extra volume and bounce.  EXTRA: For extra hold, apply a teensy dab of Kinky Curly Custard on top after your hair has dried and curls have formed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ELPHABA:  My curls are always on PrewFro status, so more than looking for something to form them, my goal is find products that maintain the natural curl while avoiding the 3pm frizzies. I’m a little more of a wild card than my sister, so I squeezed a Sacagawea Golden Dollar  sized amount (you gotta do big things, son!!) in my palm, and raked through my curls with my fingers (I didn’t pray as much, since I did my Buddhist chanting when I first woke up), while my hair was slighly more moist than damp. Hit it with the diffuser…what heat setting? Who cares. DRY THAT ‘isht, I’m late for work!  Concentrating on the roots, cause I likes it BIG, I leave the ends a little damp and let them dry naturally. Cause, that’s how I roll! So, anyways, it’s 1pm, fully dry and me likey!   The curls are shiny and defined.  So Miss Jessie’s Quick Curls.. you’re a win. 

Next question…anyone know of a good waxer?
