Doesn't Amy Winehouse look better in wax than she does in real life? This is the premiere of her likeness at Madame Toussaud's Wax Museum in London.

Golden Girl Estelle Getty Dies At 84

Estelle Getty has been affectionately known as the kooky mother of Dorothy on the sitcom hit, Golden Girls. I remember being in high school on Sunday afternoons after church I would curl up on my couch in the den and watch re-runs of Golden Girls on the Lifetime channel all day long. I was a young rambunctious teen, but I could still appreciate the humor and the issues that were raised in the show. Getty passed away yesterday morning at 5:35 am. She had been sick for quite some time, and had been fighting dementia for years. My heart and prayers go out to Estelle's family. May she rest in eternal peace.

China Is Racist! Refuses To Serve Blacks During Olympics!!!

According to THIS STORY on Shanghaiist.com, Beijing bar owners and employees have been instructed to turn Black and Mongolian patrons away from their bars during this Olympic season. Apparently, this order has been passed down by the Public Security Bureau of Beijing:

Bar owners near the Workers' Stadium in central Beijing say they have been forced by Public Security Bureau officials to sign pledges agreeing not to let black people enter their premises.

"Uniformed Public Security Bureau officers came into the bar recently and told me not to serve black people or Mongolians," said the co-owner of a western-style bar, who asked not to be named.

This is sickening and sad. It makes my stomach churn. People are usually afraid of what they do not know, and in this case that reality is looming. My parents visited Hong Kong back in 2001, and during the trip my mother said crowds of people would stop, stare and even tough her to make sure she was real. Many of them had never seen a Black person before. Some were frightened-- some were curious, all were pretty much ignorant about anything outside of their culture... Knowing these things still happen and exist in this world frightens me... We must do better!

Pharrell To Be A Baby-Daddy?

People, people, people! Pray for me. I might just catch my first assault/attempted murder case because of this week's latest rumor. I really might have to hurt somebody-- that somebody being Pharrell's new lady-friend. Usually, I refuse to write about rumors because they are mean and fruitless, but this is just too much. Page Six is reporting that Pharrell Williams (aka my soon-to-be-baby-daddy) has already knocked-up some model-type he met last year in Miami... His rep had no comment, and the "source" says Williams is very private about his personal matters so that is all we know so far... This is not how it was supposed to work. It was supposed to be me gosh darn it! I call foul! FOOOOOOUL! This is unjust, unfair, unfathomable... But oh well, life does go on.... I guess. If this is true I really do need your prayer... I'm too pretty for jail y'all! Haha.

Battle of The B*tches!

I'm giving your brain the chance to relax... This is so not news, but it's still entertaining! Omarosa got into it yesterday on the Wendy Williams show which debuted on FOX this week. During the heated interview (below), Wendy tells Omarosa she needs more than Botox for her wrinkles, and Omarosa tells Wendy she needs a better wig that doesn't sit 3 inches off of her head.... Yikes! Only in America people... Check out the claws and catfight below:

Picture Of The Day

Under the dictionary definition of idiot, you will probably see this picture. Doron Braunshtein is the idiot designer who made this shirt, and a host of others in his NYC boutique including: "Jews Against Obama", "Obama = Hitler", and "Who Killed Obama?" An unidentified female wearing the shirt was assaulted and spit on by four girls for wearing the above shirt. She is suing the designer for damages. 

Braunshtein claims that Obama is a modern-day Hitler, that he is a closet-Muslim (hmmmm, I wonder what Obama's church congregation would think of that accusation) and that Americans aren't ready for an African-American president. This fool claims he is not racist, and says that his race is the one thing he likes about Obama, because he is opening doors for other minorities.... Ok sure-- he's not racist. Because, you know slavery in this country had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with race.... Right? Yeah.... Riiiiiiiight.

Boy, STOP! DMX Arrested, Yet Again...

Earl Simmons aka DMX used to be a man I listened to, vibed to, respected and admired. Now, he's little more than a disgrace and a low-life. This weekend, DMX was arrested on identity-theft charges. Apparently back in April he had gotten some work done at a clinic in excess of $7,500. He used a fake name a false social security number, and now he has been caught. This is the 13th arrest for the troubled rapper in the last two years. The 6th arrest since May 2nd! It is a shame to see his contemporaries like Jay-Z, Swizz Beats & Jadakiss still grinding, shining, and doing their thing, while DMX just wastes away into a drug-induced oblivion with one embarrassing arrest after another. Who would have thought such a bright star would have fallen so far? For shame....

Federline Gets Full Custody Of Brit's Kids...

This past week in LA, the courts decided to give Kevin Federline full custody of his two sons with Britney Spears. Spears is happy with the decision as she is still recovering from her mental break-down, working on a new album, and getting her post-baby bod back in shape. Kevin and Britney have worked out their past issues, and are amicable. This means Britney can basically see her sons whenever she wants. I think this is one of the best decision either of them have made since they met. Britney is in no condition to care for two small children. She needs to get her stability back for good before even considering it. I'm gla the two have finally matured and decided on a solution. Federline will be receiving $20,000 per month of support from Spears. Can you say: CHA-CHING!

Picture Of The Day

Is it just me, or does my girl Foxy look a tad bit.... Dare I say it... Washed up? Beautiful as she may be, that pose and that "outfit" are truly outdated. She could have done this cover in 1997 during her hay-day... Right? But hey, I'm no judge and jury so if she likes it, we love it!
