Kanye West & Amber Rose vs. Chris Brown and Rihanna

Over the weekend, Kanye West and Amber Rose did some shopping together at Jeffreys in NYC and then hit the town for some partying at M2.

At the same time this was going on, Rihanna was photographed at Cipriani in NYC after catching Katy Perry in concert. Meanwhile, I'm hearing Chris Brown was spotted sitting outside the restaurant in a car, talking on his phone (according to TMZ). Chris and Rihanna are also staying at the same hotel. Coincedence? Possibly. Reunion? I hope not.

Gloria Velez Talks Tough

I know I said I wasn't going to post anything else about Tila Tequila (since our little disagreement), But, this video is the exception.

Via Angela Yee from Shade 45 radio, Gloria Velez claims her on again , off again boo Shawn Merriman told her he wanted a family, and they were waiting to see if she was pregnant, he went to Puff's recent all white party and was 'doing his thing acting like he was single'.

She was asked what that “thing” was that he was doing she stated, “I believe he was f*cking for sure.” Then goes on to say his partner was a “4’11 midget myspace ho non-talented bitch,” and then explains their twitter beef with Tila Tequila (the girl she was talking about).

Awww shiiiiiit!



After watching this video, I took a trip over to Tila's Twitter page and this is what I saw:

"@angelayee Girl that Whoria Valez be frontin with her one-sided story. She need to grow up and stop makin lies. Shes makin herslelf pathetic"

Dun, dun, dun...

Alfamega's Letter To T.I

Browsing on Global grind, I saw an article titled "Open Letter To TIP From Alfamega". Given what I know about Alfamega and his "snitch" label, I immediately opened the site and this is what I saw:

"Dear TIP,

Solange Cuts It All Off

I woke up this morning to a bunch of Tweets and emails about Solange Knowles' haircut. She has decided to cut it all off. Now, she's not bald, her hair is cut real low (something like Amber Rose's haircut).

Me, personally, I am ALL FOR this new look of hers. She kind of reminds me of my aunts. They have the exact same haircuts and it looks good on them, as well.

Solange is one of the most unique celebs out there. She gets 5 stars from me for this new do'.

Jay finally breaks his silence on the Chris Brown rumors and calls The Game a "groupie"

During an interview with Tim Westwood, Jay-Z denies stopping Chris from performing at the BET awards and talks about The Game (who he calls "groupie")

Chris Being Stopped From Performing: "“First let me categorically deny that, that’s not even my style. If I have a problem with Chris brown, I have a problem with Chris Brown. I haven’t said anything…live or behind the scenes. I don’t agree with what he did and that’s it…But as far as not letting him perform on BET, that’s ridiculous, that’s stupid and that’s a sucker move. I wouldn’t do it. And people commenting on rumors, that’s a sucker move.”

On The Game: “Tell me exactly what I said….(Tim: you mentioned his name, Jim Jones’ name, Dame Dash’s name…) I said I’m not talking about, this, this. I’m not…Is that a diss? ‘Oh, you hurt my feelings.’ Tell groupie to get over it…If that’s a diss, then wear that. Tell groupie to get over it.”

Be on the look out for Jay's upcoming single "Run The Town" which will feature Kanye West and Rihanna.

Chris Brown Apologizes For Assault

Kandy's Opinion: Im glad he reached out and apologized for the situation. Again, we dont really know what went on that night, so we cant judge. Sure, he was reading off of cue cards, but I feel those words came from him. Rihanna hasnt spoken out on the sitation at all, and I feel like she's playing the victim. We've all heard that Rihanna was slick at the mouth and would even hit him on occasions, so why arent we ganging up on her? I feel bad for him and her, but the apology wasnt for us, it was for Rihanna. Now, he can move on.

Sidenote- I cant wait to hear what really happened that night.

"10 Signs That She Might Not Be In2 U"

To keep in tradition with my "10 Signs..." Im gonna post "10 Signs That She Might Not Be In2 U"...

Me being a woman, yes, there have been times that a man has tried to bag me, (or whatever you kids are calling it nowadays lol)and I wasn't really into him. Me, I'm not a big fan of rejection, so I try not to flat out reject someone else (unless they deserve it). These are 10 signs I can think of off the top of my head that just might save guys some $ and heartache:

#10- You've asked the girl for her number, she gives it to you with no problem and when you call it, its the number to a chinese restaurant

#9- You ask for her number and she says she'll take yours

#8- You ask her what she's doing for the day and she says "babysitting". She's really out with another dude

#7- If you and her have been talking for a minute, but she wont have sex with you

#6- You find out shes feeling one of your friends after you already established you was feeling her hardbody

#5- You call her and someone else is always answering her phone saying "shes not here" or "shes in another state and left her phone here"

#4- She tells you shes doing one thing, but is twittering what shes REALLY doing (i.e at the movies, at a party, at the beach)

#3- She asks you to buy her material things, promises to chill with you after, but all of a sudden has an excuse as to why you have to drop her (and her new shit) back home

#2- Her friends see you, or are around you and have inside jokes, making you feel uncomfortable. She told them you were just "some dude", thats why

#1- She tells you "I think we should take it slow and see where it goes"...thats code for she doesnt want to be with you

LaToya Jackson Says Her Brother Was Murdered

According to The Daily Mail, LaToya Jackson says her brother was mistreated:

"I believe Michael was murdered. I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren't always on his side. He was worth more dead than alive. They got him hooked on drugs. He was pure and clean and then drugs came back into his system. I think it shocked his system so much it killed him. He had needle marks on his neck and on his arms and more about those will emerge in the next few weeks. I cannot discuss that any further as I may jeopardize the investigation. I can, however, say that I have not changed my mind about my feeling that Michael was murdered. It will all come out. You will be shocked."

She went on to say: "Michael was isolated from his family. He had no real friends. He was the loneliest man in the world. I knew something terrible was going to happen."

When are they gonna let this man rest?

10 Signs That He Might Not Be "In2 U"

This entry comes to you after hours of procrastination, some proof-reading and just plain ol' aggrivation.

I'm the type of person who likes to say what I mean and mean what I say. I don't like having to figure a person out. I don't feel I should have to. Its 2009, for christ sakes! Yes, this blog involves a guy, yes, I'm kinda digging him and NO, I can't figure him out. After attempting to get him, It hit me:

"Maybe He's Just Not That Into Me."

But then, I start thinking back. He was the one who came to me with it. He got our mutual friend to get in touch with me and we started talking everyday after that. No, not talking, TEXTING.

As I'm thinking about this, all the signs are popping up in my head. They've been there the whole time and all of a sudden, they are as clear as day! Not all 10 signs refer to my situation, but most of them do. Maybe they refer to you, as well.

Signs He Might Not Be Into You:

#10-If you and him are out and you happen to run into his parents, whom he introduces you to them as his "friend".

#9- He tells you he "just got out of a long relationship and he wants to take things slow". That means he's newly single and he is f****n every female he's coming in contact with.

#8- He texts you, because he "doesn't really talk on the phone". That's code for "I rather use my minutes talking to some1 else."

#7- You live pretty close to each other, but he's not making an effort to see you, or ask you to come see him.

#6- You tell your friends about him, but his friends have no idea who you are.

#5- He added you on MySpace and Facebook, but still hasn't changed his status to "in a relationship".

#4- He calls you "sexy" a lot, making you blush (all through text, mind you).

#3- You ask him what he's doing tomorrow and the answer is always something stupid like, "cleaning" or any other activity that he knows you don't want to be apart of.

#2- You don't hear from him in a couple days and when he finally hits you up, its not about how much he missed you. Its because he needs a ride somewhere.

#1- He tells you he's going to call you and your phone never riings. And on top of that, has a reason (excuse) why he didn't call you.

After reading this entry over and over, I'm thinking "what the hell am I wasting my time for"? I'm not in love with him, I only like him. And that's even in question after all of this....

Black Kids Booted From Pool

The Kids at Creative Steps Day Camp were thrilled to go swimming once a week at the Valley Swim Club. But after only one trip to the private club, they were...

"I heard this lady, she was like, 'Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?' She's like, 'I'm scared they might do something to my child,'" said camper Dymire Baylor.

The Creative Steps Day Camp paid more than $1900 to The Valley Swim Club. The Valley Swim Club is a private club that advertises open membership. But the campers' first visit to the pool suggested otherwise.
 
"When the minority children got in the pool all of the Caucasian children immediately exited the pool," Horace Gibson, parent of a day camp child, wrote in an email. "The pool attendants came and told the black children that they did not allow minorities in the club and needed the children to leave immediately."
 
The next day the club told the camp director that the camp's membership was being suspended and their money would be refunded.

Rihanna Missing Chris?

Supposed friends of Rihanna say that the situation with Chris Brown in which he was sentenced 180 days of community labor for assaulting her, has been hard on the songbird. Chris has been given five years of probation and is not permitted to be within 50 yards of her [10 yards on events]. This has reportedly made Rihanna quite unhappy.

A source tells "Now magazine", "It's so hard for her. She knows her family would freak out if she told them she wants to get on with Chris, so she has to hide her feelings."

The source also says that Rihanna was absolutely terrified to testify against Brown, "She's been a nervous wreck for weeks as she was so terrified that Chris would hate her after she testified. Whenever she starts crying, she has to pretend that she's been having flashbacks to the attacks. But it isn't that. It's because she misses him and can't believe it came to this after everything they had going. She's mad with him, but at the same time she blames herself."

According to the source, the nerves were uncontrollable before the trial, "She couldn't eat in the days before the trial. Her stomach was in knots and she was shaking. Whenever I see her out, she always has a drink in her hand – mostly champagne, but sometimes beer or shots. She's in pain and is trying to numb it out to the best of her ability."

Nivea's Baby Bump

Now that photo's of Lauren London's pregnant belly have hit the net, Nivea (baby momma #2) has been photographed out in public with her baby bump.

Its my understanding that Lauren London was pregnant first by Lil Wayne, followed by Nivea.

I can't wait to see what these kids look like. I still question the whole "lauren london" and "weezy" hooking up thing. I didn't think Weezy was her type...

Life and Times of Me

After all these months, I haven't formally introduced myself. Here goes.

I'm Kandy, I'm 22 years old (will be 23 soon) and I'm from Queens, NY. Queens, the home of Russell and Run, LL and 50...and me. I was born and raised here, spent my adolsecent years here and came in contact with some of the coolest people ever all while living here.

When I was young, I knew I was destined for greatness. Music has always been a huge part of my life. At the age of 2, my father bought me a drum set and taught me how to play the drums to Michael Jackson's "Heartbreak Hotel". From then on, I was remembering the words to songs, hearing rhythms, and reciting ad libs. Early on, I wanted to be a world-famous singer.

As I got older and into boys, I realized I couldn't sing and left my future singing career on the back burner (lol). Before my real teen years, my old friend Tiffany started coming around more and more and me and her got real close. We did a bunch of stuff together, including going up to the radio station to visit her father Ed Lover. Coming in contact with all those artists and celebrities at a young age is what made me fall in love with my new passion: Radio Broadcasting.

While at the station, I'd pay attention to the engineer and what he was doin, how long commercials lasted, whose mic goes where and what buttons on the board were which. When I graduated high school, I took off to Fort Lauderdale, FL to study Radio Broadcasting at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. My dreams turned out to be bigger than my parents' pocket, because after 6 months, I was on a plane back to Queens.

After I left school, I tried every possible way to get back there. Unfortunately, no one wanted to help. So, I never went back.

I got a job at Bloomingdale's and used to catch myself having panic attacks when I would think about the possibility of me spending the rest of my life working there. There were just too many employees working there that had been there for 20 years and were making the same $8 I was making. It was sad. I vowed that wasn't going to be me.

Since working at Bloomingdale's I've had numerous jobs. But I always found something wrong with each and every one of them. I started feeling like sitting behind a desk for 8 hours a day, or watching other people's kids was something I would be trapped doing for the rest of my life.

Fast forward to now. No longer working at LaGuardia Airport (I HATED that job with the strongest passion), I've come in contact with way more people that are in the limelight and my dream of becoming famous has been reborn.

Don't get too hyped, though. You won't see me butt naked on anyone's dvd any time soon, trying to become famous. I'm now in a place where I realize I can wear many hats.

In school, my teachers told my mother that I was a very good writer. Thinking back to elementary, I used to always write stories for homework and itd always be too long, or I'd write just to write and then show my friends, who in turn always had me writing more stories. By jhs (junior high school), I could have put together 2 books worth of short stories.

High school was no different. It was when I fell in love with writing. I'd sit in class, head all in my book, pretending I'm taking notes when really, the words and scenerio's of my stories were spilling out of my pen. I was writing the type of stories like the ones you would read in a Terry McMillan book. I knew I was talented. I wanted to get my words out there, so I started this blog.

At first, I was just blogging to blog. But now, after a couple months, I want to take it further. I want everybody to see what I have to say. I want to have a website people can come to get the facts about any and every thing. I'm getting ready to get the ball rolling and I just hope u guys are entertained by the stuff I put on here and understand that this is something I'm considering doing as a career. I know its not going to happen overnight, but I'm willing to wear that hat.

Yours truly,
Kandy~

Video's Of Mj's Memorial

Today Is The Day MJ Goes Home

Today is the day that thousands gathered inside the Staples Center to send MJ home.
Here are a few pictures from inside MJ's memorial:













The ceremony started a little after 1pm est time and started with Smokey Robinson reading letters that were written by Nelson Mandela and Diana Ross. Soon after, the audio from inside the memorial was lost, but it was eventually retrieved and continued on with words from a pastor, Queen Latifah coming out and sharing her memories, as well as reading a lovely poem written by Maya Angelou for Michael. Performers included Mariah Carey and Trey Lorenz doing their cover of "I'll Be There", Jennifer Hudson singing "Will You Be There" from the free Willy Soundtrack, Stevie Wonder did "Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer" and drifted into "They Wont Go When I Go". Usher did "Gone Too Soon", walking off the stage and going over to MJ's casket, finishing the song down by MJ and even shedding some tears (he got me crying after that). Kobe and Magic Johnson came and said some words, Martin Luther King Jr's children even had some words to share. John Mayer and his trusty guitar did a rendition of "Human Nature"...it had a good groove to it. He didnt sing, he just let us hear the music and imagine Michael's voice. Chris Brown did attend the memorial, but did not perform as everyone had hopped he would.

MJ's background singers and band ended the performances with "We Are The World" and "Heal The World"...everyone came on stage and joined in. Jermaine thanksed everyone for their prayers, Marlon spoke and shed some tears and then, MJ's daughter, Paris decided she wanted to speak.



"From the day I was born, daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine. And I just want to say I love him so much." After, Aunt Janet walked her offstage.

Inside the program of MJ's tribute, LaToya and Tito Jackson share childhood stories about him:

LaToya: “Michael, I recall you sitting on a chair, in your bedroom, staring at the television, watching the 1980 Grammy awards show, crying to me because you had won only one Grammy award and you said, 'Watch, LaToya, my next record, I am going to sell more records and win more Grammys than anyone in the history of music... I will be the biggest and the greatest entertainer of all time.' You began to write that dream all throughout your bedroom, on the walls, on the mirrors, in your books and anywhere else you could find space.... You’ve lived your dream, you’ve proven to us all that if we believe, you will achieve; you believed, and oh my did you achieve!”

Tito: “My memories of us as a family? Michael running through the house — no one could catch Michael, he was always fast on his feet. I watched as we moved from Gary [Ind.] to Los Angeles, from signing in clubs to filling stadiums. My brother Michael was always pushing it to the sky, as far as it could go. Michael put his heart and soul into his music, his family and into his work of always helping others.… I love him. Michael is always with me. We will carry the light and make the light shine again for Michael and the world.”

This truly is a travesty. RIP MJ...You will always be missed.
