Kimberla Lawson Roby @ Borders Books

Alicia Black is back! The pampered, privileged daughter of the irrepressible scoundrel Rev. Curtis Black and protagonist of Kimberla Lawson Roby’s New York Times bestseller The Best of Everything, Alicia makes her triumphant return in Be Careful What You Pray For. Alicia is newly remarried, to a man of the cloth who unfortunately mirrors far-too-closely her rascally dad. The Reverend Black himself, star of Sin No More, Too Much of a Good Thing, and other popular Roby novels, co-stars in Be Careful What You Pray For—a tale of love and ambition that once again deals with important issues as it tells a witty, moving, page-turning story, a bestselling combination that is a Kimberla Lawson Roby hallmark. Courtsy of Harper Collins

New York Times Best Selling Author Kimberla Lawson Roby signed her latest scribe "Be Careful What You Wish For" at Borders Books in Meyerland Park this evening to a line full of fans. This is Ms. Roby's fourteenth book, and judging from the folks in line it's going to be flying off the shelves.


Pic 2> Terolyn has read all thirteen books and can't wait to dive into this one! "Be Careful What You Wish For" sounds like a real page turner. Go out and pick a copy up!!!

Book Club anyone???

Luv ya ;>

Houston for Haiti Benefit concert

Houston for Haiti Relief Concert was a success last night. Bun B raised a considerable amount of money for the country of Haiti. The audience defintely got a deal for the cost of $10. World renowed Houston artist came out to lend their gift of music to the cause. I applaud Bun B. for his humanitarian purpose. May your career and life continue to be blessed as you contiune to bless use with your talent.

SOCIAL PRIVY M&M (MEMORABLE MOMENT) Wicked Crickett closed the concert out with a prayer. It was a beautiful moment as I looked out across the audience and saw people holding hands with heads bowed. Priceless. That is what our brothers and sisters need most of all, so please continue to keep Haiti in your prayers

Bun B spoke to the audience from his heart about his dedication to the victims of the Haiti Earthquake.

The lovely lady who produced the event. Great job...well done!

I really had to sleep on whether I was going to address this issue or not... However I woke up with the situation still fresh on my mind. I was offended by a monkee @ss that was working the door. First he told me I couldn't bring my camera in because only approved press could take pics. (umm ok. In my mind im like, whateva dude. No Biggie... I get that type of block often. )

However I truly got pissed off when he Debo'd me after I paid my ticket. (All proceeds go to Haiti Relief so I wasnt mad about buying ticket.) It was when this monkey stood in front of me and said you have to give another monetary donation to go through VIP. Now I had no idea that I was in some sort of a VIP line. Plus I know this individual and thought surely he was joking.

Me> Ha Ha yeah alright I bought a tkt.

Monkee @ss > Everyone who goes in VIP has to make another monetary

donation.

Now, I'm scratchin' my head because it kinda feels like I'm being political robbed. I have donated to Haiti everyday since the earthquake clothes, money and time at the multi-culture center etc. But guess what I will comply with this charity extortion it is for a good cause. Although I really have to say the tacky way in which it was done makes me feel uncomfortable about whether my extra monetary donation is going toward Haiti relief or Monkee @ss's personal weed fund. Dude demanded the money and he was a big burly Ninja and had a death grip on the money he was holding in his pimp slappin hand. I stood there blinking and feeling the pressure and gave in although I didnt like being manhandled to donate money.

All of the aforementioned I can deal with because I'll say it again "It's for a good cause!!!" It's what happened next that pissed me off... While waiting in line I saw not one, not two, but at least twenty-five homeboys and a gang of groupies roll up on some ol "Hey, I'm... on _______" (you fill in the blank) C'mon yall it's $10!!! Really? And Monkey @ss doorman lifted the velvet rope and in they went. I'm like "For Reals"... Do the people in Haiti need coochie juice... because that is all a gang of groupies have to contribute. You gave me 15 minutes of grief for what? Oh yeah to fill your ego cup to brim so you can buzz yourself up and throw your ego around.

As I'm writing this it has dawned on me that the homeboys paid their way into venue with another form of payment... I forgot about the good ol redeemable "Coochie Coupon." Makes sense to me know. Each Groupie was worth $2.50 so each homeboy needed to bring four groupies to pay his way in. Smart. (Mental note to self make some groupie friends.)

Well you know what they say.... One monkey don't stop no show.. But it's always one monkey beatin' on his chest and swingin his arm tryin to convince others that he is King Kong. Boy get off of your Empire State of Mind and sit yo Monkey @ss down somewhere.

Me... Jane. You... Cheetah!!!

*beating on my own chest* AAAGGH ee OOOO ee AGGGH!!!!

Bun B. Presents Houston 4 Haiti ~ 100% of Proceeds to Benefit CARE
with Bun B, Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Candi Redd, Lil' O, Trae, Just Brittany, The Party Boys, ESG,Young Problems, Cory Mo Doors 4pm • Show 5pm @ Warehouse Live

CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. CARE is continuing to rush aid and emergency team members to Haiti following the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck the impoverished country on Tuesday, January 12th. The quake's epicenter was just 10 miles south of the country's capital, Port-au-Prince, home to some 3 million people, the majority of whom live on less than $2 per day. Up to 50,000 people are feared dead, and many more have lost their homes in the most powerful quake ever recorded in the country – the poorest in the Western Hemisphere.

CARE has launched an international appeal for funds for Haiti to immediately start emergency operations, but the full extent of this catastrophe still is not known. Communications have been significantly damaged in the disaster, but there is no doubt that the needs will be urgent. Many buildings, including essential services like hospitals, have been destroyed – meaning this disaster is a growing catastrophe. What we do know is that millions of people in this impoverished nation have been affected, and they need your help.

Vivica Fox Hollywood Royalty comes the Houston

Vivica Fox & Vince Young chillaxin and parlaying in VIP. Ms. Fox is a professional, unlike the many other so-called celebrity host that breeze through the scene 5 minutes to 2 a.m. Viv' chatted and posed for pics with style and grace. She is a stunning and remarkable woman in person however I get the notion that it is whats inside of her that radiates far above her additional physical tweaks. It's unfortunate that Hollywood puts such pressures on women to alter natural beauty. None the less Vivica Fox's personality and work ethic will take her further then her looks will. I was particularly moved watching her pour her heart out about a failed relationship with lil boy 50 Cent. (I remeber when that super-ego enduced fool gave her cell number out live on air at 97.9 the Box.) But THANK YOU JESUS!!!! For fathers that give their lil girl's sage advice about boys. Vivica stated that it was her father's advice that got her through the break up... “He didn’t make you and he sure ain’t gonna break you”.

OH Yeah one last thing before I go... Please que music *Im going in...Im going in* (BTW Im not adressing Steve Francis, its always a tacky homeboy that ruins a real celebrities image.) Listen up you monkee @ss ninja. You have way too much estrogen. Your estrogen level is too damn high and I know because I AM A WOMAN. The next time you say something off the wall to me I will make like Michael Jackson reincarnated and moonwalk all cross and round yo VIP section. Let me privy you to the real estate game... That lil square piece of area you purchased to place your bottles and what not does not have any equity at all... AT ALL. You don't own it therefore I can stand where da f' I want. I must refer to the the legendary Rick James ala Dave Chapelle "They should've never gave you ninja's money. F' yo VIP Ninja" *moonwalkin away*

Ps> Sorry for the extra large pics... using another computer.

Charlie Murphy

Ali ripped the stage and killed the audience with his quick fire wit putting the out a hater's smoke as he attempted to heckle him about his Charlie Brown sweater. I literally fell out of my chair when he spoke of how his little girl picked up some foul phrases she overheard him say and repeat them. "Daddy, Didnt you hear me witcha Funky @SS!!!"

Freeze Love was hilarious, absolutely hilarious!!! I could totally identify with being mistaken for Latina whenever Im in NYC. People constantly walk up to me and go off in Spanish. When I tell them I don't speak spanish, it's almost like you've slapped their mama... "Ju dont speak agh no, no, espanish?? I was actually touched by a story he shared about his aprehension with performing in AL-A-BAMA as he imitated the sounds of a run-a-way slave being chased by Skeeter & Bubba to the realization of MLK's dream as he watched two lil boys one white one black play in the pool of his posh hotel. It was at that moment he realized how real MLK's dream is. How appropriate on this holiday weekend?

Headliner Charlie Murphy sold out The Improv all three nights of his tour. His set was filled with jokes about everything from race to politics. Of course he spoke on his legendary role on the Dave Chapelle show. Murphy shared experiences of having his name amplified by the world. "No one says my name anymore, everyone yells my name... CHARLIE MURPHY." (Im partial to DARKNESS.) Another True Hollywood story... Murphy recalls even bums on the streets of San Francisco rise out of druken stupors to chant his name CHARLIE MURPHY!!!!

I caught up with the stand up guy backstage and we chopped it up about his future. He is currently promoting his book "The Making Of A Stand Up Guy" which can be picked up at your major bookstores. I reminisced about the first time I saw him on the big screen in Mo Betta Blues and Harlem Knights and asked him which he preferred acting or comedy. Comedy was his answer. I personally would love to see him have his own variety show. HELLO COMEDY CENTRAL!!!! Get on it. Before parting Murphy expressed his love for the city of Houston because Houston always gives him love.

I first met Charlie Murphy last year through a family member and mutual friend (What up Rich!) and definately respect his craftsmanship. Being a comedian is much like a athlete... there is endurance, timing and punches and Ali, Freezelove and Charlie Murphy have them all. Good Luck to you in your future career endeavors and I look forward to working together again soon.
