Happy Birthday Latoya!

Estelle and Latoya getting down for her birthday crown! (I'm so glad to see that Latoya didn't have a tacky beggin' for birthday cash corsage on! very grown and sexy birthday look.)It's ya Birthday It's ya Birthday! Looks like Latoya had a great birthday at Bambou last night! She attended Estelle's concert and headed out for a night of of champagne toast and treats at Bambo...I wonder if later on she joined Estelle and crew at one of "Houston's world famous" after hours spots ;> lol for some real booty shaking! Social Privy Clue>Anybody in from out of town in the urban entertainment industry always pays homage to this night spot when they come through Houston. I can't count the times I've had A&R reps and journalist visit and make the request to roll through.)
Pic 1>Vince Carter dropped by to give the Birthday luuv! Pic 2>Mims gave the crowd an impromptu performance.

Latoya is our very own H-Town Chick. I absolutely love her for supporting Houston the way that she does through her business endeavors such as Lady Elle Boutique. Most of all I admire and applaud her faith and perseverance in the entertainment industry she's definitely on top of her game. Y'all let's be sure and show our support for H-Town's chick when she drops her CD Lady Love April 7.
Ok got the politics out of the way now for the real ish'... First off Thanks to Necole Bitchie in ATL I was able to get photographs of this event because I encountered some conflict at the door of Bambou. I struggle with this I swear I do... Promoters in Houston are...well let me just say they are what they are I don't want to get deep because I understand it's a business but sometimes it's not that crucial. I was at a wonderful event at the Foundation Room in The House of Blues and left to cover this event only to turn around because I did not feel like going through the "I'm so special Olympics" you have to go through sometimes to gain entry into "Flash Flyer promoted events." It just makes me scratch my head like I was just at The House of Blues Foundation Room (mind you the minimum membership is $2500) chillaxin and power networking with a great group of people and now I'm catchin' Hell at Club Bambou. I was thinking is it just me... until I got home and was checking Twitter out and read someone going through the same thing with the same folks. (What's even crazier is special invited guest Estelle was asking where this individual was on Twitterberry. NUTS!) Anywho like I said before...it's a business I respect that. I'm mad at myself for not making better choices should stayed my @ss at The House Blues Foundation Room on the other hand it was Tuesday night (5o cent wings) @ Buffalo Wild Wings around the corner. Sounds like an open invitation to me!

Estelle and Kid Cudi at The House Of Blues

Kid Cudi kicked the night off. I luv watching the fans interact with the artist...they knew every single lyric. That must be a wonderful feeling.


Fire! Is all I can honestly say about Estelle's performance tonight...She is definately a true artist. Grammy Award winning Estelle showcased her vocal range and talent throughout the night as she treated guest to tracks from her Shine Cd.
One of my favorite highlights from the show was her interaction with the audience and band members. I really got a kick when she invited a few people from the crowd to join her on stage. (One guy had a chance to dance with Estelle and got a case of stage fright...poor baby I know he's kickin' himself right now ;>)Of course the crowd went wild when she performed American Boy however I'm gonna say this to those of you who get stuck on one song and don't explore the full scope of the artist... Big mistake! Estelle gave the crowd a taste of everything reggae, soul, ol school you name it... Estelle gave the bizness! http://estellemusic.com/
(Girlfriend is gorgeous...I absolutely luuved your outfit and the shoes were FIERCE!)

Weekend Wrap up



Erykah Badu did her thang at the Arena Theatre Friday night! It's always good to see our talented cousins from D'Town. Bruce Bruce killed it at the Improv all weekend long...I'm telling you people... seeing a comedian perform stand up on screen doesn't compare to live in the flesh especially when they start in on some fool in the crowd. (Ha Ha! Mike I told you to duck.) Solange Knowles wined things down at Boheme wine bar with friends after an awesome sold out performance at the rodeo. (I see ya doing "you" chicka...keep it going. Seriously some of y'all are sleeping on Solange checkout some her tracks http://www.blackvoices.com/entertainment/the-bridge-solange


Satuarday me and the girls had a night out in the tre'. Third Ward is becoming quite the lil' social scene lately with the all of the lounges and bars springing up. I heard about a new place called Tee's Lounge and decided to check it. Tee's lounge is located on Southmore across the highway and I have to give y'all the Denny's land mark so you'll know exactly which part of Southmore I'm talking about. This spot is unlike "The Spot" down the street at Tee's the crowd is more geared toward the young hood. It's a place where you don't have to throw on your best rags everyone is laid back and most of all it's a place where you can see how to do The Halle Berry, Rack Daddy, Stanky leg and da ichty coochie (ok the last one I made up but if people will do a dance called the Stanky Leg it's only a matter of time before the do the itchy coochie.)


Luv ya;>

Chris Brown's day in court



Chris Brown will be arraigned in a Los Angeles Courthouse today. The RB singer was charged with two felonies, assault casing bodily injury and making a criminal threat.


FOX 11 in L.A. obtained LAPD detectives notes from a search warrant in the case. According to the notes, Rihanna read a three-page text message on Brown’s phone from a woman. An argument ensued and Brown allegedly tried forcing Rhianna out of the car but couldn’t because she was wearing her seat belt. Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna’s head against the passenger window. When Rhianna turned to face him, Brown punched her, then continued punching her while driving, according to the detective’s notes. Blood spattered all over Rhianna’s clothing and in the interior of the car. Her mouth was filled with blood. Brown allegedly told Rhianna, “I’m going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see.”


LAPD detective Andrews described Brown's blows as causing Rihanna's mouth to fill with blood. He also writes that Brown tried to choke Rihanna after she took the keys to his car away. Andrews wrote that Rihanna nearly lost consciousness but also tried to fight back while in the car, at one point trying to gouge at Brown's eyes.


Okay folks a three page text? Damn that was one thirsty bitch! First of all you know that what happened next was more then a heated argument. I'm sorry but I bet that's when Rhi-Rhi threw a cheap pop upside the head, or a finger to the forehead, a slap to cheek...the list of possibilities goes on and on. When you confront your dude about his jumpoff he doesn't usually retaliate with a shove or a punch. He usually says some fly shit or pull reverse psychology...which infuriates you to want to bust the windows out the car or better yet snatch some lambo keys out of an ignition. The best place to confront someone about some bullish is in a car because they can't walk away. (How da hell do you punch someone while you are driving. Everyone knows if your gonna get some sucka punches in that's the best time to do it because they are focused on driving.) At the point that you turn violent is when he feels vindicated to tell you to get the hell out of his car. Which further infuriates you... Aggh yeah mofo! I wanna see ya make me get out this bitch!. That's when all hell breaks lose.


Chris Brown did put his hands on her that is obvious and I don't condone that kind of behavior. But...here's my point I feel she put her hands on him to. C'mon a three page text Lawd knows what she read. She was probably thinking "and I'm the one walking around with volcanic cold sores and everyone talking about I gave you something." I'm a woman and were are very passionate in the heat of the moment. When I was young I've popped a dude or two. Bottom line male or female you shouldn't put your hands on another person in the heat of an argument. Especially a man, my daddy always told me if you hit a man you better fight better and smarter then a man. I'm not taking anyone's side I just know that there is always three sides to a story his, hers, and the truth...the truth is always stranger then fiction.


Chrihanna Updates:
The tabloids are reporting that Chris Brown & Rhianna got married in Miami and that the pop princess is pregnant. Perez Hilton contacted Rhianna's Publicist and their response was "Sorry for the delayed response, but we aren’t able to offer anything right now but will keep you in posted if that changes." Hmmm...if the two are married she can't testify against him. Oh well, this is turning out to be my fav hood soap opera. Stay tuned!


Luv ya;>
