The RETURN of BET's UNCUT

BET recently dropped some big news on its viewers and that is the return of their infamous show "UNCUT". I honestly can not think about my childhood without reminiscing about the BET UNCUT days. BET uncut was considered to be forbidden territory for young people back in the day. That definitely didn't stop us from staying up late to catch the raunchy videos. The show aired from 2001-2006 and was the center of much controversy. 

The show was known for showing video's such a Nelly's "Tip Drill" and Mystikal "Shake It Fast" basically the depictions of a female derrière is the main attraction. It's reported that videos such as Nicki Minaj's Anaconda will be shown on the the new UNCUT. 

UNCUT is set to return on Tuesday 11 August 2015 at a much earlier time than in its past history. I personally think they are going to have to adjust the time and push it to after midnight. 

Many viewers are ecstatic about the return of the show 

Although there are many who are excited there are just as many who are not here for the raunchy over sexified music videos 

My question is WHY is it being brought back. What makes the show so worthy of being revived. Is there a need for UNCUT and what is gained by bringing this show back when we have the Internet at our fingertips to watch what we want. 

I'm interested in seeing the outcome of the revival and will definitely be tuning in. I'm grown now so why not watch it.. I might learn a thing or two about twerking. I seriously need to step my game up. 

What do you all think about the return of BET's UNCUT

Tina Knowles Lawson covers the Ebony Magazine #SexyForeverIssue

I 

Y'all know I love me some good ole Beyonce related news. I was elated to here that Mama Tina (the nickname the Beyhive gave her, I'm going to have to refer from using Mama Tina in the blog but just know that's what I call her) was gracing the July cover of Ebony Magazine. Something like this was definitely overdue and I'm happy she has the opportunity to share her story. Mrs. Tina Knowles Lawson. She's the mother of Beyonce Knowles Carter and Solange Knowles Ferguson ( The daughter of Agnez Dereon and Lumus Beyince). She 's a fashion designer and a hairstylist at heart. 

Add caption

Mrs. Tina recently remarried this past April to actor Richard Lawson and the wedding looked amazing. Along with becoming a wife again, Tina has been able to embrace becoming a grandmother for a 2nd and 3rd time with the births of Blue Ivy and Titan. 

Tina is showing us how much finer things get with time

This particular issue of Ebony Magazine is entitled the "#SexyForeverIssue and highlights on how Mrs Tina is 61 and can still bring the fire. She truly does look absolutely amazing. We definitely see who gave Beyonce Giselle and Solange Piaget their fabulous looks. 
Being offered this particular cover/issue came as a surprise to Mrs. Tina


"When I was asked to do the Sexy Forever ‘Ebony’ magazine cover, my first question was, ‘Me really?’ I had some reservations but as I thought of all the women who tell me daily that I have inspired them to live a wholehearted life, which includes your sexuality. I am proud to be 61 years old and to not be putting limitations on my lifestyle. We can still be sexy and vibrant, fashionable, classy and fly until the day we die!”"

To set the stage for her April 2015 nuptials, the family created a private, feature length movie: The Life & Times of BadAss Tenie B & ColdAss Rickey Lee. The release came complete with a red carpet event. Part blaxsploitation spoof, part anthropological family documentary, the film confirms that the story of Knowles Lawson’s life—and her self-possessed “sexy”—began long before the world encountered her gifted offspring. Born in Galveston, Texas, where the Freedman’s Bureau was headquartered after slavery was abolished, and a few hundred miles from mystical New Orleans, where her family is from, one can sense that the newlywed has always conjured a kind of Free Black Woman Magic.

In an exclusive EBONY interview, the enigmatic bombshell lovingly references her “first family” of entertainment and opens up about her life. The last of seven siblings, each of whom has one of four variations of the same last name Boyance (“The hospital told my mama be happy we even got birth certificates.”) “Tenie B,” her nickname since childhood, shares that she was mistreated by Black nuns in elementary school, took off solo to California at 18, and by 34, with little ones in tow, opened one of the biggest, baddest Black hair salons Houston had ever known. In an hours-long interview, and while snuggled under chenille blankets and gazing out at the spectacular view of Hollywood from her home, Knowles Lawson details the major phases of her life that include mothering a global phenom and her multifaceted fashionista sister. Most important, she says, she’s doing all this while still living her own damn life.

I really admire the strength of "CELESTINE BEYINCE" (I bet y'all didn't know that was her government name) One day I hope to thank her personally for raising such amazing daughters and role models. I'm pretty sure Matthew Knowles is somewhere crying in the corner and regretting doing Mama Tina wrong ( he lost a good one ) 

I look forward to what Mama Tina, aka Empress Creole, aka The Original Queen Bey words of wisdom in this issue and what she has for or us in the future

The Beyhive wasted no time creating fabulous designs of Mama Tina and her family check them out below

Attention all Gladiators SCANDAL returns this fall

Thursday nights are usually an exciting one in the household of many African Americans across America. We love the show and the suspense that it brings. According to my facebook, twitter, and instagram timelines more than half of the people I know are obsessed with the show and the secret but not so secret love affair that goes on between Olivia Pope and the President.

 

We live in an age where a happy modern day family just does not rock our socks anymore. We need lies, cheat, and deceit to get us talking and the writer of Scandal " Shonda Rhimes" gives us just that.

No need to wait any longer because season 4 awaits your viewing on Thursday September 25, 2014.
Just a heads up sadly Harrison will not be returning this season due to the fact that he was fired from the show. Columbus Short's recent arrests and incidents show that we might need to say a prayer for the brotha.
Also check out the entire line up of ABC shows that are scheduled for this upcoming fall.

Beyonce and JayZ "On The Run Music Trailer "

Beyonce is infamous for dropping big hits as if her product is not about to turn the world upside down and inside out. In late April she announced the she would be going on a Summer tour throughout the United States and the tour would be a joint collaboration with her husband JayZ. The Summer tour is entitled "On The Run" and will be one of the  highlight of Summer 2014

 Saturday night 17 May 2014 Bey released what looks to be a movie trailer entitled "RUN" which was inspired by her and JayZ's song On the Run and their upcoming summer tour. The trailer depicts a couple who are obviously madly in love with one another who appear to be involved in some underground illegal related buiness They then proceeds to rob a bank and go on the run. Two lovers living out some vague fantasy as they duck and dodge the law.

The trailor has an amazing cast to go along with the action packed thriller, check out the star studded cast below.

Sean Penn

Don Cheadle
 

Jake Gyllenhaal
 

Blake Lively
 

Guillermo Díaz

Emmy Rossum
 

Rashida Jones and Kidada Jones
 

The trailer received many praises but of course there's always someone who has to try to dim the light when others are shining brightly. Some of the negative comments that I have observed are that the preview looks too violent, Beyonce can't act, and then the usual Bey and Jay are overrated.


Let me break a few things down for those who have someting negative to say. First off of course the trailer is going to be violent, the song and tour are called "On the Run" did you think they would be running through a field of flowers. Please think things through before you try to be the sour apple in the bunch. Im sure the people making these comments are the same people who watch violent movies such as Kill Bill, gladiator, and 300. Next lets talk about Beyonce's acting, honestly I dont see anything wrong with it, I mean she's not a Halle Berry or a Viola Davis, but she's pretty decent and can hold her on. Now I know I might be a bit biased because I'm a stan, but she honestly is not as bad as many people try to make her out to be. In order to have great music videos you also have to be a pretty decent actress, check her out in her newest music video Pretty Hurts she's convincing to me. Lastly lets discuss the fact that Jay and Bey are apparently overrated. Can someone please define what makes someone overrated. Just because they are two successful people who happen to appear in the media does not make them overrated that makes them relevant to everyone who tries to stay inside their buisness.






Can we just marvel at how fierce Beyonce make's floating in a pool of money appear. Its all about the BENJAMINS baby.


 


Although the trailor seems as if it will be a hit the sad truth is that we might only get the trailer and nothing more. At the end of the video were the words COMING NEVER. So at this moment we can only take what we can get. Check out the music video below

 

 

Like Always Bey and Jay had the internet buzzing with the release of this trailer check out what the people are saying

Three Elderly Ladies opinions on Beyonce's song Drunk In Love

I don't know why I'm cracking up over this video, BUT I AM. Beyonce's first single off her hit 5th album Drunk In Love is a hot song right now. It is constantly played on the radio and in clubs. She definitely nailed it when she decided to make Drunk In Love her leading single simply because the song is so catchy and the original version also features her husband Sean Carter " Jay Z" and we all love when these two produce a track together.

I never really thought twice about some of the things that are said in Drunk In Love simply because I'm from the generation that is not afraid to talk about sex. We embrace it, discuss it, and live it. My generation does believe in sex being this hush hush topic that everyone only talks about behind closed doors.

The three women in the video below are from a complete different generation, therefore their personal opinions on Drunk In Love are basically completely opposite from what I think of the song. Check out their reaction to the lyric of the original song and the remix featuring Kanye West. Lets just say my viewpoint and there's are complete opposites.

Either way I'm still a fan of the song and I will continue to get hype whenever I hear it being played

John Legend's " ALL OF ME " music video

My favorite song on John Legend's new album "Love in the Future" is the song ALL OF ME. I really love this song and the meaning behind it. This song seriously makes my heart sing. It talks about giving all of yourself to your signinficant other and your partner doing the same thing. ALL OF ME is in the running to be the first song I dance to with my husband someday. I know for sure it will be on my wedding CD along with Beyonce's song ONCE IN A LIFETIME.

WATCH VIDEO HEREE--->>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=450p7goxZqg

 

 

 

In John's video you see him with a woman, and you see the many differnt phases of their relationship. There's scenes of the two in bed together and even a shower scene. What's so special about this woman is that she's his actual wive on September 14, 2013 John Legend wed supermodel Chrissy Teigen. I think it is  amazing that they are willing and comfortable enough to show and share their love for one another with the world. My favorite part is when he's singing to Chrissy and she's on the other side of a glass window. The video ends with a video clip of John's and Chrissy first kiss as husband and wife.

The love that John and Chrissy have for one another is so overwhelming and it is etremely beautiful. I want a love like that someday, if only I could be so lucky. This video is simply ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ...

Rihanna releases " Pour It Up"

Rihanna has finally given us the music video to her hit sing POUR IT UP, and boy oh boy did she set that video on fire. The song Pour It Up has officially become a strip club anthem " hence" the words of the verse " Strip clubs and dollar bills still got my money" Rihanna has girls TWERKING ON WATER #NoBasicZone

watch POUR IT UP right here

The video features professional exotic dancers Nicole " The pole " Williams, Candace Cane, and Secret Moneii. Nicole is an absolute beast on the pole, I plan on taking her class when I visit Los Angeles again. Candace brings the sexy and leaves you wanting more. Secret Moneii has a derrière that leaves you speechless.  In the video Rihanna also holds her own against the professionals and bends it over and twerks a few times along with working the pole. Originally I honestly love the video and Rihanna. I secretly am a bad girl and Rihanna gives me that opportunity to let the wild side out. Check out the video for yourself below and prepare to have your world rocked. OH dear do not let me be near a pole and this song comes on.

Also check out the audition video
and the making of the video
