2012-01-08T22:24:00.003-05:00

It's been awhile since I've had an addition to the 'A Big Gulp of WTF' series, but please trust and believe, this person is WELL worth the wait.

I bring you the woman who leaves you speechless. The big, the formidable....Angela 'Big Ang' Raiola of VH1's hit series, Mob Wives.
I was minding my own business watching Mob Wives...amusing myself listening to cast DESTROY the english language (youz know how that is). Anyhoo, during the show...there was this...creature talking to one of the women one of the women on a balcony during a 'celebration of life' party (don't ask). Honestly, the face, the voice...I got nothing. I couldn't tell if it was male or female. As the show progressed I heard someone call her Ang. There's a lead! I head to Google, conduct my search and discovers she's a she, Angela Raiola. I will say, her black hair was fly..but the rest of her...yecch. I'm sure she's a nice woman,as a matter of fact, she IS a nice woman-lawd knows I'm not trying to sleep with the fishes lol

It's obvious Big Ang has had multiple visits to her favorite plastic surgeon..behold...Big Ang:

Get More: Mob Wives (Season 2)

***NOTE: All images, videos that featured the destruction known as Big Ang's face has been mysteriously removed from the internet. If you watch Mob Wives, you'd easily spot Big Ang.

The episode which will air next Sunday, shows Big Ang wanting MORE plastic surgery...may her plastic surgeon's scalpel turn into a butter knife!!

Congratulations to Bey, Jay Z (and their surrogate?) On baby Blue Ivy Cartery

2012-01-08T15:42:00.003-05:00

All hail...THE child is born! The most beautifulest baby-the baby with spectacular R&B/Hip Hop lineage that's ever been anticipated, has been birthed. Try to control yourselves, peasants! Thy child is here....whom am I referring to??

One of our B &P members, Beyonce has 'delivered' her baby yesterday. No deets on her daughter, Blue Ivy's weight-but she delivered at NY's Lenox Hill Hospital. It's been said the 4th floor was rented out at the hospital for an impressive $1.3 million dollars. Dayum.

While there's been speculation about Beyonce actually carrying the baby herself, (see video 0:59, and photo below)-I mean how else can Bey insure she looks camera ready in her leotards ;)- we're happy the baby's healthy.

^^^^^ Your thoughts on Bey's collapsible belly?

Wow...thought I'd peruse People Magazine (People.com) and look at what I stumble up O_O

Nick Cannon has been hospitalized in Aspen, Colo., with what his wife Mariah Carey is calling "mild kidney failure."

"Please pray for Nick as he's fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure. #mybraveman," the singer wrote on Twitter Wednesday, alongside a photo of her helping Cannon take a drink in his hospital bed.

Carey later elaborated in a post on her website: "Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are."

She added: "We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. ... I'm not trying to make light out of the situation because it's a serious moment that's very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers."

Carey, 41, and Cannon, 31, were previously spotted out and about in Aspen on New Year's Eve. The couple have twins, Moroccan and Monroe, who wereborn on April 30.

***************************

For those who are unfamiliar with kidney (renal) failure:

Renal failure or kidney failure (formerly called renal insufficiency) describes a medical condition in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter toxins and waste products from the blood. The two forms are acute (acute kidney injury) and chronic (chronic kidney disease); a number of other diseases or health problems may cause either form of renal failure to occur. Click here for Symptoms

How to prevent kidney failure:

How can I prevent kidney failure?
The best way to prevent kidney failure is to prevent CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease). If you have CKD, work with your doctor to slow it down. You may not be able to fix the damage that is already done, but you might be able to keep the damage from getting worse.

If you have diabetes and high blood pressure, it is very important for you to manage these. Work with your doctor to learn how.
Other ways to help protect your kidneys are to:
Eat a diet low in fat and salt

Exercise most days of the week

Have regular check-ups with your doctor

Avoid tobacco

Limit alcohol

****Thoughts are with Cannon/Carey family. Wishing Nick a speedy recovery!!****

Celebs got the Weight Loss Game on Lock...

2012-01-04T10:05:00.000-05:00

Whew! Children, I have been away for awhile! Life has thrown me for a curve what with 2 births and 2 deaths in 2011...but I'm back! Now that the holidays and the holiday feasts are now a thing of the past-it's time to carry out your Weight Loss Resolutions!

Just in case your head has been in the sand the last couple of weeks, the top 3 weight loss companies: Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig have flooded our TVs with weight loss campaigns featuring beautiful celebs that'll hopefully, motivate you to sign up!

First up, we have Weight Watchers' (WW) most successful celebrity, Jennifer Hudson. Man, WW KEEPS, Jennifer BUSY! That's a good thing...she's too busy to gain her weight back.

According to Weight Watchers this is how their program works:

With Weight Watchers, every food has a PointsPlus value, which takes into account a food's protein, carbs, fat, and fiber. Using advancements in nutritional science, we’ve developed a formula that helps us wrap it all up into one easy-to-use, number. You'll get a daily personalized PointsPlus Target, so you know how much to eat to lose weight safely―while feeling satisfied.

Plus, there’s even more flexibility built in with PointsPlus 2012. You can customize how you use your PointsPlus values so they work best for you. And if you'd like, you can take a break from counting PointsPlus values with the Simply Filling technique.

Check out Jennifer's newest commercial:

Next up...Nutrisystem featuring Janet Jackson. Like Jennifer, Janet has dealt with her weight her whole life. Surprisingly, Janet Jackson is Nutrisystem's spokesperson. I have never seen Janet push a product (in the U.S.A.) so I'm sure Nutrisystem is tickled pink.

How Nutrisystem works:

The Nutri System program provides an on-line analysis to calculate your calorie requirements. From this, your meal plans can be calculated and they will begin to ship all your meals to your door. This kind of weight loss program has distinct advantages:
Sustainable weight loss of around 2 pounds per week.

Based on the Glycemic Index

All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert) are provided and delivered to you (free shipping on 4 week food orders). Note that you may want to add some fresh fruit and vegetables to your meals.

On-line support available with membership in the program (including chat and one-to-one counseling sessions).

Yes - a weight loss counselor will actually phone you once you've subscribed.

Portion controlled - low fat, controlled carbohydrate, and protein. For most women calorie amounts will be 1200 per day (although this may vary up to 1500 per day for very active women, and men).

Free membership to all aspects of the program (you only pay for the food).

Programs for Men, Women, Vegetarians, and Diabetics.

Free exercise program and meal planner.

Watch Janet promote Nutrisystem:

And finally, Jenny Craig featuring Mariah Carey. She doesn't directly come out and say she's been on the Jenny Craig diet (in the commercial)...but it's alluded to. She's singing and dancing and looks fantastic (esp after recently delivering twins)

How Jenny Craig works:

Your diet plan will be completely personalized from the start. You will then need to buy their pre-packaged foods on a weekly basis. If you have a Jenny Craig center near you then you can go there on a weekly basis. If you don’t, they can mail your food weekly.
The meals you buy are very well balanced. They consist of low fat protein, the right kind of carbs, and healthy fats. Also, for optimum weight loss, you should eat 5 small meals per day, as opposed to 3 large ones. Jenny Craig adhered to this rule, they will want you to eat 5 meals per day.
What also sets Jenny Craig apart from most other diets is that when you go to your Jenny Craig center to get you food, you’ll also get one-on-one counseling. This will help you to stay motivated and focused. If you don’t live near a Jenny Craig center, you’ll still get one-on-one counseling. You’ll get your support by phone.

NOTE: Jenny Craig diet COSTS $$$.

Check out Mariah:

And there you have it folks! Remember, most of us AREN'T celebrities. We actually have to do the work on our own. We don't have people paying for our programs, calling to support us, paying us to be on TV-however, if the commitment is there-there will be weight loss.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!!!!!!

Happ (belated) Birthday, Queen Bee

2011-07-18T02:35:00.001-04:00

What in awful plastic surgery hell was I thinking?! How could I NOT acknowledge the reigning Queen of Black & Plastic-Lil Kim's 37th birthday on July 11th?? As the church says, 'charge it to my head and not to my heart' (rolling eyes) Anyhoo...reality show basketball wives' (who hopes to officially become the housewife of Chad Ochocinco) star, Boogie Bronx's own Evelyn Lozada threw a surprise birthday party for Queen Bee.

source

Hmmm...37 isn't old (don't ask me how I know) but that hairline that not only ages Lil Kim but it also looks eerily like LaToya Jackson's hairline...doesn't it? I'm glad the queen of Black & Plastic, Hip Hop, and PayPal had a great birthday! She's overcome many obstacles and I'm glad to see her being appreciated!

HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY QUEEN BEE!!

Some of Us Are Born With It...

World Record Holder...Norma Stitz and her Tits....

2011-07-11T03:43:00.001-04:00

I'm trying to imagine...how would I feel if Ms. Norma Stitz (aka Annie Hawkins-Turner) were my mother. Would I be upset that she's showing off her gargantuan cleavage and long natural breasts or would I applaud her for getting her hustle on...at the expense of said behemoth natural breasts?

Well the jury is still out...however, I'm feeling..some kind of way. What kind of way, I can't exactly say but..I'm kind of beguiled by the bosom. It seems that Ms Norma Stitz's tits are world record holders-they're the world's largest natural breasts on record-surprise surprise! According to Wikipedia (i know, i know lol) Norma's said to wear bra size 102ZZZ (but according to her most recent comment on Youtube, Ms. Norma says she doesn't have a bra size at this time #shrugs) and her breasts weigh approximately 56lbs each..wth?!

Norma even has her own website...check her out-oh btw...NSFW, click here.

Alicia Keys son, Egypt Daoud, spotted....

2011-07-11T01:57:00.001-04:00

Maybe I don't get out much...but this is the 1st time I've viewed Alicia Keys' son Egypt...and I shouldn't be this happy over seeing him lol It's been awhile since I've been here-but hey...in light of a baby being the newest addition to my family-I thought it fitting to highlight Alicia Keys' newest family addition, also.

RHOM's Elsa Patton: Love her..Love her face

2011-03-22T23:53:00.002-04:00

The only reason to watch Bravo TV's Real Housewives of Miami....and I promise it's painful to watch, is because of cast member Marysol Patton's mother, Elsa. This cuban firecracker, a self-confessed witch/psychic, is quick-witted and hilarious. However, Ms. Elsa is more known for her face...and not in a good way!

Ms. Elsa has taken a swim in the plastic surgery pool a lil too often and boy oh boy does it show! tsk tsk

Check out Ms. Elsa's before and after pics:

This is what happens when you don't leave well enough alone:

Because of her thick accent and residual effects from her plastic surgeries, it's hard to understand Ms. Elsa at times. But thank goodness for subtitles because-even the subtitles are funny! Regardless of Ms. Elsa's facial evolution, I am forever her fan.

You can check out Ms. Elsa on Real Housewives of Miami which airs on the Bravo Channel, every Tuesday 10pm/9pm Central.

I'm not sure how this is going to impact these girls later...but for now they feel it's worth modifying (or mutilating-depending on the perspective) their bodies in order to advance in their 'modeling' careers #shouldershrug

First up is Pebbelz Da Model...can you guess the modified body part?

J-Hud 80lbs Lighter and Speaks about fam murders on Oprah...

2011-02-13T00:32:00.000-05:00

We've seen J-Hud singing on the Weight Watchers commercials...but now Jennifer Hudson is talking...to Oprah. Not only has she lost a staggering 80lbs, she decides to lighten her burden even more by speaking about her murdered family members. Check out the video below:

Wanting An Ass that Killed...Killed Claudia Aderotimi...smh

2011-02-13T00:20:00.001-05:00

When not keeping it real goes terribly wrong

Being young can be a trying time. Trying to find your way, and live up to th expectations of society can cause you to do crazy things. Claudia Aderotimi, found out the hard way. Wanting to make herself marketable in the hip-hop industry as a video vixen she set out to get buttocks implants after being told by video directors her booty's too small.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures...smh After being injected with what's thought to be industrial caulk, Claudia complained of chest pains 12 hours after her procedure..she later died.

2010-10-30T15:46:00.001-04:00

The publicity mills are all abuzz about Tyler Perry's next movie...For Colored Girls. However, what many (the younger generations) aren't aware of: the movie is based off a play by a phenomenal woman by the name of Ntozake Shange! Ms. Ntozake is the playwright of the famous play, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf. it's also available in paperback.

My reason for this post? To show yous fierce swag isn't just for the 20-something woman and Ms. Shange is proof at a helluva strong 62yrs of age! Oh She's Fancy, Huh?! lol

Ntozake circa 1976

Nicki Minaj's video 'Right Thru Me'

2010-10-30T13:22:00.000-04:00

I'm just going to call Nicki Minaj..."The lil Lace Front that could' cuz this girl's caboose can't be stopped. The self proclaimed Harajuku Barbie is seen everywhere...and I'm still not sure...why?! Be that as it may...everywhere you look-Twitter, FB little silly black girls are now calling themselves Barbie. Not sure why you want to name yourself after a toy that doesn't even have a va-jay-jay...but hey-who am I?

Having said all of that, here's Nicki's video 'Right Thru Me...' I'd love to focus on the actual plot, but I can't tear my eyes away from the atrocious lacefront hairline...smh *DEATH TO lacefronts, unless it's done by a hairstylist from James Cameron's movie set* She needs to find another drag queen hairstylist!

Anyhoo...no more delays:

It Was Bound To Happen...NeNe Leakes (RHOA) Gets Chopped Up ....by a plastic surgeon

2010-10-22T19:40:00.000-04:00

NeNe Leakes has been to hell and back. The unreal reality star of Real Housewives of Atlanta has had financial issues, her kid is trying to 'find himself,' the state of her relationship with her fathers are unsure as of today, a rumor of her dating a football player came and went, and her and Greg's marriage is...anyone's guess. What is a girl to do after life's ups and downs comes to visit and overstays? You kick life in the balls and give yourself a make over dammit!! And that's what Ms. NeNe has done!

On the newsstands now, NeNe tells People magazine why she had plastic surgery!

I swear NeNe is barely recognizable in this pic...is it the new nose, the new extra bright Mikki Taylor teeth, weight loss??

Your thoughts??

Willow 'My Parents Makes Us Work' Smith...'Whip My Hair' (Video Premier)

2010-10-19T22:31:00.000-04:00

Honey the Smiths (as in Jada & Will) know they have some money makin' babies. Not sure what the oldest child-Trey is up to, but Jaden & Willow are all over the place!

Keepin it real, this child-Willow who turns 10 on Halloween- has gotten under my skin (in a good way) like hives (not good). I have to admit, I don't see kids as confident as the Smith's brood. But then again, I don't know kids whose daddy makes $25mil a picture either! Anyhoooo I can't knock their hustle. If the singing and hair whipping doesn't pan out, Willow can always be a fashion stylist:
