The Quickie is your weekly round-up of celebrity and entertainment news. Let’s dive in, shall we.

The Tax Education of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill takes kookie artist to whole other level. I always thought she seemed a little self-important and bizarre even for someone in the music industry. In court she babble on about her job not really being a job and instead some cosmic state of being:

“I didn’t make music for celebrity status,” she told the court. “I made music for artistic and existential catharsis, which was not just necessary for myself but it was also necessary for the generations of oppressed people who hadn’t had their voices expressed like I was able to do it. Music is not something I do from 9 to 5. It’s a state of being, and like a doctor who delivers babies, I’m on call all the time because that’s the kind of work this is”

She, like Prince, went on to describe the music busines as a form of slavery:

Hill told the judge she lives “very modestly” considering how much money her music — she has sold 16 million records — earned for other people.

“Someone did the math, and it came to around $600 million,” she said. “And I sit here before you trying to figure out how to pay a tax debt? If that’s not like enough to slavery, I don’t know.”

Oh poor little Lauryn Hill, she has the opportunity to do what she loves for living, makes millions of dollars and because she didn’t make all of the millions she’s a slave or slave-like. This is me shedding a tear and playing the tiniest violin. (CNN.com)

The delectable ratchetness that is Love & Hip Hop Atlanta is back for a second season. And for all the change you think would have happened after these newly minted reality stars had a chance to see themselves on TV last year, so much has remained the same. Let’s take a look at season two’s winners and losers thus far:

Winners

Joseline Hernandez

Love her or hate her, this chick is living her life the way she wants and on her terms and for those reasons alone she’s winning in my book. Chicky still has Mimi running scared and Stevie J. is still running behind her. According to her,  she’s bringing in 20k a week from doing shows around the country and, in a scene straight out of “Sister Act”, Stevie J. buys her a fur coat to say “I’m sorry.” Oh and she managed to get Stevie J.’s ass kicked by his long suffering Baby Momma Mimi just by showing up at the house. W’s all around for the self-proclaimed Puerto Rican Princess.

K. Michelle

K. Michelle has a new record deal and the same old sass. She seems set to leave her troubled past behind her and make moves doing what she loves – Sanging! She even managed to squash some lingering beef with Ariane, Mimi’s good friend, and gave us a new term: “Hot Pockets” (think Vajajay). Gotta love K. Michelle.

Lil Scrappy

I will never, for the life of me, understand how such a high level loser has managed to make not one but TWO fairly attractive women fall in love with his illiterate, broke ass. But Lil Scrappy has done just that. And if rumors are to be believed, he even had the two women, Erica Dixon and Shay Johnson, fighting over him at some point during the season. Lord help us. He must have magical peen. It talks. It does the dishes. It walks the dog. Something. SMH

Losers

Mimi

I mean, what is there to say about Mimi that hasn’t already been said. This broad must have “STUPID” tatted on her DNA. Just to recap: She MOVES INTO Stevie J’s house so Joseline can’t stay there and be around their daughter. THEN she gets mad because Joseline showed up to the house with the fur coat Stevie bought her, while calling Mimi a maid (very funny by the way). So of course this leads Mimi to poppin’ off at Steebie Stevie for allowing that “prostitute” to disrespect her. HUH? You mean it wasn’t disrespect enough when he knocked her up last year? I’m confused. I will say it was highly entertaining watching her whoop up on his ass, ’cause I think Stevie doesn’t get enough ass whoopings for all of his shenanigans. With that said, if Mimi was being honest then she’d know she wasn’t mad at Stevie for being Stevie, but at herself for falling for his bullshit again. And truthfully, if after 15 years and one season of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta later, she doesn’t know who he is by now, then she should be mad at herself. It’s just that simple.

Shay “Buckeey” Johnson

Lil Scrappy did a real number on our girl Shay last year. She still has hurt feelings after watching Scrappy propose to Erica Dixon at the reunion show last year. She visits Momma Dee for answers, which strikes me as going to Satan for absolution, and Momma Dee being Momma Dee only seems to make it worse – giving Shay false hope that she still has a shot with Scrappy. Oh Shay, we want you to get it together and let it go. He doesn’t want you and clearly doesn’t value your friendship. You seem like a nice girl, if a little rough around the edges, so beleive there is someone out there for you. It’s just not Lil’ Scrappy.

Erica Dixon

I don’t care that she has a $20000+ ring (how can Scrappy afford that anyway) she’s still marrying a busted ass, irresponsible, illiterate, no career having, momma’s boy in Lil Scrappy. I know they have a child together, but damn, he seems like he has the maturity level of a 16-year-old boy. But hey, if she likes it I love it. Still lands her in the loser column though.

Other News and Notes

• Momma Dee is a certified shit-starter. Playing on Shay’s emotions. Telling her ENGAGED son to have lunch with his ex. AND talking ’bout how good she looks, “She lost a lil’ more weight and she looking foine” lol/smh. Gotta love Momma Dee.
• Benzino has a radio show? Apparently so.
• Ariane slept with one of K, Michelle’s exes. I’m not sure whether K. Michelle and said ex were still together when it happened, or if they just shared the same penis at different times. Either way it was the cause of some minor drama on Monday’s episode and led to K. Michelle giving us the now infamous (and stolen) term “Hot Pockets.”

The post Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Season 02 Episode 01 Recap: Mimi is STILL the Dumbest Broad on the Planet appeared first on A Big Butt and a Smile.

This episode of Gossip Game we learn there is a not so rigid hierarchy between journalists and bloggers, with media journalists being ahead of print journalists and bloggers being the red headed step children of the media field. The thing they are both chasing the same stories and measly paychecks. So why all the animosity. Anywho let’s jump into this episode to see the other drama that unfolded:

Sharon vs. Jas Fly – Journalist vs. Blogger

So this week was all about who’s a journalist. Apparently being a “journalist” is the thing to be. You know those dastardly bloggers don’t now anything about journalistic principles and they never worked at CNN, BBC or BET as Sharon has, something she likes to tell anyone within earshot. At a meeting with Kim Osorio and Jas Fly, Sharon Carpenter throws a bit of shade Jas Fly’s way pointing out that she’s just a blogger. Jas Fly gets into her feelings a bit, and let’s Sharon know she’s a journalist too! This continues throughout the episode as they meet up again and have the same convo – with Sharon pointing out she’s been in the game for 10 plus years to Jas FLy’s three. Jas Fly points out Sharon’s at Global Grind now, her territory. More cattiness ensues. I’m bored.

Drama Level – C

Vivian, Angela Yee & Smash Gate Part 1

So Vivian visits Angela Yee, ’cause she’s got a juicy tip she’s thinking about posting on her blog and wants Yee’s opinion. Seems a couple of birdies told her that K.Foxx and Maino did the horizontal mambo some time in the past and she wants to know if Yee would post this info on her blog. Yee said if it turned out to be true she would use the info as a blind item on the Breakfast Club. Vivian says she has an interview set-up with Maino for later, as he’s good friend with her husband – which leads us to our first Quote of the Night from Anglea Yee: “I want to know if the hair on the bottom is the same on the top” Whomp Whomp.

Drama Level – C
Humor Level – A+

Vivian, Maino & Smash Gate Part II

So Vivian meets with Maino where she asks if he’d like to play a game where she says a name and he says if he’s smashed or not. Maino says okay and then proceeds to deny smashing every woman Vivian names, including K. Foxx. Vivian is obviously disappointed she doesn’t have a story. And Maino’s response leads us to our second Quote of the Night: “If I were to admit to the smash, who would let me smash again?” Good point Maino. Good point.

Drama Level – C+

Vivian, K. Foxx & Smash Gate Part III

So Vivian is on her cousin’s Star’s radio show where she mentions her attempt at getting he good gossip from Maino and how she failed. This news gets back to K. Foxx and to say she’s none to pleased is an understatement. She approaches Vivian and they have a sit down where she denies she ever slept with Maino. Vivian points out she already knew that, and if she wrote about it that’s what she would have said. K. Foxx still pissed, says she may not have a blog anymore if she continues to deal with that sleaze bag cousin of hers Star. And then proclaims her hate for bloggers (I guess that makes her a journalist).

Drama Level – D

Other News and Notes

• Ms. Drama reminds everyone she has an emotional maturity level of a 16 year old girl when she approaches Angela Yee and Sharon Carpenter about their remarks regarding her pictures at her party last week. Really chick? You’re mad ’cause they didn’t like all of your pictures? Sigh.
• The All Hip Hop dude tells Carpenter that “Quality doesn’t always sell.” I kinda laughed. What he forgot to say is when your website is as ratchet as All Hip Hop your readers are incapable of recognizing quality. Just sayin’.
• Kim Osorio is a bit of a shit-starter. She’s no Momma Dee, but she likes to egg the drama on a bit. I see you Osorio.

So that’s it, episode four of Vh1′s The Gossip Game in the bag. What say you folk? Is this show worth sticking with or should I just toss it aside and stick with Love & Hip Hop Atlanta?

We can thank the Sex and the City ladies for bringing the rabbit vibrator to our attention oh so many moons ago. The rabbit or Jack Rabbit (or even Jessica Rabbit) vibrator earned it’s name because the clitoral stimulator on each vibrator looks like a pair of bunny ears. While always some of our best selling sex toys, here is a look at the best of the best rabbit vibrators from The Adult Toys Store:

Sorry for the lack of recap last week, but freelance work kind of got in the way, plus I wasn’t sure I was going to stick with the show since writers and radio personalities just aren’t that interesting. Which brings me to my first point:

1. It’s Not that Interesting

Write’s and TV personalities just aren’t that interesting. They are basically nerds who want to be rock stars. The movie “Almost Famous” has a great scene about that very thing:

Lester Bangs: Aw, man. You made friends with them. See, friendship is the booze they feed you. They want you to get drunk on feeling like you belong.William Miller: Well, it was fun.
Lester Bangs: They make you feel cool. And hey. I met you. You are not cool.
William Miller: I know. Even when I thought I was, I knew I wasn’t.
Lester Bangs: That’s because we’re uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don’t have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we’re smarter.
William Miller: I can really see that now.
Lester Bangs: Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love… and let’s face it, you got a big head start.
William Miller: I’m glad you were home.
Lester Bangs: I’m always home. I’m uncool.
William Miller: Me too!
Lester Bangs: The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we’re uncool.
William Miller: I feel better.
Lester Bangs: My advice to you. I know you think those guys are your friends. You wanna be a true friend to them? Be honest, and unmerciful.

Kim Osorio

None of these women are particularly cool. No one “cool” sits behind a computer all day and writes about others lives instead of living their own. Writers and journalists are just uncool people, which is why they get to be “honest and unmerciful” in their work (hopefully) by letting the world see things through a different lens by cutting through the bullshit and getting to the heart of the matter. And that brings me to the other major problem with the show…

2. What’s the Angle

Is it about Kim Osorio’s Marriage? Is it about K. Foxx’s career ambitions? Is it Sharon Carpenter’s dating life? Or is it Jas Fly budding writing career? As a matter of fact Ms. Drama (as much as I don’t like her) seems to be the only one with a consistent angle on the show. She knows she’s on TV and this is an excellent opportunity to expand her brand, make an impression on the viewing public and become a household name.

The Gossip Game needs to take a page from Lala’s Full Court Life. Lala is not very interesting either BUT she has really interesting friends who bring their own level of drama to the show (love life, struggling musician) and she spends her show showing us what it’s like to juggle her career, being a mother and wife to a professional basketball player. Even if you find Lala herself a tad dull and uninteresting, her life isn’t and it makes for entertaining TV.

This show would be AWESOME if we really delved into the working lives of these women. What’s it like to score the big interview. What level of male bullshit do they have to put up with being women in a predominantly male industry (we saw a bit of that last week with K. Fox and Ebro, her program director). Why aren’t we behind the scenes of the Source and iconic magazine that has had it’s fair share of drama over the years. Why can’t we see more of what makes Angela Yee so great, since right now she’s come off about as interesting as brown paper bag. Give me something. Give me a reason to tune in next week, an angle a purpose. Right now we just have a bunch of uninteresting women who are hella catty, mildly bitch, super competitive and ’bout as interesting as watching paint dry.

Ms. Drama

3. So what actually Happened in Last Night’s Episode

A lot of nothing really. Kim Osorio’s husband is a crass SOB who showed he had a sensitive side aand strong love for his wife by the end of the show. He also left us with gems such as “Dookie love” and “Oh she likes to fuck” in reference to Vivian with Osorio tole him she had five kids. Sharon Carpenter showed us she was a huge snob who believes her shit don’t stink when Wee-Bay Hassan Johnson was late for their date.

Carpenter kept talking about how “picky” she was which loosely translate too if he ain’t got Diddy money in the bank I’m not interested. Unfortunately for Carpenter, she’s past her prime and if she still wants to land the big bucks she better accept that he’s likely going to be older, unattractive and need Viagra to consummate their union. However this exchange did give us the Quote of the Night given to us by one Angela Yee: when Carpenter was saying Hassan should buy her one of those 10, 000 dollar paintings to make up for standing her up, Yee responded “10, 000 dollars. Girl you gotto put out for that.” And there you have it.

Other News and Notes

• Ms. Drama threw a party to show the world how fabulous she was. Instead what she actually showed was how incredibly awkward and geek she is, oh and reveled the fact she hasn’t been dicked down in YEARS. No one was surprised.
• Jas Fly continues to play the “nice, sensible” role on the show. You can tell she is painfully aware she’s on camera and tries to behave accordingly. My thoughts: she don’t really want that reality TV check.
• Also, in one of the funnier moments in the show Jas Fly, after their dust up last week, had Ms. Drama in a timeout – a fact Ms. Drama was none to pleased about. Considering she (Drama) acts like a petulant child most of the time she needs to find herself in a timeout more often. It might do her some good.

So that’s it ladies and gents. Another episode of The Gossip Game in the bag. I time I’m going to stick with it….for now – if for no other reason to continue to watch the train wreck that is Ms. Drama. What did you think of last night’s episode? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

The post The Gossip Game Season 01 Episode 03 Recap – What’s This Show About Anyway? appeared first on A Big Butt and a Smile.

Anal sex still carries a bit of a taboo, but as more and more people engage (40 percent of women between the ages of 20-24 have tried it) it loses its stigma and just becomes another thing to add to your sexual arsenal. My philosophy on sex is and has always been do what feels good to you and works in your relationship – no judgements needed. So, for those who are looking to try anal sex for the first time or are looking to try anal sex in a different way, here a five super hot, super effective anal sex positions to get you started.

1. Hang Ten

Standing sex positions automatically add variety to one’s sex life by taking the sexy deed vertical instead of horizontal. Be careful here, height differences can make it difficult to reach your target and excessive thrusting may cause yourpartner to topple over.

Hang Ten

2. Bulldog

Bulldog is great because it allows for a great deal of intimacy even though it’s a anal sex position. Your bodies are very close in this position and the closeness allows the giving partner to explore the receiving partners body and even massage the clitoris

3. Ben Dover

Similar to Hang Ten, but has you’re bent all the way over with your hands touching the floor. This position is great becasue of the added sensation of having the blood rush to your head while someone is thrusting away. Just like Hang Ten be careful, do forceful with the thrust and your partner will go tumbling over.

4. Lap Dance

For those who like to ride, Lap Dance is the position for you. The sex position allows the receiving partner complete control over the depth of the penetration and the pace of the sex. For those who want to take control of the action, and want their partners just along for the ride, give Lap Dance a try.

5. Booster Seat

Booster Seat is only for the fit and strong. The receiving partner is in a crouching positions that will put one’s quads to serious work. And the giving partner is standing and supporting some of the weight of the receiving partner. It’s fun and adventurous, but not for the weak.
