Beyonce Can’t Catch a Break

Although young, beautiful and talented, it seems as if Beyonce simply cannot catch a break.  The singer gave birth to her first child, daughter Blue Ivy, last January.  But, before she gave birth, there was a rumor going around that she wasn’t really pregnant and that she had a surrogate carrying the baby after an Australian interview seemed to show her baby belly deflate upon sitting. Then, there was controversy over the fact that Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z reportedly dropped $1.3 million to reserve the entire floor of the Lenox Hospital where Blue Ivy was born.  Parents claimed that they … Continue reading →

In recent headlines, a video has taken the nation, possibly the world, by storm. Boasting over 13 million views, this video has affected the lives of more people that the total populations of Minnesota and Wisconsin combined.

Kanye West Apologies for VMA Outburst

Ah, what is a music ceremony without Kanye West acting up? It all started in 2004, when he lost the AMA Best New Artist award to Gretchen Wilson. He stormed out of the ceremony saying, “I left like I was definitely robbed…” Then at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards, he interrupted Justice and Simian’s acceptance speech, insisting his video should have won the award because it “cost a million dollars and Pamela Anderson was in it.” As for the 2007 awards, Kanye suggested that he was not chosen to do the opening performance for the show because “maybe my … Continue reading →

Super Star Wedding

Not even Mother Nature could dampen the wedding ceremony that had Beyonce Knowles saying, “I do” to rapper Jay-Z. According to a number of media outlets, the two mega-singing stars got hitched last night during an intimate gathering in Jay-Z’s Tribeca penthouse apartment.

Super Skinny Me

Kate Spicer – Honestly Showing us the Ugly Side of Weight Loss Last week I watched a BBC program called “Super Skinny Me” and I related to it much more than I’d care to admit. In it, two British journalists agreed to spend five weeks doing whatever they had to do to reach the mythical size zero. I should mention here that both of them were very healthy and attractive women before they ever started their weight loss journeys. The one journalist I related to most was Kate Spicer. She is 38, 5’8″ tall and weighed 140 pounds. That weight … Continue reading →

Why You Should Detox

Posted on by

The topic of detoxifying tends to polarize people. Some people swear by it while other swear about it. I hope to help you out here in case you’ve been wondering what all the fuss is about when it comes to the detox. I published a blog on the Master Cleanse some time ago. It has been particularly popular with those looking to lose a few fast pounds but I’ve tried to be absolutely clear that this is not a quick fix meant for the yo-yo dieter. While one of the side effects is usually weight loss, doing a detox like … Continue reading →

Beyonce Crossing the Line, Drew Foots a BIG Bill and Lindsay’s New Job at the Morgue

I suspect the TV ratings for this year’s Grammy Awards will surpass the numbers the Golden Globes got earlier this week. Not that they could get any worse… Despite the threat of picket lines by striking Hollywood writers, the Grammy Awards will air as scheduled on February 10th. But, unlike with the Golden Globe Awards, A-list celebs are saying they will appear for the music industry’s biggest night. Just yesterday Beyonce and the Foo Fighters announced that they will be performing at the annual music awards. Beyonce is nominated for record of the year and her rep says the “Bootylicious” … Continue reading →
