That's What S/He Said!

Channing Crowder (NFL Linebacker admitting that he didn't know where London was, or that Londoners spoke English) - "I couldn't find London on a map if they didn't have the names of the countries. I swear to God. I don't know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that. I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him.That's the closest thing I know to London. He's black, so I'm sure he's not from London. I'm sure that's a coincidental name."

Angie Stone (on her ex and child's father D'Angelo) - "Ain’t nothin’ happen with us. I never really say nothin’ negative about him, but he’s on my s*it list right now.”

George Bush (on the Iraq war)- "I fully understand those who say you can't win this thing militarily. That's exactly what the United States military says, that you can't win this military."

Karrine Steffans (formerly known as Supahead on her relationship with Bill Maher) - "Bill wants someone he can put down in an argument, tell you how ghetto you are, how big your butt is, and that you're an idiot. That's why you never see him with a white girl or an intellectual. I might as well have been a Muslim woman with my head wrapped, walking 10 paces behind my man. [But] I couldn't be 'Bill Maher's girlfriend' any more - not when I'm Karrine Steffans . . . best-selling author."

Barack Obama (at a recent MTV forum) - "Part of my job as president I think is to deliver a message that everybody is part of the American family," he said. "Not just some people. And obviously as somebody who is African-American — my mother is from Kansas, my father was from Kenya, I grew up in Indonesia, I have a sister who looks Spanish, I've got a brother in law who is Chinese-Canadian — I'm very sensitive to making sure that everybody feels a part of America. And that's one of the things I think I can bring to this presidency. The day I'm inaugurated the country will look at itself differently and I think be more tolerant."

David Letterman (in honor of Halloween) - ''Today, the Dalai Lama visited the White House. He rang the doorbell and Bush answered and he said, 'Oh, let me get some candy.'''

Barack, Ellen, Dancing, Beyonce - I'm Scared And It's Not Halloween Yet!

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama decided to showcase his dance moves on the Ellen Degeneres Show yesterday. I'm torn and somewhat frightened. On the one hand, it shows a light-hearted, somewhat smooth side to Senator Obama. On the other hand, I don't like any man dancing to "Crazy in Love" by Beyonce for fear that a butt bounce is imminent.... In any event, I think he can dance better than he was letting on--trying not to groove too hard since he is running for the highest political office in the land. But click on the picture above and you decide. Thumbs up or thumbs down?

FASHION FIGHTS POVERTY - 2007

Last Friday October 26, I attended a fashion show put on by Fashion Fights Poverty at the Carnegie Library in Washington, D.C. FFP, in its third year, is "one of the largest fashion fundraisers in Washington, DC," and it showcases national and international designers who design and manufacture clothing by ethical means and practices. Anyway, I had never heard of Fashion Fights Poverty, but one of my good friends Lily, featured in one of the above pics, modeled in the show, so I decided to grab a ticket and hit the event. TALK ABOUT FABULOUS. The venue was exquisite, the media was snapping pics, the red carpet was out, the champagne and vodka (Belvedere Vodka was a sponser) were FLOWIN', and the DJ was pumpin' Jay-Z. Now that's a friday night.

The pre-show started around 6 pm and the pouring rain did not keep attendees away. I had gone solo, and while I was sipping a cosmo, lounging in a chair and enjoying the ambiance, a random woman named Michelle came up to me, asked me if I was by myself too? I said yes and she said "Cool. We can hang out together." HAAA! And we did. For a couple of hours, we mingled in the Edward Marc chocolate suite (I had to sample a little Grand Marnier in a milk chocolate shot glass), "looked" at the silent auction items, and window shopped at some of the various trendy vendors' tables. For those who wanted to really spend some money, they could also pay to mingle in the VIP Suite. One complaint - I actually did not want to mingle in the VIP suite. I was happy to be a commoner with a $100 Pret-A-Porter ticket. But then I got a lot of different stories from the staff members about whether or not the $100 included a seat. First yes. Then maybe. Then no. WHAAAAAA? $100 and I'm standing? Hell to the naw! Not for 2 hours. I wanted to know who was in charge, and the staff didn't even know that! Don't get me wrong, every person I spoke with was sweet as apple pie, but sadly misinformed. So I ended up springing for the additional $80 to upgrade to the VIP Haute Couture ticket. Needless to say, TravelDiva was not pleased.

BUT, the party must go on. Because now that I had spent $180, I was going to have a D*MN good time--so Michelle and I headed to the VIP suite to relax for a little bit before the show. After about 30 minutes or so, it was time to be seated and get ready for the show. Much to my chagrin, it turned out I didn't need to buy the VIP ticket to get a seat or the VIP swag bag. Only the first 3 rows were reserved, the rest was on a first come first served basis. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was so bitter, I had to take a moment and pray because otherwise I would have been sitting through the whole show pissed because I'd wasted $80. It took me a minute, but I pulled myself together. It helped ease my pain that I was near the front, and I swear I saw the Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell on the first row (Now this is totally unconfirmed. I just noticed a really handsome straight guy on the front row. Then on Sunday I was watching the Skins/Patriots game for wager reasons and I saw their quarterback and I thought, didn't I see his fine behind at the fashion show? Given his team's 52 to 7 loss though, maybe he should have been home praying instead of at the fashion show). But I digress.

The show itself--Off da hook! Straight out of ANTM land! It was hosted by Will Thomas (Fox news anchor) and fashion guru Jaci Reid (rockin' a free-flowing Roberto Cavalli gown). There were a number of designers featured including Basia Frossard, Belabumbum, ChaChaboy, Eliptica, Elizabeth Muir, Kimberly Kouture, and Liliana Castellanos. The fashions showcased were fierce from the sexy lingerie and cute maternity wear of Belabumbum to ChaChaboy's swimwear for the heteroquestionable male to the sassy designs of Elizabeth Muir. My favorite designs of the night, however, came from Liliana Castellanos. AAAAAGH! Her colors were simple, some variation of red, black, white and/or gray. But each outfit was chic, creative and most importantly WEARABLE! I mean, her designs were the type to make you want to buy them, wear them and then strut down the street like you're on a catwalk! Bravo Liliana!

After the show, the after party was held at Lotus Lounge. The party was packed, the DJ was hit or miss, but I hung out as long as I could to try to get my VIP value. LOL. All in all, it was a fantastic event and I will definitely be in attendance next year!

Boohoo For The Millionaire

Some time ago, my friends and I were discussing Britney Spears' troubles--not the "divorce/drugs/head-shaving/custody loss/VMA stiff dancing" troubles--but back when things were much simpler and Brit Brit had "married to K-Fed and driving little Sean Preston around without a car seat" kind of troubles. Grown Woman, a new mom herself, sympathized with Brit because of how difficult it must be for Brit to have all of her new mother struggles documented by the media. Poor poor Britney. Poor Britney? She's rich! Earlier this year, Brit was estimated as being worth $100 million and according to Forbes magazine, she is believed to be the 12th richest woman in entertainment. Boohoo for the millionaire! No, money doesn't solve all of your problems--that is obvious. But it sure does help. Most of us have to get up every day and go to work to pay the mortgage and a gazillion other bills. But if you're a multi-millionaire, you would never have to be concerned about financial security and that's one big worry NOT to have. So Boo friggin' hoo for Britney. She needs to get some intensive counseling, spend some quality time with her family, get her priorities straight, and take her behind to church.

But Brit Brit isn't the only one who's made me think, "Boohoo." Here are some others...

Kanye West - He threw a temper tantrum after he was forced to perform in (gasp) a suite at the 2007 VMAs and failed to win any awards. He ranted and raved about not performing on the "big" stage and how he made the song "Stronger" to be played in stadiums. (Really? A song that includes the line "I would do anything for a blond d*ke" was made for stadiums? Who knew?). He went on and on about how he should have opened the VMAs instead of Britney because she hasn't had a hit record in 5 million years. (rude, but funny). Ye has VOWED to never appear on MTV again. Cry me a friggin' river. West was ranked number 8 on Forbes Hip Hop Cash Kings List and earned an estimated $17 million in 2006 alone. So put the booze down Ye, go shopping for a pink sweater in Italy and relax with your millions.

50 Cent - After he was trounced domestically in his album release battle with the aforementioned Ye, 50 had more excuses than enough. His record company didn't promote him right, Def Jam bought copies of Kanye's cds to make it sell better, people are hating on him and have higher expectations for him because he's so fantastic..... He also threatened to release an album every time Def Jam had a major record release. (maybe called "Half a Dollar's Revenge"). Wah Wah Wah. Man up rich boy and take your loss with a little backbone. 50 earned an estimated $32 million in 2006 and is worth many millions more. So Curtis, please stop your whining, go sit in a corner and drink some vitamin water.

Kim Porter (Diddy's Ex and likely Future) - Porter broke up with P. Diddy after discovering that he had another little infant in Atlanta, Georgia. She up and moved everything out of the couple's NY home and bounced! Initially, you think, oh that's so sad, they just had twins, were on the cover of Essence magazine, that's awful. Boohoo. Porter's got 3 little Diddies, two of whom are infants--she's STRAIGHT. Porter is gonna be alright with some healing time, some get myself together time, and a portion of Diddy's $500 million fortune.


So readers, the next time you see some celebrity trouble or some rich person whining--put things in perspective, say "Boohoo for the millionaire'" and then take your behind back to work.

Love and Lions for Luke

Lions for Lambs comes out Nov 9th. Maybe you'll see it for Robert Redford or Meryl Streep - both fine actors or to see whether Tom Cruise's new bangs make it into the movie. I will be watching the movie for Derek Luke. Yes, the two first names actor is in the movie in case you've missed the previews. He should play a major role too. Derek has been on and off my radar for a minute but he solidified his place in my top 20 with his role in "Catch a Fire." It was a great movie which did not get as much attention as it should have. And a highlight to the film - Luke got naked (sorry ladies only a back shot), which is not the only reason to rent the film because Luke is fine actor. So yay to Derek for landing the role and hopefully we'll get to see more of him, ;)!!

Why Do We Really Hate Mrs. Raymond?

Not since Bobby and Whitney or Brit and K-Fed has the public really come against a celebrity marriage with this much passion. When pictures of Usher and Tameka first surfaced, all the news media said that Tameka wasn’t good enough for Usher. Some reports claimed that she was the “other woman” in the whole Usher and Chilli breakup, abandoned her three sons and divorced her husband for Usher, made him fire his mom, and even harassed Mama Raymond. Even Usher’s fan sites have come against the relationship. Many internet websites refer to her as Usher’s husband. Even my girls and I all commented that “damn, I had a chance with Usher, look at her, she’s old, not cute”. Years ago--pre 8701--no one would have cared who Usher ended up with. He was just a little boy who could dance and sing. BUT, something happened between “You make me wanna” and “You remind me”. Usher was working out and obviously eating his Wheaties because he really made me “wanna” with that 6 pack. So, because he so fine and he’s a multi-millionaire, I just assumed that I would have to look like a Victoria’s Secret model for him to wife me. I was wrong. I felt how Chris Rock did when he discovered that JD and Janet were dating. As CR said, “It’s like finding out that yesterday they were giving out Bentleys for a dollar.” Had I known that Usher was into non-celebrity women, I would have tried to get backstage during his last tour. Damn. Missed out on that chance.
However, I have been rethinking my feelings since reading the latest Essence. In the article, the new Mrs. Raymond said that we, as black women, should be ashamed of ourselves for hating on her so much. She believes that if she were Latina or Caucasian, a size 2 and under 30, we would believe that she was beautiful. So, in essence, when we see her, we see ourselves and believe that “brown sistas” aren’t good enough. When I first read this, I was upset. I thought, is Tameka correct? If she were Latina, would I still feel the same way? Am I engaging in self-hate?
Do I really believe that women 35-plus are less deserving of love? I was very concerned. As a lawyer, I am trained to thoroughly analyze and assess a situation. So, I thought that I would analyze why I, like many women, feel that Tameka isn’t up to par. So, here it goes.

First, Tameka is not cute. Sorry, Usher but she’s not. She looked presentable in the Essence magazine (however, the cover was hideous) but who wouldn’t if made up by a glam squad? And, for the record, I am a brown skinned sista so I have no prejudice against darker hues. Her complexion has nothing to do with my assessment. I would feel the same if she were Caucasian or Latina. Second, she’s old. Not, Halle Berry or Demi Moore old. Just regular old. She looks like his mama and not his wife. Chilli was also older and they looked perfect for each other. You know that saying, “Black don’t crack?” Well, there are always exceptions. Third, she’s built like a man. I suppose a nicer description would be “muscular”, but here on “CITC” we keeps it real. Fourth, in all of these pics we see of the newlyweds her kids are interestingly absent. Is she protecting their identity or has she simply chosen them over Usher? While, he has a nice body, he’s not worth it. No man is. Usher, heed this warning :If she’s not a good mama to her first three kids, she’s not going to magically become one to your kid. Is Tameka a Britney in the making? Fifth, she seems like she has an attitude. Never let them see you sweat, sweetie. Look, you’re with a successful, sexy, rich man, smile a little! A true diva would not allow others to bring her down. Sixth, she’s not in tune with her inner fabulosity. I mean, God. Supposedly, she’s a stylist. Now, she’s rich. Step it up a bit on the red carpet. Does she realize how many wanna be future baby mamas are waiting to take her place? And, seventh, last but certainly not least, I’M SIMPLY HATING. I’m younger than she is. I’m cuter than she is. I’m a good mother. I am in tune with my inner fabulosity. I wouldn’t have had him fire his mom. Usher’s mom would not have taken an ex parte out on me. Usher and I would have made a much cuter couple. And, I know that I could have learned those tricks that she’s obviously throwing down in the bedroom ( why else would be so enamored?) BUT, instead he chose her. I was just fine living in my fantasy world believing that Usher would never date someone who wasn’t a celebrity. Now, I realize that I actually had a chance. That’s a hard pill to swallow. So, Tameka, you have to understand how we women feel out here. We’re hurt. And Usher, don’t be so upset boo, we love you and that’s why we’re so angry. One last warning, I would wait to release your next CD until after you and Tameka are separated (which we all know is coming within the next 12 months). Otherwise, you’ll have to risk low record sales due to the public’s disgust over your marriage. I know that’s not fair but that’s life. And like TD always says, “BOO HOO for the millionaire!”

Obama pisses off Gay Rights Group?

WASHINGTON (AP) — A gay rights group on Monday urged Barack Obama to cut ties with a gospel singer who it says spreads false information about homosexuality being a choice.

Donnie McClurkin is among several gospel singers scheduled to raise money for the Illinois senator and Democratic presidential candidate at a concert in South Carolina this weekend.

McClurkin has drawn attention from gay rights activists for his views on homosexuality.

"I don't believe that it is the intention of God," McClurkin said Monday in a telephone interview. "Sexuality, everything is a matter of choice."

McClurkin said he does not believe in discriminating against homosexuals. "What people do in their bedrooms and who they are as human beings are two different things," he said.

In a statement, Obama said he believes gays and lesbians are "our brothers and sisters" and should be afforded the same respect, dignity and rights granted all other citizens.


"I have consistently spoken directly to African-American religious leaders about the need to overcome the homophobia that persists in some parts our community so that we can confront issues like HIV/AIDS and broaden the reach of equal rights in this country," Obama said. "I strongly believe that African Americans and the LGBT community must stand together in the fight for equal rights. And so I strongly disagree with Reverend McClurkin's views and will continue to fight for these rights as president of the United States to ensure that America is a country that spreads tolerance instead of division."

The statement did not say whether McClurkin will still perform on the tour.

"We strongly urge Obama to part ways with this divisive preacher who is clearly singing a different tune than the stated message of the campaign," Wayne Besen, executive director of Truth Wins Out, said in a statement.

At a forum on gay issues in August, Obama argued that civil unions for same-sex couples wouldn't be a "lesser thing" than marriage. Obama belongs to the United Church of Christ, which supports gay marriage, but Obama has yet to go that far.

In a telephone interview Monday, Besen said he admired Obama, but wasn't ready to endorse him, especially considering McClurkin taking part in the campaign's "Embrace the Change" concert tour.

"I think he'd be a great president. But I think it's going to drive away support from people who are on the fence such as myself," Besen said.

McClurkin is a Grammy Award winner who performed at the Republican National Convention in 2004. He told AP Radio in an interview that September that he was "once involved with those desires and those thoughts," which he attributed to being raped at 8 and 13.

"That's what thrust me into it, and then God delivered me from that and gave me back who I really am and my true purpose," McClurkin said.

Does anyone else think the dresses on these chicks will fall off??

I do!!

I'm all about style. I'm all about fashion. I'm all for taking risks. I"m all for haute couture. I'm even all for being a fashion pioneer and wearing crap that's just plain ridiculous, but am I the only one here worried that the dresses are going to fall off these chicas below? If you're not going to wear a bra, that's your perrogative. If you're going to wear a strapless dress, that's your right. But please, for the love of all things fashion, don't make me sit here, perched on the edge of my seat, worried that your dress is going to fall. I may sound like i'm still pissed but i'm really not. Really.

Cate Blanchett - I know we all adore her. She's one of the most versatile actresses and one of the foremost fashion risktakers during awards season. I love her because she's a good actress and one of the few who have abstained from botox. She's always part of these really excellent movies, like Babel, Elizabeth, you get the picture, right? So anywhooooo ---



Heather Graham - She's a cool actress too, but this dress is close to hitting the ground......


Jennifer Love Hewitt
another cool actress who hasn't been to rehab yet, but this dress is about to fall off.


Maybe I'm just been paronoid and maybe its just me. But then Jennifer Connelly just pisses the hell out me in this contraption below. C'mon now..........

How my love for soccer healed me........

Sooooo, I had to work late last night. Not that its unusual, but I wasn't pleased. Today I woke up at 6.30 am to throw the alarm clock across the room. Then I rolled over and went back to bed. I woke at 7.30 am again to walk across the room, pick up the alarm clock from where I threw it last, open the battery case, remove the batteries and throw the damn thing in the thrash. What was it thinking? Waking me up to go to work. Yeah, that. So I got back into bed until my damn girlfriends starting emailing me at 9.30 am. The damn blackberry (which I will hereafter refer to as my parole officer or ankle bracelet) starting vibrating. I thought it was my boss so I rolled over, picked it up, cursed silently and read the email. It wasn't just one email, but five...... from my friends. Nothing in particular. Just idle chatter. I turned the damn ankle bracelet off and went back to sleep. I woke up at 10am to someone pounding on my front door. Apparently, something with the plumbing? whatev!! I'd had enough. I pulled on my sweats, brushed my teeth, packed up my stuff and headed to work---to work out.
As I walked into the office building the security guard at the front desk stopped to ask if she could help me. I guess she didn't recognize me because I wasn't in a suit. My face hadn't changed. I still had the same ratty ponytail. Apart from my outfit or lack thereof, I looked the same as I did when I walked out of the office building last night. She was really testing my patience. She repeated herself three time and I answered three times saying "no." Then she stepped up in my face, in my personal space and repeated herself. Ok, last straw. I turned around and told her "look you wench. [and i used wench because she knew damn well who i was. she just doesn't that to all the noncaucasian folks who work in the building. damn wench].....No you cannot help me." Let me ask you three questions.....
Me: are you going to give me the winning mega million numbers?
Wench: No ..........(looking quite confused and appropriately perturbed)
Me: are you going to find me a rich husband?
Wench: No..........(looking freaked out)
Me: Are you going to do my job for me?
Wench: No...........(looking pissed and starting to get confrontational
Me: Then NO, you can't freaggin help me. Why are you asking me if you can help me when you know you can't? Why are you asking me if you can help me if its not going to change the fact that I still have to go upstairs to work? If you're not going to go upstairs and sit in my office and do my damn job and deal with those rasses i deal with on the regular, then NO, you cannot help me and don't ask me if you can. Just stay out of my way. I'm going down the hall to the gym, work out my aggression on the treadmill and head upstairs to my office. Just stay out of my freaggin way ok. Can you help me? Don't freaggin test me!!!

So I worked out......... showered, meditated and took the elevator up to my office. I saw my assistant as soon as I stepped out the elevator. She was freaking out because it was 11 am and all these people were looking for me. All these people had left all these messages for me to like call them. Because like they needed me to like pdf them these documents that they like needed for like this really really urgent matter? I nodded and said "well, ok. i'm here now."

I sat at my desk and checked my voicemail. 15 messages. Everyone needed something. Everything was urgent. I deleted all the messages and did some work. Four hours later. No calls. No one checked to see if I was around. Guess what? Those MFKRs actually did the work they needed themselves. Shoot. So, they can work huh? I was learning slowly. Learning how to regulate the craziness that is "the demands of my job." All these time I've been running crazy trying to do everything for everyone because they always need everything "yesterday." And today I finally find out they don't. They're just using me? OK.

Six hours later, some random chick I occassionally work with called and asked me to pdf her some documents that she had in her office already. Her assistant was out and she didn't feel like doing it herself. I told her where to find them. She told me she knew where they were but didn't have the time to get them. Really??? So what the heck do you think I am? You call me across state lines to ask me to pdf it to you across state lines? You're not my boss. You're not my supervisor. You're not on my team and I don't work for you. How dare you? I told her exactly what physically impossible things she could go do to herself and hung up on her. I was setting boundaries. Today was not the day and I was not the one.

Then I worked for another couple of hours and headed home. I checked my mail. The post office had messed up and delivered some other dude's mail to my house. This was the third time in two weeks. I called the post office and they told me they'd take care of it but that they were having some issues? Really? How the frack does that affect me. I need my damn mail so that I can pay my damn bills. How's that for issues? What the frack does it matter that you're having issues. I was pissed. And then I looked down at the dude's mail.....................

And I thought, why can't I make lemonade out of lemons, you know? Why can't I just smile and be happy. After all, I was staring down at a soccer magazine with david beckham's face on it. Now, I love soccer. I watch the world cup and I think apart from basketball, it has the highest concentration of hot men. Hot men with wonderful foreign accents and beautiful chiseled bodies. So I figured I'd just entertain myself with the hotness that is Beckham............ Picture source














Then of course, there was the hotness that is Manchester United player Christiano Ronaldo

Let's just say I'm not so pissed anymore. And then of course while posting this on the blog I came across the illegal hotness that is zac effron....... seriously he's only what? turned 20 this week....... so wrong


You're probably thinking its just a regular day.......why is this chick so angry? Guess what? It's my damn perrogative if i want to be angry? Don't you need to be working anyway? Why are you loitering around on this blog?
