<p>Hey Cupcakes,<br />
It&#8217;s Music Monday&#8230;<br />
I make an effort to share positivity whenever possible. My Twitter friends who follow me on <a href="http://www.glam.com/videos/publisher/published_by_planetabiolashow" target="_blank"><strong>@AbiolaTv </strong></a>know that I start each day with a brief bit of motivation before jumping back into the fun and scandal.<br />
My boy Tyrese Gibson is celebrity who also feels it&#8217;s important to develop a personal relationship with his fans. Here&#8217;s a recent message that he left on his Say Now Fan Hotline that goes way past the usual &#8220;Keep Ya Head Up&#8221; that some people throw at you these days with nothing to back it up.</p>
<p>Listen!</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="65" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="name" value="player" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><param name="align" value="middle" /><param name="flashvars" value="itemId=ZVF1b0FsSVlhQnhvYmhrbHdTNG1oQT09&amp;autoplay=0&amp;duration=10000" /><param name="src" value="http://www.saynow.com/flash/sentplayer3.swf" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="65" src="http://www.saynow.com/flash/sentplayer3.swf" flashvars="itemId=ZVF1b0FsSVlhQnhvYmhrbHdTNG1oQT09&amp;autoplay=0&amp;duration=10000" align="middle" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="player"></embed></object><br />
Oh &#8212; And don&#8217;t leave me by my lonesome- leave me a COMMENT. You can also reach me on my Say Now Hotline (917) 267-2607. Some people won&#8217;t like you no matter what so just be your crazy, sexy,  cool, weird selves &amp; give the haters something to talk about!<br />
&#8211;<br />
Thanks for hanging with your girl, Abiola Abrams, &#8220;Miss Picky&#8221; on VH1&#8242;s Tough Love, the author of Dare, the host of The Planet Abiola Show online, and the former host of BET&#8217;s The Best Short Films.

<p>It&#8217;s Music Monday&#8230;</p>
<p>Singer Lalah Hathaway&#8217;s father Donny Hathaway was an incredible soul music artist who has been name checked by Nas, Amy Winehouse, Common and  Jim Jones. His influence can be clearly heard in the style of modern day crooners like John Legend and Music Soulchild. It was a pleasure to sit down with Lalah Hathaway and discuss her current musical project Self Portrait. Her voice is melodic and she is a gorgeous woman with a beautiful soul-the perfect heir apparent to such a throne. I love her confidence and unapologetic flavor, and it was wonderful to learn about her father&#8217;s work.  Watch the video below&#8230;</p>

But it&#8217;s not bad&#8230; the song&#8217;s a little depressing, so it makes you feel some kind of way. And is it just me, or does the lead chick look a little like <a href="http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&amp;q=jessica%20szohr&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=N&amp;tab=wi" target="_blank">Jessica Szohr from &#8220;Gossip Girl</a>&#8220;?</p>
