Chick Chat

One of the reasons why I fail miserably at dating is because I never know the rules. About a month ago, I met this cutie at Chase Bank (who we shall affectionately call Chase). As I checked my depressing checking and savings accounts, the batting of the eyelashes and the totally unnecessarily smiling commenced. “So you should take […]

Carrie Bradshaw is my imaginary Caucasian big sister who I admire in almost every sense and aim to emulate. Needless to say, when ‘The Carrie Diaries–” a show that flashbacks to Bradshaw’s teen years–aired, I was all in. I felt slightly lame for being so amped to watch a show whose audience is probably matriculating […]

Why doesn’t society paint emotional abuse to be as intolerable and unacceptable as physical abuse? I recently started recalling all the instances of friends and loved ones who had been in either physically and/or emotionally abusive relationships and I replayed the dynamics in my head. It seemed as though my three girlfriends who had been […]

In this week’s edition of Blank Stare News: Ray-J’s “I Hit It First” On a seemingly blissful Friday, I, like everyone else in my office, patiently waited for 5 o’clock to hit and begin my 48 hours of freedom. But then, straight out of the conclaves of what the f*ck, Ray J releases a blurred […]

One day they’re on, the next they’re off, the next they’re on again. You never know what you’re going to get with hot pop couple Rihanna and Chris Brown, whose unpredictable relationship headlines the blogs about four times a week. As of now, no one really knows where the two troubled lovebirds stand, but last […]

I went back and forth with relaxed and natural hair from middle school to college. For me, hair was just never that deep. From 2009-2010, I transitioned with the help of 16-inch weaves and blowouts until I finally chopped off the remaining relaxer and wore my lovely kinks in a cute, moderately sized, curly ‘fro—who […]

I was lollygagging at work dreading my commute home when my fellow 9-to-5’er, Danielle Young told us a story about one of her roommates. Her roommate confided in her about her loser boyfriend. She finally got the strength to kick the John to the curb, but before Danielle could get through a commercial break of […]

Claudia Jordan recently did an interview on the urban radio show, Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club. She was pretty open when discussing everything from her non-existent beef with Tamar Braxton to her past boos. Before closing the interview, DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne initiated “Marry, Fu*k, Kill”—a game in which the guest is given three […]

In case you haven’t yet heard, you will soon catch wind of Emeli Sandé. The 26-years-young British singer/songwriter has been playing the piano since she was 10 and singing even before then. To date, she’s penned jams for Tine Tempah, Wiley, Susan Boyle and others. Last year, Emeli lent her lyrical composition skills to her […]

My mother told me a long time ago that I was the type of person who, when wronged, will bark first then ask questions later. She also pointed out to me (as if I did not know) that I give off a “do not ‘F’ with me under any circumstances” type of vibe at times […]

My favorite morning radio show The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 recently interviewed songstress and “LAHH: Atlanta’s” K. Michelle. The Memphis native is known to be an open book to the public eye, whether dishing her business in interviews or singing it to a jam available for purchase on iTunes—or both. So when I saw […]

I nearly gagged when I read about the ménage à trois between former prison pals Orlando DeWitt, Ashley Hunter (a male partner) and a woman by the name of Leticia they met on Friday, February 8th. Long story short, DeWitt and Hunter welcomed the weekend by partying it up at a local bar. They took […]
