SHANE ELI: A TASTE OF WHAT’S TO COME

Allow me to introduce to you an up and coming artist who is so multi-talented. He has written, produced and recorded his own album called “The Push” set to release on June 15th. I personally am excited for this album to drop. Shane Eli, a charming kid from L.A. who has truly impressed me over the few months that I’ve been lucky enough to know him, is living his dream. But the sky is not the limit it is only the checkpoint! You see people trying to promote their music via facebook, myspace, twitter, or out the back of their trunk…and I honestly haven’t heard anything that I would bat an eyelash at. But this kid right here nigga…this kid right here…is the TRUTH!! First song I heard from him is called “Grey Area” and I knew right then that this dude got something here… So I continued to follow Mr. Shane and he just continued to impress me.



I’ve seen him come leaps and bounds in such a short time seem like. Not to mention his lil gig he had on Fox Business Network a few weeks ago, talking about his recording efforts. I’m still trying to figure out why I was so hyped he was on tv…like it was me on there lol. I guess it’s just because I was so proud of him and I believe in him so much. I know he is going nowhere but UP!!!



Besides his talent, Shane is a kind-hearted person, real down to earth kind of guy, and has a great sense of humor. That type of genuineness and sincerity coupled with his extraordinary talent will be a 1-2 punch that’s undeniable in the music business. So he better not get big-headed haha. And ladies if nothing else give him a chance just cuz he’s easy on the eyes lol. Recently Shane was kind enough to answer some questions so that I and the rest of the world can get to know him just a little bit better:

SF: Where were you born and raised? What were the struggles you encountered growing up as a bi-racial child?
I was born in Canada, grew up mostly in Los Angeles, and lived in the Bahamas for extended periods. I think the struggles I encountered were ones I partially created for myself. As a kid, you don’t realize that people say things just to stop you from shining, and those aren’t the people you should take seriously, but as a kid it still hurts. I think that everyone has some kind of identity issues they’re working through, but for me, growing up biracial meant I didn’t really know where I fit in. I wasn‘t “black enough” for some, and I was “too black” for others. What I ended up realizing is, I belong everywhere, and because of that upbringing, I feel comfortable in almost any social situation.



SF: When you were little what did you want to be when you grew up?
The first thing I can remember wanting to be is a spy. I grew up watching James Bond movies (the old Connery joints) and then I realized real spies don’t just sleep with beautiful girls and wear fresh tuxes. I really liked Biology, so after giving up on my spy dreams, I thought about being a marine biologist - but it didn’t take long before I realized I wanted to do something in the arts. I used to draw a lot and I’ve been writing poetry and lyrics since I was a teenager. Arts and Entertainment became more of a focus as I grew up.

SF: What is the very 1st album you ever purchased?
I owned a bunch of cassette tapes that were mixes of stuff, but the first CD I remember buying was Wrecks n’ Effect’s “Hard or Smooth” when I was 10 years old. Rump Shaker is still one of the most ridiculous beats ever.

SF: Who are your inspirations?
As far as writing lyrics is concerned, there are the obvious influences: Biggie, Jay-Z, Common and Outkast, but there’s also the Pharcyde, The Alkaholiks and the DOC. Growing up in LA, there was a lot of stuff to choose from in the early 90’s and the latter half really stood out to me as unique and expressive in a way that some artists are lacking today. On the production side, I pull from everywhere. I listen to more rock/soul/reggae and electronic music than I do hip-hop, so when I make beats I don’t feel pressured to follow the current trends. When I first started, I tried to emulate my favorite producers so I could sound relevant, Timbo, Just Blaze, Neptunes, et al., but now I feel comfortable drawing little bits of everything I’m into and melding it together to suit my mood.

SF: Tell me your unique story of recording this album “The Push”.
I spent the better part of four years teaching myself how to make music. Most Friday nights, I’d stay in the house just making beats until all hours of the night. I tried to place tracks with some local artists who were really talented but couldn’t put the business side of things together. I got frustrated waiting for other people to hustle and get my name out. I decided to make The Push because I was tired of waiting. I wrote, produced and recorded the entire album in the bedroom and kitchen of my Los Angeles apartment. All 15 tracks on The Push are original – created without sampling other artists’ works. When I finished it, I put up a post on a music blog asking if anyone knew of an engineer that could mix on the cheap, and I got a response from Damien Lewis, assistant engineer to the legendary Phil Tan at Atlanta’s Soapbox Studios. The dude was a GODSEND. Not only an amazing engineer, but a good guy, who really helped with advice and connecting me with mastering engineer Johnny Horesco, whose recent credits include Usher, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Bow Wow.

SF: What made you take a leap of faith to produce and record an album on your own?
I realized that I had the potential to do it, but kept living off that potential instead of actually DOING it. So many times I’m around intelligent, creative people who are capable of so much, but because they know that they’re capable of it, they never follow through. They’re content with just knowing. I decided I had to know if I could really do it. So, on Jan 1st 2010 I got a tattoo – it was a quote my mom had on a bulletin board when I was a kid, “THOSE WHO DON’T CREATE THE FUTURE THEY WANT MUST ENDURE THE FUTURE THEY GET” (Draper L. Kauffman). I didn’t tell anyone about the tattoo. On January 2nd, I started recording. I would come home from work and either make a beat or record a song. The upsides to producing, recording and engineering an album on your own are limitless creative control and a flexible timeline - but there are huge downsides as far as recording quality and promotion are concerned — recording your lyrics in a linen closet is not a good look. But I put every ounce of my soul, and everything I could afford into this, so I’m going to throw it out there and see if it sticks.

SF: When making the album did you ever feel discouraged or want to give up? If so, what made you keep ‘PUSHing’?
No, I didn’t really get discouraged. I think there were times I wished I could afford a better piece of a equipment, and times when I wished I could call in a live horn section or something to make a song sound way bigger, but I was realistic with my goals for this album. Considering the limited resources, I think it sounds pretty good, and it’s a good starting point for where I can go with my music in the future.

SF: The track you produced for Diggy is sick! And in the words of my sister ‘disgusting’…lol. How did you come about working with Dig on the song “What They Been Waiting For”?
Haha, tell your sister I love her. The Diggy song came about in a funny way actually. I was just about to log off Twitter, when someone retweeted something in my news feed about “submit tracks to diggymanagement@blahblah.com” - so I quickly emailed three beats to that address. I thought nothing of it - then three weeks later I got a call from Diggy’s manager and he bugged out like, “this shit is ridiculous…we want it,” and that was that. Diggy recorded the song the next week and shot the video a couple days after that.


SF: If you could collaborate with any artist dead or alive who would it be and why?
That’s a great question, and it’s tough to answer. I think I would collaborate with Fela Kuti if I had the chance. My dad is Nigerian, and although he left when I was born, my mom told me about Fela from when I was young. When I really started listening to Fela’s music it changed my life. Here was a guy battling corruption, genocide and injustice in his native country, and he was making socially conscious music, but it could make you dance your ass off, and the music is still as relevant today as it was then. No one has been able to touch Fela, and no one will. He stands alone.

SF: What’s the craziest/funniest thing that’s ever happened to you?
Well, I’ve had a lot of crazy and funny things happen, but I was just telling someone this story the other day, so I’ll tell you too… Most people don’t know that I’m almost 6 feet 7 inches tall, and I was once responsible for temporarily shutting down Space Mountain at Disneyland because I couldn’t fit in the seat on the roller coaster. I refused to get off the ride because we had waited in line for 90 minutes to get on, so they had to stop our car from launching while they figured out a solution. Needless to say I received death threats from a lot of third graders that day.

CELEBRITY CAPRICORNS

Some of you may know that I’m a reality show junkie. I like all the crazy shows from Jersey Shore to Basketball Wives. My three fave reality stars are Kristen Cavallari from Laguna Beach and The Hills, Tiffany Pollard aka New York from Flavor of Love and I Love New York, and Natalie Nunn from Bad Girls Club 4. I’m usually the only one in my group of friends who likes these girls and they consider them the villain or the bitch. But I love them and how they keep it real.




I see a lot of myself in them. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not lol. We all have similar personalities, fun-loving, life of the party (lop), a little bit crazy. I think the girls are hilarious and so much fun, but can be vicious at times. I’m not vicious at all however. So I’ve been trying to find out why I like them so much and why I relate to them so much, and after doing some research I found that we all are Capricorns. Kristen Cav and I actually share the same birthday, January 5th.



So if you are lookin for a laid-back, cool, fun chick, that don’t take any mess…date a CAPRICORN!!

ERIN VS. OLIVIA

Erin Kaplan and Olivia Palermo are in the heat of battle in an epically passive-aggressive duel to the death on the MTV hit “The City”. Whitney Port, the fashion designer for Whitney Eve, stars in the show with just the right amount of fashion, parties, and Kelly Cutrone.

In season 3, I’ve noticed Whitney standing up for herself more, being more direct and stern, and more decisive. She still seems a bit naïve though as she gives Roxy a little too much reign in her fashion line, against Kelly’s advice.

If you still aren’t convinced of why you should watch the show, because maybe quirky, cunning, one-liners from Kelly Cutrone, or fabulous fashion and parties aren’t your cup of tea. But the constant head-butting from Erin and Olivia is just pure hilarity. You will love to hate Olivia and be #teamerin all day long. From Olivia’s snobby attitude and smart-mouth remarks to Erin’s facial expressions, there is something for everyone. “The City” airs on Tuesdays @ 10:30pm.

HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE

This applies to girlfriends too! Men… you complain about how your chick gets on your nerves because they nag you. Have you ever thought of the reason why they are nagging? It’s probably because you aren’t doing something right!!!

Are you taking her out on dates? No matter how long you’ve been together DO NOT STOP GOING ON DATES! Or maybe you should just rub her feet! Women innately want to take care of their men. But hard-headed men just make it so difficult. Men, appreciate your women and take notice of the little things, trust me, the fruits of you labor will be bountiful!!!

MY CURRENT FASHION TASTE

1st of all my style is ever-changing. I like lots of different things from Bohemian-hippie to rocker-chic to b-girl. But right now I really love plain v-neck tees or plain tanks with crazy jewelry. ACCESSORIZE, ACCESSORIZE, ACCESSORIZE! I will dress up a white tee with a chunky necklace, crazy earrings, and bangles. I also like to jazz up a plain outfit with a cute vest with embellishments or something like that.

I’ve been on a stud earrings kick lately. For those who know me, I’m infamous for giant hoop earrings. But nowadays I love flower-shaped stud earrings. They are so cute and look great with any kind of outfit.

Fave 5 picks: orange flower stud earrings
Metallic gladiator sandals
White v-neck tee
Native-American style vest
Black skinny jeans

Fave 5 make-up picks: Covergirl purple eyeshadow
Rimmel wine blush
Covergirl Lash Blast
Carmex
Brown retractable eyeliner

IS 50 CENT DYING?

In this pic he looks like he hit the crack pipe one too many times or something, but apparently he is just very committed to a role he is playing as a football player with cancer. He lost FIFTY pounds...oh boy never needs to do that again. He is scary...like alien type scary. YUCK!!

IS HEIDI SCARED OF SPENCER?

Have you seen how crazy nut job Spencer Pratt has been acting lately?? I would be scared too!!! We have all witnessed how volatile Spencer has been on past episodes of ‘The Hills’. They are worshipping crystals in the club wth? Spencer told Kristen that he does not allow Heidi to watch TV, get online, she just has to stay in the house and write poetry and read books.

So I wonder…is Heidi just crazy like Spencer or is she scared? Scared of what Spencer might do if she disagrees with him. Spencer is extremely controlling and seems to be his puppet. She will not do anything without his approval. She has completely been cut off from the world, changing her phone number. Pictures were recently posted of Spencer standing guard of their house with binoculars and a marine to ensure of no intruders. Now that is scary!

Also Heidi has scheduled her next plastic surgery…this is number 13. She is going to have her breasts done again to a H cup. ‘H for Heidi’. Spencer claims that he tells Heidi that she doesn’t need any more surgeries…but my God it’s too late Spencer. You have already created a monster. I have no doubt in my mind that he encouraged her to get plastic surgery in the beginning because he wanted his little ‘Barbie trophy wife’, and now she will never look good enough in her eyes. This is truly sad to me. Oh and when Heidi was featured on Ryan Seacrest show, and Ryan told Heidi (as a compliment) oh your boobs don’t even look that big, Heidi was shocked. Because in her crazy mind, Ryan had just solidified her own thoughts that her breasts were not big enough.

Heidi can’t even do some of the things she used to enjoy such as working out because of her large breasts and she can’t even do the things that are necessary like eat because of the work she has had done on her face. Even the woman with the world’s biggest boobs, Sheyla Hershey, says that Heidi should stop…now that’s saying something! She is a KKK-cup. Whoa that’s offensive. Haha!

HALLE CAN’T KEEP A MAN

If Halle Berry can’t keep a man…how will we? All these break-ups she is having is making me nervous yo. As most of us have probably heard Halle Berry recently hit splitsville with her baby’s daddy, Garbriel Aubry. I honestly thought he would be the one. Guess not. She has had two failed marriages and now this break up. She swore off marriage, so when Gabriel proposed to her several times of course she turned him down. Halle broke poor Gabe’s heart. She really needs to find a way to keep the romance alive, but I think this will be an issue for her until she gets down to the root of the problem.

The real problem is Halle. I think the pressure of her being the ‘most beautiful woman alive’ is sabotaging her love life. How can a man ever validate the MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ALIVE??? I think in my opinion that she needs her men to always tell her how pretty and wonderful she is constantly. And a man cannot keep up with that kind of drama. Does anyone else agree? She seems like the clingy and needy type, but she does not want to get married again…the whole thing seems odd. Basically what I’m saying is it doesn’t matter how much money you have in the bank or how beautiful the world tells you that you are, if you don’t feel beautiful on the inside nothing else matters. If you don’t love yourself or feel good about yourself no one else will be able to give you the love that you need. I wish the best for her and I hope she finds true love because she def deserves it.

FIST PUMPIN’ FOR LOVE

Just when you thought reality tv couldn’t get trashier…SPEIDI produces a new show called ‘Fist Pumping for Love’ with Emilio Masella, which is Snooki’s ex-boyfriend. To be quite honest this might turn out to be a hit, Spencer Pratt might have something here…

But it is random as heck that Speidi is producing the show. How do they even know about that juicehead guido Emilio. Snooki dumped his Italian behind when she found out he was cheating on her. What a winner. So now cameras will be following him around the country to try to find the perfect Italian woman. Are there girls out there really that desperate? Wait a minute…of course there are i.e. Flavor of love, Rock of Love, and For the Love of Ray J.

Well I might just add this to my guilty pleasure list of reality tv!! Stayed tuned…

KIM + CRISTIANO = KIMSTIANO

Kim Kardashian went from one bad boy to another. He fine though!! Kim is now dating world soccer star great, Cristiano Ronaldo. After the messy break-up with Reggie Bush (who is grimy by the way) she has set her eyes on this hot, Portuguese sexy symbol. I wish nothing but the best for Kim, but dang girl you are dumb!

You flipped out when Reggie cheated on you with Carmen Ortega and who knows who else, so you wanna date Cristiano now…really??? I hope he is just someone to have fun with. Because good luck trying to make an honest man out of him. He’s well known for soccer and even more known for his dangerous lifestyle of sexual relationships with hundreds probably thousands of women. He’s been arrested, escorts, group sex and all this nonsense. Kim must have been mesmerized by his rat-tail haha.

I’m sure I’ll be posting soon about how they broke up, if they haven’t already.

CELEBRITY STATE OF MIND

Some like to hate on me about the people I meet, and situations I find myself in (in a kidding way…I think). Yeah I always say I’m a celebrity, but I’m just playing people!! I’m not delusional, I just live my life the way I want to, and I have fun doing it. All my friends know I’m crazy (in a good way of course lol). But the celebrity life is my destiny…bet ya that!

I do believe however that being a celebrity can be a state of mind. Carpe dium! Livin life to the fullest. Travelling, meeting new people, and networking, tryna make it to the top (ethically is key). And that’s all that I’m doing. They don’t call me Stunna for no reason lol. I’ve always been out there and crazy and me and my crew are always the L.O.P.’S…ask Too $hort.

I do everything that a celebrity would do…VIP all day, have fun regardless if you are, I don’t care what people think of me. And thanks to me getting older and finding who I am and accepting everything about myself that can’t be changed…I’ve really learned to love myself and to just do me. I used to worry about if this person liked me or if this person was mad at me. But guess what? Don’t care. You can be replaced believe dat!! True friends are rare, and I have my group of peoples that I trust and that’s what it is.

So in closing. There is nothing wrong with living a celebrity lifestyle (as long as you don’t become a dope fiend). I’m faking it until I make it, you feel me? DON’T JUDGE ME! Because if you are you’re just jealous. Gotta be flashy, what’s the fun in blending in the background? Stand up for yourself! Say ‘no’ sometimes, don’t be a pushover. Treat people well, even if they don’t deserve it all that much, because everyone you meet might be able to help you move up some way or another. Get the best of the best and if you can’t afford it then get the best fake of the best haha! Don’t be cheap, but be responsible. When you die you can’t bring your money with you so just go ahead and spend that extra for VIP…go BIG or go home boo-boo. Dress to impress…but to impress yourself! Do your own style and not what you think is popular. And if you are going to dress to impress then women need to dress for women. If you go by this guideline you won’t dress like a skank haha. So this is all the advice I have for now…any questions or suggestions feel free to comment! One love!!

MARIO: HE'S JUST A FRIEND...OR NOT

So since I been living in Indy I've had several celebrity run ins but none more memorable than meeting Mario at Cloud 9. So me and stunna went to the trey songz mario and day 26 concert to support our boys day 26 since we're good friends and all....lol. We heard about the after party and decided to go and see if we could kick it with them again. We got to the after party and immediately made it our mission to get into vip cause we wouldn't have it any other way. So were dancing looking up to see who all is in there and to our dismay...no day 26 but we see mario hanging all over the walls acting crazy.

So we try and enlist the help of our promoter friend who will remain nameless to try and get us into to vip with him. He pretty much disses us and can't get us in. So at this point we have to improvise. I was dancing doing my thing when I see this fine light skinned dude eyeing me from vip. Stunna informed me that he opened the show at the concert.


So I use this to my advantage. He calls us up to vip so of course we go up there. As soon as I walk up I see mario. He looks finer in person than he does on tv so I get a lil excited. I chat up this dude for a while and decide I want to go over and ask mario for a pic.

As a walk up to him he's having a conversation with someone else so I patiently wait till he gets done. I ask him could I get a picture. I'm thinking he's going to be gracious and say yes but to my surprise he says excuse me but it would be nice if you introduced yourself first....I don't even know your name. I tell him that my name is jasmine and that I knew he was busy and that I waited for him to get done talking so I could have a pic. He proceeded to tell me that he has been waiting on people all day and that its very disrespectful to just come up to him and ask for a pic. By this point I'm a little offended and insulted so I tell him forget about the picture and I walk away. I might not be a celebrity but I know a thing or two about humility, it goes a long way.



LOVE FIZZ

THE DAY I MET DAY 26

When I met Day 26 I thought I could die a happy woman. I’ve been a uber fan since Making The Band 4. I hand-picked the band myself with the exception of Que and I picked Jeremy instead (I just loved his southern charm).

But who would’ve known that Que would have later become my favorite!!

So last summer I’m mingling at the All Black Dress party, meeting lots of people with my girls, Fizz and Leah-bia. Fizz disappears somewhere as she often does; I later hear her calling my name. I look over and she’s kickin it with Brian and Rob like its nothing lol. I go over introduce myself. We take some pix and chit-chat and then we keep it moving.

A little later we all see Willie. Poor Willie!! Lol we molested that man haha. We was all rubbing all over his body haha, feeling on his booootttttyyyy (r.kelly voice). It was funny because he didn’t seem fazed. He was just laughing and said, ‘yall are crazy’. And we are! We took some more pix with Will, and then kept it moving.


Then I saw Big Mike, he was chillin at a table with his glasses on looking all studious, and at this point I’m feelin myself haha. So I go up to him (a complete stranger) and sit on his lap. He was like ‘wow you have an interesting way of introducing yourself’ lol. I was like oh my bad…so I took some pix with him and kept it moving.

Then finally I met him…QUE-baby. Wow wow wow. I love me some Que. I went up to him introduced myself, gave him a hug…and then another lol. Then I was thinking stunna get it together yo. So I chatted with him and I made sure I let him know that I tweet him all the time and he never responses. He smiled and said my bad and was like ‘ I get thousands of tweets at once I don’t even read most of them because its just way too much’. I was like oh ok. He promised he would tweet me back if he recognized me, and then said ‘I’ll probably recognize that smile (yeah sure). They will say anything won’t they lol. Its all good though because I was just hyped to even get to meet and talk with him. So we took some more pix and kicked it.

I see Rob and I ask him to come over. He reminded me several times how tall I was (I’m probably 6’2 with heels on) . I said ‘I know I’m taller than most people’. He was like ‘that’s ok cuz you still look good’…as well as some other things haha. I was so happy at this point. Kickin it with Que, Rob flirting with me lol. HAPPY!! So then Fizz and I took more pix with Rob and Que. Wow it was so much fun.





Presently Que has been let go from the group unfortunately, and I’m anxious to see the new dynamic that will be Day 26 minus Que. I remember in the last few episodes of Making The Band 4 they repeatedly would say no one member is bigger than the band. The band will be nothing without Brian, Will, Mike, Rob, AND Que. I obviously do not know what happened in the background, but I guess it was getting to be unbearable to the point where they broke away from Que. As if the break-up of Danity Kane wasn’t hard enough for me…then this! Gosh! I wish Day 26 and Que THE BEST OF LUCK. And I know they will continue to do great things.

iHateKatStacks

What is really wrong with THIS heffa? She has a problem. Where was her father when she was growing up? He couldn’t have been in the picture the way she turned out…I really do feel bad for this chick.

So ya’ll know who Kat Stacks is right? Aka Potty Mouth…why is she called Potty Mouth? “Because she lets guys potty in her mouth”-@missnatalienunn. She is this busted up wannabe Karrinne Stefans aka Superhead. The only thing is, Superhead is a very smart business woman. Kat Stacks is just an idiot. She think she is exposing all these celebrities about their escapades...but you a dime a dozen boo-boo. You aint the only groupie who smashed these rappers and what not.

So this girl gets on youtube and tells her lame stories of what guy she gave head to or smashed. And she gives out everyone’s phone number…for what? They are just going to change their number so what harm was done? And she has the nerve to tell all her stories for free and say she is writing a book. You idiot…who is going to read the book when you tell everyone who you smashed on youtube.

Besides her book is going to look like Precious wrote it: yah nd I sukked off bowwow fo lik fo-ty fiv minuts nd he wuldnt nut…nd I was lik wat wron wit u hows cum u aint nut yet?

For real though…that’s how she talks!!! Dummy!!! She is famous…more like infamous, but she is not making any stacks…so I think her name is false advertising haha. She is beefin with everyone, but only because she wants to extend her 15 minutes of fame. I’m too mad at Joe Budden for giving her all that shine on his twitter page some days ago.

As a matter of fact I’m giving her too much shine right now…so I’ma end this blog RIGHT NOW!! DUECES.

NO KID'N IT'S KID CAPRI

I was hanging out downtown Indianapolis one night during expo and my friends and I were by the hotdog stand. Getting ready to SMASH! My homegirls were talking to some guys and I was wandering around aimlessly, not sure what I was doing exactly, when out of nowhere Kid Capri walks by me. I’m like ‘whoa whoa wait up’. He stops and we start chattin it up. I’m like ‘you are Kid Capri’. He’s like ‘yep’. I’m so geeked at this point. I give him a hug and ask him a few questions, grinning ear to ear. I asked him what he was up to. He told me he just finished dj’ing at the All White Affair. I’m mad cuz I wanted to go to that party but we went to Blu instead. But I’m still happy too because I’m talking to Kid Capri…KID CAPRI…no kid’n man!! Lol.

I ask him what he is doing tomorrow. He told me he would be dj’ing at the All Star Basketball game and the afterparty. So I knew right then what my plans for the next day would be haha. So I’m ecstatic, it was a great way to start my fun weekend of craziness. I asked him if he was on twitter, which he replied ‘yes, @kidcapri101!’. And then he asked for my twitter name. I told him ‘@chelleshell13’. I asked him to follow me. He said he would. I was like yeah right haha.

I call up my BFF and she doesn’t answer so I leave her the most frantic hyped voicemail. To this day she talks about that voicemail I left her. That’s her favorite story of me haha.

So when I get back to my homegirl’s crib I log on to twitter to follow him…and he was following me already. I was so SHOCKED. So we tweeted a couple times at 3:30 IN DA MORNING. He really made my day…and I just wanted to let him know that.

THE 6TH HOUSEWIFE

Who doesn’t love Dwight Eubanks from Real Housewives of Atlanta? That show is truly one of the most entertaining on television, and especially with the help of the 6th housewife. Me loving Dwight as much as I do, I was extremely excited when I decided to go to Atlanta last summer. I’ve been a million times before of course because of family, and college days when I lived in Chattanooga. So my main goal was to meet at least one housewife…and I met TWO!! LOL.

Here’s the back story…my friend and I talked about meeting Dwight and NeNe on the entire road trip from Indiana. We were on our way to ATL for the hairshow. We had so much fun kickin it around ATL. One night we ran into D.Woods coming out of this bomb restaurant that we ate at. I asked her what she has been up to these days post Danity Kane. She gave me some generic answer and told me to check out some music on her website…I don’t remember the site now. She was very sweet. Took a few pix with us. Blah blah blah. We also saw Bone Crusher at the same restaurant. He was walking around on a cane. Poor guy…he does have a lot of weight to carry around every day. And the Atlanta Dream was also having dinner there. Of course some people thought I was on the team being that I’m almost 6 feet. Wish I was but sadly not. Lol.

The next day we saw tons of other stars like Chris Rock and Nia Long, Tiny & Toya, Pretty Ricky and list goes on. And I was too excited when I saw Derrick J and oh boy from Housewives of Atlanta, but it was not good enough. So as we are walking around we sit on this bench to cool our heels. My friend gets up and sees she is sitting on something. We look at this crinkled, half-ripped flyer and what do we see… “COME PARTY WITH DWIGHT EUBANKS TONIGHT”. Omg, we trippin at this point like ‘for reals’. This is fate haha. Of course we are going to go, no doubts at all. We saw cover was $40 however, which kinda sucked but hey do what you gotta do right? So we go to the party…valet greets us…we walk in and cover is donations accepted. I was like ‘shut the front door’. So my friend and I pay $20…together haha.

We at the party enjoying ourselves and here walks in Miss NeNe Leakes herself, accompanied by Greg. I was so geeked, but not star struck like I thought I would be. I felt like I knew her. We took some pics together and she mentioned how she was glad she wasn’t the only tall one at the party lol. We are about the same height. She was pretty cool, but she did have one bourgeoisie moment, when someone asked for her autograph. She was like ‘autograph…do people really ask for those still?’ I was like dang bish just sign the autograph haha.



And then finally here comes this beautiful glowing shadow…it gets closer and closer and behold…DWIGHT EUBANKS!



Dwight really was a lovely man. He also had something to say about my height as he was trying to push me down to be shorter than him. He danced the night away as did we. Had great conversation with some of his friends…interesting conversations actually. One of his friends told us a crazy story about a party Dwight had at his house and how he was trying to keep everyone hostage til the buttcrack of dawn because he did not want anyone to go home. We were crackin up.



After the party we headed back to our hotel and the next day back home. Meeting Dwight was mos def the highlight of the trip and it seemed to be destiny that we met him. Lol.

MEETING CELEBS ISN'T ALWAYS FUN

I met Wesley Jonathan same night I met Pooch, along with Marcus Paulk, Big Tigger, and Lil’J. And he was real cool (at first). We were all kickin it, having a good time, and Wesley Jonathan was on the phone with someone and let out the most egregious laugh I’ve ever heard. It was hilarious. So I start laughing. Wesley Jonathan quickly stopped laughing and was like ‘WTF so funny?’ I was like ‘HUH? I’m laughing at you’. He’s like ‘yeah I know but why’. I said ‘because you are too funny laughing like that’. He got pissed and started getting more lippy with me. I was like ‘hold up, I don’t care who you are WESLEY JONATHAN. You ain’t gonna talk to me like that. You must be mad drunk right now talking like that to me’. So he gets up to ROLLBOUNCE.

He was killing my mood anyway. I didn’t see him again until I left the room and I tried to grill the beef between us, but he didn’t want to eat it. I dapped him up, but he still looked mad. Touchy subject maybe lol.

P.S. HE HATED WHEN I KEPT CALLING HIM WESLEY JONATHAN

BASKETBALL WIVES

Basketball Wives is a heck of a show aint it? Those heifas need to quit. I have not seen so much hateration in all my life. Like why is Evelyn and Jennifer so concerned about what Gloria is doing. Ya’ll already say you don’t care for her all that much so that clearly shows that they are saying all that garbage to be messy and not out of love. Yes most NBA players cheat, but not ALL. And you don’t know what Matt Barnes does behind the scenes, you can suspect, BUT YOU DON’T KNOW. So leave the girl alone…please. Good grief. Gloria cooked ya’ll a bomb meal; the least you can do is respect her in her house.

And don’t get me started on Miss Jennifer. She know she love that money too much. She going through hell with that ugly fool she married too…lol. I’m sorry. Evelyn is beautiful…really she is, but she seems like a bitter old woman in lots of turmoil and I hope she finds happiness QUICK. I’m hoping to see more of Shaunie on upcoming episodes, I know she is one of the executive producers, but she needs to be more in the forefront. All of us want to know what’s going on with her story about Shaq. Royce is just kind of strange. I don’t really have much to say about her. She seems very confused; she is not sure who she is yet. One minute she is crying and wants to be friends with all the women, next she’s gyrating all over the stage acting a fool, then she is having “girls’ day” with makeovers and what not. She is all over the map. And I know she is dying to talk about Dwight Howard on screen, but due to legalities she can’t speak on him.

Well new episode comes tomorrow night and I’m excited to see what tomfoolery will happen next!
