YouTube Sensations On The Rise!

So, I’ve been trying to get folks on my blog to dish about their teas of late. Reached out to a few music idols and still no holla back! What’s up with that? I mean, who do I have to be? Anyhew, all wasn’t a total bust, heard back from folks representin’ the folks- if you know what I mean. just so y’all know- I’m NOT going to beg… Pretty Please. What?

Finally, I read my Essence Newsletter & my g-mogul antenna goes into g-mogul overdrive. Why didn’t I think of this one? A couple of savvy ladies by the names of Charlene Cooper and Yolanda Sangweni put together 16 of their favorite Youtube video sensations for Essence! Yep, great idea ladies.

Anyhew, the title of these videos “16 You Tube Personalities We Love” are so great! and I agree with the women on this one, Reality TV had better watch out for the likes of these You-Tubers: Check out http://youtu.be/9A9AqT0v-aM an interview at Withjosh.com that Glozell, one such internet sensation shares in her very first interview how she got her start, blogging about the goings on over on The Jay Leno Show, back in 2007.

A comedian, Glozell also was a teacher before she just blew up. Go ahead and watch her video interview with dude, but, catch her latest rants on “Accidental Racist” song by Brad Paisley and LL Cool J and the song “I Hit It First with Ray J talkin’ about his sexual tryst with Kim Kardashian- hilarious! Okay, y’all I haven’t seen all 16 videos, but, I plan to:) By the way, Ray J is on The Wendy Williams Show today!

The other young lady I like who has a future ( already been on Katie) Couric, getting her own show and making a sensation is Issa Rae of The Awkward Black Girl Series- yea, that girl! I liked Issa because she reminds me of a younger version of Whoopi Goldberg. Don’t get it twisted, Issa is college educated and has great comedic timing. She shares her YouTube genius on what “Ratchet” really means at her RatchetPiece Theatre- love it:)

Anyhew, that’s what I have to say about that. Thanks to Charlene Cooper and Yolanda Sangweni for giving the g-mogul more teas to share with my readers. And so you know, I’m still looking for that holla back from music idol, J.W.

Real Housewives Kenya Moore: “I Want A Raise!”

Let’s start the weekend off right by talking about one of my favorite subjects, Reality TV! Today’s subject matter is keen on one person. Ms Kenya Moore of The Housewives Of Atlanta. Well, according to the go-to source for a lot of clara54′s teas, that would be Ms. Wendy Williams, Kenya Moore feels like she is due a raise. Yes, Ms Moore approached the producers of the show apparently taking credit for the season spike in viewers, which caused a ratings hike was because of her. In essence, the ‘gone with the wind’ fabulous, Kenya Moore, somehow made this season’s show “Relevant.”

How about if we step back a minute to see just how that worked out. There was Ms. Moore on the tail end of Walters lack of attention toward her unladylike behavior as she desperately tried to woo him, lying to the other cast-mates like they had something going on, when, truly they didn’t. In the words of NeNe Leakes, “They just didn’t seem like a couple to me.”

Then, we have the Donkey Booty video versus the Stallion video. Needless to say, Phaedra apparently won in the popularity contest, outselling Jillian Michael on Amazon. com. Of course, the couple had to refine the original title of a bit, choosing Fine Body workout instead of Donkey Booty. We have to admit, Kenya stepped up her aggressive and outrageously narcissist behavior and reign over the other ladies in that category.

Kenya might deserve a raise. She did make viewers want to see what was going to happen next.I’ve heard from a reliable source how Reality Television works. Reportedly, these wannabe celebrities are given specific instructions to bring the drama every week! And if you don’t think they’re being fed suggestions on how to go about doing that; think again. Melissa Jo Peltier is a behind the scenes insider on Realty TV. Her book, Hollywood Boulevard is a must read.

The last point I’m going to make on why Kenya Moore thinks the producers of The Housewives saga should run to give her a raise? Because Kenya Moore can’t keep a secret ( except for the Walter thing) she told everyone on the housewives reunion special that Apollo, Phedra’s husband, should stop texting her! And because Wendy Williams is in her corner. Psst, hey Wendy, make sure you pay attention to whom you’re referring to on the show’s gossip segment. Today, you kept calling Kenya’s name when it was obvious you were talking about Portia. Anyway, your audience is way too polite to tell you about your bloopers- but, I’m not

So, how y’all liking or not ‘liking’ Fashion Queens?

Whoopi Goldberg Shoes!

So I woke up in a good mood this morning and didn’t want to think about the loss of Dr. Joyce Brothers at the young age of 85 or that Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, although we wish her well. Nor, did I feel up to the dish on Barbara Walters retiring in 2014 or how NeNe Leakes is feelings about the cancellation of her show, The New Normal. I want to have some Springtime fun and share teas on Whoopi Goldberg and those outrageous shoes of hers…don’t you!

I’ve been a fan of the ‘whoop’ ever since I caught her on stage, wearing a big white towel on her head, pretending she was some white girl from California- hilarious:) and naturally caught her show when she came out a few years ago to do standup at an Indiana venue. Whoopi, for the most part, hasn’t given this g-mogul any ugly vibes to dish about…I did say for the most part?

When Whoopi & Ted Danson got together while making the movie, Made In America with Nia Long and Will Smith, It was all good (sans his very personal & costly divorce ) Then, stuff hit the fan, people. Ted Danson & Whoopi Goldberg shows up to a Friar’s Club Comedy Roast, with Ted in ‘blackface” and sprouting the “N” word! Now, as a southern black women? That was not funny, no way, no how!!! But, we live and we learn. Ted went on to marry Mary Steenburgen and Whoopi hooked up with the actor Frank Langella for a bit… Whoopi seemingly is back in a good place, with some dang “ugly” weird looking expensive shoes (for the most part) to share for it…oh, please… I’m all for artful expression, but, some of those shoes are hideous!

Take the “gum” shoe. Whoopi told us we couldn’t afford this shoe last week on The View. She wore a different show everyday to kick off her birthday celebration. The sneakers were a tad more appealing to the eye. So, my g-mogul snoop radar priced a pair of high-top tennis shoes online at Ebay for $99 or best asking price. Whoopi has amassed a fortune selling stuff, like most celebrities. I suppose it depends on how bad y’all want it. Just sayin’

So, would y’all purchase a “whoopi ” shoe?

Rod Stewart: My Wife Is Not A Beverly Hills Housewife!

Happy Friday and Happy Mother’s Day! It’s all good. I’m going to let my hair down and pull out my high heel sneakers, yea-boy:) No, not really, just making you guys laugh. Listen, there’s a lot of teas I could talk about,including the break-up of the Vampire Diaries couple of three years, Ian Somehalder and Nina Dobrev, aka Damon Salvedore and Elena Gilbert.

I could tell you about the cancellation of Deception, starring Megan Goode and Southland, with Regina King…then, there’s… Say what? Okay, I’ll get on with it. Today, on the Katie (Couric) Show, Rod Stewart and his third wife, Penny Lancaster were guests. Actually Rod Stewart was the guest and Katie called wifey up from the audience to share why she turned down a gig as one of Bravo’s Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.

Penny Lancaster said, in essence, she was not a Beverly Hills housewife and was a rather simple person/wife and mother, whereupon, Rod Steward, with a great degree of emphasis stated his wife was not a housewife of Beverly Hills, that she was more of a “London” girl- not that he had anything against the housewives.Alright y- then.

A few tidbits about Rod Stewart:

He’s 68 years old. He and Penny broke up for 2 weeks after an argument.

He has 8 children, ranging in age of 2-50 years old

His oldest daughter was born when Rod was a teenager.

He wrote his “She Makes Me Happy” for his wife, Penny.

His heart was broken by his ex- wife Rachel Hunter.

His Song “Maggie Mae” was about his first sexual experience

His advice to couples? Avoid having an argument after drinking wine.

This last bit of Wendy news had a g-mogul going “No she didn’t!” Sonya Morgan, the 49 year old Real Housewives Of New York, is reportedly dating a young man of 23! And according to Life & Style Magazine, she’s already moved him into her home after only one month of dating because he can’t afford his own apartment “so Lady-in the-tramp” of you Sonya. Just sayin’ and forget you have a daughter in the house; why don’t you!?

Will Wendy Williams Be Reprising Her Role In Think Like A Man Sequel?

You guys have a good time this weekend ( safety first) because tomorrow is Friday and I’m not going to holla back until next week! Anyhoo, something came up that had to be talked about with y’all, today! Remember when Kevin Hart came to the Wendy Williams couch to talk about his rise to fame and fortune from doing the movie “Think Like a Man” based on Steve Harvey’s bestselling book, “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man”and getting his new show, Real Husbands of Hollywood? Y’all remember what Wendy Williams asked him? I know, that’s why I’m the g-mogul. just sayin’

Well, Wendy Williams played Kevin Hart’s overbearing wife in the movie and folks liked her, according to Kevin Hart-a lot! Wendy no doubt got a taste for the ‘acting’ bug and wants to do more movie roles not allegedly, but,a fact. She asks Kevin, so, P.S-”Are they making a sequel? When Kevin answers in the affirmative, Wendy then asks “Are you still married to me in the movie?” Again, Kevin Hart responds and I quote:) “You’re going to be my wife, so don’t get busy.”

Fast forward to Thursday’s Wendy William Show with guest, Taraji P. Henson, well-known for her starring roles in Benjamin Buttons, Hustle & Flow and Tyler Perry sagas. Currently, the actress has a leading role in the hit television drama Person of Interest. Okay, enough background, cause if y’all still don’t know Taraji P. Henson something’s wrong. The thing/point is, Taraji is also one of the original actresses in the Think Like A Man movie. Now Wendy, ever the sly gurl gets to ask Taraji the burning, “need to know” question.

Wendy “Is there going to be a sequel to Think Like a Man and are they filming now, cause I hadn’t heard anything”
Taraji P. Henson- “Yes, we’re filming the sequel May 13th in Vegas.”

Okay, so Wendy as of this posting, we know you haven’t been called back to reprise your role as Kevin Hart’s wife in the sequel, tentatively called” Think Harder Like a Man or “Think Like a Man, Too” but don’t fret, there’s still a few weeks left for you to get that call! Anyhew, you’re going to be singing and dancing in the Broadway Musical, Chicago, for 7 weeks in June-congratulations and remember to think & move like you really can dance, gurl ( DWTS) memory moment,people…oh, shish!

Kevin Hart, if you’re reading this. You’d better get on the horn for Wendy Williams. You promised her she’d be your wife in the upcoming sequel to Think Like A Man. Wendy always got your back, Kevin. Remember how she gave you props in the sex appeal department? “You become sexier as you become more successful.” Say what!?

Real Housewives Of Atlanta Porsha Stewart Gets Twitter Love After Husband Divorce Announcement!

Okay, so it’s Earth Day! and I don’t feel like talking at y’all, but, because I know you want to be all up in the grill of celebrities and what not, I’m bringing you peeps, the teas on this child, Porsha Stewart. You know people like a comeback story and folks want to see this young woman bounce back from all of the last season’s Real Housewives of Atlanta’s alumni women and “gone with the wind, fabulous” new cast-member Kenya, throwing shade toward Porsha.

Porsha seemed to be catching ‘ratchet’ behaviorism from Nene on down to Cynthia. The women were beasts, calling Porsha’s soon to be ex, Kordell Stewart, controlling and manipulative, okay, I said that:) and really, he was actually a low down dirty dog for treating his wife the way he did and for filing for divorce just 5 days after the RHOA reunion-part 3 was taped. just sayin’

Anyhew, according to Porsha’s summation on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, she didn’t know anything about Kordell’s plan to divorce her, until her sister called her while she was still in bed, to ask if she’d heard the news, whereupon, Porsha said she went on twitter to read it for herself and got out of bed to confront Kordell who was in an adjoining room! Dude was still in their house after announcing his divorce from his young wife- low down & dirty, people! So, apparently, he said, “yes” it’s true and they’re both living in the house, but, Porsha want to make sure her twitter fans do not get it twisted.

There’s no speaking, cooking of eggs and bacon or ham hocks “no mo!” Thanks for clearing that up, Porsha, gurl, you ain’t no fool. And so what if you don’t have a prenuptial agreement? You take Andy Cohen’s advice and stay in the house, gurl… or, you can file for alimony, and take Wendy Williams advice, get the Range Rover, don’t ask for the house- on account of it’s too big and electricity will cost you. Wendy thinks you should move into a 1 bedroom apartment with a doorman. Whatever you decide to do, young lady, know that your fans & twitter followers have got your back, cause you’re getting much Twitter love!

Sorry to hear how you were blindsided by kordell’s unmanly actions,Porsha. Uncanny how you said it all with a tweet before learning about the cowardly actions of the man you were willing to sacrifice your world for. You told Andy and Vivica A. Fox and viewers over on Watch What Happens Live, that youd woke up and tweeted,”It’s the first day of the rest of your life” before falling asleep again…Karma

Vivica A. Fox shut one viewer down with a smack-down when she was asked about (rapper) and former flame 50 Cents. She goes “Do we have to bring him up? That’s old news”!

Get it? “Old”
