Well lookey here! Just when I was getting completely bored by all of my fave gossip blogs, the NYT has identified what they consider to be ‘The Rising Stars of Gossip Blogs.’
Ahh, praise the good Lord for the tools of procrastination!
Although it should come as no surprise that 9 out of 10 of the aforementioned blogs cater solely to mainstream celebs/ interests (read: what white people like and spend ridiculous amounts of free time wondering about). *side-eye* I’m still happy to have a couple of options to my tad bit tiresome DListed, Necole Bitchie and YBF line-up. No offense.
So I guess we shall see if any of these newcomers ultimately warm the blood like a good Crunk & Disorderly post… Or will my wandering mouse be right back to Bossip for the half-cocked tomfoolery.
It’s official, insurance company executives are spawn of the devil. According to today’s New York Times, lawyers for the insurance companies are now arguing that language in the new Health Care Bill is open to interpretation. And while the bill now requires them to pay the expenses generated from a child’s pre-existing conditions if the child is already covered by their parent’s policy, it DOES NOT require them sell new policies to children with pre-existing conditions.
BLANK STARE
So essentially, if they find out that your child has a pre-existing condition before they offer coverage, they can charge you a more expensive penalty fee or simply refuse to cover your child at all. And the ‘availability’ coverage that requires that everyone receive insurance doesn’t go into effect until 2014.
DEAD
I. Can’t. How the hell do these people sleep at night?
After numerous unresolved calls to 311, apparently Maria hit the wall. She freaked out, called her husband at work, started screaming that she couldn’t take the torturous noise anymore. Then as fate would have it, she just so ‘happened’ to run into said neighbor, Iraida Palmieri in the elevator shortly thereafter. According to Maria , Iraida was actin’ funny and refused to move over and make space in the elevator car. So Maria told her to move or she was gonna shoot that ass. Iraida who is the wife of a famous Latin jazz pianist, wrongly called Maria’s bluff and ended up with one to the head (well, really just upside the head since she only grazed her head). Just. Like. That.
BLANK STARE WITH 3 SLOOOOOW BLINKS
All I can say is the devil is a busy man.
And not for nothing, my upstairs neighbors are kinda nuts too. They’re like an apartment full of 20-something years old corner boys who clearly think their spot in the hood is the new Playboy Mansion. At 3 am on any given day of the week, they’ll host full on parties, practice dribbling a basketball and or simply play reggaeton until the walls shake.
Puh-lease believe me when I say, I hate Daddy Yankee.
So I understand where Granny was coming from but still…. this right here is nuts.
Well lookey here, something else kinda controversial that happened while I was busy celebrating the Health Care Bill (that could potentially be no more thanks to the fabulous US Senate):
Tyler Perry finally announced the cast to the upcoming feature adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s famous choreopoem “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf.”
Or rather, I should say a partial list. Because although there are only seven nameless women in the original work that we’ve all come to know and love, Mr. Perry has stated that there will be FIFTEEN roles in the film.
Yeah… I was rocking with him right up until Janet. After that, no. Not so much. But hey, I love a surprise and believe in prayer. So you never know, maybe Macy will surprise us all….
*whips out rosary and gets to mumblin’ my Hail Marys”
Jesus, it sucks to be Sandra Bullock today. Cause not for nothing, having your husband’s affair with the trashy tattoo-covered stripper/ wanna-be hairdresser as the lead story of every major news outlet cannot feel good. Especially after that heartfelt shout out Sandra gave Jesse when robbed Gabourey for the Oscar. You remember… “I love you so much and you are really hot. I want you so much.” Uh-huh, exactly.
But before you start to cry a river for Miss Congeniality, be sure to save a few for Anthony McCoy, the Tennessee man who was arrested for not paying his child support. During the booking process, homeboy had his gold fronts (mind you, these were the permanent kind that are attached by dental glue) RIPPED from his mouth by a pissy police officer because she didn’t think they were appropriate for his mugshot. You did see where I wrote, right? RIPPED from his mouth. Pause. How crazy is that? According to his lawyer, in addition to the golds, LAYERS of enamel and small pieces of the gum line were pulled off during the ordeal as well.
* gags uncontrollably*
Now, I’m so not not a fan of men that refuse to pay child support but this ‘ish is beyond barbaric. Who does stuff like this? In her defense, I guess the police officer thought he was lying about the fronts being removable but still…
Once the man’s mouth filled with BLOOD and TISSUE, it’s obvious she was wrong. But wait on it… instead of admitting an error she simply tossed him a garbage can to spit inside. And then all the correction officers at the jail where he was held (cause they didn’t let him go) denied his repeated requests for medical attention for TEN freaking DAYS???
SILENCE (with mouth firmly shut)
Can you even imagine the kind of pain this man was in???? Good Lord. I get nervous if the dentist scrapes too hard during my bi-yearly cleaning. To suffer through something like that, I’d probably die. No. I take that back. I’d definitely die.
So for the record, I am LOVING the new Lady Gaga video featuring Beyonce. Well done! If I ever decide to swing the other way, please believe it will be with that white woman. Homegirl is on a whole other level and I for one am not mad at all.
Speaking of hot music videos… Did ya’ll hear about the craziness with director of the Fugees’s killing Me Softly video? To quote my boy Special P, YOOOO!
Talking about he was trying to create a pure bloodline because the world was coming to an end and it was just going to be him and his offspring inheriting the earth.
SILENCE
But wait on it- Dude wasn’t even attempting to be discreet about the crazy like those other pervs we’ve heard about recently. Nope, there were no children locked in a Brooklyn basement. This negro was brazenly running around calling his daughters his wives in PUBLIC. Like what, say something.
Matter of fact, he even told the woman that he was living with back in 2002, the whole story. This chick was a LAWYER at a top Manhattan firm. And she didn’t say a single WORD.
“He was this successful artist who had worked with the Fugees,” explains Subhana Rahim to The Daily News. “I was shocked when he told me that they were his daughters and that he’d been sleeping with them. I didn’t try to understand something so ridiculous.”
Okay… so at the time you refused to understand but eight years later you want to tell people about it? Really??
Can we all say, Educational FAIL.
I’ll tell you what, if ANYONE I know ever starts talking about sleeping with his own offspring, boyfriend, baby father, husband or not, I’m going to the po-po IMMEDIATELY. As in not now, but RIGHT NOW while wearing nothing but my pajamas and head scarf. And I don’t give a DAMN if you were just kidding.
I do NOT play those reindeer games.
My heart goes out to these kids. I pray that not only does this animal get thrown UNDER the jail for these crimes but that ALL the women who had knowledge and were complacent about the abuse, join him there as well.
I understand that times are rough. Hence, right, wrong or indifferent folks gotta do what they gotta do… So I can sorta kinda not really understand the thought process behind swiping the electronic equipment and toys. But snatching the HAMSTER? Come ON. That right there is like, kicking the cripple. Survey says: No can do.
To make matter worse, the no count heathens KNEW they were taking that damn rodent from kids with special needs. How could they not? The freaking name of the school is Eden II School for Children with Autism.
DEAD ASS SILENCE
Honestly, I don’t even know what else to say about this…
*digs a rosary from the bottom of the keepsake chest and gets to praying*
Okay so I just saw this picture on Bossip. And not for nothing, I literally did a double take. WTF? ‘Cause maybe it’s just my shakey bakey memory, but didn’t these two women each have a child within weeks of one another by the same yuck mouth rapper less than a year ago?
I guess I have more work to do on my personal growth index but I’m not so sure I could be all hugged up with the next chick this damn soon. Uh-uh, no ma’am. Granted, I’m not saying that I would need to go all Kim Porter with it and hate on all the baby mamas but this pic right here makes ME uncomfortable.
What say you?
Or are you too distracted by Nivea’s extra smedium vest and whatever that fake fur, Snuggie-looking dress that Lauren is wearing to even think about it? It’s okay, you can tell me.
Oh Lord, I’m so confused. Somebody, anybody, help me please.
What in the unholy HELL is this CHILD doing in this video?? Really? With the the black socks/ sneaker combo and one leg up? Oh-uh-uh… And wait on it- all those dingy looking sheets and comforters in the background?
*starts tossing bleach like I’m Puff poppin’ champagne*
All I can say is, Jesus be the ass whooping I would put on this overgrown teenager if he was my child. WORD.
Oh and when you pull your face off the floor, feel free to thank Freshalina for the laughs HERE
But very quickly, I’d like to draw your attention to this picture taken yesterday afternoon of two of the women in the group- a mother and child. Now be clear, these two women are headed BACK to jail after being charged with child abduction and criminal conspiracy, and they’re what? Laughing.
DEAD FISH EYES.
I gotta tell you, I wouldn’t think a damn thing was funny if I was innocent and my ass was headed back to a freakin’ Haitian jail. No ma’am. Not. At. All. But I guess the key word there is ‘innocent,’ huh?
I sure hope them heifers don’t think that just cause they’re white Americans everything is gonna to eventually blow over. SMH. Cause them days is over…
