6FootBombshell

I remember watching the commercials for T.I.’s ‘Road to Redemption” show on BET and seeing all the clips in slow motion of him walking through schools and hoods across the U.S.  His moving talks to at-risk children explaining the risks of behaviors that could lead them in jail or even worse.  *plays world smallest violin*

I didn’t buy it.  I found it to be too much like a celebration for his year and a day sentence he was about to face.  The tone was way to “entertaining” to be taken as him doing something for his community, genuinely.  Plus, I argued with people saying he didn’t change.  I hate to say it but I said to a male friend of mine “watch, we’ll see him in the news again for something stupid in less than a year.”  And as sure as my name is 6FootBombshell, this dummy is back in the news.

Less than a week after the premiere of Takers, T.I. and his new wife were arrested on drug charges in L.A. last night.  The sweet aroma of weed escapes the Maybach they were driving in when they were pulled over for a traffic stop.  What they were pulled over for is unclear.  And how long has he been out of jail?  Idiot.

They’re calling Tiger’s divorce “the divorce of the decade”.  I’m actually surprised Mrs. Woods actually left him.  But I have  a strange feeling had the humiliation not been televised, she’d still be right there.  As the reports came in that the divorce was official, it amazed me how emotionally charged women around the world are about Tiger’s indiscretions and poor poor Elin.  But what amazes me more is this  feeling that a woman is ENTITLED to all or half of  her husband’s fortune because of a divorce.  I’m reading comments across the World Wide Web like “she should leave him penniless”, “she should take him to the bank”, “$10 million for each affair”.  Are you kidding me?  Elin didn’t swing a damn club or win a single Masters.  Furthermore, he was half a billionaire when she met him.   Why should she be entitled to half his fortune?  Yeah, so what she was his wife and took care of the kids.  Shit, that’s what she’s supposed to do.  Just like he was supposed to bring home the bacon.   Don’t get me wrong, I do believe she’s entitled to SOME money.  I do not believe the children should have to go to the poor house but neither should the husband who broke his back bringing home those millions.  I don’t care if Tiger slept with half the female population in Canada, Elin should not get half his fortune.

When Britney Spears went spiraling downwards and Kevin filed for divorce no one was saying “Kevin should take her to the bank!” As a matter of fact, he was being called a scumbag for getting alimony.  Why the double standard?  She’s the breadwinner so why isn’t Kevin entitled to half her fortune?

We need to stop crying about being treated as equals but when certain things happen we play the damsel in distress and use the “woman” aspect as a basis to support our claim.  If Elin gets half then so should Kevin.  I bet if we hear more about men talking half our fortune we’ll be singing another tune.

Singer, Fantasia Burrino, has been reportedly admitted to an North Carolina hospital for an overdose of aspirin and a sleep aid.  This “alleged” suicide attempt they’re calling it,  is from the overwhelming media pressure about rumors of her having an affair with Antwuan Cook,  a married man and being sued by Paula Cook, his wife.  Apparently, North Carolina allows the wives of cheating husbands to sue the MISTRESS.  Before I get into why I’m irritated about this whole thing, I pray that this girl is ok and recovers physically and emotionally.

Now that Alicia Keys and Swizz are married, those rumors of her dating him while he was still married are obviously true.  Now this rumor with Fantasia.  Alicia just so happened to luck up and get a man who ACTUALLY left his wife.  I’m so sick and tired of hearing the same old song from bishes who date married men.  “I’m not happy at home” and “we’re seperating soon” is the biggest excuse and lie these men use.   Do you value yourself that lowly that when he tells you “yeah, I’m married but we ain’t happy”, you can’t say “well when you actually LEAVE your wife, give me a call.”?   WTF is wrong with you chicks?  Yes the men are trifling too but I’m not talking to them because if chicks weren’t readily available to reduce themselves down to being a mere side bitch or having their hands out to take sloppy seconds, then these men wouldn’t have the opportunity to cheat.   At least let the divorce papers be filed and he’s living outside the damn house!

What irritates me even more is when we act like we don’t know.  All the red flag are waving in the air like they’re in the middle of a hurricane.  You don’t have his home number and you only hook up at your house or hotels.  He still lives in the damn house!  You believed him when he told you that he sleeps in a different room?  You believed him when he told you they weren’t having sex anymore?  LOL!  Come on now.  Don’t be a stupid bish your ENTIRE life.  Or what about when chicks use the excuse ”well, if the wife was doing her job” or “I’m not responsible for breaking up the marriage..it was already broken”?  Is that how you convince yourself that dating a married a man is cool? 

Brian Dickens, Fantasia’s manager, says in a statement on Monday, “she will weather this storm with dignity and grace.”  Dignity and Grace wouldn’t have got her in this position from the beginning.

Queen Latifah and her honey, fitness instructor Jeanette Jenkins all boo’d up in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France.   Alongside, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats on their honeymoon.  Maybe it’s a double honeymoon?  Who knows.  Proposition 8 was just given the green light..hhmmmmmm?

It’s about time Queen is out in the open about it.  It’s not like we didn’t know and it’s not like we really care.  She’s still the QUEEN, period!

Alicia looking fab, belly and all!  I hope I look hot in a bikini while pregnant.

I think the “tan” hairline going around Ciara’s entire face is self-explanatory!

Although she looks beautiful, it’s still and EPIC FAIL!

It breaks my heart to hear stories of young, promising people spiraling out of control.  We first saw Maia’s train wreck in that video that surfaced of her in sitting in a car going on what it looked like, a drug induced rant.  Still, to this day, I have a hard time believing that was her because she looked so bad.

It looks like Maia is in some trouble.  She was arrested  for alleged drug antics and has been in a jail in California since July 5th with a bail for 40k.  We all remember Maia from the sitcom “In The House” that starred LL Cool J.  She’s also the daughter of the late BeBe Moore Campbell.  Her mother’s death is rumored to have been the trigger of this downfall for Maia who suffers from bipolar disorder.  Hopefully this fall from grace isn’t permanent.

There are so many things that are “taboo” in the black community.  Mental health and mental health disorders are one of them.  Instead of the disparaging blogs and Youtube comments about Maia, we need to be praying for her.  Let that horrible video of her be the spark you need to talk to a professional or help your loved one with his or her issues.

Although I don’t care too much about this union due to the ugly ties of how they started out, I must say this is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL picture.
