Reggie Bush Got Milk
Feb 8th
Reggie Bush got milk and a Super Bowl ring.
The famed running back is the latest superstar athlete to join the Body By Milk campaign created to encourage teens to drink three glasses of lowfat or fat free milk, eat right and exercise to help look and feel their best. Past Body By Milk football stars include Kurt Warner, Ben Roethlisberger and Michael Strahan.
Bush’s ad copy reads, “It’s mine. And nothing can take it away from me. Milk helped me fuel up to play 60. And it’s got nutrients I need to refuel after the Super Bowl. So down the milk, and play for keeps.”

BEYONCE’S Vizio Commercial
Feb 8th
Beyonce appeared in a commercial for Vizio during the Super Bowl Sunday. The footage of the making of the Vizio would have you believe that Beyonce was going to play a bigger role but she was just the attention grabbing element. The minute long commercial feature the R&B star for 14 seconds and the rest of the cameos were of “the best of the internet.”
I loved the little piece David After The Dentist, where little Dave asks “is this real life?” and the clip of “Chocolate Rain.” In case you never saw the youtube clips or the video of the making of the Vizio commercial peep those below.

Rihanna’s Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam 2010 Performance
Feb 5th
That’s what I would rate this outfit this outfit a 2. I really wanted Rih to bring her fierceness to Miami but this outfit is rather blah and the white easter pumps are not giving me life. Normally I love everything (or damn near) that Rih’s stylist Mariel Haenn puts on her but this one is just not doing it for me.
The deets: RiRi’s black-and-white ensemble was inspired by Maria Ficalora’s Body Suit and put together by styling duo Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi. Pumps by Alexandre Vaultier, glasses by A-morir.

Fantasia Performs ‘Even Angels’ on Oprah
Feb 3rd
American Idol, Fantasia Barrino debuted her new single on The Oprah Winfrey Show this afternoon. S I enjoyed the simplicity of her look and the sensuality of her voice. Definitely a good choice to cover up that body full of tattoos for the daytime audience.
Fantasia’s new album is due out sometime in this Spring, and her single ‘Even Angels’ is available on iTunes now.
Claudette Ortiz Responds to Robby’s Intervention “I just want him to move on with his life…”
Feb 2nd
A few weeks ago when Robby Pardlo, former member of R&B group City High, appeared on Intervention folks gasped at the revelation that one he had this serious alcohol addiction and additionally his depression/addiction was rooted in feelings of betrayal by fellow band mates Ryan & Claudette. Initially at the start of the group’s history Robby & Claudette were an item and eventually parted ways and Claudette went on to have children with and marry Ryan Toby. (DRAMA). In any event, Claudette decided after the negative attention from the A&E special she would set the record straight about her relationship with Robbie, the group’s demise and her future plans.
Thoughts on the A&E Intervention Episode featuring Robbie
I didn’t watch it when it came on but then all this stuff started popping up on the internet & when I decided that I was going to do this interview I had to watch it… I’m being used a scapegoat for his failure… he didn’t appreciate me, City High… I saw him on there talking about the red carpet… he didn’t appreciate the red carpet… I’m 18 years old living my dream, we were nominated for a Grammy & here is Robbie drunk… drunker than I’ve ever seen, I’m hoping we don’t win because I didn’t think he could control himself if we had to go on stage an accept the award. To be ridiculed for something you did is one thing, but for lies & non-sense? That’s not going to work…
Why She Decided To Speak Out
Initially I wasn’t going to say anything… & I think that stemmed from fear because of the relationship I had with Robbie… it was an abusive one. He portrayed it like it was a “lovely romance” & it wasn’t. I just want to move on & put things behind me. Other people may be in the same position I was in… & if you don’t eventually stand up for yourself it can carry on for the next 12 years… like in my case. It was time to tell the truth… the truth that he so conveniently left out in the intervention.
About her relationship with Robbie & how it ended
At first it started with me finding out about other girls… I stayed through that… I’m sure every woman can relate to believing a man lying to you about cheating, even when all the signs were right in my face… & that caused problems but it was the drunken fits that really scared me & made want to end our relationship…// We were working on the album & it was rare for him not to be drunk… My management asked me not break up with him (he knows this) but it just became too difficult for me. Going on the road, recording… it was terrible. We were in Hit Factory & I remember him walking past me & he said “so this it, we over?” & I said “yes“.
The group’s breakup & Who’s To Blame
[The biggest misconception is] that the group broke up because of me or my actions. After I had my first son & it was time to start recording the second album, I said to myself I couldn’t do it… I couldn’t be in this group with him anymore… that would mean spending time around him, my son would be around him… & I didn’t want that. So I spoke with my manager & Ryan… it was a hard decision to make but I prayed about it. I left the group in June 2003… he knows my reasons… he wanted to stay in the group… maybe that’s why he blames me. But if me leaving because I didn’t want to deal with the nightmare anymore is a bad thing, then I’ll take that. I’d been dealing with it since 1998 all the way through to 2003. I don’t know many solid women that can deal with that for so long… I even initially took the blame… I remember doing the Wendy Williams show & accepting all responsibility for the breakup because I didn’t want to talk about the truth… I don’t think he expected me to say anything… but I’m not that little girl anymore. I’m not weak, I’m a grown woman. I have children, got married, divorced… you have to stand up for yourself & that’s what I’m doing.
