Bet Awards 2012

Tonight, was the live showing of the 2012 BET Awards and it was definitely star studded. From Beyonce to Nicki Minaj and the waited come back performance by singer D Angelo. Appearances by Lauren London, Kevin Hart and many more. 

The most remembered part of tonight's show though was the Tribute to Whitney Houston. With words of remembrance from Whitney's close friend Mariah Carey, and multiple performances from Brandy, Monica and even Whitney's brother and Mother Cissy Houston. Brandy definitely made the Tribute with her up beat performance of " I Wanna Dance With Somebody". The entire audience was in tears and shared a moment remembering the late Whitney Houston. She will forever be missed. 

Great Performances from Kanye, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj and many more great performances. The most shocking part to me though was Chris Brown's hint to retirement. The singer made a note to say that his next album "Fortune" would be his last. Fan's will definitely be a little disappointed but I'm sure he's going on to bigger and better things. The singer has been seen in multiple films, from Stomp the Yard, This Christmas,   Takers, and the most  recent Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man

Katy Perry Part of Me...

Only 6 more days until Katy Perry's Part of Me documentary comes to theaters in 3D. Katy Perry is definitely a talented and down to earth musician that deserves recognition, and I have a feeling that her concert documentary will be just the thing to do so.

San Diego's Z90.3 says that Part of Me is one of the best music documentaries since Madonna's Truth or Dare. It shows the human being in Katy Perry, her talent and also that she has complete control over her career. MTV Producers and Reps also say that Katy Perry's Part of Me was brilliant.

At the film premiere, Katy admitted to being nervous to the reaction of the film. Her plans for her upcoming album is going to be quite different than what her fans are used to. Katy has said that her next album is going to be a darker album than the previous one that will reflect on the most recent events of her life. Her album is expected to release sometime next summer. As a die hard Katy fan , I'm not sure what to expect from her next dark album but whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be nothing but hits.

Ted..

Ted came out today in theaters. It's a rated R movie about a guy name John who makes a wish as a young kid that his teddy bear would come to life. Now as a grown man, John has to deal with the live teddy bear that refused to leave his side ever since.



Critics are already calling this movie dull, and a critic from The Washington Post says that the character can't sustain interest beyond the initial outrageous guffaw.

Elizabeth Weitzman from the New York Daily News gives Ted a 3 out of 5 stars, claiming that it not every joke was a score but the hits were worth the miss.

I can't imagine what these people expect the movie about a talking teddy bear who is vulgar and crude was going to be like. I first saw the trailer for this movie a few months ago and at first sight i thought it was a kids movie until the bear actually started talking. I hope parent's don't think it's appropriate to bring their kids to this movie.

Mother Abuses 10 month old baby...

I was in complete shock when i heard about the mother who abused her 10 month old baby girl and was sending the videos and messages to her baby's father. 


Apparently, 20 year old Kellie Park from West Haven, Connecticut was arrested last week after the father of her 10 month old baby received the videos and 55 text messages which said "I'll beat her in the face" and "I love abusing this child". Police report that in one of the videos they heard Kellie Park yelling at the baby to eat food off the floor, while screaming " This is what your dad wants me to do" and throwing food at the baby while she was still in the high chair. Following that she can then be seen taking the baby out the chair, then putting the baby into a crib while she's shaking the crib until the baby falls out. 


In another video, a police reports that Kellie is seen kicking a gate onto the crying baby causing her to fall and then she screams "Don't you get it? Your father doesn't care so guess what, I'm not going to care". 


She was arrested and charged with third degree assault and cruelty to persons, risk of injury and threatening. The 10 month daughter is now in the custody of Kelli's mother along with her other 2 year old child. Her bail is 50,000 and she is due back in court July 11, 2012. 


It amazes me how cruel some people can be. I can only imagine what her two year old had to go through if this is what she's doing to her 10 month baby. She definitely needs mental help and shouldn't be able to see her children for a long time, if ever. Some people just should not be allowed to be parents. My prayers go out to the baby and the family as well because I'm sure they are getting some of the slack due to Kelli's behavior. 

Beiber Fever

Justin Beiber's fourth album goes #1. His fourth album sold over $374,000 for its release last week, giving him the best sales of his career. His album Believe also debuted number 1 in 29 countries. He's definitely on a winning streak. His album topped Madonna's and is the best selling first week release since Drake's Take Care album came out in December 2011.

So now, Beiber has sold more than 15 million albums since his first record in 2009. I'm not a Justin Beiber fan, but I will say that he has brainwashed the mines of many children and young adults. His song "Girlfriend" off of his most recent album even caught my attention. I almost didn't realize that was him. Justin's career is just beginning and I'm sure we're going to be seeing much more of the Canadian singer.

Avengers Conquer Movies Milestone

The Marvel movie Avengers has reached its 54th day in the theaters and already has reached over 600 million dollars. It joins James Cameron's Avatar and Titanic which are the only other movies that reached 600 million dollars that fast. It's the second fastest to reach that milestone after 54 days, behind Avatar which reached $600 million after 47 days of being in the theaters. 

It doesn't slip my mind that I'm sure most people went to go see Avengers when it was on a Tuesday, seeing that it was $5 Tuesdays, not something that was around during the time for Titanic that reached $600 million after being in the theaters for 252 days. Another thing that doesn't surprise me is that these ratings are only in dollars not by number of tickets sold. 

Avengers was hands down one of the greatest movies of 2012, with the Marvel mash-up of characters. Amazing line up and can't wait until they start showing the trailers for the upcoming Avengers sequel, because we all know there has to be one with that ending. 

VH1's Hollywood Exes

VH1 premiered the sneak peek to their upcoming new reality docu-series, Hollywood Exes. The one hour episode gave viewers a chance to be introduced to the five ex wives of Hollywood's greatest and most known men. Among the five ex wives was comedian Eddie Murphy's ex wife Nicole Murphy.

The show will premiere on Weds, June 27th,2012 at 9:00pm on VH1. It They were married to Hollywood's A-list stars from Will Smith, Jose Conseco, Eddie Murphy, Prince and R Kelly (Robert Kelly) and now they are making a name for themselves as they adjust to life without their former husbands. Here's the cast of the new reality docu-series on VH1's Hollywood Exes. 

Will Smith's ex wife, Sheree Fletcher, mother of his oldest son Trey. They met on the set of A Different World dated for a while and finally got married. After a few years they realized it wasn't going to work. Now her son being 18 years, she has stopped recieving child support and has to adjust to life without the support of her ex husband. That shouldn't be too hard seeing as she's married to former football player Terrell Fletcher. 

Jose Canseco's ex wife, Jessica Canseco was married to him for over 15 years and have a beautiful  fifteen  year old daughter with him. Without the success and support from her ex husband, Jessica is forced to rely on her own talents and abilities to support their daughter. She doesn't seem like she's doing too bad either to make a name for her self. She currently owns a cosmetic and medical tattooing business in Beverly Hills and is living life single and ready to mingle.

Nicole Murphy, ex wife to comedian Eddie Murphy who she had five children with. She's maintaining her image and seems to be doing pretty well without him. She's currently engaged to retired football player Michael Strahan and is focusing on restarting her modeling career. She seems to be the shows leading lady although we have only seen the sneak peek.

Andrea Kelly, ex wife of R&B Singer R.Kelly with whom she has children by. She's coming to terms with her title as being the background wife. Until now, no one was even aware that R.Kelly was married and they were married for over fifteen years. She is recently divorced and ready to move on and start her life without her ex husband. 

Mayte Garcia ex wife of Prince. She was originally a dance for Prince . They were married for four years and unfortunately had a baby that never made it. She later was engaged to rocker Tommy Lee but split due to differences in lifestyle. She wanted children and he didn't want anymore. Without and Children from her previous marriage, she is determined to have a child while her clock is still ticking. 

These women are all very interesting in their own way. I know I'm looking forward to seeing what this show brings. For one, this was one of the first VH1 premieres that did not include the women fighting in the first episode or even in the trailer. Just a few A-List celebrities ex wives, working at maintaining a happy home and life without their ex's the positive way.
