I was chatting with Kevin the other day about feuds in music when I was thinking out loud about how Macklemore doesn’t have any beef yet! Now, I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone, but it’s not uncommon for it to happen especially in the hip hop industry. That conversation came up just two days ago – now lo-and behold – it turns how that Macklemore does have beef…with the Oklahoma City Thunder!
The artist was not too happy when he heard that the team was playing his song “Can’t Hold Us Down” to pump up the fans in their arena and who can blame them? That is OUR team after all!
Yeah, we’re still bitter I guess. But how can you not be when someone takes away your team?!
It’s been awhile since I’ve come across something so extremely breathtaking and as amazing as this. As a little girl, I always dreamed of having a wedding outdoors or maybe even in a vineyard though I have never been. I never thought my taste in weddings would align with chapels, but if they are as magnificent as this one, then I might have to change my tune.
The chapel, which can be found in Eureka Springs, Arkansas houses one of the few examples of organic architecture. Designed in 1980 by architect E. Fay Jones, Thorncrown Chapel provides some stellar views and follows a very organic design. The structure is such a wondrous piece that it is hard to believe that anyone or anything could think of harming it, but that is currently what the chapel is up against. Recently a power company has applied to construct a 48-mile high voltage transmission line that will put it right alongside the chapel in the woods where it is located. I hope that this structure can be kept safe and at peace in its tranquil home, but it’s tough to say at this point what will happen.
In South Korea, plastic surgery is widely accepted and as a result it kind of looks like everyone is going to the same plastic surgeon. These are this year’s Miss Korea contestants and the resemblance between all of them is uncanny. I don’t know what I would think if this ever became the norm over here in the states. While these women are all gorgeous, viewing this photo makes me appreciate the kind of diversity that I have been surrounded by throughout my life.
To top everything off, Chris Brown is also a Frank Ocean hater.
“There’s a lot of strategies people try to use when they’re up for awards. You know? It’s the sympathy role.” Brown said. “I don’t have to go that route. I just do my music and do my thing. For [Ocean], it’s whatever.”
Please. just stop talking. I really think Chris Brown has no place to say something like this – that someone is getting the sympathy vote because of their sexual orientation. Frank Ocean is just better than you bro.
I’ve got a little bit of a love/hate relationship with Taylor. I’m confused by all the guys that she dates and their duration (not that it’s any of my business,) but one can still be curious, right? However, I admire her because despite all the breakups, she is still an icon to many young girls that have gone through what she has and she has no problem whatsoever calling out her ex’s. Some may say it’s a little immature, but don’t lie to yourself.
It’s funny. More than just a little funny because these songs are out FOREVER, but at the same time she’s airing out some dirty laundry…she doesn’t care though because she’s always been known to be a little bit of an open book.
I don’t know. Judge for yourself. Last night, she snubbed Harry on stage at the Grammys and it was lolz.
What a week it’s been for Beyonce! Yow Yow! is all I have to say!
First, Beyonce sang the “Star Spangled Banner” at the Inauguration yesterday and according to everyone else who witnessed it, it was pretty spectacular! And then… BOOM – she was accused of lip-synching. At this point, we’re not really sure what happened because the person who outed her was a rep from the United States Marine Band and now that statement is being retracted and denied. What a mess…
How about we judge this one for ourselves, guys?
But wait – can we talk about this really dramatic act of pulling out her ear piece? What. Was. That. [Source]
Lastly, today Beyonce launched a blog called “The Beyhive Blog.” However, in order to see the content you’ve gotta sign up and I don’t know if “B” and I are on that level yet, but I’d love to hear if any of you all decide to join. From what I’ve heard, everything has been positive! [Source]

By now, everyone has made their comments on the tragedy that happened today and I don’t want to continue saying something that has already been said. Today, I am just sad. I am so sad for the innocent children that lost their lives today and the parents who had no idea what would be taken from them. I don’t know how events like this keep recurring in our country and I don’t understand how people can have so much hate in them to take away the lives of such innocent people.
My heart goes out to all those affected in today’s tragedy.
Types of Girlfriends I Wish I Could BeI wish I could embody a little bit of all of these, but then I think about my relationship and believe that if I were just one of those girlfriends, it would be overwhelming.
Recently No Doubt was forced to pull their latest music video for their single, “Looking Hot” because lead singer Stefani was wearing a Native American wear throughout the duration for it. It’s not like this was small news or anything. Everyone seemed to weigh in on it – bloggers, journalist, twitter users, and the Native American community. So I’m a little confused as to why the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show decided to go through with a look that Karlie Kloss wore involving a Native American headdress.
Were the designers and producers living under a rock? As soon as No Doubt’s controversial video was pulled, I would’ve thought that the show organizers would decide to pull the look as well. But, they didn’t. The look appeared down the runway and once again, everyone had an opinion on it and now Karlie Kloss will not appear in the television special wearing it this December.
People really ought to be paying more attention in this industry. #poortaste
