We have all grown to be pretty leery of movie sequels. However, I must say that “The Best Man Holiday” is one sequel that I am really looking forward to. Considering the fact the the entire original cast is returning, they should be able to recreate the chemistry that made the first movie great. Let us not forget that “The Best Man” was one of the movies that helped usher in that 90′s black film thing we had going on. Granted all of the actors and plots were fairly recycled, the movement was meaningful non the less. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Dineva,

Me and this guy have been talking for a while now and lately things have been going down hill . To my understanding he has trust issues from his previous relationship and one day some boy came to him tell him lies about me . And the sad part about it is that the guy believed it And I’ve been trying to tell him that what he said was all lies but he just doesn’t wanna believe me . And right now we’re not speaking at all . And it hurts So my question to you is should I keep trying too persuade him that I’m telling the truth or just let him go . I really love him a lot and I don’t know what too do . CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE

XOXO

They once use to say “stay prayed up”, but in 2013 you must stay “lawyered up”. Chile these celebrities an public figures are losing their minds. They are fed up with judgements, ridicule, and whispers. However, instead of changing professions they are deciding to go after the bloggers. I always say “I don’t make the news, I just report it.”

Chris Stokes has been threatening to file lawsuits in California and is talking about pursuing $2 million in damages for what he considers defamation of his character. One of Stokes’ main targets is our good friend Michelle Brown from Straight From The A. Long story short, stokes is mad with Michelle for blogging and chronicling all of Raz B’s past allegations of molestation. In particular, stokes is pissed about a youtube video that Michelle (and many other sites) posted where Raz B is having a telephone conversation with someone about his past claims of molestation. I’m still lost, it would seem to me that Stokes would be trying to sue Raz-B and not the internet gatekeepers that shared his story. Michelle didn’t create the story, she just reported it. hmmmmm Catch these T’s Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Dineva

Hi, I want some good advice from someone who will definitely keep it real and I feel its you. I’ve been knowing my current boyfriend for 5 years and dating for two years. When I met him I was so gullible and would do anything to please me. Nothing X-rated. Since then Lately he has been acting real dry. I mean from the convention to the sex. He comes off like I bother him. I keep hope alive and assume its because were both so busy with our daily routine. However I’m not to sure about that. I dont have any evidence of him cheating. Unfortunately, Yes I’ve  had to deal with his cheating in the past. However, he claims he’s not cheating. At a certain point I believe him but I don’t believe him. I do feel that we are growing apart. I want my relationship but I feel like I keep trying to get the wheel to spin. But he shuts down and turns dry or say something out of tune to end the conversation. So we want talk for hours until he’s in the mood. I’m fed up Please Help.

Dear Dineva,

I am writing to ask for advice for my goddaughter KB. We just got back from Houston, TX, from the Sunday’s Best auditions. This was my first time experiencing this out of 1790 people again, she has made it 3 years straight to the finals, (Atlanta in 2011 and 2012). She has a sound, like none other and again she did not make it to the show. So much I can say about how the auditions are organized, but I won’t. She has sunken into a deep depression since she is wanting to get her two girls, (who currently live with her Mom, I named them Coco, 11, and  Chanel, 13,) to live with her. She is living with me now and I don’t know what to do to get “my songbird” to even smile again since so much has happened since then, (lost job from chicken factory, car repo).  I am concerned about her since I am her only mother figure. Please advise.

We love your blog and I felt the urge to write to you. God Bless You and Your Endeavors. Esther

Y’all I must say that season 2 of R&B Divas is giving me all kinds of life. On episode 2, we were introduced to Angie Stone. Angie Stone was brought in by Faith the serve as a mediator and to try and instill some knowledge upon the girls because she is older. Angie, a 30-year industry veteran made very little headway with the Sylena & Nicci beef. Crazy Keke on the other hand created a a brand new issue as a result of her immaturity and insecurities. I covered it all and then some in my video recap. I also payed a lil homage to Angie Stone with an old through back that you guys will be sure to love. Read the rest of this entry »
