SPOTLIGHT: Lloimincia Halls: Current Stop, LSU - Next Stop, Olympics 2016?

Hi People,

Pay NO attention to Lloimincia Halls name, or how you should actually spell it, because this is correct; I checked several times. Don't even worry about how to pronounce it, because I can probably guarantee that she will be a contender in the next Olympics in Rio in 2016.

I took Gymnastics back in the day despite growing up in the rough streets of Brooklyn. It was the 80s, so Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller...they were like everything to little girls back then.

Anyway, this video came across my Facebook timeline, and it put a smile on my face, which is literally impossible to do. The competition Lloimincia was in was back in January 2014 against Alabama.

She scored a Perfect 10...the music? Micheal Jackson and Earth, Wind and Fire...*nods head* yep, that works for me.

Enjoy, or whatever.

Best,
Black Daria

Dear Kandi and Todd: You got Married Too? Wow. *does a cartwheel*

I guess it is that season...you know, getting married and stuff. Well, congrats.

What's funny to me is that I first heard this announcement Friday morning on Power 105.1. I still listen to The Breakfast Club, even though I think Charlemagne is a complete dickhead.

Nonetheless, when they reported the story, they weren't too sure if Kandi's mother, affectionately known as Mama Joyce, had attended this ridiculous excuse to get a spin-off show.

According to Rhymes With Snitch, via some other source, Mama Joyce was quoted as saying that Todd almost didn't sign the pre-nup...but that led me to ask a question; who waits 24 hours before a wedding to sign a pre-nup? I've never been married, only proposed to several times by a bunch of losers, so that made me raise an eyebrow.

Then I went back to what I do best. I poured a drink and...well, had an herbal refreshment, of course.

When will the DIVORCE happen is the real question...I give you guys about 5 years. 10 tops.

Best,
Black Daria

Dear Rob: GET OFF YOUR FAT ASS. NOW.

Dear Rob:

So I hear you don't want to get off your FAT ASS to go to your sister's wedding. I don't blame you, she is a whore, but you gotta represent.

So...go take a walk. Stop being depressed. Motherf*cker, you are selling SOCKS at Neiman Marcus. That's better than nothing. I have a dollar in my pocket as I type this letter. You could lose at least 40 lbs. and still look...OK.

Get it together. I would call you the "N" word, but that isn't appropriate, even though your sister is marrying one of those...you know...

Dear Ashanti and Nelly: You got Married? Mazel Tov.

Dear Nelly and Ashanti,

So you finally did it. You got married. That's what I heard on the radio yesterday...a question though...why would anyone pay $42 for a party? Was that the reception? Or just something to support weak album sales? Either way, that had to be a major fail. My sources tell me that you could have had a spot for free...you know, how the INDUSTRY does it.

Well, at least Nelly found a "ride or die" chick to roll with him through the times he was fucking other bitches, selling drugs, and other nonsense.

Again, Mazel Tov.

Best,

Dear Benzino: You Aren't Important Enough to Get Shot.

Dear Benzino,

What in TARNATION would you have to be doing to owe someone anything for you to get shot? Aren't you the former owner of The Source? I know you got money...why would your nephew shoot you for something so frivolous?

Oh, I forgot. Us Blacks do dumb things like this to get money...or are you Latino? Eh, doesn't matter. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Dear Kim and Kanye: You aren't fooling anyone...

Dear Kanye and Kim:

If you think you are going to get away with not paying for your engagement video, you are dead wrong.

Confidentiality agreements aren't always binding...so done with these shenanigans.

Nice outfits.

Dear Grannies: The Blacks are equally confused about Beyonce and Kanye. Trust.

Dear Grandmas:

On behalf of America, we apologize for the lyrics of Beyonce and Kanye West. If you knew anything, you'd know that they are victims of this thing called Corporate America, where they do things like tell you to write ridiculous songs so they can pay their bills.

Anyway, enjoy your crumpets and tea.

Dear Ja Rule: A new reality show? OK, I guess...

Dear Ja,

I won't talk about that party I went to back in the 2000's where your secret squirrel looking ass thought it was your birthday and not Ashanti's. I don't even remember the name of the club, just your arrogance which eventually caught up with you.

Fast forward to 2014. A new reality show? Cool, I guess. Will I watch it? Eh. Depends. I'd choose Revolt over MTV considering that new potential merger with Fuse, and I'd wait about two more years (giving them time to create the reality TV show lane...eventually they will have to fold towards that arena), but this is your life and not mine (#firstworldproblems).

In the meantime, stay your ass out of jail. And make sure you remember your worth when signing that contract. I see a lot of party hosting at strip clubs in your future. Another album? I'll pass.

Best,
Black Daria

Dear Porsha: You aren't fooling me...

Dear Porsha,

Way to work the PR machine! After those 'devastating' reports that you were left with nothing from your marriage to Kordell Stewart, we now learn that you've been secretly dating the very rich son of an African President...

One who seems to not only run his country under a dictatorship, but likes to eat parts of his opponents to gain power.

Sounds like a real catch...good luck with that. Let's just hope you can sell that Rolls Royce his son bought you when you find yourself having a rainy day. 

Oh, and since we all know you didn't go to history classes in school (don't think we don't remember your screw up with the Emancipation Proclamation), you miss, can not be a princess, as he's not a prince. He's just the son of the President. I know, Coming to America was quite the tease.

Nice steering wheel. That's just about as nice as I can be to you.

Best,

Black Daria

Dear Mona: Got $50 million?

Dear Mona,

This isn't looking too good. So it appears that there are two people who are claiming that the Love and Hip Hop Franchise on VH1 is really an idea spun from their pitch to have a show called 'Hip Hop Wives' come to the airwaves.

Copyright Infringement, Fraud and Breach of Contract...if that equals $50 million dollars, then sign me up. I know there's a show out there I initially thought of...

Oh wait. I don't recall signing any contracts.

Good luck with this...that's a lot of ad revenue dollars lost for VH1. I'm just gonna call it now and say they win $10 million. Let's see if I am right.

Best,

Dear J. Lo: Yes, you would...

Dear Jennifer,

Don't you even lie.

You know you would let both Ben Affleck and Diddy drown (starts @ the 5:22 mark).

Dear Porsha: Damn girl...

Dear Porsha,

It's a sad day for you, huh? I still don't know why, despite reports of you not returning back in December, you are on Real Housewives of Atlanta because you are really not too smart and boring, and now, you gets nothing...

One thing is certain. Doing Kandi's play will not be the check you aspire to have, and I can't see what's next for you, as speaking engagements are certainly not in the future because you can't speak English.

But that is a nice ring. I'd take TMZ's advice and definitely pawn that. You could get some big bucks.

Good luck on the job hunt, I hear Atlanta is a tough market to land a gig.

Justin Bieber: Are you serious?

Justin,

I'm not bothering with any salutations, buddy. You have turned into quite the little prick. I just happened to stumble across this video yesterday in my timeline, and needless to say, I wasn't surprised to see your responses:

A few questions:

1. Are you really popping your collar? That stopped in the early 2000's, I am pretty sure of that fact. Might have even been before you were born.

2. Are you high during this deposition? Did Lil' Wayne and your new hip-hop crew tell you it's best to do these types of interviews when you are under the influence?

3. You don't get to object a question. See that guy sitting next to you? He's your attorney, and that's his job.

I'm done with this. Even Usher wants nothing to do with you right now. 

You do have enough money to retire now. Might want to think about it.

Best,
Black Daria

Dear Chris: You really need a Girlfriend, huh?

Hi Chris,

So, you really needed to find a way to get a new girlfriend or boyfriend, eh? I don't know if this is genius or not, but I do know this:

If all these girls have to do is add 8 + 2 (click on photo to see this question), take a nice photo, and maybe have a decent following on FB, IG and Twitter...then we've got a problem, Houston. Big. Freaking. Problem.

What happened to good old captcha?

I'd just rather you focus on your album, but hey, I guess your problems are those of rich people.

Fine. But 8 + 2 will always equal 10 so...

Dear Drake & Rihanna: Are You Dating? Again?

Dear Drake and Rhianna:

Let me just hit the snooze button on this now, but Rihanna has been spotted on Drake's tour:

1. Amsterdam

2. Brussels

Where to next, lovers? Oh wait, this is just another publicity stunt. Carry on.

Dear Jimmy: Mistrial?

Dear Jimmy,

Great day for you, huh? Seems your trial ended in a hung jury, as no one could figure out your involvement in the murder of Lowell Fletcher.

Not to worry, somewhere the prosecution is coming up with a plan and will be trying to sue you. So don't throw that "I'm Staying Home" party yet. 

Best,

Black Daria

P.S. Is Czar Entertainment still relevant? *googles* Oh.

Dear Michael: Are you the Father?

So apparently, Michael Jackson really did have sex, contrary to popular belief. Not only that, he has a son...at least this is what's popping up on all the blogs, because there's just nothing left to talk about. Fuck Ukraine, I guess. I'm not saying that, I am saying this is what people are saying to themselves, and fortunately, this story isn't trending on my Facebook timeline...

Meet aspiring (which is why this is really happening) R&B singer B. Howard. He's now backing up on his claim that Michael is his father, but I must say, that jaw line is very Michael...and Randy.

So, do you think this is the one? Cause we all know that Paris, Prince and Blanket are adopted.

Dear Ashanti: Please fire your Stylist...

Dear, dear Ashanti:

Now, I know you are out here trying to make a comeback, but this outfit is screaming Tina Knowles.

Don't lie, she made this for Destiny's Child, and they just never wore it.

Your stylist is fired.

Dear Patti: What in the Kitty Cat?

Hi Patti,

You don't know me, and I've been on a hiatus, but I came across this picture on TMZ and couldn't help myself. I had to post it.

I don't personally own a fur coat, but if I did, I am not sure if this is the one I'd pick. I can hear my friends already screaming about animal rights, and this coat makes me not blame them, not one bit.

True, you are a legend. I even love your cookbook. But this coat...it's just...

...I hate it. You will always be fly, but not this coat.

Best,

@ the VMAs...the performances I cared about...

Just got done watching the performances of the VMAs...the ones that I cared about anyway. Here are my thoughts:


Beyonce's Love is 'Tops'

Get More: 2011 VMA, Music, Beyoncé

I don't know...I won't believe she's preggers until I literally see the first pics that she sells to People Magazine for some astronomical number that should put the kid through college. Normally, I have beef with Beyonce, but now that she's preggers, I guess I am not allowed to say anything bad about her, but for someone in their first trimester, she's certainly comfortable in her heels...still wondering how she got away with performing in NYC at Roseland with no leak of this news. I also appreciate that she's not wearing a leotard...


Jay-Z/Kanye West 'Otis' Performance - Snooze Button...until the 1:57 mark...

Get More: 2011 VMA, Music, JAY Z and Kanye West

I already talked about how I felt about this song...and was still equally underwhelmed by this performance until the random guy came to steal the show...I love how the security guard got all up in the middle of the performance...I think this was planned, but hey...whatever makes the show work, right?


Chris Brown's Still on my Top 3 lists of "Great Entertainers"...

Get More: 2011 VMA, Music, Chris Brown

...no, not all time. Only Michael Jackson can claim that, and he's dead (RIP MJ)...dare I say that it will be a long time before we see that type of talent in our lifetime...but I thought this was creative...the fact that he did a snippet of Teen Spirit made me...never mind...let's just say I REALLY like that song...

Lil Wayne's Autotune Moment

Get More: 2011 VMA, Music, Lil Wayne

Eh...no thanks. Hate that I have to see his blue Polo drawers in this...and I hate the Ronald McDonald shoes...who styled him? I'd fire them...this outfit blows, and was actually distracting...I also didn't really dig the live version of "John"...sometimes that works, in this case...just didn't do it for me. The production of that track is cray (that's the new way to say crazy)...so yeah...eh.

I sifted through the other videos, but I just said no thanks. Still trying to figure out what the deal with Lady Gaga's outfit was...was she channeling MJ and Amy Winehouse at the same time?

Seems like the show wasn't heavily driven towards the performances...for some reason, I expected to see more of the video winners perform...seemed kinda strange, but I didn't watch the show from start to finish, so maybe there was a rhyme and reason to it. I did love the stage, and I always love how the producers find a way to incorporate the fans. You also gotta love the influence Twitter has, with the implanted #VMA hashtag...

So yeah, what did you think?

Black Daria ;/
