Throwback Monday

                            While everyone is focusing on All I Want For Christmas Is You , THIS is one of my favorite Mariah holiday songs. Yes, she didn't WRITE it but her version moves my SOUL.

Throwback Monday

                                25 years after its debut, Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has officially hit number 1 on the billboard Hot 100.
Congratulations, Lambily! You did it!

Throwback Monday

                             Today, the legendary Miss Britney Spears was born.... and the world has been better for it. Yes, she's not quite the same but we all have a Britney bop we rock from time to time.

Throwback Monday

Kanye West's famed album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy just celebrated its 9th birthday.
Some say that was Ye's last greatest album he every made.
While we all miss the Old Kanye, this album was definitely a good one.
What was your favorite song on the LP?

Throwback Monday

                          On November 15th, 2011, Drake dropped Take Care. It debuted at no.1, went platinum 6 times, and won Rap Album Of the Year at the Grammys.
What's your favorite song on the LP? This one is mine, even though it was a bonus track. 
Hey, it gave us YOLO!

Throwback Monday

                 Last Monday it was mine (and Diddy's) birthday.
I was so caught up in the festivities.... I didn't post a throwback!
Yes, I know this isn't an official video, but can we all just take a second and appreciate this song. Had 50 and Bey done a video... it would've been EPIC.

Throwback Monday

Prior to Kylie's "Rise & Shine", her big sister Kim tried her hand at singing.
To honor Kim's 39th birthday today, let's all take a trip down memory lane when Kim debuted Jam.

Throwback Monday- Hyphy Edition

After attending Rolling Loud last weekend in Oakland and with Bay Area legend Keak Da Sneak making a special appearance during G-Eazy's set... I've been in a super duper hyphy mood.

Throwback Monday

While all the Kanye Stans wait for Jesus Is King to drop...
let's remember a time when Kanye was consistent with his music....
And when we all liked him.

Megan Thee Stallion & Nicki Minaj Drop "Hot Girl Summer" Music Video

Yes, Labor Day marks the unofficial summer.
But Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj dropped the video to anthem of the summer.
To be honest, when I first heard this song I wasn't into it... especially Ty Dolla $ign's part. I felt it was too watered-down because I love Megan's edge in her album Fever  and in her mixtapes.
However, the song has grown on me.. and I love the video.
I'm a huge fan of Megan. I love her music, her positivity with other female artists and most importantly.. I love that through all of her recent fame... she's still working towards her degree in health administration at Texas Southern University.

While hot girl summer is coming to an end.... Hot Girl Meg has now officially declared it Hot Nerd Fall.
Safe to say, whatever Megan does... I'm following. 

Throwback Monday

                                   Look, I'm EXCITED to see Missy do her thing as she receives her Video Vanguard at tonight's MTV Video Music Awards. You know her performance is going to be EPIC!

Throwback Monday: Honoring Missy Elliot

                                After two decades of blessing us with the most creative music videos of all time... MTV is finally honoring Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot the Video Vanguard award formerly known as the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award. Missy is the FIRST female rapper to be given the honor.
 The VMAs are on Monday August 26th.

Throwback Monday

                             In honor of Queen Latifah getting tapped to play Ursula in the new live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.

Throwback Monday

This week's throwback is to remember the great song that is One Sweet Day. As Lil Nas X's Old Town Road beat it at most weeks at number 1 on the billboard charts. Mariah and Boyz II Men's hit isn't the only song the kiddie trap-country fave beat out. It also beat out Despacito.

I feel it's unfair to compare Lil Nas X's song to Mariah's, because the way we consume music nowadays is so different. During the era of One Sweet Day, people had to physically go out and buy the record or call the radio station to request the song. In 2019, you have everything on your phone. Regardless, congrats Lil Nas.

DRAKEWATCH: Drake and Chris Brown Battle in Video for "No Guidance"

                             In 2012, Drizzy and Breezy infamously got into it at a nightclub. Fast-forward to 2019, the pair have collaborated on a hit slow jam record and are poking fun of the incident in a music video for the track. I love this song and the video made me LOL like 10 times.

What do you think?

Throwback Monday

                           This past Saturday, Ashlee Simpson's debut album Autobiography turned 15 years old. The album made all of us want to be Jessica Simpson's punk-rock little sister. I even rocked the bangs and went darker myself!

Throwback Monday

                                Today Jaden Smith turned 21.
So, let's throw it back to this jam... because I was legit into it.

Throwback Monday

It's Canada Day!
Since Mama Kaurdashian hails from the United States' Northern neighbor, I thought I'd honor the day with a classic from everyone's favorite Canadian.

Working On My Fitness: Operation Christine Kaurdashian Summer Body

Megan Thee Stallion declared Summer 2019, Hot Girl Summer, so I'm getting in formation and taking part.
Shout out to King Athletic for the hook-up to help get me started!
First and foremost their speed rope is the perfect workout accessory.  You can bust out 100 jump ropes along with some crunches and you've got a great warm-up or you can take it up a notch and get a good burner WOD (workout of the day). You can jump rope literally anywhere (well, be realistic). I'm a former Crossfitter and love a good set of double-unders to get my heart rate up even though sometimes my in-coordination causes the ropes to get caught in my hair.
The good thing about this brand, their blog has great training videos to help educate you on technique!

After watching Beychella, I was in awe of Beyonce's derriere. However ,I'm not as blessed. To get somewhat of a booty, these loop bands are my saving grace. I love to do hip-thrusts and squats with them. Want a harder workout? Use the blackish-grey!

Last but not least, the recovery.
I'm no spring chicken, so my body gets tight nowadays. To loosen up, I love these massage balls. I even keep one at work! I roll out my feet almost everyday. Sometimes, I get really spicy and use the balls to rollout my legs and shoulders to tighten knots and relieve tension. It's a great way to work that deep tissue. Another hack: Put the balls slightly in the microwave for a heated massage.

Head to King Athletic for all your fitness needs, and tell them Christine Kaurdashian sent ya! :)

Throwback Monday... On a Tuesday

It's been 10 years since Michael Jackson died and yes, I'm just as conflicted as you are right now.

But I'm going to post this song, because Beyonce references it in "Before I Let Go".

Throwback Monday

                             So, since Katy Perry and Taylor Swift have squashed their beef. Let's take it back to where it all started, shall we?

Throwback Monday

                               On this day 11 years ago, Lil Wayne dropped Tha Carter III marking himself as one of hip-hop music's GOATs.
Yes, since then, Weezy has been chasing that album's success.
What's your fave from the album?

Throwback Monday

I've rediscovered this song and haven't stopped listening to it since.
Who else misses old-school Brandy without the Kardashians using her music to bash Jordyn Woods?

Throwback Monday

I used to skip this Destiny's Child song most of the time on the "Survivor" album and JUST realized there's a video for it. This video screams early-00s AND I'm here for it.

Throwback Monday

Since tonight is the Met Gala, let's reminisce back to 2014 during the infamous "elevator incident" between Beyonce, Solange and Jay-Z. From that we were gifted with "Lemonade", "4:44", "Everything Is Love".
Thank you, Solange.
On that note, let's honor "Lemonade" with my fave single off the album:
Because I still haven't forgiven, Hov.

Throwback Monday: RIP John Singleton

Oscar-nominated director, John Singleton, passed away today; after being taken off life-support following a stroke.
Singleton is best known for his films Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice, Baby Boy and more.
He also directed music videos, like Michael Jackson's iconic Remember The Time.
To honor Singleton's work, this week's throwback is dedicated to him. 

Throwback Monday

Like many people, I've been watching Beyonce's Netflix documentary nonstop as well as the live album. My favorite part? The Diva/ Everybody Mad portion.
What's yours?

Throwback Monday

Ariana Grande killed it at Coachella on Sunday night.
Closing out the show with the *NSYNC, minus Justin Timberlake.
In honor of the piece of nostalgia we were gifted, here's a throwback to keep it going.

Throwback Monday

                             Timbaland has been showcasing some beats on the 'gram lately. Does this mean we'll finally be getting some new music from the legendary producer? I hope so!

Throwback Monday

                            This weeks throwback is because I'm glad Jlo and Arod are finally engaged!!!

Throwback Monday

                              In honor of the Jonas Brothers reuniting with a FIRE song. Here's a throwback of their earlier material, which I still shamelessly loved.

Jonas Brothers Are Back!

LADIES!!!
Your favorite sibling trio is BACK!

The Jonas Brothers!

Look, the JoBros are a little after my time, but I truly appreciate this pop-culture moment.
I also love the song AND THE VIDEO!
The video features each brother's significant other- yes, Priyanka is in it too.
It's like the 2006 Marie Antoinette movie meets  Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland but in England.
I'm here for it and glad the trio is back!

Jordyn Woods Breaks Silence & The Backash

This morning, people were glued to their Facebook feeds to hear Jordyn Woods (Kylie's ex-BFF) break her silence on what happened that February night when she allegedly hooked up with Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian's baby-daddy.
Yes, Kylie's sister.
Woods went on Jada Pinkett-Smith's Red Table Talk to finally speak her truth.
Jordyn says she went out to the club, then went with her friends to a house party. That house party ended up being at Tristan's house.
Right off the bat... Jordyn says she's NEVER slept with Tristan. 
Jordyn now says, she shouldn't have gone over there as it wasn't appropriate.
She debunks the rumors that Thompson took everyone's cell phones at the party.
She denies that any lapdance took place, but did say while Tristan was sitting on a chair, she was sitting on that chair's arm with her legs on his. Okay, that's a little suspect. 
She says she and a friend stayed there until 7AM and said she needed to get home she is 21 BTW.
When she left to get into the car she called, Tristan kissed her.
He kissed her on the mouth.... no tongue... no passion. Woods says she talked to Khloe and Kylie later but never told them, admitting she omitted the information, which she now regrets.
In the interview Jordyn says she has tons of regrets:

1. She should've told Khloe the FULL truth
2. She shouldn't have gone to the party at Tristan's 

I believed Jordyn. She's known the Smiths for years, and they don't seem like the family who would let sh!t slide.
Well, moments after the interview aired... Khloe took to twitter to air her grievances

Why are you lying @jordynwoods ?? If you’re going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story. BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!

— Khloé (@khloekardashian) March 1, 2019

Of course, the internet dragged Khloe for continuously dragging Jordyn, but not holding Tristan accountable. Remember, Tristan's cheating caused Khloe to go into early labor in April... but we're just going to forget about that.
So this prompted Khloe to address THAT issue 

Tristan is equally to blame but Tristan is the father of my child. Regardless of what he does to me I won’t do that to my daughter. He has been addressing this situation PRIVATELY. If Tristan were to lie publicly about what conspired,then yes I would address him publicly as well

— Khloé (@khloekardashian) March 1, 2019

The family's makeup artist, Hrush took to twitter to slam Jordyn's interview:

All she had to do is genuinely apologize and take accountability for her actions!!! The fact she chose to go on FB LIVE AND LIEEE ABOUT THE SITUATION SHOWS, she is not sorry at all!

— Hrush |StyledByHrush (@HrushAchemyan) March 1, 2019

 THEN.... later in the morning.... makeup artist/ cosmetics creator Jeffree Star took to his IG story to slam Jordy.... claiming everyone around Calabasas has seen Jordyn and Tristan canoodling and they've been an item for MONTHS:

Jeffree Star says Jordyn is lying and all of Calabasas knows this. Do you believe him?

So what do YOU think of all the drama? Do you believe Jordyn?

Throwback Monday

                                Congratulations to Lady Gaga on her Oscar win! I remember seeing Gaga at a small venue in San Francisco in 2009 when she was promoting her debut album. She has come a long way and I couldn't be prouder.

Keeping Up With Kylie, Khloe, Jordyn and Tristan

UsWeekly

This.News.Had.Me.Shooketh.
This had me over the edge.
Like, I still can't believe this.
Jordyn had one job.... be Kylie's loyal friend and commit to the loyalty to continue to secure her bag. She threw it all away for TRISTAN THOMPSON.
Not Lebron....
Not Steph Curry....
Not Russel Westbrook...
TRISTAN THOMPSON.
For those who are still lost.
Kylie Jenner's BFF, Jordyn Woods is an aspiring (emphasis on aspiring) model and influencer.
Well, she got a little too comfortable and was seen canoodling with Cleveland Cavalier, Tristan Thompson.
Tristan is Khloe Kardashian's baby-daddy and on/off boyfriend.
Khloe and Kylie are sisters.
There you have it.
Reports say Jordyn is (rightly) distraught and keeps calling Khloe and Kylie and they're not having it.
Jordyn was considered a member of the family and they whole KarJenner clan is upset.
Jordyn was Kylie's ride-or-die and now the youngest of the family doesn't know what to do.
Meanwhile, Khloe broke up with Tristan... for the 238120981051 time... but who knows if those two will make amends.
A few days after the bombshell, Jordyn made an appearance at her false lash line release party, Eylure Jordyn Woods Summer Heir, making a small remark about the drama.

This is Jordyn Woods at the launch of her eyelash line Eylure last night, the same day she moved out of Kylie’s house for sleeping with her sister’s man.

 This story is so unreal to me.
Like, I can't believe Jordyn would get caught up with that loser.
I guess we're going to have to watch this unfold on KUWTK, but it's a little too quiet on the KarJenner front.
All the sisters have unfollowed Jordyn on the 'gram.
Kylie's collab with her ex-BFF is still for sale at regular price, but the Jordy lipkit was marked down and has since soldout.
Jordyn was a model for Khloe's Good American denim line, but reports say she's since been removed.
Best of luck in life, Jordyn.
These memes about the situation have given me LIFE. 

R. Kelly Remains In Jail; Unable to Make Bail

Chicago Police Dept.

Cook County had their hands full this week. 
R. Kelly is still in jail.
Yesterday, a judge granted Kelly's bond at one million dollars and he's not able to pay the $100,000. So, he's still in the clink.
On Friday, Chicago prosecutors indicted the singer on 10 counts of aggravated assault on four victims. Three of them were allegedly underage during the encounters.
Lawyer Michael Avenatti says last week he obtained a tape that shows Kelly having sex with an underage girl. That tape was handed over to the authorities, hence why the charges came down on the R&B singer.
But his problems don't stop there.
Kelly allegedly owes about $169K in unpaid child support.
The indictment comes after decades of accusations of sexual misconduct with underage girls and women.
It will be interesting to see how this will turn out as well.
Will Joycelyn Savage and Dominique Gardner return to their families?
Will he finally be locked up for good, essentially permanently muting the singer?
In the past 8 years or so, people have been calling for R. Kelly's day in court and his karma, it looks like it's finally arrived. 

Jussie Smollet's Saga

Chicago Police Dept.

This past week was FULL of celebrity news.
I didn't even know where to start nor did I know how to even tackle this.
But let's start with Jussie Smollett.
Late last month, the Empire actor claimed he was beaten by two men wearing MAGA hats while they yelled racial and homophobic remarks at the actors... then poured a strange liquid on him and tied a noose around his neck.
Well, fast forward to this past week.
Chicago police say Smollett fabricated the entire thing.
He paid an extra in Empire along with his brother $3500 with.a.check (yes, he had a paper trail).  Surveillance video also surfaced of the two men buying the rope from the local hardware store.
Also, the two men told the cops.
Police say Smollett did this because he was dissatisfied with his salary on Empire.
Smollett eventually made bail, then rushed to the set of the Fox hit, to convince his costars he was telling the truth. 
Welp, the executive producers of the show say Smollett will NOT be appearing in the final two episodes of the next season.

A post shared by Empire (@empirefox) on Feb 22, 2019 at 10:22am PST

TMZ says Smollett hired one of the brothers to help him get in shape for an upcoming music video. Though that doesn't prove he didn't do it, it could provide reasonable doubt in court.
This was so mind-blowing to me because so many Hollywood heavyweights rallied around Smollett... only to be hoodwinked.
I'm sure in less than a year Smollett will be on a VH1 reality show about needing some kind of rehab or he'll do a special with Iyanla or Dr. Drew. #bet.

                                         Like many of you, I too was UNDERWHELMED by the Super Bowl halftime show.
First off, Atlanta has MANY iconic artists who should've performed during halftime (yes, I know Big Boi is from the ATL).
I know, the Super Bowl and the NFL has been a source of contention right now.
But if it were up to me, this would've been my choice.
