NOW DIDDY IS HAVING DAYDREAMS ABOUT BEING THE 1ST BLACK BOND

Diddy's Considers Fragrance Ad As Bond 'Audition Tape'

Rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs is so hungry to be the next James Bond his new fragrance commercial is his "audition tape." Diddy shot the ad for the "I Am King" scent in Monte Carlo, Monaco, and he portrayed a a "black Bond" while shooting the commercial. Now he hopes 007 producers are taking note. He explains, "I really was inspired by James Bond because he's always so cool, so confident, so strong. He saves the world. I felt like after watching 12 Bonds, I wanted the agency to know that there's also some black men that can save the world. It's my fragrance ad but it's also my audition tape to be the next black Bond." But Diddy insists he's not after current Bond Daniel Craig's job: "I have a concept that he has to go and solve a problem in New York and that I'm one of the agents that he meets in New York, but he's not from New York, so he gets kidnapped... so I have to save him. By me saving him, he realizes he's getting a little rusty, he wants to go and retire and he passes it to me... 008."
Diddy has got to be one of the funniest cats out there, but I guess anything is possible. You can watch Diddy's so-called "audition tape" after the jump.

NUDITY IS EMPOWERING?

Aubrey O’Day recently discussed her decision to appear nude on the March 2009 Cover of Playboy Magazine stating:
“Playboy for me was one of the most liberating things that I’ve done as a woman.” You could never imagine how empowering it is to be nude in front of cameras and have people looking at you in that way and seeing you as beautiful. A lot of the times I think I’m seen as a bad girl and I think that’s because I’m so open. I mean, I think a lot of the type of way I’m portrayed in the media isn’t always the way … the way I am in my heart. And so I think that we were able to capture that. … I think in society we tend to put ourselves in boxes and corners and restrict ourselves, and we constantly feel the need to not say this or not wear this or do that. Taking it all off and being nude is the most natural state that you can be in, and being able to feel comfortable with that and show that sex can be beautiful, comfortable … is going to be empowering for people.”

VICTORIA'S SECRET PINK ADDS HBCU'S

When Victoria’s Secret Pink rolled out its nationwide collegiate collection in June, featuring the names and logos of some 33 universities on sweats, hoodies, football tees, and totes, the promotion didn’t include any historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). This fall, the brand plans to include five HBCUs in the second phase of its collegiate collection.

The first HBCU schools that will roll off the Pink line will be Howard University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, North Carolina A&T University, and Southern University. “We have agreements with the licensees who handle collegiate apparel for those schools, and this has been in the works for some time,” says Richard A. Dent III, chief operating officer for Pink. Dent adds that the company plans to include students from the schools in internships at Victoria’s Secret, and feature promotions at their homecoming events. Pink, a collection of loungewear geared toward young, college-aged women, first appeared in Victoria’s Secret stores in 2004. Since then, the brand has solidified its success within the parent company, Limited Brands, a retailing behemoth that includes Bath & Body Works and Henri Bendel. Dent says he didn’t view Reid’s Facebook group negatively. “We encourage people to be vocal [about our product],” he says. “Victoria’s Secret and Pink’s mission is to have relationships with our customers.”

Kelly dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict — not guilty on all 14 counts — was read. The Grammy award-winning singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted.
Minutes later, surrounded by bodyguards, he left the courthouse without comment. Dozens of fans screamed and cheered as he climbed into a waiting SUV.

BEFORE HE WAS NE-YO HE WAS GO-GO?!

While surfing the net E3 found this horrendous video of R&B singer Ne-Yo performing in a group at 'Showtime at the Apollo'. It's not exactly for sure when this show was taped, but by the outfits the guys are wearing, the goggle like sunglasses they were sporting on their head, and the played out dance moves... It looks to be circa late 1990's. Still trying to figure out what is up with Ne-Yo's head... Check out the video below and you be the judge. Plus peep out American Idol wannabe Corey Clark aka Snow... If this don't make you laugh?

Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans tells Today's Black Woman magazine how she will 'explain' to her son the reasons why she made the choice of an explicit lifestyle:


"When he ask, I'll answer honestly; that is the only way to handle it. If he asks, 'Mom--what happened to my dad?' [My answer?: 'Your father left you.'] 'Mom, how did you get to where you are?' [My answer?: 'Your mother had to strip and ho and do whatever she had to do to get you into this house. Then she went broke, and then she made an honest living.'] You just say what it is and your children will love and respect you for it. He is going to love me for being honest and doing whatever I have to do to make sure that he's being taken care of. I could be a crack whore on the corner and my son will still love me; that won't matter. And my life isn't shameful; my life is wonderful. Everything that I've done, there is nothing that is shameful, so why would I be upset? It's not a big deal."

I’m attractive, I’m charismatic, I’m rich. I’m every woman’s dream.’'

Russian Woman Sets Fire to Ex-Husband's Penis

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A woman set fire to her ex-husband's penis as he sat naked watching television and drinking vodka, Moscow police said on Wednesday.

Asked if the man would make a full recovery, a police spokeswoman said it was "difficult to predict".

The attack climaxed three years of acrimonious enforced co-habitation. The couple divorced three years ago but continued to share a small flat, something common in Russia where property costs are very high.

"It was monstrously painful," the wounded ex-husband told Tvoi Den newspaper. "I was burning like a torch. I don't know what I did to deserve this."

After 3 years you still haven't saved enough money to move out, but you constanly want to sit around the house naked... I bet if I put your penis on fire that will make you think twice about putting your nasty butt on my sofa and get you the hell out of here. - That was probably one of the thoughts going inside this woman's head. I don't agree with the actions she took, but who could stand to see there Ex of 3 years lounging around the house naked and drunk all the time.
