Celeb 411

Couldn't they have told him to watch the pole!  DANG

Celeb 411 - We can't get enough of Kimye and apparently neither can the Papi.  Poor Kanye was caught on tape running into a pole while house hunting (again) with Kim K.  Ouch!  Then of course there was the Night At the Museum...we mean MET where that tragedy of a dress worn by Kim was just....just TRAGIC.  Yes we've talked about her maternity wear with Kristyn Burtt recently but she is just not listening to us!  Luckily she won't be stuffing herself into regular clothes much longer as baby Kimye should be arriving soon.


We just have to mention once again how much we love Chelle O as our girl Patrice Washington calls her.  Just loving her, with one handsome Prince Harry, in this look by Prabal Gurung (did you know they sell this label at Target?).  As always she is looking ever so lovely at the Mother's Day White House Tea.  Gon girl!!!

Reality Recap

Evelyn Lozado and her daughter Shaniece hit up the cover of Rolling Out Magazine.  In this special Mother's Day edition they talk about their very close relationship.  Evelyn reveals how she leaned on Shaniece after the domestic abuse situation with her now ex-husband Chad Johnson.  Shaniece said that was her proudest moment of her mother when she left that situation.  Congrats on the cover ladies!

Cocktail Erika’s Cocktail of the Week

Tequila Sunrise

Ingredients:
4 oz. orange juice
2 oz tequila
1/2 oz. grenadine
orange slice for garnish
maraschino cherry for garnish

Mixing Instructions:
Pour the tequila and the orange juice into a highball glass with ice cubes.  Stir until ingredients are combined well.  Next slowly pour the grenadine around the inside edge of the glass.  The grenadine will sink and then slowly rise to mix with the other ingredients naturally.  Then garnish with the orange slice and cherry.

Enjoy!

5 Questions with Patrice Washington - Author | Speaker | Coach

 

When we talked to Patrice Washington author of Real Money Answers, we knew she was going to make a fantastic show guest.  Not only is she informative but extremely entertaining.  You are going to love her take on, "A Man is Not Your Financial Plan".  But of course we had to give you a lil introduction before the woman takes to the studio, so get to know Patrice a bit more with these 5 questions.

 

1. If you were in a Soul Train line, what song would be playing and what dance would you be doing?

I've never been a true Soul Train line dancer, but when you're 6 feet with heels on, slender and kinda cute, most people usually let you get away with doing a hard Naomi Campbell walk down the line. :)

2. Most inexpensive date you've been on.

My husband and I have made a huge picnic basket lunch and just sat out on the front lawn and people watched. Best dates ever!

3. What is your favorite way to relieve stress?

My favorite way to relieve stress is having cocktails and conversations with my girls. . . Laughing is the biggest stress relief for me and I am blessed to have very crazy and entertaining friends!

4. Who would you stand in line to buy a ticket to see in concert?

Yea, so I don't think I'd stand in line to buy a ticket to ANY musical concert. Working in entertainment and getting FREE tickets to everything for awhile, may have spoiled me. . . But a ticket to meet, greet and hang with Shelley O (known to others as First Lady Obama)? Now, I might stand in line for that!

5. Power statements, something that gets you over the valleys in life - What's yours?

"I am who I say I am." Enough said.

 

Shelly O...hmmm we're wondering if it's more to the story than what Patrice is saying?  But you know The Divas will find out.  Check out Patrice this Saturday 8am EST on Cocktails and Conversation Radio.  We might even convince her to join us for the Wednesday Wind Down this week, stay tuned.

Dirty Martini | Week in Review

This is the Olympic addition ya'll....and 1st up we have our First Lady, Michelle Obama

She's hanging with David Beckham, The new Bond Girl aka Queen Elizabeth and the Duchess Catherine.  We'd say Mrs. Obama is having a grand ole time on the other side of the pond.  Even the USA Men's Basketball team lined up just to get a personalized hello from her.  Barack is lucky to have her on his team and we love having her as an example for African Americans everywhere.  #Barack2012

GO GO GABBY!

Man what an extraordinary performance from one of the Prettiest Brown Girls at the Olympics, Gabby Douglas.  She helped her team win the gold and went on to rock more medal for her individual all around performance.  Represent!!!  That Russian chile was PO'd.








HOTTEST Olympic Bod - Ryan Lochte (but Track and Field hasn't come on yet swooning over David Oliver) and wait there's more...is he dating LAHHATL's Michelle K? Check out the Global Grind vid here: Is it a love connection with K Michelle and Lochte?

HOTTEST Thing Olympiads are receiving (besides swagalicious neck candy) - CELEB TWEETS.
