SkyHigh Sports

Man, sometimes you just need to let your hair down and have a little fun.  Since my little bball phenom had a tournament down near the LA area this weekend I decided to take the kids to have some fun at a new place I found online, SkyHigh Sports in Woodland Hills.  This place is clean, big and loads of fun for not only the under 15 set but adults too.  No everyone doesn't have to take it to the extreme and jump into the "Monster Pit" like I did and oh trust me it took 15 minutes for me to get out of there so that will never happen again. Unfortunately I didn't see the 8 and under advisory on this one BUT the large trampoline was the absolute best.  You can check out my "adventure" here:

Yeah my dismount was a little rough but not bad for a 42 year old that weighs much more than her desired weight.  Needless to say I will be going back but next time I'll be sure I have my inhaler. 

This Divas review of SkyHigh Sports is a 5 Cocktail glasses out of 5.  Did I mention they have a Parents Lounge too?  4 flat screens, comfy couches and a door to block out the noise.  Yep they have it all as well as FREE Valet parking.  Visit their website and go take a JUMP www.jumpskyhigh.com.

Dirty Martini | Janet Jackson show off new body on the cover of Prevention Magazine

Prevention Magazine - July 2012

When I first saw Janet Jackson's commercial for Nutrisystem, my first thought was why?  Why was Janet...Miss Jackson, if you're nasty was joining the laundry list of other celebs who have decided to jump on the weight loss spokesperson bandwagon.  But now that she has unveiled her new body I understand perfectly why she did it.  In the July issue of the magazine, Janet opens up about her life at 46, being the spokeswoman for Nutrisystem and her thoughts on her niece Paris' (Michael's daughter) decision to pursue an acting career at 14.

In the magazine, she says:

"Health was always a concern.  When I gained weight in 2005, my nutritionist was very worried.  I was close to having diabetes.  Even when I lost it and then gained quite a bit back, there was always the thought of heart disease."

"I don't like to work out, and I get bored easily.  Tony Martinez (her trainer) is great.  When I'm getting ready for a tour, I'll work out with the dancers.  He'll put  us in teams and we'll do all sorts of drills and races"

Well Miss Jackson, at 46 you look amazing!  To read more about Janet and her awesome transformation, make sure you pick up a copy of the July 2012 issue of Prevention Magazine.

Yours in health and fitness!

Sizzling Hot Summer TV!

As the weather outside gets hotter, the same can be said for night time TV.  Last summer, our Style Diva, Robin fell in LOVE with Vh1's original show, Single Ladies and well it looks like season 2 will be even hotter and better!  Single Ladies is a romantic comedy series about 3 best friends - April, Keisha and Raquel, each with their own philosophy on love, sex and relationships, proving that not all women share the same desires.  Keisha played by Lisa Rae McCoy is a former video vixen who believes in making her own luck, money and who believes in selecting her men with her head instead of her heart.  April, played by Charity Shea thinks she's found the "ideal" man for the "picture perfect" marriage, but soon learns that all marriages don't end in a happily ever after.  In Season 2 we will be introduced to Raquel, played by Denise Vasi, a sophisticated business woman who is coming into her own and is calling the shots.

Single Ladies is a modern, sexy series set in the middle of Atlanta's fashion, music and celebrity scene that explores differences in which women approach relationships today.

Take a look at the sneak peek of what's to come.  And make sure you tune in for the season premiere on Monday, May 28, 2012 @ 9pm ET/PT on Vh1.  Oh and don't forget your cocktail...we're sure you'll need it!

Dirty Martini | Queen Latifah performs at 2012 Long Beach Pride event

All hail to the queen...Queen Latifah that is.  Latifah (AKA Dana Owens) jammed to a packed audience at the 2012 Long Beach Pride Event.  Some media outlets are saying that Latifah, whose romantic life has always been a mystery that the singer/producer/actress "outed" herself when she  told the crowd of about 1,000 people "Y'all my peeps, I love you!, referring to the LGBT community.  Not sure how one can deduce from that statement that Latifah "outed" herself, but if there is one thing that I can say for sure is that whether straight or gay, the Queen showed us why she still reigns supreme as one of the most talented artist of our generation.

All hail to the Queen...Latifah that is!

Hot Topics | Baby put in washer at New Jersey laundromat

As a mom of three beautiful children it is my job to protect them as best I can, from the outside world and now it seems that I also have to protect them against dumb a@# babysitters.  Now I know people have and will do some dumb things out there, but putting a baby in a washer at the laundromat...well this is about as dumb as they get.  What makes this story even worse is that apparently the prosecutor in Camden County,  New Jersey, doesn't even consider what they did a crime.

"This was not an intelligent choice to put the baby in the washing machine, but it was not a crime."

                                                                    -Prosecutor's office spokesman Jason Laughlin.

Ummmm hello, can anyone say child endangerment?  I wonder what the prosecutor would have done if it were his/her child.


If this was your child, what would you do?

Dirty Martini | Confessions

Somebody needs a shave!

Mr. Raymond (Usher that is)  has gotten himself into a little thing called a custody battle with his ex and they are playing all the durty durty out in court.  Below are court reporters notes from the, well let's call it event of Raymond VS. Raymond.  Notes in RED provided by MOI.

=======================================================================

Usher showed up at Tameka's house with his girlfriend Grace Miguel.

Tameka started hitting him, throwing food and spitting at his girlfriend. (Basically going HAM)

Tameka approached him and Grace and "wanted to fight." He said that Tameka walked up to the car and said, "I'm gonna kick your a@!. B_____ get out of the car. How dare you bring this woman into my subdivision in my house?" 
 
He added, "She continued to spit.  At this point she pulled the door open, tried to swing at her." <-----WOW

=======================================================================

Okay kiddies, that's enough, let's remember your babies are watching what ya'll do.  Ush you shoulda listened to your Mama on this one.  Sometimes we really do know what's best.  For now I'd say don't take your boo-thang over to Tameka's its obvious she don't play that!
