Serena Williams going to Beauty School
Serena Williams going to Beauty School
I was so impressed when I read this story in a recent issue of Jet magazine. Apparently Serena Williams is enrolled in a 240 hour program to become a nail technician in West Palm Springs, FL. She has plans to launch her own nail care collection with Nail Tech, the same company responsible for pushing ”the best hair extensions”, with Paris Hilton.
“Don’t be surprised if you hear about a part-time job I’ve picked up at a local nail salon,” she wrote on a recent blog for Global Grind.
We all know that Serena is no stranger to stepping outside the box and taking the lead. In 2004 Serena launched her own fashion line, cleverly named Aneres (Serena spelled backward) which caught worldwide attention. In August 2009, Serena and sister Venus made history when they became part owners of the Miami Dolphins, making them the first African American women to own part of an NFL franchise.
It’s so refreshing to see a celebrity really getting into what they are selling. A lot of the time you see celebrities putting their names and faces on products that they either know nothing about or just don’t care about. It’s obvious that Serena is in this for more than just money. Kudos to her for being humble and taking it a step further.
Sooo…Would you let Serena Williams do your nails? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
“I’m Back” by T.I.
“I’m Back” by T.I.
After spending 7 months in prison for illegal possession of firearms, rapper T.I. is back with his first single “I’m Back” produced by TrackSlayerz. Like everyone else I have been quietly anticipating the return of The King of The South and this new single has proven to be worth the wait. T.I. is definitely back and giving his fans exactly what we have been missing. On the track he takes shots at other artist saying “My desire to retire grow wit every new coupe, cause these guys just don’t ride like my n-ggas used to, tight jeans, funny hair, cuz dancing on the screen, it’s some ballerina n-ggas in the game so it seems.” He also shouts out fellow rappers, spitting ” n-gga probably just seen Wayne, Gucci Mane, Me and Boosie all go to prison, now he flip his whole image… n-gga tripping.”
Regardless of what the haters have to say, T.I. is back and not playing games. After listening to that track…I forget he ever left. If you were thinking that T.I. was going to have a problem coming back….Think again!
OnFireMusic remembers the Notorious B.I.G.
OnFireMusic remembers the Notorious B.I.G.
Life is crazy. One minute your getting on the school bus for the first time, and the next minute your graduating. One minute you’re wishing you didn’t have to listen to your parents, and the next minute you’re buying your first home. Sometimes, as we look into the future, we feel like we are never going to get to where we want to be. But, the next thing you know, we’re looking back reminiscing about the days of the past.
I’m saying that to say this. 13 years is a long time, but it seems like just yesterday the Notorious B.I.G. was blessing us with his incredible music. Well, 13 years ago today, his life came to a tragic end. No need to go into detail about his death because we’ve already heard the details a million times. I’m writing this not as an informative article, but as a memorial to one of the greatest emcees of all time. One of the few hip hop icons to ever have a high budget motion picture dedicated to their life. One of the few deceased celebrities that are still thought of and spoken about on a daily basis.
As an artist and as a die hard hip hop fan myself, it’s hard not to appreciate the contribution that Biggie gave to the culture of hip hop. From the wordplay to the creative storytelling, to the fashion and the jewelry. To the vulnerability he showed in his hardcore rhymes, proving that gangsters have feelings too and emotions are a part of every single human beings makeup. Biggie was more than a rapper. He was a trendsetter, a father, and an inspiration to millions and will never be forgotten. 13 years? Holler back in another 13 years and I’ll bet you B.I.G.’s just as relevant then as he is today. Gone but never forgotten. Today I want everybody to at least take a minute to play some of Biggie’s music, even if you never were a big fan.
Is Brooklyn in the house? Without a doubt! And Mr. Wallace is glowing from heaven!
Actress/Comedian Mo’Nique and husband have an open relationship
Actress/Comedian Mo’Nique and husband have an open relationship
In a recent interview with Barbara Walters, oscar- nominated actress/ comedian Mo’Nique admitted to having an open relationship with husband Sidney Hicks. She insist that she has yet to have had sex outside of her marriage but she would not be upset if her husband did. She says ” Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That’s not a dealbreaker”. She adds ” What if it’s 20 times? So what?” She also goes on to tell some of the things that she does to keep her husband, which includs not shaving her legs. Wow!
First of all, I am not here to judge but I do have a right to my own opinion and…guess what? I am very opinionated. Second, I am a fan of Mo’Nique and her home life has nothing to do with her as a perfomer so at the end of day I still enjoy her and I think that she is extremely talented.
I don’t think that I will ever understand how anyone could seriously have a marriage that’s “open”. When you stand at the alter and say ” I do”, don’t you agree to love, honor and obey your spouse? Not your spouse and another person or 20 other people. What’s the point in marrying someone if you feel like there is a possibility that you may want to have sex with someone else? Maybe it’s just me…but I just don’t get it.
Now to be fair… I will say some people get married and later down the line doubt their marriage or give in temptation and cheat or have an affair. However, saying that you agree to have an “open marriage” is different. To say that you wouldn’t mind if your husband or wife cheats is a little strange too me. That doesn’t sound like a marriage to me…sounds more like friends with benefits.
I don’t know guys…this is just my opinion but I am so anxious to hear what you guys think about this. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think?
