the curse of the reality tv show

Rewind back about a year ago... i was one of those people who hated all reality shows, no matter the topic or the cahracters/cast.

fast-forward to present day, and i am now an avid fan of ;pve & hip hop, basketball wives, basketball wives la and the braxton family values. my next target is : the real housewives of atalnta.

at first it was only love & hip hop that i watched, at the recommendation of my older sister. before that i'd been a fan of several shows including flavor of love anf big brother.

with love & hip hop, i found it interestng mostly because of emily bustamante story about her realtionship with fablous. eventually, the other characters (chrissy, olivia and somaya) also grew on me. along with season 2 came the introduction of yandy and kimbella. as emily was and still is my favourite character, i instantly hated kimbella and loved seeing her be punched in the face by chrissy. as the series continued and people claimed that kimbella was growing on them, i still found her and her mannerisms annoying and found it amusing when she got into it with erica mena. the season ended on a sour note for kimbella, what with karma being a bitch and all. she's pregnant again to some irrelevant rapper who cheats on her. better luck next time hun.

follwing the end of love & hip hop season two, i felt at a loss and my friend was trying to coerce me into watching bad girls club, which didn't sound like it would be my type of show, so i opted for bnasketball wives instead. i instantly fell in love with evelyn lozada (no homo) and thought she was the best person in the whole cast. jennifer williams is irritating. she talks like an airhead and she blatantly is boojie! as much as she likes to deny it, thats what she is. she suddenly seems to think she's hot stuff and has developed a nasty attitude in season 4. not a good look! shaunie o'neal and tami roman come in joint second place for me as they're both just real bitches, who don't front and aren't phoney like jennifer. royce was okay until the season 2 reunion where she also suddenly developed an attitude. suzie needs to keep her mouth sdhut and shouldn't say things like 'i'm back in the circle' bitch you're like 35, grow up!

one weekend i went to visit a friend at her boring university and we stumbled across the braxton family values. i can hardly remember the nam,es coz there are so many t's but tamar needs to be slapped down! she is not all that, she beeter just accept that she will always live in toni's shadow and move on. but at the same time, tamar is my favourtie cast member

then came basketball wives la. my favourite cast member from here is definitely draya michele howard who apparently will not be on the second season (boo!). at first, i bought into all the rumours about her being a bad mother, a jumpoff and a hoe etc but i grew to love her. second place on the show for me was laura govan coz she was just great and talked nasty lol.. now, that jackie woman... whoo! she is nuts with a capital n.. she twisted everything people were saying, including her and made it seem like she was the good guy and the rest of them all hated each other. her conspiracy theories which she liked to call 'being psychic' lead to her predicting her own fate in hawaii. she predicted that somebody would have their ass handed to them and it ended up being her after lies and bitchiness was uncovered.

i am currently eagerly (and impatiently!) awaiting the next episode from the fourth season of basketball wives, season 3 of love & hip hop, love & hip hop atlanta and the next season of basketball wives la (hopefully with draya on it!)

once you watch one good show, you're hooked for life and end up trying all different types

i apologise for any typo's or spelling errors as a typed this really fast :)

"I'm Happy in America" says Estelle

British native R&B singer Estelle moved to the States a few years back, to work on her second album 'Shine', and is now saying she has no idea when or if she will ever return to the UK permanently. Despite feeling settled in the US, she says she still misses her family and friends, she feels happier and more comfortable making her mark in the music industry over there.

'I have been over there for almost five years now,' Estelle shared. 'People always ask me, 'When are you coming back?' And I am like, 'Well I am signed out there so I don't know.''

Her decision to relocate to America has benefited her in many ways. she's not only collaborated with some big name artists but she has also won awards for her efforts, finally achieving the recognition she deserves.

"'I do come over and back, I just don't announce it to the world that I am back. I come back to see my family and just chill,' she added. 'I miss Ribena and shopping is different over here, you know"

Friends, Family and Money

I haven't blogged for a while, and though it's time that i got back to business.

the thing that is really grinding my gears right about now, is that four different people owe me money, totalling £159. anyone who knows me will know that im not some millionaire; i work hard for the very little that i have, but some people dont appreciate that fact.

some seem to think money grows on trees, or that those of us who work have unlimited money. well lemme tell you - we dont!!!

the funniest thing is, one of the people who owe me money is constantly bragging that her dad is a doctor and he'll pay for anything, but when you needed money, did he give it to you? no! you had to come to me. to make matters worse, she threw herself an 18th birthday party, costing god knows what, but stll hasn't given me my assclart money!!

i just had to let this rage out of me, coz i am feeling to cuss right about now.

Is Daddy To Blame?

as time has been going on, i've noticed that a lot of females seem to have trust issues when it comes to men.

now most of them blame it on their own experiences with men, but is it possible that they are basing it upon the fact that their own father was an unreliable, untrustworhy male?


some females are so scared to open up to men, that they push them away or are already expecting them to fail and break their trust. the lack of a father (if that is the situation)in a female's life definitely affects the sort of relationships she has in the future

they say that women tend to marry a man who is exactly like their father, so does that mean that some women will marry (or shack up with) an unreliable man who fucks and ducks them, doesnt care for their children and doesn't support them? i'm afraid that for some people this is the case, but then again, we can also place the blame on the mothers of today.

i know a girl whose mother had her first child when she was 14; by the time this girl was 15, she had already had sex with about 6/7 different guys in the space of about a year...

i think if you grow up around the wrong influences, you follow/copy the behaviour that you are shown from a young age

the same goes for kids who see their mother being abuse both physically or mentally by their fathers. the boys go on to do the same to their women, and the girls grow up thinking its ok for a guy to abuse them...

in my eyes, all the issues go back to the parents - parents need to learn to censor themselves around their children and need to show them the correct examples for what kind of behaviour is acceptable in the future.

personally, i think my perceptions of men and relationships have been affected by what i've seen between my parents.

i know that if/when i get married, i will definitely not be waiting on my husband like some kinda slave, and i wont be involving any kids i might have in our arguments.

i might seem like a man-basher, but i'm really not. i just talk about what i see

Why Is Every Bitch Bisexual These Days?

For the past few years, more and more girls have been claiming to be 'bisexual'. The craze seemed to start when Nicki Minaj was beginning her rap career. I don't know much of her old stuff, but she supposedly used to talk quite openly about being bisexual etc....

This obviously gassed a few girls up, especially with celebrity gossip sites like Mediatakeout contstantly claiming that people such as Rihanna & Cassie were bisexual (at one point they were claiming Nicki Minaj & Cassie were having a three-way love affair with Diddy -_-)

Nicki has stated in interviews that she is not bisexual!! She might talk like she is in some of her songs, but that's obviously just so that people notice her and keep her name in their mouths. The bad thing about this whole situation is that these celebs are gassing up these senseless little girls' heads and making them think it's 'cool' to be bisexual.

I personally have no problem with females who like females, and I can appreciate a beautiful woman but that doesn't mean that I am a lesbian or bisexual.

As far I am concerned, this whole fake bisexuality thing needs to stop, so that those females or males who feel that they actually are bisexual will be able to have someone to talk to, and get some serious advice

Give it up bitches!

"Mean Girls" / Girls Aren't The Only Bitches

The official stereotype is that girls are all bitches who secretly can't stand each other - thanks to movies like Mean Girls.

As a girl, I can say that unfortunately, this is true in some cases. In school, there were people I pretended to like, but it was because I didnt want to have to deal with them starting a conflict. These girls were the kind of people that would suddenly hate you one day, and be your best friend the next. So it was best for everyone for me to pretend that I was cool with them. As soon as school was done, we no longer spoke (thank God)

But funnily enough, I never really saw the white and asian girls having fights among themselves; it always seemed to be the black girls. I think that's what it is, black girls just don't know how to be cool with each other with no conflicts, they always have to have a reason to hate someone or to make one single person feel like shit.

I remember times when they would choose who to single out, but I was usually the victim. There was a point where I had about two friends in the entire school. But the joke is, the whole thing started with just two of the girls, then one by one they all decided to stop talking to me.

When this happened, it taught me that I can't trust anybody except myself, especially when it comes to females.

So for about 6 months, I kept myself to myself and stayed away from the bitches. Then all of a sudden, the original two who started the whole thing decided they wanted to be my friends again.

That year I spent my birthday with four people.

At the beginning of the next school year, they were all talking to me again, as if they had never done anything. This is why I am now cautious about the friends I make.


I'm sure there are people who think that boys don't act bitchily, but I know they do - I've seen the behaviour with my own two eyes. Boys' bitchiness is just more sly, they do it in ways you wouldn't realise - like excluding someone from a football game, or not bringing them in on the latest batch of pussy.

But then when it comes down to it, boys are more likely to be honest about their bitchiness - they don't care who knows, its like they're challenging the other person to a fight, coz a "real badman don't need to front"

The one similarity between male bitchiness and female bitchiness is that one day two people can be enemies, the next you'll see them walking around together like best buds again. For example, one day I was walking out of school, and there was an older girl walking nearby, talking about how much she 'hated' a girl in my year. The next day, I saw her holding hands with the girl -_-

Whatever Happened to the 90's?

Remember the good days of Nickelodeon & the Cartoon Network? When we used to run home to watch programmes like these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at2H82h7bDU&feature=related

Then we would spend the next day at school discussing what we had watched on TV the night before... Those were the days!


Now we have crap on our kids channels like iCarly (what the fuck is that about)& the Naked Brothers Band *rolls eyes* Even the their titles dont have the same pizazz as they did back in the days; its like a bunch of TV channel executives got together and came up with the stupidest names for programmes they could think of, then filled their plot lines with utter BULLSHIT!

This is probably the reason for all these little kids running around having sex before their time; they aint got anything better to do, so they might as well give each other hand jobs :)

Even music has changed drastically - we went from having groups like S Club 7 singing about parties and stuff that actually made sense to little kids, to people like Nicki Minaj (no offence to her hardcore fans) singing/rapping about putting her pussy on someone's sideburns -_-

Standards of 'talent' have severely dropped as well; up until about 2005, the majority of SOLO singers were actually talented (obviously if they were in a group then the crap vocals were hidden by the good ones); then people like Rebecca Black, Cheryl Cole and Justin Bieber are suddenly getting signed and becoming superstars and they aint even all that!

Cheryl Cole's voice is mediocre, she only made it this far with her solo career coz she's got the hookup's
Justin Bieber has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to deserve having an autobiographical movie -_-
As for Rebecca Black..... She can just go and sit underneath a rock!
