Happy Friday People!!

Okay so it's Friday, thank goodness. If you are going to be staying in my picks for movie night are:

I was a big fan of the Transformers cartoon growing up and I loved the movie. It is not only action packed but it is funny as well and Shia is very easy on the eyes. If you have kids they may enjoy this as well, my kids love it.

If you are a fan of Tyler Perry you will like Why Did I Get Married, a question I am sure many people ask themselves from time to time. It's kind of a Dramedy but it has some laughs in it and some heart felt moments as well. It is kind of like a black version of the Big Chill only no one died, at least that is was what came to mind after watching it, not only at the movies but I have the DVD so I've watched that about five times now. I love it!

Have funny and Happy Friday, be safe, two fingers!

Naomi Was Not Invited So Who Invited Amy Winehouse?

Okay so Naomi does have anger management issues and it is probably the best thing for her not to be in attendance, but who invited the mess that is Amy Winehouse, better yet who allowed her to perform looking like that?

After being treated for a serious lung condition, Amy Winehouse takes the stage at London's Hyde Park Friday to perform at the 46664 Concert in honor of Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday.

Will & Jada Looking Good Making The Rounds!

Continuing his whirlwind of social events, a dapper Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith chatted with Chelsea Clinton Thursday at the 10th Annual White Tie and Tiara Ball, a charity event for the Elton John Aids Foundation. The bash – held as Sir Elton's Old Windsor, England, home – raised more than $15 million.

A-listers Attend Nelson Mandela’s 90th Birthday Dinner

Nelson Mandela celebrated his 90th birthday in style, hosting a private dinner party attended by celebrity A-listers and world leaders in London's Hyde Park. Too many to name (Will Smith, Bill Clinton, the list goes on) you better believe the crème de la crème were in attendance. Nelson Mandela turns 90 on July 18th.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Keep On Givin'

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $1 million to support the education of war-affected children through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict will distribute the donation to four organizations working with children who have lost parents and homes in Iraq, and children in the United States who have lost parents in the conflict will also benefit.

“These educational support programs for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal,” said Jolie, who co-chairs the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict.

“We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations,” added Pitt.

Don Cheadle And Other Celebs Ante Up For Africa

The 2008 'Ante Up For Africa' Poker Tournament at the World Series of Poker will be held on July 2 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The tournament is the brainchild of actor Don Cheadle and poker pro Annie Duke, who created the event to raise money and awareness for the crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan

Last year’s inaugural event raised more than $700,000, thanks in part to the stellar list of celebrities, athletes, and poker professionals who participated.

Confirmed to participate in this year’s event are Cheadle, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck,Adam Sandler, Ray Ramano, Charles Barkley, Jason Kidd, Kevin Pollack, Cheryl Hines, George Lopez, Joe Trohman from Fall Out Boy and more.

Carmelo Anthony Pleads Guilty

As he should, Carmelo Anthony Pleaded guilty to

charges stemming from his April DUI arrest.

According to Freep.com, Carmelo Anthony may have found reassurance that the Denver Nuggets still want him around in the most unlikely of places: the courtroom where he pleaded guilty Tuesday to a reduced charge of driving while ability-impaired.

With trade rumors swirling around the beleaguered Anthony in recent weeks, coach George Karl and Mark Warkentien, the team's vice president of basketball operations, were in the courtroom to offer their support.

Anthony was sentenced to a year's probation, 24 hours of community service and more than $1,000 in fees and court costs while prosecutors dropped a more serious DUI charge.
The sentencing capped off a bustling two days for the 24-year-old.
He was chosen for the U.S. Olympic team on Monday, only to learn he was suspended by his team for two games because of the DUI arrest.

Anthony, who signed a five-year, $80-million extension in 2006, has been the topic of trade rumors, including speculation that the Pistons were interested in acquiring him.
But he said Tuesday he expects to remain with the Nuggets for the foreseeable future.

"I hope so," he said with a grin. "I plan to be."

Being a Denver native, Ms. Nina is definitely a huge Nuggets fan and I hope the Melo man has learned his lesson. I have said it before, he is a cool dude but he is still young and still learning. Unfortunately these guys don't come into fame and fortune very well and they have to learn lessons the hard way. These pro teams really need to come up with an aggressive mentoring program for these kids coming in, so they won't have to learn the hard lessons the hard way. I hope Mr. Anthony is awake and listening because next time he might not be so lucky. Someone could have gotten hurt and he would have been looking at more than the possibility of being traded. Ms. Nina 'says put it on the court Melo and show everybody what you are really made of this season. Come on baby you need that ring right!'

BET Awards '08

I have to say that I was surprised this year because

I was glued to the set. I usually turn the channel a

few times during any awards show but this one kept

me guessing. There were some amazing performances

and then there were some that were just okay. But

overall it was a good show. Usher opened up and he

did a pretty good job, I am wondering why Ciara did

her little performance with Chris Brown. Was it for

shock value or what? Don't get me wrong CiCi is the

girl and all but the strip tease dancing is getting a little

old and she needs to step up her dance game a little bit.

She's doing the same dances over and over again from

the start of her career. No doubt the fellas loved that

performance by Ms. CiCi. I know she can step it up and

there has got to be more to being a performer than just

doing sexy dances. Thank goodness for Ms. Alicia Keys,

she brought out the old school girl groups and I loved it.

The Reverend Al Green was by far my favorite performer.

Rhianna did a good job but I would have liked to see a little

more movement in her performance, you can move around

even when you sing a slow song. But all in all everyone did

there thang and it was a pretty good show. There are

some people that had albums out this year that were

relevant and I would have loved to see them perform but

as usual BET only goes with the more commercial artist so

you don't get to see a variety of performers outside of that

box, but they do it their way and it's all good. Don't worry

if you missed it BET will re-run the heck out of it.

Jacob The Jeweler Is Going To Jail

He was arrested back in 2006 and now word is Jacob the Jeweler has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in federal prison for lying to investigators looking into a multi-state drug ring, TMZ.com reports.

"I feel ashamed that I broke the laws of this country, a country that has been so good for me," the jeweler — whose real name is Jacob Arabov — said after the sentencing. "I will carry this shame for the rest of my life."

Don't Miss The BET Awards Tonight

Make sure to catch The BET Awards '08 tonight.

Like every year there are sure to be some surprises.

Unfortunately Ms. Mo'Nique is not hosting, she is

always the highlight of the show for me. But D. L.

Hughley should do a great job as well.

New Edition Looking Good & Being Honored

New Edition was my favorite R&B group when I

was growing up. Actually they still are my favorite.

Alas, they were ASCAP Golden Note Award Honorees at

the 2008 ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Awards, which took

place last night in Los Angeles, CA. All the fellas looked

great.

RIP

With the passing of comedian George Carlin on Sunday
we take a moment of silence for all the celebs that have

Bo Diddly
Yves Saint Laurent

and many many others.

RIP to all.

Out & About Over The Weekend

Hi Babies, I'm back I have been so busy and I didn't

get to post yesterday so I am going to try to catch

you up on things that happened while I was out.

Over The Weekend Out & About

Chris Tucker and Dave Chappelle had lunch

together over the weekend, maybe discussing

plans for a movie together. That would be

one funny movie.

Jermaine & Janet were in Milan at the Versace

show for Milan Fashion Week. Jermaine has

mentioned that they are planning on having a

baby. Ms. Nina suspects Ms. Jackson may

already be with child. Congrats to them!

Vanessa and Angela Simmons were out and about

it classy while they do it. Go on girls!

Mrs. Smith & Her Babies

Jada, Jadan and Willow were at the Kitt Kittredge: An American Girl premier last night,

Willow co-stars in the movie. How precious is this, Jada with her and Will's mini-me's.

These are the cutest kids and they got swag already ain't that somethin'.

Happy Friday Movie Pick

So, I never make suggestions on movie rentals, but I think that

is something I going to start doing on Fridays, my pick for this

weekend is 'The Other Boleyn Girl'. It is a period piece set in

the 16th century about the Tudor dynasty that ruled over

England for many years, Think Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

I know everyone isn't into the period movies, but this ish is

scandalous, it's like a freakin' soap opera you'll love it.

Happy Friday, have a great but safe weekend.

What If Women Ruled Hip Hop?!

Missy Elliot recently spoke with Essence.com on the

status of females in the male dominated world of

hip hop. Her wish for females in the industry is to

keep it pushin' and maybe a tour someday.

'My goal is to have an all female hip-hop tour because

that’s never been done. I would love to see that.'

Missy is one of the few who has lasted in the industry

and she has been a refreshing presence in hip hop.

The Bid Daddy Of Golf

I had to post this picture because she is to adorable for words.

Tiger Woods beat Rocco Mediate in sudden death at the

U.S. Open. His beautiful baby girl Sam was in attendance.

BET's 106 & Park Shares Some Love

BET's 106 & Park on Wednesday to promote their movie.

are all over the Internet and boy does he look good.

Congrats To Jamie Lynn Spears!

Jamie Lynn Spears and her fiancé Casey Aldridge welcomed a baby girl

Thursday morning. The baby's name is Maddie Briann.

The Celtics Win It All!

Yes, the NBA where greatness happens, you gotta love it

and that's all there is to say.

The Lakers Take Game 5

It is a sad sad day for me. I was hoping the NBA Finals

would be over and the Celtics would be victorious, but

alas it is not so. P. Diddy and many other celebs were

in the house as the Lakers beat the Celtics in game 5

of the finals.

Lakers won the game 103 - 98, the Celtics leads the series

3-2. I believe game 6 will be on Tuesday in Boston.

Kevin Federline Father Of The Year???

Leave it to a night club.

Club Prive in Las Vegas named Kevin Federline father of

the year. Well, he is taking care of those babies since their

mama kind of checked out on them. Good luck to everyone

involved.

Beyonce Out & About

Beyonce was out & about with her husband Jay-Z on Friday.

She was looking fabulous as always. Go on girl!

R. Kelly Trail Comes To An End

According to the AP:

A total of 34 prosecution and defense witnesses have testified in R. Kelly’s child pornography trial. As the case comes to a close, someone won’t be taking the stand: The man on trial himself.
Closing arguments were set to begin Thursday without jurors having heard from the R&B singer, who on Tuesday told the judge he doesn’t plan to testify.

Kelly, 41, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he videotaped himself having sex with an underage girl. Both Kelly and the alleged victim, now 23, have denied being on the tape. The alleged victim also never testified.

Can't We All Just Go To Rehab?

Rodney King, whose beating at the hands of Los Angeles police officers sparked the city’s riots in 1992, will battle addiction on the VH1 reality show “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,” officials from the cable TV channel said on Wednesday.

He should have gone to rehab before he spent all that money he got in his lawsuit.

Telia Tequila, Is She Serious?

MTV reality queen Tila Tequila says she played a part in California recently dropping its ban on gay marriage. "It is because of me — I definitely think [my show] has helped the movement," she told Usmagazine.com at the Hollywood premiere of The Love Guru on Wednesday. "Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same sex relationships]," she said. "Then they realized, 'Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.' The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal."

Hey didn't she use to be a MySpace _______. I'll let you all fill in the blank.

WTF?!?

I'm not even going to tell you who this quote is from
because I like the person but the last sentence had me
ROTFL hard!

"A LOT of people like to fool you and say that you're not
smart if you never went to college, but common sense
rules over everything. That's what I learned from selling crack"

I was in agreement up until the part about selling crack, WTF.

Usher, Usher, Usher, Thoust Doth Protest Too Much

Usher has been doing many interviews, supposedly to

promote his album, 'Here I Stand'. Instead he is taking

the opportunity to let everyone know his situation with

his wife, his son and his mother. Ms. Nina is all good with

that. But why does he have to keep talking about the

same ish in every interview and television appearance. Is

Mr. Raymond trying to convince us or himself that he is

happy with his current situation.

In an interview with the Vibe magazine, Usher is quoted

as saying, “I’m good at making love, but I’m not good at

being in love. It’s a conscious decision every day to love

the person you’re with.”

Okay, Ms. Nina has a little advice for Usher, sweetheart

you are either in love with someone or your not, it's not

something you even have to think about.

Sorry Usher I love ya man but I have to call it how I call it.

I think you should have thought about it a little more

before you got married. Now just stop talking about it and

ride it out 'til death do you part.

Solange Is Still On The Go

Solange stop by TRL yesterday with her broken

foot in a cast. She sure is a trooper, gotta love it.

Get that money girl.

Congratulations to Timbaland!

Timbaland and his longtime girlfriend and baby mama

Monique Idlett were married in Virginia on Tuesday by

a family pastor. Congrats!

The Lakers Beat The Celtics???

There were plenty of celebs in the house for the game.

Eddie Murphy, Spike Lee, Fergie, David Beckham and

his son Brooklyn, Hugh Hefner, Kendra Wilkinson,

Kanye West and many more.

I am still upset over the loss, although I knew it would

happen. I knew the Celtics needed the win on Sunday

because there was no way the Lakers would lose game 3

at home. Come on Celtics get it together, you can do it.

Nina Monroe Says, 'Keep Your Head Up'

I feel so sorry for Brooke Hogan, she hasn't had much luck

with her singing career and now her family life is in shambles.

On top of her parents getting divorced, her brother is in jail

and now her mother, 48 year old Linda Hogan, is dating a

19 year old boy that Brooke and Nick went to school with.

It is so sad, why in the world would a 48 year old go out

with a 19 year old. This woman is crazy. Brooke has stated

that the age difference makes her uncomfortable, but what

is she going to do it's her mom. I don't care who you are,

if you have children you need to think about the things you

do and how it will affect your children. A word of advice,

now is not the time to be selfish Linda, those kids are still

young and going through hard times. Get your ish together

and find someone close to your own age not you daughters age.

Brooke sweetheart keep your head up, there is always sun

after the rain.

Price Cut For The New Apple iPhone

iPhone 3G Twice as fast. Half the price. Coming July 11.
Phone, iPod, and Internet in one fast 3G device. Starting at $199.

Do you think all the people who spent upwards of $600.00 on the original iPhone are pissed?

Bow Wow’s “Super Stuntin’ 21”

Okay, so I know there are many people who could careless

about Bow Wow, but Ms. Nina is a fan so I allotted myself

some TV time last night to watch his Super Stuntin 21,

his version of 'My Super Sweet 16' on MTV. I think it is

great that he is 21 and his mama still controls that money.

Some people may say negative things about it, but being

a mom myself and seeing how easy it is to lose everything

you have with wrong decisions, I applaud Ms. Teresa

for making sure Bow don't go crazy with that money cuz

y'all know he would. If you missed it I'm sure MTV will

air it over and over like they do everything else. Otherwise

it was just Bow Wow being Bow Wow. I love his little cock

azz, haters fall back Ms. Nina has spoken!

Is He Or Isn't He?

The self proclaimed best rapper alive, Lil Wayne, drops

his The Carter III album today. Will it live up to his

hype? Ms. Nina doesn't see what all the buzz is about.

Don't get me wrong, is he a decent rapper, yes. Can he

hold his own, yes, but to claim that title you really have

to be the best and I'm not sure that he is. But I don't

knock his hustle, do what you do baby. Besides to be

a rapper you have to believe in yourself that much, and

a little bit of cockiness never hurts in my opinion.
