BOW WOW Is The Hot Sauce!!!

I don't usually post on the weekends unless I just feel the urge and I know all the other blogs are doing the Chris and Rihanna thang but I have to post this because I'm a huge Bow Wow fan for many reasons. I'm loving You Can Have It All right now, especially because of the TLC throwback, however, I downloaded the Half Man, Half Dog Vol. 2 earlier today, my girls came over we had drinks and danced hard to that shit for the past three hours. I mean over and over we played it. We had a Mile High shake off in my living room, asses bouncing every where. I know I'm not the rap aficionado but I love to dance and anything that can make me dance that hard and sweat that much is a good thang. I still don't get why people hate on Bow Wow so much and why people don't give him his props. He has lasted longer than any child star I know of, I mean he has been in the game continuously non-stop. If anyone can name one child star who has done that I will gladly turn in my TEAM BOW WOW T-shirt right now!

Happy Friday!!!!

The HOT SAUCE that is Megan Fox is back on the market, Happy Friday!!!!

Don't Forget Your Black History!!!!!

Hattie McDaniel (June 10, 1895 – October 26, 1952) was an actress and the first black performer to win an Academy Award. She won the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role of Mammy in Gone With The Wind.

Another Singer Strips Down

Former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard is pulling a Ciara. She went naked for a magazine spread. I just don't condone this, I love Dawn and she is very talented and I think that if you have talent you don't have to result to taking your clothes off. If these young ladies feel comfortable doing this than more power to them but this is not the message you want to be sending to little girls that look up to you, I'm just saying.

Octomom Offered Some Serious Cash

Apparently Octomom was offered seven figures to do a porno. Who the hell would want to see her naked??? This is crazy stuff, the whole situation in crazy, but I hope someone steps up and donates these kids some stuff because this woman can't take care of all those kids. I know people are saying that she shouldn't receive any help because she is irresponsible but those babies didn't ask to be here so do it for the kids!!

Did TMZ Cross The Line????

I think it is absolutely disrespectful to Rihanna for TMZ to place those photos online and now every site and their mama are posting the pictures. Hasn't the poor girl been through enough, we all know some of what happened and it is never okay for a man to hit a woman so why post the pictures, it is humiliating enough to even be going through the situation. Shame, shame, shame and that's all I'm going to say about that!!!!

Chris Brown Speaks

Chris Brown released a statement to People.com and as expected he is limited as to what he can comment about. It is a very hard situation to grow up around abuse and if you have never been in the situation you don't know how it will affect you and there has obviously been abuse in both families as past interviews of Rihanna and Chris have shown. We here at Nina Monroe Says ask that everyone just pray for both Rihanna and Chris during this very difficult time.

Happy Friday!!

Have a fun but safe weekend. Happy Friday and Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Do You Know Your Black History??

Medgar Evers (1925-1963), was the field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). He was also a civil/human rights activist, his death prompted President John Kennedy to ask Congress for a comprehensive civil-rights bill, which President Lyndon Johnson signed into law the following year. Mr. Evers was one of the first major civil rights leaders to be assassinated. He was only 37 years old when he was shot and killed in the driveway of his home.

Do You Know Your Black History??

Thurgood Marshall (July 2, 1908 – January 24, 1993) was the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. Before becoming a judge, he was a lawyer who was best remembered for his high success rate in arguing before the Supreme Court and for the victory in Brown v. Board of Education. He was nominated to the court by President Lyndon Johnson in 1967.

Best Wishes

We just want to take the time to send our best wishes to Rihanna and Chris, we are not going to speculate on what happened but we hope it works out for both parties involved. A little side note, there is never ever a reason for a man to put his hands on a woman. With that said we hope that they both get through this ordeal.

We also want to send best wishes to Tameka Foster-Raymond, she suffered complications during plastic surgery in Brazil. We hope she recovers and we send our love and prayers to the Raymond family.

Congratulations To All Grammy Winners!

Do You Know Your Black History??

Via The Black Inventor Online Museum:

Benjamin Bradley was born around 1830 as a slave in Maryland. He was able to read and write, although at the time it was illegal for a slave to do so (he likely learned from the Master's children). He was put to work in a printing office and at the age of 16 began working with scrap he found, modeling it into a small ship. Eventually, with an intuitiveness that seemed far beyond him, he improved on his creation until he had built a working steam engine, made from a piece of a gun-barrel, pewter, pieces of round steel and some nearby junk. Those around him were so astounded by his high level of intelligence that he was placed in a new job, this time at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

In his new position he served as a classroom assistant in the science department. He helped to set up and conduct experiments, working with chemical gases. He was very good at his work, impressing the professors with his understanding of the subject matter and also with his preparedness in readying the experiments. In addition to the praise he received, he also received a salary, most of which went to his Master, but some of which (about $5.00 per month) he was able to keep.

Despite enjoying his job with the Naval Academy, Bradley had not forgotten his steam engine creation. He used the money he had been able to save from his job as well as the proceeds of the sale of his original engine (to a Naval Academy student) to build a larger model. Eventually he was able to finish an engine large enough to drive the first steam-powered warship at 16 knots. At the time, because he was a slave, he was unable to secure a patent for his engine. His master did, however, allow him to sell the engine and he used that money to purchase his freedom.

The Steelers Are Going To Disneyland!!

Bad Press For Michael Phelps

8 time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps received some bad press when a picture of him hitting a bong surfaced on Sunday. He is definitely going to lose some endorsements behind this but Mazda, Omega and Speedo are sticking by Phelps for now.

You see how those haters do you when you are on top, Michael should know better than to do that ish in public, whether he likes it or not he is famous now. Not that I condone his behavior but Michael keep your ish behind close doors, by yourself in the privacy of your own home. You are a role model and for goodness sake don't jeopardize that money baby!

Congratulations Erika Badu!

Erika Badu gave birth to a baby girl on Sunday, congrats to her. Loves loves loves Erika Badu!
