Image

Ya’ll know I LOVE me some Mary Mary right? Well I was surprised to hear that our girl Tina Campbell of the Gospel duo Mary Mary tried to stab her husband not once, but several times after she found out that he cheated on her!

Yes its true, Tina spilled the tea in Ebony Magazine‘s June 2013 issue…

 “Once I became aware [of the affair], I initially wanted to kill my husband,” she admitted. “I was considering adjusting the will, the living trust and all that kind of stuff.”

But Tina revealed that she almost took just a step further. “I did physically try to stab him. Several times,” Tina said. “I never got to the point of physical harm, not really, but my words…My words hurt.” “Once I became aware [of the affair], I initially wanted to kill my husband,” she admitted. “I was considering adjusting the will, the living trust and all that kind of stuff.”

Ms. Jill & Jett Cover Ebony Magazine May 2013 Issue

jillnjett

 

Love the COVER, not so sure about the message… As you can see Ms. Jill (Jill Scott) and her son have been featured on Ebony Magazines May 2013 Cover with the tagline “Saving Our Sons” In the article Ms. Jill is quoted as she discussed single Parenthood raising a son and the joys of being a Mother.

she lost me a little bit when she began discuss how it takes a village to raise a child… She mentioned several female roles in families but neglected to mention any males. Now, I don’t know what the relationship is with Jett’s father (drummer lil John Roberts) but I can’t help but notice that she made no mention of a father or any male role models…

“You cannot do it all by yourself… You need a village: some Aunties, Grand moms,  friends. I couldn’t do this by myself and i would be a fool to think I could.”

It could mean nothing… Ijs

Pick up the issue and let me know what you think!

Velvet d’Amour Talks Being Overweight In Today’s Society

velvet d"amour

 

An article from AnyBody interviewing Velvet d’Amour talking about overweight people in society. Well said, darling.

“The reality is, yes there’s more and more fat people. But you have to look at why there’s more and more fat people. And my perception is that the majority of fat people, I certainly, and speaking for myself, don’t get that way just because they feel like kicking back and weighing a couple of hundred pounds for the fun of it. They get that way because they’re striving for a beauty ideal that is incredibly inaccessible. And the more they make that beauty ideal inaccessible, the more people are going to diet. And what is the industry that is paid the most money, that has the highest failure rate? It’s the diet industry. Ninety eight percent of people who diet, gain the weight back and more. And that’s where the vicious cycle is begun. It’s not because people are saying, ‘Oh I want to celebrate my fatness’.

I’ve never said it’s, like, healthy to be fat or you should try to be fat. But I very much understand what people, and women in particular, go through to try to achieve the inaccessible. That’s why my whole goal is to diversify peoples’ notions of beauty. Not to say we should celebrate necessarily fatness. It’s to say, celebrate who we are. Because if you love yourself as a fat person, then you are far more apt to take yourself to a swimming pool. If you feel good about yourself, then you’re more apt to take care of yourself. I’m sure even people your size take issue with swimsuit season. How many articles have we seen, where… ‘OMG, it’s swimsuit season, I’ve got to go to the beach, I’ve got to lose 5 lbs’? Well imagine when you weigh 300lbs – and probably the best exercise and the only exercise you should do is to go swimming. Go take yourself to a swimming pool. I mean I’ve been called a whale at a swimming pool. I’m very confident in my body and I know that I’m not going to stop myself from getting exercise by virtue of someone putting me down. But I know that there are tonnes of women who would never go back to that swimming pool. And so if you maintain this prejudice that’s so blatant towards fat people, if the real goal is for everyone to be healthy, then certainly you’re not going to get that way by maintaining this exclusion of fat people who do exist in society.”

 

Well said!
