Rihanna

Celebrities love to have their faces splashed on every paper, magazine and TV show, its the nature of the business and proves whether you are hot property or not, if your not making the paper's your not making paper...SIMPLE! Unfortunately, the story being positive or negative is neither here or there, if it's going to sell its going to print.

The recent altercation between Chris Brown and Rihanna has sent the media into a frenzy as no one can believe 'CHRIHANNA' has come to this. The couple of the moment, the one's were all watching, the two who's songs we can't help singing have got themselves into some dark territory with this one. For me if any story was going to come out about them I would have though it would have been a cheating scandal, pregnancy scare etc etc but physical violence was not picked up on my radar.

I love me some Rihanna, her style, her songs, HER HAIR and the fact that she's from the Caribbean and not Hollywood. I even liked the fact she was with CB, they are both so young and both at the top of their game, I know like me you all enjoyed being on celeb watch, looking out for the two of them at all the star studded events....IS IT OVER???? We hope not.

I put this question out to you reader's....Is there ever a time when you can justify a man beating a woman? Please comment I'd love to get different opinions on this one and see what we come up with. My answer is NO, but then if the woman was mistreating and abusing their child or she gave him HIV then maybe she would deserve a BEATDOWN! I don't know, violence has never solved anything yet and normally only adds to the problem...SADTIMES...Get well soon RiRi.





Let's see what you think....

Coleen's Real Women

Be sure to check out the new series of Coleen's Real Women ITV2 Tuesday's at 9pm. I really enjoyed the last one, so I'm looking forward to the next few weeks of fashion, beauty and photoshoots from a real woman's perspective. Great viewing!

L.I.F.E

My darling Diva Nicole will alway's end a dramatic story with the phrase L.I.F.E. because I guess it sums everything up. You lose your job...L.I.F.E, you crash your car...L.I.F.E, you turn up at a party and someone is wearing the same dress...L.I.F.E and we could go on and on.

We were all just born, we didn't know what family we would be born into whether it be a rich family that has never known poverty in all its 12 generations and every little girl gets a horse for their 11th birthday or whether you would be born into a family of crackheads that don't even remember your name let alone your birthday!!! How unfair. I bet we all have friends who spend their whole lives saying if only I had money, if only I had a car, if only I had a man, if only I had a daddy at home....I say if only you would stop allowing yourself to be your biggest obstacle, if only you could get yourself out of the way and survey the big wide world that is around you!

Diva's look at life in all its glory and shout 'I CAN BE WHO I WANT TO BE'!!!
Check list:
  1. You are alive...no dead Diva can fulfill any dream.

  2. You have your health, physical and mental.

  3. You have the world at your finger tips via the web.

  4. Leave fear behind.

  5. Don't care about people seeing you fail..(at least your trying)

  6. Be your own marker...COMPARE YOURSELF TO NOONE.

  7. Be realistic and prepared to work hard.

I write this not only to inspire you, but also myself. How many things have you started and then shelved out of fear, frustration and lack of belief.

Let's make a pact:

  1. To Go for it.
  2. Support our fellow Diva's.

  3. Fulfil our God given potential.

CAN WE DO IT?...............YES WE CAN!........................






Its a WEAVE!

When I have a weave I am always comfortable in admiting that yes my hairstlyle has been purchased by me but does not infact genetically belong to me!...In India for every 10 bald chicks there are at least 4 black chicks somewhere in the world WORKING IT!!! (on their behalf)



Some folks, however are on a mission to conceal the truth by any means necessary, they will tell you their grand father was white or their Mum is half Indian...Why lie girlfriend????

I absolutely love me some weave...the instant glamour, it gives you is second to none...you can go from NAPPY to HAPPY in just a few hours without the need for any surgery or medication, its a winner everytime!

What I dont like is the storm before the calm, the period when your hoping that everyone in the salon goes blind so they don't see your crusty, nappy, flaking, scratching, shedding, knotting, splitting, peeling HEAD!!! You all know what i'm talking about...you've been itching that head for two weeks and now you think you can pull that hat off in the salon and expect people not to flare their nostrils in horror!!??!!


Top Tips...


  1. Choose an experienced/qualified weave technician...If you both cannot speak english at the same level I say ABORT MISSION!

  2. Remember choose the CORRECT colour, take along a friend/sister you can trust...Just because it suits Beyonce and Tyra does not mean it will suit you...OKAY! We have gone through this already guys...(read previous D.A blogs)

  3. Don't keep a weave longer than 3 months! If your weave is moving when your not...you may have an infestation problem...Take off and wash your hair immediately!

Well enough already! Do your thing...just do it well...or your pic may just end up as a warning pic on this blog...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

(better hide some of my pics then!!!)

Hey Diva's..

Yours truly had the privilege of being invited to attend the premiere screening of BET'S a Celebration of Gospel at the Odeon Leicester Square today with G. All the movers and shakers of the British gospel scene were there, including JAHAZIEL, ROGER SAMUELS and the main man of the moment MUYIWA who put on a fantastic live set to end the afternoon' s festivities...what a treat! Talking of treats we were served up a delicious buffet of carribbean cuisine by top London caterers 'CUMMIN' UP'... trust me peeps I got my eat on!

Steve Harvey was the host of the show filmed late January in HOLLYWOOD and he was hilarious! His jokes about OBAMA had us in the ODEON rolling in our seats...! I recommend watching out for the following performances...Mary Mary with their new single 'GET UP' and later on in the show when they duet with the Lip Licking king himself LL Cool J who throws money into the crowd..check out the scramble for the cash, we will excuse the classlessness after all we are experiencing a global recession! Kirk Franklin rocked the show with his track 'LITTLE BOY' and Vickie Winans had us all remembering what a faithful God we serve.

As we all know BET International launched about a year ago in the UK and it has been a triumphant success reaching 1.5 million individuals and is ranked as the leading television brand among black households aged 16-44. (source: BARB 2008). We need to promote and advertise the brand as it is THE station that represents US and OUR issues with US at heart, Glenn Yearwood and his team are doing a great job.

And why is MUYIWA and RIVERSONGZ the group of the moment?...well they made history by being the first BRITISH act to ever appear on 'Celebration of Gospel' After many hopefuls they were personally handpicked to represent the UK...we at D.A salute you Muyiwa! And a shout out to my girl ESTHER who is one of his backing singers check her out at www.myspace.com/estheradeyemi she said LA was an amazing experience and is looking forward to releasing her first single next month...YOU GO GIRL!!!

ALSO! Look out for 106 & Park presents: GOSPEL GENERATION (which launched last month) with hosts Angel Taylor from TRIN-I-TEE 5:7 and Jorel Quinn from 21:03, the show is a weekly spin off of the well known 106 & Park but instead will feature, the hottest music videos and celebrity guests making waves on the Gospel circuit, look out for Choir battles, TYE'S (tribbet's) TIDBITS and much, much more!

Well Diva's I must now put my feet up, walking around Leicester Square in 4" heels will mash a girl up! Until the next exclusive... Ciao! x
