A LESSON FOR THE CRYING
A lot of black women are in an uproar over black, famous rich men dating women who are not black. From splashy magazine covers (Essence) to popular reality shows ('Kendra'), biracial dating seems to be more than just a trend. There's a new book called 'Don't Bring Home a White Boy' hitting shelves soon, where attorney and writer Yolanda Young urges black women to take some tips from Kim and Khloe Kardashian and date outside of their race. As many know, the two half-Armenian TV personalities have nailed down two successful and wealthy black athletes: New Orleans Saints Superbowl winner Reggie Bush and Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom, respectively. Young says that instead of hating, people should look at how the Kardashian sisters have "advanced the careers of their boyfriends." She suggests that black women should focus their attention on "those who appreciate it," whether black or otherwise. Interesting... [Huffington Post]

FILLING UP ON MILK
Jennifer Hudson recently shot a Got Milk? ad. The Oscar and Grammy winner's new ad reads: "Center stage, silver screen, joyful new mom. How do I keep this show on the road? Milk. Its wholesome goodness helps make my family strong at every stage. Talk about a powerful performance." The Chicago native is psyched that her new ad hits magazines during Black History Month. "I feel like if I'm going to lead somebody in the right direction it might be in the right direction of health with milk, right?," she said. Maybe she should get her fiance David Otunga to have some milk, too. He's bulked up for his WWF debut. It's sure to help him with a long future in wrestling. [StyleList.com]

WHOA T.O.
One of the sexiest men in the NFL seems to be crying out for more attention. Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens already stripped down to his birthday suit to launch his VH1 reality show last year. Now, he seems to be getting all gussied up for the fashion scene.
On Feb. 17, the Alabama born stud hit the runway during New York's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Looking like a cross between Eddie Murphy as James Brown (on vintage 'Saturday Night Live') and Ben Stiller as 'Zoolander' – the world's first white male supermodel, Owens strutted his stuff at the A*Muse Fashion Show at Amnesia NYC.

ON THE COMEBACK TRAIL
Chris Brown is on the right track, according to his Richmond, Va., judge. The pop star reported back to court to discuss how much community service he's completed so far.
Right now, the 'Crawl' singer has done 32 of the mandated 180 days of work, as well as attended a majority of his domestic violence classes. Judge Schnegg said, "Looks like you're doing really, really, well," before approving Brown's plans to travel abroad. Go Chris. [YBF]

WILD CHILD
He's been to hell and back. And 'Diff'rent Stokes' star Gary Coleman seems to still be dancing with the devil. In one of the wildest viral videos that ever circulated on the web, the pint-sized former child star took no tea for the fever when he appeared on the TV show, 'The Insider,' last week.
Watch what happens when Coleman talks for the first time about his now infamous mug shot. He discusses his recent time in jail and answers the question of what led him there. The panel asks "WHAT HAPPENED GARY??" And boy oh boy did he have some choice words for them.

The writer Yolanda Young has it seriously wrong!!! So black woman is hating on these two self made tramps,we're just calling it the way we see it. Black women are not hating we are sitting in amazement how high the standard black men sats for the black woman.But when it comes to being with a white woman they lower the bar till its nonexistent. So dont get it twisted what you call hating is actually digust!!!! These two women are the bottom of the barrel...no education, no training but gets paid to sell sex and in Kim case gets paid to be a whore. WHat man with standard would want a woman who if they had kids together their kids would be able to got on the internet and see how mommy performs in bed!!!!! The author says they have advanced the careers of their men???? Hello! you really have it twisted/these two whores have rode and are riding their men gravy trains. Why the hell you think they got with them in the first place!!! Take a lesson from them no i will pass thank you..tramps cant teach ladies how to act. Besides there are so many strong intelligent beautiful who can teach better lessons.

KHOLE KARDASHIAN STATED ON THE GEORGE LOPEZ SHOW THAT LAMAR ODOM EATS A LOT OF CANDY AND EVEN FALLS ASLEEP WITH CANDY IN HIS MOUTH. I BELIEVE KHOLE SAID SHE HAS AWAKEN TO CANDY STUCK TO HER BACK. THAT'S JUST NASTY. WHAT WOMAN WOULD WANT TO BE WITH AN OVERGROWN CHILD? APPARENTLY THAT'S WHAT LAMAR ODOM IS.
AS FOR KIM KARDASHIAN; SHE MADE THE SEX TAPE WITH RAY J. RAY J HAS NO TALENT OUTSIDE OF WHORING AROUND. KIM NEEDS REGGIE TO HELP HER IMAGE. KIM IS A LOT OLDER THAN REGGIE AND IT APPEARS THAT SHE TRIES TO CONTROL HIM...BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT REGGIE BUSH'S MOTHER IS INVOLVED IN HIS DECISION MAKING AND I HAVE A STRANGE FEELING THAT REGGIE IS NOT GOING TO MARRY KIM.
REGGIE DOESN'T NEED KIM...BUT KIM NEEDS REGGIE. KIM KNOWS THAT IF SHE DOESN'T MARRY REGGIE SHE WILL BE WRITTEN OFF AS A SLUT WITH HER MAIN CLAIM TO FAME BEING THE RAY J SEX TAPE.

THANK YOU MURDOCK!!! THANK YOU!!! Yolanda Young must have lost her "cotton-pickin'" mind!!! Take tips from Kim and Khloe? Yolanda may be an attorney but she obviously has no self-esteem or self-respect. Their claim to fame is whoring. Nothing more...nothing less. Where are our morals? There is too much reality TV and people have lost all of their morals and common sense.

I totally agree with you. Those two women were first bred to find dumb athletes who think with their penis and not with their GOD-given brains. Their is nothing we as black women can learn from them but how to disrespect ourselves.

Foremost get your facts straight. Armenian people are not white, they are people of color. I suggest you look up O.J. Simpon's lawyer who is Robert Kardashian. Then do some readying about Armenian people and their culture. For your knowledge they are people of color so if you are so caught up in what Yolanda Young is trying to open up your mind to, maybe your brain mass would expand. Stop being an ignorant person it shows that you do not know the extinct of what it means to be a person of color. Stupid is as Stupid does and people like you will always be a laughing joke. That's why I am pretty sure older African Americans who actually understand what it means to be a person of color are laughing at people like you of my generation because you will never understand. PS: And your color has nothing to do with it, your mind does. That's why people of you will always be a laughing joke.Go think on that.

I don't agree with Gary Coleman's behavior on the air, however, the interviewer was clearly in attack mode when she questioned him about his relationship with his wife. She was judgemental, and accusitory. It is not her position to show her disapproval of his actions, but simply to ask the questions and get the answers. Her skills as a interviewer should be called into question. It was supposed to be an interview, but she turned it into a prosecution session. I just wish Mr. Coleman would have handled the situation better, by simply taking off his mike and walking off without the vulgar statements, making her look like the fool, instead of giving the media another reason to call him crazy.

You are so right! It bothers me that the whites seem to put any Black that are going through trauma on the stand when interviewing. A try to provoke what they are allenging we did or didnot do. Lisa Bloom interrogated Gary. Just wish he told her to get off his back and answered the question. Then state..Im not answering any more pretaining to the matter.

I's amazing how one person can say what black women think about the Kardashians and who they married. I am sure that none of us are losing sleep over two men. There a plenty of black men or men in the world for that matter than to fret over who these women are sleeping with.

Thank you Janet! You couldn't have said it better! I could care less about Reggie or Lamar. I don't waste any sleep or time on wondering why the black men that are with women outside their race isn't with me or any other black woman. I focus on me and who is attracted to me. If that is who they want and they like it then baby I love it!
