Demi Moore and daughter Tallulah

Does this look like a mother and daughter duo to you? You cant help but be drawn to their almost identical figures right? Well this what good plastic surgery will do for you.

Demi is pushing 48 and her daughter is only 16.

Demi attended the Colcci fashion show to support her husband 32-year-old Ashton Kutcher. He was one of the models for the clothing line. Does anyone still remember that Ashton was on that 70's show? I sometimes forget that..

I am not mad at Demi, girlfriend looks great, her boo must be keeping her young.

Well alright Demi get your cougar on then!!

Yes, it takes a super truck to haul around Chad's ego. See for Chad, a Ford or Cadillac wouldn't do so he enlisted trucking company Freightliner to build his big wheels. How can Chad afford this car and Evelyn? Dude will reportedly stand to earn 35.5 million dollars in 6 years...that's a nice amount of change.

Chad was spotted on a date with his fiance Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada. The couple wore matching his and hers Gucci trainers...ok I have no comment.

What do you guys think?

Today flashback : Katie Couric asks "What's an internet"

Check out this clip from Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel asking" what is the internet?" To be fair this is from The Today Show circa 1994

Ahh back in the day...it's pretty hilarious to watch though

Hope you are having a fantastic Monday!

It's award season time and in recognition of this special time of the year, I am giving out my weekly award. The Sit Your A** Down Award!

This award goes to none other than Diddy for 2 special reasons:

1.For spending a millon dollars on strippers this week at Rick Ross' birthday party in Miami at King of Diamonds strip club. Really Diddy? A millie? Strippers everywhere rejoice!!

2. Secondly for attempting to call out POTUS saying "I love the president like most of us. I just want the president to do better. There's a difference between us voting for somebody and us believing in somebody. He's the person that we believed in so I pray night and day that he understands how God ordained his presidency. I feel there was a promise made to God to look after people that was less fortunate, and [many] of those people are African-American..."

Listen here Puff, Puffy Daddy, Diddy, Sean Combs...POTUS is not just the President of Black people. He represents the people of the United States i.e the entire nation..not just African American people. Obama has achieved quite a lot in his presidency and he still has a long road ahead. This racial claim is almost as ridiculous as the woman suing you for a trillion dollars for rape and terrorism. Get it together Diddy.

The Source issue with Diddy on the cover hits stands on January 25th

LaLa Vasquez of course!

Check out the perfectly coiffed hair and light makeup while still maintaining the paparazzi pose. Only in Hollywood, gotta love it!

Gweneth Paltrow is in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar UK. Check out some of the highlights from the interview.

On Beyonce, who offered Gwyneth performance advice for her role in 'Country Strong':
"Beyonce is the most talented human being on the planet. She has so much mastery over what she does. It's not even confidence - it's on a whole other level. It's mind-blowing. I watched her (perform) a lot to see how she did it, and I was like 'Shit! I can't do that!'"

On GOOP:
"Any time you do anything with any degree of sincerity, people make fun of you. That's totally fine. I don't care. I don't read any of it. My thing with Goop has always been, if you don't like it, then don't log onto it. There were a couple of times when I thought, 'I'm just gonna stop doing it. People are so mean to me. I don't want to do it.' But then I was like, 'Who cares what some lame person out there says?' I was in Italy once, and this old man came up to me and said, 'I had the best time in Nashville because of Goop.' And that is so worth it to me."

Heidi Klum's Marrriage Advice

I love these two!

Today's quote of the day comes from Heidi Klum who has been married to her hubby Seal for the past 7 years.

"You have to marry someone who you think is really, really hot and sexy.To me, [Seal] is the hottest man. I still look at him, and he's hot and sexy . I still feel that, and I get the butterflies in my stomach."

They are just too adorable!

Nicki Minaj SNL skit

Did you miss SNL's skit with Nicki Minaj? If you did, dont worry I got you covered. Check out the clip below from last night's show, is it funny or is the black sassy woman joke a bit tired?

Look of the day - Primrose & Theunis Crous at J&B Met

Today our look of the day comes from South Africa. Check out businessman Theunis Crous with his wife Primrose at a horse racing event called the J&B Met.

What do you think of their attire? Do you love it or hate it?

Do you know what's happening in Egypt? I had an understanding that there was turmoil based on the headlines but could I speak intelligently about it? No. So if you are in the same boat as me, check out the brief bullet points below to get you up to speed on what's happening.

- After what happened in Tunisia, the Egyptian people were inspired to revolt against their government. They are protesting poverty, rampant unemployment, government corruption and autocratic governance of President Hosni Mubarak, who has ruled the country for thirty years.

-The large protests are unprecedented in Egypt so the government is taking drastic measures to ensure that people are not able to plan protests or even have any minimal communication methods. They have blocked twitter, Facebook and most recently blocked the Internet from the entire country.

-President Hosni Mubarak appeared on state television to announce that while he would be dismissing the government, he would not resign. Sometimes you just have to know when to walk away.

You can follow the live updates here

I am praying for peace in Egypt and a swift end to the bloodshed.

Happy Birthday Oprah!!

Today the talk show queen turns 57 and we wish the entertainment icon many more birthdays to come!!

Kimora Lee Simmons is one fabulous woman! Do you guys remember her book Fabulosity? I read a few years ago and I loved it. Whether you love her or hate, I think you will find this interview interesting.

Highlights from the interview:

Do you find it odd that people call you a diva?
It’s so weird, sometimes on Twitter I search for my name, so if someone says your name it will pop up on this page. I was looking at that and sometimes people just say crazy stuff and it’s mean and I don’t know why. I want to sometimes ask them why, but I don’t want to get into it back and forth on Twitter. Sometimes I want to say “Why did you say that” or “What do you mean?” Or really ask you “What did you see to make you say that?” but I just leave it alone. I don’t really get upset by it. The mouth is like a 2-hole and all types of sh*t comes out of it! There could be a definition by which I am a diva that could be a highly empowered bad a** female of color. In that case then I am one and everyone should strive to be one!

How is Djimon?
He’s lovely, we’re very happy, I’m blessed and I don’t mean that in a cliché kind of way. My personal life is very easy. We’re calm and good at home. My kids are straight “A” students.

Do your ex-husband, Russell Simmons, and Djimon speak?
They get along very well.

Chris Brown is back in court again.

This time around he is asking the judge to remove the restraining order against him for beating up Rihanna. His reasoning is that, the restraining order is a nuisance. Chris's attorney, Mark Geragos, said that the restraining order, "makes it difficult at award shows and such," (both are nominated for multiple Grammys) and pointed out that Brown had completed the required 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling, as well as 582 of his required 1400 hours community service, which he began by cleaning a horse stable.

What do you think? Should Chris Brown have the restraining order lifted?

McCaskey East High School Divides Students By Race, Gender For 'Better Mentoring'

Pennsylvania's McCaskey East High School has come with up a "brilliant" idea to help black student : to segregate them. The experiment calls for the students being separated in homeroom based on age and gender. Homeroom meets each day for six minutes and once a week for 20 minutes. School official believe that children will learn better from a person of their own race and gender.

What are your thoughts on this? Do children really benefit from having mentors of the same race and gender?

Toddlers & Tiaras..She has a pink gun?

Gladys Bulinya at home with five of her six sets of twins

Can you imagine having six sets of twins? Well for one woman this is her reality. Meet Gladys Bulinya and her 6 sets of twins! Yep you read that right. No, they don't share the same daddy, read all about her sad story here... but Gladys has no regrets and sees all her children as God's blessings.

Unfortunately for Gladys the tribe in Kenya where she is from considers twins a curse. So imagine their horror when she continues to have multiple twin babies. Her relatives will have nothing to do with her and neither will her husband. This single mother lives in a one bedroom house with 10 of her 12 children.

Is she the Kenyan version of the Octo-Mom?

She has one kind Samaritan that will help her out, but even if the Samaritan is critical of Gladys saying ""The lady should have undergone sterilization after discovering that men were using and dumping her," she says.

What do you think? Should Gladys have stopped having babies?

Good news for Rahm Emanuel. The Supreme court has ruled that his residency is valid and that puts him back in the race for mayor of Chicago!!

In the words of Joe Biden, this is a big effin deal!

Like everyone else I have been reading news about the state of Nelson Mandela's health. According to numerous news sources, Mandela was hospitalized on Wednesday and is undergoing routine tests.

"It is a well-known fact that Madiba is 92-years-old and no longer a young man," said Jackson Mthembu an ANC spokesman.

"He is in no danger and is in good spirits," his foundation said in a statement.

It's really important to respect the privacy of the family during this time and not speculate on the state of his health. My prayers are with Madiba and his family. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Kelsey Grammer is an interesting man to say the least. As you know he is still married to his wife Camille and is trying to divorce her asap. Mr. Grammer has a new girlfriend, a 29 year old flight attendant Kayte Walsh. The current wife and new girlfriend actually met a few weeks ago for the first time. From what Camille says it was quite tense. Did I mention that Kelsey is still married?

Only in Hollywood!
Kelsey has allegedly invited his wife to be a guest at his wedding with Kayte. How odd with that be? Would you attend if you were Camille?

Oprah Winfrey Welcomes Michelle Obama to Show

My two favorite ladies! Michelle Obama will be a guest on the Oprah Winfrey show tommorrow (Thursday). The fabulous Mrs. O will shed light on the sacrifices military families make when their loved ones go into battle.

Side note: look at those arms on FLOTUS! I cant wait to see these two chop it up.

There is something to be said about the obvious lack of minorities among the contenders in this year's Oscar race. Someone joked online that the Academy asked Monique to announce the Oscar nominations to make up for the fact that there are no black nominees. In fact, this year represents the whitest group of Oscar contenders in the major acting categories in 10 years, since the 73rd Oscars. Keep in mind that Halle Berry & Idris Elba were both nominated for Golden Globes this year...just saying

Why do you think that there are no minority films or actors nominated for the coveted Oscar? Is the Academy overlooking minority talent OR do you believe there were no minority films worthy of an Oscar nod? Thoughts please!!

This is totally insane!! Melanie Snanopoulos, of Long Island, allegedly mowed down her cousin, Giselle Penagos, 21, twice with her van after fighting about a guy. The reason? Because Melanie discovered that a man she was interested in had accepted Giselle's facebook friend request, but ignored her own. Yep you read that right! Over a dude ignoring a friend request? Maybe he just hadn’t gotten around to accepting it yet! Yeesh.

Oh and the story keeps going, Melanie then proceeded to tell Giselle to get in the car but obviously Giselle couldn't because she had been ran over with a car. Melanie left her cousin and a good Samaritan took Giselle to a hospital in Queens, where it was determined that she suffered from a broken leg and a shattered pelvis.

Melanie needs to sit in someone's jail for a long time and think about what she just did. All this over Facebook? For realz?

Shingai Shoniwa, English singer of Zimbabwean descent at the South Bank Sky Arts Awards at in London, England.

Rate the look of the day- does it sizzle or fizzle?

Pastor Joel Osteen and his wife are guests on the Piers Morgan show tonight and this will be another ratings score for CNN. In the interview Pastor Osteen admits that he believes that homosexuality is a sin. He says "The scripture shows that it's a sin. But you know that I am not one of the people to bash homosexuals and tell them they're terrible people and all that......I dont believe homosexuality is God's best for a person's life" Really now Joel?

Those are some controversial statements from what some critics have called a theological lightweight - talking more about sunshine and not enough sin.

What do you think about his statements? Is homosexuality a sin?

Cheryl Burke

Cheryl Burke one of the dancers of the ABC television show "Dancing with Stars" is coming forward to tell her story in a new book. She was sexually molested as a child at the age of 5 by a retired mailman who would often pick her up from school and do odd jobs around her family's house in Atherton, Calif.

"It was lots of touching," Burke, 26, tells People magazine about her molester.He would pull my pants down in his van or he would touch me in the living room while [her caregiver] Ima was in the kitchen cooking," she says.

How incredibly sad....but kudos to her for speaking out on this issue.

Michelle Obama Wears Rachel Roy Dress For State Of The Union

Conservative yet elegant. I love it!!! Two enthusiastic thumbs up. Michelle Obama (FLOTUS) kept it classy in this Rachel Roy dress. Mrs. O is also wearing a black and white lapel ribbon in honor or Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. A little tidbit on the designer Rachel, she used to be married former Roc-A-Fella Records CEO Damon Dash and the pair have a daughter together. Rachel is proving to be star in her own right.

What do you think of Mrs. O's dress? Is it a hit or a miss?

Check out the CW's ad campaign for the "Vampire Diaries". Someone is getting fired for this issh. "VD" is usually short for "venereal disease". The CW's response was “VD simply stands for Vampire Diaries, and anyone who thinks otherwise should probably get themselves checked out.” Ha! You fail CW, no one wants to catch VD.

Today I am spotlighting one of my favorite groups from South Africa! Ladysmith Black Mambazo. You may remember them from the movie Lion King, however in South Africa they are better known as a national treasure, Nelson Mandela has once called them "South African cultural ambassadors"

Original member Albert Mazibuko tells PopEater the group strives to sing to more generations to come, especially with new album 'Songs from a Zulu Farm' on the way.

If you are in the market for a new job and you cant get any leads....I may have some good news for you! Google is hiring!! In fact they are looking to hire more than 6,000 people in 2011.

"We're looking for top talent -- across the board and around the globe -- and we'll hire as many smart, creative people as we can to tackle some of the toughest challenges in computer science," Alan Eustace, Google's vice president of engineering and research, said in the company's blog.

Jane Fonda with her daughter Mary Williams at Jane's 60th birthday party!

Did you know that legendary actress Jane Fonda has an African American daughter? Neither did I!! I was flipping through O Magazine's February 2011 issue and across the article.

In the article Mary Williams (now 43) details how at the age of 14 she transitioned from the streets of Oakland to Jane's plush hacienda in Santa Monica.. I don't want to give the story away, cause trust me it's a must read. But I will tell you that what makes the story even more remarkable is that Mary's parent were prominent high ranking members of the Black Panther Party.. For those that dont know what the Panther Party was- they were an organization founded in Oakland during the mid 60's to stop police brutality towards African Americans. What's even more interesting is how Williams and Fonda hooked up. Must read I tell you!

Read all about Mary's triumphant & inspiring journey by picking up the latest O Magazine issue.

My favorite blog theybf has an exclusive peak at Cynthia Bailey's wedding dress from an upcoming Essence Mag. What do you think of her non traditional wedding dress? And what is it about Cynthia that causes her to form relationships with controlling people (NeNe, Peter). Finally how shady was it for the girls to be making fun of Cynthia's behind at the swimsuit fashion show. With friends like the Atlanta crew who need enemies?

In another interesting tidbit did you know that Peter used to date Nia Long back in the day? Hmmmm

Jesus Hates Obama?

Check out this banned Superbowl ad and let me know if you think the commercial goes too far.

How cute are Sandra Bullock and her son Louie! Sandra is a loving, giving person, and Louis could not be in a better home," longtime Bullock pal George Lopez told Us in 2010.

And by the way Louie has his own ipad! Yes you heard right his own ipad. What a lucky kid!

Michael Jackson's former dermatologist has filed for bankruptcy. Why does this not surprise me? I am sure the King of Pop was a major source of revenue for the doc. Now if you remember Dr. Klein has been called the alleged father of MJ's kids. During one appearance on Larry King Live, Klein dodged the questions, refusing to deny it. Later he did deny it, issuing this carefully worded statement: "To the best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children. "I can't answer it in any other way. I don't want to feed any of this insanity that is going around."

Yeah ok Arnold. Something about this guy is a bit shady right?

Willow Smith is adamant on not being a one hit wonder.

I personally loved "Whip My Hair" so I am super excited to hear a snippet of her song "21st Century Girl". Check out a snippet of the song on her Facebook page

Check out what she had to say about Jay-Z "It is very cool, because Jay really welcomes me and makes me feel like the record label is a place where I can have fun and talk about my career," Willow told Vanity Fair's February issue. "He and his people make me feel like I'm a part of something. And I love Beyoncé – she's awesome!"

Must be nice for your momma and daddy to be Will and Jada Pinkett Smith huh?

Bill Clinton not making cameo in Hangover 2

Much to my chagrin Bill Clinton will not be making an appearance on Hangover. He apparently stopped by the set to hang out but will not be making it in the movie. Mike Tyson howevet will grace us with his appearance in the sequel. The movie will be released on May 26.

I hope the sequel will be as funny as its predecessor. I will be watching.

Well well well, who knew that these two were BFF's? Naomi and Cameron bonded over New Year's Eve in Hawaii. They met up again last night and had dinner at Nobu before heading to Whisky Mist bar linked arm in arm.

Speaking of Nay-Nay she will be back in a Manhattan court on Thursday. She is being sued by a beauty company that claims that Campbell backed out of a a fragrance launch last year. Campbell then countersued White saying that she misrepresented her role in the company.

At least she's not in court for hitting someone with a cellphone. And my question is how come none ever hits her back? We still love Naomi though :)

Rihanna is giving fans a glimpse of images from her latest music video "S&M" courtesy of Def Jam Records, she released the pics to Ryan Seacrest. Her music video was shot last week at a secret location in Los Angeles, California.

I am feeling both of these looks from Riri...yes even the big wild red hair. I think Rihanna can pretty much pull of any look but short hair is def the best on her. Thoughts??

Talk show host Wendy Williams is looking all kinds of amazing lately. Wendy has been up in the gym working on her fitness. Not to mention she is keeping her lacefront wigs looking extra fabulous. In addition to her talk show Wendy is filming a new game show called Love Triangle for GSN. We love Wendy around these parts..... (in her signature voice) How u doing Wendy?

Wouldnt you quit your job too if you were getting married to the Prince? Kate worked as web designer at Party Pieces but clearly Kate has more important duties to tend to like..planning the wedding of the century. There is speculation that the pair will have babies shortly after the wedding, I guess we will have to stay tuned.
