It's been a crazy week...we had the All-Star Game here in NYC and I went to an MLB.com party at Roseland on Sunday night, like a maniac. It was cool, I didn't see any ball players I knew because I was running around checking out the not-so-exciting selection of other dudes (thus I missed Joba!). I did see his beautiful co-host, Alyssa Milano, who continues to kill it 2o+ years into the game. She is fly! (though you can't tell from my pictures) She's a shorty too...work it, Sam!
Anyway, the highlight of the night for me was having to tell the folks from the gossip mags who the reality "celebs" were, i.e. Heather from "Rock of Love" and Saaphyri from "Flavor of Love". Then someone who I really think was "The Entertainer" from "I Love New York" and I Love Money" walked by our large group of young lady journalists with his head cocked to the side, and uttered in what was supposed to be his seductive bedroom voice, "Hey ladies." It was kinda messed up because none of the reporters knew who he was so he just literally walked through the carpet.
Even better than that is that when I told the gossip mag reporters who these people were, I was kinda freaked out and disturbed that I knew them and recognized theml; and that they were on this red carpet. What have I/we come to! So, when I said, "That's Saaphyri from 'Flavor of Love'," the chick from US Weekly (I think) was like, "Oh, lip chap?!" I lost it, and gave her an overwhelming yes. It was a fun moment.
Editors Note: when googling how to properly spell "Saaphyri," I appropriately found this:http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/21062027.html
I saw it awhile ago and totally forgot how crazy this was...my favorite comment is:
"saaphyri, gurl ilu. but what do titties have to do with chapped lips?"
I reported this for WBAI 99.5 FM; check it out here...it's about 5-10 minutes in. and you'll get some brain food.
I found out via one of my favorite guilty pleasures, "The New York Daily News" that Derek Jeter was there and I missed him on the red carpet. Not that he would have saw me and stopped dead in his tracks, walked up to me and tell me that I'm the swirl woman of his dreams and that he worships me, BUT I'm just saying I'd like to see what this dude looks like in person. I think it might burst my bubble of having some ideal fantasy man who is powerful, and strong, and rich, and wouldn't be threatened by little ol' me. He'd have to wear his uniform all the time so I don't know if it would ever work. Sigh, I left early with my girl and went home to write news headlines and get some beauty rest. Derek, you missed out, baby!
So continuing my week, I checked out Kay Konnect's City of Chiefs party. I hadn't been to an industry party in a minute but I dig Kay's energy, and knew it would be a good time. I saw many old friends, especially from my AllHipHop.com days, and met some new interesting people. I also realized that I am content not working in that world 24/7...but it's nice to be able to get back into the groove with people who have survived through time with me.
Also at the party were more reality "stars." They're following me! If anyone watched "the White Rapper Show," then you remember the self-proclaimed "King of the 'Burbs" Jon Brown. That fool was there! I will say he was on his grind (I couldn't save you, Stevie, lol!) but it tripped me out. There was also a g/gentleman from the new show, "From G's to Gents," by the name of Mike D. My homegirl, Dove, is working with him. Cute kid with a gorgeous trouble-making smile who takes hair pretty seriously, so now I'm gonna have to add that to the reality show repetoire. And I'm curious to see Fonsworth Bentley at work. I really can't escape.
Universe, what are you telling me?!
So that's really it. It's a full moon and I'm going out to enjoy it. Peace royalty and divine spirits!
