I am a native of the U.S. Virgin Islands. I grew up in the Big Apple (New York City), which is where my love for fashion, music and the entertainment industry began! Red Carpet Shelley is all about spreading the love of my Caribbean culture and heritage. In life I have learned that nothing is certain except God and change!!
Red Carpet Shelley brought you the story over a week ago that Real Housewife of Atlanta, Kandi Burruss was no longer sporting her impressive four carat diamond ring. On Friday, Kandi was a guest on the Frank Ski & Wanda Smith radio show in Atlanta. Frank Ski, a veteran interviewer, wasted no time cutting to the chase and asked Kandi some very pointed questions. The question we all wanted the answer to was "Is Kandi still engaged to A.J.?". When asked this question Kandi responded, "we had to go on a hiatus". A television show goes on hiatus, not a relationship! That being said, I applaud Kandi for openly discussing the subject. Its painful enough to break up with your man but having to discuss it publicly really sucks. I believe the pressure of her mom's disapproval and the public scrutiny played into the couple's separation but we'll see if any of the couple's dirty laundry gets aired on the hit Bravo show Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Here's a word of advice to my readers, less baby mamas means less baby mama drama! Although Kandi maintains that she and the children and their moms all got along, I believe if A.J. had less children with fewer women, it would have been less of a divisive issue with her mother. It would have also meant less media fodder. I wish Kandi all the best in her future endeavors - personally and professionally -- Kandi less baby mamas though - I'm just sayin!
Yesterday, Usain Bolt shattered the world record in the 200m in Berlin, Germany. He ran the race in 19.19 and easily blew away his competition. The previous record of 19.32 was set by Michael Johnson at the 1996 Olympics. Congratulations and Happy 23rd Birthday Usain!
If you haven't already heard, Jay Z and Beyonce were visiting Croatia earlier this week when their bodyguard, Julius, got in a scuffle with the paparazzi. Well, Croatia don't play that and as a result of the altercation, the bodyguard was charged with assault. The charges have been dropped but, the bodyguard will be fined (guess who will be picking up that tab!)
Here is the clip of the altercation and some pics of B and her man vacationing in Dubrovnik, Croatia
