After months and months of silence, Rihanna speaks. We all thought we would have heard from her at the court case of the century but Chris Brown stole her thunder by pleading guilty. Now, Rihanna will hold court on ABC and all eyes will be on the Bajan pop star.
She will be on Good Morning America on Thursday (7AM-9AM) and 20/20 on Friday at 10 PM EST. The ish is about to hit the fan!!!!!!
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed "Empire State of Mind" last night at Game 2 of the World Series. I love the Bronx (I grew up there), I love the Bronx Bombers (of course!), I love Jay-Z and I love the song "Empire State of Mind". The choice of performer was clear cut. The song is on top of the charts and Jay-Z Jay-Z has always repped for the Yankees. He has worn his Yankee fitted for as long as I can remember and is arguably one of their biggest fans. So, I eagerly tuned in to witness history in the making. I was not disappointed - Jay-Z and Alicia Keys ripped it. And, to really top off my night the Yankees won!!! God is good....

Miami Carnival went down recently in sunny Miami, FL at Bicentennial Park. For as long as I can remember, each year Carnival in Miami actually meant two carnivals: Miami and Fort Lauderdale. This year there was only one carnival and it was in Miami. It was the 25th anniversary of Miami Carnival and what better way to commemorate than to have masqueraders and carnival attendees gathered for ONE carnival.
