As if we believe all this reality television, the new show New York goes to Hollywood is expected to be another hit television show.  Don’t get me wrong, when it comes to reality TV Miss New York is surely the ‘it’ girl and I will admit she is one of my favorite reality leading ladies.  I just liked her spunk since day one, of course she is extra and way over the top, but she is interesting to watch. I wouldnt be mad if she dropped her breast job down a couple of sizes though.  Her past television appearances have brought her an abundance of success, with I Love New York 1 & 2 breaking records in reality television.  Her new show however is all about her, with no 12 men to share the camera time with so let’s hope she can keep us entertained this time around. 

The show is documenting her journey to fulfill her goal of becoming an actress, so the cameras will follow her as she tries to take Hollywood by storm.  Rumor has it that George “Tailor Made” Weisgerber has broken up with her since the reunion of I Love New York 2 and the heartbreaking moment will be a highlight on the upcoming show.  We can almost assure her mother will be a co-star on this show as well, and all the small nuances of life will be brought to a dramatic level for the cameras.  It seems kind of scary when you analyze what’s going on with our culture, but she has become popular enough to where America just wants to watch her go through her daily life. Tiffany “New York” Pollard has come along way from home Toto.

Will Smith has done it again!  Hancock was a huge success with a $66 million dollars opening weekend, not including the $41.3 million earned between the debut on Tuesday and the weekend.  This is Will’s 5^th movie released on the 4^th of July weekend, the total of $107.3 million was Will Smith’s best opening.   Congrats Mr. Smith.

“Thought he told you that he won’t stop.”

But while I’m on the topic of Will Smith, I just wanted to take this time to acknowledge how fine this young black man is. 

He is in my opinion under the definition of perfection. 

He is fine as all possibilities, he’s tall, has a great body and smart and funny.  Another awesome thing about this man, he has never compromised his character.  He has always held himself in a positive light, never let the hip hop game persuade him and he has never acted like a baboon on camera.  He has been a positive role model throughout his career and that says a lot in this day and age.  In addition to all that- he is absolutely fine!

Is Jada lucky or what?     I had a crush on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air since I was like 8 years old; I mean any junior high friend can tell you I used to say I was the Princess of Bel-Air.  Of course I outgrew that crush, but I have still adored this man for all his talents and great looks ever since.  So again- I was just taking the minute to show homage to the greatness known as Will Smith. 

(Sorry fellas who didn’t want to hear that)

Diva Diaries is a remarkable story about three strong divas helping each other over the humps of love, life, career and family.

Dakota is a smart sexy publicist that lives life in the fast lane. Dakota finds it necessary to keep a few men on the roster. When one acts out call the next one. Love never crossed her mind until she finds herself sitting around waiting on Tony, her on again and off again man with his own roster of women he tries to hide. When a tragic loss hits Kota hard she re-evaluates her lifestyle, her relationships finding what is really important.

Chrasey is a little over weight and stuck in a dead end marriage to Keith who she loves. Married with children Chrasey suddenly finds life exciting again when she meets a younger handsome Trevor that reminds her she is a diva and a worthy woman. Riddled with guilt Chrasey finds out that her husband Keith has more problems than she thought and those problems will change her family and marriage forever. Jordan, a hard working entertainment lawyer struggles to balance a high demand career and a husband who doesn’t like the spotlight that comes with his wife. When her husband Omar decides to teach Jordan a lesson about her responsibilities as wife and mother his approach backfires and Jordan turns to her long time friend and colleague Jayon. Life for Jordan and Omar will never be the same.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this story. Once you start reading, you can’t put the book down.

A story so real- you know these divas. One might be you. I found I was a little bit of all three of them.

This sexy, heart felt novel was all that! A top pick for 2006.
A Sex in the City meets Girlfriends with a twist. Check it out July.

Best friends since college, Chrasey, Dakota and Jordan are all in their early 30s, with real careers, real families—and real issues. Overweight and pretty, Chrasey is married and has two young sons. Her husband Keith barely knows she exists—but sexy young Trevor does…and he’s more than willing to pick up the slack. Jordan is a high-powered entertainment lawyer with not enough hours in the day. Her husband Omar is tired of her late nights at the office and wants her to choose between career and home—but at what cost? Dakota is the only single woman of the three, but she’d love nothing more than to be a Mrs. to the former NFL star she’s seeing-but he’s “engaged” to his baby’s mama. Will she finally wise up-or settle for being his “jump off?”
