Zimbabwe's 1st celebrity ADULT entertainer? Things that make you go hmmm


Well, well, well what do we have here?!?


Meet Beverly Sibanda. In her circles she is known as one of Zimbabwe's most successful adult entertainers. Can I be honest for a second? I actually didn't even know that there was an adult entertainment business in Zim, let alone successful people in it. I guess you learn something new everyday! Back to Beverly though... the 21 year old Harare based stripper landed herself back in the headlines this week after releasing an interesting video.
.

Entitled 'Bev Jail House: This is My Story' the video posted on YouTube, pokes fun at the police over her arrest in Zimbabwe this past September. The mom of one claims that the po-po questioned her overnight about her pole dancing moves and while in custody she says the authorities forced her to dance for them. Really now? I guess anything is possible. Frankly, I saw the video and it's nothing to write home about. Watch it here and judge for yourself. 

So this got to me to thinking, are Zimbabwean men and women really ready for their first celebrity adult entertainer?  A quick Google search of Bev reveals numerous articles and posts about her; no one can deny that home girl is certainly making her presence known.


And what about the ladies?

“Previously, women were jealous of me, thinking that I was a home-wrecker but that has since changed because they now appreciate that I am an artist". Word on the street is that she is  a much sought after entertainer at most baby showers and bachelorette parties. The ladies wanna learn how to twerk something too!

Talk to me people. Given Zimbabwean's conservative nature does someone like Beverly have a place in our society? Is she opening up the dialogue about Zimbabwean women and their sexuality or is she really setting us back? Thoughts?

Chris Brown's 'Osama Bin Laden' Halloween Outfit

Someone wrote this about Chris Brown's Halloween outfit "Why does he constantly set himself up for failure" They certainly have a point don't they? Breezy just tweeted the picture of his Halloween costume. In case you are confused who Rihanna's ex's is in the picture, its the idiot holding up the gun. But I want to hear from
you, do you think his costume is tacky or is it just right? Curious to get your feedback cause I believe this a hotmessdotcom. Holla at me!

Quick soundbites from Toni Braxton's Behind the Music special!



Mama we famous
Toni Braxton and her sisters were introduced to the music scene in 1990. Signed to ARISTA records the clan released a single that we all have never heard about. I mean it flopped in the masses. They girls were passed on from Arista to a pair of producers behind a new label called LaFace. After their lackluster sales the Braxton sisters were dropped from their label - with the exception of  Toni Braxton. The producers, LA Reid and Babyface signed Toni to a solo deal and they started working with her in 1993

Love Should Have Bought You Home
In July of 1993 Toni released her self titled debut album which went on to sell  ten million copies worldwide. "It was an incredible roller-coaster ride, sometimes I look back at it and I cant believe that it actually happened to me" says the Grammy award winning singer


Guilt Ridden
Toni felt guilty for leaving her sisters behind when she started achieving fame and success. Her Mom would say about her accolades "Yeah that's great, but don't forget about your sisters". She says she could never accept it and feel comfortable. So she hired her sisters as background singers and put them on payroll. She even pushed LaFace Records to sign her sisters. As we all know their album "The Braxtons" peaked at 113 on the charts and flopped majorly.

Secrets
"I'm 5'2 and nothing about me is sexy, meaning I don't have great legs or great boobies but Ive always wanted to be sexy. I always felt sexy deep down inside" says the pint sized singer. In June of 1996 her album Secrets was released and she was finally able to unleash her sexy side.

Hated IT!
Toni says when she first heard "Unbreak My Heart" she hated it. LA Reid convinced her to do the song and the ballad became second highest selling single by a female artist in history. It spent a whooping 11 weeks at # 1.

Her deal was a slave contract
By the end of 1997 Toni had sold over twenty million records, you would think she was sitting on racks on racks on racks. That couldn't be further from the truth. Her first royalty statement was for a whooping $2,000. "Her deal was a beginner's deal, I call it a slave contract" says her former manager. Heavy promotion and overhead costs included in her contract made it impossible for her to turn a profit. "When they put you in those limos and give you those wonderful dresses, it's all recouped- meaning they get their money back and when you get what's left" a broke Toni Braxton says. So you see, you might have more money than your favorite singer.

Unbounce my check
With no money to pay her personal bills Toni had to file for bankruptcy. This put her at odd with mentors- LA Reid and Babyface.Speaking about the situation for the first time, Babyface says that the deal with Toni was a joint venture with Arista so they couldn't do anything about it. Their hands were literally tied!

Oprah was so mean to me
Toni says she felt like when she was on the Oprah Winfrey reprimanded her. In an appearance on the talk queen's hit show Mama O said " I heard you have Gucci flatware- I'm Oprah Winfrey and I don't have Gucci flatware". Sorry Toni, I'm with Mama O on this. If you have no money to pay your bills why are buying Gucci flatware? Toni says that moment completely changed her career and made people look down on her. Welp..

We Found Love in a Hopeless Place
After 2 years of dating, Toni and Keri Lewis from Mint Condition got married in April of 2001. Not long after that (seven months to be exact) she gave birth to her son Denim. On the work front she renegotiated a deal with ARISTA for 20 million dollars. Good for her! Obviously after going through a legal case to get her money, her relationship with LA Reid and Babyface also started to deteriorate.

Don't Call it a Comeback
In early 2002, 34 year old Toni became pregnant with her second child. She says the label was upset and they looked at her pregnancy as a disease. Due to high tension and pregnancy - the album only sold 500,000. In April 2003, Toni decided that she wanted out of her contract with LaFace. Hindsight is 20/20 because she says now she should have taken the time to call LA. Looking back she acknowledges that she ruined her professional relationship with them.

Autism & Lupus Strike
Approaching 40 with 2 children to support Toni decided to shakeup her professional career. She moved to Vegas to do a nightly show at the Flamingo Hotel with her sisters during background singing. During her 2 years in Vegas Toni found out that her son Diezel had autism. And to make matters worse in April of 2008 she was also diagnosed with Lupus - an autoimmune disease that slowly attacks the body's organs.

 Not Again Toni
After her diagnosis, Toni was bed ridden and had to cancel the remaining shows. When the insurance company refused to cover the losses, Toni was sued by all the vendors affiliated with the show. She had to file bankruptcy again cause she couldnt afford to pay all the creditors.With the mounting finaccial and health woes- Toni's personal life suffered too. Toni and Keri separated but decided no to divorce for the sake of their children. Hmm they still ain't divorced...I don't think it for the children's sake anymore. Just get back together already!

Braxton Family Values
In 2011, she made another bold career move by agreeing to appear in a reality show. It was Toni's way of making good on her promise she made years ago to help her sisters build their own careers."She put us on this platform to make sure that we can follow our dreams" says sis Traci Braxton. In early 2012 Toni recorded new music for the first time in 3 years and her single "I heart you" reached # 1 on the dance charts.

Aww such a happy ending! I applaud Toni for being so honest about her story. Lawd knows it is embarassing to have to file for bankruptcy twice. I might not have told you guys that! Just kidding! Thoughts on her Behind the Music?

Missed Oprah's Life Class with Joel Osteen: 14 quotables to help you catch up!

I have to tell ya, Oprah's life class is SUPER awesome. I am a fan of ratchet TV, yes I watch Basketball Wives and Love & Hip Hop but every now and then I need my soul cleansed. Enter O and Joel Osteen's life class. The show on OWN aired last week Sunday and the lesson was all about 'The power of 'I am'- whatever follows I am will follow you".  The question posed to the audience was "how are you inviting the energy into your life"? Check out my list of the most memorable 14 quotes from the Life Class from both Oprah and Joel Osteen.



1. If you wanna know what you're gonna be like 5 years from now, listen to what you are saying to yourself right now.
 
2. It's not magic but when words go out of your mouth it starts to change your own self image. If you go around all day saying "I'm blessed, I'm beautiful, I'm valuable, I'm creative, I'm disciplined"...it does something on the inside of you, it's what you are hearing about yourself. 

3. You become what you believe

4. Your words and thoughts become your destiny

5. Whatever you feed will grow

6. People may try to push you down but when you know God has approved you, you will realize "I don't need other people's approval. I've been equipped, empowered and anointed by the creator of the Universe"


7. God never promised us that we would go through life and not have challenges. But this is what God promises us: He promises that he will give us grace for every season. He will give strength in the midst of the the storm. If you stay in faith with God He will not only bring you out, but he will bring you out better than you were before!

8. As long as you are still here, you are ordained by God for a purpose. If you are breathing, God has a purpose for you. If you were done, he would have taken you on. As long as you have breath somebody needs what you have.

9. God's plan for our life is bigger than our own.

10. God's in control. Nothing is happening to me, it's happening for me. Even though I am in a difficult time, I will be in peace today. When you are in peace it's a position of power and when you stay in peace God will get you to where you are supposed to be. He will move people out of the way and open up doors for you. He's in control of our lives.

11. The enemy always fights you the hardest when he knows that God has something great in your future. 

12. Nothing is out order with the divine order of your life. The truth is wherever you are at any given moment, that's where you are supposed to be. True faith is knowing that no matter what- I am going to be OK.

13. It's so important to never speak negative words about you or your family. It may come to your mind but don't give your words life by speaking them out. You may feel it but zip it up and make those positive declarations.

14.Nobody can beat YOU at being YOU!

I am SO inspired! I cant wait to watch next week's episode. What are you "I am" declarations?

EMBARRASSING AUDIO: Zimbabwean Prime Minister's wife Liz Tsvangirai can't say the word 'REITERATE'

"Sorry, I'll take it again" Liz looking fly!
This sucks! But is also HIGHLY hilarious! I mean I laughed my a** off!

So the story goes that Elizabeth Tsvangirai, the 35-year-old wife of Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai experienced what could be defined as every speaker's worst nightmare. According to my friends over at New Zimbabwe, Liz was giving a speech at the Thokozani Khuphe Cancer Foundation and got stuck on word the REITERATE. Friends, she  pronounced the word every which way except the right way. Dang, this so funny, at least she tried though. To her defense public speaking ain't no joke, I know Michelle Obama makes it look easy but it ain't. Just ask my girl Liz!

The fun starts at the 5:00 minute mark- LOL!

White people get BAD weaves/wigs too: The Britney Spears edition

People often talk (both good and bad) about black women wearing wigs and weaves but rarely do we ever talk about our white sisters having extensions in their hair. Well Britney Spears is clearly on a path to change that. Albeit indirectly but the story still remains the same.
No ma'am Miss Spears

After looking at the cover of this month's Lucky Magazine with X-factor judge, I just have one question. Y'all, what in the HELL is wrong with Britney's hair?!  Her hairstylist must not like her because you mean to tell me that no one thought to tap baby girl on the shoulder and ask her to push her wig back? They ain't your friends Brit Brit!





Now the uproar over the cover wasn't just noticed by me, legions of Britney's fans lashed out at Lucky Magazine- so much so that the publication had to say something. Staffers at the mag apologized to fans, saying: "Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on our cover! As always, we will share with our team and we're sorry to have let some of you down."

Britney Spear is not a first time hair offender

To be fair. we can't blame Lucky magazine 100% for this hair travesty.  The mom of 2 has been a long time weave offender. The no.1 rule for wearing weaves is to never let your tracks show., it defeats the whole purpose of making the hair seem as if it's growing out of your scalp. Plus it's just tacky! The singer clearly has no regard for this and has been showing the world her tracks for a few years. For someone who makes millions of dollars, there is no excuse for all this mess. 




T
With the tracks out Brit Brit? No bueno
Britney if you ever see  this, I have a girl in the hood that can hook you up for next to nothing. She will have you looking like the bomb! Holla at me Girl!

Word on the street is you can take these 4 pills to lose weight without exercise!

While going through my DVR this weekend, I came across an interesting topic on a US chat show. According to a doctor who appeared on "The View" you can actually lose weight without diet and exercise by taking a few pills or natural herbs from around the world. Hmmm interesting. So I just thought I would share them with you guys and get your feedback

Disclaimer: I am not endorsing these products, just sharing data. Please check with a doctor before you take any pills. That being said,  I may try one of these supplements just to see how it works out.
This plant from India is said to do two things. One is sending a signal to the brain that you are full and the second is it stopping  fat cells from forming
This green coffee bean has chlorogenic acid which stops the body from absorbing sugar into the bloodstream. So if you have no sugar in the blood it can translate to no fat in the body
The ketones liberates the fat and are also great for dropping the last 5 or 10 lbs.
This food from Africa has 25x more iron than spinach, 17x more calcium than milk and 9x more protein than yogurt.When you get it into your body, your blood sugar comes down and energy goes up.  So in a sense your body think it has nutrients so you don't have to eat volumes of food.
Have you ever tried any of the supplemements listed above? If any of you guys are readers or doctors please chime in on the validity of these superfoods! Thoughts?

The Houston's: On Our Own recap: would Whitney Houston want this?

I could probably come up with a 1,000 reasons why the 'The Houston's: On Our Own"  reality show is quite possibly the worst idea ever. Truthfully the 30 minute spectacle leaves a LOT to be desired. People Magazine may have put it best when they described it as "the epitome of too soon". Guys, it hasn't even been a year since Whitney died and her family is also clearly capitalizing on her death by any means necessary.  After watching the first 2 episodes tonight check out the 5 reasons I believe Whitney Houston's family have a reality show is no bueno:



1) Bobby Kristina
Bobby Kristina is clearly still grieving. And understandably so, the world lost an iconic singer and she was tragically robbed of her only mother. In both episodes tonight, you could clearly tell that Krissy was under some type of influence. Y'all, baby girl was as high as a kite. I'm talking slurring her speech & eyes barely open type of thing. It's not an entirely outlandish idea that she would turn to drinking to get through her loss (considering Whitney let her drink) but does she need the cameras in her face capturing all of this three months after her Mom's passing? I don't think so..

2) Cissy ain't into it

The family made their publicity rounds in NYC to promote the show this week and one of their stops was on the  US chat show 'The View'. Barbara Walters cut straight to the chase and asked Cissy about appearing uneasy about being on the show and whether or not the she had any trepidation about having the cameras follow her around. The Houston matriarch answered that she wasn't crazy about doing the show but that she was doing just to support her family. C'mon now, Cissy is 79, is this really how her family wants her to spend her golden years? Tsk tsk

3)The show really has the wrong title
The show really shouldn't be called "The Houston's: On Our Own" It should be re-named the Bobby Kristina show. The first episode was squarely focused on her. Again it begs the question, how is this helping the 19 year old move forward? It felt so eery watching the cameras follow Krissy to her Mother's grave site just weeks her untimely death.I actually felt very uncomfortable watching that, it's just too soon. Her grieving process is not any of our business, I wish the Houston family could see that. Let her talk about it once she's over it. Right now the cut is so fresh and raw..it's just painful to watch.

4) A generational curse

Folks did you ever watch the reality show that Krissy's parents starred in? The 'Being Bobby Brown' was a huge cash cow for the Bravo channel.Bobby Brown was supposed to be star of the show but Whitney's erratic and drug filled antics made the show a cult classic. It was like watching a train wreck, you just couldnt bare to look away.. The same can be said for the 'Houston's' show.

5) Nick Gordon
24 year old Nick Gordon is Bobby Kris's adopted brother/boyfriend/fiance. The pair is allegedly engaged to be married and they live together in the house that they shared with Whitney Houston. So get this guys, the ring that Nick used to propose to Krissy was her mother's ring. Dude, you cant even buy your own ring to propose? Please have several seats. He strikes me as a shady character that is clearly taking advantage of a situation gone awry. Cissy put it best when she said " I don't know Nick that well, let us pray that everyone will find their way". What a dang gone shame!

In the age of reality shows where people over share everything some things are better left to deal with in private.

That's just my 2 cents. Did you watch the show? If so what did you think? If not how come you didn't tune in?

Jessica Biel's wedding dress revealed!!

How cute is this pic? Justin is literally jumping for joy!! As you may know by now, the couple of five years got married in a romantic Italian ceremony on Oct. 19, "it was a really special evening," Timberlake, 31, tells PEOPLE magazine in this week's cover story.

The newlyweds are opening up for the first time about their special day and sharing exclusive photos in the magazine. "It was a total fantasy experience," says Jessica Biel. SN: I wonder how much they got paid for this! Hmm

The couple reveals that Justin played the guitar and serenaded his beautiful bride-to-be as she walked down the aisle in a custom, petal pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown. I love that she wore pink instead of white, so pretty!

Justin admitted that the song was "..an original piece I wrote specifically for the evening and for her". Awww isn't that sweet? I can't wait to go get this People Magazine!! Thoughts?

Taraji P. Henson & Evelyn Lozada were both spotted strolling down the red carpet at different events in identical outfits.

Idris Elba films smokin' HOT music video with South African actress Terry Pheto!

Lawd Jesus, that Idris Elba is hottie ain't he? Hmm now that we have that out of the way..hehehe
As you may know, the actor has been in South Africa for the past 5-6 months shooting the much anticipated Nelson Mandela flick! After seeing the lackluster  'Winnie" trailer starring Jennifer Hudson and Terrance Howard, I cant wait to what he does with that. My expectations are high! While Idris was in SA he shoot a music video featuring one of Mzansi's most talented and gorgeous actress - Terry Pheto. 
Aside from being a kick- ass actor Idris also squeezes time in as a much sought after DJ. He just tweeted the following a few minutes ago:
@idriselba: In Joburg shooting the Mandela film, I wrote songs & directed a vid. Have a look behind the scenes.

Couple of things to look out for
1) Idris's British accent is SO hot!
2) Terry Pheto has a banging body! In case you didn't know she's also in the Mandela movie and has featured in US soapie the 'Bold and Beautiful'
3) Wouldn't Idris and Terry make such a cute couple? I'm just saying..

What does actress Leleti Khumalo from 'Sarafina' fame look like now?!

I would say pretty much the same! Homegirl looks great right? By the way, Sarafina is one of my FAVE all time movies. Leleti should have gotten an Oscar or Golden Globe for that role she was just phenomenal. The actress is covering this week's South African based Drum Magazine, all loved up with her new hubby. Nice! Can't wait to read all about it. Think she will spills the deets on her marriage to ex Mbongeni Ngema? I have heard rumors, wouldn't it be great if just dished it all. I digress..thoughts on Leleti's progression trough the years?

Nelson Mandela 'inspired' clothing line opens second library in South Africa

Happy Friday to you! What better way to end the week than with a bit of good news, right?

A few months ago when I wrote about my experience at the Nelson Mandela inspired clothing line launch in New York City, I was met with a barrage of questions on Facebook. Most of my friends wanted to know where the proceeds of the clothing were going and voiced concern about the brand exploiting Madiba's name and face. While those were valid concerns, I re-iterated that the brand has always maintained that they  would be donating proceeds of their revenues to build libraries in South Africa.  And now my friends, as they say "the proof is in the pudding"...and this is pretty amazing news.

The Mandlamasha Community School has 902 students and 27 teachers
Using revenues from 466/64 Fashion, a brand new spanking library was opened in Mandlamasha Community School, a farm school in the “Koppie Alleen” community located in the northern Kwa-Zulu Natal municipality of Dannhauser. This is the second library funded by the 466/64 and a third library is due to opened in the Eastern Cape in the next few months.

The Mandlamasha area faces the unfortunate double-challenge of high unemployment and a large number of child headed households, making the case for a well-resourced library.
The Mandlamasha Mandela Day Library includes a broad
section of fiction, non-fiction and reference books
“It is deeply humbling to once again see how committed educators are making a difference in the lives of children who need it most,” says Wayne Bebb, Brand ID CEO. “We are thrilled that 466/64 Fashion has been able to play a part in this by funding a library for all the learners at this inspiring school.”
Wayne Bebb, Brand ID CEO address the crowd
Awesome stuff right? What do you think of the library? And additionally what are your thoughts on the 466/64 clothing line?
