Nick and Mariah Shut Up the Nay Sayers

 Well, they have stayed together longer than the Nay Sayer's predicted.  Everyone that knows me knows that I am a big fan of both Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey-Cannon.  They married in a secret ceremony April 30, 2008 in the Bahamas. 

Since the day they wed they have faced a multitude of rumors and gossip.  Every anniversary they renew their vows to one another.  On what was their third anniversary Mrs Cannon gave birth to their twins Monroe and Moroccan. (A.K.A. Roc & Roe)



First Pic of Dem Babies 2012 tweeted by Nick and Mariah

The twins will be one years old this year on April 30th.  Mariah and Nick affectionately call the twins Dem Babies.  The entire family have Twitter Accounts: @MariahCarey @NickCannon & @DemBabies

This year will mark Nick and Mariah's 4th Wedding Anniversary.  I love them as a couple and a family.  I wish nothing but the best for them.  Those who questioned their love undoubtedly get to see just how real their love is in a couple of recent TV Appearances.

Check Out part of the Cannon's Babara Walter's special where we meet the twins for the first time:

Also check out the family at the 2012 BET Honors were Mariah was the Honoree:


Today during the Hot Topics segment of her show Wendy Williams went on to talk about how she did not believe in this marriage from he beginning, she is now seeing that this is the real thing!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Nick and Mariah for showing the world that YOUR LOVE STORY IS REAL:

Take a look at one of my favorite Nick and Mariah Video's -Nick put together a video to Mariah's song Love Story for their first anniversary.  I watch this video every chance I get and fantasize about finding a LOVE LIKE THIS:



GRAMMY AWARDS 2012

This Years Grammy Awards was one of the best Grammy Ceremonies I have seen in years.  Opening up with Bruce Springsteen and LL COOL J hosting and saying a prayer for our lost sister Whitney. 

There were amazing performances this year from Bruno Mars to Rihanna and ColdPlay.  Take a look at some of the most memorable performances from this years award show:

Nicki Minaj had one of the most talked about performances to date.  She performed a song from her new album Roman in Moscow.  It is being talked about, but not as one of the best performances of the night, but as the one that left everyone trying to figure out WHAT THE HELL IS NICKI THINKING!!!!!!!!!

And of course Jennifer Hudson did a wonderful rendition of Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You in tribute to Whitney.

What did you think of this years Grammy Awards??????

WHITNEY HOUSTON DIES AT 48

WOW, I know that there is always something to blog about.  I would rather be telling my readers about some juicy gossip or news to report, but this is sad.  Whitney Houston the Queen of Pop Music during the 80's & 90's has died of unknown causes. 

It is reported that Whitney was found unresponsive in her room at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA.  She was found by members of her entourage who called hotel security who in turn called 911.  Paramedics that were on the scene (for a Grammy's Party) tried to revive Ms. Houston with no success.  Whitney Houston was pronounced dead Saturday February 11, 2012 at 3:55 PM.

Here's a video of what is Whitney's FINAL PERFORMANCE with Kelly Price at a Pre-Grammy Award Party: 

I like a lot of other folks grew up listening to Whitney Houston and I would like to remember her as the artist I grew up listening too.   Here are a few of my favorite Whitney songs:

How Will I Know

I Wanna Dance With Somebody

So Emotional

Our prayers and condolences go out to Whitney's Family and Friends.  May she Rest In Peace.

I love his music because it's not all about killing and all that mess, of course money and bitches (LOL) but not even that really. He Kinda tells us his life story and how he grew up.

BEYONCE Shows Off After Baby Body

Beyonce made her first appearance last night, since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy Carter.  Beyonce was at Carnegie Hall to support husband Jay-Z in a benefit concert for his foundation the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation & the United Way.  It has been a month since Beyonce gave birth and so many of us wanted to see the new mom and of course we can't wait to see Blue Ivy.  I do have a feeling because Mr & Mrs Carter are such a private couple that when we finally get a glimpse of Blue she will no doubt be grown.(LOL) 

Beyonce looked amazing in an Alice by Temperley Ruched Red Dress, an Alexander McQueen Gold Clutch and some Christian Louboutin Bollywood Pumps.  Looking at Mrs. Carter it is very apparent that like every woman after childbirth the breast are fuller the hips are spread and the midsection needs to be flattened back out.  We can be assured that Queen Bey is spanked up under this get up.  Bey accented her outfit with Blue accessories -- finger nail polish and a blue ring.  Momma Knowles was in attendance also.

Jay-Z's benefit concert include performers such as Alicia Keys and Nas.  Jay-Z was backed up by a 36 piece orchestra and a band that included famed drummer of The Roots Quest Love.  Young Guru was the DJ and singer Bilal was also a part of the performance.  Although, Blue Ivy Carter has not made her first appearance she did however perform in the show with her dad.  Jay-Z performed his homage to Blue Ivy "Glory", which plays Blue cooing in the end!!!!!

The after party was held at Jay-Z's 40/40 club.  See the pic below of Beyonce leaving the 40/40 club:




Here is video of Jay-Z performing GLORY:  (LISTEN TO HIS COMMENTS AT THE END OF THE SONG)
