Halle Berry, Whoopi, and Shaq drama

So, I am trying to turn over a new leaf and stay away from gossip as I hear it is not good for the soul and, in my own way, I am all about saving my soul, right. As much as I would like to call "celebrity news" simply news, some of it is just out right nasty gossip. However (now you knew that was coming) there are things that happen to celebrities whom we know and love that I just cannot avoid discussing, if not for anything else, than for sparking interesting discussions. Keep in mind, this does not include this stupid things that people do; I will talk about those all day, any time of the day LOL.

Anyhow, this is one of those weeks.

What's happening that's worth mentioning? Actually lots.

Did I mention that I am loving Bed? It is like instant replay with me right now and Chrisette Michele's I AM.

Moving on ...

Halle Berry is having a baby y'all! Her people confirmed it, and she is three months along. My mom has this rule that you wait as long as you can before you start making announcements. Well, congrats to Halle and her White chocolate. She tried with the brothers and for whatever reason it did not work. What if she started going around saying that White boys are just different, treat her different and are just better. That's what some of our brothers say, who exclusively date White women. I wish someone would get ticked off about Halle having a baby with her model boyfriend?! Whatever, I am happy for her.

It's Whoopi's first day and already the sister girl is causing drama. Actually she isn't. She made a valid point on The View that did not excuse Michael Vick but shed some light on his recent actions; however, it was taken out of context. Reports started saying how she was defending Vick and dogfighting. She was just giving another side of the story, and I actually appreciated her comments. They made sense unlike the NAACP stepping up to defend Vick without making one lick of sense that God gave fleas.



The piece of tidbit that has everyone talking today is the news of Shaquille O'Neal filing for divorce from his wife Shaunie. The radio airwaves are hot with speculations of what really went down. Rumors are flying around that Shaunie was cheating on him and he found out about it. It is a hot mess. It is always sad to see a marriage disintegrate. I always pray that the couples can work it out and live in a happy, healthy marriage. Of course, that does not always happen. With a 50/50 chance of staying married at all, it takes a whole lot of working to keep things going strong.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

Bust Off That Gut With the Insanity Workout By Carl Barton It can be quite the dizzying experience trying to find the right workout regimen when a person decides to get back into shape. In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons. The Insanity Workout is a high energy workout routine that works on the interval training method. The interval method stresses a period of high activity followed by a period of low activity. This is the key to workout regimen because it warms up muscles, builds them up, and acts as a lactic acid conditioner.
