Tina Fey returned to SNL to portray Sarah Palin in this hilarious skit with pal Amy Poehler who portrays Hillary Clinton. Tina’s Fey’s performance is spot on Sarah Palin, even down to the stupid expression on her face. As hilarious as this is, the truth of Sarah Palin actually running for vice president is quite sad. She makes George Bush look like Albert Einstein.

We all heard the sad news of the passing of comedian and actor Bernie Mac this past Saturday. Mac had been hospitalized for pneumonia, a rep for the star released a statement last week that Mac was responding well to treatments, and denied that Mac chronic sarcoidosis(rare autoimmune disease that can affect the skin, lungs, heart, brain and nervous system, eyes, and other organs) was a factor. People magazine revealed that Mac was indeed in much worse condition than his rep let on. Apparently, he was in ICU for much longer than actually reported, and had contracted a second strain of pneumonia while hospitalized. Although Mac’s sarcoidosis condition was not the immediate cause of his death, the condition greatly affected his immune system.

My prayers and sincere well wishes go out to his family.

The July issue of Vogue Italia features 150 pages of black models exclusively. This is a monumental and historical decision made by the editors of Vogue Italia. I for one think they should be applauded. What they are doing is just unheard of, considering there are usually just a few token specs of color sprinkled in the fashion spreads.

The Editor-In-Cheif Franca Sozzani said she was inspired by Barrack Obama’s historic presidential campaign. Her intention was to spark conversations about race, and to demonstrate that there is more to beauty than blonde, blue eyed Russian models. (Can I get an Amen!)

The issue features old and new pictures from famed photographer Steven Meisel. Some of the models featured are Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell, Alek Wek, Liya Kebede, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn, Iman, and plus size model Tocarra.

Hopefully other fashion editors will take a queue from Vogue Italia, and add more model diversity to their pages. Feast your eyes on these gorgeous women.

Shante Broadus aka Boss Lady (wife of rapper Snoop Dogg) was arrested this weekend for a DUI.  According to Police the 32 year old was arrested around 12:15 am, she was cited and then released.  I don’t mean to make light of a DUI, but celebs get them like teens get pimples….speaking of which and getting to the real problem… what’s up with ‘tae’s mug (shot)?  All I can say is move over Diddy, Lindsay Lohan and Angela Bower…here comes Boss Lady, it’s only a matter of time before Proactiv is knocking down Mrs. Broadus’ doggy door trying to get her to be their new spokesmodel.  And from the looks of her freckles/liver spots Proactiv may not be a bad idea.  

Sidebar: Is it me or does Shante look like Miss Sophia from the “Color Purple” after she got arrested?  I can see her now at the father’s day dinner table (rocking back and forth) saying….”Set up in dat jail…Set up in dat jail…Damn near rot to death!”

Life and Style has reported that Kanye West may have found new love with Victoria Secret model Selita Ebanks. The two were spotted having dinner at STK in NYC.  Selita was previously engaged to singer Nick Cannon, who is now married to Mariah Carey. What a frickin’ soap Opera. A Life and Style source stated:

“They didn’t look like a couple getting to know each other — they looked like they were already dating,” an onlooker tells Life & Style. “They were openly affectionate at the dinner table, cuddling, kissing and whispering in each other’s ears.”

I tell you these folks don’t waste anytime getting back in the game.  I guess it’s safe to say that Selita is not at home feeling salty about her ex, Nick Cannon’s marriage to Mariah Carey.
