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.

Hayes’ wife found him on the floor near a running treadmill inside his home, according to Memphis’ Shelby County Sheriff’s department. Hayes was taken to Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead at 2:08 p.m.  Officials will continue their investigation into Hayes’ death, but they believe no foul play was involved.  He was 65 years old

  He was the perfect embodiment of cool-testpattern

While many know Mr.Hayes as the voice of Chef on “South Park”…Most know him as the pioneer who laid the groundwork for disco, southern soul and of course with his smooth talk singing, he was rapping before there was rap or hip hop. R.I.P Mr. Hayes

Nicole Kidman gave birth to a baby girl this morning. Hubby Keith Urban’s rep confirmed the birth of baby Rose Kidman Urban. Speaking of the name, I guess the days of naming your child after a fruit or inanimate objects are long gone. Thank God for the child, but a little boring for us. I long for day’s of the Apple, Coco, and Denim…sigh…oh well. This is NIcole’s third child, she has two adopted children with ex hubby Tom Cruise, Isabella 15 and Conner 13. This Keith’s first child. Congratulations to the happy couple.

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!”

I’m all about taking risks and standing out, and the dress is fabulous. It’s the pop up bra that is just not working for me. I just don’t think Vicky could hold those secrets.

I love everything about this dress except the cut out. It doesn’t allow for any lift for her boobs. She is too young for her lady lumps to look that flat and saggy.
