The Daily Roundup for Feb 24



Beyoncé Covers DT Magazine In Pre-Baby Body Lingerie

Beyoncé has slowly been seen out and about on date nights with hubby Jay since giving birth to baby girl Blue Ivy almost two short months ago. But her first magazine cover of the year goes to Spanish published mag, DT Magazine from the pre-baby days of Miss Bey.

On the cover appears a shot of King Bey in her “Best Thing I Never Had” getup that appeared in her album artwork. Though this is a different shot, Bey is still oozing sex appeal in the feminine and flirty lingerie courtesy of young and upcoming fashion designer Lleah Rae.
The pictorial in the magazine showcases quite a few of Bey’s 4 shots, complete with couture gowns, ruffled sleeves, turquoise heels and some major headpieces.


Chris Brown Snatching A Fan’s Phone? Might get Arrested!
Every time Chris gets some good luck (The Grammys), there is some drama that follows right behind it.
An arrest warrant is being prepared as we speak for Chris after he allegedly snatched up a fan’s phone this past weekend in Miami. According to the police report which was filed in the wee hours of Sunday morning, a woman by the name of Christal Spann told officers that she was hanging out inside the nightclub for Chris’ Grammy celebration when she saw Chris and Tyga leave through a side door. She and her friends stepped out of the club hoping to get a quick pic of him on her $500 white iPhone 4S.
She spotted him sitting in a Bentley and when she tried taking a photo, he reached at her through the window, grabbed her phone and allegedly said:
“B—- you ain’t going to put that on no website.”
He drove off and she called the police who are calling it “robbery by sudden snatching.”
According to Radar Online, Deborah Doty from the Miami PD made a statement saying that the incident is still under investigation but a warrant for his arrest may be issued today, (although it is believed that he is not in Miami right now):
“An incident report was filed against Mr. Brown, and the Florida State Attorney’s Office will be issuing a warrant for his arrest this afternoon, I can’t tell you what time, but it will be today.”
If this all goes down, Chris could be locked up for a probation violation on top of the new charges from the “robbery.”
It’s hard to believe that Chris would snatch up someone’s phone and think there wouldn’t be any repercussions. This past weekend, a fan approached him at the Miami Heat game and he was all smiles as he allowed the fan to take the pic.
Unless he was out there doing something he had no business doing that night, it just doesn’t make much sense...


McDonald’s Ad Shows A Brown Girl Wishing She Could Be a White Barbie: Is It Offensive?
McDonald’s just can’t seem to get it right. They have been under serious scrutiny from consumers and corporations for continuously promoting unhealthy food and eating habits. Furthermore, their advertising has ruffled more than a few feathers. McDonald’s latest promotion, targeting children, has critics in an uproar. They have partnered with Mattel to give away Barbie Dolls with meals and the inherent problem lies with the presentation. The ad shows a brown-skinned girl with tight ringlets wishing she could be an all white, blonde, straight-haired blue-eyed Barbie doll. Not one of the Barbie dolls are brown even though the company does sell brown baby dolls.

This type of imaging just rocks me to the core as this ad further pushes the stereotype that whites are superior to all other races and every little girl dreams of looking like a white woman. What is this ad saying to our little black/brown girls? That European features are the standard and that women that look like them are not considered beautiful? This can have long-term effects on young girls, making them internalize a sense of inferiority and self-hate. I am disappointed and displeased with McDonalds Corporation, and the fact that they didn’t see anything wrong with this ad.

Chroniclers, do you see anything wrong with it? Do you believe this ad is damaging, offensive and irresponsible?


OH SNAP: Whitney Houston’s Lawyer Says Bobby Brown Violated Agreement at Funeral
Whitney Houston’s attorney “Mark Twiggs” says thatBobby Brown breached an agreement by trying to talk to the former couple’s daughter during the funeral. Triggs said that obby was suppose to sit in the first three rows with the Houston’s family and not his children, who are not Houston’s. the attorney said that Bobby’s children were told that they must sit close to the back with their uncle Tommy.

Security “discretely, politely, respectfully asked the children to sit with their uncle” Triggs wold WVEE-FM in Atlanta. He said Bobby also had agreed not to try to speak with Houston-Brown during the service but he tried to anyway.
“The other part of our agreement was if Bobbi Kristina reached out to Bobby then security was certainly going to make sure that happened. If she did not initiate the contact then he was not to reach out to her….unfortunately that did not happen. He was asked to return to his seat. He decide that he wanted to leave the service”

Brown had said that he has been asked to move several times during the service by security, which he said harassed his family during Saturday’s invitation only funeral.
Brown had been defended by the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who both said that Brown had done nothing wrong.
Brown was not available to comment at press time.
Now its obvious that Bobby and Bobbi Kristina do not have much a of a relationship. I think it’s tired of Whitney’s attorney to go public with this. And it looks like grandstanding all over again. So if Bobby really do not have a relationship with them. I think it would have been better for him to just attend the wake and be done wit it!

Houston, a former admitted drug addict, died earlier this month one day before the Grammy Awards. The cause of her death has not been released.

WWJD? Man Kicks and Stomped Girlfriend’s Breast Implant Until it Exploded
A poor woman is walking around with only one titty/breast from a domestic dispute after her boyfriend stomped and punched her in the chest until her breast implants went BOOM!
Samuel Cole, 60 was arrested by police in Ohio after he drove his unidentified girlfriend to the hospital for treatment following an attack. Cole threatened the women not to tell the police. 

According to their police report, the injuries were sustained after a verbal dispute between the pair that morning. During the dispute Cole struck the victim several times in the face with a closed fist causing injuries. When the woman fell to the floor, he continued to attack her with his foot, stomping on her left breast. Cole then choked her and placed ‘his hand over her mouth and nose in an attempt to suffocate her. He stopped the assault as his victim began to pass out. Cole was charged with felonious assault and held in jail on a $50,000 bond.

He has been ordered to stay away from the woman. In a sworn statement that woman further claimed he threatened to kill her with a razor blade, the report states. In 2004 Cole was arrested in another domestic violence case where his victim accused him of beating her with a weight.
When will you women learn to stay out a man’s pockets when he’s asleep? #SMH.


IN FASHION MAGS: Vogue Italia EIC Franca Sozzani Promises An Africa Issue: Are You Excited For It?
At the Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2012 show, L’Uomo Vogue’s Franca Sozzani revealed that she is working on another Africa-themed issue for the spring to hit newsstands in May or June. 

Sozzani stated the issue would be “about people who are from Africa in a positive way.” Since these one-off issues have proven to be lucrative and there is documented interest for them, why can’t there be an entire magazine devoted to fashion in the African diaspora? Mario Epanya famously pitched Vogue Africa to Conde Nast and was rejected (his photography above). If Vogue Italia is planning yet another one-off issue, why reject Epanya’s idea? And has there been an increase in diversity in Vogue’s pages in general?
What do you think of the politics surrounding Vogue Italia’s upcoming Africa issue?


Well Ya’ll Madea gets a Job!
Tyler Perry is going on tour with his new play 'Madea Gets a Job' and Tyler, writing as Madea, sent a letter to all his fans telling them what's what...

Hellur! This is Madea,
I was coming on this interlink email thang to let y'all know that I'm going on tour. That's right, on the road in a bran new play called MADEA GETS A JOB!! 

Times done got hard on my side of town so I went to work. They making an old woman come out of retirement. This show is hilarious. I can't wait to get out there and make you hurt yoself laughin.

 Now listen, I know times are hard right now so I told these promoters that in every city I wanted the tickets to start at $25. NOTICE I SAID START AT $25. Ok. But they go up from there. Two thangs I want you to be sure of... 

One is that I said START AT $25, and the other is that I wanted to be sure that everybody can come have a good time. 

Now if you order on that computer they make you pay a whole lot extra charges. So what I would suggest is that you take a trip to the theatre box office and save them $15 and sometimes $30 fees that they put on top of the ticket prices. I ain't got nothing to do with that. That's they fees chil', they call it a service charge. So to avoid them high fees, go to the box office honey. And get 'em at the price that I'm telling you it is. 

I wish all the tickets could be $25 but they can't cause the show is very expensive. So the highest ticket price is $85. That's still cheaper than a concert ticket. 

And this is a big show, and the ending is going to blow your mind. Y'all know I don't do nothing half way.

 I'm adding dates all year long, but these are the first few cities. And tickets are on sale now.



Next time Tameka Raymond STFU…Tweeting nasty Remarks about Bobby at Whit’s Funeral.
During Whitney Houston's Home Going Celebration, after news spread that Bobby Brown had left in a huff over an issue with the size of his entourage [click here if you missed that], Usher's ex-wife Tameka Raymond Tweeted,

'Well don't bring your new wife & kids to my funeral.. I don't care. Nope. Dont attempt to, no seats. Hmmp!'

After her thorough dragging Tameka deleted the Tweet.


Mrs. Zoe Saldana-Cooper?
Things must be heating up between Zoe Saldana and he co-star turned rumored boyfriend, Bradley Cooper. She was spotted spending President's Day with his mom, Gloria.
She's starring in The Words with Bradley Cooper, a drama that made its debut at Sundance last month. 
 And once rumors began to fly that the two carried their on-screen romance off screen, they've been spotted doing couple like things--Zoe's been spotted filling up his car with gas, they've been spotted dining out together, and yesterday, Zoe took Bradley's mom Gloria, out on a girls' movie date. And Zoe's sis Cicely tagged along as well.
The trio hit up California Pizza Kitchen in L.A., then went to see The Vow. I guess there will be a vow between Bradley and Zoe soon???? Stay Tuned!


AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
“You Sandbaggin’ Son Of A Beotch”
Let’s take a quick little poll here. What is the best object that she can store between those sandbags? My suggestion is a bowie knife. What do you think?



ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!
