Friday Love Notes: Is It Better To Be A Jump Off Or A Wife?
In an age where it seems evil is good and ying is yang, jump off's are getting better perks than wives are. How is that you're a jumpoff yet you're cast on the Real Housewives Of Atlanta? While the wife of the same man who paid for the jumpoff's boobs, lips and "makeup" has to grin and bear it, albeit with some benefits of her own I'm sure. Wouldn't want to give up that title of Mrs. Big would we? Why should she? What is the purpose of getting married in this new age of celebrity fanatics (stans) and reality ...

It's Friday night in the Knowles-Carter household and Beyonce has had an amazing week. Her new perfume Heat is the number #1 selling fragrance and she just took home 6 Grammy's, a first for any woman ever.

After this amazingly successful week for his loving wife all he has to say is: "You just won 6 Grammy's, you smell good, now what about that baby you promised me in Dangerously In Love?"

Friday Love Notes: Is Your Value System A Major Influence When Choosing A Lifelong Mate?
A value system is defined as a set of consistent ethic values (more specifically the personal and cultural values) and measures used for the purpose of ethical or ideological integrity. A well defined value system is a moral code. Most children are taught & shown different things by their parents & neighbors that shape who we are for years to come. At that age we have a limited sight distance that consists of our family, schoolmates & members of our place of worship. When we turn 18 and venture off into the world how much of these teachings do we carry ...

Mo’Nique Wins A 2010 Golden Globe Award For ‘Precious’
Posted by cmongood on January 18th, 2010
Congratulations to Mo’Nique for winning one of the highest award’s that any actress can win. She played a role in which she reenacted a true nightmare and turned it into a dream come true. For Mo’Nique the monster that every child feared was under the bed was real. So we thank Monique for playing this role and shining the light on a situation so common it’s becoming more likely to happen to a child, YOUR CHILD than not. She is truly a hero and a role model to be honored.
“I am in the midst of my dream, and when I look into the eyes of the man that I stood next to at 14 years old and I said to him one day we’re gonna be stars, and he said you first.”

Video: Simian Mobile Disco “Cruel Intentions” ft. Beth Ditto + Short Film
Posted by cmongood on January 17th, 2010
“In a world where music video’s are becoming less and less relevant, the idea of doing something that was born from the song but stands as a work in its own right really appealed to us. We are also great believers in giving directors carte blanche and when someone like Saam takes the ball and really runs with it, we love it. The result is definitely not a standard functional music video. It’s a thought provoking short film that challenges you to view the song in a different light.”
The 20 minute short film is directed by Klaxons, Janet Jackson and Cheryl Cole collaborator Saam Farahmand. View after the jump.
