eyeWatch: The Real Housewives of ATL!

Here's the scoop from the party for the launch of the second season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta from AJC.

Attention is like oxygen for “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” If a red carpet isn’t there, do you even exist?

Fortunately for the five women from the Bravo show, last night’s premiere party at the W Hotel in Buckhead was nirvana thanks to the camera-toting media horde. More than 500 people showed up, including Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and Antonia “Toya” Carter from the BET show “Tiny & Toya,” Q from the local R&B group 112 and music producer Jazze Pha. Zolciak invited her cosmetic surgeon Louis Cole, who said he may or may not show up in this season’s episodes. And show creator Princess Banton-Lofters, whose production company Loft 22 Entertainment helped put together the party, came by as well.


The publicist’s media advisory promised attendees such as Mike Vick, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and R&B singer Angie Stone. I did not see them.

Lisa Wu Hartwell was the first of the five there, looking fabulous in a green dress created by Sergio Hudson. Soon after, new buds Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burruss strolled into the green room for interviews. At about 9:30 p.m., NeNe Leakes joined the other three, highlighted by a stunning pearl necklace.


NeNe told my videographer Ryon Horne that the show portrayed her 100 percent accurately season one and she expected no different season two. She also said she didn’t get along with Burruss partly because she felt Burruss, as the newcomer in the group, didn’t show her the proper respect.


I also spoke briefly with Kim about her relationship with Kandi. “She is the best thing to happen to the show,” Kim said. “She’s phenomenal and so beautiful.” Kandi, she said, helps her big time in the music studio as Kim pursues a country music career.

Last housewife there? Sheree Whitfield, who decided to channel ’80s era Tina Turner and Grace Slick with a Mad Max-style hairdo. She came in too late to do many interviews. I also noticed that she never smiles with her mouth open when she poses. Instead, she does her own version of Zoolander’s “Blue Steel.”

The screening was scheduled to start at 10 p.m. By 10:30 p.m., most everyone was seated, but several folks milled about gabbing away in front of the screen. The plaintive cries of the emcee to sit down went ignored. I had already seen the first episode (Bravo had sent a screener a couple of weeks ago) so my fiance and I left at 10:45 p.m.. The screening did start a few minutes later, according to one of the publicists today. Apparently, people sat in spaces reserved for the housewives and it took some time to get extra seats to accommodate the women.




As I was leaving, I saw frequent NeNe sidekick and hairdresser Dwight Eubanks at the valet. He was departing early as well. I said to him, “You’re in the first five minutes of the first episode. Why are you missing that?” He rolled his eyes and said, “Whatever.” He had been there a long time already.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” season two, debuts at 10 p.m. TONIGHT on Bravo.

*when I laugh so hard that I start to cry

*Beyoncé

*to be creative

*to put a smile on someone's face

*to come that much closer to reaching a new goal

eyeAsk: Why Are You Blessed?

On Twitter there is a list of trending topics and today I saw one that read "#iamblessed". So I thought, hey why not ask why people are blessed. So here is why I'm blessed:

#iamblessed because I woke up this morning.
#iamblessed because I have my five senses.
#iamblessed because I have people in my life that love me for me.
#iamblessed because I've done a lot of bad things in life, but no matter what I know that God forgives me and will treat me no differently than He did when I did good things.

Here are some tweets from Twitter users:

*If u woke up this morning ... then U R blessed. You have at least 1 thing to be grateful for. Now, continue the list... #Iamblessed
*#iamblessed for my friends & my family!
*#Iamblessed because I know my self worth.
*#iamblessed to have the type of family and friends that i have....they are so supportive and loving!!! Thank you LORD!!
*#IamBlessed to not be in prison. Thank GOD!!!!!
*#iamblessed i have friends, family, & life after stage 4 brain cancer (with no remission after a year and a half) plus home & food & love...
*#iamblessed God gave me good health, beautiful children and BIG sense of humor...

Why are you blessed?

eyeRemember: Childhood Memories

When you look at the younger generation today there really doesn't seem like there is much of a "childhood" anymore. These young kids grow up so fast, have babies, try to act older for attention, get locked up, or end up killed by a young age. What happened to just being a kid? It seems as though that era of childhood is null and void by the age of 11 or 12. Nowadays kids have cell phones by the age of ten, lose their virginity by 13 and are just completely wild by 15.

eyeRemember:
*Not having a cell phone
*Having a curfew (not really)
*Being on punishment
*When we actually communicated instead of texting
*Where playing outside and doing activities came way before sitting in front of a computer screen all day
*Watching cartoons
*Being able to play kickball and double-dutch without worrying about getting shot
*When we had to beg people outside for $.25 to get chips or a quarter juice from the store
*Coming outside after the first day of school just to chill
*When your brother or sister had a kid at the age of 22+
*When people had dreams to be something in life
*Just enjoying a kid and having fun

Where did these days go? What are some memories that you have about being a kid?

eyeAsk: Does Real Love Exist Anymore?

I love making people think so here's another question for you, Does real love exist anymore? I know there are so many directions that this topic could go in, but I REALLY would love to hear what you think. When we're presented with media's perception of love, it either seems like some relationships are too new for us to really believe that it's love. Just look at all of these breakups in the media: most recently, Kim Kardashian & Reggie Bush, Tony Romo & Jessica Simpson, Brad & Jennifer, Hulk & Linda Hogan, Nas & Kelis, Usher and Tameka, Janet Jackson & Jermaine DuPri, and then list could go on and on.

After seeing all of the failed relationships and statistics out there, there doesn't seem like there's much hope for true love. To my surprise, I ran into an article listing the top long-lasting celebrity relationships. It doesn't hurt to see more stories about the Susan Sarandon & Tim Robbins, Will & Jadas, Beyoncé and Jay-Zs, or the 50% of marriages that do last. I mean but who wants to hear about that right?! (That's me being sarcastic.)

I personally think that real love does exist and that sometimes we overlook it by comparing our relationships to others. There are just so many factors and distractions that are a part of being in a relationship that complicate things and put road blocks in our journey to love. So real love does exist, we just have to find the right person, keep them happy, make sure we don't lose ourselves while keeping them happy, be honest, loyal, cook, clean, multi-task, work, but most importantly, love ourselves before we give our love to someone else. Now that's real love!

What is your opinion? Is real love still out there?

This track is pretty cool, let me know what you think. Happy listening!

eyeLike: Artist Spotlight Young Flame

When I was told that I should put this video by Bronx rapper, Young Flame, on my blog I must admit I was skeptical. I thought that he would just be one of the typical guys out there trying to rap and had no potential at all, but when I took a look at the video below (Escape to Happiness), it grabbed my attention.

Young Flame is rapper and entrepreneur. He is the co-founder of WreckHouse Studio, which grew off of the profits of a successful house party. Young Flame's sound on this track "Escape to Happiness" featuring EL-P is different -- it reminds me of a mix between Lupe and Talib Kweli. The track has a real feel good sound to it and makes you want to "run away" from any problems that might be going on in your life. If he keeps making music like this, I'm sure his day in the industry will come! I look forward to hearing more, but for now make sure you check out the video below, Happy Watching!


You can hear more or contact Young Flame via YouTube, Twitter and Myspace. What do you think of his video...Do you like it or love it?

eyeReview: Fabolous' "Loso's Way"

Fabolous has been in the game for a minute (eight years to be exact) and has been one of the most consistent rappers in the game until now. He's definitely raised his own bar with the release of his last album, "From Nothin' to Somethin'" (2007), and today I'm sure he done it again with his new album "Loso's Way" (inspired from gangster film "Carlito's Way").

The punchlines in his verses are crazy and he defintely collaborated with the right people on this one. The plot of "Carlito's Way" was the inspiration for the theme of the album and Fabolous's own life in a way that can't help but seem self-aggrandizing. Both Carlito and Fabolous went to jail, both had babies on the way and both were shot, except Carlito was murdered in a hail of gunfire and Fabolous once got shot in the thigh, which hardly even counts, and besides, when was the last time you heard of a gangster named Fabolous?

When "Loso's Way" abandons its concept-album pretensions, which is most of the time, it winds up being a much-better-than-average hip-hop-soul disc. Fabolous deftly manages to conflate personal songs about love and family life with boilerplate gangsta-in-the-club tracks.

"Loso's Way" can't help but be defined by its dizzying array of scene-stealing guest stars, many of whom threaten to bury the low-key Fabolous under their wattage: Lil Wayne shows up for the martial like, "Juno"-referencing "Salute"; Jay-Z himself contributes to the standard banger "Money Goes, Honey Stay (When the Money Goes remix)," a track that began its life as an "American Gangster" outtake; The-Dream contributes to "Throw It in the Bag," a rollicking ode to either shopping or shoplifting; and "Makin' Love" features a showy assist by Ne-Yo, as all '09 bedroom jams apparently must.


Fab is giving these other artists a run for their money. I would definitely suggest that you go out and cop the album!

eyePoll Results: Have It All or Know It All?

When it comes to having any and everything that your heart desires, I guess that beats the desire to have knowledge. According to the poll that, 55% of you said that you would rather have it all than to know it all. I would somewhat agree, but then I start to think that maybe if you knew it all you could use that to your advantage as a way to get all that you desire.

For those of you who voted, or didn't, I'm interested in hearing why you chose the answer you did.

eyeYeyeYeye: Kim & Reggie Break Up

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush appeared to have a fairytale relationship -- but in Hollywood, there often isn’t a happily ever after. Fans were shocked by the announcement on Monday that the two had amicably split, although according to a source close to the pair it wasn’t such a surprise.
“It’s been rocky for a little while now,” said our insider. They both have contracts on separate sides of the country and it was too much. They used to see each other every couple of weeks, but Kim’s brand is much bigger than it was last season.”

Breakups happen everyday and although Reg and Kim made a great couple (in the world's eyes), at some point or another, all good things come to an end. Who knows, maybe they'll get back together at some point, but this breakup may be good for them. From watching "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" I feel like Kim isn't ready to spare enough of her time to really be committed on the relationship. I understand that sacrifice goes both ways, but then again a football career can be gone at any given moment. It's important that sacrifices are made on both ends if you want the relationship to last.

effFriday: Belated TOAST TO REPOST "Do We Make Ourselves Love"

I know my "TOAST TO REPOST" IS LATE BUT IT'S HERE NONE-THE-LESS! I'm still interested to see what you all have to say about my eyeAsk question; which is "Do We Make Ourselves Love?". If you read this post before, reread it and maybe you will have a better understanding, thought, or insight on the topic in general! Happy reading.

This question has been heavy on my mind for a while. I know that love is one of the most powerful words and it can evoke a ton of emotions, actions, and just things in general when used. But sometimes I can't help but to think that people make themselves love or fall in love with others. It may not be a bad thing, but is love just supposed to happen naturally? God wants us to love our brothers and sisters, and everyone else in the world, but how are we supposed to do that? That is a rhetorical question and I could go on and on about that topic so I'll save it for another blog.

I think a lot of times people get fixated with people when they tell them that they love them. For example, if you're in a relationship and the person tells you that they love you or that they're in love with you, what do you say? What do you do? If you're not on the same level as them you may tell them that, but then I think something happens where you start to think like "wow they love me, should I love them" and it's just like love smacks you in the face. So eventually you end up loving that person, and it may not be because you are truly in love with them, but maybe because they told you and you just felt that it would be easier to love them since they love you. I think that people telling you they love you also speeds up your process of getting to know them or you just "skip steps" just to get to that point.

I don't know if I'm coming off clear here at all, but I hope someone understands where I'm coming from. I think the same thing can go for family as well. I feel that people think that they should automatically love their mother, father, and just family in general because that's their family. I don't feel like that should be the case, because although you may have been brought into this family with love and support in the things you do, sometimes I feel like it's hard to do so. I personally don't love a lot of people in my family, and I have been told "I love you" from about two to three people in my family in my whole life. This makes it hard for me to love others because when you've never been told I love you, you start to wonder and then after a while you just get used to it.

I believe that when people aren't loved and feel like they don't need to love anyone who doesn't love them, they reach out to other outlets; for instance, they may have a boyfriend/girlfriend and just make themselves love that person because they are giving them something they aren't getting at home. I think a lot of girls that you would classify as "fast" or "a joint" would agree with me on that one. These girls do whatever it is a guy wants just to get some love and attention when they should be getting it from home. At this point in my life I'm fine with not loving people, especially in my family, and in result, I have welcomed people in my life that mean more than what my real family means to me. They know that I love them and I know they love me, not only because we say it, but we show it too. There's so much more to life and to love than what they world makes it seem. Love is deep and if you don't know or have to second guess if someone's in love or loves you, then it's not love.


I'm interested in hearing your opinions. What do you think?
