Pic: Erykah Badu, India Arie, and Brandy

This is a picture of three beautifully talented singers- Erykah Badu, India Arie, and Brandy. They were at an event together a few hours ago, and decided to take this picture. I love all three of them. Brandy kinda looks different though. I wonder what she's been up to.





Hot Pic of Brandy

R&B legend, Brandy shared this hot picture of herself on her Facebook page yesterday. She looks pretty good for a 36 year old lady.





Pic of Yo-Yo, MC Lyte, Brandy, and Queen Latifah 20 Years After

Men! I remember it like it was yesterday. I had always loved the mellow feel of Brandy's I Wanna Be Down, the she dropped the remix with three female rappers on it...Yo-Yo, MC Lyte, and Quuen Latifah. Yesterday, Brandy was on Queen Latifah's show, and they discussed the collaboration. The picture below is a collage of a pic they took twenty years ago, and the one they took yesterday. Spot the difference...they are standing in the same position as they were twenty years ago.





Brandy Speaks On Engagement

Last week, the world got to know of Brandy's engagement to long time boyfriend, Ryan Press. This is great news, cos I am a fan of her music, and she sings about her heartbreaks and all alot of the time. I know how complicated the love life of artisst that write or sing about love can be. I know that cos I write love stories, and...Anyway, I wont want to sidetrack you with my story, just check out what the beautiful songstress, Brandy had to say about getting engaged.








Speaking with PopStopTV on New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas, Brandy described her reaction to Ryan asking her to marry him.
“It was a surprise but I felt something was going to happen. But it was definitely a surprise because your imagination does the actual moment no justice. I said ‘oh my God’ so many times I forgot to say ‘yes.’”








A beaming Brandy also shared how happy she is now.

“I’m very happy. I’m definitely on cloud 11. At one point I gave up on love, so to have this feeling, and for it to feel like the first time and with the person I feel God has created for me to be with, is just magical. I want it to stay like this.”
As for a wedding, Brandy and Ryan plan to keep it in Los Angeles so more of their family and friends can attend their nuptials.
“We have a lot of homies that probably won’t come if we do a destination wedding, so we want to keep it as local as possible. Haven’t set a date yet, but I’ve definitely been imagining it and thinking about what it’s going to be like so I’m gonna get started.”
Brandy also spoke on the news of Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy and offered parenting advice to her and boyfriend Kanye West.
“I’m very happy for Kim and happy for Kanye. I was looking at pictures of them online and they just look so happy.
“I think the key to being a good parent is to remember you were once a child. When you have that perspective, everything flows.” (freesworld.com)

The Life And Times Of Kim Kardashian...Before Kanye West

I realized how intertwined Kim Kardashian's life is in the music industry, and the whole American social circle, and I thought it would be cool to give people a glimpse of her life before she got popular...or infamous. Kim was born and raised in L.A, California; so, you understand now why she loves the camera so much. She was born on October 21st 1980, to parents- Robert Kardashian (Defence Attorney), and Kris Kardashian. Kim's father was actually on O.J Simpson's defence team back when O.J caught the murder case in 1994. The couple divorced in 1990, and Kris Kardashian married Bruce Jenner the following year, and she became Mrs.Kris Jenner.





In 1998, Kim graduated from Marymount Highschool, located in Holmby Hills/Bel Air. She got married 2 years later to music producer, Damon Thomas when she was just 19. They got a divorce in 2004. I'm sure a lot of people don't know that Kim Kardashian was once Mrs. Kim Thomas.










In 2004, after her divorce, she became a stylist for Brandy. She also worked other assistant roles for several other celebrities, including being a shopper for Lindsay Lohan. As she got into the whole Hollywood lifestyle, she met and started dating Brandy's brother (Ray-J), around the mid 2000s. Later a sex tape with both of them in it surfaced in 2007. She sued Vivid Entertainment (the company that put the sex tape out there), and she got an out-of court settlement of $5 million. WOW! Is that serious cash or what?









In the same year the sex tape came out, she began dating New Orleans Saints running back, Reggie Bush. And that same year, she got a contract for a TV Series titled, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, with E! Network. The show stared/stars her other sister's Kourtney & Khloe; her brother, Rob; her mother, Kris, and her step father, Bruce Jenner. It has had various other spin-offs like- Kourtney and Kim Take New York. She and her sisters used their new found fame to open a clothing boutique called DASH in 2008- the first one was in L.A, but they now have outlets in New York, and Miami.




Kim has numerous other business ventures- she has released 5 fragrances to date. In her personal life, she dated Reggie Bush on and off from 2007-2010. She flirted with Kanye West around 2010, but her sister (Khloe) said in an interview that it was nothing serious, and that the two were just sleeping together. She started dating Kris Humphries some time in 2011, and he proposed marriage to her 6 months later. They got married on August 20 2011, and 72 days later, on October 31, Kim Filed for divorce.








A couple of weeks later, she was seen in various locations with Kanye West, and the two have been an item since then. I should add that earlier this year, Kim and the rest of the Kardashians got a new contract with E! Network for their Keeping Up The Kardashians TV show to keep airing on the TV network...the deal was worth $40 million...the highest payment for any TV series in history.





























First Week Sales Projections Of Brandy's Two Eleven Album

Brandy's 6th album, Two Eleven just dropped, and based on first day sales, it is projected to sell between 65-70k copies first week. This was what I had in mind that she would sell, so I think the numbers are not bad for someone that doesn't have a very big single on radio right now, and has been away for a while. Her last album, Human was released 4 years ago. Brandy has got crazy talent, and I put her at second place after Mariah Carey in the r&b genre (my personal list), but she hasn't really been consistent, so these numbers are not bad at all.
