Open Air: Rihanna – “Rude Boy” Preview
Come again?
Gold Star For You: Maia Campbell
The internet joined hands to form a prayer circle around Maia Campbell when disturbing footage of the ‘In The House’ actress made its way around the blogosphere last year. After spending time in a rehab facility it now appears that she is sober and ready to move on with her life.
The photographer who snapped the above flick of her shopping on Melrose Ave. tells The YBF: “There was no sign of her being high, and she was carrying a bag of Miss Jessie’s hair care products. She looked to be fully on the road to recovery with the drug abuse as a thing of the past. Normally, she is unwilling to take pictures, but she was more than cooperative and happy to do so this time around.”
The shutterbug also added that “she smelled good.” Yeah. While that would go down as straight up shade in my book [momofuka what did she smell like before?] I will perform a holy ghost jig and pretend that wasn’t said.
R. Kelly Is Still Trapped In The Closet
I will never forget listening to the entire Trapped In The Closet series on the radio [don't ask me how they pulled that one off] in 2007 while driving back home to Georgia from enjoying a night full of hot hoe shit at a club across the border in Florida. Being a designated driver comes with all kinds of great perks, see?
In a Twitvid posted recently, the Pied Pisser says that he has just completed 15 chapters of his ghetto opera and plans on releasing them only if the public wants to hear. The way I see it is if we can put up with Nicki Minaj’s audio hysterics we might as well give Arah’s a listen. More midget strippers with chicken drumette thighs > everything.
You Sent It: Black Soul History

You did me one solid by giving me that Bitter Vibes blog (RIP) info a few yrs ago so in short, I don’t forget folks.
The audio is barely OK and the vid kind of sucks being it’s from 1983 and I’m sure Prince will find a way to get this off YouTube for good.
Anyway, for anyone who had doubts about Prince being on that stuff in the 80s (like I did), here’s a clip.

Freeze Frame: Cake Bawse
You may be satisfied with being presented with a simple ice cream cake on your born day but that just won’t do when you are the cot damn Bawse. Served with warm breast milk, this work of confectionery art landed in the mouths of hungry Miami women over the weekend. Do you want a taste?
Buzz Notes: Andre Leon Talley Wants To Be On Top
Ruining the dreams of anorexic models was his calling card. Andre Leon Talley and his velvet peep toe slippers will replace Miss J. Alexander as the resident geigh of color on 3 upcoming cycles of America’s Next Top Model. Are you ready to breathe again?
Though he’d never watched “Top Model,” he had “no hesitations at all.” Nor did his Vogue boss, Anna Wintour. “Her reaction,” said Talley, “was, ‘Fine, André. Just let me know when you’re going to do it and how it’s going.’” (Reached for comment, Wintour said through her spokesman, “André is always onto new things on television, and I think his latest adventure sounds like a lot of fun and I look forward to watching him on the program.”)
