“My mother’s dream to sing, is fulfilled in me, my father’s dream of songwriting, is fulfilled in me, my great-grandmother’s dream to act, is fulfilled in me and my uncle’s dream to be a guitarist is fulfilled in me! I am my family’s dream. The physical manifestation of their dreams.”

I wouldn’t have been in stan ordinance if I didn’t post these pictures of Erykah Badu performing at The 26th Annual Martin Luther King Concert Series in Brooklyn. Stop trying to get a peak at her nips!
Frankie celebrated her birthday with a star studded party [heh] in Atlanta on Sunday night. Here’s the scoop via Rahiem Shabazz:
Last night, I ventured out to party it up and found myself at one of the hottest parties in the “A”. I ended up at R&B sensation Keyshia Cole’s mother Frankie’s Birthday party, along with Calvin Evans of Exclusive Photography. According to early press reports, the charismatic Frankie promised that her party will be “a man-down situation-code 10” affair. In other words, it will be off the chain.
No sooner than I got there, I heard a thunderous roar as Ms. Frankie entered the building. The event was exclusively hosted by radio personality Porsche Foxx of V-103. Power Entertainment taped the event for a new reality show called Holla: I’m just Frankie!
Considering the response she received, it is no question Frankie is on her way to becoming a media darling.
Frankie got her wig push back in the second picture - - literally. Now that’s what I call a party. Thanks Razzi!
Slickback Ivanhoe has been enjoying plenty of pank dranks and cancer sticks during his time in Italy. The actor / musician is currently in the city of Ischia for the 2008 Global Film & Music Fest. View flicks from earlier this week of his royal slickness getting wet with his kids after the jump.
“I’ve never been so disgusted in all of my life. There is no other place I used to enjoy more. I post nowhere else. You guys have taken an all time low, tho . . . If this post is not clear, kiss my placenta.” - - Erykah Badu gives the members of OkayPlayer a piece of her mind after reading comments about her impending pregnancy
If I were on some internet self-glorification shit I would take credit for being the first to report the rumor but that’s not my style. Who does that?! Random flicks of Erykah performing after the cut.
MAN DOWN! MAN DOWN! The magically delicious woman who spawned Keyshia Cole enjoyed a little ATL night life on Friday at a mansion party for Seattle Seahawks player Deon Grant and Charles Mathes Jr. I hope security checked her purse on her way out.
Frankie has EBT Black Carpet correspondent written all over her. The only time I tune into the channel is to admire Terrence J.’s shoe game on 106 and watch re-runs of The Steve Harvery Show, but I could be persuaded to give the network more of my precious ratings if they gave my girl some real solo face time.
Close your eyes and magine what the expression on Beyaki’s face would be like if they tapped Frankie F. Baby to interview her for a press junket. Amazing ain’t it? Hit up Genius Hates Company for more flicks from the party.

As previously reported, Erykah Badu is the new face for Tom Ford’s fragance for women, White Patchouli. “For this project, I wanted to reinvent patchouli . . . I loved the idea of mixing patchouli with white florals. We used patchouli orpur, which takes out some of the darker, smoky notes of patchouli. We mixed that with peony, bergamot, and jasmine,” said Ford.
The good news doesn’t stop there folks. According to a MySpace bullentin posted by the singer, she is also set to her release her own brand of New Amerykah rolling papers. You really can’t make this shit up. Hopefully she will package both and release it as an exclusive smoke + mask set. Thanks FJC for thel ink!

This is my Mrs. Jenkins [next to Gaymonn, of course], so nobody better say anything bad! I’ll post a video video blog with tears running down my face like Bow Wow if I read one unsettling comment. I really mean it.
Erykah wore one of Fred G. Sanford’s old bingo night suits while performing at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday. Can your favorite 106 & Park phenom do that and get away with it? I don’t think so.
I wrote an affirmation down and put it in my bible that she jumps on the supa-dupa-deluxe remix to “Bust It Baby.” I mean, Janet did. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
