I just love Mariah Carey. I am so proud of her. I am happy to see that she has atlast covered up that lovely body of hers. It makes the imagination run wild, when you make the public wonder what it looks like uncovered. You can’t just flaunt it all over the place….all of the time. Choose the right time, and that will make your fans gasp. Wow, did you see that outfit.
Paris Hilton is just making people sick on the stomach. She’s everywhere. It’s just so “South Park.”
First of all, ya’ll, John Legend is off tha hook! I mean, I heard him on a radio station in Boston about a month before his album came out and even then I knew he was hot. So hot, that I waited in line the morning his album came out! (and ya’ll, I don’t do that for no-body!) So, congrats to John for the nomination but we all know he’s taking them all home!
First of all my peoples. I got to give it to Chi towns finest Kanye West. Cause his music is just so inspiring like he said his music is like an medicine it makes people feel good. cause at first i quit listening to rap fo a while cause they been playing the same damn thang ova and ova talkin bout drugs and jewlry. But Kanye’s different he changed hip hop. Thats why he got most nominees. So keep doing ya thang Kanye!
