Oh My Sunday! I woke up this morning in a Sade kinda mood. I played her greatest hits CD and knew I had to post one of her songs for my love muffins. There were plenty of her popular songs that I could have chosen but I’ve always been a fan of the more obscure. Although this song was as popular as some of her others (Kiss Of Life, Smooth Operator, Your Love Is King, etc.), this is probably my favorite song of hers. While the Lyrics are simple, they say so much!

I won’t pretend that I intend to stop living
I won’t pretend I’m good at forgiving
But I can’t hate you
Although I have tried
MMMM

I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
MM MM MM MM MM

Sitting here wasting my time
Would be like
Waiting for the sun to rise
It’s all too clear things come and go
Sitting here waiting for you
Would be like waiting for winter
It’s gonna be cold
There may even
Be snow

And just for kicks, here is one of favorite renditions done by Rahsaan Patterson (if you don’t know who he is, you’re really missing out). To remake such a classic song is difficult but he’s the only one I’ve heard that has done it justice and made it his own. I’ve ripped the audio into an mp3 if you like what you hear. Check it out!

This is exactly why I love Chris Crocker so much! I so agree with him that there is so much gay hate on Youtube, it’s just disgusting! And for the record, I love Chris Crocker on many different levels but most of all for being who God made him to be! I don’t understand why people try to make everything into a competition, I have said it before and I will say it again – there’s room enough for all of us! God bless you Chris Crocker because I know how hard it is for people like us to live in this world! Take us higher lord! (Sidebar – doesn’t he have the most beautiful blue eyes!)

OMG! I am so happy right now. Tonight Whitney Houston made an appearance at Clive Davis’ annual Pre-Grammy Party and looked stunning. This is the best I’ve seen her look in a long time. She looks healthy and happy and I’m so excited. It finally looks like a Whitney comeback is in the cards! Now it’s time to go play “I’m Every Woman” on full blast!

Alicia Keys – Graceful and Elegant

Lindsay Lohan – Clean and Sober! Let’s hope it sticks.

Ashanti – Love the dress but when I first saw this picture I thought she had left her curlers in. Is it just me or is she starting to look like Janet Jackson?

Fergie – Ever since she got engaged, she’s had this glow!

Fantasia – I could do a “Color Purple” joke like “You Sho Is…” but I won’t. I love me some Fantasia but she must know she is wrong for that hair and makeup – cute dress though.

Carrie Underwood – She always looks fabulous to me!

Janet Jackson – Standing by her man.

Paula Abdul – Grandma, Is that you? (OK that was mean but damn!)

Rihanna – That face and hair are flawless, but I don’t know about that dress!

According to Mariahdaily.com, Mariah Carey is shooting the music video to “Touch My Body” over this weekend – February 9th and 10th in an undisclosed location in Los Angeles, California. Below are the details currently known to us about the video shoot:

The director of the video is Brett Ratner who previously directed “I Still Believe”, “Heartbreaker”, “Thank God I Found You”, “It’s Like That” and “We Belong Together”. Auditions were held for some parts in the video on Wednesday, February 6 in Santa Monica. One of the roles required a “geeky” looking guy. Actor Jack McBrayer, known for his role as Kenneth on NBC’s 30 Rock will be appearing in the video.

The divas better be coming out in full force – I just love Mariah, Whitney & Janet so much! Work it out ladies!

Brit-Brit got her dance on again at Millennium Dance Studio in North Hollywood last night, seemingly calm and focused. I really hope her parents have her best interest in mind and are guiding her back to a healthy mental state. That’s right Brit-Brit take your problems to the dance floor and reconnect with your spirit/talent! Lord knows I wish I could be her friend, I would hook her right on up!

First, Jamie Spears was allowed to change the locks, and now he has the go-ahead to start cleaning house. A court commissioner has granted Britney’s dad the authority to fire her business manager, Howard Grossman. The “Toxic” songstress had been trying to have Grossman installed as her temporary conservator, along with Northern Trust Bank, but according to court documents released Friday, her presumably soon to be ex-employee has been ordered to turn “all documents, records and assets relating to Britney Spears” over to Jamie. The decision appears to have been made Thursday during an emergency hearing on a motion filed by Jamie’s coconservator, attorney Andrew Wallett.
