Getting gorgeous shouldn’t be a task and certainly shouldn’t take you hours. It should be fun and easy–for heaven’s sake we’ve got shopping to do, right! Save yourself a headache and use these tips to look fab in minutes.

1. H2O: The remedy to healthier skin is simple: Drink more water. Keep a water bottle filled at your desk so you remember to sip regularly. Trade out your daily coffee or soda for some delish herbal tea. Dehydration starts in your skin.
2. Shimmer: Bronzer is your bff. Add it to the inner corners of your eyes, cheekbones and brow bone for a quick glowing beauty boost. This will definitely help hide the stress of the day.
3. Refresh: I recently found a mist of spray toner. The beauty benefits are endless. Mainly to keep your skin hydrated under all that makeup.
4. Sleep: Never enough hours in the day but it’s true. More sleep or even a nap mean much healthier complexion. Challenge yourself to get to bed 30 minutes at less two times a week.
5. Stand up straight: Besides the fact that slouching is a sign of your lack of confidence, your clothes will hang much better giving you an instant boost of gorgeousness.
6. Open Your Eyes: Never leave home without putting on your mascara– it’s a girl’s best friend when it comes to getting gorgeous in a hurry. Get into the nightly habit of curling your lashes to further the length. You can also add a double coat of mascara to really make your eyes pop.
7. Upgrade your lippy game: Step outside of your normal blak gloss and insert a hot red or vampy purple to your face. You’ll spend all day looking at your renewed face and I’m sure a few heads will turn too.

I don’t know if your mother told you this, but there’s nothing better than a black woman! Our radiant, sun-kissed skin and our thick coarse hair that twists and locks into diverse styles…The way we hold our man down during the hardest of times, while raising the children, holding a steady job and do it all with an unprecedented poise… A black woman’s strength is unparalleled and a silent aphrodisiac to all those who come in contact with it. Only a black woman can cry on the inside and smile with pearly whites on the exterior. It is a gift handed down to use from generation upon generation. And finally, the sex…

There’s a famous scene in “Harlem Nights” where a character named Richie, who is lying in bed after being intimate with Sunshine, sheds a tear then calls his wife and tells her: “I ain’t never coming home no more.” Plenty of men have dared hike the bountiful curves and luxurious waves of a black woman’s body. As you can see, once you go black…

Model Gabriel Aubry, can be seen walking through the hills of Hollywood with a small nugget underneath his right eye. What happened to him? He came in contact with Halle Berry’s current boyfriend/actor Oliver Martinez. According to reports, Aubry swung first on Martinez resulting in him being used as a punching bag. (Click here, for photos) Only the love of a black woman will make you go that crazy!

Meanwhile, Fox weatherman Geoff Fox, got fired from his job after he posted these explicit messages on his mistresses (who happens to be black) Facebook account:

“Get on top of me and hump me Zoel/ sit on my __/ and slide yourself up and down/ while you do I’ll rub your __/ because I want to feel your __ get tight around my __/ I want you to come for me/ you are my erotic fantasy girl exotic/ I want to hear you call my name/I want your muscles to go tight”

Someone’s thirsty for the blackberry!!!!

Kim Kardashian and Pink!!!!

Who knew Kim Kardashian and Pink had similar tastes in formal wear? Kardashian was spotted wearing a purple-blue, floor-length Catherine Deane gown in Miami this past month, while Pink chose the same style for her red-carpet appearance at the 2012 American Music Awards. Who rocked the chic style best?

Fans of R. Kelly's "Trapped In The Closet" series had plenty to be thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend when the crooner launched a new part of his epic hip-hopera. In Part 3, which aired on IFC November 23, a dapper R. Kelly begins by singing: "Everybody's got a closet and their problems that need solving...What goes around comes back around."

The twisted plot line brings back fan favorites like Tron and Rufus. We don't want to give away the masterful plot or spoil the melodrama, but we will say that we did quite enjoy Kellz playing a stuttering Pimp Lucius as well as singing from the perspective of his female characters. He also takes on new roles like Beeno, the mobster, and a marriage counselor. Oh yeah, we still have no clue what the mysterious "package" is.

Can't get enough of the shorts? Kellz has hinted that he may take the show to Broadway. "Some of the cities, I can't guarantee all of them, and that's what's being negotiated right now because it takes a lot of time to do these chapters — I'm the only one in the studio writing these chapters."

In August Kellz told MTV News that 30 new chapters had already been penned. "I'm so glad to know there are a lot of fans still waiting to find out what the package is, and I'm coming, you guys," he said. "In four weeks, I just did 30 chapters of 'Trapped in the Closet' and I'm proud of it; I'm very excited about it because it took on a life of its own. It took me over."

Wish you all a Happy Sunday, enjoy your loved ones, don't take any of your loved ones for granted.

Peace&Love to all.

Zoe Saldana was captured at a newsstand checking out magazines amidst the growing controversy of her new role as Nina Simone in the upcoming biopic. When the 34-year-old actress revealed that she would be playing Nina Simone, controversy began, with critics questioning Saldana as the choice for lead actress.

Many claim that the "Avatar" actress (who is Dominican and Puerto Rican) is not “dark skinned enough” to play the legendary jazz singer the Daily Mail reports.

It seems as if Zoe has embraced the role, judging from pictures on set. The actress was captured wearing a short Afro wig and what looks like a prosthetic nose. She also looked like she had slightly darker make-up on in the pictures.

In response to these pictures, a petition has surfaced online asking filmmakers to cast someone more suitable for the role.

Even songstress India Arie wrote on her website: "YES they should have chosen someone who LOOKS like Nina Simone, ESPECIALLY since her RACE played such a PIVOTAL role in WHO, WHAT and WHY, she was. THAT ASIDE for a second, this just looks WEIRD, it looks like a person in Black(er) face with a fake nose … REALLY?!!!!"  via Global Grind.
Many people are questioning Saldana’s Dominican and Puerto Rican background and wondering if she is the right choice for this role.
