Instagram of the Week: @PuppiesForAll


LATROY LOVES THE PUPS!

I mean who doesn't love PUPPIES?! I remember being followed on Instagram one day by this puppies account and after going through their photos of the most precious beautiful PUPPIES, I gave an instant follow back immediately. Which is why i'm making @PuppiesForAll Instagram of the Week! I have two dogs in my household, two of which who aren't PUPPIES anymore. I own a female Shih-Tzu and my little brother owns a male Dachshund, they both get a long when they feel like it. 

But there's nothing like having a new born PUPPY around in your home. PUPPIES are the most loving, caring and playful pets to ever want, as they grow up they become everything to you like how we all need oxygen to survive, that's what PUPPIES can do to one person. If you're someone interested in looking to follow other Instagram accounts besides your family, friends and celebrities, I suggest you follow @PuppiesForAll, hey aren't dogs a family's best companion?!

New Music: Tiffany Evans '143' Mixtape


Everyone's favorite childhood star is back but this time doing music HER way! YES! The incomparable voice Miss Tiffany Evans returns to the music scene after having her daughter just last year and this time she's giving us some feel good RnB music. Her newest mixtape which was released yesterday '143' is a collection of love songs to set the mode for this coming Valentine's Day (tomorrow). 

'143' sounds way different than any of Tiffany's previous works under a major recording label, I guess because she was over doing the kiddie pre-teenie bop music and wanted to make some feel good music for the LADIES. Tiffany's voice sounds much more richer than it did before, I guess it's true what they say after a woman has her first child, life completely changes for her in all aspects. After hearing the mixtape you can definitely hear Tiffany has grown up to a beautiful young woman. 

If you love the old original Destiny's Child music then you will definintely love this mixtape, '143' has that sounds mixed with some old school RnB flavor. Tiffany has refused to go with the pop-techno route and is sticking to what works for that God gifting lovely voice of hers. A fan favorite "If You Love Me" a powerful ballad Tiffany released last year that showcased her vocals to the extreme appears on this mixtape as well as my favorites "Lois Lane", "143(I Love You)", "U Got A Woman", "Do Better" and "I Ride 4 U".

I GIVE THIS MIXTAPE: 5 out of 5 STARS!!!

My Favorite 2013 Grammy Looks!



I hope you all enjoyed the Grammy's this past Sunday night, I know I did; well the incredible outfit choices the celebrities decided to wear was my favorite part. If you didn't know the Grammy's issued a "STRICT" dress code that prevented artists from wearing any outrageous and revealing dresses, garments and things of that nature. Shockingly, the celebs decided not to cross the lines with the Grammys and went elegant. 

Here are a few of my favorite looks from music's big night of the year:

The performances will be a star studded event of those who will take the stage as well as presenters. Performers who are scheduled to rip the stage are:

The lineup seems like no other award show will top it this year in 2013. I'm looking forward to Justin Timberlake and Rihanna's performances. Rihanna has a special surprise for her performance and it looks like she'll be performing alongside the Marley's.
What's even more exciting about this years Grammy's are the nominees, looks like the Grammy's have been listening to the people's opinions and have decided to nominate REAL ARTISTS and their work. Check out some of the artists that are up for a Grammy, maybe more than one. 

Beyonce Is GONE WITH THE WIND FABULOUS Hunny!


Okay so if you watched a few weeks ago episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, then you know where i'm getting at with this. 1993 Ms.USA Kenya Moore def is showing her ASS this season from stating how FABULOUS she is and how people mistake her for BEYONCE (0_o) RIGHT!

But who would have known that our KING BEY would even take notice in such reality TV shows? Clearly she's watching while we all are watching at the same time. After Beyonce's SuperBowl Halftime Show, she and fellow members of Destiny's Child Kelly and Michelle, were spotted leaving the stadium being quickly being asked by an interviewer how they felt after their performance and well, Beyonce had the following to say...

DID YOU GET YOUR LIFE TOO?!

EVERYDAY LIES - Episode 1: "Where's The Money?"

Has Toni Braxton's Love For Music Come To An End?


It's sad to hear when one of your musical influences is quitting music.

It's true everybody, Toni Braxton is pulling the plug on music; she's saying her hearts not into anymore. Today Toni Braxton sat with Wendy Williams and talked everything from her Lupus illness,  two sons, Braxton Family Values season 3, new LifeTime movie airing tomorrow night titled Twist of Faith, pulling the plug on music and DATING

Take A Look


Toni Braxton is a six time Grammy award winning multi-platnium recording megastar of all time, do you think she should pull the plug on her singing career? 

Are The Braxton's Way More Popular Than The Kardashians?


THOSE BRAXTONS HAS US WRAPPED AROUND OUR FINGERS!!!

Though both shows are on two totally opposite cable network stations Braxton Family Vaules (WEtv) and Keeping Up With The Kardashians (E!), people just can't seem to get enough of the reality TV families. The Kardashian sisters Kourtney, Kim and Khloe all bring in ratings with their over the top high profiled drama while songstresses Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina and Tamar brings drama, love, laughter and humility as each sister tries to differentiate themselves from just being labeled Toni Braxton's sister. 

The shows are the number one most watched shows on their network pulling in millions of viewers each week as a new episode airs. Keeping Up With The Kardashians is now on its 8th season while Braxton Family Values is gearing up to gives us their third season airing March 14th. Spin-offs have been created from both shows like we have had Kourtney & Khloe: Take Miami (seasons 1 and 2), Khloe & Lamar, Kourtney and Kim: Take New York (seasons 1 and 2) and Kourtney and Kim: Take Miami which are all doing tremendously well and on the Braxton side of things, the breakout star, Tamar and her multi-millionaire husband, manager and record executive Vincent Herbert have got their spin off Tamar and Vince which have brought in a whopping 2 million viewers last year.

Braxton Family Values just might be the new hit reality TV family to be because WEtv has ordered 24 hour long episodes for the third season which is way more than the Kardashians had their third season (12 episodes). The Kardashian empire is greater of the Braxton's but the numbers show and they do not lie, people are more drawn to the Braxtons more than anything. I love and enjoy both shows and families but I could relate to the Braxtons more than I could of the Kardashians. There never seems to be anything fishy when it comes to the Braxtons, they let the cat out of the bag as to when you hear the Kardashians strip down to 100, we're left thinking is this a publicity stunt or is this for fake?! 

Who Do You Think Is More Popular?
