TASTY TUESDAY: SUNNY'S CEREAL CONFETTI COOKIES

PHOTO CREDIT: FOOD NETWORK

Tis' the season to stock your dining room with christmas cookies delight. 

The holidays are all about tasty treats and satisfying meals. I'm one who loves to have a little bit of treats in a jar or bin to help bring in the holiday spirit when I'm not cooking. I've always been a cookie type of guy. Especially chocolate chip and sugar cookies. 

I came across Food Network's own Sunny Anderson's beautifully presented 'Sunny's Cereal Confetti Cookies' and I just thought I had to share with you all. The fact that it's already sugar cookies but with a bit of Fruity Pebbles cereal (which happens to be my favorite) just got me excited to bake and try. 

I incorporated M&Ms in my chocolate chip cookies but I never once thought to add cereal to the mix. I can't wait to try the cookies once I bake them and share them with you all. Have you ever done this before? What type of treats do you keep around during the holidays?

NICKI MINAJ 'THE PINKPRINT' TRACKLISTING

Slated for a December 15th release date, Nicki Minaj yesterday released the official track listing for her third album and might we say the features on this album just might make it album of the year come 2015. Nicki teams back up with Ariana Grande, Lil Wayne, Drake, Chris Brown, Beyoncé and more this third time around. Only thing is most of the songs are the singles that have been released already. I wish there were more songs on this album. 

NEW VIDEO: TREY SONGZ FEAT. NICKI MINAJ "TOUCHIN, LOVIN"

You have never seen an interactive video such as the one you're about to see! 

Trey Songz dropped the engaging visual for his new video "Touching, Lovin" feat. Nicki Minaj yesterday and this video is nothing like we've ever gotten from Trigga himself. This video invites us into his wildest fantasies. 

In the video it's your destiny to choose which fantasy sequence Trey  goes on from a selection of hand pick gorgeous women. Nicki Minaj does serve in the video as the main sexy seductress. However, if you thought soft porn was wasn't intense then you'd might want to coin question this video. The elements of the video are sexually appetizing I shall say. 

Who knew Trey Songz had such a wild animalistic fantasy?! If you want to know what I'm talking try taking your own conquest in Trey Songz's new video for "Touchin,Lovin".

COMING SOON: THE REAL LATAVIA (A MINI WEB SERIES)

As if R&B Divas: Atlanta wasn't a great enough platform to showcase who she is. 

Original Destiny's Child member LaTavia Roberson, earlier this year appeared on TVOne's 'R&B DIVAS: Atlanta' and gave us NOTHING. We hardly got to know who LaTavia really is besides being a new single mother and friend to the ladies of the cast. Latvia barely sang on any of the episodes unless the ladies forced her to, which she was hesitant then. 

LaTavia, last week dropped a trailer to what seems to be a "reality show" web series on YouTube about who she is, what she does, learning all the rumors up and her reasoning as to why she doesn't sing when asked or invited to. I don't have a problem with LaTavia and this web series, but you were given a major platform to showcase all of that and you didn't execute. Now you want another chance to prove who you are?

Hmm, I don't know about this one. I know I'll be watching just to see what LaTavia will give. I've been rooting for her ever since her departure from Destiny's Child. The woman can sing, I just don't know why she shuns herself from the world so tightly. The trailer is a bit funny to watch though.

ERICA MENA TATTOOS BOW WOW'S NAME ON HER!!!

Bow Wow took to his Facebook account to post a picture of him and his new fiancé Erica Mena, to announce how she's a real ride or die chick by getting his name tatted on her. The photo's caption by Bow Wow (Shad Moss) reads: "Love this woman so much! She You know its real when the ink dry. Tatted my name so i know its real! Saturday's w/ the misses!". If all it takes is a tattoo to show loyalty and love then where do I sign up to get my family member's names tatted on me?!

Erica Mena, is no stranger when it comes to tattooing her man's name on her body. This isn't shocking news nor is it a jaw dropper. Remember when she got Rich Dollaz name tatted on her hand on an episode of 'Love and Hip Hop' just last year? Then she got it covered up on VH1's 'Black Ink'. No photo of the tattoo has been posted yet, but stay tuned because I will be one of the first to post it.

The show was a star studded event from performances from Chris Brown, Tinashe, Kem, Ledisi, Stephanie Mills, Tamar Braxton, Tank, Elle Varner, Missy Elliot, Lil' Kim, MC Lyte, Mase, Doug E. Fresh and more with a big tribute to the honorees of the evening Cool & The Gang. Instead of recapping the highlights and you want to see the winners of the evening click here.

Wendy Williams was alright as a host though she didn't put on her controversial persona but yet simply cute and entertaining talk show host persona. No drama was necessary for a night like that. Triple threat Chris Brown opened the show taking us back to his early hits and ending it with his current hits. You would have thought he was headlining for the Superbowl. Chris Brown still has it vocals and dance moves and all.

JANAY RICE SPEAKS TO ESPN FOR AN INTERVIEW [VIDEO]

WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE RAY RICE SITUATION?!

Ray Rice's suspension has been lifted from the NFL leaving him as  free agent. I wonder what team will decide to sign the former Baltimore Ravens running back. Remember earlier this year the young  rich athlete struck headlines when video footage showed him knocking his then finance out cold in casino elevator? Well if you don't remember or aren't familiar the video is everywhere online. Flashing forward, throughout all the backlash and ridicule Ray and Janay have faced, the two decided to get married. 

Last month, ESPN journalist Jemele sat down with Janay Rice, where she finally opens up about the incident, how she and her family felt, Ray's acknowledgement to the situation and where they stand now as a family. To Janay's defense she simply explains everyone is not perfect and they have moved forward since the incident, but she won't able cope with being coined a "victim" of domestic violence.

AWE, GABRIELLE UNION VIDEO BOMBS DWAYNE WADE [VIDEO]

Waiting For A Reality Show With These Two!!! 

If you don't love Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union's relationship then you must be out of your mind. The two have always had a cute and silly relationship that just makes you saw awe at any moment. 

After Sunday nights intense Miami Heat vs. the New York Knicks game, Gabrielle Union video bombed her husband's interview to highlight his high and low points of the game. Though she was teasing him, we know it was all out of love. 

It was Wade's first game back after suffering a hamstring injury. Wade scored an amazing 27 points in the game which ended up in a defeat from the Miami Heat to the New York Knicks in a score of 86-79, close game!

NEW VIDEO: DIGGY SIMMONS 'HONESTLY' [VIDEO]

IS IT ME OR DOES DIGGY SIMMONS SOUNDS LIKE DRAKE?!

It's still hard to believe we all grew up with Rev Run's second eldest son Daniel 'Diggy' Simmons on the hit MTV show, Run's House. Who would have known Diggy would have branched off to become a rapper following the footsteps of his rapper pioneer dad Rev Run.

Diggy is back now with a new song that'll warm everyone's hearts. "Honestly" is a song in which the rapper confesses his love for his girlfriend telling her no matter what they go through good or bad, she's the girl he honestly wants and needs. It's always good to let your significant other know you honestly can't see yourself without them. I think it solidifies stability in the relationship, knowing the two of you will be together for a while or even years. 

Check Out The Video For Honestly. His EP 'Out Of This World' Is Coming Soon. 

NEW MUSIC: FRANK OCEAN "MEMRISE"

I memorized the wayward expressions
Never look down
Never let you see me down
I memorized the way no directions
Can I come over now
I’d like to stay a little while
I memorized your body exposed
I could fuck you all night long
From a memory alone 

I never forget a face
Don’t go plastic on me
Nothing’s set in stone
You’re not dipped in gold
Dipped in gold
You can’t breathe if you’re dipped in gold
You are not on paper
You are not a copy
You’re so, you’re so..so thick, so thick

Early Friday morning Frank Ocean released a two-minute song titled "Memrise" to his Tumblr page. Not sure if the song is a tease to a new album or single or just something he wrote and produced and decided to share with the world. 

However, Frank Ocean hasn't released any music since his 2012 incredible debut album, Channel Orange. Whatever the song decides to be it's not bad though it sounds like an unfinished product. Frank's lyrics never seem to fail the likes of people, it's relatable in every way.

J. Cole states 2014 Forest Hills Drive, is the home in which he grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina until it went to foreclosure on his mother at a later time. J. Cole earlier this summer purchased the house back for $121,000. Talk about starting from the bottom.
