Apparently skaterboy TK lacked patience and understanding…its nice to hear there are girls out there who are willing to wait on premaritial sex and hold out until marriage. But in today’s overly sexed society, are men still checking for virginal chicks?

GUESS WHO?! CAUGHT UP…

Author: LexAve  //  Category: Blind Item

This C-List black actress is well known in the black community and her popularity is growing with each new film she appears in.

Few people know, she had to flee her hometown because she was involved with a big time drug baller.

Rumor has it that she was caught up in the game with him and was a dope girl and courier.

Allegedly, he was murdered, execution style, she heard the shots from the bathroom and escaped out of a window, according to sources.

Word soon got out that she was present and allegedly, a contract was taken out on her.

Her family acted quickly, borrowing money from everyone, they put her on a bus to California.

To her relief, the drug crew that was after her-a few got killed by a rival gang and the others are incarcerated, so the contract was never executed.

She reinvented herself in Hollywood and turned to acting, since drama had been her favorite class in high school.

In Hollywood, she was once involved with a famous black man but unfortunately, he wasn’t thuggish enough for her.

Old habits die hard.

Who is she?

“Weezy to Quezzy”…WTF?! Talk about an ackward banterish introduction.

Surprisingly enough the Quizno rat look-a-like rapper managed clean cut image and dare I say knowledgeable debate. Could I have been wrong about Lil’ Wayne’s ignant a$$?…maybe?

ANY THOUGHTS?!

TEYANA TAYLOR DOES “SINGLE LADIES”

Author: LexAve  //  Category: New Video, YouTube Sensation


Homie, Blogxilla, sent over this video of Teyana Taylor doing Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” at some show in Brooklyn, NY. The choreography was on point, although I would’ve prefered to see Teyana do her thing in heels…it adds that diva quality. I was definitely not ready for this. Try to ignore the crazed stan screaming “Go-Go Teyana” in the background. Just a tad bit excited, ya think!…
