Former super model turned talk show host, Tyra Banks had put on the pounds after retiring from the catwalk. The tabloids had plastered pictures of Banks on the front pages of her in swim suits or looking noticably heavier in 2007.
Anyhoo, Banks took to the small screen during her talk show and pretty much told the negative people to “Kiss My Fat Ass”.
Well recently Tyra revealed she had longtime stomachaches that were a result of having bad eating habits. “I would get major attacks. I would be in bed for days, it was so painful.”
To remedy her problems with the help of her nutritionist Heather Bauer, Banks re-evaluated her eating habits by keeping a food diary. Took control of her eating habits.
“I switched up my unhealthy eating habits for healthier eating habits, and I haven’t had a tummy attack since December 2008,” she said.
As a result of changing her eating habits Banks has lost 30 pounds.
“I feel good about my curves and my imperfections — my booty, my boobs, my thighs — I embrace it all,” she said. “Now I really can say…kiss my fat — and still fat –ass.”
Both Tyra and nutrionist Bauer suggest writing down everything you eat and learning what works for you.
Apparently rumors of Mary J. Blige being pregnant with her first child has been running rampant on the internet. But the star has dismissed the rumors she’s expecting, insisting there isn’t an ounce of truth to the ridiculous rumors.
A couple of months ago, Blige reportedly said she would be a “poor parent” because she is far too busy to adopt any kids, and is happy taking care of her three step children.
Mary J. Blige and hubby, Kendu Issacs are both very much still in love however no baby is on the way.

I spotted Gabrielle Union in all her glory over on Necole Bitchie’s site. I was no so shocked by Gabrielle Union’s partial nudity, but more about I guess the word would be “real”, I hate to say real she came across.
Excuse, she seemed to come across as a little uptight, but her interview with Men’s Health magazine revealed a side of Gabby that I never thought I would see. I like it
In this candid interview, Gabby talks about the “how to become the kind of guy we love to brag about”:
Attentiveness
Gabrielle: “Nobody wants to feel like just a vessel. You want equal participation, so it’s not ’68 and I owe ya one.’ ”
Pay attention to her desires. “This is big to me,” says Ashley, 25. “It makes me feel less used, so I let my girls know.” A chorus of women echoed her sentiments. “This speaks to more than just sex; it’s about how we connect,” says Karen, 32. For Kelly, 27, it’s a barometer of character: “It makes a man seem very sweet if he’s attentive, and like a selfish jerk if he’s not.”
Win her approval: We don’t want a wimp. “Some men think they’re being attentive, but they’re really being tentative,” says sex therapist Sandor Gardos, Ph. D., the founder of MyPleasure.com. “They touch her hesitantly and wait to see what she does. That’s not very sexy.” Be confident, not aggressive. Make your moves without apology, but watch and listen to gauge what she likes. Or just ask!
Oral Skills
Gabrielle: “If it’s a choice between a man who gives flowers and a man who enjoys giving oral, most women would take the oral. And it’s free. Oral sex is recession-proof.”
Women will dish whether you’re awesome or awful. But at least try. “There’s nothing more disappointing than a man who doesn’t try or is just clueless,” says Katy, 28. “If he’s great, I’m thrilled and want to spill to my friends. If he was terrible, I want someone to sympathize.”
Win her approval: Be eager. “It makes a big difference if you’re showing authentic enthusiasm. Women read that,” says Gardos. Michelle, 25, told us that she and her friends compare notes on “how involved he was” during oral sex. Too many men focus only on intercourse, Gardos says. But a 2006 Australian study found that far more women are able to reach orgasm with oral sex than through intercourse alone.
Control
Gabrielle: “If both people can climax quickly, sex doesn’t need to go on for 2 hours — at some point, Law & Order is coming on! But it’s terrible if a man is 2 minutes and you’re nowhere close.”
Breathe easy, men: If you don’t last long, women are generally forgiving — provided you make up for it. “Only if things ended immediately afterward would I ever say he didn’t last very long,” says Victoria, 28. “If he’s a one-pump and done, it does get talked about,” admits Janna, 23, “but if he makes up for it later that night or in the morning, I’ll have only good things to say.” And again, personality matters: “If we like him, we make excuses for him,” says Paula, 20. “If we don’t like him, we make fun of him. Harsh, but true.”
Win her approval: If you climax quickly, resist the panicked urge to explain. (We see through the classic, “This never happens to me, I swear.”) “Instead, make it about how sexy she is and how much she’s turned you on, not about how you aren’t in control,” says Herbenick. Then make sure she gets her turn.
Gabby explains it all in a nutshell, check out more of the interview right here.

Originally I posted the snippet to this song, “Take It Off” about a week, more or less. He revealed that he would have a surprise guess on the song. Well I guess the surprise was Nicki Minaj.
“Take It Off” is a single off of Lloyd’s upcoming album. Word is Lloyd is in talks with a couple of labels.

Lil Wayne has been slapped with yet another lawsuit. Thomas Marascuillo aka “Tommy Mara” filed a lawsuit Friday (Oct. 30) in a Manhattan Federal Court alleging Lil Wayne and Birdman used his recorded “Italian-styled” spoken words for Cash Money Records in 2006 without his permission or compensation.
These “Italian-styled” spoken words were allegedly used as intros on two albums, Like Father, Like Son (2006) and 5 (Star) Stunna (2007).
According to HipHopWired, Marascuillo had no idea his voice had been used until his daughter discovered the track “Respect” while attempting to purchase a ringtone.
What really looks bad is, when Marascuillo began to demand payment from Lil Wayne and Birdman, he alleges his son who was then a recording engineer at Cash Money was fired due to Marascuillo financial issue with the pair.
Thomas Marascuillo who lives in Florida’s Hernando County is seeking unspecified damages.
