Fox News Hires a "Clueless" Stacy Dash

Fox News hires a "clueless" Stacey Dash, while giving her a platform to voice her conservative views that caused her to not only lose fans, but triggered a backlash of inappropriate comments which tore the 47 year old actress a part. 

Does Stacey Dash, culminate her opinions from the top of her head or from books? What do you think?

This should be interesting to say the least. Move on over Elisabeth Hasselbeck!

KimYe Made it to the Alter

The #MostTalkedAboutCouple became "most talked about" when Kanye West stated, "Me and my girl in the exploitation business." Ever since then its been headline mania for the twosome.

Their lavish wedding ceremony however remained under radar and away from prying eyes, apparently wanting to keep the moment near and dear to their hearts and definitely not wanting outsiders to speculate every trivial matter.

The bride wore an elegant lace Givenchy gown while the groom, donned an all black tux also by designer Givenchy. They said their "I do's", in front of a wall of all white flowers and in front of their most beloved family and friends. However, one beloved family member that flew out in support of his sister's wedding day, left abruptly and allegedly in tears after he was criticized by the bride about his weight size.

Robert Kardashian admitted to being upset about his weight while at his sister's wedding and allegedly Kim, made her brother's body size out to be a big deal. Is this why Rob left the wedding? Did Kim think Rob, might mess up the family wedding pictures?

Another beloved family member and best man was missing rapper and businessman Jay Z, and his wife of six years singer, Beyonce. Although Beyonce, did send her congratulations through Instagram displaying a picture of the couple with baby North, from their #MostTalkedAbout Vogue shoot.

This time around Kim opted to take rapper Kanye West's last name, introducing herself as Mr. and Mrs. Kanye West,

which is a huge step for the reality star since she refused to take her previous husband's last name Kris Humphries, as they argued about it on camera during her reality show. Taking Wests' last name; does this mean true love for the E! Queen?

After the private nuptials and reception that evening, brunch was served the next day in which most guests began to make their exit. 

The newly married couple remained in Europe for their honeymoon making visits to Prague and Ireland, before heading back home to Los Angeles to reunite with their 11 month old baby girl, whose celebrating her first birthday in June with Poppa Ye.

Congrats to the happy couple; life is but a dream.

Women Empowerment on the Queen Latifah Show

Last week on the Queen Latifah Show, the ever evolving artist dedicated her entire panel to the empowerment of women.

The list of strong women in attendance included woman's rights activist Gloria Steinem, Arianna Huffington founder of The Huffington Post, Rita Moreno who played "Carmen" in West Side Story and Melissa Harris-Perry, host of the MHP Show.

The ladies tackled subjects like banning the word "bossy" with regards to women leaders; the "B" word was another touchy topic in which Mrs. Perry, broke down the Hip Hop structure of the word from a male point-of-view (Rapper Apache "Gangsta B") in comparison to the feminist point-of-view (Queen Latifah "U-N-I-T-Y"). Arianna Huffington stated that because the "workplace was designed by men", the "B" word's are commonly used when women exude any kind of assertiveness.

Another hot topic addressed was the fact that there are

"mean girls" out there in which Ms. Moreno, stated she felt the "media creates false competition" with regards to females. The founder of the Huffington Post quoted Madeleine Albright saying, "there's a special place in hell for women that don't support other women."

Adding to the empowerment of women Queen, decided to ask everyone in the audience to take a moment of silence for the girls that were stolen in Nigeria, while holding up signs that read: #BringBackOurGirls.

As Latifah closed out the show for the day, she brought on another strong woman leader named Carol, the founder of Carol's Daughter products. And she gave great advice to women entrepreneurs that although your ideas may be rejected over and over again - eventually "the no's are encouraging."

With that said Queen, picked a woman entrepreneur out of the audience to give one thousand dollars to as seed money to further her entrepreneurial ambitions.

Rapper Jay-Z Viciously Attacked by Sister-in-law

I'm late with posting this video as it has already gone completely viral, but what would 'A Hood Talks' be if it didn't keep up with the hoopla?!

The video below displays superstar Beyonce, along with her rapper hubby Jay-Z and baby sister Solange, who totally kicked the crap out of her brother-in-law! The brawl went down at The Standard Hotel during the 'Met Gala' event May 5th, in which it appears a hotel employee leaked the private video footage.

The media and public has been constantly speculating what the argument could've been over, but neither individual involved in the dispute has come forward to put too bed any rumors which have been spreading like wild fire.

We can only hope that peace and understanding will prevail within their family circle, but until then we'll continue keeping a watchful eye on upcoming interviews to explain this very intense situation.

Update: Jay Z, Solange and Beyonce make peace.

Kim Kardashian Discovers Racism in America

Although racism has been woven into the fabric of our American society since pilgrims touched the soil, reality star Kim Kardashian, has recently discovered how prevalent it is within her world.

Recently in a post on her blog, Kardashian's epiphany about the nation's plight of prejudice and inequality has opened her eyes to what her own child could possibly face as she gets older. 

Kim candidly spoke as she stated, "I never knew how much being a mom would change me," she began. "To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought. It is obviously a topic that Kanye, is passionate about but I guess it was easier for me to believe that it was someone else's battle."

Does Kim only care about racism now, because it's affecting her livelihood?

After all, she clearly stated she always felt it was someone else's battle to fight, even though she has dated black men through her entire career with her first marriage BEING to a black man. Did she not care that her past spouses may have experienced racism, or was racism not a factor for them because they're all rich?

Reading some comments posted with regards to Kardashian's sudden realization that racism has and will continue to affect her, it almost made me sad that people were still attacking her character while she spoke her truth. Kim's reputation has been tainted so it's made it easier for people to disrespect her and anything she says, however, it isn't fair to attack someone based off of what they didn't know.

Kim Kardashian grew up privileged - some like to call privilege a "wealth bubble", which means you are completely sheltered from any and all things an average person or a person of limited means may encounter or endure. And although one's bank account doesn't constitute whether you'll be discriminated against or not, 9 times out of 10, if you're rich you live in a rich area, attend rich schools, rich events and have rich friends, because ones wealth and status automatically made you a part of an accepted club hence, her past relationships with rich black men.

Can we really blame Kim, for being raised to not care about political issues although her dad was a lawyer? Is it fair to gang up on her, because she's speaking from personal experiences?

People write about what they know about and your experiences, mold you in to the person you will ultimately become. Yes, Kim isn't known for speaking on political issues, yes Kim isn't known for having intellectual conversations and yes, she almost always seems consumed with herself and her world while others may see her as a self-centered, shallow, gold-digging and conceited human being. But outside all of that it appears that Kim, is beginning to "see" things with a fresh pair of eyes. She's beginning to see "others" and not just herself.

At the end of the day, we can all believe that she's using this "racism" platform to make herself look better in the eyes of others, as a means of shedding the "old" Kim as she transforms herself into the "new" Kim. But the fact that she's being bold enough to speak on such a controversial issue that has nothing to do with her brand, I believe speaks volumes about her evolving character that will only continue to evolve as she becomes more informed with "real" world issues.
