Happy New Year

2009 was a huge year for me. I accomplished national television with my debut on FOX TV'S Hell's Kitchen. My record lable did a major release with my album "Hip Hop Glam" wich is available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, etc...

My record lable released it's first mixtape called "F*ck You When I'm Famous". It features Queen Latifah, Trey Songz, Tommy Gunz, Dj Suss.One (New York/Miami), Lil Wayne, Jeremih, Missy Elliot, Donnell Jones, Buda (Channel 955 radio/Chicago legend) Omarion, Britney Spears, and many more.

I worked with many children in CPS and college. I am now a Chef Instructor at Common Threads. (http://www.commonthreads.org/) Here we instruct Culinary Arts to children focusing on all parts of the world. I am working on my cook book called "Lovely Eats Vol 1" it will be available summer 2010. My cooking show "Culinary Chic" will have many more episodes. My cooking show is the FIRST cooking show to incorporate the music, televsion, fashion, and entertainment industry in one. I interview personalities while educating them and my audience thru culinary arts. I am the FIRST Hip Hop Chef.

I made mistakes this year. I learned a lot this year. I lost loved ones this year. I accomplished a lot this year. I loved hard this year. I got closer to GOD this year. I'm thankful for it all because it helped me be a better me!!!!

Next year I will introduce the world too "The Lovely Femme Fatale" and "The Femme Fatales". I have so much to look forward too and so many blessings to be thankful for. We all need to self reflect and improve. I def did a lot if it this year and I will contine to do it in 2010.

S.A.M. (sexy azz man)

This week's S.A.M. is Chicago native Common. He makes us move, think, and love. I appreciate him for his style, grace, and talent. Common has been consistant with putting out good music. He also has found himself in a few good roles on the big screen. Last, ladies please don't forget that Common is extremly delicious. A girl could get lost in those eyes and fall in love with that smile. Common keep doing the damn thing and keep holding Chicago down!

R. Kelly's responds to Trey Songz

We all know about Trey and his opinion about R. Kelly. To be honest I have mixed feelings about it. Was Trey trying to start beef to promote his album? Was it a genuine feeling he had? Either way everyone is entitled to their opinon. We've heard what Trey had to say now Kells is speaking. I think both of these musicians are talented. I respect how Trey bodied the industry and I respect Kells longevity and accomplishments. Much LOVE and continued success to both of them.

New Love (Video) Adam Lambert

Adam is getting a lot of mixed feelings from the world right now. I say be you and stay true. We all can agree that he has an amazing voice. His first single is called "For Your Entertainment" I wish him the best...Enjoy!

New Love (Video) Chris Brown

Here is Chris Brown's next single "Crawl" He has Cassie as his leading lady. Chris sang his azz off on this record! His vocal abilities are getting stronger and he is displaying them in this song. Okay Chris this is your "I'm sorry song" so now let's get down to business! Enjoy World!

This is how I'm feeling right now

Dear Chris...

I am one of your biggest fans. I still have an autographed poster that you signed for me while you were interviewing with my brother Buda in Hartford, CT on Power 104.1 This is all I'm saying....

Rihanna is going hard on you. Her album is called "Rated R" her singles are called "Hard", "Russian Roulette", etc... She is playing the game right. Your album is called "Graffiti" and it has cartoon animals on it. really? I know your body of work is gonna be dope cause your dope but come on G.

I want too know who at Jive looked at the album cover, it's title, and said "this is a go" They need to be fired. If I was running things I would have done a "Justin Timberlake" situation. He called his album "Justified" and the second single was called "Cry Me A River" that's how you play the game.

Do your one "I'm sorry song" then blast that chick and let her and the world know it happened, its done, and I'm still running this music game! You are an incredible talent Breezy and what has happened is DONE. Don't be afraid to go in. There are no more "rules" in the industry. Play the game how ever you like. Just be smart about it.

Your branding the term "Steezin·on·these·He·thens" - (verb) {the act of being fresh} So act like it!

I got your back and I look forward to working with you. Your gonna be in Chicago on Thanksgiving so you are welcome to come to my crib for a real Thanksgiving dinner.

Rihanna Interview : My Thoughts

So everyone is talkng about this Rihanna interview...I was going to post it but I thought too myself. There are some things I just can't get down with. Rihanna was hit and was it wrong..yes. But she never admitted to what she did to initiate the situation that night. She is not innocent. I'm sure she made mistakes in their relationship as well. I also find it hard to believe that he hit her 8 or 9 times before. So is she saying that no one noticed this? Also I don't like the fact that she did this interview 2 weeks before her album dropped. Did she need time to heal physically and emotionally...yes but "how convenient"

No one will ever really know what happened that night. But Rihanna if you say you don't want other girls to be in this situation and you want them to learn from you and be safe. At the end of your interview don't say that there is a possibility you will go back to him. You said it was done and you would never go back and you want to set a good example. So don't contradict yourself.

In closing, Rihanna you will sell more albums but Chris is still a better talent than you. If I was his management I would have done a "Justin Timberlake" on yo ass and titled his album "Here To Stay" and his first single would have been called "Never Again"and I would have got a Rihanna look alike for the video.

Lego Kitchen "Culinary Chic"

anything dealing with the kitchen always gets my attention...this is pretty dope!

Lil Wayne...why?

Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to felony gun possession in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday (October 22) stemming from a July 2007 arrest following his first headlining concert in New York. The rapper will be sentenced to one year in prison as a part of his plea deal and must also give up his passport. Wayne quietly told the judge yes when asked if he understood the terms of the plea he was making. Asked what type of gun he possessed, Wayne said, "A .40-caliber semi-automatic."


Wayne had black jeans, a gray coat, white T-shirt and blue Chucks. He was accompanied by the CEOs of his label, Cash Money Records, Bryan "Baby" Williams and Ronald "Slim" Williams.

The hearing began at 10:05 a.m. ET and was over in 20 minutes. About 20 minutes after the hearing ended, Lil Wayne exited the building, covering his head with the hood of his coat. Photographers and reporters followed as court officials escorted him to his vehicle. In response to many reporters' questions, all Wayne said was, "What's up?"

Wayne will be sentenced in February 2010 and is expected to serve eight to 10 months, assuming good behavior. He must also appear in court in December for a parole update.


The incident took place in July 2007 when police pulled over Wayne's tour bus at around 11:30 p.m. on the night of his show at the New York's Beacon Theatre. They arrested the rapper for criminal possession of a weapon and another man on the bus for criminal possession of marijuana. Even before his show that night, Wayne made repeated comments from the stage about being hassled by police and threatened not to perform in New York again.

Rihanna "Rated R"

Rihanna's 4th album is entitled "Rated R" and her first single is called "Russian Roulette"  This song was written and produced by her Def Jam family "Ne-Yo"  The lyrics are deep and she is speaking abut domestic violence. She is gonna sell an insane amount of albums this time around....let's see what happens when Chris drops!

Here are some lyrics to "Russian Roulette"

Take a breath, take it deep/Calm yourself, he says to me/If you play, you play for keeps/Take a gun, and count to three/I’m sweating now, moving slow/No time to think, my turn to go/And you can see my heart beating/You can see it through my chest/And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving/Know that I must must pass this test/So just pull the trigger/Say a prayer to yourself/He says close your eyes/Sometimes it helps/And then I get a scary thought/That he’s here means he’s never lost

I had a great time on FOX TV's Hell's Kitchen! I learned alot, made mistakes, and built friendships that will last a lifetime. Everyone always ask me these 2 questions 1. Is Chef Ramsey really that mean? 2. Did anything happen between you too? I'm going to answer them both now. 1. You must desire perfection when you are running million dollar restaurants all over the world. There is a certain level of stern-ness you must have. 2. Gordon and I have a mutual understanding.


Here is a clip from L.A. I did with FOX enjoy!
