Drake is dating a woman named Maliah Michelle, who works as a stripper. According to ihiphop.com, Drake and Maliah took a trip to Jamaica together. They must be a couple if  he taking her to a island.

For some reason every time I hear a star is in a relationship, I give it two months for it to be over. Celebrities definition of a relationship seems to be different from the average person.

A lot of people think that he shouldn’t be dating a stripper. I think everyone should mind their business. If he found someone that makes him happy, it shouldn’t matter what her job description is. Maliah does have some outrageous photos are the Internet but that’s her life. Likek I said, I don’t think it’s going to last long, but let’s just leave them alone for now.

Sandra Bullock is in the process of adopting a baby boy from New Orleans as first reported by PEOPLE. She’s been keeping the baby a secret since January.

He’s been her bit of joy since the ruin of her marriage to Jesse James after winning her Oscar in March for The Blindside. His name is Louis Bardo Bullock, and he’s 3 1/2 months old. (And he’s a little cutie!)

“He’s just perfect, I can’t even describe him any other way,” Bullock tells PEOPLE. “It’s like he’s always been a part of our lives.”

She started the adoption process with Jesse four years ago, and now that it is almost finalized and Sandra is pushing forward with her divorce, Jesse is relinquishing his parental rights of Louis.

Check out the rest of Sandra’s story in PEOPLE on newsstands on Friday!

Mariah Carey has been slowly gaining weight. She just put on another 25 pounds, according to mediatakeout.com. I have been hearing the media talk about how much she is letting herself go. WHO CARES! She looks just as pretty as she looked before she gain that little bit of weight.

It makes me sick how the media can take anything about a celebrity and turn it so negative. Celebrities have so much to live up to, and all we do is put more pressure on them. Who are we to make someone else feel like crap? Mariah is in her forties, she’s successful, and seems happily married. Why can’t she just live how she wants? Plus, Nick doesn’t seem to be complaining, and his opinion should be the only one that counts.

The media just wanted to ruin someone’s day and she was that someone. Mariah, I hope you don’t let those people get to you because you look fabulous.

ABC again had a special on why successful black women are single that aired last Wednesday.

This topic has been going on for months and months, and it’s BEYOND frustrating. Media outlets make black women who are single over the age of 30 feel so bad for not being in a relationship or married.

They give us the stats saying there are more women than men, cutting down our choices. There are many black men who do not have college degrees or are in jail which makes the selection even more narrow.

In this panel discussion called “Why Can’t a Successful Black Woman Find a Man?” which featured Sherri Shepherd, co-host of The View; TV/radio personality Jacque Reid; Jimi Izreal, author of The Denzel Principle; Hill Harper, actor and author; and, oh yeah, Steve Harvey.

First of all, who picked this panel? I get the whole man vs. woman thing, but how about you show me couples who are in a successful marriage. Don’t show me the complainers (ahem, Sherri and Jacque), and you can leave the naysayers behind. Jimi Izrael just needed to get off the stage, he made about as much sense as peanuts and pickles.

Who was looking at this special? Probably successful black women and men — the same people who have been talking about it time and time again. No one new has anything to contribute. What are we supposed to do? I watched the whole special, and I became angry at times. Steve Harvey made it seem like we have to wait for men to reach their potential and blah blah blah. I blanked out.

The only person who made even a little bit of sense to me was Hill Harper. Instead of having a special called “Why Can’t a Successful Black Woman Find a Man,”  why can’t it be, “Why Can’t Successful Black Women and Men Find Each Other?” Relationships are a partnership (and this was a point that Hill Harper and Sherri Sheperd brought up), and it needs to be treated as such.

There needs to be less blame placed on what we as women are doing (or not doing). Point blank, it’s not fair. We just need to work together to be successful together. I think that’s the only thing that can work. It’s not fair to tell a woman well it’s not in our DNA to do this or that. So what? That does not mean that you can’t do certain things. Believe me, it’s not in your DNA to play Xbox all day, and you weren’t an expert when Call of Duty first came out, but now you are.

I’m just so over this topic. Stop telling us that we can’t find a man. Why don’t you give us some solutions?

Oprah had Gerald Imes, the brother of Mo’Nique, and other family members on her show April 19, 2010. Gerald admitted to Oprah that he molested Mo’Nique when she was just a child.

According to the examiner.com, he begun to speak about how he touched her while she was sleeping. He later apologized to Mo’nique on the show for the damage he caused her in her life. Even though Mo’Nique gave Oprah her blessing to have the interview, she was quite pissed at Oprah because of the way the interview was handled and the things her brother was allowed to say.

I was shocked when I heard  this. I don’t think an interview should be given to the person who did the damage. I didn’t feel it was appropriate to hear something like this without Mo’Nique around. Plus, it didn’t seem as sympathetic to Mo’Nique’s feeling as much as it should have.  She later claimed that he lied about a few things that were discussed. Now I wouldn’t be surprised if this cost even more problems with her family.

Mo’Nique was offered the chance to go on Oprah for her interview but she declined. I would have declined also. I wouldn’t want anything else out in public. It would just mean that the public would have to choose which story is completely true. One of the fears of being harassed in any way is the fear of people not believing you.

Do you think this interview was necessary or not?
