Ready for the Book of Badu?

A lot of people have criticized Erykah Badu for having children with multiple fathers. As long as I don’t have to pay child support for any of them, she can do what she pleases with her uterus.

But, one thing I wouldn’t mind learning a little bit about is what exactly she does to the men she dates.

During her VH1 Storytellers set last year Erykah said, “Don’t listen to the tabloids, they’re not always true, but what they say about me and the men? Yeah, that’s true.”

You see, she acknowledges that she’s behind André 3000 dressing like seven decades ago. And now she’s contemplating writing a book about it.

As fun as her Twitter page is, there’s only so much you can say in 140 characters or less. Wouldn’t a book themed around how she turns everyone out make for a good read?

I’d much rather read that than Karrine Steffan’s upcoming book on how to seduce a man…and get death threats from his wife.

In light of tonight’s final presidential debate, let’s play a quick game: If you could only vote for one rumored relationship ever really working out -Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade and actress Gabrielle Union or the looong-talked-about “friendship” between tennis giant Serena Williams and actor/rapper Common- which would you choose?

Barack Gets No Love

Published by Carrie Blackshaw on Monday, July 14, 2008 at 12:06 pm.

Barack Obama may have the support of a slew of
Black entertainers, including Common, Nick Cannon, John Legend, P. Diddy, Alicia
Keys, Stevie Wonder and media mogul Oprah Winfrey, but what he’s not getting this
week is any love from the well-respected New Yorker
magazine.

Check out this week’s satirical cover showing a fist-bumping Michelle, toting an
Afro and AK-47, and Barack, in Muslim gear, in the Oval Office, with a portrait
of Osama bin Laden on the wall and a burning American flag in the fireplace.

Portraying the Obamas as terrorists is plain wrong!

“Satire is part of what we do,” New Yorker editor David Remnick said
in a statement. “And it is meant to bring things out into the open, to hold
up a mirror to the absurd. And that’s the spirit of this cover.”

While the Obama camp called the cover “tasteless and offensive”, the
senator himself refused to comment.

Who Can Get It?

While Flo Rida hit up the ‘As I Am’ world tour wrap celebration at The Park in NYC yesterday, Common was busy at the third Annual Leve Day Celebration. Who would YOU rather celebrate with?
