On this weeks episode Fantasia shows a different side of herself as she confronts dad, Joseph Barrino, about the struggles and conflicts between them. For the first time she seemed like a young woman in charge, not being led by others. She was clear in her feelings with her father when they spoke on the phone and ended the conversation well. It appears that she is now on the right track with her life and her new album will no doubt be a great success.
I was proud to see her speak out and not let the word "family" keep her from defending what is true. It was also nice to see Teeny try to do something for himself. Something that had nothing to do with Fantasia. Seeing him earn his own money was a great stride for him. He had a plan and followed through on it. Good job Teeny and Tasia. Enjoyed this weeks show...."For Real". :o)

Mo 'Nique Wins Oscar For Precious.....Is There a Pattern Here????
So once again we see an African American winning an Oscar for a dysfunctional role in a movie. I am not "Oh So Proud" of this accomplishment at all. I don't even patron these shows anymore other than the occassional tune in to see what everyone's wearing. We've seen it with Denzel, winning for Training Day, the street hustler cop out of control. We've seen it with Halle Berry, the broke down single mother of an overweight black child whose father was in prison and who became the lover of Billy Bob Thornton and showed off her assets. We've seen it with the winning of an Oscar for the theme song from the movie "Hustle and Flow", It's Hard out Here for a Pimp, and Terrance Howard receiving a nomination for being an all out thug. Come on, this is not something to be proud of. Seems like applause for exploitation to me.
I'm over these shows. Nothing of substance and no need to patronize. It is also troubling to see Mo 'Nique be so proud to tell Barbara Walters that she doesn't believe in shaving and displaying her hairy legs on national TV. How do you put on a beautiful gown, get all dolled up and then unleash a beast from underneath your dress. Come on Mo.....I am not proud of that. Not at All!!!

OC Housewives Finale Good to the Finish!
Girls, Girls, Girls, thanks for the excellent finale! Lets get started:
Lynne and Frank- Daughters show up drunk as hell and she and hubby claim to not even realize that they were drinking in the limo on the way over. This is so ridiculous to see on TV. Lynne totally tunes those kids out. Whole party realizes they are drunk but her and hubby are walking around like it's everyday business and no big deal. They even show up making a scene. And why does that one always start crying when she gets called out. It seems to be her way of getting out of trouble. Starts with all that I can't take it stuff....please Alexis give us a break. These girls are not that attractive to begin with, don't appear to be that smart and seem headed for disaster. Eyes closed for everything else so we can certainly see how Lynne was kicked out of her home without having a clue!
Alexis and Jim- Hmmm, same old same old. I think Alexis' fake religion stuff kind of gets on my nerves. She seems to jump in and out of it to make herself seem humble. If she's so christian like why hasn't she put her feelings for Vikki aside and made a mense. Jim, hustler along for the show. Seems to take pride in her in your face attitude. What was up with Alexis' mom? She looked like a bad witch. Black lipstick and a puffy face. Should have recovered a bit more.
Jeana and Crew- It was nice seeing Jeana. Her kids seem to really be doing well. All so happy, real and down to earth. I was also glad to see Jeana recognized that Vikki didn't have her back when Vikki ran to her to tell her about Tamra and the other girls.
Gretchen and Slade- It's true, they did come in looking like barbie and ken on a cheap wedding cake. Gretchen just doesn't listen. While Lori had no business, as she really doesn't know Gretchen, inquiring about her relationship with Slade, she should have listened and took note that here was yet another housewife acknowleding a relationship with him. Wake UP!!! Seems like she could have anybody her own age or better. Why Slade? He seems like a real loser. Everyone else certainly thinks so. Embarrasing being in a room where everyone knows your mans business.
TAMRA AND SIMON- You know, I keep going back and forth with these two but the obvious conclusion is that they just arent suited for each other. It was sooooooooooo funny hearing her tell him get a a job! Simon, you are no longer the MAN! He is always putting her down, its true. He must have liked her behavior at some point because she doesn't appear to be any different. There are times that she seems to be screaming for attention in this very juvenile way though. Tamra is very attractive, I don't think she realizes that she does not have to put on a show and drink to get attention. I understand that he wants her to behave like a wife but I don't think she's that bad Simon. I was glad to see her get in his ass in the limo. She finally let loose on him. Then didn't let it go at the party. He deserved to get dissed in front of everyone. Felt bad when she broke down with Vikki but when she lied when he walked over I would have walked away. Wonder why she is so frightened of him. Surely she can find someone who accepts her as she is. Simon just doesn't treat her right. Good riddens Simon!
Vikki and Don- Family in tact and strong and marriage stronger than ever. I was sad to see Vikki allow Tamra to pull her into the same drama though. Tamra is not a very good girlfriend. She has broken several codes and talked behind Vikki's back. Seems she only seeks Vikki out when she needs her. Vikki needs a whole different group. A working women's group.
That's a wrap until the juicy reunion!!!!

Pep Dates an Asian Dude?
VH1 TV Shows | Music Videos | Celebrity Photos | News & Gossip
Many of us are loving Let's talk about Pep. It's known as the black woman's sex and the city. I can go with that. This weeks episode with "Tom" and Pep was enlightening and fun. Tom is an Asian doctor who has somewhat put it on Pep! Seems very confident and into her. Seems like something new for her. Something other than that hip hop bad boy type she is use to. Tom treats her like a lady, reminding her that she is deserving of the finest treatment and the finer things in life. I was surprised to see that Pep didn't just date Tom for one episode and then move right back into the same old thing. This one seems genuine and mutual on both sides. On the latest episode Pep and Tom actually decide to become EXCLUSIVE. Nice Pep. Hope this is it for you. Will be nice for the brother's that thought they were treating you right to view. Check out the clip.
