BOOOOOWLING

I attended a bowling luncheon today at Lucky Strike on Miami Beach hosted by Rick Ross. You know I can’t say no to food, and it’s a daytime thing, so I decided to make an appearance!

It’s Complicated

I saw an advance screening of new movie It’s Complicated starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. The film opens Christmas Day and I must say its very charming. I think even though it appears to be about “older, middle-age” love…it’s still the same love issues. The ex that you can’t quite let go of and still sort of wonder what if? Then the newcomer who you like, but aren’t quite sure if you’re ready to move on and not look back, then the ex comes back and confuses you more… Certainly many situations I was easily able to relate to when it comes to dating! There is one scene which I really enjoyed…let’s just say Croissant making! Hmmm…maybe that’s because I love eating croissants! lol

Sweet 16

The newest episode of On The Flipside is online…and this one marks the Sweet 16!! 🙂 I hosted this one from NYC and the episode features NY Giants Danny Clark and his Smart Car, Toronto Raptors Chris Bosh and his forthcoming documentary First Ink, as well as Mona Liza Reyes and Jonathan “Bionic” Bayani for Go Team Mo and the Washington Wizards Dancers round it out as they unveil their new swimsuit calendar!

My Cameo…that almost was…

So, I recently had an opportunity to make a cameo as a red carpet reporter in the music video for Timbaland’s new song “Say Something” featuring Drake, on Shock Value 2.

I know the role was a bit of a stretch, but somehow I managed to pull it off! Needless to say, only my lovely locks (i.e. hair) made the final cut of the video, but I did get some good face time in the “Behind the Scenes/Making Of” video…starting around the 4:09 mark.

Here are some screen grabs of my “red carpet” scene….

NYC

I spent the last week in NYC – part business, always pleasure and of course it was 100% hustle. I stayed with my good friend and Raiderette sister Tamae, who’s a high fashion designer – for Ishii NYC,  living on the Upper East Side with his Persian Cats and a long-hair chihuahua named Dauphine, nicknamed “Fatty” ..she weighs a whole 3 pounds and has more than 50 doggy couture outfits! lol

The day I arrived it was rainy, and everyone was saying it just got cold, but PLEASE, with my thin blood, anything under 70 is “ice cubes!” haha Nonetheless, I met up with my cousin Gemmie who was in NYC visiting from ATL, and then Tamae took me to Max Brenner Chocolate for some really tasty hot chocolate. On Sunday, we ventured out to a NY Knicks game at MSG…my first time there EVER! It was a lot smaller than I expected, but definitely a packed house with loyal fans…and they won!

My cousin Arielle came down for the day from SUNY Purchase to hang out…

…and we had great seats..right behind the visitor’s bench..happened to be the NJ Nets that day!

That night we had dinner at TAO with a friend from the Daily News, and feasted on a decadent dessert platter!

Monday I met up with my artist VADO in Harlem for his photo shoot!

Thanks to Ivan, Abby, Manda and Natalie…lots of different looks, it was good times!!

Betweeen Monday and Tuesday I was running around shooting segments for On The Flipside and Locker Blogger, went by the CAVI NYC office and also visited with the Stereotypes who were in town recording….then Tuesday night Anjelah Johnson flew in, so we had to meet up too!

Last but not least, I can’t forget the cupcakes! Tamae insisted I have these before I go… and man were they YUMMY!!

A Vanilla with Strawberry frosting and a “Brooklyn Blackout!”

Amaury Nolasco in Armored

New movie Armored is out in theaters today. The film has a diverse all-star cast of male “eye candy” with stars like Matt Dillon, Laurence Fishburne, Milo Ventimiglia and Amaury Nolasco to name a few! The film is about a armored trucks guards who plot to steal one of the trucks with lots of moo-la! I’m sure you’ve heard or seen the trailer  T.I.’s “Every Chance I Get.” I had the pleasure of interviewing Puerto Rican born Amaury Nolasco, during the Miami press tour and he’s such a sweetheart. Matter of fact, he was so charming and had a lot to say, I barely got a word in! lol All good, now I can’t wait til my next interview with him!
