Bringing Up Old News: Amber Rose and Kanye West

Hello Blabbies!

Amber Rose

We're pulling the stitches out of an old wound... 

That wound is the former relationship of Amber Rose and Kanye West. 

Now we all remember the couple when they first were an item. Walking around in their leather jeggings and Jordan's, holding hands and the infamous tongue kissing picture.

But... What has life been like for life after AmbYe? (Yes, I just made that up). 

After rolling around YouTube during breaktime, I came across an interview that Amber Rose did with famous blogger (one of my entertainment news faves) Necole Bitchie. This was uploaded in January 2012, and it kind of gave me a new perception of Amber. Not that I ever disliked her, but it made me like her a lot more than I did. 

Necole Bitchie & Amber Rose

Rose (who is now dating rapper, Wiz Khalifa - love them together by the way) brought up some interesting points that I felt should be shared. Rose claims that Kim Kardashian (his new girlfriend and baby's mother) is the reason their relationship ended. Though Rose shows no hard feelings (because she has clearly moved on), she mentioned something that I feel women, celebrities or not, need to hear. 

Kanye West and Amber Rose

Don't blame the other woman, when the man does you wrong.

PREACH IT AMBER!!! PREACH ON!!!

What satisfaction are you getting by blaming the other woman when your man was equally responsible for doing you wrong and cheating? There is none.

No explanation needed for that.

And Rose brought up another thing, forgiveness...

I forgave him. I moved on. I'm past all that.

You can spend your life being miserable and blaming everyone for a relationship that went sour, or you can pick yourself up, forgive the other party and keep it moving. Being the "bigger person" is something we all need to learn how to do. Not only in relationships, but in life... period.

And my last point, letting a man define you...

Kanye didn't make me, my mother & father made me. Kanye had other girlfriends before me, no one gave them the attention that I got because of ME, it's ME.

SAY THAT! A man should never be the reason you are relevant, or the reason you "exist" to others. Amber Rose was Amber Rose BEFORE she met Kanye. Though he may have given her more of a shove into the CENTER of the public eye, she was doing her thing before (I seen her in a few music videos before Kanye was even in the picture, officially).

I thought this interview basically gave Amber the chance to open up about the "behind the scenes" of the infamous Kanye and Amber relationship that we heard LITTLE of. We don't know what goes on when the cameras are off, or when the stage lights dim. Like Necole Bitchie said, what we see is the glamorous side of it all. All we see is front row at the fashion show, and hopping on and off private jets.

I hope my lady blabbies took something away from this post when it comes to relationships.
1) Putting the other woman on blast, hating her, blaming her when your man is EQUALLY responsible... does nothing.
2) Learn to let go of hard feelings, and forgive. I don't know what some of you have been through, but putting hate in your heart will eventually consume you, and eat you alive. Nothing wrong with forgiving... People let us down in life everyday, that is just the way it is.
3) Don't let anyone, a man in this case, define who you are. You were somebody before you met them, you'll be somebody after them. Period.

Thanks Amber!

Woah Baby: The Top 10 Worst Baby Names!

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian

North, South, East, and West.

To you they sound like directions, but to Kanye and Kim, it's a possible name for a baby.

Sources from numerous entertainment news sites indicated that the happy couple named their newest addition, North West.

*pause*

Yeah, I know, I had to re-read that myself when I read it.

This is kind of confusing to me because I retweeted a tweet by from MTV on Twitter two days ago saying the couple decided on a name, and it wasn't North.

The name I read was Kaidence Donda (Donda is West's mother's name who died in 2007).

Anywho, while North West, sounds more like location than uniqueness, this inspired us to make a list of our Top 10 Worst Celebrity Baby Names (no particular order because they are all equally terrible)... Enjoy!

1. Apple Martin - Daughter of actress, Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay singer, Chris Martin.
I've heard ridiculous names before, but naming your daughter after a fruit?

2. Blue Ivy Carter - Daughter of singer, Beyonce' Knowles and rapper, Jay-Z (Sean Carter)
I love Jay and Bey as a couple, and was excited to hear of their expecting of baby Blue. However, I was not too thrilled about the name. Blue Ivy? Sheesh.

3. Pilot Inspektor Lee - Son of actor, Jason Lee
No explanation needed.

4. Blue Angel Evans - Daughter of U2 guitarist, David "The Edge" Evans
What is going on with the trend "Blue" in these baby names?

5. Moxie Crimefighter Jillette - Daughter of 1/2 of the magician team Penn & Teller
Why on Earth is her middle name Crimefrighter? *scratches head*

6. Tu Morrow - Daughter of actor, Rob Morrow
Get it? Tu Morrow = Tomorrow. Real funny Rob, I see what you did there.

7. Seven Sirius Benjamin - Son of singer, Erykah Badu and rapper, Andre' 3000
I remember first hearing about his name back when he was first born, and I thought it was crazy then. I still think it's crazy now.

8. Jermajesty Jackson - Son of singer and brother of Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson
I still laugh out loud every time I hear this name. His friends and family are not real for letting him name his child that.

9. Satchel Farrow - Son of actress, Mia Farrow and director/actor/author, Woody Allen
Satchel legally goes by the name of Ronan now.

10. Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Little Pixie Gedolf - Daughters of Irish musician, Sir Bob Geldof
In an interview, Gedolf said his daughters referred to him as "an embarrassment"... Wonder why that is.

Heard any whacky baby names lately? BLAB it to us!

Cooking With Controversy by Paula Deen

Seems like Paula Deen is cooking up a recipe for racism.

Paula Deen

Has anybody read the article??

According to several articles I've read on this situation, cook show host, Paula Deen, is apparently an open racist. She has admitted to allegations of her freely using the "n-word" in jokes, and in open conversation at her restaurant in Savannah, GA.

She and her brother, Bubba, even admit to referring to President Obama as the "n-word".

But wait... there's more.

For a Southern wedding she is planning, Deen has even entertained the thought of hiring African-American males and females to serve as waiters/waitresses!

Deen got the idea from a restaurant, her quote:
“The whole entire waiter staff was middle-aged black men, and they had on beautiful white jackets with a black bow tie. I mean, it was really impressive. That restaurant represented a certain era in America… after the Civil War, during the Civil War, before the Civil War… It was not only black men, it was black women… I would say they were slaves.”

ARE YOU SERIOUS PAULA?! Seems like she has the perfect ingredients to her recipe for ridiculousness ya'll!

And to think, there are actually people in the world who think racism doesn't exist.

Thoughts? Comments? BLAB it to us!

HIS AND HERS? Who Wore It Better!

We're always trying to dress like our favorite celebrities and fashion icons, but dressing like your significant other? Yeahhhhh... I don't know about that one!

Some of you have probably already seen this photo floating around your Instagram or Twitter timelines...

Actress Gabrielle Union and boyfriend, Dwayne Wade

I'm not sure whether to consider this cute, or actually kind of creepy. Now if I had to give my opinion, Gabby definitely wore it better... D. Wade on the other hand, probably would have to take a loss on this one (like he does on most of his "fashionable" attire, but that's a different story for a different post... Is that a "man purse" in his hand?).

Gabby and Wade aren't the only couples in Hollywood dressing alike, we've found a few others for your viewing pleasure...

Singer, Mariah Carey and husband, Nick Cannon

Now, I love Mariah Carey and she's one of my favorite artists... but I feel like her and Nick get a little too carried away with their outfits. Brown is a terrible color to dress in (that's my opinion though), and those red boots are hurting my eyes, but that's beside the point. Either way, it's more so "corny" than it is cute. Thumbs down.

Basketball star, Kobe Bryant, and wife, Vanessa Bryant

If I were judging on who wore this outfit better, it would have to be Kobe. Though I think Vanessa Bryant is gorgeous, she would have been better off wearing a black dress. There's a time and a place for everything, and the whole "I'm matching my husband with the suit & tie" theme is not fitting for the occasion... Especially at an event sponsored by Saks. Sorry Vanessa.

Prince William and wife, Kate Middleton

Same collar shirts? Same colored sweaters. No thank you.

Kim Kardashian, and boyfriend, Kanye West

And of course, making it onto another Blabbermoth post is the infamous KIMYE! The picture speaks for itself with the matching leather jeggings and white t's. I'm not really a fan of the peplum shirt on Kim, or the leather pants on Kanye', but hey, whatever floats their boat.

Nothing says "I love you" like matching your sig fig, right? In my opinion, dressing like your significant other is cute on two occasions: 1) If you're in high school, and 2) If you're about to take family pictures. 
I'm not knocking any couples who have done this before, because all of us have at one point, but seriously, if it's not for a specific event, why do you even want to dress like your other half? Thoughts? TAKE OUR SURVEY AND VOTE Blab it to us!

Happy (belated) Father's Day!

Now what kind of tribute would this be if we didn't have new father, Jay-Z, on here??? We love Jay-Z and how proud he is of his fairly new job title as a dad. Now, 1 year old, Blue Ivy Carter, is still the talk of the town. Why wouldn't she be? Her father is one of the most iconic rappers, and her mother, Beyonce', is arguably the best female entertainer of our generation.

You may know him as P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Diddy, Diddy Dirty Money, or even Sean Combs. P. Diddy is the father to six kids (by three different women by the way: Kim Porter, Misa Hylton-Brim, and Sarah Chapman). Diddy has three sons: Justin, Christian, and Chance; two twin girls: D'Lila Star and Jessie James; and one stepson, Quincy. Among the many things Diddy may be: rapper, producer, CEO, fashion designer, actor, etc... he is also a father, and we applaud him for that!

And last, but certainly NOT least, we have President Barack Obama for our #1 Celebrity Dad! Words cannot even begin to describe how great of a father our president is, but pictures definitely say 1000 words! Barack has two beautiful daughters (Malia and Sasha) with his wife, and First Lady, Michelle Obama. We love you Mr. President!

We want to wish all of you fathers and fathers-to-be, a Happy Father's Day! It doesn't matter whether you are a celebrity, or not, being a father is the most important job of them all! We appreciate you, and most of all we thank you!

Ye' or Nay?

When it comes to rapper, Kanye' West, you can either love him or hate him, right? While a lot of people think he is the greatest of our time, there are a lot of people who refer to him as a "jackass", or anything of the negative tense.

While the dislike for West continues to grow, we believe it all started after the infamous moment at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009, where West dissed country star, Taylor Swift, after she won "Video of the Year". This probably would be named the moment, where West was proclaimed as the infamous "a**hole of Hollywood". In case some of you don't recall this moment, or you just want to relive it for a good laugh, here it is...

You're welcome:

But really though, what's his deal?

His album, "Yeezus", which is West's sixth solo album and is set to be released on the 18th of this month (but yes, it has been leaked), has brought mixed reviews. Some are referring to it as "genius", some refer to it as "don't waste your money". Hmm....  Which brings me to my next point.

I was on Instagram last night, and came across a post regarding West's song, "Blood On The Leaves" (also on the "Yeezus") album... And, one particular section in the lyrics was highlighted... And coincidentally it matched a particular situation between West's ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose, and her soon to be husband, Wiz Khalifa. Take a look..

Hmmm... Shots fired?

Now we do not know if this was an intentional diss to the happy couple or not, but if this is true, it seems like West spends an awful lot of time throwing shade at other people. You would think West would be happy by now. He has a successful career, dating one of the baddest chicks in Hollywood, AND got her pregnant! Why throw salt on your ex and her new life? Maybe it's his way of say "Congrats on the marriage and baby, Amber!"

Speaking of Congratulations...

Congratulations to KimYe', and the birth of their baby girl! Details from EOnline indicate the baby weighed a little under 5 pounds, and is basically Kim's mini-me with the dark hair. Though the couple has not revealed the name of their new addition, EOnline reports that the name will "start with a K", and could possibly have West's late mother's name, "Donda", as her middle name.

  

What do you all think? BLAB it to us!
