With his personal life in shambles, Julian will find himself willing to travel down the rabbit hole, as it were, when he meets Michael Reed (Vega), a gorgeous stranger who entices Julian to forget his rigid corporate world and try a more bohemian lifestyle, a decision that will not only affect his own life but those of his boss and co-workers, as well as inspire his half-sister Rita (Pinkett Smith) to re-examine her life with her abusive husband.

Rants/Thoughts:
1. Anyone else secretly hoping for a successful Naija romance novel??!? (I see you, Abiola Abrams and your book, Dare!) Oh the possiblities!
2. How do Naija folks manage to squeeze in five parties in one night considering OUR parties never start on time?? You already know that not attending a party you were personally invited immediately means you have conflict with that person. Can someone tell me the secret formula behind that success, pretty please???

DISCLAIMER: all rants/thoughts are in good humor!

On the season 7 finale of "American Idol", our favorite FG2BH celeb Seal performed with Syesha Mercado his hit, "Waiting for You" which you can check out below:


Seal truly treated Syesha as though she was only person in the arena, huh? Check out the proof in the photos...



Heidi is one lucky individual. Anyhow, check out the original verison of Seal's "Waiting for You"....


Seal also did something few male celebs did. He wore the same tee shirt (rather outfit) to two different events. So you already know what that means. Seal has a favorite thing!

2. Can our Naija superstars please wear some designer stuff??!?

Estelle also have a foot fetish with these bronze Yves Saint Laurent tribute sandals. The "American Boy" hit maker was seen in these shoes TWICE...



I guess once a girl loves a style piece, it's hard to break away from it - just ask MJB, Danity Kane, Mariah, and Kelly Rowland. Don't act you fashionistas can't part with one fashion-forward piece in your wardrobe!

Estelle performed on "American Boy" on "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson".



Alek Wek appeared on the cover of "Surface" magazine - issue 72. I saw this over the weekend at my local Barnes & Noble. The magazine may be outdated or new but this is my first time seeing the cover so I scanned it for FG2BH readers...

Rants:
1. How long would it take for Naijas to have their own community? During my time in The Bronx, I woke up every morning in the Summer to a Hispanic-related community event. They would have parades and even their Church would have a festival! How about our own Naijas do the same?? Maybe I'm not living in the 'right' community but some of the Naijas I know enjoy their pride far too much to live next door to one another. These are the very people who enjoy attending a party for FREE than have their kids be friends with one another! (Things that make me go hmmm...)
2. Why is it SO hard to find a great and loyal seamtress that know how to make African traditional garments??!!


Disclaimer: rants are all in good humor!

Trish Stratus









Patricia Anne Stratigias (born December 18, 1975), better known by her stage name Trish Stratus, is a former fitness model, former professional wrestler and television personality from Canada.

After beginning her career as a fitness model, Stratus began working for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which was later renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), in March 2000. Early in her career, she was involved in sexually themed angles, such as managing the team T & A and a storyline affair with Vince McMahon. As Stratus spent more time in the ring, her wrestling skills and popularity strengthened. Because of this, she was a one-time WWE Hardcore Champion, three-time "WWE Babe of the Year" and was proclaimed "Diva of the Decade".

After nearly seven years in the business, Stratus retired from wrestling on September 17, 2006 after winning her seventh WWE Women's Championship, the most in WWE history.

Aside from professional wrestling, Stratus modeled for and appeared on numerous magazine covers and has been involved in charity work. She has also been the host of Canada's Walk of Fame in 2006 and The Second City's Next Comedy Legend in 2007.
