Mini Fab: Faith Evans’ New Book+Michelle Obama Covers Newsweek+Other Ish
Faith Evans is writing her memoirs and it’s set to hit shelves August of this year. The rumored book cover is above. Here’s the synopsis:
KEEP THE FAITH is Faith Evan’s first person account of life at ground zero of hip-hop’s greatest generation. She’ll share the truth about the love affair that changed her life, and the innuendo that rocked the hip-hop world to its core. From her passionate and tragically short-lived life with Biggie, Faith will finally lay the true story on the line. We’ll get to see the good, the bad and the ugly side of P Diddy; nobody knew either quite as wellas Faith.
I wonder if this will conveniently be pushed back to drop at the same time as the Notorious movie.
Barack’s wife and First Lady hopeful Michelle Obama is covering the pages of the new issue of Newsweek. Fabulous.
UPDATE: Apparently this issue is actually several weeks old. But the pic is staying up.
Dania Ramirez was spotted at the “Women At Risk” 10th Benefit Event in L.A. last night:
She clearly borrowed her BFF Kelis‘ mom jean flare pants. They had the potential to be cute. But her fabness makes up for it.
Actress Gina Ravera was there too.
Bezjian/Wireimage
And I know Congresswoman Maxine Waters told Dania to go put some damn clothes on. Loves it.
And in non-YBF news, Us Weekly is confirming that Jessica Simpson’s 23 year old lil sis Ashlee is pregnant. Her 28 year old fiance Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy (they conveniently just got engaged last week) is indeed the daddy. Congrats to them if true.
The Randomness:

Oh wow. Dania’s jeans are cute, but not with the Gilligan’s Island top. Kim K. did that look earlier this year, and it wasn’t cute then. A different top would have been ok…
I love Mrs. Obama, but that is not a flattering picture of her.

—-I love Faith and will be picking up this book…
—-I just don’t know how accurate this Biggie movie will be if they are not getting accounts from Faith, Lil Kim, Charlie Baltimore, etc….if its just his mom and Diddy’s view I think it will be…hard to believe.
—-They need to make it as real as Ray was…I know Stevie is a pimp when is that movie coming out…

It’s Mrs Obama’s teeth, that’s the reason why it’s not flattering.

—-I thought the movie of Biggie was coming out Jan 2009, I think Faith should drop the book in August its a good time…will start the buzz for the movie
—-She wants to drop the book before the movie so she can show how inaccurate the movie is going to be..
—-Ya’ll know Diddy is not going to reveal the truth about himself in this movie…come on…

Too many people have jacked Kelis’ style lately, with Rihanna being the most obvious, but I see even her BFF is swagger jacking.

Not sure who Dania is but she’s extremely gorgeous and like few starts has a tid bit of make up on by the looks of it.. her clothes no comment since her prettiness makes up for it.
Love Faith Evans.. cant wait to read her book. maybe she heard pdiddy is printing B.S about her in the movie so she’ll expose him and will really know if what suppahead said is really and he’s an undercover closet hiding you know the rest (P.S irrelevant but none the less i heard that in suppa heads confessions the yound man she left anonymous but she pined was chris brown… thats crazy). Michelle Obama may not be hollywood beauty but still a nice looking older lady that hasn’t been put under the knife. Diddy’s mom can get some tips from her on how to dress and look her age.

I could’ve sworn she denied being pregnant recently…If it wasn’t her, it was some other young Hollyweird chica about to get married…but I really do think it was Ashlee…Oh well good for her…

I’m figuring this is more of the real reason why she is coming out withthis book now. I am sure she MUST have received offers before for a book deal. Why now? Personally, ever since she has been married to her latest husband her career has been steadily gone down hill! The best song she came out with is “Do It All Again” when she got caught with the coke in her ride with her husband! I think she needs new management - he is obviously not on his job! People like Faith & Monica, etc. should not be struggling out here or not on the Billboard charts when chicks like Cassie, who have absolutely no vocal skills, are coming out with new CD’s!

Great interview Natasha! Your site is definitely blowing up! Many blog sites don’t dish on black celebrities and that is what makes your site stand out. Also your personality is crazy and you speak what’s on your mind. Go ahead girl!!

Why can’t Ashley get coverage on this site when Kim and her sisters, Amy Whinehouse and other non-black celebs have stories and pictures posted about them?
I don’t know why you all are always making Diddy out to be the curse. Biggie’s mother is helping to producing the movie, Diddy has nothing to do with it. She is going to have him looking like an angel like she always does. None of them are going to tell the WHOLE truth. Faith is looking for a check. She is just like the rest living off of Biggie’s name. Who really care about her life besides the mess with Big? Leave it in the past, especially considering how she never liked to talk about it before, so why do it now? I really wish folk would let Bigge and Pac rest in peace.

I DO NOT LIKE MICHELLE “MAMA” OBAMA!!!! YEAH I SAID IT!! SHE IS ARROGANT! SHE THINKS SHE IS A MINI CONDOLEEZA RICE BUT CONDI WILL EAT HER ASS UP!! SHE IS NOT THE BLACK WOMAN I WOULD WANT TO BE SEEN AS THE PICTURE OF BLACK AMERICAN WOMEN!! SHE LOOKS LIKE A BOSSY, MEAN SPIRITED, ANGRY BLACK WOMAN WITH NAPPY FREAKIN HAIR!! SHE NEEDS TO LOOK SOFTER! SOMEONE IN HIS CAMPAIGN NEEDS TO GET HER A MAKEOVER!!

Well! Don’t hold back on the Michelle Obama Rant, then! I personally love her swagger. She gives me “I’ll cut a b**** behind my man!” that we need more of for a public face of black marriages and relationships. There’s no mistaking that he has a good source of support and understanding, which makes him look like an even more stable candidate than Ms. Clinton and her commitment-come-lately husband. Get yo’ man in chickety-check or tell him to check out, then we’ll talk about your leadership capabilities. Why should I elect a woman who can’t run her own house as candidate for the White House? Yeah, that might be overreaching, but I meant it.
Faith, if you are reading this:less books, more songs. You KNOW I’mma buy your CD no matter what, but I gives a flying f*** about your personal life unless I can tap my toes to it. I’ve always regarded you so much more highly than these other females deluding themselves into thinking their drama is so intense and unique because they’ve dealt with men who cut records. Trust me, Fay, you have nothing to add. We’ve already READ it, whatever it is!

Seriously, I mean, are you for real with both of these comments. What does “her look” have to do with her capacity to be First Lady? When did standing by your man, raising your children to be respectable young women, and acting in an educated and dignified manner in public turn into she’s arrogant. The problem that I have with both comments is that, you say she looks bossy, mean spirited– least I go on, but all I see in this picture and in the host of other pictures of her is a woman smiling. You (both) are so caught up on image, but you aren’t looking at this woman as an educated Princeton University and Harvard Law School graduate with many years of working in some area of the public and private sectors. What more can we ask for in a First Lady of our country? She can clearly give us, black women (and I’ll go so far to believe that both comments stem from black women) an understanding of what it means to be educated, present ourselves (women) in manner that respectable (in public and private), train our children to do the latter, and hold it down for our men. Please think about what message you are sending when you post a comment of this sort. When need strong, supportive black women on the covers of magazines and in the faces of Americans who somewhat believe black women (and men) only care about flashy jewelry, expensive clothing, and the best way to get over on people. Best of luck to you in your quest to understand the differences.
