A-List Weekend Round Up: Blu Ivy's Tea Party, The Obama's Trip To Cuba, Tyler Perry Narrates, "The Passion"



Happy End Of The Weekend A-Listers! Once again we've approached Sunday Fun-day! Or as many of us like to call it...Sunday Bum-day (Monday, please...hold off for another day...or 2).

Nonetheless, before heading to our weekly 9 to 5's, or dream chaser grinds, let's take a look at what went on this past weekend with some of our fave A-List celebs.

The First Family of Fly the United States recently touched down in Havana, Cuba for an official state visit and bilateral meeting with President Raul Castro.

Moments before stylishly exiting the Air Force One, POTUS took time to alert his Cuban Twitter peeps of his arrival.


This will be the first visit to the island nation by a sitting U.S. president in nearly 90 years, and is considered an "historic opportunity" for Obama.

"Back in 1928, President Coolidge came on a battleship, it took him three days to get here. It only took me three hours."

...Funny Prez

And now for some adorable Pre-Easter news...Tea Party anyone?

Bunny ears, tea cups, and a crown of roses were a few things describing Blu Ivy and auntie Solange's fun play date together that took place over the weekend. A growing Blu was all smiles and giggles wearing a cute sleeveless hot pink dress while Solange rocked a matching royal blue suit jacket combo.

It's unclear whether or not the festivities were brought to life with the help of Photoshop, but one thing's definitely for sure; They had a muy good time!

Speaking of Easter, will anybody be tuning in to watch Tyler Perry's narrated musical, The Passion? 

If anyone of you guys are unsure about what exactly this is, it's a modern day retelling of Jesus Christ's betrayal, death and resurrection that will take place in the streets of Tyler's hometown, New Orleans.

The 2-hour live event debuts tonight and will include songs of today's time like, Katy Perry's "Unconditionally" "Home," "My Love Is Your Love" and more.

Interesting.

The cast includes Jencarlos Canela as Jesus, Trisha Yearwood as Mary, and "Kiss From A Rose" singer Seal as Pontius Pilate.

The show airs tonight (Palm Sunday) at 7pm CST/8pm EST (which means if you didn't already hear about it, you're about an hour late BUT you still have time for the middle and ending!)

Impersonator Skillz On Fleek: Ariana Grande Masters Rihanna, Whitney Houston, & Britney Spears Voice Imitations


If anyone ever needs someone to deliver a bomb musical tribute of songs from any legendary icon or popular female artist in the game, Ariana Grande just might be your girl...

Last night the "Dangerous Woman" singer showed off her impressive impersonation skills during an SNL skit which poked fun of the recent streaming issues that have gone on with hip hop mogul Jay Z's music service Tidal. 

In the sketch Grande, who plays an intern for the music company, is asked to save the day by doing her best imitation of artists whose music is in jeopardy of being lost after a power outage occurs in the building.

Ariana goes on to impersonate some of the biggest A-List artists in the industry including, Brittney Spears (KILT it!), Shakira, Rihanna (Hilarious!), Whitney Houston and Celione Dion. 

They say as an artist you have to have range...and this chick definitely has range. Take a look at the hilariously funny and genius impersonations below. 


A-List Weekend Round Up: The Obama's Canada State Dinner, Rob Kardashian's Massive Weight Loss, Ciara & Russell Wilson's Engagement & More!


Chicks I'm back...By popular demand...Orrr just by passion, BUT nevertheless I'm back and I missed ya'll. Hey ya'll heeeey!

Ok, so It's been a hot minute since I've been running up and down these blog streets and let's just say a LOT has been going on around here!

1st:  Kim and Kanye introduced their adorable cutie pie Saint West to the world! (as well as Yeezy's $53 million dollar debt struggle -_-)
2nd: Actor Charlie Sheen announced his diagnosis of HIV (Yikes and Prayers!)
3rd: Ciara made Future her past and upgraded moved on to NFL baller Russell Wilson, who recently made the pop singer his fiance! Or as some like to call it, his $22 million dollar (cost of the ring) boo. Congrats!
4th: Beyonce called ALL women...ah heck who are we kidding? The entire Black race to get into Formation and feel proud about who they are.
5th The hoopla surrounding the 2016 presidential election: Make history with the first Female leader of the Free World orrr Trump...let that marinate...Trump.

Needless to say, there's been muy tea to sip on!

Which brings us to the most delicious tea flavors of today (or of the week), so take a look below and get the deets on what's been going on with some of our favorite A-List celebs.

Warning: Drink tea responsibly. Sipping too fast may cause severe damage from excitement, nosiness, and/or slayage:

First on deck is none other than The First Family! Sending us all to our coffins one gown at a time was FLOTUS Michelle Obama with gorgeous daughters, Sasha and Malia who used the key at this week's Canada State Dinner to unlock all of our fashionable hearts.



Both Obama sisters were elegantly dressed in Naeem Kham floor length gowns that seemingly fit both of the First Daughters personalities. 17-Year Old Malia wore a classic strapless beige gown adorned in gold jewels while younger sister, 14-Year Old Sasha, modeled a black lace dress with light blue and crimson floral patterns, paired with a semi edgy black choker.





The night not only seemed to be filled with slayage from the girls, but also making dreams come true! The below pic of Malia giving the thumbs up to Sasha meeting her teenage dream crush, actor Ryan Reynolds says it all.

As for the most sought after and watched woman of the evening, Michelle Obama dawned an indigo blue strappless Jason Wu gown heightened with floral print. Let's not forget the flawless hair and toned arms. We see ya First Lady!





Then there's the POTUS. A man who finds a wife...I'm just saying (Prov 18:22).




Taking us from Family goals to what appears to be weight loss goals is Rob Kardashian and alleged beau Blac Chyna.

The two were spotted over the weekend copping some fresh gear from Diamond Supply Co. apparel, with Rob looking noticeably thinner and healthier. The only male of the Kardashian empire was diagnosed with diabetes in December 2014 after massive weight gain, and Blac Chyna has reportedly been there every step of the way to help whip her new lad back into shape.

I could so go for a Blac Chyna and Tyga comment right here, but the way my 2016 is set up...(I'm trying to grow ladies and gents smh).

Well A-Listers, I think we may all be caught up to speed sans the Kim K. nudes that recently went viral and take place often, the details of Ci and Russell's engagement, and what we can't seem to make go away, the disturbingly and most disgusting footage of the Trump campaign (see below for enlightenment).

Good to be back! Until next time ;)  XO - "A"

A-List Weekend Round Up: Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill, Kanye & Kim Kardashian, Dwyane Wade & Gabrielle Union And More!


The end of the weekend has once again veered its ugly head, so why not go out with a bang by taking a stalker's approach to see what's happened in some of the lives of your favorite A-List celebrities!


Omeeka!: Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill were spotted taking a page out of Jay Z and BeyoncΓ©'s book (and also promoting their latest single featuring Chris Brown, "All Eyes On You"), sharing a real life Drunk & Love moment of the two spending a little QT together on the beach. Just another day on the 'Gram letting folks know their love is real or nah.

A video posted by Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj) on

The West's are in the building!: Kanye and Kim Kardashian-West took their adorable model-in-training daughter North West on a movie date, making a family fashion statement donning khaki and salmon pink hues with the ladies rocking fashionable chic pony's.




Milfin' around: Muva Rose made her viral rounds on the internet again this weekend after uploading pics of her showing support to her latest endorsement deal, Fitness Tea, while also quenching pervs fans thirst by once again displaying her infamous cakes...that you won't be viewing here.


Black love: It was fun day Sunday for the Wade's as Gabrielle and D-Wade made a visit to the art gallery to admire one of contemporary graffiti artist Retna's black on black paintings. The couple posed alongside the portrait in matching fedoras and black on black outfits.

 
 
Oh Baby!: NFL Baller turned reality star Desean Jackson and pregnant girlfriend Kayla Phillips celebrated the birth of their unborn child today with family and friends at their baby shower. 
 



Oh no he didn't! Oh yes he did: Another day, another shade thrower. Lil Duval entered blog territory this weekend after posting a comment about Nicki Minaj's ex Safaree not being a real artist. To make matters worse, the struggling comedian compared S. Beezy's talent, or according to Duval lack thereof, to Nicki's current beau Meek Mill.


Not to worry on whether or not Safaree was bothered! The aspiring rapper uploaded a counter vid to Duval's comments reminding fans he's here to accomplish his goals and not here to give time to the simple minded people. His words, not mine.

Back That Thang Up: Teyana Taylor Twerks To Sam Cooke's Inspirational Song "A Change Is Gonna Come"

 

When life gives you lemons, make twerk-a-nade?...

Amidst all the unjustifiable drama, most recently being the uproar of the confederate flag fiasco, the ongoing killings of unarmed African American men, and all the other injustices taking place around the world, G.O.O.D artist Teyana Taylor has decided to relax your mind by offering up an alternative rendition to RnB singer Sam Cooke's powerful hit, "A Change Is Gonna Come."

The song, originally penned by the late great to address his own personal struggles, including an event in which Cooke was turned away from a "whites only" motel in Louisiana, has since been remixed by the raspy soul bearing diva to better relate to what appears the generation of today is more prone to grasp on to -- which in this case is a non-stopping, booty popping, shake what ya' mama gave ya' twerk fest! Lawd!

In the short video you witness Teyana donning a cowboy hat while belting out Cooke's opening lyric, "I was born by the river..." As the songstress continues on with the tune she hesitates moving to the next verse before busting out into her own interpretation of the American Civil Rights anthem, giving fans what I assume is the 2015 version instead.

To better understand the remake of the newly updated song the lyrics went a little something like this..." I was borrrn by the river! The river. The riv...ri...ri...ri. I was born by the river I was shaking that @#s! Bend it over pop that p##sy I was shaking that @#s."




 Welp, Juvenile would be proud. Check out the video for yourself below.


I guess finding out you have a sold out concert will make you do some strange thangs eh? Congrats T.!

Chris Brown To Bruce Jenner: You're A Science Project!

 

Either something's deeply troubling Chris Brown or he just purely enjoys being the center of not so good attention...

And on this week's episode of No Filter Friday's, Chris goes HAM (for no apparent reason) again!

The "Private Show" singer, who has become the master of being not so private, is back in the headlines AGAIN for taking jabs at a celebrity, and this time it's the Kardashians patriarch, Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner.

In a post, uploaded to the singer's Instagram account, Breezy attempted to shed some positive light on singer Akon's latest and greatest Lighting Africa initiative (which entails bringing electricity to 600 million people in Africa with the use of solar power!) but instead overshadowed THAT master plan by posting a shade covered meme that compared Bruce to a science project.

 

And apparently he's not the only one feeling salty about Bruce trading his man of steel for a pair of heels. According to the Dog father himself, Snoop D-O-Double G ain't having it either!

In fact, the "California Roll" rapper was the first out of the two to post the meme (three days ago to be exact) to make sure people knew exactly where he stood with Akon's project and the unveiling of Caitlyn.


This is the second round of drama Chris has landed himself in over the course of a few hours with the first involving his ex/next girlfriend Karreuche. If you have yet to sip on that tea, Chris basically stalked her then threatened to punch one of her friends in the face  -_-

For more deets on the stalker story you can head over to TMZ yourself. This post is only equipped to supply so many doses of foolery at one time.

Meanwhile, is Kylie sending subliminals to Chris in regards to her dad mom?

Oh Baby! Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Expecting 2nd Child


The Kardashian-West clan just got a tad bit bigger!

After months and months of trying to conceive Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are finally expecting baby number 2!

The big news was delivered in true Kimye fashion Sunday night, airing during a teaser that was shown at the end of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians midseason finale.

During this season of KUWTK Kim shared her struggles with trying to give baby (well toddler now) Nori a little brother or sister, and was very open about the journey not coming as easy as the first time around.

"Trying for baby number 2 is just not fun like baby number 1."

The Wests special delivery comes just in time, as the couple just recently celebrated their one year anniversary.

Awe, congrats to them both! I wonder what they'll name their second child? I'm thinking something along the lines of South West airlines?
