NFL’s Troy Vincent’s Travel Tips (Video)

I’m happy to see my former teammate doing well working for the NFL these days. Although he’s a few years older than me, former Philadelphia Eagle cornerback Troy Vincent & I were teammates in high school. Although my dreams of playing in the NFL were cut short in college, I’ve always routed for Troy because he was one of us who made it to the big leagues. One of the key reasons why Troy had such a great career in the NFL & continues to do so in a management capacity is because he’s very organized. That’s where we differ because if you looked at my desk in my home office is NOWHERE near as neat. I’m straight up living the life of a world traveling bachelor with smaller pocket change, but he’s traveling the world successful & settled down into family life. Good job Troy! I bet you he owns some stock in Zip Fizz too. Clever choice to include it in the interview if that’s the case. Troy’s inspiring me to be more organized….(looks around at my office) Ahhh well…maybe not. Hahaa!

Alicia Keys Gets That Azz Waxed (Video)


I can only imagine what the male employees did to Alicia Keys’ wax replica of herself at the Madame Tussauds museum in New York City before the official unveiling. They may even need to hire additional security in case someone tried to take her replica home & literally ‘wax dat ass’. Hahaaa! The super beautiful Alicia Keys, who just so happens to be married to & has a new child with Swizz Beatz, unveiled her new wax likeness & also celebrated the 10 year anniversary of her debut album Songs In A Minor. Yeah..just like Virginia Slims…..you’ve come a long way baby. More photos after the jump….

Atlanta’s ‘Bem Joiner’ Shows Off His Creative Space (Video)


The homie Bem Joiner could arguably be called ‘Mr. Atlanta’…..This brotha was born & raised in Atlanta before all the transplants outnumbered the native ‘Grady Babies’ & if you ever meet him he’ll give you a quick history lesson on respecting the town & its history. Creative Loafing checked in with Bem to talk about his lifestyle. Check out the video above & for the complete interview at the link below…

LINK: CREATIVE LOAFING INTERVIEWS BEM JOINER ABOUT HOME & STYLE

Excerpt From Interview:

What’s your favorite thing about Atlanta?

The city has been a blessing for so many who have moved from worse situations. The fact that it’s helped so many people. But it’s hard to be a native. You remember when the Braves went from worst to first, original Freakniks. We’re all over the place, culture-wise. And creatives are forced to live like Ninja Turtles. They have to live underground like some Splinter shit. We’re trying to help, but no one understands what we’re doing. But it’s collaborative, everyone passes projects on to one another. The city and its creatives should have a symbiotic relationship — creatives go hand in hand with the progress of a city.

Mashonda On The Cover Of KING Magazine (Video)


Swizz Beatz’s ex-wife & singer Mashonda graces the latest cover of KING Magazine due on newstands March 29th. Despite her R&B career not exactly taking off, Mashonda was always a very attractive woman. She had wifey type of look & a KING Magazine photoshoot & cover may have been long overdue. It could have been one of the reasons her R&B career didn’t take off like she may have wanted to because she was more in a motherly role & sort of unavailable to be that classy sex symbol male fans would lust over. Good for Swizzy, bad for thousands of brothas who may even thought there was a slim chance to try & holla. Now that she’s divorced she’s really steppin’ out with it. I’m sure alot of brothas don’t mind & if Swizz don’t want her……..
