It is still very hard for me to accept that MJ is gone and his birthday is tomorrow so that doesn’t make it easier. I wanted to share some videos of Michael that truly showed the natural God give talent he had, the human/brother/good man he was and the LEGEND that will never be forgotten.

THE GIFT THAT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY GOD.

MJ was a natural!

THE HUMAN

The media and negative people of the world forgot that Michael was human.

THE LEGEND

There will never be another Michael Jackson. He was the KING OF MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT!

This cover is HOT! Thicksational job Queen! The album is out! Support the Queen of Thickettes! Review coming soon!

Look at this photo!

Peta has lost their minds! I know plenty of people who are plus size and Peta supporters. This billboard was a slap in the face to our community!

Why do people feel like they have to sh*t on other people to make a statement?

To hell with PETA! I am going to continue to eat MEAT!

I am so pissed!

I want to slap some PETA members with a piece of STEAK!

I am done! What are your thoughts?

Kelly Osborne and Macy Gray will be on “Dancing with the Stars” this season!

 

This will be VERY interesting! I know they better bring it and rep for us!

Jaz performed at the Summerstage in NYC last week.

I can’t believe she wore stockings in that heat! She’s a soldier!

The shoes are cute but I dont know how I feel about that skirt.

 

She was also at the Hoodie Awards. This look is THICKSATIONAL!

 

 

JJ will pay tribute to her brother at the MOBO Awards in the UK Sept 9th. She is also working on a new album that is set to be released in early 2010 not to mention her movie “Why Did I Get Married” coming out as well. So for the haters who think Janet is done think again! I think her motivation is 10 times stronger now that her brother is gone. She is going to continue her legacy and his!

Congrats to Jennifer & her man David. She delivered a healthy baby boy on Monday. His name is David Daniel Otunga, Jr. and he weighed in at seven pounds, fourteen ounces.

Congrats again!
