Thickettes I know I don’t post like I use to but I am preparing to do BIG things for the plus size world so that’s taking a lot of my energy. Anyhoo my blog buddy and I were talking about D-List Celebrities last night and why they feel the need to make things bigger than what they are. So I decided to let Fazhionwhore do a guest post to talk about these WACK D-Listers!

Guest Post by Fazhionwhore

D-Lister: A very minor celebrity according to the Ulmer scale of bankability. Key word: bankability. This list was created to humble those who give themselves to much self importance where they offer very minimal proceeds to an industry that garners billions of dollars. Basically, if nobody will miss you if you dropped off the entertainment scene today, chances are you’re probably a D-Lister. Here are the 8 prongs to identify a true D-Lister (*Please check these before leaving your house thinking your actually the life of the party…):

1. Your rise to fame is because you acted a complete a** on some reality show in efforts to be the center of attention and get extra airtime;

2. You have absolutely NO talent but still manage to grace the covers of magazines looking like you just won an Oscar or something;

3. You don’t even have your own place. Please own a piece of property, car (New York D-Listers excluded), etc. There’s nothing more pathetic than sleeping on someone else couch but you have 10,000 Twitter followers (*priority check.)

4. People only recognize you as an A-List celebrities ex. “Person 1: Who is that again? Person 2: Ohh that’s __fill in the blank__ ex -boo.”

5. You get a rush from getting in the club for free because the bouncer recognizes you. When you’re getting bottles of Ace of Spades and over $50K to show up at venues, then we can talk about something.

6. “I bet you think this song is about you”. Everything you see on facebook, myspace, twitter or even on thicksational.com or johnnaknowsgoodfood.com, for that matter, is not about you. Check your actions before you check the messenger.

7. Something borrowed, something blue. Please get your own s***. Stop gallivanting around town with your managers, producers or even your mama’s Maybach and/or showcasing someone elses mansion as your own. You don’t have it like that! The first step is: admitting. it’s. not. yours.

8. Leave the MAC at home, no one cares what you look like. A-list celebrities stroll around Roberson and SoHo daily with a casual style…typically minimal to no makeup, Starbucks in hand, shades to keep the paps and sun out. These people are actually busy working and contributing to the industry with their talents. As a D-Lister, you get an inkling of this attention…but now that I think about this again, maybe you should bring out all the MAC since you’re only going to get these 15 minutes, right??

Kristie Alley’s Big Life series premieres on Sunday, March 21 at 10PM ET/PT  on A&E. Check out the sneak peak.

This woman irks me. She hates herself so much that it makes me sick to my stomach. Since Kristie never had a weight issue growing up, I feel she clearly didn’t know what to do with her curves when she started to gain weight. But………..(forgive me thickettes because you know I am about to go IN) if she was skinny her whole life what they hell happen for her to go from a size 6 to a size 16? She may not want to admit it but something drastic had to happen for her to gain weight so in my opinion if she loses again or gains more she clearly has deeper issues going on than just her weight.

If you don’t love yourself at your weight now you damn sure will not love yourself when you are “skinny”.

Why do you people feel that if they are thin it will solve all their problems? If you were depressed at a 16 you will be depressed at a 6. If you constantly worry about what people think of you at a 16 DAMMIT YOU WILL FEEL THE SAME WAY AT A 6!

I am tired of her disrespecting our community because she hates herself. You can lose weight on the show all you want Kristie but if you don’t fix whatever is going on that caused you to gain weight in the first place trust me your a** will gain the weight again.

Oh and for the record I am full figured, THICKSATIONAL to be exact so if you think we shouldn’t call ourselves that then that’s your opinion but you can kiss my thicksational a** because I know my thickettes and I are some bad Mamma Jammas!

For those who have emailed me about being a strong woman. This is for you.

The Power of Being A Strong Woman (not for the weak-minded).

By: Dawn “The Self-Esteem Queen”™

Powerful women know that failure is never an acceptable option.

Though I’m always thankful to Adam for his rib, I know that there are some things that God only gave me in terms of wisdom. There are many women in the World who are afraid to step out from the shadow of their non-creative self due to the fear that as a woman, they will not be able to get ahead. Even with so many strong women making their mark in society as prominent authoritative figures, there is that crowd that walks around in needless fear. These women MUST know that they hold the power that keeps them in bondage and the power to get out and become what they daydream about.

Strong women have learned that influence is a gift from God that shouldn’t be used to manipulate their professional and personal life.

Often the powerful woman must straddle the fence of exuding confidence while simultaneously learning how not to allow that confidence to alter her judgments when dealing with others. There are some who become alert to their power to influence others and use this to their advantage in a malicious manner to make profits from their power. Strong women DON’T manipulate those they serve. This is a fact.

I don’t seek recognition for my good deeds from earthly persons.

There was a time when I wanted to let everyone know how great I was, how wonderful all my accomplishments were, and how I was just so great. I have since learned that this is not a way to possess my power. I get power each time my path is directed in a way I cannot explain. My power lies in letting my Guide make my heavy decisions. Whenever someone steps up to recognize something I have done, I am always quick to acknowledge the assistance I received from the Universe instead of taking all the credit.

Strong women know power is in the silence of your mouth and the loudness of your deeds.

I always say, “Your actions speak to loud I can’t hear anything you say.” Oftentimes we get caught up in trying to let others know who we are and what we stand for. The art of being a strong woman is that you already exude that from the confidence of your walk to the authority you command when your actions speak volumes for your mouth. I was once told that those who speak a lot only like to hear the sounds of their voices. A strong woman knows that actions mean more to the World than a good speech any day.

I walk in awareness of my importance.

I spend most of my time in a state of reflection with God. Early in my career I determined that I was not going to let people or things in life dictate my happiness. I have been tried and tested and this has taught me that being influential causes you to be a target for the “nay-sayers” and “you can’t accomplish that” venom throwers. The key, a strong woman knows, is continuing on the path that will eventually lead you to your purpose no matter what those who seek to destroy your dream will say.

Thickette Jill Scott is being sued by her record label Hidden Beach for breach of contract.

Hidden Beach believed its relationship with the singer would continue through the end of the contract and both sides had worked on developing her next three CDs, including the next one called “The Sun,” according to the complaint.

“It was therefore a complete surprise shock to Hidden Beach when … Scott informed (the label) through her attorneys that she has decided to move on and will no longer perform recording services for Hidden Beach,” the suit states. (Source: Fox)

Also a thicksational.com informant tells us that Jill has been in DIVA mode lately since her acting career has taken off.

Who knows, I hope they work it out. It might be more expensive to leave the label than to finish out the contract.

Sidebar: Doesn’t it seem like every time a WOMAN makes a big decision regarding their career she is called a Diva or a B*tch?
