Cameron Diaz, P Diddy: ‘D’ Beauty playing with ‘D’ Beast

9 06 2008

This past week, the Media buzzed about Cameron Diaz’s latest companion who happened to be a ‘playa’ we all know too well. The dude born “Sean Combs” aka “Puff Daddy” aka “Bad Boy” aka “P. Diddy” aka “Sean John” aka what next…? – Phew!!! I’m having headache here. If a guy can have numerous aliases in his life time, then you need to wonder who this guy really is or just conclude that he is man of different characters.

Consequently, it would only be logical for someone like Diddy to thrive on varieties. Some people would say: So what? “Variety is the spice of life.” But variety could be a self-centered and exploitation behavior of seducing women, especially when a music mogul like P.Diddy is involved. Borrowing wisdom from John McCain’s book, “Character is Destiny,” It could be better said that “Character is Integrity.” Undoubtedly, P. Diddy must have gotten integrity in his business dealings otherwise he wouldn’t have been so successful. However, he has “zero integrity” as far as “love deals” are concerned.

Throwback, P. Diddy and his cohort, the late Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie, had lifestyle patterns of being circled by groupies [2 smartest-ass groupies of such encounters are Lil Kim and Faith Evan; both of whom made it big; thanks to Biggie]. Just as B.I.G. was allegedly dating the two aforementioned ladies simultaneously, he had a baby-mama which some claimed to be his common law wife.

This same approach has been a norm for P. Diddy who fathered two children from two different women [ex groupies? Possibly!], while having affair with Jennifer Lopez (J. Lo). When J. Lo became bygone, the Bad Boy was back cripping with one of his baby-mamas, Kim Porter. Two more babies, he was out on the street again looking for more lame chicks. Since his newest babies were born, there has been many reports of him romancing some ‘white chicks’ on the French Riviera and God knows where else… It was also buzzed that there are other faceless jump-offs includes his protégé turned singer, Cassie. And the most recent hi-profile babe attempt before Diaz was Eddie Murphy’s quickie wife, Tracey Edmonds.

Therefore, how in this world could Cameron Diaz hook with P. Diddy? If nothing else, the Bad Boy appellation is enough to make any woman [in her right sense] to run for the hills. If the Diddy-Diaz love-affair materializes, it could be the same old factors of ‘money’ and ‘power’ which can draw even A-listers women to suboptimal men. P. Diddy is what he is. Old habits of womanizing don’t die easily, and many times they never did. In my view, P. Diddy is not slowing down anytime soon in his escapades. He is out to taste very “woman race” on the surface of this planet. He had black Latino, and white chicks. It is only a matter of time before he goes hunting for some ‘Asian’ and ‘Eskimos’ chicks.

As for Cameron Diaz, the best way not to have a broken heart is not to expect anything much from a “rolling stone” like P. Diddy. Hey Cameron, “they say half bread is better than none.” So have fun baby, while it lasted and dust off your skirt when it is over; pretend as if it never happened.

‘Lil Mama’ Got The Hype, So Waarrup!

14 05 2008

In the beginning there was a notorious rapper called Lil Kim and 10 years later there was a dangerous one tagged Remy Ma. Integrating the aforementioned rappers’ names, a cute ‘young thang’ called Lil Mama was born and became a media’s darling. Despite her ironic name [as she looks like a baby], the rave reviews she has generated in the past few months is enough to make her hero rappers envious or fade into obscurity. Things have been pretty rough for vets like Foxy Brown and Lil Kim whose serve as sources of inspiration to Lil Mama; coincidentally, these two famous inspirations are certified ex-convicts. In the same path, Remy Ma’s new-found fame was cut short as she was just sentenced to 8 years for attempted man slaughter.

Good enough, Lil Mama did not started out as typical gang star rapper. Probably that is the reason she is being regarded as a new female hip-hop ambassador. So much are the media praises of her that some papers such as People magazine accorded her VYP Title (Voice of the Young People). In dicey entertainment industry, it is a known fact that cost of fame could be very problematic. One could fall as fast as he/she rises. Lil Mama looks sharp and sounds smart; she must have learned from her hero’s missteps.

….

Hopefully, she would use the knowledge to keep it clean and steer clear of trouble. But one thing though, she would need a priest to exorcize the demons out of Lil kim and remy maMa monikers to avoid bad lucks by name association. You see, thuggish name can make one looks really bad. Remy Ma can tell you as she betrayed her own ‘aka’ and cried to the presiding judge that she is no ‘mama’ that her name is Remy Smith, and it is no wonder Busta Rhythm preferred to be called Mr. Rhythm instead of Busta!! when he was being tried for assault few month ago.

….

Eventually, hip-hop community would fully realize that rappers don’t have to be violent or thuggish to make hit records. Lesson should be learned from likes of Kanye West and Will Smith who stick to their original names and still made huge impacts in the music world. It’s all about talent.

Why Ugly Guys Are So Hot

26 03 2008


jlo1.jpgheidi_klum11.jpgIt’s been proven that Brad Pitts and George Clooneys of the world are not the only guys having all the fun. The New York Daily News presented a study which shows that the ugliest-of-the-uglies can be as competitive as the hunkiest-of-the-hunkies when it comes to pretty gals – not just any girls, I mean extremely beautiful women, such as Beyonce, J Lo, and Heidi Klum. Although Heidi’s man wasn’t included in the NYDN examples, probably because the media has been careful not to tag Heidi’s beau, Seal, as ugly. He is commonly described as the guy with a very “distinctly look”; Yeah right! – that needs some elaboration.

Another example used is Jay-Z who has never been lucky in overall press reviews of the “best-looking-celebrities.” And there was Howard Stern; instead of him as another example, I think Don Imus would have been perfect. There is no doubt, Stern’s hair is wacky but he is a good looking dude. 17a_notoriousbig1.gifLet’s add the late jay_z1.jpg1129056602970-larryking_sq1.jpgNotorious B.I.G. cripping with Faith Evans and Lil Kim simultaneously, which led the ladies into a “catfight” over him. And Larry King with many wives. Also Dennis Rodman who was the craziest-looking player in NBA, yet it was very easy for him to bed Carmen Electra.

If there is anything that NYDN’s report didn’t confirm is that the so-call ugly guys are the one with deep-pockets!! Apparently, an average “shrek” would not be that fortunate with pretty girls. If Marc Anthony, Seal, Jay-Z, Biggie weren’t successful in their acts, these famous beautiful chicks wouldn’t have given them chances. The report fell short of some bad characters. Some ugly guys can be as bad as their looks. Just like handsome hunks, some “unpretty dudes” are famous for cheating on their partners. For instance, Vince Vaugh and P. Diddy [the latter not too bad as he grooms a lot] are notorious for getting beautiful women laid for few months and dumped them like pieces of garbage.

That said, cripping with “unpretty guys” is not a sure way of “beaus retention”. As in business, relationship is all about taking chances. You would never know who could be a ‘keeper’ or ’strayer’. The chances of women striking it long with guys, good-looking or not, are dicey. Currently, Eliot Spitzer is the most famous example of an “unpretty Ricky” turned prostitution-ring “playa” big-time!! Y’all know what I am saying.

In summation, it’s all boil to “money, power, and respect” as Lil Kim sang; and success. Those four factors could make the ugliest Johns very attractive to the most beautiful damsels in the world. To women, financial security matters more than hunky looks. As the saying goes in New York: “Money Talks, Bullshit Walks.”
