Janet Jackson gets another ring put on it

Word around is that Janet Jackson is engaged to long time boyfriend Wissam Al Mana. Congratulations! My take on long engagements still stands (read previous post) so hope the wedding takes place sooner rather than later.
Ms. Jackson was previously married to El deBarge.

Chicago, Ghita and all things sweet!

Happy 4th of July!..a day after. I hope you did fill up on some good food/fireworks. Anyways I promised to return with a blog about Chicago and one of my favorite labels, Ghita by Alexis Phifer. Chicago I went to the Windy city to see one of my best friends and shout out to her for making sure I had a wonderful time. 1 star out of 5 for her..lol. If you have never been, you have to at some point. Wherever you are, out of the US, make it your stop on the way in; within the US, look for a cheap ticket on a weekend. What I did like about the place was the downtown scene, from the shopping street corners with designers like Coach, Armani, Louis Vuitton and more to the food....ah the food, the pizza was awesome, best ever and I am so not a pizza-eating person but they won me over!

I especially liked the Spring...

A popular team is the Lakers so it is safe to say I know the faces of most of the team members and a few names in addition. I was familiar with who D.J. Mbenga was on court but not off court as in where he is from and all that including how funny he really is. Anyways I stumbled on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night and about 9 members of the L.A. Lakers team were on the show including Kobe, Fisher, Ariza, Gasol and Mbenga. At some point the whole team was ribbing Mbenga on his accent; thats no problem, infact it looked like the whole team was friendly with each other and you know how guys tease each other, it was fun to watch. But what confused me was when Jimmy Kimmel mentioned that he would like to hire Mbenga as a security guard on the show. Now I kn...
