BeYaki at LAX, but she left her hips at home
Yesterday I posted pics of BeYaki attending the Movie's Rock party in LA. I noted at the time how BeYaki's hips are conveniently here today and gone tomorrow. Here's a photo of B taken yesterday at LAX airport. Notice her hips are nonexistent? In fact she's not even shapely. just thick in the thighs with no definition between her hips and her waist. We already know BeYaki wears false bottoms but does she wear hip pads too?
New Apple Bottoms Ad

Does this new Apple Bottoms ad featuring Nelly and a beautiful Nubian model strike you as odd considering the attitudes of rappers towards African American women?
This ad is visually stunning not just because Nelly is handsome as ever, but because the model isn't half naked. She is literally covered from her neck down. Yet she exudes femininity and sensuality. Wow, isn't that a shock?
Me thinks a female designed this ad.

Rapper Pimp C Found Dead
From TMZ.com:
Pimp C, real name Chad Butler -- and one half of the rap duo UGK, wasPermalink
found dead in a hotel room this morning. He was 33.
L.A. County Fire responded to a 911 call at the Mondrian Hotel, located on trendy Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed.
UGK is best known for appearing on the Jay-Z track "Big Pimpin'" in 2000, and more recently with Outkast on the song "International Player's Anthem (I Choose You)."
Jay Z's American Gangster Causes Massive Layoffs at Def Jam
The entire industry is buzzing about the latest round of lay offs at Island Def Jam Records. You recall the previous round of lay offs affected my inside source who supplied me with valuable insider information. I no longer have a source inside the camp, but people have been hitting me up with information nonetheless.
Apparently, Jay Z's "American Gangster" was such a dismal failure that Def Jam was forced to fire everyone involved with the project. Those taking the hit included A&R people and a few of Jay Z's closest associates. Even an independent record label under the Def Jam umbrella silently got the axe.
None of the major artists on the roster were affected by the cuts though. President of Island Urban Music, Jermaine Dupri's newest signee Rocko Da Don's contract is safe for the time being. He is busy putting the finishing touches on his new album to be released early next year.
Several sources say that the millions Def Jam poured into Jay Z's concept album - which failed to crack the platinum ceiling 4 weeks out - has maxed out Def Jam's budget for the next fiscal quarter. Sources speculate that Jay Z promised Def Jam CEO L.A. Reid a golden egg but he couldn't deliver.
One source even told me, "when you add up all the money Def Jam has lost since Jay Z came on board, it's a no-brainer that Jay Z makes terrible business decisions."
T.I. Covers Rap-Up magazine
RAP-UP magazine was recently given exclusive access to T.I.'s luxury digs in Jonesboro for an in-depth interview. The magazine features shots of T.I. looking fit and well-nourished at home. T.I. was arrested on October 13 and charged with multiple weapons violations. A judge released T.I. on bond with strict conditions which include home confinement and 24/7 monitoring.
T.I. shares how he maintains his fast-paced lifestyle, his plans to marry his girlfriend Tiny, staying out of trouble, his friendship with Suge Knight and Jay-Z, and retiring from rap.
"It's definitely not the look I'm going for. I'm working diligently, daily, to try to reform, and rectify these things. But until I do, I need everybody to bare with me. If they can't bare with me one way, they gonna have to bare with me another."
The magazine features two covers for its December/January '08 issue. The other cover is Nicole Scherzinger. Permalink
This blog is closing up shop
Today will be a slow news day on this blog unless Chris Brown and his manager fesses up to their sordid affair.
Tomorrow I am determined to launch my new website at www.sandrarose.com. I've been working hard on it this past week. Paola's design is really awesome. She captured my essence in her design. My friends were blown away by the new site.
Many thanks to Courtney over at Crush Labs for helping me to modify the design. Wordpress is a royal pain in the butt! Even if you have a good grasp of html you will have problems with custom themes in Wordpress. Going from Blogger (with it's easy interface) to Wordpress has been nothing short of a nightmare.
This blog will be closed after today. So join me over on my new blog in the morning. Thank you all for your patience and perseverance.
By the way, you will have to register again on the new blog in order to post comments. Your first comment must be approved by me. After that you are welcome to post comments freely. We here at Sandrarose.com do not infringe upon any one's freedom of speech rights. So even my haters (Smokie, JustShayla, etc) are welcome to post.
However, be aware that I will have 3 different ways to ban repeat offenders.

Blind Item: Downlow Female Celebrity
Photos: Wireimage/Getty
This is one of Myra Pinache's infamous Blind Items. I'm usually good at guessing some of these Blind Items but this one has me stumped. I have NO clue who this could be about. I'm posting this so my readers can take a shot at guessing who it is while I sit back in the cut.
This black female celebrity is very famous but she continues to make bad choices in regards to her personal life. The pain from her failed romances led her to embark on a very downlow relationship (for two years) with a black actress (who has only appeared in a few films).Permalink
This actress seems to be in love with our famous female but the love is not reciprocated. Our female celebrity only uses her (for affection) when a failed romance with a man goes awry.
Sadly, the little known actress has become like a sick puppy around the famous female. Their discreet relationship now resembles that of a domanitrix and slave. She jumps at her commands and she does all the house work and cooking. She's become a flunky and lackey.
And, when our famous female gets tired of her, she kicks her to the curb without warning and tells her not call.
Then, like clockwork, when our famous female has another failed romance, she lets the actress back into her life.
Our famous female is so desperate to find a husband, she attends all the industry events with the big hollywood players and all the sporting events.
Despite her good looks, many of these men date interracially exclusively and this leaves her out in the cold.
When a man does hook up with her, the relationship always seems to end after a few months.
Hints: It's "not" Gabrielle Union, Halle Berry or Beyonce and the little known actress is not known outside of the black community. (Source: Panache Report)
A Cry For Help
Photo: WENN via CelebSlam
Amy Winehouse looks like she's on the verge of a nervous break down. London's Daily Mail reports that a disheveled Amy appeared barefoot and half naked in the street outside a friend's home in London on Sunday.
She was distraught and crying as the paps snapped away. Witnesses said Amy appeared to be looking for someone - probably her husband Blake who is locked away in the cells for witness tampering which they apparently take very seriously in London.
Some form of intervention is needed here. But her label probably hopes she kills herself since there's more money to be made off dead celebrities.
Two Men, One Senseless Law
3,000 fans attended the funeral of Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor in Miami, Florida today. 3,000 people who will never get to see Sean Taylor catch an interception or sack an opposing quarterback because of a senseless law that seeks to deprive black men of their right to bear arms.
Gun control opponents will fight tooth and nail to protect their right to bear arms, but secretly they prefer not to see that right extended to black men. The law that prohibits convicted felons from owning or being in possession of guns is nothing more than federally mandated gun control.
Keeping guns out of the hands of convicted felons is unfair to their families and unfair to those who have paid their debt to society. The problem with the law is not that it simply doesn't work, but that it prevented a good man like Sean Taylor from protecting his family and his home.
If Sean Taylor had a gun in his home last Monday, the outcome would have been very different. A machete is no match for a gang of lawless teens with a handgun.
Some of George Bush's Enron friends are convicted felons. Yet you can bet they have guns in their homes to protect their families. And if they ever have to use those guns in self defense, I'm sure they won't be fined $3 million in cash and placed on home confinement.
Does it make sense that Sean Taylor is dead and T.I. is deprived of the right to provide for his family due to a senseless law? I'm not saying every convicted felon is a family man who has turned his life around, but even convicted felons who have served their debt to society, have the right to be safe from crime.
Photo of the Day: Jodie Foster's $300 Haircut

Hollywood sources say screen legend Jodie Foster prepared for her appearance at The Trevor Project's Cracked Christmas Benefit in Los Angeles yesterday by getting a haircut, color and style at a high end beauty salon.
The price for the services: a staggering $300!
Would you pay $300 to be the only woman in the room who looked like you just walked in out of a wind storm? Jodie is one of my favorite actresses so I'm not hating. I still watch "The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane" starring Jodie as a 14-year-old serial killer. Talk about intense!

Rev Run's Word Of The Day (We MUST Believe)
Good morning. The scripture says in the book of Hebrews that we MUST believe that God IS..a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. The key word is "MUST". We MUST believe that he IS and that he rewards the diligent.

Word Of The Day (A Promise Proven True)
Good morning, Everyone wanted to see the great deliverer that God had promised to send. Yet Simeon had God's special assurance that he would meet him. As time went by, perhaps Simeon wondered if he had heard God correctly-- would he live long enough to meet the deliverer? However, he obediently went to the temple whenever God moved him. And on one very special day, the promise was proven true-- Simeon met Jesus. You may have a promise that has been long in coming. You wonder whether you heard God-- or just the loud longings of your heart. Today, be obedient to God, and you like- wise will see his promises to you proven true. Have a Blessed day.

Chamillionaire on Larry King Tonight

Rapper Chamillionaire and talk show guru Larry King: that's an interesting combination. I will be tuning in to CNN's Larry King Live tonight to hear Cham discuss Don Imus' return to radio. Cham surprised me when I heard him speak recently. He is a very deep and intellectual brother. As you know Cham was the first rapper to release a rap CD without offensive language or lyrics that are degrading to women.
Cham will appear as a guest on CNN's Larry King Live at 9pm EST/6pm PST. Thanks to Tracy Nguyen of 5W PR for the tip!

Lauren London engaged to Lil' Wayne?
They're saying "ATL" actress Lauren London got engaged to half man, half beast Lil' Wayne in Atlanta recently. If the rumors are true, Lauren London's parents have reason to be very scared. Imagine your virginal daughter being engaged to that freak. There's no telling how many diseases he picked up from all the groupies he's laid.
But they say Lauren is a freak too and that she's been dating Wayne on and off for years. For the record, I don't believe it, but you never know.
