Toni Braxton skirt/dress assemble fell apart at the buttocks as she performed on stage in New Brunswick over the weekend. Toni kept singing as if her ass was never out. I’m sure she felt the breeze as her dress gave way.
Eventually a gentleman from the audience lent her his jacket.

Yesterday Russell Simmons caused an uproar online after hosting a comedy skit on his YouTube channel called The Harriet Tubman Sex Tapes.
At first Russel thought the tape was funny as he tweeted a link to the video calling it the funniest thing he’d ever seen. However, after an intense dragging Russell was forced to take the video down and apologize.
In the whole history of Def Comedy Jam, I’ve never taken down a controversial comedian. When my buddies from the NAACP called and asked me to take down the Harriet Tubman video from the All Def Digital YouTube channel and apologize, I agreed.
I’m a very liberal person with thick skin. My first impression of the Harriet Tubman piece was that it was about what one of actors said in the video, that 162 years later, there’s still tremendous injustice. And with Harriet Tubman outwitting the slave master? I thought it was politically correct. Silly me. I can now understand why so many people are upset. I have taken down the video. Lastly, I would never condone violence against women in any form, and for all of those I offended, I am sincerely sorry.

Just because something looks attractive does not mean it is genuine or valuable. That’s why you NEVER go by the appearance of anything. Most of the time what you see is not the reality, the outside appearance generally hides all the truth behind what’s real.
Any individual can be judged by his deeds and attitude, when many times, aptitude or fearlessness is found to be a fake one.
In today’s society, everybody appears to be a Christian, quoting scripture and claiming “what thus saith the Lord” when God is far from them. They wear big rings and huge crosses with the shiny bling, when the core of their being is FAKE. God knows the heart!
One has to understand that all those metals that are shiny and yellow in color need not be gold, they might be painted yellow or just any other yellow metal. So one have be aware of the appearance and judge everything. So it is better to keep in mind “All that glitters is not gold”.
Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I talk about “Fake Christians” when their walk is not real and how the devil is in the details.
Access the show at any of the “Conversations Links” in this post or right here!
In the meantime, sound off here!
As I mentioned on my show the other night.
A Swiss high-end boutique issued an apology to American media mogul Oprah Winfrey after a clerk there refused to show Winfrey a handbag she thought was too expensive for her. Obviously the clerk didn’t know who Oprah was and refused to take the bag out of the case.
Oprah was in Zürich, Switzerland to attend Tina Turner’s wedding at the time and is now busy promoting her latest film, ‘Lee Daniels’ The Butler’.
Oprah said: “I was in Zurich the other day, in a store whose name I will not mention. I didn’t have my eyelashes on, but I was in full Oprah Winfrey gear. I had my little Donna Karan skirt and my little sandals. But obviously ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ is not shown in Zurich.
“I go into a store and I say to the woman, ‘Excuse me, could I see the bag right above your head?’ and she says to me, ‘No. It’s too expensive.’”
The saleswoman went on to suggest she look at cheaper bags. ‘I left the store but it proves that racism is still an issue,’ Oprah added.
‘There’s two different ways to handle it. I could’ve had the whole blow-up thing… but racism still exists, of course it does.’
The handbag in question was on sale for £24,460 and was locked in a cabinet to prevent shoplifting.
