A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Janet Jackson, Carmen Elektra and Danica Patrick, all strike similar poses with very different results.We here at Brown Sista think Janet just schooled a few people on how to do the damn thang.

Rule #1, don’t strike the booty pose if you don’t actually have a booty.

Beyonce Has Deja Vu On TRL

Today Beyonce stopped by MTV’s TRL to debut the video to her new hit single “Deja Vu”.What can we here at Brown Sista say? The lovely Beyonce looks absolutely stunning in these pics and seems to have a natural glow about her.I guess being “The hottest chick in the game” will do that for ya.

Be sure to also check out Bey’s new video which can be seen in it’s entirety on MTV’s Overdrive.

Rihanna: Caribbean Queen

Two years ago, she was just another Bajan girl with a dream. Now 18-year-old singer Rihanna is poised to become pop’s next superstar.

Eighteen-year-old Rihanna is lying on the backyard lawn of a private bungalow at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica, California, her arm artfully propping up her head. As a dozen or so people buzz in and out of her personal space, measuring the light, pushing a strand of hair from her forehead, touching up her lipstick, she remains joyful and completely unfazed, even though there’s a camera less than twelve inches from her face.

“Gorgeous, Rihanna!” coos the photographer while the pop sensation locks glances with her friend Dara, who’s watching from the patio. First, she crosses one of her penetrating, cat-shaped eyes, then the other, then both. Over the next several hours, she will have her hair reshaped into a tousled cascade of locks, sip Coca-Cola and nibble on potato chips and chicken wings (hot sauce on the side), all while chatting on the phone (which chirps with her own “Break It Off” or Beyoncé’s “Check on It” ringtone). Even though she has the number one song on the Billboard 100 chart (“SOS”), plus a sex-soaked video running in heavy rotation on MTV (“Unfaithful”), Rihanna is still just a playful, goofy teenager.

Fantasia’s Second Act

As a teen, Fantasia Barrino seemed destined to become another statistic—a wayward youth succumbing to her circumstances, which included being a ninth-grade dropout, a functional illiterate, a victim of child molestation, and a mom at age 16. But instead, as the world looked on, Barrino became a superstar with first-name-only recognition. In 2004, on the finale night of American Idol , 65 million votes were cast, more than President Bush received in the federal election that year. Fantasia received more than half of those votes. Her straight-from-the-streets soul spawned platinum record sales, four Grammy nods, one Billboard Music Award and one NAACP award.

Despite her success, Barrino, who grew up in High Point, North Carolina, refuses to forget those early struggles. In fact, she’s hoping others can learn from her mistakes. “I want to use my story as a testimony,” she says. “I want to tell people you don’t have to be perfect to be what you want to be. You want to be a lawyer or a banker? Pick yourself up and go get it.” This month Lifetime Television premieres Life Is Not a Fairy Tale: The Fantasia Barrino Story, based on her gritty New York Times best-selling autobiography.
