Adina Howard: Private Show

Adina Howard: Private Show So you guys remember that sometime ago we discussed Adina Howard and her possible return to the music scene. Well it appears that time is upon us as Adina’s new album, Private Show, is due to hit record store shelves this Tuesday, June 26th. The album boasts production from Black Eye Peas producer Poli Paul and to preview tracks you can check out Adina’s My Space Page . However, with songs like Tease and Phone Sex, I think it is safe to assume that the new Adina is as much a freak as the old one- an observation which I’m sure pleases her die-hard fans.

Weekly Photo Roundup 6.22.06

BJ As another week comes to a close here on Brown Sista, we once again present to you this week’s batch of random images. We will start things off with Bey and Jay who have been having a very PDA week.

Vibe’s 25 Sexiest Celebs

In the July issue of Vibe, the editors got together and compiled what they called Vibe’s Hit List: The 25 Sexiest Celebrities. Ordinarily I would have passed this right on by, but how could I ignore a list that put Benicio Del Toro at #10? Yes, I know. You are all wondering who the heck is Benicio and that is what makes this list, like most lists, utterly laughable, but still worth talking about. Some of the other names to make the list were Jennifer Hudson, Meagan Good and you all know who came in at #1- Beyonce. Check out the list on the next page and you can also check out random images I have posted from this month’s issue as well.

Brown Sista’s Hot 100

Maxim So as they do every year, Maxim magazine has released their list of the 100 hottest women in Hollywood. Of this 100 exactly 6 of them are Black or at least part Black. Ciara came in at #72 followed by Gabrielle Union at #67, Jessica White at #60, Halle Berry at #55, Beyonce at #13 and Rihanna made the top ten by coming in at #8. Now because only 6 of the women were of color, some people have started to complain. We here at Brown Sista however aren’t the least bit concerned with the lack of color on this list because hey- look at the source. Plus, can you really take a magazine seriously that thinks Lindsay Lohan is prettier than any of the above women, or even Jessica Alba who came in at #2 ?
