This week's HOTNESS!

Do you know who this man is? I do. He is the subject of this week’s HOTNESS edition!

His name is Marlon Yates, he is 23, and he is HOT. He is the boy toy reported romantic interest of one Mrs. Shaunie O’Neal. Shaunie has not missed a step with this one. Her rebounding technique might be better than her basketball playing soon to be ex-husband!

 

Marlon is no stranger to being a kept man with famous women, having been linked to several older women. He makes my inner-cougar go “meow”.

I love these two together. He seems to be very attentive and I am sure that that is exactly what she needs as she tries to put her marriage to Shaq behind her. Marlon even attended a Lakers game with Shaunie in October. I’m sure that made Kobe’s day!

Yeah looks like he has a flourishing career as a “maintenance man” serious model actor. Keep up the good work Marlon! Hope you get your big break soon. . . or maybe you already have.

WTF Friday: Hoarders, you've got to see it to believe it!

 I am addicted to the A&E show "Hoarders". There is something empowering in knowing that no matter how messy my home gets, it's never as nasty as the houses on this show! 

 

Look at this !

 I wonder how people let their homes get to the point of a Condemnation Level 5.  Was it that one undiscarded tin can or that spoiled Chinese take out in the fridge that got the hoarder ball rolling? What was that one thing that couldn't be thrown away that turned this person into a hoarder?  The therapists on the show are diagnosing these people as having chronic obsessive disorder and various other mental issues. I say they are just disgusting and nasty as hell.



How can people live like this?



So if you haven't see the show, here's the premise: People have houses that are on the verge of being condemned and if there is children involved, having protective services come and take the kids. People hoard meaningless items like newspapers and knick-knacks calling themselves collectors while others hoard animals and food. And these homeowners thing there's nothing wrong with how they're living! Yeah having maggots in your refrigerator or and an inoperable toilet with stagnant sludge in it is normal; having rats run across you as you sleep and a stench from your house so bad that mailman won't deliver is perfectly okay. The hoarders even argue with the clean up crews trying to help them. Here's an idea, burn the house down and start over!



There is no liveable space!


 The most disturbing episode of this show is the woman who had 32 cats (13 were dead) rescued from her home. She considered herself a rescuer! She had cat poop everywhere; kitchen counters, stove, she was even walking on it, because her home was so junky that she had nowhere to put liter boxes.  To think about this makes me want to hurl! (insert throwing up sounds here)

Cat poop and old cans of cats food everywhere!

So with all this disgusting-ness (yes I said disgusting-ness) going on, why do I tune in? I can't say for sure. I really feel bad for these people. How can a person live like this? Here's a clip:

YUCK!

Lil Wayne has been released! Wonder who will be getting the post-jail booty call. . .

Let's meet the most likely contestants:

Ex-wife Toya and mother of his 1st child

 Toya Carter – She's his ex-wife and mother of his daughter Reginae. Of all of Lil Wayne's loves she probably knows him best since she has known him since she was 13 (their daughter was born when she was 15). Men have a tendency to go back to the familiar. Rumor has it she has moved on and is engaged to the rapper Memphitz, but that may not mean too much to Wayne.  I'm sure he is financing her lifestyle and probably Memphitz's lifestyle too.  Does Memphitz even have an album? A single? Anything? Memphitz isn't in a position to complain, especially if he's looking for Wayne to sign him to "Young Money".

Baby Mama #4 Nivea

Nivea – These two just can't seem to leave each other alone! They first got together when she was at the height of her career. They went their separate ways and Nivea went on to marry and have a child by music producer The Dream. Once that relationship was over, Nivea got back with Wayne and they now have a 1 year old son, Neal. There is something about this woman that Wayne likes. She has always struck me as being a little strange looking; like her face isn't symmetrical or something. I do believe that Nivea's style was an influence in the making of the first lady of 'Young Money' Nicky Minaj.  There is no doubt she is at the top of his long list of women he will be visiting now that he is has been released.

Baby Mama #3 Lauren London

Lauren London – Something tells me that being pregnant by Lil Wayne during the same time as Nivea has left Lauren  straight on him. She didn't publicize her relationship with him while they were seeing each other…but the fact remains that were seeing each other and have a baby together. Their son, Lennox was born just 2 months before Wayne's baby with Nivea. Maybe Lauren has moved on. It was previously reported that see was seeing Trey Songz. Or maybe Lil Wayne has her hypnotized and she too is eagerly anticipating his release.

Baby Mama #3 Sarah B.

Sarah B- This is the mother of his first son DeWayne Carter III born in 2008. No one had ever heard of this Cincinnati woman until the birth of their son. Apparently she was a Lil Wayne fan who had his name tattooed on her prior to even meeting him. She was following him on tour when she got pregnant. They shared an off and on relationship for a couple of years. I'm sure she would be more than willing to rekindle with Wayne now that he's out of jail. It's not like there's a whole lot going on Cincinnati, unless she wants to be a contestant on the "For the Love of T.Ocho Show".

Former Flavor of Love contestant Candace Cabrera

Candace Cabrera – Former "Flavor of Love" contestant known as 'Black' has recently been linked to Wayne (see www.BallerAlert.com). Maybe she will be the lucky lady to get that first post-jail penis visit. Rumor has it she was seeing Wayne prior to him getting locked up and while she was in a relationship with NFLer Vernon Davis (who knew Vernon had a girlfriend?). Anyway, she hasn't had a baby by him yet so she may be looking forward to getting her dose of the Carter seed.

Young Money's Shantel

Shantel from "Young Money" - She was seen all over the place with Wayne prior to him checking himself into prison. She is also a member of his 'Young Money' clique so she may have more access than the others. Everybody knows that studio time equals play time. She hasn't been blessed with 'the seed' yet but I'm sure that she is working hard to get it. Young Money might be cool, but Wayne's money has got to be better.

His official Welcome Home Blow Out (pun intended) will be going down (again, pun intended) at King of Diamonds strip club in Miami (again thanks http://www.balleralert.com/). Whoever the winner is, there is one thing I am sure of; within the next month Lil Wayne will be conceiving a hot new song and a new child. Maybe a child will be born within the next month since he's been locked up 8 months.  Stay tuned.

Tuesday = Trends

 As an avid shopper I’m always looking for the new looks, new trends and most of all deals. Here’s a few of my favorites from this week’s shopping trips:

The Christian Louboutin Rhinestone Studded Sneaker – This is a hot sneaker for the up and coming fashionista. This sneaker also features the Louboutin signature ‘red bottom’, which makes this fun sneaker a very serious purchase. The $2395 price tag will have the teens saving up their babysitting money for years to come. Available at Neiman Marcus stores.

The Channel Rain Boot, Red- This is not your ordinary rain boot. The water repellant boot will shine on even the cloudiest day. The flower that adorns this boot has a rhinestone embellishment in the center and the Chanel logo at the toe. The boot also comes in black and white. The price: $395. Available at Neiman Marcus stores.

The BCBG Boot in Harmony and Hadley – This is my favorite pick of the week. The Hadley ($425) is the ankle version and the Harmony ($495) is the calf version of the same boot. It is the cut out heel on this boot that I totally love, not only does it make walking and balance easier, it also gives the boot a modern yet feminine look. Neither style is available online; it is exclusively at BCBG stores.

 The Bambi Dress, Betsy Johnson- This hot seller is Betsy’s firth version of the same dress. The dress is so popular that each store only given only 4 of them. Named Bambi after the deer hidden in the print, this dress can be paired with just about any other color. I love how the dress hangs and moves on the body. The dress is worth the $298 price tag. Available at Betsy Johnson stores.

A Tartan Tale, MAC Cosmetics – I absolutely love the packaging for this promotion! The various Tartan set would make a great Christmas gift for the makeup lover in your family, or an awesome treat for yourself. Pricing varies. Available at MAC stores.

Guys I haven’t forgotten about you! I love identifying items that I’d like to see on a man.

The Robert Graham Shirt- This shirt reminds me of the fun patterns of the 1990’s. The tailored shirt would look great with a pair of jeans and a blazer for a well put together casual look. I am told this shirt looks best on an athletic build so it is a favorite among the athletes. The shirt shown is $268. Available at Neiman Marcus stores.

The Gucci Boot – This is the second season for this style. Gucci is responding to the popularity of the Timberland style work boot though I doubt anyone will be working in this boot. The cost is $695. The leather and water proof mesh boot has the green and red ribbon velcro strap which Gucci is known for. Available at Gucci stores.

D&G Felix the Cat Tee – Felix the Cat is back. D&G has made this cat famous again with this $180 tee. Available at Neiman Marcus stores.

Creed, Green Irish Tweed – My person favorite of the Creed line is the Virgin Island Water, but I also like the Green Irish Tweed fragrance. It is a very clean scent which in my opinion is always desirable on a man. The 1 fl oz. goes for $130. Available at Neiman Marcus stores.

Catch me every Tuesday for my favorite shopping finds!

Why the nanny can't be trusted…

Grandma says, “Never let another woman cook in your kitchen”. This is a metaphor for something much bigger.

As women are become even more career focused, we are finding that we need additional help around the house. We are hiring nannies to care for our children, cleaning ladies to pick up after the family, and having our meals prepared by personal chefs. Please consider this as a warning ladies: Any one of these women will sleep with your man. Female in-home service providers are dangerous and not to be trusted!  

Grandma would say, ". . .if a man's got another woman cooking and cleaning for him and taking care of his children, what does he need you for?"

While you are lying on the couch in your sweats eating Bon Bons, watching Maury; the nanny is bouncing around, full of energy and nurturing his children. And do you really think your cooking can compete with a cook who knows how to whip up gourmet creations? And then there's the cleaning lady who is always 'bent over' cleaning something…

And don't think they aren't eyeing your man. They see you living well and aren't opposed to getting what you've got.  You invited these women into your home. And you may be responsible for your own un-doing. Don’t let the ‘help’ do more for your man than you do.

Celebrity Offenders include:

• Actor Jude Law cheated on actress Sienna Miller with his children's nanny.
• Comedian Robin Williams left his wife for the nanny.
• Reality show star Jon Gosslin cheated on wife Kate with the nanny of his 8 children.
• Actor Brad Pitt has reportedly had an affair with Angelina Jolie's kid's nanny.
• Former NFLer Tiki Barber left his pregnant wife for the woman who baby sat for them.
• Bee Gee's singer Robin Gibb had a baby with his live-in housekeeper while married.

HOTNESS: The Big Fella Edition

Oooh I love me a big fella! Everyone who knows me, should know that I am a bit of a chubby chaser.

With that being said…HOTNESS: The Big Guy Edition. In no particular order:



Former Mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick



 Kwame Kilpatrick – The former mayor of Detroit has always been sexy to me! There is something about a big guy in a suit! Kwame’s perjury/text message scandal put an end to his political career, but his build is still intimidating and exudes power.

Pablo from Season One of the T.O. Show


 Pablo from Season 1 of the TO Show – There is no doubt this big fella would protect his lady. While I understand he has made a career change from personal security, he is still the guy I would want as my bodyguard.


The departed R&B Singer, Gerald LeVert



Gerald LeVert – When I hear his hit “Baby You Are” or “Wear You Out”, I imagine he is singing to me exclusively. It’s hard for me to believe that he is gone now, but his legacy will live on in all of the children who were created to his music. RIP G.L.!

Former CEO of Death Row Records, Marion "Suge" Knight

Suge Knight –This former CEO of Death Row Records is fine! If a fight breaks out, I know this man can handle himself while I go get the car (even though he’s been getting knocked out lately).

Actor & Comedian, Anthony Anderson

Anthony Anderson – As Det. Kevin Bernard on Law & Order it is his job to lock up criminals. I know one HiYelaGurl who wouldn’t mind being locked up by this full figured man. He’s also a comedian, and I love to laugh!
