Are you a hater???

I have been watching H8er1 a TV show about ordinary people who hate certain celebrities. The show is hosted and presented by the famous Latino Mario Lopez where he talks to the hated celebrities and works with them to get a chance to convince their haters to change their minds about them. First the haters are told that they are auditioning for a show or are part of an interview, usually the star will be mentioned during a game, dating show or focus group interview, sometime other things will be set up like getting the hater to a spa for a message or getting them to eat at a certain restaurant and everybody participating is an actress or actor except the hater who is clueless.

When the hater's celebrity is mentioned the hater is given the opportunity to express his or her views about the celebrity they hate which are usually negative while the hated celebrity is watching and hearing everything that the hater is saying about them and eventually appears before the haters who at that time is shocked and chokes on their words. The hated celebrity and the hater spend a whole day and night together to give the hated celebrity the chance to change their minds about them.

I think the show is a great platform for celebrities to explain the negative perceptions made about them and to change a lot of other peoples' minds about them so as to bring about an understanding as to who they really are and where they come from and why they do certain things that will cause people to judge them. However I don't think it's any one's place to judge a person you do not really know or understand. Neither is it fair to hate a person based on what you see and hear in the media. Imagine if it was you and you were the celebrity and was hated by people who don't even know you, or better yet imagine not being a celebrity at all and you got caught doing something scandalous on camera for the world to see how will you explain yourself then? All I know is that in this world we are all human who are one way or another bound to make mistakes and we hopefully learn from them and there are probably those who will remind you what you did last summer no matter how long ago it was or how much you have grown since then. It's one thing to be judged by those who know you than those who don't yet nobody has a right or should be in any place to judge
anyone.

So the next time you want to hate a celebrity based on what you hear and see in the media as in their music, their lifestyles, and the way the became famous without knowing and understanding where they come from then you are mistaken.

So whats going on with Rihana

So word has been that Rihanna has been partying non stop drinking and smoking almost everyday to the point where Jayzee wanted to take her to rehab after her bad situation with Chris but with all that in the past and forgotten and Chris being forgiven and we dare not remind him what he has done in all fairness let us not forget that even though Rihanna may be out it as some say not me, I think we should look at what she has been through before judging her.

First there was the case of her taking Chris back and then management telling her that she would be setting a bad example to her fans and what not and a lot of people were disappointed by that. But I must it's very easy to critisize a person who has been in her situation if you have not been there yourself so chances of understanding why she would do such a thing are very unlikely.

We all break down from time to time especially when love hurts and there is a time where we find our breaking point some longer than others, sometimes we may just be having a good time and with regards to Rihanna it may have been both.

As for the fashion police critisizing Rihanna for what she wore when she got an interview with Oprah I think she dressed that way out of respect and humbleness for Oprah but I guess they were just doing their job. Rihanna and Chris however were forever being spotted on music tours and music video awards hugging and kissing and Chris appearently also performed with Rihanna for her birthday on one of her tours in France. And that just says between the two of them all is forgiven but not forgotten as word is Chris recently got a tatoo that broke Rihanna's reminding her of the tragic moments that happend in their relationship in 2009, the tatoo is a picture of a bruised up woman which obviously gets us thinking it's Rihanna of which he denies. When asked how she and Chris were doing or up to she mentioned that she will always love him and by that it means they may never be togather again although Chris Brown's mother apparenty tweeted Rihanna after the Oprah interview saying  please tell the truth which is suspicious. The two however like the way they began their relationship still claim to be friends probably because they fear what their friends, family and public would say.

Rihanna recently lost a contract deal or was rather dissmissed by Estair beauty cosmetics for her out of controll lifestyle and her accountant  cheated her out of her contract and apparently lost a lot of money. And then there was also a case of Drake and Chris Brown beef over Rihanna which was similar to the Tupac and Biggie beef over Faith Evans. The beef lead to a big fight at the night club between Chris and Drake and their antorouges which invloved puching, and bottles thrown all over the club news about the fight went on for weeks and everybody wanted Chris and Drake to fight in a boxing match to see who was better but Uncle Rush apperantly put an end to it and the guys made up.

But I have to say that no matter what is being said and how Rihanna is being represented in the public eye whether be it her relationship with Chris or her crazy lifestyle it is our place  to know but not our place to judge. Despite all her mishaps the highs and lows of this industry I admire her stregnth and humbleness I continue to witness everytime I see her and hear her music.

THE BRAXTON SISTERS

So dare I say anything about the Braxton family but I really can’t help it I just love them so much I even wrote about them, if only they knew. Coming from a very small family and seeing the Braxtons makes me wish I also had five older sisters like them but instead I am like each and every one of them and the my  sisters and I, that I never  had got a chance to grow up with are only getting to know each other now.

www.WEtv.com
Anyway, the Braxton sisters are the super star Toni Braxton, the middle child Towanda Braxton, the independent Traci Braxton, the party animal Trina Braxton and the dramatic, tacky Tamar Braxton.  I can relate to all of the Braxton sisters. I as the first daughter to my mother and father am the one who takes the dominating role and deals with all the pressures of the family. I also as the second born am the middle child and deal with all the middle child issues that we face, like Towanda I take the role of being responsible for everyone. Just like Trina I love to go out and have a good time. Traci and I are very similar as we both don't want to be confied by the way world wants us to be, and I am one of the different ones in my entire family probably more than Traci and last but not least I can be very dramatic like Tamar I just don’t like to be overlooked and not heard or be taken for granted and disrespected that all I’m saying, so don’t get it twisted. I have however been tweeting Toni on twitter but she never responds. Maybe it’s just a Toni Braxton wannabe, or maybe there are too many of us that she never sees my tweets, or because I don’t have a great following or because she just doesn’t like me which is all just heartbreaking but I guess you can’t make a person to like you when they don’t. I also complimented Trina on her song party or go home but she also didn’t respond. And so I guess I best leave them, let them go, forget about them and let them be. But nonetheless as hard as letting them go will be I will love them forever.

DINEO RANAKA: A MOGUL IN THE MAKING

You just have to love Dineo Ranaka after whaching her reality TV show Dineo's Diary in the last couple of months. The show is about her as a fashion designer, events co-ordinator, motivational speakers, musician, but more importantly she is a mother, sister and daughter. Dineo for me is clearly talented, business minded, dramatic at times, a figther, survivor and a winner which is all truelly insperational to me as a mogul in the making although more behind the scenes.

As I watch her show I have been nothing but inspired with the amount of stregnth she has as it seems that being as mogul in the making is not as easy as it seems. She is a woman doing it for herself and that I admire I have seen her being rejected and apparently critisized but no matter how many times they may knock her down she always gets back up.

With regards to her music I actually think she has what it takes, she has a great voice but she just needs the right people who belive in her and her music to make it work and make it big for her. With any kind of business anyone pursues it is important to work with people who share the same vision as you and believe in that vision and will help you pursue it with passion and energy and in the end it will be nothing but a great success. And in terms of Dineo it has been with her fashion, events and all her entrepreneural ventures. I as a hustling mogul to be have definately learnt a lot from strong thriving woman she has been a great insperation indeed. I have to say I am a bit scared of Dineo because she first of all has a loud voice and is very opinionated and smart in the way she fights on a verbal basis so you really just need to watch yourself and your words when taking her on but with that being said I wouldn't mind dealing with any confrontation in the way she doe it. Dineo I love you to bits, not because I;m scared of you or I'm sucking up, I really mean it from the bottom of my heart you put the est in best. XOXOXOXO

Bafana Bafana?!!!

It was on the 7th of September 2012 when 2010 world cup hosting nation got the opportunity to play against the 2014 soccer world cup hosts on their grounds. Yes I'm talking about South Africa having played a friendly match against one or the world's greatest power house of soccer nation Brazil. The South African soccer team seems to be growing stronger since their knew coach who is experimenting with some young experienced players who played the game very well throughout the game as they kept control of the ball especially defensively. We of course are very proud in the way that South Africa played even the Brazilian supporters were cheering our players on as it seems like there are some technical issues regarding the Brazilians. First of all the Brazilians did not bring on their samba on the field and were therefore denied many goal scoring opportunities. There is also a young player in the team who has been acting like a premadonna but has yet to deliver which has lead to the Brazilians calling him a "papirano" if I'm not mistaken, which means popcorn. However even though the Bafana Bafana played dominantly in the game, Brazil eventually scored in the eightieth minutes of the game resulting to 0 to 1 for Brazil which was heartbreaking for most of us who were hoping that South Africa would for once beat Brazil. So although we may be proud of the way they played we still expected a win which unfortunately was denied to us when our top strikers like Siphiwe Tshabalala and Bernard Parker failed to deliver and at the end of the day we can only give the credit for being in control and playing better compared to the Brazilians who most of them were young inexperienced players just by the way.

South Africa at last at least scored 2 goals against Mozambique which I have to say played very well throughout the game unlike SA who kept giving the ball away too many times so to say. Finally some scoring so say those who know where we coming from but we can't really celebrate beating a team like Mozambique no offence but even though they were really good. I would like to see SA beat the strong African soccer nations like Angola, Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt and Cameroon and Gabon which at least they have beaten before. I think the team is in good spirits thanks to their coach and they are growing stronger and I can actually see the fast techniques and skills they are using in the games which just need to be perfected with discipline. The boys have a lot do and I think they have a chance at being the African Champions in 2013 and will soon also be able to beat teams like Brazil, Argentina, Italy, France, Uruguay, Portugal, England, Germany, and Spain now that I and many soccer SA supporter would like to see and how great that will be.
