This is for all you “big case G’s” who were “lower case G’s” back then. In honor of Freaknik…. In honor of Freakin “A” Month… and just because I wanna… I pulled up Montel Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It” ~ The unofficial/official theme song for Freaknik 95…or was it 96? Hell. All I can’t remember and all y’all was drunk anyway so does it really matter?? 😆
Happy Flashback Friday…. Enjoy!

The 1st Annual Fashion & Style Honors was held Tuesday night at Opera. Dwight Eubanks, the unofficial/official 6th housewife from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, hosted the event which was a whos-who of the Atlanta fashion industry. A few of my favs, Celebrity Photographer Derek Blanks and Celebrity Hairstylist Derek J were spotted in the crowd and from the photos it seemed to be a successful event. That is…until the streets started talking!
Jesus be a bottle of Jergen’s extra moist….

Reminds me that Prom season is in full effect…
More photos and first hand accounts of the event which is now being called the “Hot Mess” Awards below:
SouljaBoy Tellem shot the video for his highly addictive “Gucci Bandana” yesterday at Coan Park in East Atlanta. The park was filled to capacity with tons of fans, as well as a few video vixen hopefuls. It was certainly a celebration of all things ‘Gucci’ as everyone came through sporting their fresh new gear regardless of it’s authenticity! <~ Gotta love the “A”!
SouljaBoy and Gucci Mane cruised around in a Red Lamborghini while barbeque was grilled for the crowd. It was a beautiful day and an Atlanta celebration as Shawty Lo, Mr. Collipark, DJ Drama, Slim (of 112), Jamal Woolard (aka The Fake Biggie) from Notorious, Rich Boi, Zone 4 DJ Bishop of Zone 4’s Hittmenn DJs and more all came out to show support. Even Lil Jon swung through for a suprise cameo at the end of the shoot!

T.I.’s Road to Redemption: The Reckoning aired last night and Tip sat down with MTV’s Sway for one final interview before he starts his sentence in May. Tip tells Sway that he’s over the questions about his weapons charges and arrest stating: “This is the last time…After this I’m done! Don’t ask me no more questions bout this OK? Finito!” OK…Tip! I think we get it. You don’t want to be asked anymore questions about your legal issues, right? Right.
Meanwhile, while Tip’s keeping quiet, reportedly his snitchin “A”zz bodyguard, 34 year old Corey Williams is NOT. Williams was intrumental in developing the weapons case in that he had monitored conversations with T.I. and wore a wire on the rapper during a face-to-face meeting. He also agreed to testify against his former employer as a “confidential witness” after the bust went down. After all that, Williams did not get off easily. He still received the exact same penalty as T.I. (366 days) even though their criminal records are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
Atlanta Housewife without a husband Kim Zolciak recently settled her monetary dispute with her publicist Jonathan Jaxson (pictured above). In case you forgot, here’s a summary: Jaxson filed a lawsuit against Kim, claiming that she owed him money and had breached their contract for his services. Jaxon also hijacked Kim’s blog posting an entry stating that she was basically a deadbeat.? Kim, in turn, filed suit against Jaxson claiming retaliation. Blah…Blah…Blah… Still confused? Click Here to read full story….
Anyway, the two have resolved their differences and Jaxson even made one more post to her website before taking the site offline March 30th:
My former client Kim Zolciak and I have settled our differences which includes voluntarily dismissing all pending legal claims against one another. Our past grievances were due to a misunderstanding that regrettably got blown out of proportion. Going forward, I wish Ms. Zolciak the very best with respect to her acting and overall?entertainment endeavors.? (Source)
I hate to say it but I know most people think it anyway…so eff it! I’m just gonna say it…Kim Zolciak is the token white chick on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta and doesn’t even really hang out with the rest of the crew! While the other chicks at least pretend to hang out with each other, Kim seems to be always photographed alone or with her BFF Jodi who follows her dayum near everywhere. They were even captured recently by TMZ on their way back to Atlanta from…?? wherever. Since Sheree?and NeNe seemed to have resolved their beef, it’ll be interesting to see where Kim actually fits in this season.
Peep the video below as well as more recent photos of Kim out partying it up with Jody & the crew under the cut:
Monica‘s new BET reality show, “Still Standing” is underway and she recently sent over a few promo shots. She’s also live on the radio airwaves all this week filling in for V-103’s Ryan Cameron (3pm-6pm) so be sure to check her out. I caught a few minutes yesterday and Mo was killin’ em! I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us today.
