The first black Miss Israel Yityish Aynaw got the opportunity of a lifetime today! The Ethiopian born beauty had a one on one meeting with President of the United States - Barack Obama at a private ball in Israel! Wow!
She told reporters:
"I was influenced and inspired by Obama. Like him, I was also raised by my grandmother. Nothing was handed to me on a plate and like him I also had to work very hard and long to achieve things in my life. To this day he inspires me just as he inspires the rest of the world,"
Brilliant! So much history in the pic, both of them are firsts in their respective fields.

"When Emily Blunt handed me the award, I whispered, ‘I love you,’ in her ear.” Corinealdi laughed. “I was not expecting to win.”
Ha! I bet it must be an out of body experience to win such an accolade. I would be tongue tied too!

FLOTUS looks flawless! I just adore the bangs on her, she better glow! Rumors had been swirling for months that Barack's wife was the April cover star and now finally we have the photographic proof. Word on the street is the top secret photo shoot was held at The White House in January and shot by famed photographer Annie Liebovitz!
I can't wait to see all FAB pics! Thoughts on the First Lady's cover?

Blue Ivy's Mama is smoking hot!!! Look at those curves y'all? That is my gym motivation..that's all I needed to see.
Beyonce is the cover girl for SHAPE magazine's April 2013 issue. During her shoot Mrs. Carter revealed how she keeps her body in great shape.
Bey told the mag that she has dropped almost 57 lbs since giving birth last year and spoke about how she has incorporated dance into her workout routine. The only question I have for Beyonce at this point is - WHERE IS THE NEW MUSIC? Thanks for sharing your fitness secrets but the fans/stans have spoken we need new tunes!
Check out the fun behind scenes video below:
Congrats to Tamar Braxton and her husband Vince Herbert! They just confirmed via twitter that they are indeed pregnant!!! How much cute is Tamar and that lil baby bump? Cute.com!
Word on the street is that Tamar just signed to LA Reid's EPIC records and you can see her name on the label's artist page although there is no official pic! 2013 is shaping to be a great year in the Herbert house! The outspoken diva pretty much confirmed the upcoming baby and the deal by tweeting the label's mantra "BE EPIC"!
Awww I'm so happy for them! Congrats to them!

I have been in the US now for 21 years! Crazy right? Despite all the years of being in America, I give much props to my Mom for making sure that regardless of how long I was away from Zim - I NEVER lost the ability to speak my native tongue. But what happens when I have children? I really want to pass my language on to them but how do I do that with the constant American influence?
Thank God for the creators of Rooti Dolls. London based Nigerian couple Chris and Ada Ngoforo created a new range of dolls designed to help African children connect with their roots.
So how exactly did the pair do it? Well their dolls are programmed to speak several African languages. For instance, one of the dolls "Nubya" is originally from Cape-Town and born to parents who moved to London before her birth. The doll is programmed so speak Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho and Afrikaans. That is pretty darn cool!
My only wish is that at some point the creators of the dolls introduce a set with natural hair. Not all of us have straight hair right? Head over to CNN to read the rest of the story!
Thoughts?

Meet 21 year old beauty Yityish Aynaw! She just made history as the first ever Ethiopian born Miss Israel. WOW! This is huge!! Mavel Tov to her!!

In an interview last week she said her integration into Israeli society had been greatly eased because she had been “thrown into the deep end” in the state school system, “and I learned to swim,” rather than placed in separate Ethiopians-only classes.
I cant wait to cheer her on at Miss World this year! This is so dope!

The flick will be released stateside on March 29 check out the trailer below:

The wedding was held in a sacred tree hill overlooking Sir Richard's private game reserve Ulusaba, on the edge of Kruger National Park. Yep my friends, this is how rich folks tie the knot!
The wedding was attended by over 300 guests including Princess Beatrice and Eugenie and Isabella's younger sister who is Prince Harry's latest boo thang. Coincidentally the bride is said to have turned down Prince William while he was estranged to Kate Middleton. That's right girl, you wait for that 3.2 billion that Sam will stand to inherit as Richard Branson's heir..ha!
Thoughts on the wedding pics?
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore is truly the gift keeps on giving. All season long she has been killing me slowly with her outlandish behavior and relationship drama. While on the show she termed the coin "Gone With the Wind Fabulous" during a fight with a fellow housewife Porscha Stewart. Being the capitalizing reality star that she is, home-girl has released a new song a la Kim Zolciak.
True to form she lives up to the CRAZY antics in her new video "Gone with the Wind Fabulous" and busts out some Beyonce's inspired moves. Watch it and LOL!

If you miss a day you miss A LOT! Issh went haywire in the land of celebville, here's a recap of all the hot stories:
- Kelly Osbourne was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after passing out on the set of E!'s Fashion Police! She later took to twitter to confirm that she indeed had suffered a seizure and that doctors are trying to figure out exactly what happened. We wish her a speedy recovery!
- Teen heartthrob Justin Beiber also took a trip to the hospital today. The singer paused his London concert for 20 minutes to get a backstage treatment after complaining about feeling ill. Like the trooper he is, the Beibs later finished the show without missing a beat. After the concert, he tweeted a picture from a hospital bed with his representative stating that "he was just tired from a long week".
- To celebrate International Women's Day, The Guardian asked their readers to name women from across the continent who deserve recognition. See the whole list here
- American Idol is down to the final ten contestants. Meet them all here. Am I the only kinda underwhelmed with the talent this year?
Waaayment, how come no one told me that Ziggy was down with the swirl?! I'm not mad at him but I just didn't know, I can dig it! The father of six was spotted in Hollywood with his son Abraham while on a publicity tour for his new children's book "I Love You Too". Daddy and son look too adorable for words!
Ziggy is married to Orly Marley a former Vice President of the William Morris Agency and they have six children together! Sweet!

We Beyonce stans go HARD for our fearless leader. Keri Hilson can tell you this little factoid better than anybody on this planet. As expected of any normal person, Keri finally had a twitter meltdown this week from all the cruel messages she's received for the past 6 years. So what caused Bey's fans to relentlessly attack the singer?
Back in '08, Miss Kerry Baby allegedly threw shade on the “Turning Me On” remix when she called out Blue Ivy's Momma on her inability to write her own lyrics. Keri krooned:
Really? Are we wishing death on this woman?
Back in '08, Miss Kerry Baby allegedly threw shade on the “Turning Me On” remix when she called out Blue Ivy's Momma on her inability to write her own lyrics. Keri krooned:
“She can sing, but need to move it ‘to the (left)’ / She need to go have some babies / She needs to sit down, she fadin’… / Go ‘head and tell them folks how long I been writing your songs / I been puttin you on, just check the credits ho.”
Ouch! Y'all them is fighting words! The beef didn't stop there, years later Keri was being interviewed by a magazine and she flipped out when they asked her to hold up their latest issue – which at the time featured Jay-Z and Beyonce. See the video below:
What Keri did wrong was to under-estimate the power and wrath of the BeyHive. Was she out of order for singing about Bey? Probably! But was she entitled to her opinion? Absolutely. Let me make this clear before Beyonce's stans come for me, I am her BIGGEST fan but some of y'all take it too far.
Look at some of the messages Keri received in response to her tweets about the years of abuse she's endured.
But.... God hasn't erased you from life yet... So God HASN'T dealt w/ it.. RT : As for my mistakes, God has dealt with me.
Really? Are we wishing death on this woman?
Every person I have ever met who has interacted with Bey always waxs poetic about her politeness and ability to remain humble despite her phenomenal success. So what's with all the hate? I have made no secret of my intense dislike for Kim Kardashian. I may tweet about her kraziness but endlessly seeking her out and wishing her death is a whole other category of craziness. Just because twitter, Facebook and Instagram make celebrities more accessible to us, it doesn't mean we have the right to torture and bully them everyday.
I've already admitted my unconditional love for Beyonce and so I have hard time siding with Keri when she's talking s!ht about my King Bey. But y'all, when does this stop? Beyonce clearly ain't worried this foolywang, home girl is selling out concerts left and right. In the words of Sweet Brown "Aint nobody got time for that" Can we all take a cue from her (Keri included) and focus on something more positive instead of tearing each other down? BeyHive y'all gon' make me revoke my card from this fan club, cut it out dammit!

A boy!!!
Congrats are in order for singer turned designer Jessica Simpson! She accidentally let it slip tonight on Jimmy Kimmel that she's having a boy! How wonderful! Here's how it went down..
The 32 year old was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday night and the host greeted her saying "It's time to have this baby already" to which Jessica replied "I know, I cant believe I'm pregnant again!"
She then cracked a joke saying "The crazy thing is I never knew a weiner could make me nauseous". And there goes the baby announcement After realizing she let the sex of the baby slip she laughed "I can't believe I just did that, that was not planned"
The Fashion star judge didn't seem too worried about the slip up tweeting "Accidental announcement tonight on @jimmykimmel
Loves it! Jessica has a daughter with her fiance Eric, so the boy will be the perfect addition to her growing family.
Thoughts?

Who looks better with bangs.. Kim or Kourt? Or do you like both looks?
We've come to know Bonang as a lively TV presenter so when word broke that your girl B would be starring in Intersexions most people questioned her acting abilities! I will readily admit I was one of those that doubted whether she would bring it. Well not only did she bring it, home-girl killed it and excelled in her role. Way to shut the haters up! Don't believe me? Just watch the full episode and let me know what you think!

“We didn’t want to do a reality show if we couldn’t be real—if I couldn’t be myself. There is no ‘evil twin’ syndrome, though we do have evil moments…”—Tia Mowry Hardrict
Seems like the Mowry sisters have grown up right in front of our eyes right? From kids stars to wives to Mommies and now reality stars, the twins are showing that a successful transition into adulthood in Hollyweird is totally possible. Tia and Tamera are on the April issue of Essence Magazine looking "gone with the wind fabulous" in their bright and bold looks. I really like this cover a lot!
How cute are their babies? Ahhh too adorable! Will you be picking up this issue?
