GIULIANA AND BILL ARE EXPECTING THEIR FIRST BABY!!!

So when I seriously heard this news today, I was beyond ecstatic. First off, I look up to Giuliana as a role model AS the type of woman I want to be career wise from what I see through various media outlets. She's a very strong, independent woman who can not only give great interviews, but intimately connects with every single person she talks to.

I was truly inspired by Giuliana when I saw her episode of E!'s True Hollywood Story. Not only did it show her growth and hard work to get to where she's at in her career, but the struggles she's faced in regards to health and having a family of her own. I kind of followed the story of Giuliana and her husband Bill Rancic when I used to have the Style network, but hearing more about it in depth through her THS, I was definitely rooting for them. Guiliana has definitely been through a lot lately in regards to her health, which included being diagnosed with breast cancer last year and undergoing a successful double mastectomy.

Today, both Guiliana and Bill confirmed that they are expecting their first child late summer via a gestational surrogate, genetically Rancic's child. "We are so thrilled that our prayers have been answered. We are absolutely ecstatic to be sharing this with everyone who has been following our journey. We received an incredible amount of love and prayers from viewers around the world and we want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of them for their love."

The couple was on the Today show earlier in an interview with Ann Curry. Though they already know the sex of the child, they are seeing how long they can keep it a secret for. What’s great about Bill and Giuliana is that they are true advocates for their struggles and want to spread the word as well as provide support to those undergoing breast cancer and infertility. Despite all the hardships they have had to endure, both have remained positive which is not only inspiring, but heartfelt. Congratulations to the beautiful couple!

CHESTER FRENCH'S BLACK GIRLS

So a few days ago, Chester French came out with his new single "Black Girls" which of course raised a few eyebrows. I don't think it's the fact that the actual song is referencing his taste in black girls, but once I saw the video, I can see why it's a bit on the controversial side. See for yourself!

Video Powered by ClipCartel.com

Just in case you were too distracted to listen to the words, here are the lyrics:

Black Girls

This ain't no fetish, ain't objectifying no one
I reject your deconstruction of my taste
But ignoramus always look in my direction
They're so frustrated I don't keep it in the race
Like they've never seen this before
Like it's 1954
But the whole world's turning brown and who cares

[Hook]
I've got a thing for black girls
La, la la la la, la la, la la la la la
Yeah, my mom says
I've got a thing for black girls
La, la la la la, la la, la la la la la
You know I got some love for black girls
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well I have tried to taste the rainbow in my life
I've sampled many different flavors I enjoy
It's not to say I wouldn't settle down with Sally
Dilly dally with her heart like it's my toy
I've been to England a few times
And it's common over there
Plus the whole world's turning brown and who cares

[Hook x2]
(I'm ? so what)
(And I need to know, where's all the love for black girls)
(No the girl don't need no tan)
(I keep on ballin' hard for black girls)


I mean from Chester French's previous songs, I could tell he had some type of flavor. I give him props for admitting his love to black girls, especially for being a white boy. All I can ask now is, what about some love for the mixed chicks? Especially a Mexican-Filipina aka MEXIPINAS?!

TUPAC COMES BACK TO LIFE AT COACHELLA

How can anyone avoid all the Coachella hype leading up to the first weekend that just happened? It didn't help that on every social media channel are constant updates to every second of Coachella: the performers, the fashion, the drugged out times with friends...

Every year, Coachella's goal is to out-do the previous year. I can recall last year when Kanye West performed, and asides from the specific artists I would've loved to see: The Black Keys, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, David Guetta, SBTRKT, Childish Gambino, Dr. Dre & Snoop, Calvin Harris, and Santigold, one performance will have people talking for the rest of their lives.

But one performance in particular stole the show, and the entire Coachella weekend. Tupac, yes Tupac, made an appearance at Coachella. How you ask? By a hologram, that looked eerily real. This hologram that was 4 months in the making looked, moved, rapped, and danced like Tupac making others wonder if this was an actual hoax. Seeing the performance gave me serious chills, but even more creepy is when he shouted out "Coachella"! His set consisted of "2 of Americaz Most Wanted" and "Gangsta Party" Look at it here:



With all the hype and stories that surrounded the first weekend, what surprises will the second weekend bring? Do you think they will be another Tupac performance? I personally don't think so, maybe another type of hologram, like Biggie or something. I don't know how I'd feel if there was the same exact set for the Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg performance, it won't be as surprising. Go "Big"! (Get it?)

Speaking of holograms, check out the cool video below which explains how a person can come to life via this extraordinary technology.

For now, those that didn't and won't go to Coachella this year, such as myself, will try and "re-live" what could've been through the media and all our friends' pics uploaded online. I'm pretty anxious though to "hear" about the differences between weekends, and in the same way ready for it to be over with! ;)

BRAD & ANGELINA ON THEIR WAY TO OFFICIALLY BECOMING JOLIE-PITT!

Well look what we have here...on such a "superstitious" day like this known as Friday the 13th, there is some good news in the Hollywood world. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are officially engaged after being together for 7 years and having 6 children. Of course we know it's not 6 biological children, only half...

After meeting on the set of Mrs. and Mrs. Smith back in 2005, while Pitt was a married man (yes we all know this story and have this weird hatred on Jolie), the two haven't split since. Though both were committed to each other and their children, it was their kids who pushed the idea of getting married since marriage seems like a big deal in all the movies. Earlier this year, Pitt told CBS that marriage was becoming a serious matter to their kids, "It means something to them. We will (get married) someday, we will. It's a great idea. 'Get mommy a ring.' 'Okay, I will, I will.' "

And finally when he put a ring on it, she said yes. And it wasn't just any ring, it was carefully constructed and planned for in a year's time. This custom diamond engagement ring that Brad helped with Beverly Hills jeweler Robert Procop who has worked with Jolie over time.

"Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realized over a yearlong collaboration with Robert. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect, so Robert was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suite Angelina's hand. Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. The side diamonds are speciality cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality", Procop explains in a statement.

Though the couple is now officially engaged, there is no planned wedding date as of yet. We'll just have to wait and see if the couple will actually go through this for their kids' sake. Now they can be on their way to being officially committed to one another through the sanctity of marriage...we hope. Anyways, I'm happy to see them make their love for another more official. Even though women play they "don't care" on getting married, I feel deep down inside they do. Cheers!

WHO'S THE HOTTER FRANCO BROTHER? JAMES OR DAVE?

So when I watched 21 Jumpstreet the other week with my dad, one of the characters in the movie I felt had a strong resemblance to James Franco. I swear, I even brought it up to my dad saying quote "that guy has that James Franco type swag", but my dad thought I was crazy.

But boy was I right! Not only does that guy have a resemblance to James Franco, but he is in fact his younger brother Dave Franco! I TOLD YOU SO...DAD! Now that that is settled, the new debate is deciding which Franco brother is hotter.

For awhile now, I've had the biggest crush on James Franco. It was that bad boy aura I got every time I saw him...onscreen. Then that beautiful big smile of his that would make his eyes all chinky. Just something about him makes me stare and pay attention to everything he's doing. He has that perfect combo of an intelligent bad boy. It doesn't hurt that he's a good actor too and is super big time, meaning I get to see him everywhere...onscreen.

Dave Franco is also very attractive, though I felt weird at first because I thought he was younger than me...but that's not the case! He is in fact older than me, which makes me really interested in him now. I mean he is older than me, yet not as old as his brother James so it can totally work out. The one thing that I'm not too fond of is that he seems a bit on the short side, especially compared to James Franco. But as long as he's a decent height and taller than me in heels, that should suffice.

Now I'm not one to pick favorites amongst two very attractive, intellectual human beings that just happen to be brothers. I wish I can have both, or one for that matter...MAKE ME A PART OF THAT FRANCO CLAN! Whom do you prefer?

21 Jump Street Brings It!

About a week ago (I know I'm late again...), I saw 21 Jumpstreet with my dad. Though the choices for that weekend were between this movie and Casa de mi Padre, I'd been hearing great things about this movie, so I decided to go with this one.

Going into the movie, I seriously wasn't expecting much. Though I love the movies, the act of actually going to watch a movie at a theatre is becoming ridiculously expensive. I mean, I can seriously wait to watch the movie on Redbox for...ONE DOLLAR. Anyways, we caught the early showing ($6 woot woot), to avoid paying the entertainment inflation price.

I mean, of course this movie had to be somewhat pleasing to the eye with Channing Tatum in it. He is hot, I don't care what you think. Basically the movie is about how two guys who were not friends and polar opposites in high school, end up becoming friends while at the same police academy, helping each other in what the other lacks. Channing Tatum plays Jenko is the athletic type, and Jonah Hill play Schmidt has the brains; if you combine both, they are LETHAL...until they get their first job assignment and fail while being security officers at the park.

This brings them to 21 Jumpstreet (Korean Jesus inside joke), where their assignment is to go undercover as high school students. Though both were supposed to get another opportunity on where they shined in high school (Jenko=athlete, Schmidt=nerd), they end up switching their names and had to excel in completely different territories. Jenko was now enrolled in all these AP classes, and Schmidt was enrolled in athletic activities and drama. The fact that their roles ended up switching their "strengths" was GENIUS! This definitely made the movie more funny than I ever expected.

Their mission was to find the dealer and creator of this drug that was going around amongst the high school students. This takes the audience into just an uproar of laughter, where the culprit remains mysterious throughout the entire movie. I'm so glad I decided to see this movie, I was laughing non-stop, and it was such a great surprise in a good way. So if you're looking for a great movie, with great laughter, Channing Tatum's hot self, and a cameo from 21 Jump Street original member Johnny Depp, you definitely need to see this!

KANYE & KIM K ARE OFFICIALLY DATING

So news broke out today (April 5) that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are officially dating now! Am I surprised? Nope! I mean both are always seen hanging out, Kanye has even made appearances on a few episodes of Kourtney and Kim Take New York. Kanye's ex Amber Rose even accused Kim of being a "homewrecker" while she was still dating Kanye, saying they hooked up during their relationship.

Despite their friendship that has spanned for some good time now, they have been caught going on a few dates: watching the Hunger Games, hitting up a fancy restaurant, even Kim leaving Kanye's place the next morning with clothes she wore to the movies the night before.

A source says, "They have been close friends for years and decided to give it a try [with dating]. The pair are keeping things 'light' for now, but 'they're seeing where it goes'". With Kanye's new song out called Theraflu, he publicizes his love for Kim: "I admit I fell in love with Kim ... 'Round the same time she fell in love with him ... That's cool, babygirl, do your thing ... Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team." If you don't get the last part of the line, basically Kris Humphries plays on the Nets, in which Jay-Z is part owner of.

So let me reiterate...this is really no surprise to anyone. If you are surprised, then shame on you. Kanye is cocky and Kim can't just stay single for long. At least both Kanye and Kim will fit into each other's extravagant lifestyles, which Kris Humphries wasn't into. I'd say these two are great complements for each other.

LA in a Day Event - 1010 Wilshire

On Thursday, March 29th, I had the opportunity to cover a Spring Fashion Show and Cocktail Party event called "LA in a Day" presented by The Los Angeles Urban League Young Professionals. The posh event was held at 1010 Wilshire right in the heart of DTLA, the views were just spectacular.

If you don't know, I help cover events alongside CEOTV, where we primarily help fellow entrepreneurs promote their business. Nonetheless it was great being front and center for the entire event. So many beautiful people looking fly as always, made me wish that I was more dressed for the occasion, but it was probably a good thing since it was freezing that night! I mean, when you're on the rooftop at night, what else is to be expected?

Overall, it was a great event! I had the pleasure of interviewing a good number of people, even Ralph Diesel, one of the co-founders of Royal Dynamite. Too bad Pharrell Williams couldn't be there, but his new line of liqueor called Qreme was one of the sponsors. I had both the Strawberry and Peach Qreme, I mean I wish I had more, especially since they were complimentary plus delicious.
