The MTV Video Music Awards 2013: The Danity Kane Show

-

It's the VMA'S TONIGHT!

I'm irrationally excited and I can't explain why. There's so much buzz this year about who will and won't be there (*NSYNC), who may or may not be reuniting (Danity Kane!), that I cannot contain myself! I have never fangirled so hard in my life!*

Not to mention the list of performers for tonight's show. Lady Gaga will be opening the show with her new single Applause, and I can't WAIT to see how she'll translate the song's spectacular music video into a stage performance.

Katy Perry will also be performing her new single Roar and Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake will all be taking a turn on the Brooklyn stage. It is gonna be bananas!

I can't wait to see who takes the Moonmen for Video of the Year and Song of The Summer. I'm rooting for Bruno Mars' Locked Out Of Heaven and Daft Punk's Get Lucky respectively.



But let's be real. I'm completely and totally watching in case Danity Kane decides to make all my dreams come true and perform a new single. They are currently the main reason for my existence. I have been listening to their two (#1! platinum selling!) albums non-stop since the reunion announcement was made. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THEM! I don't even mind if they perform an old song (Damaged anyone?) Just give me something. I'm begging you Aubrey! Lol.

In any case, I'll be live-tweeting the show tonight @battymamzelle, so sign into the #VMAs tweetchat room and join me! (and the millions of other people who will be watching...) See you tonight!

Will you be watching the show tonight? Who are you most excited to see take the stage? Who gets your vote for this years's moonmen? Let me know in the comments below!

#Scandal: I Know That Olivia Pope Isn't Perfect; It's Part Of The Reason I Love Her

It irks me that people (usually black men) keep saying that black women shouldn't love Olivia Pope because she is flawed. "Flawed" in this case usually equals "having an affair with a white guy". They don't realize it, but the concentrated hate that they hold for her is steeped in a very specific kind of racialized misogyny . Walter White was no hero, but somehow we managed to love him. Dexter was a serial killer  and yet, we lauded him too. What do they have in common? You guessed it. Men. White  men. Who also happened to be anti-hero characters whose virtues were valued alongside their flaws. But I'm going to set that aside for now. I'm a black woman and I LOVE Scandal. I am not blind to Olivia's flaws. I love her  because she has flaws.  Black women are so severely underrepresented in media that Kerry Washington's role has garnered a considerable amount of attention simply because she is a black woman in a lead role of a network televisi

Cover Wars: Nicki Minaj by Howard Huang for Paper Magazine

via Paper Mag Nicki Minaj by Howard Huang Personally, I wish Nicki would do more looks like this. She's deep into her "costume" phase right now, and that's fine, but I think she's forgotten (and consequently so has everyone else) how GORGEOUS she looks when she goes glam. She has all the makings of a style icon in the traditional sense, but she seems to prefer the Gaga route. That's perfectly okay of course, but I'd love to see her do more easy beauty shoots like this one. She's a beautiful woman.
