Mission: Get Shannon!

8:54: In this week's episode of Making the Band, Drea and Dawn are on a mission to get back pretty, pretty Shannon! Keep checking back to Alas in Wonderland for my thoughts on everything.

9:02: I'm SO jealous of Drea's hair!!! It always looks fly...big and fly ; )

9:04: I hope the ladies get a hold of their group members!

9:05: "You know how we do it! Bad Boy, Bitches"--Diddy lol Loves it!

9:06:The pent house...it's the best!

9:07: Willie, you ain't slick! "He's there with his MOM." You're wife, fool!

9:15: Willie's son is cu-Ute! Don't know how to spell his name, so I'ma just say his son!

9:20: Oh, Shannon! Diddy, you're an ass for not paying these girls! Shame on you for cutting this episode together and not feeling any remorse for robbing them of their hard-earned money!

9:26: Willie's son is such a good boy. Not a lot of boys his age would've hesitated to hit Big Mike in the head! lol

9:27: Damn, Willie and his son need they own reality show! You feel me?

9:34: Aww, I thought we'd finally see Shannon : (

9:46: Black Latin Love are tipsy....haha

9:56: I'm still optimistic : )

Ne-Yo Breaks His Silence on Chrianna

Yes, I knew all along that Ne-Yo is THE key person to ask about the whole Chrianna situation. Why? 'Cause my music knowledge is just like that, lol! Ri Ri and Chris are basically like his little sis and bro. He's spent long hours with both artists in the studio, penning hit after hit after hit for them, nurturing their careers since the beginning. But while Rihanna's mentors Kanye and Jigga have every damn right to want to knock Chris the fuck out, Ne-Yo understandably stayed neutral:

"I wanted to talk to them before I made a comment. I spoke to Rihanna. She says she’s fine. She didn’t go into detail about what happened. I understand it’s a painful situation; I didn’t push."

Poor thing!

"I saw the picture. That just really — that hurt me to my heart, man. Again, I still don’t know what happened, ’cause I haven’t had the opportunity to talk to Chris yet. But to take it to that level really hurt my heart. All I can say is, I’m praying for both of them. They’re both in my prayers. I haven’t had a chance to talk to Chris yet. I just wanna sit down and talk to that dude and just explain if he doesn’t understand: ‘That’s not something that’s excusable, bruh. You have to get a little smarter about whatever it is going on in your relationship. You have to get a little smarter about how you handle certain situations.' "

No excuse, none!

Loved Seeing Latifah Singing I'll Be Seeing You at Last Night's Oscars

Queen Latifah showcased her lovely voice at last night's Oscars during a tribute performance to those in the biz that have recently passed on. She sang Billie Holiday's I'll Be Seeing You--one of my fave songs ever (and not just 'cause it's in one of my fave movies ever, The Notebook). Her vocals were perfect. Not overdone. I don't know about you, but I was so happy that the producers of the awards show had enough sense not to cast Beyonce in the number. Lord knows that would've been a hot screeching mess.

This is What Chris Brown Did to Rihanna...

TMZ got their hands on this photo of Rihanna right after the attack. Pretty much how I imagined it based on reports. I have no words...

Drea's Baaaaccck!

9:01: I can't wait to see my Drea! Catch my up-to-the-minute take on it all here!

9:04: "Jay Z, Diddy, 50 Cent level"...okay, Willie! lol

9:14: Aww, I'm starting to feel for Donnie : (

9:18: Personally, I just want Drea, Dawn and Shannon. Why bring two other girls you can't trust into this?

9:23: Day26 is on some Jodeci tip...but I like it.

9:25: Ahhhh!!! Drea's so cute : ) Dawn's gonna freak!

9:28: I will motherfucking accept y'all as a twosome!!!...I say, "Yes!"

9:37: I think Drea and Donnie look cute together...I love Drea's chubby cheeks and beautiful hair : )

9:38: Arg! I want me some breakfast food now!

9:44: Oooo...nice idea...Road trip to get back Shannon!

9:54: Carla text me: "Can we talk about how much I heart Aundrea?"

9:55: This is the ONE time I want Diddy to not let peeps out their contracts...

Beyonce Looked Extra Hot on Valentine's Day!

I'm sorry but Beyonce deserves a post all on her own. She is KILLING it in her white Dolce & Gabbana dress and snakeskin Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps. I mean, look at her! She's already beautiful as it is. Add to that her bangin' body. Plus, I'm loving the simple side part hair. Jay Z's a lucky man!

Jay Z Speaks on Ri Ri

Jay Z--pictured with his ridiculously hot wife (get 'em, B!)--cohosted his annual Two Kings NBA All-Star Dinner with Lebron James last night in Arizona. He had this to say about his protege, Rihanna:

“This is a real situation. You have to have compassion for others. Just imagine it being your sister or mom and then think about how we should talk about that."

Ooo!!! Someone is pissed! He continued, saying...

"I just think we should all support her. She’s going through a tough time. You have to realize she’s a young girl, as well. She’s very young."

Check out this pic (above) AND video (below) of Jigga and Ri Ri during happier times at last year's Grammys. Their brother-sister relationship was on full display. (Anyone who thinks otherwise is a damn fool!)
