Hey everyone,

Finally, finally, finally…I have managed to get myself together and ‘blog’ again!!!

What’s good anyways?
Hope all is bless……me, still bless but maaaaaaaaaaaaash!
Sheesh, the last 2 weeks have really taken it outta me, but glad to say, I have almost caught up with me kip!!!

Anyway, what is going on in the land I love, Celebville?

Well, the story that has been absolutely dominating the headlines for the last few, has still NOT died down.

The whole Rihanna and Chris Brown fracas has taken on a life of its own.
As we all know, on Feb 8th, the morning of the Grammy awards, there was an altercation between couple Chris and Rihanna which resulted in Rihanna coming off worse!

There has been a lot of speculation surrounding what was the cause of the fight and in some cases people were questioning whether the girl in question was indeed Rihanna.
Well, it seems the latter has been answered.
TMZ.com managed to obtain a photo of Rihanna highlighting all her injuries.
Apparently the photo is unauthorised and as a result, the LAPD have launched an investigation to try to ascertain who ‘leaked’ the photo.
The investigation is definitely a serious one as the police department has a duty to maintain the confidentiality of any victim of domestic abuse.
Not good huh?
I just don’t know what to say about this story anymore….I think on just about every show I do, I refer to this case and how sad it is…it is sad isn’t it?
Let’s hope Rihanna gets better soon and Chris gets the help he seems to need!

No…No…No… Notorious…la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The film…Notorious, opened over here in the UK Friday 13th Feb and is still hot on everyone’s lips.
Have you seen it? What did you think?
Well, although there have been mixed reviews on it, I think the idea is a fantastic one.
As a fan of the late, great B.I.G, I think to chronicle his life in a movie was a natural and necessary next step to make.
Nearly 12 years after the untimely death of Biggie, the movie Notorious looks at the transition of a teenage drug dealer on the streets of Brooklyn to one of the hottest and inspirational rap stars of his generation.
The making of the movie was authorised by Biggies mom, Voletta Wallace (who is played by Angela Bassett) who felt it was necessary for the world to see not only the positive side of her son but also the negatives – she wanted it to be a reality check!
His real life son, Christopher Wallace Jnr, plays Biggie as a young un in the film whilst his adult form was brought to life by fellow Brooklyn native, Jamal Woolard.
I am not gonna go to much more into the line up and the story line but would advise you check it out – make your own mind up….

Away from the actual film itself, there has been a lot of ‘he said, she said’ surrounding character portrayals and story lines i.e.… Lil Kim!
She ain’t impressed…not in the slightest.
Kim believes she was portrayed in a bad way.
She was quoted to have said to Hip Hop Weekly: "I've had enough and I'm about to expose them both. ... I've been quiet for a long time."
Ooooer…. Apparently Voletta has basically told Kim to get a grip but by the same token feels if what she is saying about her relationship with B.I.G is true… then she would be open to discuss this with Kim.
Either way, it’s a bit of a situation isn’t init? Not the best – I dunno what to think anymore….!


Solange Knowles has been in the press recently, apparently she was hospitalized after taking too much medication to treat a cold.

Apparently Solange, ‘twittered’ regularly during her ordeal and in one particular update she claimed she doesn’t know what happened but is as a result, is hooked up to an IV drip!

Anyways, seems like it wasn’t majorly serious and Solange is ok now – we hope!

After a massive scare, Tameka Foster (wife of Usher), has been released from a hospital in Brazil.
It was reported that Tameka suffered a cardiac arrest after undergoing plastic surgery.
This came about whilst she was actually being anaesthetized before planned surgery.
She was revived instantly with the help of a heart massage and then she was placed in an induced coma before being taken into intensive care.
The president of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery has come forward and said liposuction should only be performed on someone after at least 6 to 8 months of being pregnant.
In other words, he feels Tameka undergoing surgery a mere 4 months after giving birth to her youngest son, was just too soon as the body has not had time to repair itself.
Dam….its deep – plastic surgery???
Society has a lot to answer for eh?
Lets hope Tameka is fine and well and truly on the mend.

MC Hammer is back….well sort of.

He has opted to take part in a reality TV series where cameras will follow him, his wife and their 5 kids.
The show is tipped to be called ‘Hammertime’.
Ooooo the irony and the series is scheduled to run 11 half hour episodes.
FYI, this isn’t the first time the ‘Hammer’ has been offered a reality show.
Let’s just hope, the decision to run with it this time, is a good one….

A bit of beef now….and not the edible kind…
Joe Budden and rapper Saigon, seemed to have reignited their beef.
Apparently it started when Saigon took exception to the use of his name in one of Joe’s lyrics a while ago.
It seemed as though both parties got over it and moved on.
Well….. it seemed like that…..until a video appeared featuring Saigon threatening to buss up Joe Budden!!!!
Beef reignited!
Why boys why?????
I just don’t get it…..there are so much more things to worry about right????

Kanye West wants to get his bits apparently.
Kanye has decided he wants to follow in the footsteps of Big Daddy Kane (he posed for Playgirl back in 1999).
He was quoted to have said in Vibe magazine: ‘I definitely feel like in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked’!
Oh la la….Kanye naked…..my curiosity definitely gets the better of me fnar fnar.

Just picture for a moment ladies….

Anyways, on that note and with that image in mind, I am gonna sign off for now but promise I will back blogging by end of the week….oooo so much is happening I just aint got the energy right now! LOL

Anyhoo my luvvies…
Keep well, stay blessed and overall, stay luverly!
Peace & Love,

Snow and sleet, snow and rain, snow and sunshine…this week there has a bit of snow with just about every other type of weather possible – Ooooooo the wonderful joys of life in the UK lol


Anyhoooooooo, how art thou?


Besides the weather, I am all good – in fact, I am even more chuffed that it’s the end of the week than usual…why?

Well, this week was the first week I did a radio show EVERY single day!
That’s right peeps, I am officially on the airwaves 5 days a week (Mon-Fri)

It goes a bit like this, Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 6am (yup crazy stupid hour I know) I am doing my thing on the ‘Get out of Bedlam with Sherryl Blu’ show.

It’s an hour designed to wake you up –literally.

Bangin’ choons, travel, weather, news and of course, that all important celebrity gossip.
It’s the p
erfect way to start the day (so I have already been told) lol

Tuesday, as normal, my weekly chat show Subject:Blu takes place from 9pm and on a Thursday evening between 7-9pm, its strictly music on the Thursday Shakedown!

The radio shows, plus my regular 9-5…have definitely taken a little bit of a toll on me this week but, FEAR NOT for I shall eventually get into the swing of things and it will be like a walk in the park! (Well not quite, but almost tee hee)


OK so, Celeb goss is what we are dealing with right now, so let’s get to it….


Well as you probably already know, there has been a bit of a ‘who ha’ surrounding a certain Etta James and a certain Beyonce Knowles.

Now, for those that don’t know, an audio tape has been circulating with a sound clip of Etta having a pop at Beyonce for singing ‘her’ song at the first Inaugural ball.

I had the pleasure (snik snik) of listening to the clip and let’s just say, Etta kinda tore into Bey…she said she should whoop her ass as well as stating that she doesn’t even like Beyonce!

Wow – harsh I hear you say (well some of you)…..yes – this is true but now, Etta has gone directly to mainstream media with a statement claiming, what was heard on the audio was merely said in jest!!!!

In jest????

Didn’t blimmin’ sound like it to me, I tell ya.

She went on to say to California’s Press Enterprise, ‘I’m a comedian besides being a singer’!

All I can say to that is…O RLY!!! LOL

Not only did she slate Beyonce who actually thinks highly of Etta, she went on to have a little dig at President Obama too…

Check out the audio below….

As usual, the idea of a celebrity living in a happy marriage doesn’t seem to last long.

The latest ‘victim’ is Usher.

Rumour has it, Usher ordered his wife (Tameka Foster) to stay at home with their two children whilst he swanned off to record an album!

Apparently Tameka was not impressed that she was not allowed to tag along and so, prompted rumours they are on the verge of a split!

Hmmmmm…..watch this space….!


US Weekly have been reporting that Tisha Campbell-Martin and her hubby Duane Marti

n are expecting their second child together.

Best friend Tichina Arnold has told US Weekly Tisha is hoping to have a girl (first child Xen is a boy) and has in fact been wanting a baby girl for a few years now.

Aaaaaaaaaaw sweet.


Speaking of babies, Erykah Badu and partner Jay Electronica, are celebrating the birth of their new baby daughter.

The couple announced via social network Twitter, that their new daughter, Mars Merkaba arrived on 1st Feb at around 1.30pm.

Hear the champion part….Erykah apparently had Mars at home with no pain relief.

She was quoted to have said, ‘can't believe it's over. Home birth, no painkillers, about five hours, she was a little past due date, but I didn't mind waiting’.

Wow….that deserves Erykah a medal in my opinion!

Congratulations on the fantastic addition to the family.


Still keeping on the subject of babies, Bobby Brown and girlfriend Alicia Etheridge are expecting their first baby together.

Initially (if my brain serves me correctly), when there was talk about these two being an item…it was nothing but denial now babies?

Wow wa wee wah LOL

Anyways, Alicia is thought to be about 4 months pregnant and both Alicia and Bobby are over the moon.

Let’s hope, this new baby gives ole Bobby the boot up the gluteus he so desperately needs…. Dam I miss the ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ days – Bobby was cooking with some serious gas right? LOL

It seems as though 50 cent has got something to smile about, what with a New York judge tossing a $50 million lawsuit from ex girlfriend out the window.


The ex (ShaniquaTompkins), tried to sue 50 after she claimed he tried to evict her and their (her and fiddys) son out of their home in Long Island and claimed that he promised her he would take care of her for life!

Although her camp claim she is considering an appeal against the decision, Fiddy has said he is glad justice has prevailed and wants to move on with his life!

Really, I don’t know what to say about this situation.

Its easy to kind of think, come on lady, get on with your life but then I suppose, how would one feel if their partner (at the time) made it big, promised you the world then went back on that because they felt like it????? You wouldn’t feel great – I know I wouldn’t, I mean OK maybe there is more to the story but….dang – I kinda feel for the girl.


Over to Jamdown now…

Bounty Killer has been a naughty boy!

According to the Associated Press he has been caught speeding back home in Jamaica and actually ran 7 red lights!

Apparently, police have charged him for refusing to be breathalyzed, ignoring red lights and speeding!

This is not his first run in with the law.

Bounty was charged with using profanity just last year at the Reggae Sunfest and previous to that he was ‘held up’ for having a bit of a ‘run in’ with another performer.

Bounty is due to stand trial on 12th May so watch this space!
Smack wrists Bounty….smack wrist!


Raphael Saadiq has been personally touted by Sir Elton John to appear as the featured performer at his 17th annual AIDS foundation Academy Awards viewing party in Hollywood

Elton John has been quoted to have said he is thrilled that Raphael will perform and can’t wait to see him sing live!

FYI..this is shaping up to be a serious event… throughout the evening, guests can be expected to indulge in cocktails and a 5 course meal – nooooice!

5 courses? Where’s my invite??? (probably lost in the post hmmmmmm)!


Moving back to the UK shores…what a week it’s been in terms of news.

First we had ole Carol Thatcher getting the boot as a result of her calling a Tennis player a Golliwog and then, the very next day, it was revealed, Golliwogs were in fact being sold from a shop on Sandringham Estate (the Queens gaff)…. Man – what on earth is going on?


http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2211328.ece


Golliwogs yuh nuh – do you know how long I haven’t heard that term – I thought it was obsolete LOL

Personally, it doesn’t bother me but I can see how and why, some would be offended if they were referred to as one!


Another story that completely baffled me this week was, the story about the guy that met a chick, went back to her place, had sex with her (drunken sex apparently) and woke up with her name carved into him by knife – it was a makeshift tattoo!

Her name you know – carved into his skin!
And as if that wasn’t bad enough, on his other arm, she had slashed a variety of lines for what seemed to be no apparent reason.

So many thoughts spring into my head when I think about this story – thoughts which maybe shouldn’t be put in print so Ill move on….


Check out the story below….

And finally, before I run off, you have probably already clocked this clip that has been doing the rounds but believe me, if you haven’t….make sure you watch with an empty mouth!!!! LOL

Peeps, that’s it from me for now…
Remember to stay blessed and keep aiming high!


Check back regularly for more juicy goss!


Peace and love,
