The Next India Arie.... Priscilla Renea

Super late at night youtube surfing, and I discover this little philly Priscilla Renea. Her voice is so fabulous. This chick is talented.... Newly signed artist to Capitol Records, was disovered through an MTV spotlight, and is just awesome! Check out the acoustic version of her original song "Dollhouse" below...

I swear... if she sticks to acoustic, she may be the next India Arie. There's a rocker style version of this song on youtube, the official video features Cal Newman, feel free to check it out.... she's dope.

"I'm excited about my mixtape. I re-did Trey Songz 'Invented Sex' and many many more popular r&b songs... The mixtape will have 32 remixed songs!! ..... My new music video from The Graffiti album will be "pass out" featuring Eva Simons, also working on shooting another video "Sing Like Me" from The Graffiti album as well ..... also doing songs for the future with Usher, Omarion, Souljaboy, Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Tyga, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, etc...."
He also hinted at possibly working with Willie from Day26, Lady Gaga, and Keyshia Cole... First and foremost I'm excited for the mixtape, secondly, Eva Simons is banging, and thirdly Chris Breezy normally comes with it when he on his music grind.... Are you ready for a Chris Breezy kinda V Day?

***update*** Ms_Cross commented that the twitter account [@Mechanical_CB], may be a fake account. I hope its not. That'd be messed up if someone was pretending to be someone else.... Either way, he's talked about doing all these collabos before, so the 'tape and such still holds truth.

Superwoman.

A while ago, TAJ asked me what super hero I identify myself with. It took a second but I realized I identify with super woman. Superwoman is the female version of superman. And just like superman, she was born great. Her alias is only needed so that she can blend in with the rest of the world. Lately, I've been feeling pretty superwoman-ish. I'm getting everything and anything that I need and want to get done, done. And even though sometimes I feel as though there aren't enough hours in the day, I remove my alias, use my super powers and get it done... #themesongoftheday

Pink Goes In On Beyonce

I love Pink! Especially late 90's-early 2000's Pink. So, a Miss Dimplez reader hit me up asking me if I knew why Pink was beefing with Beyonce. At first I had no idea what they were talking about, but after watching this video it made a lot more sense. LMBO... watch.

Pink was in London, perfroming her song "Stupid Girl" and goes on to wear a wig, do the "uh-oh" dance amongst other various Beyonce dance moves... The truth behind the story is that Pink is tired of female artists selling out for the industry. The buzz about it is that she's mad about the VMA inscident, from Kanye to Bey Bey.... I don't know about this one Pink. People have a tendency to get in where they fit in, and especially since she hasn't been in the limelight, homegirl is just sounding bitter.

Is It THAT Hard To Keep A Secret? Michael Lynche

This man, has gotta be the dumbest man alive, its not THAT hard to keep a secret, so why toss your future away?... Let me introduce you to Michael Lynche. Michael was an American Idol finalist. Keyword in that last sentence was, "was". This fool, yes fool, started blabbing his mouth that he made it to the finals.
According to People magazine “American Idol” contestant from St. Petersburg has been cut from the show for reportedly violating a confidentiality agreement. "Idol” rules state that singers and their families cannot reveal the Hollywood week results until after the programs are broadcast. Several sources including the New York Post say Michael was replaced in the top 24 over the weekend. Fox has declined to comment on the report... In an interview on the “Idol” Web site, he says that he spent years sitting on the couch watching the show and wondering if he had what it takes to be on “American Idol.”
I guess he had what it takes, but threw it all away. If that isn't stupid, I don't know what is.

Dear Miss Dimplez...

Dear Miss Dimplez,
I would normally never write a letter to a complete stranger, but I'm hoping you could give me some advice. I am almost 100% sure that my girlfriend of 3 years has been cheating on me, and may have given me the clap. My suspicions first arose when she came home late one night and wouldn't let me hold her as we slept. I disregarded it, I just figured she had a bad day or something. And then I started finding random expensive looking things that I didn't buy for her around the house. I wanted to confront her about them, but she be on that "independent" bull sh*t, and I didn't want to offend her and make matters worse. But things have been taking a turn for the worst. I have never cheated on her, yet alone looked at another woman like that. And for the last 2 days its really hurt/burned when I pee. I went to the doctor and they told me had chlamydia. So obviously she's been raw dogging it with another n*gga. And I want to confront her, but I don't want to lose her. We've been together for 3 years and I want us to get through this, I want to marry her. I don't know what to do, and had no clue who else to go to for help... Please help.
Sincerely,
Guy Hopelessly In Love With His Woman

Dear Guy Hopelessly In Love With His Woman,
I know you want this relationship to work, but some things are not meant to be. In a 3 year relationship, you should not be the after thought, you should be the end goal. Confront her and move on. How can you whole-heartedly trust her after this incident? How can you continue to share your bed with someone who has no disregard for her or your health? Do not waste your time and energy on someone who isn't even thinking of you. You are grown so I can not tell you what to do. I can not force you to move on. All I can say is you can chose who you love. Just make sure whoever you chose, loves you too.

Femme Of The Day: Mariah Carey

On the cover of UK’s Observer Woman Magazine is Mariah Carey. She talks about about how she kept it real, and speaks on her insecurities, racial identity, & her role played in the movie “Precious”.
““I am very insecure about my looks, and I always have been because of being mixed race [Carey's mother is Irish-American and her father was an African-American of Venezuelan descent]. It’s not so weird now, and everyone’s accepting it in a big way, but as a child I felt very, um, out of place and didn’t feel pretty. So taking on that character and having Lee make me older in the way he did, I guess it was freeing because I didn’t have to try in any way to look pretty, and you know, when you grow up with that type of insecurity you don’t always feel pretty.” It is an unexpectedly raw answer. Does she feel pretty now? “Sometimes I feel all right.”

Even though I thought her role in Precious wasn't that big to be raving on and on about, I empathize with her. I could not imagine everyone not knowing that I'm Nigerian. Shoot, thats like denying a part of my identity. *smh.

Celebrity Stalker...

Tyson Beckford has decided to quit modeling. Thats like a fish deciding to quit swimming. He was born to model, but he has his reasons. Supposedly, Tyson wants to make a little more cheddar, but the model world aint having that. Aside from hosting a reality TV show called “Make Me A Supermodel”, he wants to focus on acting, along with other ventures. I hope he doesn't have intentions of getting signed to Young Money. I couldn't handle that.

Alicia Keys finally decided to squash the rumors floating around about her. The rumors were that she plans to retire from music when she turns 30. Well she ain't having that! According to Alicia, she isn't putting the mic down anytime soon.
She says, “I was just saying that I would like the option to be able to retire by 30. I feel very blessed… but I definitely have so much more to do. I have so many things that I want to do, so many more things I want to get involved in, important things I want to do… I have to perform, I love it so much.”


Drake is featured on this month's issue of Complex Magazine... the internet was a buzz about this today. I like the theme of this shoot though, "Is it hype or drive?"...
Drake: You can do something you believe in and people will still say, "This shit is terrible!" But I still believe in Kanye's vision. Maybe we didn't do a great job with getting the point across—it was supposed to be a humorous video. When I read the comments, I was like, Man, I guess no one wants to laugh anymore. Everybody wants the fairy tale, you know?

Talent Tuesday: Karlie Hustle

Today's "Talent Tuesday" diva, is none other than, Karlie Hustle. Karlie Hustle is MUCH MORE than just a girl. Ms. Hustle is Power 98.3 FM's Mid-Day Chick, writer/poet/blogger extraordinaire... She is one of my favorite radio personalities, and the best person to host an event if you want to have fun. I came to know of this lady when I first moved to AZ and turned on the radio. Yes, she is THAT boss. So I did what any "stan" would do, I added her on facebook [Karlie's FB]. And, I must say, she's got the best statuses ever. So, when she got on twitter, I stalked a few of her tweets [@KarlieHustle], and when she started a blog [find it here], my appreciation of her grew so much more. Definitely a 'woman that love made'. She's gotta be the coolest women I [don't] know! Believe me when I say, if she isn't already, she will be a household name.

I am definitely a fan. I can't wait to see what dope movement she has coming up next. Do not take my word for it, check her out yourself, she's dope...

Will of Day 26 Drops Solo Video

"Sex Conversation" by Will [of Day 26]. To me this video seems hella bootleg, but I get the "concept". He doesn't really do much in this video until the 2:50mark, where he takes off his shirt and things get a little bit saucy. But the ending is garbage. *smh. #JudgeForYourself

His mixtape is a solo 'tape called “Sex Tape”, set to drop on Valentines Day, will include this track and others like it... I didn't know the whole band broke up. Truth be told, I don't think they're ready to go solo. But, we'll see if Willie can bring it with his 'tape.

A Dimpled Truth


Educate yourself past the extremity of what is given to you. Do not thrive solely on directions and knowledge that is available; discover some for yourself. Listen to your own intuition. Move past preconceived notions. Diversify and live. Ignorance is not bliss. Using your eyes with prejudice will impair your vision; you'd be better off blind.
