Plan A Luxury Summer Vegas Vacay 4 Less!

April 13, 2012 by

There is no greater way to travel then Luxury for Less.

If  you are thinking about planning a vacay (that’s country club for vacation)  or  a trip to vegas  there are some great  sales on jetsetter.com right now for The Signature Hotel @MGM Grand and at the Hard Rock Hotel  (Their pool Rehab is one of D best in Vegas!).  The sale allows you to book  though August 31 with rates starting from under $100 per night, but there is only 2 more days left to make a reservation through JetSetter.com.

The Signature at MGM Grand

On Sale From $95 / night  ($95 rate is sunday thru mon on this sale, but the weekend rate is discounted too)      Click Here

The Venetian

on sale from $189/night  reg. $250+ 

The Venetian is my one of my favorite Vegas Hotels because it is centrally located to everywhere you would want to be in Vegas. Although it wouldn’t be hard to spend days on end inside this hotel without going stir crazy, Vegas is your playground with  the “Duece” bus stop right out side to take you from uptown to downtown Las Vegas.

The Hard Rock Hotel

on sale from $64/night

Do Vegas like the Rock God that you are at The Hard Rock Hotel.   I like this hotel because it is, what it is, a party hotel. So if you are going to Vegas for some R&R and a serene environment, you might want to find another spot.

I also like it because of all of the cool music memorabilia that the hotel is emerged in, It’s like staying in a rock and roll museum and that’s pretty cool. Be advised that this hotel is East of the Vegas Strip so if you are looking to trollip up and down the strip as many want to , bring ya walking shoes if you stay here.

Summer is around the corner and I know money is tight for a lot of folks.. but the rooms at these all-suite hotels a spacious enough  for you and a group of friends to split the costs.

Enjoy!

And remember what happens in Vegas, may end up on YouTube or someones Timeline….

Vegas responsibly, holla!

Live: Twitter-Therapy Fail.. Spike Lee Did What?

March 29, 2012 by

Whoa……….

The block is hot in the twittersphere this week (translation: there have been several celeb’s socially hanging themselves on Twitter).

In a justice therapy session via twitter gone wrong, the one-stop-movie-shop Spike Lee is in all kinds of hot water today. The “Do The Right Thing” Director did the wrong thing by tweeting an address that he thought to be George Zimmerman’s to his 250,000 followers.

OM-Geezy, What?  The address did not belong to Zimmerman but it was that of Mr. and Mrs.  McClain who are in their 70′s. *mouth all open*

As expected soon after Lee tweeted the address, the McClain’s began receiving threats and had to leave their home. (whoa)

Late last night Spike Lee tweeted an apology ” I deeply apologize to the McClain family for re-tweeting their address. It was a mistake.”

……Uhh Spike, I don’t think the McClain’s, being 70 and all, are on twitter, you should probably give them a call, or buy them a penthouse or something, then send a fruit basket to the penthouse that you brought them. When you put an innocent elderly couple’s life in danger I don’t think saying sorry via twitter is gonna cut it, you know what I mean?

The McCains have since supposedly  retained a lawyer… oh my, they may be getting that penthouse after all. *shrug*

The Twittersphere can be a dangerous place for public figures, saying things in person can be denied, but in the TwitterVille once you press the lil’ birdie button, there’s no going back….

Well Spike it looks like theres no way around it, you are wrong for this one. Lucky for you, Lindsay Lohan is off of probation today,  and many will be wagering about how long she will be able to stay that way, which will distract most from your blurb. #The-Brighter-Side-Of-Things *cheese*

Tweet Often, Tweet Responsibly……

Live! Twitter Beef: Madonna vs Piers Morgan

March 28, 2012 by

What had happened was….

Tuesday night Piers Morgan let the Twitterverse know that Madonna was the latest to be banned from his show. The pop queen’s manager then tweeted back an attachment from the producers of Morgans UK  chat show inviting the blond diva to appear on his show.

Then..

Piers basically said ohh. I was just talking about my CNN show, but your banned from the UK show now too. (ouuuuuu)

After that…..

Madonna’s peeps told TMZ that the Material Girl (it’s fun coming up with different ways to say Madonna…lol) has no idea why Piers is mad at her and that “she doesn’t even know who he is.”  BOOM.

Thats how celebrities insult each other. They don’t tend to call each other bi%^hes or  a m-effer’s like normal people when insulted, they merely deny the others  existence on earth by saying “I don’t even know who you are, who are you again?”.  Good move Madonna.

Back in January 2011 Piers said Madonna has been “an irritant in my life for 20 years.”

Piers called her an irritant, thats like a rash or something, that’s pretty cold. I don’t know what Piers has against Madonna but it seems pretty dang serious. It does seem like she has a stank attitude, but when you are a Pop Goddess (in your head) it’s only expected.

I was mad at her for the Super Bowl performance but I have since healed. Piers on the other hand is like the only gay man I know who doesn’t like Madonna, isn’t that against the rules or something.

I do know this, Piers better stop banning folks from his show before he don’t have no show.

Holla,

Live! Flashback Monday 1996: Family Matters And Steve Urkel

March 19, 2012 by

The year was 1996 and if you weren’t yet old enough to be fist pumping in the club on a Friday night is was almost certain that you were at home in front of the tube for ABC’s T.G.I.F sitcom line up.

TGIF contained several wholesome family orientated comodies like, Perfect Strangers, Full House, and the most popular, Family Matters.  The Winslow family and its zany nerdy neighbor Steve Urkel made us laugh, and taught us wholesome lessons for 9 seasons.

Jaleel White

Jaleel White, the actor who played Urkel, is now 34, and has been working several roles behind, and in front of the camera in Hollywood.

We also will be seeing Jaleel cuttin’ a rug on this seasons Dancing With The Stars which kicks off tonight on ABC.  The jury is still out on whether he’ll give the suspenders another twirl for old times sake.

Enjoy this Family Matters clip from their 1996 halloween episode!
