Where did you meet?

I met my ex-wife through a mutual friend of ours so long ago now!

As for my ex-girlfriends we generally met on some social networking site but when I actually met one not on one of the sites she paid more attention to her friends than me so I am at a lost for words here in meeting the right lady at this time so maybe I will do what I have been doing and that is just keeping to myself with me and my thoughts?

What venues offer the best potential to meeting that special someone?

I met my ex- at a bbq that was hosted by his ex-fiance back in July of '04 (I now know...REALLY BIG MISTAKE!!!!, but the hostess and I are still tight :-)). I met my current "friend" at a 12-hour line dance marathon (it was a fund raiser for Cancer research) in South Jersey this past May. The t-shirt I was wearing that night got his attention, he approached me, we started talking, and just hit it off.
So you danced for 12 hours straight Miss New York?? BTW what was on ur t-shirt??

I met my husband to be through his son's mother back in 2005 (yeah I know that's weird huh). At the time they were still together and I was in a relationship as well, but somehow someway we just really had a connection, the deepest connection I've ever felt with anyone. So anyway to make a long story short, I broke up with my then boyfriend a few months after meeting my fiance and he and his son's mom had broken up. They were already having issues long before I ever met him so I'm not a homewrecker. LOL. Anyway, a few months after that he and I ended up together. It's been 4 years now. We've had our ups and our downs, but he's the best thing that could have ever happened to me (other than giving my life to Christ)!!!!!
That is awesome news to hear be blessed!

Met the hubby at a video shoot in LA. Went to the hotel where he was staying and he thought I was 14 and told me I need to take my young a-- home because "grown" folks business was getting ready to take place. I told him to add 10 years to that and he was shocked that I was a "woman" 15 years later, here we are.

Beyonce Preps TWO New Projects (Including New Album) For 2012

One of Beyonce's producers just spilled the beans that the new mom is--unsurprisingly--gearing up for her fifth solo studio album.  Plus, she's got a second project up her sleeve for 2012.  Deets inside...

 

Told y'all this chick was planning album content while she was breastfeeding and changing diapers.  Baby Blue's mom is said to be already setting up to work on a new album.  And yes, B.I.C. will likely be her muse.  Producer/Songwriter Ryan Tedder, who just copped an award at last night's GRAMMYS for contributing to Adele's Album of the Year, 21, revealed some generalities.

He said it goes “without saying” that Bey’s work will have some reflection on her newborn child Blue Ivy, but that “the conversations about her next album literally just happened.”

“You feed her the best that you have. She’s just a phenomenal filter… she can identify what the next thing is,” Tedder said of the “Party” girl, noting that she has “two projects happening” this year. “You just let her go.”

Bey is also conducting a global remix competition for her fans.  The best remix of her track "End of Time" will appear on a future release. 

Here we go...

Drake And Rihanna, Matt & Gloria Govan, Gabby Union & Savannah Brinson PARTY IT Up At His Grammy Afterparty

 
Drake and Rihanna partied it up his Grammy afterparty, shortly after she hit the stage at House Of Blues.  See the party people inside along with Gabby Union, Savannah Brinson, Tyga, Ameriie and Matt Barnes & Gloria Govan....
 

 
After the Grammys, Rihanna performed at the Three Six Zero & Roc Nation Benefit at House of Blues Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. 
 
And afterwards....

Rihanna went over to the Greystone Manor Club for the Grey Goose, Grand Tactics & JL Nights Presents The Take Care Grammy Party Hosted By Drake.  And her brother Rorrey rolled with her.

 

 

Drake clearly enjoyed the Grey Goose sponsorship.

 
Gabrielle Union and Savannah Brinson tweeted a few pics of themselves getting down at the party. 

 
 
Matt Barnes was there with Gloria Govan.  Holding hand and all.  So much for that breakup.  She said they've been "dating again" but clearly things have escalated.

 
Carl Payne was getting his grown man on.....but the thick beard DOES NOT work for him.  Trim it please!

 
A slim and trim Marsha Ambrosius rocked a strawberry blonde coif and sparkling dress.


 
Tyga got his party on. No Blac Chyna?

 
And Ameriie was there too.  But about this hair....not loving it.  Getting a Star Trek vibe..

Nicki Minaj Covers NEW YORK Magazine, Explains Controversial GRAMMY Performance

Nicki Minaj is talking about fashion--and why she's over that world.  The "Stupid H*e" rapper tells New York Magazine that she's not about fitting into the IN crowd.  And she tells Ryan Seacreast why she went the route she did last night....

In a series of candid shots with gritty special effects, Nicki poses for the Spring FASHION issue of New York magazine.  Here's highlights from her interesting perspective about the fashion world--and why she's skipping NY Fashion Week for the most part:

Are you coming back to Fashion Week this time?
I’m not impressed to be in that world. I’m in my own world. I think sometimes the fashion world isn’t even about clothes anymore; it’s about this “in” crowd, and I’m not into that. But I’m doing a Barbie fashion show. They did a Barbie for me, and that is super friggin’ amazing.

So is it safe to assume that you were always interested in fashion?
I’ve always been intrigued by color and by interesting hair. I was one of those weird little girls doing my own hair at the age of 9. I was, like, getting weird gels and new brushes and cornrow holders. I would tweak and perm at the age of 13. When I first went to get my hair colored, I was about 14 and I wanted blonde highlights. The beautician said, “No, you have to get your mother on the phone,” and I was just crying and begging. I’ve always been experimenting. Cyndi Lauper’s videos—that’s what intrigued me.

And you definitely use your looks to get noticed.
I like the idea of doing something that everyone else is not. I get high off that. Just the idea that other people don’t have the balls to do something—that’s my thing.
 

Here's the rest of her pics:

And if you're still scratching your head about her performance last night at the GRAMMY Awards--you're not the only one. 

She talked to Ryan Seacrest today on his radio show and revealed a few things:

On attending the Grammys with a Pope look-alike: “The religious figure is there because he was called on by Roman’s mom to rehabilitate him.”

On her debut performance of “Roman Holiday”: “I had this vision for him to be sort of exorcised—or actually he never gets exorcised—but people around him tell him he’s not good enough because he’s not normal, he’s not blending in with the average Joe. And so his mother is scared and the people around him are afraid because they’ve never seen anything like him. He wanted to show that not only is he amazing and he’s sure of himself and confident, but he’s never gonna change, he’s never gonna be exorcised. Even when they throw the holy water on him, he still rises above.”

On why she chose “Roman Holiday” for the Grammys: “The Grammys chose ‘Roman Holiday.’ The producers of the Grammys came to the studio and I played them ‘Roman Holiday,’ and I could not play them another record after they heard that. They went crazy. I could have chosen to do a no-brainer pop song, but I can’t do it anymore. I have to stay true to what I’m doing.”

Feel like we're listening to a 12-year-old during a tea party with her imaginary friends.  But if that's what works...

Here's the audio in full:
