In Theaters this Weekend, Olympus Has Fallen

By Melvin Browne

olympus-has-fallen-posterWhen the White House (Secret Service Code: “Olympus”) is captured by a terrorist mastermind and the President is kidnapped, disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped within the building. As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning’s inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President and avert an even bigger crisis. Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) directs an all-star cast featuring Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Melissa Leo, Ashley Judd and Rick Yune.

I am especially excited to see my girl Angela Bassett act as head of the Secret Service, a role typically played by a male. As we all know about Angela she always brings the goods! Lynne Jacobs is the steely, strict, and tough director of the Secret Service. Excellent at her job, she’s known for always having everything under control. After terrorists take control of the White House, she’s a vital part of the security team working feverishly to save the president and her country during the crisis.

tumblr_mehf6nHx861rmaicyo1_1280In the world of love, sex and relationships, who is winning? The grown and sexy seem to be the most eligible contender. Thoughts of sex appeal, stability, and ambition comes to mind. However, I couldn’t help but wonder why even among the high rollers, games of the young, immature, and careless are played.

As I stood at the bar at Taj in NYC, I couldn’t help but notice the assortment of sexy men. All from different walks of life and swag. “Grown and Sexy” it’s not just a look it it’s a way of life. Similar to age being nothing but a number, grown and sexy knows no age and has no restrictions. It’s about handling your business, enjoying life and carrying yourself in a respectable manner. These attributes can resonate in any age group, sexual role, or character disposition (masculine/feminine). So the preconceived notion that it only applies to 30 and over has now vanished.

In this poker game of love and relationships, it’s all about the mentality you bring to the table. Grown and Sexy is served through actions, because nowadays anyone can throw on a suit and tie. An action that conveys, willingness to take control over your personal life situations and make positive things happen.  Now that’s Grown and Sexy!

I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements – fire, water, earth and wind.”  ”It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial.”

“BOW DOWN” B!₵H3$

By Stephfon Guidry

beyonce-bow-down-new-song-directlyricsThe #Beehive is all a buzz as Beyoncé (@baddiebey) Knowles-Carter returns with “BOW DOWN/I BEEN ON” a single that literally claims her reign as the undisputed DIVA of R&B spitting lyrics:

Respect that

BOW DOWN B*****S!!

I took some time off to live my life

But don’t think I’m just his little wife,

Don’t get it twisted, get it twisted

This my shit, Bow Down B*****s

H-Town Vicious

The single features the chopped-n-screwed –slowed down–styling of music made famous in the South with Beyoncé’s siren-esque vibrato in the backgrounds. Her HBO Special Life is But a Dream, showed us the humanness to all the glamour, talent, and music. Now this single thrusts Beyoncé back into the earphones, ipods, and clubs to make a decision to Jam it or Slam it? Which will you do to #KeepItCurrent with @HomoCouture?

Pucker Up! Kelly Rowland likes her Kisses Down Low

By Stephfon Guidry

artworks-000038621220-h1rtws-cropKelly Rowland goes from turning heads on the 85th Oscars red carpet to serving sensuous songstress with her “Kiss Down Low” Video. The song pulls #NOstuntsNshows by getting down to business and telling the public exactly what Ms Kelly Rowland enjoys. Her all pink background with diamond/pyramid geometric shapes is feminine and flirtatious as well as her styling. Kelly Rowland (@KELLYROWLAND) switches from vintage pin-up girl with legs fo’ days, to her classic red bob, from the Destiny’s Child Writings on the Wall album to, a fun Black and Pink flowing mane, wavy tresses and a Marilyn Munro inspired look. Ms. Rowland is like a life size chocolate Barbie with BAWDY—as singer @MiguelUnlimited would say. The music video is filled with pop colors and full body shots to give the eyes more than they can handle. Kelly Rowland captures the essence of being coy and cute with this music video. With a video like Kisses Down Low does Kelly Rowland have her niche of being a bombshell with banging music? Comment, LIKE and share while you #KeepItCurrent with @HomoCouture

From Mugshots to Millions: Desmond Bryant signs with Cleveland Browns

By Stephfon Guidry

93aiBbqIan Rapoport (@RapSheet) of NFL.com tweeted “#Raiders DT Desmond Bryant is going to sign with Cleveland. Best DT on the market.” Desmond Bryant began his hard-hitting career professionally with the Raiders back in 2009 as an undrafted free agent. Desmond Bryant recently signed with Cleveland Browns for a five-year deal of $34 Million and a guaranteed $15 Million. While in February he played a bit too hard in Miami and became the butt of many a joke from his Mugshot. Now that’s a face only a Mother could love. Bryant was charged with a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief, due to his drunken raucous at a neighbor’s residence in Miami. Bryant’s sheer talent out-shined his misbehavior, finishing last season with 36 tackles and four sacks in 16 games. The NFL is now all abuzz about the new deal for Desmond Bryant; Cleveland fans await their new Defensive addition as well as Paul Kruger from the Baltimore Ravens (with his own $40 Million deal).  Who says money can’t buy you talent?

By Stephfon Guidry

Lil-Kim-Wendy-WilliamsBad Girls Club Celebrity edition, clearly Wendy Williams (@WendyWilliams) has come a long way from her days a disc jockey on radio gossiping and gabbing to the microphone yet now she has stirred up a battle with Hip Hop Queen B, Lil Kim (@LilKim). It is clear that Lil Kim has physically changed over the years. However Wendy Williams used Lil Kim’s recent paparazzi snapshots as one of her HOT TOPICS speaking on the drastic plastic surgery changes. Lil Kim took the topic like a prize fighter and tweeted her combination of disses, brings to mind the phrase ‘reading for filth’! Wendy Williams may have a talk show but at this most recent date it seems Lil’ Kim put a period on this Hot Topic. With diva’s dishing our dirt like this who needs a new season of Bad Girls Club? Just Kidding!
