Popcorn, Anyone? Celebrity Social Media Fails

Oh Hillary. You were doing so well, preparing us for a valiant stab at President. Some of us anticipated your bid, others hoped you would learn from your last one. Either way, now due to a few deletes too many your actions remain in a questionable status and your popularity may wane rather than increase in your favor. 

But before we point fingers at Hillary, shouldn't we pay attention to other public figures who have crashed and burned on the social media train? Hillary Clinton merely pressed the delete button. There have been a few others who have commit social media suicide. Let's revisit them, shall we?

10. James Franco : Found a fan, took a pic and then flirted with her over social media. She took screen shots and posted it to social media. Instant embarrassment. The end. Oh wait!- She was 17. Okay, now I'm done. 
9.#susanalbumparty ....Why Susan Boyle, why? Read that a few times and you may understand. Where was your thinking cap?
8. Iggy Azalea: After several emotional tirades and an eventual departure from Twitter, she is now being tweeted about for her notorious freestyle fumble where she actually raps heiroglyphics. And people say she isn't talented. 
7. The eternal narcissist Donald Trump retweeted a "fans" comment saying: You are For sUre the Coolest! I thinK YOUr hAterS are JealouS. Hope yOu LikE this! Thanks! Too bad he didn't read all of the caps...
6.Snoop Dog decided to engage in a "Twitter War" with who else? Iggy Azalea. There have been plenty things that he's done that have dropped his stock in the Rap Community but going back and forth 140 characters at a time the Aussi rapper brought lame to new heights. 
5.“I am from every continent in Africa except for one AND I’m from every continent in Europe except for one.”- Raven Symone.  So... I'm guessing she isn't from... Zamunda?
4.Porn Hub decided to honor MLK on Twitter... no, wait for it... by requesting its users only use the Ebony section of the pornography site.  No...still not done. Then, corrected the tweet to say that MLK would have preferred we use the interracial section instead. I don't need a punchline. Pornhub had me covered on this one. 
3.Epicurious suggested cranberry scones in honor of Boston and New England, this came right after the  marathon massacre.
2.Bill Cosby asked people to meme him, and they did. They ditched references to his television show and Jello food items. Instead they blasted him as a rapist. Now that was just meme. 
1. The NYPD launched a hashtag campaign aimed to have people show the wonderful things that the department does for the state of NY. Instead of cats getting coaxed out of trees, numerous images of police brutality surfaced turning what was aimed to be joyful and light into a cry for civil rights. Way to fail #myNYPD, way to fail. 

I usually close my blogs with some thought provoking statement, but I don't have one. I don't want to stop people from failing on social media. One mans failure, is another man's comedic relief. Happy posting!

And I Am Telling You... Breaking Up Is Hard To Do!

Dreamgirls was a successful Broadway play for years. It even made it's way to the big screen in 2006. Original headliners of the staged version included then little known Loretta Divine and now long forgotten Jennifer Holliday. Watching the performance of the then robust and popular Holliday allowed me to witness her successful portrayal of the scorned character Effie White. In a passionate performance she screamed, sobbed and belted the lyrics of "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going" in such a way that years later many have made a valiant effort to match her vocal bravado in singing the same song. Of those attempts, most have fallen far from the mark. With this knowledge, I wondered why was it that Jennifer Hollidays career didn't move much further beyond her Dreamgirls fame. Upon doing a bit of google research ( not the most reliable, but definitely the most convenient) I have found several theories as to why Jennifer Holiday's career came to a standstill...

Good Morning Heartache....

When I was about 14 my mother gave me a book called "Good Morning Holy Spirit". It was a Christian book that was aimed to keep believers in tune with God. It encouraged the reader to wake up each morning and greet God, allowing Him to play a role in your life each day. I still try to do that. Recently, I realized that another part of my life that I can certainly do without is heartache. Getting married and going through the motions of a divorce gives way to feelings that are far from pleasant. It's stressful, it's emotionally draining and it hurts like the dickens. With all of these aches and pains I still press on with my decision to end my marriage. My husband understands. For the first time last night, I poured my heart out to him, sobbed and expressed my pain. I told him that I loved him, but I could never be with him again. I admitted that I don't know how to be his wife. I admitted that I am petrified of being a single parent to two girls. I mourn...

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...
