Walk about in Dania Beach Boulevard

 Peace of England in the sunny side of the world

When you go to a new place, it is only natural to explore your surroundings. Early morning walk avoids a big ground, and allows you to be a bit more nosey simply because people have time to talk with you more. American people are very friendly, when you walk about, you still do get the good morning from the stranger and the smile on the top of it. I found this morning that a peace of good old England is land marked it self in here with the traditional red phone box. English pub called Kings head has seen the best days, but outside is a nice combination of the traditional pub look and Miami beach style patio. In front of the pub there is also the traditional red box, with a little bit of wear and tear, but it still stands to remind people of the old good England.

Budget staying is the way to travel

Miami offers many types of accommodations, and travelling here does not have to be that expensive than people think. Most motels come with a nice standard rooms, they have little fridges in them, they have the pool and they have got the friendly atmosphere to stay in. 

If you know where you want to go, it's worth of looking from the local directories the motels and then just surf the net for the prices. Motel 6 offers the affordable $42.71 per night a room with a queen size bed, roomy space, television and morning cafe. There is no cooking facilities, but there are grocery shops around from the little distance of walking and the things you need to keep in the  fridge can be kept down stairs in the big fridge. Some motels do have micro wave in the room and if you want to go posh, you can get the room with a little cooking space in it too, but that of coarse is a bit more money. 

There is a public transport available and if you feel really adventurous, you can take a bus and see where the road leads. 

The motel where I am staying, has a local attraction which was a surprise for me and not advertised anywhere. There is a population of local monkeys who come to eat daily from the guests. The story tells that there was a zoo for a long time ago and when it was closed down by the local council, the owner set some animals free. The monkeys are friendly and no person has ever been hurt by them, but they still are wild animals, so care should be taken when interacting with them. 

The motel is also pet friendly and many guests stay here with their dogs, so if your pooch has the passport, you can take him in here. 

All around the budget travelling is a good option if you don't want to splash a lot of money and in the way is more rewarding, because everything is not carried to you on the plate, so to speak, and you get to see the real face of the place. 

World did not end, Christmas gone again

After we all have had our bellies full of turkey, ham and chocolate, maybe it's a good thing that we take a look what happened last year.
Preparing your self to the year to come is a part of human life, we all do it and we all think about it. We look what we could do a bit better and we hope that what ever the next year brings along, it will be the better one.

I am going to start my new Year with a huge Miami special. I will be looking into the night life, businesses and people in this sunny state of the world, and most importantly, I tell you what Miami has to offer when it comes to the music.

The weather is sunny, I stepped into the summer from the cold rain of London. I saw the airport of the worlds leading city Washington and I have to say... I expected to see huge hall with a spectacles, but saw long walks instead full of little shops, nice people on the way and soft carpet under my feet to sooth the foot ache my shoes kindly provided. I loved the relaxed atmosphere of the place and airport announcements were absolutely unique. If you ever pass that part of the world, spend the time of listening those announcements on the flight gates, there are some stars to be made in there.

First morning in Miami brought a sunshine, palm trees in front of my hotel room and friendly smiles from my temporary neighbours. It's all good and I can't wait what I will have ahead of me.

Countdown to Christmas on the wayyyyy!!!!!!

Very Merry Christmas from DMX!

Hope you enjoy this little video clip from the bad boy of hip hop. Just goes to show that EVERYBODY wants to believe in Santa! 

Beyonce a new face of Pepsi

Nicole admits that she has had to sacrifice many Christmases before because of her busy schedule. I am sure that she makes the best of this one with her loved ones! 

MC Sniper and Chwee Rap go Geto Christmas

Put your stamp on World AIDS day!

Tomorrow we are fighting a decease that influences on 33,3 million people in the world. The facts of AIDS are well known, but there still are stigmas attached to this uncurable illness that attacks on the immunity system in the body. 

90% of contracted infections are from a sexual contact. Even tho there are medication available to control the decease, there is no cure. There still is a long way to go on a research work. 

Belvedere Vodka and RED™ celebrate World AIDS day! 

Belvedere Vodka has traditionally taken apart to fight this decease and this year is not an exception. Inviting celebrities to put their mark on the found raising, each year brings a different party to attend to. This year Belvedere decided to turn Manhattans Meatpacking District into a huge open air night club. The big bottle that is traditionally signed by the celebrity guests got signatures of Shay Mitchell, Kelly Rutherford, Alan Cumming, Mia Moretti, Neon Hitch, Angela Martini, Jessica White, Carrie Keagan, Bridget Kelly, Jennifer Williams, Sky Nellor, Prodigy, Bip Ling, Andre Balazs and Andrej Pejic.

Music was provided by Chromeo-DJ duo Dave 1 and P-Thugg. 

Celebrities took the stand to raise awareness around the end beginning of AIDS, meaning the virtual elimination of the HIV virus from mothers to their babies and achieving the first AIDS free generation born by 2015. 

On the previous years the movement has been supported by Mary J Blidge, Alicia Keys and Rita Ora.

Chitty Bang hotting things up in Miami

It's not too often when you hear the real hip hop rising again and the old school vibes taking over. The Capital Gang in Miami has been doing this relentlessly for years and they are among the cream of the underground hip hop. 

The Capital Gang consists of a unit but the G's on The front-line are the Homies... (Chitty Bang, Bobby Blu, Mike Dub, Young Laze and Blacc. Anchored by The Pusha It's a movement that spawned to fill that void that the Hip-Hop game needs so much.. This Band Of Brothers have come together to solidify some of the hottest music this game has witnessed... I just hope you don't miss out.. The Cap Gang & Star In The Hood Ent. are on the rise. Thank's for blessing the game with this new ray of hope... "Ride with us." 

These local stars have had a taste of the success after opening shows for the hip hop royalty as Plies, Waka Flokka, D.M.X and Souljah Boy. 

 

When not factoring the tunes and beats with Pusha, Chitty Bang is making his moves in music. 

On his album America's Nightmare, Chitty is talking of the difficulties of bringing up children in a modern America. He tackles directly to the reasons of hustling at a young age for just helping his mother to get by with every day life. 

" I represent the dirty to the fullest. We have love for the streets and for hip hop and that's why we do it. "

Bobbi Kristina in a car accident

The late Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina has been in a car accident yesterday morning. The police has finished their investigation and announced that no alcohol or drugs were involved. 

The accident follows a serious of Bobbi's moments after announcing her engagement and the break up with her adopted brother Nick Gordon. 

Bobbi was unharmed and walked away from the scene without injuries. 

She has crashed her Camaro three times in a recent months and this seems to be one of the serious of dramatic events in her life after her mothers death. 

When Bobbi announced her engagement with Nick last month in a preview of their reality show, Nick made it clear via Twitter that they are not a couple, just good friends as they have always been. Nick was adopted by Whitney when he was 12 years old and Bobbi and Nick were always raised as a sister and brother, but the relationship changed to a romance following Whitney's death. 

Put up the tree, light up the lights and chill with jingle bells!

CeeLo needs love ft frog! 

Remember when we all used to sit in front of the television back in 80's to see how superstars play with puppets! Quaranteed entertainment with Miss Piggy and Kermit with all the drama you can have in the safe sophisticated way. So when the whole world is preparing for Christmas, CeeLo has gone green with forever so young frog Kermit and his gang and the hit "All I need is love" is born. 

CeeLo is pushing out the new Christmas album called "CeeLo's magic moment". Just before Christmas CeeLo admitted to Hollywood reporter that fame is not such a glam business after all : " Just talk and talk and talk - it takes a toll on you. There's no way you can avoid people unless you can afford to fly private all the time, and I can't.... It's toll of being talented."

You got Santa in your heart, you got Santa in your home! 

Christmas in Grease style

When Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta danced and sang their hearts out a long time ago, the legend was born. Grease pulled the big numbers and has from there on gone to the musical stages all over the world attracting full houses. So what would the leading stars do for this Christmas? Two stars have teamed up again warming up the old fire place and released Christmas album called simply "This Christmas". Tracks include some classics for the season as "Baby it's cold outside", "Silent night" and "White Christmas". But there is something new in the disc too! The very same writer who did "You're the one that I want" has been busy writing a new song for the pair called "I think you might like it".

There are some other high profile entertainers in the album too, Barbara Streisand, Tony Bennet and James Taylor have also opened their vocal cords for this project. This will be the perfect Christmas gift for the mum and we know she will love it! 

Prince looking for princess.... again? 

Looks like Prince Harry is going to have a single Christmas The recent love interest Cressida Bonas has got tired for his playboy style and moved on. The lonely Prince will be spending Christmas in Afganistan completing his four month tour. 

The sources say that Harry has been calling to Cressida and asked her to wait for him, but the naked billliard game in Las Vegas last summer was one too many for the beautiful blonde and she has noticed that this Prince is not so serious after all. 

There's no business like show business...

Nicki Minaj is not getting along....

After Steven Tyler quit his post as American idol judge, something is missing from the show. The hard core rocker definately brought some love to the show. Nicki Minaj stepped along and there are rumors that lots of feuds are arising between Nicki Minaj and RnB diva Mariah Carey. 

Steve simply stated in MTV news: " You just have to give your opinion. It wasn't hard for me, but I would imagine it's hard for some people and they need a manager to say Shut the f*ck up, and just give them your opinion." 

Following MTV news Nicki Minaj wanted to put her own stamp on the conversation and Twitted :" I understand that you wanted to keep your job but.... I haven't done anything to you. That's a racist comment."

 Nicki is not making friends obviously but then again, I would imagine that the constant feuds will bring the numbers up for the show and that should make Simon Cowell happy.

Chris Brown has deleted his Twitter

When Chris Brown has been partying with Rihanna in Berlin, comedy writer Jenny Johnson told him that he looks old. The reply to her was:" I look old as f**k! I'm only 23", on which Jenny replied :" I know! Being a worthless peace of s**t can really age person!" 

The angry tweeting resulted Chris deleting his Twitter account, but before he did that, he claimed that he is not upset and he felt that he was entertaining the ignorance. 

Twitter war included comments about the assault on Rihanna back in 2009. Rihanna and Chris Brown have since worked together in Rihannas new album singing the track Nobodies business. 

The good news to Chris is, that he wont be charged in a bar fight he had with Drake earlier this year. Reports say that the CCTV video was useless because it was blurry and the whiteness statements were inconclusive. 

Beyonce and Jay Z share the love with fans on thanksgiving

The married couple decided to share the love with their fans and post personal pictures of the family with Blue Ivy in the Beyonces' personal Tumblr page. 

They are feeling very thankful for the family and they wrote hand written note to all of the fans. 

Celebrities inked

We all admire the beautiful body art. Celebrities love to show off their new inks and we all love to see them too.

Chris Brown seems to have bitter sweet memories as his latest edition on his neck resembles Rihanna, but not in the good days, the days she found her self in bruises! Chris, what were you thinking of? Chris tells it's not Rihanna but a random woman, however, the tattoo of a woman that is in bruises and cut lip?

Young Twighlight star Jackson Rathbone has also visited in the ink studio. We all know we love to ink on the skin what we love, but a bottle of Heinz ketshup? He revealed his body art in The Wendy Williams show to everyone to see.

I can not stop wonder, what next?

Smack Gunz

Miami is traditionally heaving with urban talent. Lots of young artists are there to make their dream come true, studios are busy recording track after the track and beats are hotting up for A- listers as well as unsigned underground artists.

One of the rising stars from that scene is Smack Gunz, a rapper with a healthy attitude towards life and realistic dreams with the determination to make them true.

"I was born may 14, 1992. My father was a dboy in lil Hait.i My father was doing federal time though out my child hood. I wanted to be just like him. Age 13 I listened to the music more. I had a passion for it so at my late 13 I began rapping. I use to always beat on tables and I started freestyle competitions. Age 14 I caught my first charge . When i got out, I was introduced to the streets, learned from neighborhood friends how to make money in these streets. My brothers thought me everything I know. I started putting my streetlife into my rhyme. At the age 15 I lost my uncle,  he was the closest person to me as a father figure. Ever since then I've been going hard at everything I do."


Currently Smack Gunz is working on a new mixtape called Dedication & Motivation.
He has shows regularly and is tight in the music scene. He is opening shows to Jimmy Dade, Billy Blue and Ice Berg.

Smack Gunz is pushing his music hard to the wider audience and I am sure that we will hear from him more in the near future. The quality of his work speaks for it self and dedication to his passion is all there to be heard.

R.I.P Larry Hagman aka JR Ewing

We all knew him in our living rooms and we all loved to hate him. He brought the new low to the soaps in TV and I remember sitting weekly in front of the tele watching his conman mentality. He was not just bad, he was very very bad..... that of coarse was only his TV personality JR Ewing, nothing to do with the real Larry Hagman, who was a really nice guy! 

Larry Hagman first became famous in the widely watched TV sitcom I love Jeannie back in 1965. His role as Major Anthony Nelson, an astronaut, who discovered a beautiful genie in the bottle.

His real international success started in Dallas, as JR Ewing he was the master villain of the world and without a doubt made TV history in the episode where the whole world was glued on the screens to find out who shot JR. 

Larry Hagman suffered of health problems, but that did not take away his spirit and smile. Even at his later years Larry wanted to bring JR back alive for our amusement and Dallas came back to our TV screens at 2012. Co actors remember his smile, his generosity towards numbers of charities and his willingness to help those who needed him. In real life Larry Hagman was an total opposite from JR Ewing. 

I am paying my respects to the godfather of TV villains, because let's face it.... if there would not have been JR Ewing, we would have never had Dirty Den or any other soap villains. RIP Larry, we pray for your soul and thank you for the moments you have given us in front of TV on Friday nights.

Memory Lane

Isn't it amazing how sometimes you look to your past and notice, how some people have lead you to where you are now, how some people have been there on the way and you never really even realized.... I have had one of those days today. Someone who is very close to me, have been walking this road with me without me really seen him and now he is one of the most important person in my life.

So how did I get here? Freelance journalist, owner of few brands that are under development.... music in my heart and soul, love to share and passion to push things that I love and it's right there under my nose looking to my face and smiling!

So I am a promoter, journalist, hairdresser and entrepreneur. I am lucky because I can do what I want to do, I determine my own hours, how much I want to put work in and when I want to work. I am currently developing 3 brands and I can't wait to introduce them to the world; Smooth Clothing for men, Dia-Monde for ladies and Just4Soul club clothing with sexy edge but inspired by 70s' soul divas! They all are going to be huge and they have lots of potential. 

Some pictures I have put in here from my previous promotions. BLISS ever growing girl group from Atlanta... they will be massive, and these girls are really nice too! They are genuine and actually talk to their fans in facebook... I know because my daughter keeps pestering them lol. 

So after few words of my introduction I do hope if you read my blog, you find it funny and good. I am going to share you with the latest show business news and pictures, add some interviews of underground groups concentrating to hip hop and RnB music. Sky is a limit but only if you want to reach it!
