That probably is none other than Andre Leon Talley. See, when you have a willing pupil (side-eyes Mariah Carey ), ALT's styling works.

Now you know Mimi wasn't going to give up those revealing clothes. But they are looking better, so she must have taken some advice.

Now, about today's episode...

JHud looked good, but she's always wearing black! But her sister had looked just like her (but bigger). I understand why, but I really wished she said One Night Only or I Am Changing (I loved it when she sang that on Letterman). I guess Oprah had to have her on because she's getting all of the attention and not B. And I'm glad that Oprah and her about the rumors about her and B.

I just realized that 3 of the 5 best actress nominees are British!

That's not unusual. Most of the winning pictures are ones you've never really heard of.


I didn't see the entire show. I'll have to watch later to hear what song JHud sings.

[jitterbug13]

She sang "I Love You I Do". The reason she sang it was because it was also nominated.

Although I love that song, I still haven't had time to watch the rest of the show. I'll catch it this evening.

Town Hall Show: Responding to Imus Controversy

Pt2: Hip Hop Artists and Industry Representatives (Tuesday)

[KAPPAtivating]

Ladies, I hardly ever watch Oprah, but please give a moment to say this. Today, my sister called me over to her house and told me that she had something she wanted me to see. When I got there, she told me she had Tivo'd Oprah, and I was about to walk back out the door.

However, she convinced me to sit down and watch today's show about abusive relationships. She also forced her son to watch with us. On today's show there was a woman who was video taped by her children, while her husband beat her for 51 minutes. As I watched the show, my first thought was that this dude sounds so freakin' stupid, and he is calling her stupid repeatedly. The second thing I thought is, 'why did she stay?'

As I continued to listen to her speak and watch the video, I have this overwhelming feeling of sorrow for her and her children. She has two sons and a daughter that watched this on a regular basis.

My point ladies, is that although I am one man (who has never abused a woman in my life), but has done my fair share of dirt to women, I APOLOGIZE to any woman who has ever been verbally or physically abused at the hands of a man! I am sorry for whatever you had to endure, and I am sorry that someone made you feel as though you are an inferior creature, who just happened to give the greatest gift known to mankind--birth.

Please know that I have always seen the value in a woman, but today my outlook has changed. Because as I look at my nephew (who's father is absent), I want to make sure that he does not ever become the man in the video. If you are a woman who is enduring or has endured this, please know that all men are not like this, and that there is a psychological problem with the abuser. May God always bless you and your family and give you the strength to get out and start over.

With much love and respect:

KAPPAtivating
