You all know girls don't poo, right? Right. We only do number one and the number two business never happened. That stink in the ladies, or in your loo after your girlfriend just came out? Must be your imagination. This ad came up before a video I was about to watch on Youtube and got me laughing so hard. The actress, and those lines? You have to see it to believe it, lol...




The first and last lines are, 'You would not believe the motherload I just dropped,' and 'Our business is to make it smell like your business never even happened.' Hilarious!

A Man Punches Female Store Clerk Over 41 Cents?

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 09:08 AM PDT


A man who is probably a cigarette addict punched a woman in a California store in the face because he could not pay the one dollar and 41 cents needed to buy a pack of cigarettes. Police are now looking for the man. See the video below...




According to the news,

 "Yadira", 23, was working at the store on Sept. 7, 2013 when a man came into the Lakewood convenience store and asked for Swisher Sweets cigar and put $1 down on the counter. When she told him it cost 41 cents more, the man refused to pay and became belligerent.
"He just says, 'Well, this is all I have….(expletive) whatever.' And I was like, 'You need to get out of the store.' I was like, 'I'm sorry.' And he tries to snatch it," Yadira told KCBS.
The man then leaned across the counter and punched her in the face, then left.
Detectives said the man took off and none of the other customers jumped into action right away.

Kerry Washington On Being Olivia Pope And Some ‘Scandal’ Season 3 Secrets

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 06:00 AM PDT


Kerry Washington, on the set of the upcoming season of Scandal, recently spoke with New York Post's Mary Murphy and in their chat, she talks about herself, and shares some of the secrets of the first two episodes of the show. Below are some excerpts from the interview. There are spoilers :)


Even in its third season, which premieres Thursday at 10 p.m., the Shonda Rhimes series still has the campy cojones to shock a cast that has seen their characters commit crime after crime, all while holding the highest political offices. Tony Goldwyn, the embattled President Grant, is chief among them — last season he killed a Supreme Court justice. As Washington and the other actors go to the set to start shooting, he heads for his car, telling me, "This episode is a perfect storm of twists and turns."

Inside the huge soundstage, a very serious scene in the Pope & Associates boardroom is under way. Washington has transformed herself into Olivia Pope, who intimidates nearly everyone else on the show. She's also a fashion plate — today she's wearing a navy suit by Alexander McQueen.

As usual, Olivia is plagued by problems, the biggest of which is what to do now that she has been outed as the president's mistress. How is she going to get out of this very public jam?

The answer appears to come in the scene being filmed. A pretty blonde has been hired to confess on live television that she is sleeping with the commander in chief.

Olivia Pope stops the TV interview, rushing into her office to call the president. Goldwyn isn't really on the other line, so he can't hear Washington when she yells, "You mother-#!*#@!"

The crew cracks up.

Kerry Washington has a sense of humor! Who knew?

You just don't expect it from one of the most respected TV actresses of the year.

"She's a goofball," says Darby Stanchfield (Abby Whelan), sitting in a director's chair eating a bag of pretzels.

In between lighting changes, Washington sits next to me for a few moments and tells me a story about how her playful side shocked Quentin Tarrantino, who directed her in "Django Unchained."

"He pulled me aside during shooting and told me he had no idea I was so silly," she says. Then she smiles. "I got my sense of humor from my dad."

Speaking of dads, nothing could have been more startling than the final moments of last season when we learned that the mysterious character known as Rowan, the leader of a black ops CIA team operating without our borders, was Olivia's father.
"When I read that script I was shocked," says Washington, calling a few days after my set visit. Since she was in almost every scene, there wasn't much time to talk.

"I almost couldn't get the word 'dad' out of my mouth," she says. "It was the last thing that I expected that a character like Rowan (Joe Morton) would be my dad. I had no idea."

This season, the story of their relationship will be play out in depth. "Olivia has a very complicated relationship with Rowan," Washington says.

Her own childhood is an uncomplicated, all-American story. Born in The Bronx to Earl, a real estate broker and Valerie, a professor and educational consultant, Washington learned that hard work and education were the most important things in life.
"I come froma family with a really strong work ethic — not just my parents, but my aunts, uncles and cousins," she says. "It rubbed off on me. I have a cousin in The Bronx who says I'm like the longshoreman of actors. I am a worker."

Washington's mother, who studied for her doctorate after teaching during the day, was her role model. "She was a hard-working intellectual, and she modeled that for me," Washington says. This example guided Washington when she attended New York's Spence School. "There is a real commitment there to working hard to achieve and to create success however you define it," she says. This summer, Washington gave the commencement speech at her alma mater, George Washington University, and chose to honor her mother in her typically low-key way, by wearing her doctoral robes.

The hard work has paid off, in films like "Ray," where she played Ray Charles' wife; "The Last King of Scotland," as Idi Amin's wife; and "Django Unchained," as Django's wife. As good as films have been to Washington, it's her role as Olivia Pope that put her on magazine covers from Essence and Glamour to Vanity Fair.

"She is totally in her prime," says Betsy Beers," "Scandal" co-executive producer. "She is in such a sweet spot. First of all, because she is the hardest-working person I have ever met, she takes advantage of opportunities that others don't see, and it doesn't hurt that she is literally one of the nicest, kindest people in any field."

That doesn't mean that she is a pushover. Like Olivia Pope, Washington is not afraid to show her displeasure. When I asked her if she thought "Scandal" was colorblind, a position that has been lauded by critics and fans, she bristles.

"There is absolutely a racial element," she says. "There's the moment Olivia says to Fitz that she is feeling a little like Sally Hemmings, that is about race. (Hemmings is the mixed-race slave who reportedly had an affair with President Thomas Jefferson.) There is a moment when a woman has called for Olivia Pope's services, but when Olivia walks into her house accompanied by red-haired Abby, the woman assumes that Abby is the boss because she is white.

"The series addresses the issue in the same way as economics, culture, gender and religion," she says. "It puts race in the spectrum of identity, as opposed to making it the issue of the show."

And Washington is as outraged as her Twitter fans, who were angry this summer that Olivia had been shamed as the president's mistress.

"When people say this show celebrates infidelity, I say, 'No.' It is a show that celebrates real love," she says. "Is it wrong to be with the person you love, or is it worse to marry someone for other reasons? I think the show is really about that question. How important is being in love with someone?"

[Web Series] Waiting... Episode 2

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 02:00 AM PDT


I was so glad we were taking off and finally on our way to our vacation destination. I had had a stressful year with work and every other nonsense I had allowed into my life. I couldn't help but think about Kola and everything he put me through that year. I had met Kola at a friend, Tolu's birthday dinner, about a year and half ago. He was introduced to Tolu through another friend who lived in New York and since Kola was moving to Dallas, Tolu was helping him sort of settle in. We spoke for a bit since we were seated next to each other at the dinner and it was a big table. At the end of the night, he asked for my number and that was the beginning of my romance with him.

Kola was the perfect man, at least my perfect man; He was the definition of tall, dark and handsome. About 6 weeks after we met, he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. It was like a dream come true because I had been led to believe that it was very hard to find a man, especially one you wanted. Everyone said we were the perfect couple, we were beautiful and all of that and of course it felt good. I was 26 with a good job, an incredible man and I had my life together so to speak. He understood me, pampered me and never ceased an opportunity to show me just how much he loved me.

Even though Kola had moved to Dallas, I noticed that he always went to New York once a month for a weekend and would come back Monday nights. He had told me about the restaurant business he invested in and he said he didn't feel right just abandoning it and not checking on it personally since he owned half; He needed to know what his money was paying for. I didn't argue or even feel any kind of way about it until I asked to go with him and he got upset saying that he would be working and didn't want to have to entertain me. I decided not to ask again, it's not like I as if I liked New York to begin with anyways.

It was one of those weekends that Kola went to New York and he had texted me that he was on his flight back to Dallas and I was excited. I hadn't seen him all weekend and I missed him. I had just left the house to go and pick him up from the airport when Tayo called me.
"Yo baby, wazzup?" Tayo was my razz friend and from the way I answered my phone, I could tell she had influenced me more than I admitted.
"Dara abeg where are you?" she said. She wasn't laughing, or clowning or even responding with something razzer so I knew something had to be wrong.
"I'm going to pick up Kola from the airport, what did your boss do now?" Anytime Tayo was sad, it was always her boss. The guy was the biggest asshole in the world.
"Dara, I need you to listen to me, Kola got engaged to his girlfriend of 5 years this Saturday that he was away."
I don't know why I started laughing but it seemed like the only appropriate response to such an accusation. "What do you mean my Kola got engaged?"

Tayo then went into detail about how her friend in NY posted a picture of Kola and his newly engaged girlfriend on Facebook congratulating them. She called the so called friend pretending to jist and catch up and eventually asked about the couple. The friend told Tayo that Kola and his girlfriend had been together for 5 years and that when he moved to Dallas, she was scared that the relationship won't work but that he came to NY every month to see her and stayed committed to the relationship.
That was all Tayo wanted to hear before she called me so she made up some excuse to get off the phone and called me.
"Dara can you hear me, please go back home now, I'm coming over."
"No, please not tonight. Can you come tomorrow instead, this needs to sink in" I pleaded.
"Are you sure, Dara please don't do anything crazy oh"
"I won't I promise Tayo, I just need some time" I hurriedly got off the phone as I was nearing the airport. I don't know why I was there, I should be heading home not here picking up a man who lied and betrayed me. Kola called my phone and I didn't know whether to answer or not. I picked up the phone without a plan in mind, what was I going to do? What will I say to him if I see him? I didn't know the answer to these questions so I just went ahead and picked him up.

He would usually take over driving when I picked him up but this time I needed the distraction of the road to stop me from staring and giving myself away. I didn't know what I was going to do just yet. He entered the car, kissed me and strapped on his seat belt.
"You smell good babe, is it that new perfume?"
I smiled and nodded.
We drove back to my place since he would usually spend the night after he was gone for the weekend. I had cooked for this man, made rice with efo riro and plantain for dinner even bought a nice bottle of wine. I had missed him a lot that weekend because I went to a wedding and he wasn't there with me.

He ate, we watched some TV and he told me about his weekend obviously eliminating the part where he proposed to his girlfriend. It was bedtime; we cleaned up together, walked my dog together and got ready for bed together. We had sex, showered and had more sex. It was as if my body hadn't registered what my mind knew because I still wanted him bad. I lay in bed in his arms because I couldn't understand what I was feeling. Why was I so calm even on the inside, I really didn't get it.
