This Isn’t What I Signed Up For. That’s what’s coming from Singer Mary J. Blige in response to the negative fan reaction she got for her new fast food commercial. Blige signed on as a spokeswoman for Burger King, and in their ad campaign, she is singing about fried chicken. Well, the backlash was heard loud and clear. A lot of people feel that the legendary Queen Of Hip Hop Soul should not be singing about fried chicken. Some felt the ad bordered on buffoonery. The ad was pulled immediately. Burger King says they pulled the ad because of licensing concerns and not the controversy about Blige, who reports say was paid $2 million for her participation in the campaign. The new Burger King ad campaign is going to be huge featuring celebrities such as Jay Leno, David Beckham and Salma Hayek. As for Blige, she says what was put on the air was an unfinished clip and totally different from the concept she was told. Burger King has issued an apology to Bilge and her fans for releasing an ad that created such controversy. The fast food giant hopes to release the final ad soon.
Season 2 of Welcome To Sweetie Pie’s kicks off in March on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN cable channel. I love this show! It’s the story of former Ike & Tina Turner Backup Singer/Dancer Robbie Montgomery, her son Tim Norman, her family and her soul food restaurant in St. Louis. The new season will focus on their new restaurant.
Very simple to prepare, and afterwards will make you slap yo Mama, lol lol

Ron Paul is talking to the framers about selling Raw Milk.To be trueful I never knew you could buy Raw Milk.
Herman Cain is happy to embrace at least one story about him that’s emerged of late: his deep ties to conservative power brokers Charles and David Koch. “I’m proud to know the Koch brothers,” Cain told their Americans for Prosperity group today, reports MSNBC. “I’m very proud to know the Koch brothers.” Then he joked that he had a “breaking news announcement for the media: I am the Koch brothers’ brother from another mother!” Koch made light of a New York Times article that described his and campaign chief Mark Block’s relationship with the Kochs.
But that type of scrutiny probably won’t end soon: The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a related complaint with the FEC today. CREW says a nonprofit group founded by Block—Prosperity USA, which is affiliated with the Kochs’ advocacy group—illegally provided $40,000 in expenses to help start the Cain campaign. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported the allegations earlier this week. The campaign has asked an outside attorney to investigate.

Since many senior discounts are not advertised to the public, our advice to men and women over 55 is to ALWAYSask a sales associate if that store provides a senior discount. That way, you can be sure to get the most bang for you buck.
Talk about funny as hell, and good food to boot. This is your show, not your family entertainment mind you. Strickly adult. The things folks do for a little bit of food is amazing. Answering questions, dancing, haircuts, modeling, kissing, it is a total riot. The Manager Pookie keeps it all together with business and humour. She really is a sweet soul but don’t tell her I told you so. She likes to appear hard core, lol lol. Also seen on TRU TV, I believe tonight is the finale for the 2nd season, do enjoy and let me know you like the show.
