Monday Motivation

Elation!!!
Chrissy Teigen & John Legend

Coming off a real tense Election I can honestly state that I'm riding in to this week with plenty of Monday Motivation. Our collective "Happy Place" has been restored.

Four years of abuse by the so called leader of the free world is coming to an end, and like Chrissy Teigen & John Legend seen here celebrating the outcome in West Hollywood, I too am elated.

So let's use that unifying energy to embark on something that makes us happy that we may have subjugated during this rough time ("Yes" we still have a pandemic to deal with, but we also have a new President who is taking it seriously and has already assembled a Pandemic Task Force) Thus that alone should make you feel somewhat better about the situation. 

Me? I've put on those PP's = Pandemic Pounds, and am going on Nutrisystem. That's correct, I am going on a strict meal plan. So your get out there and do something for yourself that will make you feel good about, well, you! 

Monday Motivation at it's finest...Mic Drop!

Twos - Day


Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
Happy Twos -Day! That's correct minions being the random contraption I am, I'm feeling the love of the numeral two twoday. As in two people, couples or two people spending some "quality time" together.

This is most likely because I had some hot, intense "quality time" recently and it's been on my mind ever since. Hey, you can't shake that feeling easily.

So, I have decided to post celebrity twosomes that are eye catching to myself and others. Bask, minions, bask! No need to thank me you can just....

Chrissy Teigen "But It Is, You Idiot"

Chrissy Teigen
Pregnant & Planned Parenthood Supporter 
Props to one Ms. Chrissy Teigen, who by the way is pregnant with her first child by husband John Legend in her support of Planned Parenthood and not backing off from the haters.

Wake up people! Planned Parenthood is about women's health issues, while "yes" they do perform abortions but that is merely a small part of what happens there percentage wise. Oh, and PS, sometimes abortions are performed for the Mother's health and survival FYI.

Also since when is a woman's uterus property of the U.S. Government?

Her is a transcript via E!Online of her Twitter conversation with people who called her out:

"Every time s--t like this happens, john and I immediately make another donation to planned parenthood," she wrote.

She drew many negative and sarcastic responses and got into heated arguments, which carried over into Saturday morning.

"Maybe you should make a donation to the Colorado Springs Police Department," one person wrote.

"it might seem insane, but it's possible to support two things at once. I suggest you do the same," Teigen replied.

"Happy to see you support. Just wanted to make sure you remembered people lost their lives today," another person added.

"I don't need you to check where my feelings and mind are," Teigen responded. "I'm an adult. I'm good. Thank you." 

Then there was some name-calling.

"@chrissyteigen remember how this wasn't about PP? But no need to correct yourself with facts, that doesn't fit your agenda," another user wrote.

"But it is, you idiot," she replied. 

And there was some more naughty language.

"It would be wonderful if you could promote this as quickly as you promoted donating to PP," a user wrote, linking to a crowdfunding page raising money for the family of the police officer who was killed in the shooting.

"Oh f--k off," Teigen said. "Nothing is ever enough for you, is it? How about you donate?"
The unfollows followed.

"Extremely fine with any unfollows," she tweeted. "Would prefer it over your ignorant rants but I'm prepared either way. Nothing I haven't seen before."

And when it got really petty, husband John Legend got involved.

"I am a published author who typed in a hurry. Focus less on gramerical errors and more on @PPFA killing kids," one person wrote, addressing Teigen and another user.

"Gramerical," Teigen joked.

"@chrissyteigen That's an American grammatical error, which means it's actually correct no matter what," Legend replied.

Bend It Like Chrissy & John and donate to Planned Parenthood at:

It's Haunted Hayride Sunday, Scared?!

Haunted Hayride
Can You Spot The Pregnant Supermodel?
Nothing says date night with another couple like Los Angeles's Haunted Hayride! Jeepers Creepers, watch out for the pregnant supermodel! 

What does Chrissy Teigen do after announcing she and John Legend are expecting their first child? Go on a Haunted Hayride with Jessica Alba and Cash Warren and a few other friends of course!

The Haunted Hayride is a popular Southern California attraction that happens every year to celebrate Halloween and as Alba captioned the above photo on her Instagram"We had a fright tonight @lahauntedhayride"

Personally I am concerned about the giant Killer Klown in the background. Pennywise has nothing on his ass, watch out for your baby Chrissy, hey you never know...Boo!

Scare yourself silly and take a ride in the hay at:

Cheyenne Elliott Brings It!

Cheyenne Elliott
Dauman Music/Tarpan Records’ powerhouse new vocalist Cheyenne Elliott debuts on the
Billboard Dance chart at #42 with a bullet this week with “With You”. The hands-in-the-air
club anthem celebrates that special someone who helps us feel alive. While most beats
releasing to dance floors today lean toward Electronic fare, Elliott’s track presents a more
classic, disco vibe. Written by Cheyenne and Lisa Gressett along with Whitney Houston’s
longtime collaborator Narada Michael Walden, “With You” is a fun, upbeat, warm and
inviting song. Narada, named by Billboard as one of the "Top Ten Producers With the
Most Number One Hits", also produced the track. Club remixes are by DJ Jamie Sanchez,
Denny Tsettos with Lenny M. and Giuseppe D., Tunnelmental Experimental Assembly, and
The Booda. “With You – The Remixes” is available on iTunes and all major online music
retailers now from Dauman Music/Tarpan Records.

Cheyenne Elliott hails from a family of musical royalty. Her grandmother is five-time
Grammy Award winner Dionne Warwick. Her cousin is Whitney Houston and uncle is hit
music producer Damon Elliott. Her aunts are Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston. Her
father, David Elliott, is an accomplished musical artist and songwriter. He penned Luther
Vandross’ Grammy Award winning hit, “Here and Now.”

Wow! That's some pedigree! Well let's not keep you waiting here she is Ms. Cheyenne Elliott!

MS: Congratulations on the success of "With You." What I love about the song is normally in dance music the vocals are overshadowed by the music, your vocals on "With You" are not .

CE: No, we made sure that they were very prominent and not too over edited either. A lot of time you have very auto-tuned voices over dance music, we wanted to make it feel very natural but with that dance behind it, which I love!

MS: This is my kind of dance music, I can't handle the other kind.

CE: Right there's too much going on. This is just really raw, my vocals and the dance track. I thought it was a great combination.

MS; Given your background did you come out of the womb singing?

CE: (laughs) Basically, yes. It's a literal thing I have been singing since before I can remember. It's never not been a thing in my life.

MS: How could it not be?

CE: How could it not?

MS: You co-wrote "With You."

CE: Yes, with my Mom ( Lisa Gressett) and Narada Michael Walden. All three of us had a lot of creative input in the song which was awesome!

MS: I've heard your favorite Whitney Houston song is "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."

CE: That song makes me feel great, and I love feel good songs. Everything about that song was just her, it's amazing!

MS: You do see how "With You" relates to that song I assume.

CE: Definitely! There's little hints and sprinkles of  "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" within "With You" which we really tried to incorporate in it.

MS: Rumor has it you are a big Fiona Apple fan.

CE: Oh, I love Fiona Apple, oh my God! "Shadowboxer: is one of my all time favorite songs! If you ever ask me to go see Fiona Apple I will be first in line. She is everything to me!

MS: I know you are all about the positive, and Fiona isn't really negative, but...

CE: Yeah, when people meet me and ask me who my favorite artist is and I say Fiona Apple, they're like: "Huh? Didn't see that one coming" it's like a plot twist. (laughs)

MS: How were you the bartender on "Watch What Happens Live" when you are under age? (laughs)

CE: I was the bartender and I couldn't legally drink yet. It was a lot of fun! Andy Cohen was so warm and welcoming. Really the whole staff at the Bravo Clubhouse were so nice and relaxed. I felt no pressure it was a lot o fun!

MS: Is there a cover of song you would like to do?

CE: Oh, I actually do have a cover of "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran on my fan page that we released recently. I love that song, that is music that I personally love, Ed Sheeran, John Legend, Sam Smith, if you look through my iPod those are the top twenty five recently played.

Cheyenne & Her Grandmother, Dionne Warwick
MS: Give a fond musical memory you have of being with your family.

CE: One fond memory that was fun that we all got to do, Whitney, Myself, My Grandmother, Whitney's Mom, My Cousins, My Dad...the entire family, got together and recorded a song for Tyler Perry's "Daddy's Little Girl." Having a group of people that is your family all in the studio at once is an amazing experience! You're recording a song, and everybody sings and they're amazing, you are overwhelmed by all of these voices coming together. I was really young at the time and I remember closing the song with a little lick, I was just coming into my own vocally and finding out who I was as singer. I remember Whitney being so encouraging, she couldn't believe the progress I had made in 10 years. She heard me and was really inspiring and motivating, I remember her clearly being uplifting and making me feel great about my little solo. That was one of the greatest moments of my life!

Have Cheyenne "With You" at:

SUPPORTING R.KELLY IN ARENAS THIS SPRING


EMBARKING ON LOVE AND WAR HEADLINE TOUR


Now that the age old mystery of what April showers bring beside May Flowers has been solved, acclaimed Braxton, Tamar (Yes, in case you were not aware Toni isn't the only one with vocal chops) - is on the loose extensively touring. Perhaps she will be in your town, or near you either way watch out for her...I mean it...!

Known for powerful and passionate live performances, Tamar Braxton will bring her dynamic and unforgettable show to audiences across North America this spring and summer.

The Grammy Award-nominated singer, songwriter, personality, and television producer is set to be direct support for R&B legend R. Kelly on his upcoming arena jaunt followed by a headline run of her own. She joins Kelly starting April 18 in Montgomery, AL through May 11 in Louisville, KY, while her solo Love and War tour commences May 16 in Miami, FL and culminates in San Francisco, CA on June 23.

Expect to hear and see her Streamline/Epic debut, Love and War, come to life vividly and vibrantly on stage nightly. Her instantly recognizable voice always captivates, while her presence remains invigorating. Idolator has called her live show, "very impressive", while Perez Hilton claims, "her vocals are ON POINT". You'll definitely feel Love and War stage when she rolls through your town.

Right now, Tamar is also compiling ideas for her next forthcoming release and preparing for the nationwide launch of The Real— the syndicated, one-hour daily talk show set to launch nationwide in Fall 2014 on Fox Television Stations and premiering in a second window on BET. Viewers can also catch her on the WE tv hit series Tamar & Vince and Braxton Family Values.

In just the past year, Tamar has solidified herself as one of R&B’s leading divas. Love and War became the #1 R&B album upon debut, selling 400,000 copies since its September release. In support of the record, she performed to packed houses across the U.S. on a 30-city tour supporting John Legend, engaged in a whirlwind European promo run, and even picked up two 2013 Soul Train Awards, after performing at the event in Las Vegas. She also released her very first holiday album, Winter Loversland. On top of it all, she gave birth to her first son, feeling like as she puts it, “I won!”

Yep, It's Her, Again
Love and War hit #2 on the Billboard Top 200 upon release, making for 2013's highest debut from a female R&B artist. Meanwhile, it also topped the Billboard Top R&B Albums Chart and iTunes Top R&B Albums Chart. Press acclaim also showered the release. Vibe described the record as "Emotional and amazing", while ARTISTdirect.com called it "everything a classic R&B record should be and so much more". After gracing the cover of Ebony Magazine, she celebrated the album's release with performances on Good Morning America, Live With Kelly & Michael, and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
