Nelly's 7th Annual Black and White Ball

Nelly hosted his 7th annual Black and White Ball in St. Louis on last night. Grammy Award-winning recording artist Nelly presented Black and White Ball Scholarships to local high school students Jordan Powell and Leticia Goss to Lindenwood University. Each scholarship is a four-year, full-tuition scholarship. Since 2008, this scholarship has been sponsored by Linderwood University and Nelly. After a thorough review of all submitted applications, Powell and Goss were chosen to be 2012-13 award recipients by the Black and White Ball Scholarship Evaluation Committee.  After the award ceremony, the party begins. Shout out to Kyjuan from the St. Lunatics for posting the pics via Instagram! Check the pics below:

Over the last few days, several celebrities have held toy drives in various areas for underprivileged children. It is great to see when people give back to the less fortunate. Nelly, Jennifer Hudson, Trey Songz and TIP all were busy this month giving back!

The Rihrisrrache Love Triangle

Okay now seeeeeee....I try to stay in the "NO Judgement Zone" but Chris Brown is doing the most... Somebody wants to have their cake and eat it too. Now, do not get me wrong, I like both of them. However, I am starting to think their Instagram-fest are for publicity. They are always posting these intriguing/questionable shots.​ After all they have been through, I really want Chris and Rihanna to be happy. I just wish the situation wasn't as messy.

I am all for a woman being with her true love. I personally think Rihanna is one of the most beautiful women in the industry. She has everything (Job, money, beauty and great body) that most women would kill to have. Karrueche's natural beauty is amazing and she's inspiring to be an entrepreneur. However, one thing that is missing from BOTH...self worth. My mom always told me to never settle for a piece of a man (and that's what appears to be happening). Both are too beautiful to share a man with anyone! Know your worth momma! ​ Furthermore, if your true love isn't willing to devote his ALL to you, then maybe that is not true love. No man, that is truly IN LOVE, will make you share him with another woman...no matter how torn his heart maybe. I have traveled this road; the entire thing is a big love triangle that will end with some broken hearts. What do you think?

Did Rihanna Forgive Chris Brown For Enjoying Night Out With His Ex?

Congratulations to Chloe and Halle! They won Radio Disney's Next Big Thing contest! If you have not heard these ladies, they are AMAZING! Last month, I ran across them on Youtube and was completely blown away! Check out their journey here:

You got knocked the.....

So the big  Pacquiao vs. Marquez  boxing fight was last night. It was a well fought fight. Apparently, Pac got knocked out in Round 6. Many people were shocked because he talked a lot of trash before the fight! Today media spoke with Pacquiao after his apparent short nap on the mat. Pac states,"I am fine." Check the knock out below.

And then this happened! lmbo!

A Great Present for Your ExBoyfriend!

I saw this on MSN and had to repost it! These creatures are ugly as fuggggg...... read on from MSN...

"Do not, we repeat, do NOT give these teddy bears to your crying 4-year-old. The snaggletoothed stuffed toys are unlikely candidates to assuage any toddler's fears about monsters under the bed or bogeymen in the closet. The raggedy bears are, however, pretty good candidates for a unique Christmas gift if you're in search of something to simultaneously delight and creep out your coworker. The teddies, featured at "Mrs. McGettrick's Fuggler Emporium" on Etsy, have gone viral with their fake human teeth and eerie stares (and the occasional weapon). Personally, we think the bears are fantastically cool. Just note that if your preschooler does, too, you should probably be a little concerned."

I may send one of these to my ex-boyfriend......

Trey on Wendy Willams

Trey Songz visited Wendy Williams show today to discuss the Chapter V tour, his role in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D and a little of his personal life. He even took the time to stop mid interview and greet a loving fan! Check out the entire interview  below:

 

What's the Tea - December 7, 2012

An autopsy (What is an autopsy?) report has been released on Christopher “Notorious B.I.G” Wallace 15 years after his death. Wallace, who was murder during a drive by shooting in 1997, sustained injuries to his leg, chest, forearm and scrotum.  Wallace was struck a total of four times on Wilshire Blvd, while sitting in the passenger seat of a Chevy Suburban. The autopsy reported stated three of the four shots were not fatal. The fourth and final bullet was the fatal shot. The bullet perforated Wallace colon, liver, heart and upper lobe of his left lung.  The toxicology reports stated Wallace had no traces of drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of his death. I wonder what hip hop would be like if he was still alive?!

This how NOT to be Maravilloso...Chi Omega!!!!

Dozens of girls all dressed up in 'Mexican' attire - ponchos, sombreros and fake mustaches - while holding signs that say "will mow lawn for weed + beer" and "I don't cut grass I smoke it". Apart from being awful jokes, they're inherently racist ones at that, suggesting that the people of Mexico only cut grass and have a habit of drug abuse.

Penn State have issued their own statement: "Due to the discovery of an "offensive" photo by the Penn State Panhellenic Council, one sorority at Penn State is under investigation by the PHC's executive board, according to a statement released by the board." 

Andre Johnson is MARAVILLOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maravilloso Magazine would like to take this time to THANK Texan's WR ANDRE JOHNSON for his incredible act of kindness.  Mr.Johnson went on a 19K shopping spree in Toys R Us for at-risk children.  These charitable Christmas shopping sprees have become an annual tradition for Andre Johnson, who founded his own organization, Johnson's Foundation.
Every year Andre Johnson chooses a group of at-risk kids and give them 80 seconds to fill up their shopping carts with whatever toys they wanted. 

According to HoustonTexans.com the children had an outstanding time:

"Bright blue shopping carts and giddy youngsters whipped through the aisles stocking up on merchandise ranging from Barbie dream houses to digital cameras. Each child was also guaranteed an entertainment system of their choice and two video games."

"You hear a minute and twenty seconds, and you don't think that's a long time, but you'd be surprised by what these kids can put into their buckets," Johnson told HoustonTexans.com. This real warns my heart! Thank you so much Andre Johnson for the chariatble efforts and kind heart! You will be BLESSED!!!

Roll Tide Roll

Congratulations to the South Eastern Conference Champions --- Alabama Crimson Tide!​

A special congrats to Jarrick Williams (#20), A.J. McCarron and Coach Kevin Sigler, all from Mobile, Alabama!

But you really tattooed that on your face?!

Do y'all remember the man with the Romney tattoo? Eric Hartsburg, of Michigan City, Ind, stated that he wanted to make politics fun and show that not all Republicans were rich or elderly (riiiight!). The most interesting thing about this entire story ---> Mitt Romney ignored the infamous face tattoo man. After reaching out to Mitt Romney several times and being ignored, tattoo man wants the symbol removed from his face. 

Now if we can only get Gucci Mane to remove this ice cream cone...
