“So She Messed Up The National Anthem?”

The ReadyWriter

If she wasn’t so busy trying to sound black and soulful, she would do alright.

The 30-year-old, “Burlesque” star, who has sung the National Anthem at many previous sporting events, including Game 7 of last year’s NBA finals, bungled the lyrics at the opening of last night’s super bowl game, causing confusion amongst the crowd and with viewers at home.

In a statement to the Wall Street Journal’s Speakeasy blog, Aguilera said the flub happened because “I lost my place.”

“I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place,” she explained. “I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.”

Her words of explanation were beautiful and maybe even true but it’s important that she be herself., her vocals will flow easier that way.

Nobody’s perfect people.

The ReadyWriter

Cynsible Creations, the proprietor’s name is ‘Cynthia Edwards’ and she’s doing great things!!!! Pictured above is one of her many fleece hats that I ordered/purchased, it’s called the “Valentine Love Polar Fleece“.

<<<—Cynthia is a former native of my hometown Passaic, NJ and our families lived on the same block. Miss Edwards always had a love for sewing and fashion. Her business is a collection of her handmade fashions and crafts.

Cynthia’s motto is “It’s for the Fun, the Funky & the Fashionable.”

Below is another one of her fashion pieces “The Sassy Day Apron” (I like this one)…it’s 100% cotton, distinct and creative. I think the ruffles are cute and the style very flattering.

I love Cynthia’s style and admire her creativity.

You can check out more of Cynthia’s fashions at the ‘Cynsible Creations’ boutique or by clicking here! Cynsible Creations has also been added to the Ceo’s blogroll of favorites.

Let’s applaud Cynthia for being an African American pioneer, in her field of expertise~

While we should always support black businesses, lets especially do so during black history month…

“The NERVE Of Some CEO Readers”

The ReadyWriter

Early in the week I wrote a piece about this being black history month and how it will be acknowledged and celebrated here at the CEO’s blog; yet this morning, we received an online article from loyal reader “Angelhair” about getting rid of the black history month celebration altogether.

Dear Blog Queen,

I’ve been a loyal reader of your blog for the past year or so and since it is customary for you to acknowledge black history month on your blog, you should know that there is talk of getting rid of this celebration for good. Blacks have made contributions throughout history and having just 28 days to acknowledge this is unfair and totally absurd.

Attached for your reading pleasure is an article that was posted online supporting the same.

I feel what you will do here on your blog for the next 28 days or less is extremely unnecessary. After reading my email and the article, I hope you will reconsider. I’m sure your readers will agree.

The Article

Peace

Stories, articles and fan mail are always welcomed to me via email concerning this blog., and if I feel such information is news worthy and worth sharing for discussion I will do so; however, no one will ever tell me what I should or shouldn’t highlight or write about at my own discretion.

This reader had a lot of nerve sending me this email but she seems to think you will agree with her…. please sound off, I’d like to know.

Halle To Gabe: “Thanks For The Donation”

The ReadyWriter

According to RadarOnline, Halle Berry recently fired off a nasty email to her baby daddy, Gabriel Aubry, whom she accuses of hurling racial epithets at her.

“You were only good for one thing….Thanks for the donation,” the Oscar winner allegedly wrote in the poison pen email.

Aubry, 35, and Berry, 44, are locked in a vicious, Hollywood-style custody battle (their daughter Nahla in the middle) with mud-slinging from both sides.

Aubry initiated the public skirmish by petitioning a NY court to name him as the biological father of 2-year-old Nahla Aubry and to grant him joint custody and child support. He cited his inability to effectively co-parent his daughter who travels overseas with her mother to visit Berry’s boyfriend in France and London.

Additionally, Halle claims their daughter is terrified to be alone with her father.

But a source close to Aubry tells RadarOnline that he has never heard Aubry use the ‘N’ word around Halle or their daughter, and can’t imagine him doing so.

The source tells RadarOnline that Halle was the unhinged, abusive one in the relationship who constantly called Aubry “ranting and raving” on the phone.

“I’ll confess that I’ve heard him call her “a fucking bitch” before — when he’s been provoked, but I am talking serious provocation,” said the source.

Aubry has yet to make a public statement in response to Berry’s scandalous accusations. Instead, he defers to his legal teams in Canada and New York.

In the meantime, black women everywhere have taken Aubry’s side in the custody battle. Sistas are leaving messages on blogs and Facebook referring to Halle Berry as “crazy” and “hateful.” Aubry’s tactics seems to be working.

“Why Won’t He Marry Me?”

The ReadyWriter

You cannot make a man marry you, nor can you make him love you., these two, very important instincts should be initiated by the man.

One of these questions came to me via email from a loyal reader:

Tracy I’ve been with this man for over a year and I have been everything he wants and more. I keep myself up and I work out and I look damn good whenever we hit the town and I present myself like a lady. I made it very clear to him that I’m not trying to do this dating thing for too long because I’m not getting any younger and he isn’t either!

He’s 30 and had his time to play around in the streets with the chicks who came before me but now it’s time for him to put a ring on it. I’m about to be 28 and I have a very strict timeline that I’ve told him about and he acted like he was okay with it. I want to be engaged by the time I’m 29 and married by 30 I’ve said it over and over but he hasn’t bought it to the forefront of discussion as a matter of fact he avoids it.

I don’t want to waste my time but he needs to step up to the plate. I have a job, I don’t have kids and not to blow my own horn but I’m physically attractive. He’s educated and got a good job so I don’t understand the hold up. He needs to put a ring on it asap. How do I get this message across to him because I can’t wait much longer. Your advice would be appreciated.

This letter is so simple and easy…The decision to marry has to be initiated by the man, in Proverbs 18:22, it states: “Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing”, your man has to recognize that you’re his good thing!

If he doesn’t, then you have to move on and not waste anymore time in a relationship with him that will not herald the results that you want. And this simply means, that you’re not pressuring him into a decision but you both don’t want the same things.

There are so many other issues I touched on with this reader, who failed to mention one very important thing: LOVE – marriage is serious and should not be ‘entered into’ lightly but should mean for the rest of your life…I wished her luck and advised her to be prayerful.

What do you want to tell her? She’ll be reading your comments below.
