Cissy Houston plans to yoddle for filth in tribute

If you find yourself wondering what is legendary blues/gospel singer and mother of the late Whitney Houston, Cissy, is doing you can find her at the nearest Newark baptist church. Probably somewhere between a garbage dump and funeral parlor, Mother Houston is meticulously going over some scales and coughing out some rasp in preparation for a tribute for the ages in honor of dear Nippy at the upcoming BET Awards.
Behind a book deal and reality show in the works, the legendary house of Houston didn't drag their feet to make the most of a trying time. Now Cissy plans to slide into the spotlight with her best rhinestone cape while hitting her best C-sharp alongside, let BET tell it, "a few top divas".
Wondering who these supposed divas are? Well BET is pretty tight lipped about their identities since the tribute has not officially been announced. But considering the networks history, we'll be lucky if it is Chante Moore and Monifah, oh and Nicki Minaj for the young folk.
Anyway, like many of you, I'll be tuned in on July 1st to see how this tribute comes together. So far, the tributes to The Voice left me a little high and dry. C'mon BET, try to do something right!

It's safe to say that after a 30-plus year career and 30 plus Grammy Awards all led up to the night of the 67th Annual Grammy Awards for the multifaceted Beyonce, as she won the coveted Album of The Year for Cowboy Carter.  Also, having won for Best Country Duo/Group performance for "II Most Wanted" with Miley Cyrus and Best Country Album, this comes on the heels of being completely shut out at the previous Country Music Awards in 2024 with no nominations at all.  Already crowned the most decorated and nominated artist in Grammy's history, these particular wins mark the first time a black woman has won in the country music category since The Pointer Sisters' 1975 song "Fairytale".  In her Album of The Year acceptance speech, Beyoncé noted one important figure in tribute. Linda Martell, a country singer, who in 1969 became the first black woman to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.  Other notable wins were Doechii for Best Rap Album for Alligator...

Guts: A Look at Kierra Sheard-Kelly

So why is who's been in and out of Kierra Sheard's guts a topic of conversation these days?  Kierra, the undisputed gospel darling, daughter of world renowned gospel singer Karen Clark-Sheard and Church of God in Christ presiding bishop J. Drew Sheard, posted a candid picture of herself and her budding family during a visit to Disneyland. The otherwise unassuming social media update was captioned: “#myfamily the joys of being a wife and mother, the whole household has been in my guts! Hooraaaay! 🥰🫠🎉..." Girl, say what?! It was then taken down to a more subdued "saintly" caption moments later.  I can only imagine the pressure one must feel when you have eyes constantly on you. One thing that I have been impressed by Kierra is that through her journey of being a pastor's kid, sharing the challenges of holding onto Christian principles in a secular society, and surviving miscarriages just short of death, Kierra no doubt has shown herself to be a resilient sp...
