E! News just reported that Terrence ‘Baby Wipes’ Howard is dating Kim Kardashian.
nevermind. i guess you caught this already. =)
Here’s one thing for sure: you won’t see Naialah on Nancy Grace. She’s got the attractiveness, gender and class thing, but unfortunately…

Re: Nailah. This is so awful and thank you for posting about it. I went to school with her sister. I hope she turns up okay and unharmed.
I cringe when I hear of a woman going missing. It can happen to any of us and given the media’s reluctance to broadcast black and Latina women - I know that finding me or a loved one will become that much harder should something happen. Very sad. I’ll say a prayer for Nailah that she returns safely.
There’s a great blog that a woman started to track missing black women and girls:
The numbers are staggering and heartbreaking.
she’s on CNN.com right now:

I wish we had a black version of Nancy Grace. Something that was broadcast everynight. Something a little more sophiticated than her show would be nice, too.
Oprah needs to tack this on to the end of her show. F— Nancy Grace. Oprah’s audience is ginormous. The paranoid white women who comprise Nancy Grace’s audience are probably too frightened to leave their house for fear that a large negro will rape, kill and dismember their bodies (a white male loner profile btw), so even if the people get attention, the audience is no help in finding them.
