Question of the Day: Why Are Successful Black Women Still Single???

Recent studies show that successful Black women are twice as likely to be married by the age of 45 than white women with the same educational background.

Hannah Bruckner, who leads the Center for Research on Inequalities and the Life Course at Yale University, says the disparity can be partly explained by a difference in dating preferences between some black men and women.

“Black men are more likely to marry outside of their race, and black women are more likely to marry outside of their education,” she says.

Bruckner says that is compounded by tough competition for a smaller pool of highly educated black men.

You’ll Never Guess Who Lil Wayne’s New Piece is…

Weezy is continuing his mission to fu*k every girl in the world and has since moved on from Nivea and Lauren to a new side piece. We hear that Lil Wayne has been getting it in with video model Zena Foster. Zena Foster is also the baby mother of Tank’s daughter Zoey, who we are sure wouldn’t approve of this union. Lil Wayne hasn’t knocked Zena up yet but we are sure he’s in the process. We reached out to Zena’s management but of course they have yet to respond…

We wonder why??? In any event, Zena has been commenting about some guy on her Twitter Page and had a recent tweet to Wayne. It could just be a coincidence but knowing Wayne’s mission to soar his royal oats… We’re sure it’s not.

A “Lil Positivity”:Wyclef is about to Enroll at Berklee College in Boston

Grammy winner Wyclef Jean is going to college to further his education.

“I am enrolling in Berklee College in Boston to get my bachelor’s degree inmusic! That’s how important education is to me. I plan to work with Rev. Al Sharpton because that’s how important stressing the importance of education to children is to me,” the musician announced during the Congressional Black Caucus Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington, DC on Saturday.

The former member of the hip-hop collective The Fugees was presented the George Collins Award for Community Service for his work as a Goodwill Ambassador to Haiti.

“I’m also not running for president of Haiti,” Jean emphasized during his speech, before adding: “Though I wish my uncle would.”

The 36-year-old singer/songwriter/producer also recalled attending a CBC Phoenix Awards several years ago and meeting a then unknown man that was a huge fan of his CD, ‘The Carnival.’

“This tall man walked by and told his wife, ‘Michelle, tell him what I have in the car.’ She said, ‘He has ‘The Carnival’ in the car and won’t stop playing it!’ That man is now our President Barack Obama,” he shared.

Jean is slated to release his next solo offering, ‘Music Theory’ later this year.

Quote of the Day: Lloyd Calls Ci-ERROR a “Hollyweird B*tch”

We are not the only ones who think that your girl Ciara is on that Hollyweird steez something tough:

R&B singer LLOYD has cut ties with his high school pal CIARA because he’s convinced finding fame has changed her for the worst. The star befriended the Goodies hitmaker when they were both teenagers living in Atlanta, Georgia but Lloyd admits he has since lost touch with Ciara, hinting her ego has gotten the better of her. Lloyd says, “I don’t f**k with Hollywood b**ches and she’s like one of the chicks that’s just changed along the way with the fame and the money and all of that. “I don’t really get down with her anymore on some real s**t. The truth hurts, but it will set you free. But I wish her all the best.”

Even though no one is really checking for that little Lloyd, he makes some valid points. Get it the fu*k together, CiCi. Don’t let this Hollyweird ~ish get the best of you…

Cocktail has Found her Soulmate and It’s Not Ray-J » Cocktail

Cocktail is going all the way in on this one. She has a new interest and she’s not holding anything back. Cocktail wrote a couple of words on her site about the kind of love she is “licking” for.

Have you ever met someone & instantly you felt connected? People talk about kindred spirits, kismet, fate, soulmates etc

Who is she jonesing after??? Hint: Carpet Cleaner

The one and only GAY-A$$ Aubrey “HO” Day. It seems that Little Mz. Cocktail really has fallen for this love-friendship thing or Whatever they want to call it. Cocktail also went as far as to say…

but I never thought in a million years I would meet someone and just feel myself exhale. I can just be me. No extra sh*t, no fake smiles just exhale. I’m inspired and I feel good.

Maybe Ray-J wasn’t chopping it down enough for Cocktail. Who knows but it’s just pure comedy to us. A singer that can’t survive on her own without stripping and a jump-off that never made it….
