Sanjaya, Sanjaya, Sanjaya. Bloggers can’t get enough of him, he’s gotten all sorts of press because of an acute combination of bad singing and funky hairdos. Sanjaya was already a star for those who choose to Vote For the Worst, but there’s one hair style that propelled him to top story status on celebrity blogs…

Ask Afrobella: Wedding Belle Do’s
I’ve let the Ask Afrobella questions stack up too high. I apologize. Allow me to get back to Afrobella basics. I post this photo with a disclaimer: it took me a LONG time and a lot of back and forth discussion before I decided to post this photo. I don’t aim to be one of…
Afrobella of the Week: Sharon Jones, Super Bad Soul Sista
I got on the Amy Winehouse love parade pretty early, and I’ve listened to Back to Black so many times that I almost feel like I know her. When I see her videos on VH1 Soul, it makes me happy for the Winehouse. And so when Concrete Loop did a feature on her recently, I…
Afrobella of the Week — Grace Jones, The Definition of Fierce
When was the first time you laid eyes on Grace Jones? Come on, you know you remember. Maybe she freaked the bejesus out of you as a child in Conan the Destroyer. Or maybe you remember her as James Bond’s intimidating villainess lover in A View to a Kill— as IF the aging Roger Moore…
Afrobella, Interviewed
Some pretty exciting things have been happening ’round here, and that means increased exposure for Afrobella. This Saturday I was interviewed for an XM Satellite radio program called Cocoa Mode, and it was a fun, interesting chat about Spring beauty and what that means for women of color. I’m hoping to get some audio soon…
Afrobella of the Week: Mahisha Dellinger, Creator of Curls
I’ll probably always be buying and trying new curly hair products, but I’ve found my Holy Grail for now. My hair absolutely craves Curls Milkshake. It leaves my tresses more moisturized and perfectly defined than any other product. After I reviewed a batch of Curls products, I became hooked. Now I’m dying to try the…
Choices of the Heart
There’s a special place in my heart for celebrities who put their families first. We’re always so oversaturated with news and photos of celebrities who are strung out on the crack that is fame, often talentless individuals who do almost anything to be photographed and written about. The tractor beam of the spotlight must be…
Afrobella of the Week — Maddy, The Frog Princess
When I was a little kid, it always bothered me that there were no cartoon characters that really looked like me. Maybe that’s why I loved the Smurfs, the Snorks, and Fraggle Rock so much — the characters were monochrome or multicolored, so I had to rely on gender and personality traits to figure out…
Afrobellas of the Week: Zhané
When Zhané first came out in the early Nineties, I didn’t appreciate them at the time. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Hey Mr. DJ from the beginning. But I didn’t appreciate the fact that here were these two chicks with super-short hair (one with a T.W.A years before I knew what the letters stood…
Afrobella of the Week: Frenchie Davis
By now I’m sure all of you have seen the very NSFW (I repeat, VERY NSFW) photos of klassy-with-a-K American Idol contestant Antonella Barba writhing all over the World War II Memorial. And you’ve probably read some of the blogger debate comparing Antonella Barba’s nude picture scandal to that of season 2 contestant Frenchie Davis….
