iFREAK: Does your TYPE of PHONE indicate Your # of Partners?

The next time a man asks for your number, you may want to double check what type of phone that he’s using to store it…it will help you find out what type of SMARTPHONE he has, and the number of sexual partners he may have had….

According to a study from OKCupid.com, Women’s Health Magazine reports that the number of sexual partners can be predicted by the TYPE of CELL PHONE one has. So who had the most????

IPhone users! The study found that IPhone users tended to have more sexual partners than blackberry and android phones in the MALE and FEMALE category. IPhone users had an average of 12 sexual partners by age 30, while android users had only 6.

IPhone users seem to be more creative, while blackberry users tend to be more business professional and conservative. What type of phone do you have?

#teamblackberry !!!

Martini's up to all my creative people :)

Baracks Royal Wedding Invitations LOST in the Mail

According to Perez Hilton....... President Barack Obama and the First Lady were not invited to the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate. It is said to take place in front of "ordinary citizens". (Don't you just want to queue up John Legend right now?)

Here's what a St. James Palace spokesman had to say about it:
"The wedding will not be a formal state occasion since Prince William is neither the sovereign nor the heir to the throne."

And here's what a senior courtier had to say about the President's exclusion from the wedding:
"It is certainly not the case that all foreign heads of state will be excluded. The guest list is still being drawn up and could change, but as things stand it's right (to say the Obamas will not be invited)."

Perez ended the post asking should our president be invited to the wedding... The answer is yes. I also wonder if Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed was invited. I mean he talked to him around the time of his engagement...

Things that make you say HMMMM

GoBlackBook: New Social Networking for Urban Professionals

A new Website has been launched designed to introduce African-American business professionals to each other and to the benefits of social networking. GoBlackbook.com is not comparing itself to Facebook or LinkedIn. James Parker, founder and CEO of the Chicago-based tech start-up said that "African-American professionals and entrepreneurs like the idea of a networking site designed with them in mind."

GoBlackbook.com or the "Blackbook" takes social media to the next level by designing a site that has a "some of this" and a "some of that" approach for its members and great ad positioning for advertisers. It apparently is drawing attention. In less than three weeks since its debut, the site says it has signed up nearly 50,000 members.

We all need more opportunities to network... so visit the site today!

Palin in Haiti: Olive Branch, PR Scheme, or "Whor"- ish Activiities?

When I originally found out about Sarah Palin going to Haiti, I wasn’t very impressed. To be specific, my exact tweet was:

Morning rant 1: According to @CNN Sarah Palin now is calling for money for Haiti? What? She is such an attention whore sometimes...

Other commentators also share my skepticism of Palin’s recent trip to Haiti. In an article on TheGrio.com, Sophia Nelson opens the question of whether or not Palin’s trip is a LARGE SCALE attempt to reach out to Black voters. In other words, is this our olive branch between black and white, soccer mom and single mom, conservative and progressive?

We all know that the Republicans are known for a world-class PR campaign to disillusion the American public as they prepare for presidential campaign after presidential campaign and this could well be step 1 in Palin’s. Then again, I am not so sure the Republicans will be backing Palin in 2012… but then again stranger things have happened.

To be honest, this kind of scares me. Haiti is a soft spot for many Black Americans, especially those of Haitian and Caribbean descent. And to see Sarah amongst family on a “humanitarian” trip to Haiti could grasp at the heart strings of some. And to those some I say keep your heart strings strong. I am not saying that Sarah Palin doesn’t care about Haiti. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t care either.

What I am saying is that a strong PR campaign, a “good-natured” trip is not enough to overcome hypocrisy, unresponsiveness, lack of experience, and the like… That’s all I’m saying.. and in case you aren't sure of my position on the trip... I'm still not impressed...

Alicia Keys is DEAD: World AIDS Day

Support local celebrities taking the time to give back to the community

and help keep a child alive

When I first read P. Diddy's statement on twitter about Alicia Keys' being dead, I didn't know how to take it. And now, seeing her in a casket, as is Serena Williams, I still don't know how to take it. The message has shocked me into viewing the cause, but I am not sure if it has encouraged me to donate to it.

Through this initiative, celebrities are taking a break from digital life, and "social media", in order to raise money for AIDS research. If you would like to help bring them back to life, please donate money on http://www.buylife.org/. Other celebs involved include: Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Kim Kardashian, P. Diddy, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Elijah Wood, Serena Williams, Jay Sean and more.

Great cause... so martini's up... The corpse pictures still don't settle right with me though...

What do you think?
