Congratulations To Tina Turner on her second marriage.

     Congratulations to Tina Turner and Erwin Bach; they tied-the-knot on the 21st of this month in Zurich, Switzerland.  It was a Buddhist wedding of course and the ceremony was held at their home on the banks of Lake Zurich.  Guest included Oprah Winfrey and Gayle.  LOL!  (I know it was other people) The couple has been together for 27 years now and this is Mrs. Tina Turner Bach second marriage.  They met in Germany while he was a music producer at EMI, which was her label at the time.  They went on their honeymoon in Italy.

     You go, girl!  She's 73 and still looking fabulous.  Demi Moore should take some notes; because he's seventeen years her junior and now she got a ring on it. I'm just saying. She looks immensely happy and that's what matters the most. Also she's been living in Switzerland for like 18 years so she renounced her U.S. citizenship for Switzerland.

     Check this site out to see the picture of the dress.  I know you want to see it.  I did. So here it is: http://necolebitchie.com/2013/07/26/tina-turner-gets-glammed-in-green-for-second-wedding/.

     Much love to you all and as always I'm Lady PJ and information is power so be informed.

Be You by Lady PJ

I hear words from your mouth
Do you know how you sound?
Empty... all poured out

I'm not your victim
You can't abuse me as you please
I got my freedom
Boy pay attention
I'm a beast

I'm hot like lead when it's fired
Sharper than the sharpest knife
I can walk on water
Because I got Jesus in my life

I'm not your girl
I'm not your boo
I'm not Jenny from the block
That you do

But I'm on fire
I know you see
Because I'm completely
100 percent me

     I was in a very fun place and decided to write this poem.  I hope you enjoy it.  Much love, Lady PJ.

In The News: Kanye West

“There is a reason for everything!”

Soren Kierkegaard

In The News: Kanye West

Born:  Kanye Omari West

Date: June 8, 1977 (age 36) Atlanta, Ga.

He’s an American hip hop musician, songwriter, record producer, film director, and fashion designer.

     Kanye West, the new father of North West, just can't get a break with the paparazzi.  It’s been reported through the news media that he could face felony charges after an altercation at LAX airport on July 19, 2013 with Independent filmmaker and photographer Daniel Ramos.  Sources are reporting that Ramos is still in the hospital after being put in a headlock by Kanye. 

     I saw the video and clearly Kanye was on edge about something.  He did however inform the photographer not to talk to him ever or to anyone that is with him.  He gave the man a speech about not talking to him ever.  I guess he wasn't playing! 

     This guy kept going on with his questions and in turn a very angry Kanye West turns towards the guy and attempts to grab his camera.  Well, Ramos was not about to let his camera go and in the tussle he fell down but secured his camera.  Way to go Ramos!  I must note that Kanye had his phone in the other hand!  I’m kind of wondering how he managed to hurt the camera man.  Ummmm.  

     After the altercation Kanye left in a waiting car while Ramos reported the event to the police.  The paramedics were called and they rushed to the scene.  It has been reported by sources that Daniel Ramos wants to press charges against Kanye.  Could this be Kanye’s next lawsuit and what happened to the anger management classes?  Am I the only one that’s curious about that?  Just a thought!

     I have to say and I'm really starting to believe this saying, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity.” I have to wonder as a new father is Kanye going to keep going down this destructive path or will he decide to make a change even if it’s for the sake of his child. 

     This is your girl, Lady PJ, as always much love to you and remember information is power so be informed.

R.I.P. Lil Snupe

     Many people have dreams and that’s a wonderful thing.  What if you were getting ready to live your dream at 18 years old but you were stopped by a bullet or two to the chest?  For one second just take the time to think about what you were doing at 18.  Think of all those first things you would have missed.  

     This is the reality that our young rappers face every day.  But most importantly this is what happened to Louisiana resident Lil Snupe (bourn Addarren Ross) on Thursday June 20, 2013 an 18 year old rapper/lyricist signed to Meek Mill’s Dream Chasers record.  Multiple sources are reporting that he was found dead at the scene after attempts to revive him failed.  A life lost before it even had the chance to blossom or to reach his full potential.  We will never know what he might have accomplished in his musical career.

                                                              Tony Holden

     Forty-eight (48) hours after the murder of Lil Snupe warrants were issued for the arrest of 36 year old Winnfied resident Tony Holden.  Holden is a convicted violent felon who is considered armed and dangerous.  The police think that he killed the young rapper over a video game. 

     Are you serious?  That is just so unbelievable to me.  The value of life keeps going down and there’s no end to the stupidity behind the reasons for these senseless murders.
     Sources are saying that Tony Holden is in police custody and has been charged with 1st degree murder, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

     I would love to know what you think about this situation.  This is your girl Lady PJ; information is power so be informed.  I will try to keep you informed as more information is put out.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Fathers Day to all fathers from the team of Indie I Am.  Much love to you all and may you enjoy your special day.

Are Celebrities the new Kings and Queens of America?

How do you feel about the fact that we (Americans) hold celebrities to a higher standard than ourselves?  I say, “Who are we to judge them?”  I mean we all make mistakes; some times daily but we look down on artist like Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, and Kanye West.  We don’t see their accomplishments any more we only see their flaws.  I think that in order to live life to the fullest you have to make some mistakes but hopefully not as bad as Chris Brown’s mistake, or as tactless as Kanye West mistake with the whole awards thing, or as young and dumb as the mistake that Justin Bieber made.  Instead I think we should look at them as life lessons that we all should happily avoid.

     It’s a general rule of thumb to not put your hands on someone else as in to not hit them; the laying of hands and I’m not talking about praying.  Think for a minute, how many of us have broken this rule?  Some times in the heat of the moment, without thought, our judgment is hindered.  We lose ourselves in that very moment to anger (uncontrollable may I say) but are we to be judged by that for the rest of our lives?  Can we not take our punishment and obtain forgiveness?  Rihanna seems to have forgiven Chris Brown, so why can’t we?  One time I say I can give you a pass but twice no way.  Can we not give him a pass this one time; are our hearts that cold that we have not forgiveness within us?  He didn’t hurt me, and he didn’t put his hands on me.  He hit Rihanna and she forgives him so why can’t we do the same?

     Justin Bieber is young and immature but what adult hasn’t been at this point in their life?  He’s doing stupid things that people his age do.  Are they right? Hell no!  I remember driving over a hundred miles an hour in Germany on the Auto Bohn just to see how fast my car would go; I was young and stupid.  It maxed out at 160.  I was so happy until I saw this porch pass me.  Yeah, that killed that excitement.  Let me add that at the time it was legal.  Young adults, Justin age, like to test the waters so to speak just to see what they can get away with.  He’s no different.  I say judge not least ye be judged.  I know you can recall some of the stupid stuff you did when you were his age.  He hasn’t hurt anybody (except for his own professional image), and he definitely hasn’t killed anyone; so why can’t we forgive him?

     I would really like to know the real Kanye West because we really don’t get to see the good stuff.  Most of the time we see him as the Kim Kardashian arm candy slash baby daddy or the bad boy; when he’s done something exceptionally wrong.  He’s an artist that has made some mistakes but we (the onlookers) make artist role models.  I don’t understand that concept.  He’s an artist that creates illusions for us to process for publicity purpose may I add and in fact they work because “look at him he thinks he’s God.” It’s what people say.  No he doesn’t, he just knows what will get people talking and guess what… it works.

     Our society labels people as “stars” and put them on pedestals making them first class citizens.  The new Kings and Queens of the world then we bow down to them gracefully.  So what they make millions; is that a reason to hold them to such a high regard or to put unattainable expectations on these flawed beings?  I think of mankind as an imperfect being and if you’re a human being then you are a flawed being.  There’s not one person that doesn’t make mistakes.  Do you think that Justin Bieber put’s his pants on by jumping into them or one leg at a time, just like the rest of us?  Do you think that Kanye West doesn’t need air to breath just like you or me?  I know sounds stupid right?  I say celebrate their accomplishments, congratulate them even, but stop making them role models for our children.

     I would love to know what you think about my subject today.  As always I’m Lady PJ and information is power, so be informed.
