Suhweeet Sighting: Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union spotted at the Idealbite Green Awards party (http://www.idealbite.com/) handing out the Green Award for best new green product. Fyi - Idealbite is a newsletter company bringing you the "Sassier Side of Green."

Which got me thinking about going green. It is important. In fact, at times, you may save money in the long run by going green. But in these tough economic times, I wonder how "green" people will be getting? Often times, purchasing organic goods are more expensive with minimal immediate benefits. In the long run, it may be better, but most people think in the now, unfortunately when weighing their bank account versus their health.

Corporate Jibberish

Suhweeet Sighting: T.I.

Last night went to almost the most thugged out concert of my life (DMX still takes the cake). An entertaining crowd indeed. Slim from 112 (where the playas dwell) was the opening act. T.I. busted out hits like "Whatever you like", "Swagger like us", "Top back", and "You don't know me." Power 105.1 show - shouts to DJ Self for the interlude between the acts.

Derrick Rose is Sick!

This is so sick I had to post it. I had the pleasure of actually watching a WHOLE Bulls game while I was back in chi-town and I am very impressed with the play of Derrick Rose. He is hands-down the Rookie-of-the-Year for me. OJ Mayo has got nothing on him.

Watch as he breaks Andre's ankles!

Suhweeet Sighting: Kanye West

One of the Suhweeetest Sightings thus far, I got to say! Chi-town Connection.

Suhweeet Sighting: Emeril

Emeril showed you how to make some delicious buttersquash something or other this morning.


Don't ask me, go to http://www.goodmorningamerica.com/ and I challenge you to find the recipe.

Kanye West on ABC News's Good Morning America

Ahh yes, Kanye West on Good Morning America (http://www.goodmorningamerica.com/) this morning and I was fortunate enough to meet him twice!

1st time - a quick introduction, before he went on. Apparently, he's been awake for 40 straight hours, took the redeye in from LAX to NYC this morning and had to perform 2 songs on GMA.

2nd time - post concert, outside the Green Room, even got a pic, but that will be coming later.

The music review is half-hearted for the 1st song he performend, "Heartless," and much better for the second song, "Touch the Sky."

Kanye even seemed to be more comfortable himself performing the older song, more energy and spunk overall. Or, the Redbull kicked in. Whatever the case, it was a pleasure to be there.
