Media-Whore D'Oevres



"Eva Longoria sent temperatures soaring yesterday when she took a shower wearing just a tiny orange bikini. The Desperate Housewives actress donned the strapless number as she sailed the Mediterranean with her husband, French basketball star Tony Parker, and friends. The 33-year-old looked in incredible shape as she washed herself down." (Thisislondon)

"Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) will visit Afghanistan and Iraq, accompanied by two potential running mates, according to a source familiar with details of the trip.The overseas trip will give Obama an opportunity to talk at length with Sens. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) and Jack Reed (D-R.I.). The two men have been mentioned as potential running mates because they would bolster the Democratic ticket’s foreign policy and military credentials. Though Hagel, a Vietnam veteran, is a Republican, he has not endorsed Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for president. Hagel is now a leading critic of the Iraq war after voting for it in 2002. Obama aides have spoken glowingly of Hagel, and the retiring senator has said he would consider the Democratic vice-presidential nomination if it was offered." (TheHill)



"Which brings me to why I was actually in N.O.L.A. I was partaking in the most incredible music festival I’ve ever attended, the Essence Music Festival! Imagine tens of thousands of people in the Superdome (yes, the same one from Katrina, these are resilient people) partying to Rihanna, Mary J Blige, Chris Brown, Patti LaBelle (with a LaBelle reunion -- Ms. Patti may have fierce shoes but Nona Hendryx has got a fierce ass!), Jill Scott, Kanye and perennial favorite Frankie Beverly and Maze (they closed the festival and the entire place did the electric slide -- it’s electric boogie woogie woogie!)."
