Beyonce turns up the HEAT at her launch party…
Feb 5th
Beyonce turned up the heat yesterday by throwing her first fragrance launch party in Union Square. she looked pretty fierce as well, she wore a sexy red asymmetrical dress and all of her favorite people where there to support her.
The list included of course her husband jay z, sister Solange (the dj) and mother Tina…I don’t recall seeing any pictures of Matthew Knowles, he must be attending to his new baby that was rumored to be born recently… his jump off Alexsandra Wright supposedly had a paternity test done recently after giving birth to her daughter….at least that is what some of the blogs are reporting smh….(in my Maury voice) YOU ARE THE FATHER??
Anyways I digress Michelle Williams of destiny child came through to show her support, i don’t recall seeing any pics of Kelly Rowland, but who knows.
Michelle actually looked fierce to me, her new hair cut looks great on her! it gives her a edgier look, all in all everyone looked like they enjoyed themselves.
Claudette Ortiz talks about Robbie’s “Intervention”
Feb 5th
So if you haven’t heard by now Robbie from the music group city high was on A&E’s intervention show, i watched it when it aired, and it really broke my heart.
I was sad for him as a person and not because he was once a celebrity who had everything and lost it all due to depression and poor decisions. it is sad when anyone becomes addicted to drugs or alcohol, but unfortunately it is all to common in today’s society.
we over indulge on everything from sex to liquor, unfortunately it catches up to a lot of us in the end. no one should be judging Robby because many of us could one day find ourselves in Robby’s shoes. i hope this show helps to wake a lot of people up, you can have it all one minuet and loose it the next #humility!
some of the controversy surrounding the show had to do with remarks he made about Claudette Ortiz. today i was watching city high’s “what would you video” on youtube i read quite a of few comments that were posted, and a lot of people were bashing Claudette and calling her a hoe… O_o umm unless you were there, there is always 2 sides to every story. It’s not my place or anyone else’s to judge her. i think a lot of people have forgotten how young they were. the person you are at 18 is not necessarily the person you will be at 30. I also feel that his alcohol abuse surely played a part in the deterioration of their relationship both personally and professionally.
here is a excerpts from her interview:

On Why She’s Speaking Out:
Initially I wasn’t going to say anything… & I think that stemmed from fear because of the relationship I had with Robbie… it was an abusive one. He portrayed it like it was a “lovely romance” & it wasn’t. I just want to move on & put things behind me. Other people may be in the same position I was in… & if you don’t eventually stand up for yourself it can carry on for the next 12 years… like in my case. It was time to tell the truth… the truth that he so conveniently left out in the intervention.On how she felt after watching the intervention:
I didn’t watch it when it came on but then all this stuff started popping up on the Internet & when I decided that I was going to do this interview I had to watch it… I’m being used a scapegoat for his failure… he didn’t appreciate me, City High… I saw him on there talking about the red carpet… he didn’t appreciate the red carpet… I’m 18 years old living my dream, we were nominated for a Grammy & here is Robbie drunk… drunker than I’ve ever seen, I’m hoping we don’t win because I didn’t think he could control himself if we had to go on stage an accept the award.On how she linked up with Ryan:
Ryan was always a good friend to me… when Robbie & I broke up people were always saying things about me & Ryan would defend me so I was looking at him like he was my hero. It got to the point where I didn’t even want to be alone with Robbie… One time he threw a champagne bottle & again I had to move out of the way to prevent from getting hit. People thought he was going to hurt me because of how he treated me. Ryan was the total opposite… he has a lot of respect for women.On her relationship with Ryan and Robbie:
They weren’t best friends like Robbie likes to try & make it seem… Robbie was my teenage boyfriend & it wasn’t like I just hopped from one to the other… I married Ryan & was with him for 9.5 years. I got with Ryan because Robbie was an alcoholic… & the way he treated me. If I had a man now that had problems with alcoholism but treated me good, I’d stick around & help him through it.On the group’s break up:
I left the group in June 2003… he knows my reasons… he wanted to stay in the group… maybe that’s why he blames me. But if me leaving because I didn’t want to deal with the nightmare anymore is a bad thing, then I’ll take that. I’d been dealing with it since 1998 all the way through to 2003. I don’t know many solid women that can deal with that for so long… I even initially took the blame… I remember doing the Wendy Williams show & accepting all responsibility for the breakup because I didn’t want to talk about the truth… I don’t think he expected me to say anything… but I’m not that little girl anymore. I’m not weak, I’m a grown woman. I have children, got married, divorced… you have to stand up for yourself & that’s what I’m doing.if you missed the show, watch the full episode here….
