This week on “I’m Sayin’ Radio with Chloé and Steely D” we’re talking about going green- with ourselves, of course. Chloé’s starving herself becoming a vegan and, now that I’m laid-off working on Parlour full-time, I’m hitting the gym at least three times per week. While Chloé is getting in touch with her third eye and Brooklyn’s foliage (read: trees) by eating abnormal amounts of beans and rice…I’m just trying to exercise the pain away and make sure I start myself on an active path that’ll carry me through my metabolism slowing down. We aren’t 30 years old yet, but it’s coming.

It’s a battle for our health! Listen in on how we’re coping, and tips keep us encouraged this Sunday at 1030pm est at www.blogtalkradio.com/im-sayin-radio and call in at (646) 929- 0499 with your questions, comments and beefs.

Can’t wait to hear from you!

I’m not sure but I think that this is Jennifer’s first public sit-down interview since her family trials. Here’s what she said on Op’ today:
.
On performing the “National Anthem” during the Superbowl:
.
“It was too much going on for me to take it in, I zoned out.”
.
“To me the biggest notes and longest notes are the easiest notes…I’m just glad I made it to the end of the song.”
.
On Whitney Houston introducing her at the Grammy’s as well as presenting her award:
.
“I used to create duets with Whitney Houston’s records. I would stand in the mirror and practice my Grammy speech. [Whitney presenting me with my award] It almost surpassed winning Grammy to me- seeing her and her presenting it to me was amazing.”

On where she’s keeping her Grammy and Oscar award trophies:

“I have a piano room in my house [they're right next to] a picture of me and my dog Oscar. I [also] have a dog named Grammy and Dream- actually Dreamgirl.”

On her fiance David:

“He’s good, he’s working and making plans for us.”

On how she’s coping with everything including familial tragedy:

“I’m good, just glad to be back to work, doing what I love to do, it’s like therapy. I’m in a good place.”

Then she belted out her newest single: “If This Isn’t Love”- I think I like this song…The video and a photo of Jenn and her fiance, David, after the jump. (more…)

DMV!!! Here’s Raheem DeVaughn and Tabi Bonney in NYC, where Tabi debuted his new video for “Rich Kids this week. His LP “Dope Meet Fresh Fresh Meet Superstar” is out now and you can cop it in this link!

LOL! (just in case this is you…)

So, according to the UK newspaper, the Telegraph, in a recession, fashion companies will return to using primarily blonde haired, blue-eyed models because people “like to play it safe” in a down economy. So black models aren’t safe? Wait, so me walking down the street or a catwalk or into McDonald’s scares mainstream America? Word? I’m going to stop there.

Will The Credit Crunch Mean Fewer Black Models?

Note to all Parlouristas:

All ankle shackles and handcuffs do not share the same key. Make sure you know where the keys to your sweetheart’s ankle shackles are before you put them on.
