As Vivica A. Fox once said about her breakup with rapper 50 Cent, “I’ve been holdin’ my tongue.  Holdin’ my tongue.”  Similarly, although I’ve often wondered what’s up with Lauryn Hill, I’ve been hush here on Hot Mama Daily regarding the fallen R&B/Rap/Pop music star and fashion plate.  Primarily because with the exception of a few random sightings of a disheveled Hill in a New Jersey bookstore posing with, um, Martha Stewart, and of her wearing what looked like clown makeup and a bright, mix-and-match ensemble during a free concert performance in Brooklyn a couple summers ago, there was nothing new to report. 
That is, …read more

I caught up with “The Cougar“ on TV Land this week.  The reality dating show where an “older woman” (she’s 40) tries to find love amongst a group of twenty-somethings, features sassy actress Vivica A. Fox as the host. In my opinion, it’s in poor taste to label any woman of a certain age a “cougar.”  After all, men who date younger women don’t get called silly names; they get a high-five and a pat on the back.  
Political correctness aside, however, each episode the foxy Fox flaunts her luscious locks.

Besides jeans, the color blue isn’t a staple in my wardrobe.  Shades of royal, navy, and teal, however, are hot for the spring/summer season. And as you can see from the lovely actresses below, blue is a great hue for women of color.

Will you be watching Lil’ Kim flaunt her ballroom dance moves on tonight’s two-hour season premiere of “Dancing with the Stars“?  I certainly will.  In case you haven’t noticed, I watch a lot of television and “Dancing” is another one of my must-see TV guilty pleasures.
The naughty rapper, former prison inmate, and poster child for bad plastic surgery, however, seems like an unlikely casting choice for the series which has featured less scandalous women of color including singer Toni Braxton, ex-Spice Girl Mel B, and actress Vivica A. Fox.  Despite Kim’s checkered past, I hope the petite dynamo excels in …read more

This morning I went to the Heart Truth Red Dress show.  I got out the door a tad late and was worried I wouldn’t make it in time.  But I should remember that most MB Fashion Week shows run at least 15 minutes late.  So I made it to my seat with time to spare.  The celeb-studded show didn’t disappoint. Some of my reality TV favorites were sitting in the front row: catwalk coach extraordinaire Miss Jay from “America’s Next Top Model” and “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano, who designed a head-turning dress for the show modeled by lovable actress Valerie …read more
