5 Red Flag Remarks Made By Women August 11, 2008

I get asked all the time, “Fly Guy, how do you know if she’s the one?” And while I do my best to address this newfound enthusiasm from some of my male readers, the real question that I wish they would ask is, “How do I know if she’s not the one?”

Now that is a much more compelling question. And although I can’t provide a complete response, what I can do is offer a clearer picture of who she may be with the following “5 Red Flag Remarks Made by Women.”

1. “Oh you did? Well I ………?”
A very telling red flag remark comes in the form of what I like to call “one-ups-manship.” This is where your woman feels the need to follow up every joke, career achievement, or personal tragedy with her own story. It’s a clear-cut sign that she’s insecure, and may not be a keeper after all. Besides, who wants to have the girlfriend that gets on everybody’s nerves because she won’t shut up? All of your friends think she’s a show off, and they probably liked it better when your only form of female companionship consisted of some soft music and the Cinemax channel after dark.

2. “We don’t like that.”
At first you thought it was kind of cute, but your woman has made a nasty habit out of speaking for the both of you. The funny thing is that it came out of nowhere. At one point, things seemed to be fine between the two of you. But before you knew it, you could no longer order a Big Mac from McDonald’s since “we don’t like the sauce.” That’s bullsh**. You love that sauce. And the fact that she’s trying to merge your thoughts and desires with hers makes this a deeper hue than red. This flag is maroon.

3. “Who was she?”
There’s nothing wrong with injecting a healthy dose of jealousy within your relationship. In fact, I encourage it. But I strongly caution against ignoring the early warning signs of an overly jealous woman. From listening to your phone conversations to openly questioning how the clerk from the cleaners knew you preferred light over heavy starch, everything about her is screaming red flag. Don’t simply dismiss it as her just being curious … in fact; she may be the fatal attraction you always dreaded falling for.

4. “I’m all you need.”
You can usually find this red flag in the back pocket of a woman who has no female friends. The flag may initially go unnoticed until she asks you to drop your friends too. Once this happens, pat her down. I’m sure you’ll discover the hidden red flag. Once you pull it out, leave while you can before she starts asking questions like, “You told your mom about your promotion before me? I just assumed you would tell me everything first.”

5. “I’ve been trying to reach you all day”
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with staying in touch with your significant other throughout the day. But your lady … well, let’s just say she takes things to a disturbingly psychotic level when you suddenly become unavailable. Remember the time you put your phone on silent just so you could watch the Terrence Trent Darby “Behind the Music” special in peace? And do you also remember the 13 missed calls, 8 voicemail messages, and 7 texts that were waiting for you once you reconnected with the outside world? Well those missed calls and messages weren’t just a sign of her concern. Instead they were a cleverly disguised package just begging to be opened. What was inside? Why a red flag of course.

The Fly Conclusion: Now that I’ve shared my “5 Red Flag Remarks Made by Women,” it’s time for me to hear from you. Have you ever been guilty of any of those offenses? If so, what prompted your actions? Or did you even realize what was happening?

On the flip side, if you’ve ever dated a woman guilty of a red flag remark, how did you handle the situation? Did you quickly cut your loses, or did you stick around until things spiraled out of control? I want to hear from you.

Rick Ross a deadbeat dad?; Dre’s daughter’s film; Mendes ad; Braxton’s dancing rumor; Yung Berg arrested August 11, 2008

A woman claiming to be the mother of Rick Ross’ two-year-old son is attempting to establish paternity and collect additional child support from the rapper. TMZ.com reports that the lawsuit comes from Tiallondra Nicole Kemp, mother of William Leonard Roberts, III. Ross’ camp says he already pays support for the toddler, including medical bills.  Ross’s attorney Allan Zamren says, “Mr. Roberts (Ross) is an excellent person and an outstanding member in his community. I’ve known him for quite some time and it’s a pleasure to represent him.”

 

       *A documentary that follows the efforts of Dr. Dre’s daughter to break into hip hop despite her father’s wishes is currently available for $5.99 per download at http://www.tmmediagroup.com/. In “Daddy’s Shadow,” 23-year-old Manaj claims her father has never offered support for her rap aspirations, and has been against her efforts since she signed her label deal in 2006.  The documentary was originally scheduled for release that same year, but was delayed when Dr. Dre allegedly stopped speaking to Manaj, due to the film’s content.       

       *The banned Calvin Klein ad featuring Eva Mendes has been banned again, this time from the folks at YouTube. The commercial, which features the actress writhing around topless, was deemed too steamy for U.S. TV. The clip, however, became available on YouTube and quickly drew thousands of hits. But the video has now been removed from the Web site as well after higher-ups deemed it unsuitable. A statement from the site reads: “It has been removed due to terms of use violation.”       

      *Toni Braxton, rumored to be joining “Dancing with the Stars” next season, reportedly took the spot that once belonged to 82-year-old actress Cloris Leachman. TMZ.com says producers were looking to fill the show’s “disability” slot, occupied in the past by Heather Mills (one leg) and Marlee Matlin (deaf).  “They figured [Leachman's] age would fit the bill — until they got Toni Braxton, who has a heart condition, to sign on. That’s when they put Cloris’ dancing shoes … six feet under,” TMZ stated. The official cast will be announced on Aug. 25 on ‘Good Morning America.”

 

       *Rapper Yung Berg, 21, was arrested in New York City over the weekend and charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of marijuana and menacing. Sources tell TMZ.com that a limo driver reported a dispute with five passengers and police ended up arresting the artist and his friends. Berg, whose real name is Christian Ward, is featured in the Ray-J song “Sexy Can I.”

ICE CUBE REALLY WANTS THE ‘A TEAM’ GIG: Rapper says he’s ’so ready to play B.A. Baracus’ August 11, 2008

Ice Cube told the Los Angeles Times that he’s still hoping to play Mr. T’s famous TV role in director John Singleton’s upcoming film version of “The A Team.”       

       He said: “Man, I am so ready to play ‘B.A.’ Baracus. I was a big, big Mr. T fan. I mean, c’mon, Clubber Lang [in “Rocky III”) was amazing. I even watched his Saturday morning show, but that was cheesy. I was like everybody else, I watched it for about six weeks and said, ‘Man this isn’t any good.’ But the ‘A-Team,’ I would love for this to happen.”      

       The rapper-actor-producer said he’s already been talking to Singleton about the role.        

       “It’s the thing we’ve been talking about lately, the thing on the other side of the strike or no-strike. I think it could be great,” Cube said. “I always look at how they did ‘Mission: Impossible’ and even how they upgraded ‘Batman’ from what it was not that long ago. The key is the story and the director.”

       “If there was going to be another ‘duet’ with Dad, I felt it should be something more whimsical, fun and light,” Cole said in her bio. “At the same time, I was looking for a song that would also be familiar to a certain type of audience. I think this is going to work just as well. It’s adorable and loving between parent and child. It feels like he’s right there with me. How do you top that?”

MURDER CHARGES FOR SUSPECT AT LIL’ KIM B-DAY: Syed Rahman allegedly killed victim for refusing his advances August 11, 2008

The harrowing final moments of the 24-year-old woman who was beaten to death at a New York night club during Lil Kim’s birthday party were revealed in court Friday during the suspect’s arraignment.

 

       Syed Rahman, also 24, was charged Thursday with second-degree murder, which carries a sentence of life in prison if convicted. He’s due back in court on Wednesday (Aug. 13).

 

       Rahman, who had worked at the club for four years and had no previous criminal record, confessed to smashing Ingrid Rivera over the head at about 2:45 a.m. Monday during the Lil’ Kim event that the victim had paid to attend, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. Rivera’s body was discovered Wednesday afternoon stuffed inside of a utility room on the club’s roof.

 

       The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide Thursday after an autopsy found that Rivera died from a “blunt impact trauma” to the head and that “incised wounds to the neck” cut her carotid artery.

 

      Police said Rivera was a Lil’ Kim fan who arrived at the Spotlight Live club around 9:30 p.m. with a bouquet she had hoped to give to the rapper. During the evening, she and her friend spoke with Rahman while drinking at the bar.

 

       Later in the evening, Rivera was kicked out of the club for accidentally entering the men’s rest room, police said. Rivera’s friend said that around the same time, Rahman lured her to the roof by claiming Rivera was there. When the friend rebuffed the suspect, he located the victim outside and “told her he could get her back in,” Kelly said.      

       He took Rivera in through the employee entrance, then up to the roof in a service elevator, police said. Once there, he beat her inside a utility shed, killing her instantly, police said. The man left the club at around 3 a.m., even though he was scheduled to work until 5 a.m., and went to Central Park and slept for a few hours, police said.      

       Police said that after Rivera’s mother reported her missing on Tuesday, officers went to the club on Wednesday to examine security videotape and conduct a floor-by-floor search of the five-story building. After they left, a repairman doing work at the club stumbled upon Rivera’s body tucked away in the utility shed.      

       Officers tracked down Rahman on Wednesday at an upper Manhattan apartment he shares with his parents.      

       Rivera was the only daughter of Ingrid Estrada, a customer service agent at John F. Kennedy International Airport for British Airways.  Five of Rivera’s family members were at Friday’s arraignment for Rahman, “crying profusely,” according to TMZ.com.

 

       The club issued a statement expressing its condolences to Rivera’s family. “We are shocked by this terrible tragedy and our hearts go out to Ingrid Rivera’s family and friends. We are grateful to the New York Police Department for arresting a suspect in this crime. We continue to cooperate with police and answer any questions they may have,” the club said.

 

       Lil’ Kim’s spokesman, Ronn Torossian, said in an e-mailed statement that Wednesday night was “the first (she) has heard of this matter.”

JAY-Z STILL WONT CONFIRM MARRIAGE: Latest non-answer comes in new issue of Vibe magazine; plus, rapper in NY’s ‘Summer Streets’ August 11, 2008

For Vibe magazine’s upcoming 15th anniversary issue, editors decided to pose 15 questions to Sean “Jay-Z” Carter – with No. 15 being, after Jay-Z had referred to Beyoncé as a “friend”: “You said your ‘friend,’ but this is your wife. Are you still not willing to confirm?”       

       “That’s ridiculous for me to confirm,” replies Jay-Z. “I don’t have … I’m gonna say, I think that was a ridiculous question. I just think it’s really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself.”      

       Jigga and Beyonce tied the knot in April, but neither spouse has spoken about the nuptials publicly, or even confirmed that a wedding took place.

 

       On the importance of keeping their private lives private, Jay-Z said: “You have to, or you’ll go insane in this type of business. You have to have something that’s sacred to you and the people around you.       

       “I shared so much of my life, my childhood, and my family, the death of my nephew with the world. I should have something to hold on to. You need something for your sanity … to say, Okay, I could chill out, and this is it.”       

       What Jay-Z does say is that he’s currently in a stable, committed relationship – which he considers “part of maturing, right? You have the right people around you, and if that person around you is your friend, then you just wanna carry it like that. You get to a point when you could let people into your circle, and that’s it.”

 

      In other Jay-Z news, the rap mogul teamed with New York’s mayor Michael Bloomberg to launch the Summer Streets program, an effort designed to transform local streets into recreation filled, car-free zones.

 

       Summer Streets was held from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday (August 9) on nearly seven miles of Manhattan streets, from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park along Lafayette Street, 4th Avenue, Park Avenue and 72nd Street.

ERIC BENET PLAYS ALBUM FOR ESSENCE STAFF: Singer serenades ladies with a cappella of new song ‘Chocolate Legs’ August 11, 2008

Moments before a 5.4 magnitude earthquake hit the Los Angeles Area on July 29th, singer Eric Benet was trying to make a few waves of his own some 3000 miles away inside the Manhattan offices of Essence magazine.       

       Veteran columnist Liz Smith was with the singer while he promoted his new “Love & Life” CD to a roomful of female journalists at the magazine. The set included an a cappella version of his new song, “Chocolate Legs.” Smith said he “wowed” his audience of about 20 or so women, but the love fest stopped once he got wind of the earthquake in Los Angeles, where he lives with his 16-year-old daughter, India.       

        After learning that she was okay, (“Oh, Daddy, it was no big deal!” India reportedly told him), he “returned to seduction mode,” wrote Smith in a recent column. “The Essence ladies were even more impressed. Sex appeal and the right priorities!”      

       Smith continued: “Earlier in the day at E. 38th Street’s El Rio Grande I’d had lunch with Eric and his ladylove Manuela Testolini. (She used to be married to Prince!) I first met Eric a couple of years ago, in the immediate wake of his highly publicized break-up with Halle Berry. He was singularly concerned about the effect of any negative publicity on his daughter. (India’s mother was killed in a car accident.) He spoke well of Miss Berry, and still does. I had a strong feeling, on that initial encounter, that there was another side to the Benet/Berry story — his side. But Eric wouldn’t go there. Now, that drama is behind him. (And also behind Halle; she’s blissful with her new love and baby.) Eric and Manuela, survivors of high-profile spouses, have great chemistry. She is a businesswoman/philanthropist and admirably grounded. She and Eric have been together about a year-and-a-half. ‘I’m in a good place now,’ Eric said. Then we all had a lively debate on whether or not Eric should shave his scruff of facial hair and just how much skin to show in his coming video. Manuela and I decided less is better. I asked him what he’d like to do next? ‘Well, touring for this one, of course. And I want to do an album of R&B classics, a collection of great American pop standards — Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart, like that. And I want to do a Christmas album. The problem is,’ and Benet gave out a big laugh, ‘I want to do it all in the next three months!’”

LISARAYE BACK IN THE MANSION FOR GOOD?: She’s reportedly called off the divorce from Misick and has moved back in August 11, 2008

The New York Post is reporting that actress LisaRaye has moved back into the mansion she shares with Turks and Caicos Premier Michael Misick, despite reports that she was planning to file for divorce amid infidelity rumors.

 

      Last week, a rep for the actress released a statement suggesting that Misick has been cheating with Rocsi from BET’s “106 & Park,” and was spotted “canoodling” with the VJ at a recent music event on the island while LisaRaye was visiting the U.S.

 

       LisaRaye was reportedly furious and had offered to share her story with EUR’s Lee Bailey, as well as the nationally-syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show, but both interviews were cancelled by her rep.

 

      Now, she’s reportedly back on the island and back inside of the mansion, reports Page Six.

 

       “It’s not that she would miss him, she would miss her position,” said a source for the column. “She’s grown accustomed to the lifestyle – the gifts, the cars, the status.”       

       Since becoming married in 2006, Misick has been accused of raping one of LisaRaye’s friends, a claim he denied; and the actress has been linked to former NBA star Gary Payton, according to Page Six.

BERNIE MAC’S FINAL MOMENTS: Sister-in-law says family was at bedside; funeral scheduled for Friday, friends release statements August 11, 2008

A sister-in-law to late comedian Bernie Mac has opened up to People magazine about the entertainer’s final moments at the hospital with his wife, Rhonda, and their 30-year-old daughter, Je’Niece.

 

      “He opened his eyes on his own and looked at Rhonda. She called his name, and he opened his eyes and nodded to her,” said Rhonda’s younger sister, Mary Ann Grossett. “She smiled at him and told him, ‘Don’t leave me … ‘I’m waiting for you to come back.’ He shrugged his shoulders, and she said that’s when she knew he was tired. He signaled to her that his body was tired.”

 

      Mac, Grossett revealed, was hospitalized in Chicago on July 24, eight days before the date announced by his publicist. He was diagnosed with pneumonia and immediately placed on a ventilator. He died at 2 a.m. on Saturday.

 

      The night before, “He struggled for his life. He couldn’t breathe,” said Grossett. The next day, doctors “were working on him. They tried to resuscitate him two times. One time he came back for about an hour. Then he went into cardiac arrest the second time.”

 

      Grossett said the last communication between Mac and Rhonda took place on July 31, one week after he was admitted to the hospital. “He told his wife [non-verbally] that he could breathe on his own, and he wanted the ventilator out. He motioned that he wanted it out,” says Grossett.

 

      Additionally, Grossett says Mac’s inflammatory lung disease contributed to his death. “He had sarcoidosis, but it was in remission,” she says. “But because he had it, his immune system was compromised. He had an infection … He was on a new medication that suppresses the immune system, and that’s where the pneumonia came from.”       

      She says that doctors kept Mac sedated, although he was conscious at times and he contracted a second strain of pneumonia while in the hospital.       

      Of her widowed sibling Rhonda, Grossett says, “She’s devastated. However, she’s at peace about his transition because of her faith in God. Her faith is what is sustaining her.”       

      A funeral for Mac is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 15, at an undisclosed location. The family requests that donations be made to the Bernie Mac Foundation for Sarcoidosis, 40 E. Ninth St., Suite 601, Chicago IL 60605.       

      Community activist Najee Ali says a candlelight vigil for Mac, as well as Isaac Hayes, will be held at 6 p.m. tonight in Los Angeles at 5th Street Dicks coffeehouse in Leimert Park (4305 Degnan Blvd.)

 

      Some of Mac’s celebrity friends, co-stars and professional associates have issued statements expressing condolences and sharing memories of the comedian:      

 

 

• Samuel L. Jackson, his co-star in the upcoming film “Soul Men,” says:  “It goes without saying that Bernie was one of the preeminent comedians of our generation. He was also an attentive husband, a great father and loving grandfather. I feel blessed to have shared years of friendship with Bernie Mac, and I’m honored to have finally co-starred with him in what I consider to be his finest cinematic acting achievement. My sincere prayer is that his family will be comforted by the warmth of love from all of us who knew and respected this man.”

 

• Don Cheadle, who starred with Mac in 2001’s “Ocean’s Eleven” and its two sequels, says: “This is a very sad day for many of us who knew and loved Bernie. He brought so much joy to so many. He will be missed, but heaven just got funnier.”

 

• George Clooney, fellow co-star in “Ocean’s” franchise: “The world just got a little less funny. He will be missed dearly.”

 

• Brad Pitt, fellow “Ocean’s” colleague, says: “I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.”

 

• Chris Rock: “Bernie Mac was one of the best and funniest comedians to ever live, but that was the second best thing he did. Bernie was one of the greatest friends a person could have. Losing him is like losing 12 people because he absolutely filled up any room he was in. I’m gonna miss the Mac Man.”

 

• Cedric the Entertainer: “It’s hard to put into words just how I feel and what a painful loss this is. Bernie was a brother, a friend and one of the comic masters of our time. Sharing the marquee with him during the phenomenon of the Kings of Comedy tour bonded us like family, and created a unique moment in comic history marking some of the most meaningful, memorable and fun times of our lives. His comedic approach was his own brand and will definitely stand the test of time. The level of his talent always inspired me and other comedians to ‘bring their A-game.’ I promise you that you never wanted to be the guy who had to follow Bernie’s set! As a husband and father, he was THE MAN and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will truly be missed, but so well remembered.”

 

• Niecy Nash, who played Mac’s sister on ‘The Bernie Mac Show,’ recalls his knack for making fellow actors feel at home on the set. “When I showed up to work, he said something to me that had never been said to me on a set before. He said, ‘Baby girl, the script here is not the Bible. Do you, and I’ll follow. I got mine, you get yours.’ When he said that, I knew everything was going to be all right. I was happy to have the freedom to make up some funny with him. It was simply delicious. My working experiences with Bernie were so amazing, that from that point on, I wouldn’t have cared if he called me in the middle of the night to come and be in a scene where I didn’t have anything to do but sit in the background and eat cereal. I would’ve just done it because I loved him like that.”

 

• Jenifer Lewis: “Bernie’s style of comedy was bold, courageous and revolutionary—I never knew anyone who loved to be funny as much as Bernie. He will most definitely be very missed.”

 

• George Lopez: “He was one of those comics that was unique because of his approach, his look, his voice [and] the content of his material. Bernie fell into that category of people who were inherently different like when you saw them, you knew they were different and when they spoke, you knew they were different. As comics, we’re all brothers. and I’ll miss him a lot. He was a good friend of mine.”

 

• Luke Wilson, Mac’s costar in ‘Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle,’ told People: “He couldn’t have been a nicer guy. He just seemed like a real family man and just a nice guy on the set, just very kind of normal guy.”

 

• Carl Reiner, “Ocean’s Eleven” costar, says: “It’s a tremendous loss because of his age and the fact that he was such a vital, original human being. When I use the word ‘original’ I really mean it. He was like no other person I knew. He lived his life to the fullest, even when we were on the set of Ocean’s. He had his own little apartment and he cooked and invited people to lunch every day and he had food that was for everybody. He made very exotic things. His conversations were always different than any conversations I had with anyone else. They were very family-oriented; he talked about his wife and children with such love and it’s very hard to believe that he’s not with us anymore.”

 

• Kelly Preston and John Travolta: “We are heartbroken. He will be deeply missed. He was a wonderful, kind and gentle man.”

 

• Fox Broadcasting Company and 20th Century Fox Television, home of “The Bernie Mac Show,” stated: “Bernie Mac was a gifted talent whose comedy came from an authentic and highly personal place. He was a tremendous live performer and a wonderful actor. Fox was proud to be the home of The Bernie Mac Show, and all of us at Fox and 20th Century Fox Television extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, Rhonda, and daughter, JeNiece.”

 

• J.D. Hall, voice over actor who worked with Mac on an episode of Moesha, says: “He was a genuinely funny and nice guy. I say this because prior to working with him on the show, I had no knowledge of who he was and how well known of a comedian he was. But, unlike a lot of people at his level, he was very friendly, down to earth and accommodating. When our paths accidentally crossed about a week later at LAX airport, he greeted me as if I had been a life-long friend and I could feel the genuine warmth and sincerity of that greeting. May God have mercy on his soul.”

 

• Irene Mama Stokes: Bernie Mac will be remembered. I met him on the set of Bébé’s Kids, his words of encouragement helped me to continue to pursue my career in comedy. His comedy had an impact on our community and the world. He will truely be missed.”            

 

 

• African American Film Critics Association’s Wilson Morales: “Bernie Mac had the ability to effortlessly make people laugh. He was an incredible talent with whom my colleagues and I in AAFCA always looked forward to covering. Bernie had a big heart and he will certainly be missed by the members of our organization.”

SOLANGE KNOWLES IS NOTHING LIKE SISTER BEYONCE’ August 11, 2008

As Solange’s album release date nears, she is doing the best she can to promote the differences between her and Beyonce. She’s a rebel..her sister is not. Check out her recent interview with Blender:

…It’s Friday night at 11 P.M. What are you doing?
I’m either at home with my son or out drinking some Coronas and adding to my beer belly.

Where do you drink your Coronas?
Dive bars. Two doors down from here there’s a little joint that’s full of old rednecks. I go in there, drop $10 in the jukebox, play nothing but Marvin and Prince and just get wasted. The rednecks are like, “What the
fcuk?”

What kind of drunk are you?
I am a Miss-Tina’s-in-the-back-of-my-head kind of drunk.

You mean, your mom. What is she saying?
“Girl, you better have some panties on!” My mom’s so reserved-last year, for my 21st birthday, she was like, “You can have one glass of champagne, and that’s it.” I said, “First of all, I haven’t lived with you since I was 17. Second, I’m divorced. And third, I have a kid. I am drinking tonight.”

If we drug-tested you, what would we find?
I’ve got a song called “Champagne Chronic Nightcap.” That’s about as wild as it gets for me-that and the Coronas.

Are you a good girl or a bad girl?
Definitely…um…You know, I was so trained to say a god girl, but I really straddle that line.

Ever doubted your sexual orientation?
You mean like in that Katy Perry song? Negative. I’m strictly dickly.

How about videotaped yourself having sex?
Nope. Ain’t no Solo tapes, y’all.

How would you characterize your taste in sex.
A good girl never kisses and tells. Didn’t I say I straddle that line.

Does Solange need more people? ..I doubt it..
