KALA…If she isn’t black then I don’t know who is. Her last name proves nothing. Lots of blacks have Spanish last names. I and my son’s father are both proof of that. We are both from the Caribbean. *shrugs*

EZELMO….That is a life you are speaking about. You have absolutely no tact. You shouldn’t even joke about stuff like this.

GRLNVA….Congratulations on your wedding and new baby!!

SHE-RA…I waited 4yrs before I had unprotected sex with my ex-boyfriend. Some of these people just jump into bed too quickly and then want to ask questions later. You are so right in that all that happened is she got pregnant. When I see stuff like this I just can’t believe with the AIDS epidemic that people aren’t being more careful. I just don’t know how I will sleep with someone else at this point. I’m too scared. You just don’t know who you can trust.

@meatloaf,FYI as a matter of fact, they got fixed that same day. My “husband”(which is what I have from not selling myself short) took care of everything. Thats what a union does, husband and wife, we look out for each other. Funny you remembered that. but I did get a little tongue lashing for letting it go that long.

Aside from LaLa being one of the most annoying, loud chicks i’ve ever heard, she looks cute. I’m very surprised because usually she is very weird looking to me. I love her hair and the sweatsuit.

@ 76 lala is a full breed rican and carmello is rican and black…thats ignorant of you to say because of someones skin color they arent there race …did you know there are white africans…dark skinned mexicans…dark arabs…etc Dont let the color fool you …do your research

And dammit, i just went back and read some of these posts. WTF! Some people are saying it’s lala and carmelo’s business to have a baby out of wedlock..well, that’s not all together true cause they are having a baby “another human being.” His/her life is affected by this decision. People always talk about these decisions like the baby is going to stay a baby forever, nope, they grow up and, one day they’ll have questions! I can honestly say the world is just sad cause it seems people aren’t even ATTEMPTING to do things right. Nobody’s perfect, but i wouldn’t intentionally make a decision like that, therefore, i would always, always, always, protect myself.

IF BEE CAME OUT RIGHT NOW AND SAID SHE WAS PREG BY JAY-Z YALL WOULD NOT BE SAYING THIS EVERYBODY WOULD BE HAPPY AND READY TO C THE BABY JUST LEAVE THIS TOPIC ALONE AND CONGRATULATE CUZ U DON;T KNOW WHERE U GONNA BE IN THE FUTURE

What are you guys tripping about so what she’s pregnant. I am pretty sure a lot of you were made out of wedlock or were gunshot marriages.

@81, I would wanna see it.I ain’t even gonna lie.LOL

Okay IMO keyword *my* I don’t look at her and think okay she trapped him or got pregnant on purpose to make sure she will be financially stable if she did he is as much to blame as her. Because, you need sperm to get pregnant, he knew he was a NBA player with money if didn’t want a child then he should’ve strapped up. And if he did and she got pregnant okay then she still didn’t trap him because it wasn’t intentional. Who knows he could’ve done it intentionally. It’s still up to a female to chose whether to be a wife or a baby mama.

Kids do look up to a lot of celebs as role models whether they (celebs) want to be held at those high standards or not. However as a mother or a father you should be your child’s role model. You should teach them about morals and values from jump. So if they see a celeb pregnant, going to jail, fighting at a club etc… on the television or wherever that they wont look at them and think, okay they did it so it must be okay. Because you have installed morals and values from jump they will understand that it wasn’t the right thing to do. There are always exceptions to the rules. (No doubt)

#26 that was so mean what you said. How could you want her to have a miscarriage. that is just a terrible thing, your mother should have fell and miscarried you.

@20 You’re right. As Lala stated in S2S, she’s Puerto Rican and not black.

@49 Amen. Unfortunatley, abt 70% all Black households are headed by single parents. This isn’t a new trend and I don’t see it stopping anytime soon. Its sad to say but it has just become the norm for most of us.

@50 I said this before but the solution is for Black women to start seriously considering men outside their race. Simply put, there aren’t enough good Black men to go around.

Congrats on your marriage @ Grlnva

RASPBERRY…You don’t need any notes. Shyt like this is so elementary. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to get pregnant.

@44, there are a lot of young folks(and older ones) on this spot that have never been taught better. They’re mother probably had them when they were 15 or 16. So, when you have a child raising a child some of the behavior and comments should be expected. I’m not saying everybody, but let’s keep it real. I’m not judging her for her choices, but I respectfully disagree. Money or no money, it’s about family.

Herro, Ra Ra.

@87 thank you. I am really loving it. I chose this man because he was alot like my father, very protective and genuine. He chose me also. I think alot of women gravitate toward men who make them feel secure like their father. Instead of going out with the girls last weekend, we went out together. We had soooo much fun.

You know what Fam…

Sometimes our young ladies are going to get pregnant….

It happens !

As best as we try to raise our daughters, take them to church every sunday, talk to them about love, committment, USING PROTECTION and family values, there will STILL be a possibility that one day our daughter(s) may come through the door and announce “Mommy, Daddy…I’m Pregnant” BEFORE getting married !!!!

I have personally never faced this trying time, but I have plenty of friends that I have, And I Learned from their mistakes…

The WORSE thing to do is to let your daughter think that you are dissapointed in her or that you are disgusted with her…

Compassion is the BEST answer in these situations.

NO one MEANS to get pregnant…It just happens sometimes…..

I watch young girls at my school struggle with the thoughts of telling their parents….

We always counsel them the best way we know how, and we tell them that they should tell their folks..

We hope for the best, and we give them the phone number to planned parenthood….

Normally a few day later, the young girl will come into my office crying because her mother called her a slut or a whore, and is now threatning to throw her out of the house.

And Now comes the conversation about abortion.

Young girls are very immature in the area of Sex, responsibility & consequences….

It would help to be compassionate to people who have babies out of wedlock, because you REALLY don’t know..This could one day be YOUR daugter !

Peace

LOL @ Caff

I think she looks beatiful. I wish her and Carmelo the best. He seems like a wonderful guy.

O.K. @ mika…
It’s ON NOW, IF we ever meet I’m going to PUT IT TO Like NO ONE has ever Done BEFORE (Including Your Husband)
And I CAN KEEP a Secret !!!! SHIT, You TOO DAMN FINE to just have ONE man Enjoying that Good-Ass, Sweet-Ass Gushie Gushie Anyway !!!!!

At #19:
Since when did Beyonce become the epitome of the beauty that black women are judged by? I think Beyonce is pretty in her own way but there are prettier women out there and they are not all celebrities. You pass many of them on the street everyday if you’ll just turn your head and look.

You never would have never noticed Beyonce if she hadn’t been melted and poured on us all.

Also, there are those who don’t think Beyonce is pretty.

As far as Carmelo Anthony marrying Lala. “She ain’t white enough!” He’s going to have a baby with her and then go off and marry the first white woman he comes in contact with.. Don’t they all?

At #31, thanks for schooling #20. Names and races don’t always gel. Ignorance is not always bliss #20.

The key to knowing your race is identifying with the people you look most like. It’s really simple.

Wow, I’m enjoying this discussion.

I usually only read the comments and never post.
However, I applaud GRLNVA SHE-RA and the others who have been bold enough to stand up for what’s “SUPPOSED” to happen in a secure family rather than what’s become widely accepted.
I’m 31 years old single never married no kids and I am not the least bit pressed to hurry up and find me a baby daddy or a money making brotha who can go half on one with me.
Our upbringing is the reason most of us as black women have to fight so hard to keep our poise while falling in and out of love. Most of us have seen are been apart of broken families. All I’m saying is can we please break the damn cycle.
I like La La and she seems like a strong person. All I’m saying is that the fact that she is a public figure does give us the right to hold our own opinions and speak publicly about the way she’s chosen to start her family.
By the way I aint no damn hater. Just a bonified Independent woman whose had to deal with my own feelings about coming from a broken home and searching for Mr. Right. Correction She-ra you were right. His ass is going to have to find me.

By the way Although La La I’m sure could care less where she ranks on my “it’s a damn shame baby mamma list. She is no where near KIM PORTER’s $35,000 a month baby making ass. I know she was two excited to be having twins.

Damn, is everyone on CL married? First Bill, then Mika and now GRLNVA! Am I and “my Boo” the only ones with valid “playa cards on this site”? lol

**flips back to stare at Mika’s avatar!**

I wish she wouldnt wear that pink tracksuit again…not a good look..

I bet she thinking in her head about Fat Joe…”I wish this nigga get his hands off me”(say with teeth tightened)

I know when my sister was preganant she hated when ppl touched her stomach…

Hey Bill. Good Morning yall!

Why can’t people just leave these women the fuck alone?? So they’re married?? AND??????? I’m sure if some of yall talking about Kim anf LaLa could get pregnant by a rich and powerful dude would! And then would sit there quietly counting the money. I am not saying that this is what I would do personally, BUT I wouldn’t bash these women. Let them enjoy being yougn, beautiful, preganant, and whatever.

@archuletachick … Goood Morning to you as well, I’m assuming I’m one of yall !!!
Although JFK Jr. is Cool and Good-Looking ( No Homo Here ) I LIKED YOUR picture Much Better… I’m SURE the “Bruthas of CL” feel the same way !!!

Lala looks better pregnant in my opinion.
NEW USER*Wow this is my first time commenting on CL!

I really don’t care for JFK at all, I mean I’m SURE he’s a nice person and all….I just understand the attraction….whatever (none of my business)

I much RATHER see YOUR EYES…

LMAO @ 90 caff– i love that episode!!! u remember the white pixie? ugh-geddy boog-geddy!!! and the mexican? it’s lee-pord!!!!

ok i know i’m all off subject but that was hilarious.

lala is grown and will chose her own path and i hope she has a healthy pregnancy. as far as single parent homes i would like to think that a single parent male or female can effectively raise a child alone but it is shown to be better if that child grows up with two parents in a loving relationship. in my perfect scenario i would have had my son after i got married but it didn’t happen that way. we really can’t say whether or not lala will or won’t get married at some time to her fiance… its still so early.

Lol at #99 I was like your sister, I hated people to touch my stomach also, and barely let my husband. :*)I let my older children and husband feel the baby kick; other than that, I gritted my teeth also.

HEY YALL REMEMBER WHEN LALA STR8 CUSSED OUT BUCKWILD ON FOL REUNION SHOW FOR THROWING THAT SHOE LOL

Bill Said:

I’m not a hater, but I was heated when I found out that LaLa was pregnant and engaged to Carmello….I love him, he’s fine to me..She really lucked up….and not for nothing she looks good pregnant!

People crack me up how they pick out certain parts of the bible they choose to obide by and expect everyone else to do the same, when they know damn well they dont follow EVERYTHING the bible says not to do. Is one sin bigger than another?? I dont think so… not in gods eyes anyway.
Congrats to La La and Carmelo on the little one!

LOL @ Bill..this is JFK Jr. He’s dead. LOL. I just think he was sooo handsome. Plus he was Irish.

If y’all don’t remember LaLa was engaged to some other guy before before she met Carmelo Anthony. I remember her at the MTV New Years Party talkin about how her long time boyfriend propose to her at the Party. They were engaged for awhile. She didn’t even wait a little to be single she ran straight to Carmelo. Now her and Carmelo have been engaged for a awhile now and still no wedding. Why didn’t the last guy marry her and why won’t Carmelo marry her. It’s not going to last

Hey Archuleta and Bill

Welcome to the loop, jstar87! We’re excited that you found us! Now, start your engine, cause you’re in for one halluva ride! We don’t hold back, but we know when a “beat down” is complete!

I’m into majoy chemistry with the creator, so if you come looking for cyber love, remember, she’s off limits! Her photo is posted in the avatar above Brian’s and Tianna! I can’t tell if jstar87 means male of female, but you can have either one of them…I only have eyes for the designer! hehe!

I do have another little joint that I keep on the side…her name Asbury, but you’ll meet her later! She’s strong and can go all night long! Remember, she and the head coordinator are off limits!

So, you can see I have a lot of pull on CL! If you need anything or you just want to get someone banned…holla at me and I’ll see what I can do! My only advice is…think about what you say until you develop your flow! We can be merciless at times!

Now, I want all you loopers to give jstar87 a big CL “Whatsup”!

OMG…I didn’t even know Ed Bradley had leukemia. That’s so sad…R.I.P.

Nada @ Archuleta…I’m sitting here trying to finish writing my papers. You know how that goes.

Wait Something Fierce..you never had the Reggie Bush avatar did you? That was such mag. right?

JUST IN… 60 MINS REPORTER ED BRADLEY DIED HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST BROADCAST JOURNALIST OF THE CENTURY.

R.I.P

Meatloaf you are a mess..Welcome new guy or gal.

Welcome to the fam JSTAR87! It’s all love! You’re gonna be so addicted.

I know that Chris Rock should not be the authority on marriage and relationships, but I love his comedic style and he said something when he said:

Black women always talking ’bout how they can do this and that on their own, but just because you CAN do it doesn’t mean it’s to be done. You can raise a child on your own but that don’t mean it’s to be done.

I am a product of a single parent home and my mom is AMAZING, GENEROUS, KIND. She made sure that I got my work at school and that I went to college on a full ride. But what she didn’t do was talk to me about boys. I lost my virginity too early to a boy that was more like a daddy to me than a boyfriend. I needed a father to tell me about the games that boys/men play. But my 1st boyfriend taught me how to handle guys. I just wish I had had a father to do that instead.

Moral of the this story, single mothers are definitely doing the damn thing. But in most cases a mama and a daddy is better than one or the other.

AWW. I had no clue he was sick!! RIP ED!

Ed Bradley - Rest in Peace

Ed Bradley (June 22, 1941 – November 9, 2006) was an American journalist who began reporting for CBS News in 1967.

Bradley grew up in a single parent household, and learned the value of hard work from his mother. He attended Cheyney State College, graduating in 1964 with a degree in Education. His first job was teaching sixth grade at the William B. Mann Elementary School in Philadelphia’s Wynnefield community. While he was teaching, he moonlighted at WDAS in Philadelphia, working for free and later, minimum wage. He programmed music, read news, and covered basketball games.

His introduction to news reporting came during the riots in Philadelphia in the 1960s. In 1967, he landed a full-time job at the CBS-owned New York radio station WCBS. In 1971, he moved to Paris, France and was living off of savings. As he ran out of money, he became a stringer for CBS News. He covered the Paris Peace Talks. In 1972, he was transferred to Saigon, to cover the Vietnam War. He spent time in Phnom Penh covering the war in Cambodia. While covering the war, he was injured by a mortar round. He had shrapnel wounds to his back and arm. In 1974, he moved to Washington, D.C. He covered the Carter campaign in 1976 and then became CBS News’ White House correspondent until 1978. From 1978 to 1981, he served as principal correspondent for CBS Reports.

In 1981, he joined the staff of 60 Minutes, when Dan Rather left to replace Walter Cronkite as the anchor of the CBS Evening News. He was the first—and to date only—male correspondent to regularly wear an earring on the show. He had his left ear pierced in 1986 and says he was inspired to do it after receiving encouragement from Liza Minnelli following an interview.

Over the course of his career, Bradley received an Emmy Award, a Peabody Award, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, and the Paul White Award from the Radio and Television News Directors Association.[1] He was married to artist Patricia Blanchett and had homes in Woody Creek, Colorado, and New York City, New York.

On November 9, 2006, Bradley died from leukemia at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. He was 65 years of age.[2]

I USED TO THINK SHE WAS COOL UNTIL SHE STATED THAT SHE WASN’T BLACK, AND SAID IT LIKE JUST THE WORD “BLACK” TASTED LIKE SHIT IN HER MOUTH. SOME OF MY DOMINICAN FRIENDS GET MISTAKEN FOR BLACK OR AT LEAST MIXED. THEY WILL CORRECT YOU, BUT NONE OF THEM SEEM OFFENDED LIKE LALA DID. I SAY REP WHO YOU ARE FOR SURE, BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A BITCH ABOUT IT.

Welcome Jstar87…you in trouble now. CL is too addictive.

Damn!!!!! I love Ed Bradley!!! R.I.P

it looks like shes gonna have a girl. she looks beautiful though. she hasny been on trl in a minute. i think shes like 4 1/2 months.

geez, is marriage first played out???…..the state of the african american family is horrible!!! single parent homes is wuts getting played out…..a child deserves both parents if at all possible, that’s why there’s order….”love, marriage, baby in baby carriage”, something as trivial as a childhood sing-a-long even knows there’s order…..even though they’re financially stable, i hope they find a sincere covenant to each other for the sake of the child…..she does look nice, wuts that age diff???

God Bless Ed Bradley’s family! RIP.

JSTAR87 listen to #126 Meatloaf. But I must say I’m pretty new and I did not get orientation, I’m jealous. But everything she said is true! I’ve finally found my CL swagger. I mean I’m not Bill or MIZZLIZZ or NEWNUBIANEMPRESS but I’m trying to do my thing.

wifey responded:

I don’t even know why I’m dignifying you with a response, but you are ignorant. That’s not even funny. I’m happy for LaLa and Carmelo, although it *would* be nice to see these people get married FIRST, IMHO.

Yes, I realize that I’m woefully old-fashioned for today, but marriage DOES mean something, which is why so many of these high-profile young men dodge it. Marriage says that you will be COMMITTED to one person for the rest of your life (doesn’t a child deserve that kind of commitment from TWO parents?). If adultry was acceptable in marriage, these guys wouldn’t wait so long. They don’t want to commit, so they don’t feel bad for cheating.

Black children have enough problems to deal with without having Baby Daddy/Baby Mama drama.

She’ll be waiting on that wedding though. He’s never going to marry her.

LOL@ all the ppl thinking having a baby for a rich man is hitting the jackpot. Why dont you just sell your damn eggs because you sound like a bunch of goldigging heffas. Why dont you know that you are worth so much more than a child support check? If a man wants to come all inside you but wont marry you that shit is not something to brag about. Your a sperm holder,a walking condom,a breathing nut rag. Get a grip and a side of self esteem please. Shit,is everything for sale?

“SOME OF MY DOMINICAN FRIENDS GET MISTAKEN FOR BLACK OR AT LEAST MIXED. THEY WILL CORRECT YOU, BUT NONE OF THEM SEEM OFFENDED LIKE LALA DID”
A lady who moved in across the street from me is Dominican and has the most beautiful dark complexion. I mean flawless skin. That chick told me she was not black one day and I had to laugh. I asked her if she knew slave ships made plenty of stops in the Caribbean. She has not spoken to me since.

I’m Very Sorry to hear about Ed Bradley R.I.P.
