Suzie Ketcham: Basketball Wives Star (Video)

Meet Suzie Ketcham, ‘Basketball Wives’ star and Michael Olowokondi’s ex-girlfriend. The new reality show premiered April 11th on VH1—check out a video clip here.The

first installment of Shaq’s new show aired last night, and so far people don’t sound happy with it. The biggest criticism is that it would be more aptly titled

‘Basketball Ex-Girlfriends,’ because only 1 out of 5 of the women featured on the show has actually been married to an NBA player.
The show focuses on a group of women who have in some way been romantically linked to pro basketball players. They now frequent the high-end social circles and events that the VIP life has to offer. You may recognize some of their names—especially Royce Reed’s, who is Dwight Howard’s baby momma, and was on the receiving end of a lawsuit he filed claiming she ‘damaged his image.’
One of the lesser-known stars of ‘Basketball Wives’ is Suzie Ketcham. She is Michael Olowokondi’s ex-girlfriend. Prior to their split, she and Michael had two children together. They dated for nearly a decade, which gave Suzie a formal education in the good life. She now uses those skills to work her way into exclusive parties, where she rubs elbows with celebs and pro-athletes on a regular basis.
I’m guessing the show will be filled with a good dose of one-upmanship. You know, who’s the richest, prettiest, and has the newest Coach purse. I guess it already got a little catty on the very first episode.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the ladies were at a party in Miami hosted by TO and Ludacris. It sounds like a few of the cast mates grew a little jealous of all the attention that Royce Reed was getting as she paraded around the pool “gyrating” too much. Evelyn Lozada simply said “It looks bad.” Yeah, we know what that means.
If you missed the first episode, you can tune in on Sunday nights at 10PM for more madness.

Stacy Lattisaw American R&B and Dance Music Singer

Stacy Lattisaw born on 25th November 1966, is an American R&B and dance music singer.
When she was a teenager in the early 1980s, Lattisaw had a string of Top 40 R&B hits, with several songs — “Let Me Be Your Angel,” “Jump to the Beat”, “Love on a Two-Way Street” and “Miracles” — crossing over to the pop mainstream. Lattisaw recorded her first album for

Cotillion Records at the age of 12 in 1979, under the direction of record producer Van McCoy.
However it was not until she affiliated with Narada Michael Walden, a former drummer with the Mahavishnu Orchestra who was just beginning a career as a producer, that she became a star.

Under Walden’s direction, she had five hit albums between 1981 and 1986. From her album of 1982 , Sneakin’ Out, Mariah Carey took a sample of the song “Attack Of The Name Game” for her song Heartbreaker.
She continued recording into the late 1980s, signing to Motown in 1986, but her audience slowly disappeared. By the early 1990s, she decided to retire from the music industry and concentrate on raising her family. However, her official website states that she is now working on a gospel CD.

'Dancing With the Stars' Pam Anderson covers up to avoid a wardrobe malfunction

"Dance for the ballroom, not the bedroom."Those were Bruno Tonioli's words of advice for Pamela Anderson, who can't seem to turn off the sexy factor (btw is there a

drinking game yet for all the sexually-laced comments she throws in whenever the mic is in front of her? Monday's (April 12) side comment to Brooke Burke: "I love intense romance. I need it right now.").

This in addition to Anderson getting behind-the-scenes instructions from "Dancing With the Stars" producers to cover up more in hopes of preventing a disastrous live Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunction.
The cleavage got well-covered (and producers breathed a little easier), but Anderson's rumba still looked sexy as ever to us -- complete with Anderson's usual come-hither looks at partner Damian Whitewood and an impressive slow-motion splits at the end. But the judges saw something a little different.
"It was understated and had sophistication," Len Goodman said, adding a "well done." Tonioli exclaimed (in standard dramatic fashion), "Pamela Anderson can do refinement and elegance and still be drop dead sexy!" Carrie Ann Inaba saw "magic happening."
All this sophistication and refinement mixed in with magic earned Anderson a 47 out of 60 (7-8-8 for technique and 8-7-9 for performance), putting her in third place for the night, 5 points behind the night's winner Evan Lysacek and just 3 points behind second-place Nicole Scherzinger.

Robin Givhan examines Michelle Obama's first trip abroad alone

On Tuesday, first lady Michelle Obama will travel abroad. She has already visited

nine countries since moving into the White House. But this time, when she arrives in Mexico, she will be a solo star on the world stage. Her three-day journey to Mexico City will be her first official foreign trip alone -- without the president and without her children. She will use it to amplify and articulate a singular message to young people: self-determination.
Recent first ladies have often been at their most provocative when they've traveled abroad. As first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to China for the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995 to deliver a major address. In the weeks leading up to her speech, Clinton administration officials debated whether it was wise for her to go, whether she should confront China on its human rights abuses and how it should be done. She ended up delivering her now-famous speech in which she equated women's rights and human rights. "If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference," Clinton said, "it is that human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights once and for all."
Observers worried that the comments would turn out to be politically devastating. But in an interview with reporters after the fact, Clinton said: "We are working towards having a very comprehensive and hopefully good relationship with China in many areas. For me, it was important to express how I felt and to do so as clearly as I could."
In 2002, when Laura Bush was in Prague on her first overseas trip alone, she delivered a 13-minute address on Radio Free Europe in which she stumped for women's rights in Afghanistan. "I want you to know that the isolation the Taliban regime forced on you is not normal," she said. "Before the Taliban, women were elected representatives in Afghanistan's parliament and women were a vital part of Afghanistan's life. I hope you will be again, because a society can only achieve its full potential when all of its members participate." The comments were broadcast to 28 countries, including Afghanistan. "When I first interviewed with her in 2004, that was the first thing she said, 'I want to go to Afghanistan,' " recalls Anita McBride, her chief of staff from 2005 to 2009. "She'd been talking about going. She'd been meeting with Afghan women quietly at the White House. But she had been prevented from going for a number of reasons. That was my first responsibility."
In embarking on her first solo trip, Obama is following an agenda that her staff will describe only in the broadest of terms: It is meant to underscore "the president's commitment to advancing mutual interests, mutual respect and mutual responsibility between nations and peoples around the world.
But in the days before her departure, the East Wing got more specific and more ambitious, declaring the trip "the kickoff of the first lady's international agenda," with a focus on "youth engagement." Most of the world's population is under the age of 25, said an administration official, and "as a society we have a responsibility to support and nurture them."
Obama will be in Mexico City for a total of about 40 hours and is not expected to travel outside the capital. She will speak to young people -- from primary-school students to recent college graduates -- encouraging them to become active in their communities and take responsibility for their own future.
The Obama White House, over the course of a year and a half, has been particularly attentive to Mexico, and the first lady's trip underscores the breadth and depth of this country's relationship with its southern neighbor. According to the White House, 1 million people cross the U.S.-Mexico border every day and $1 billion in trade passes through that border every 24 hours.
When President Obama traveled to Mexico in April 2009, he noted: "There is a reason why the first visit that I had with a foreign leader after my election was with President [Felipe] Calderón. It was a reminder, as John F. Kennedy said, that the bonds between our two countries cannot be broken."
