BlackBerry bringing BBM to iOS and Android this summer

Tee Ali Models — Tue, 14 May 2013 19:15:06 +0000

Miracles do happen. BlackBerry today announced that BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) will be available on iOS and Android this summer as a free download.

On the BlackBerry blog, BlackBerry employee Donny Halliwell stated that availability is dependent on approval by the Apple App Store and Google Play. BBM for iOS is huge, considering the number of people that use the system: over 51 million daily active users who use BBM an average of 1.5 hours per day, sending over 10 billion messages per day.

Rumors about an iOS version of BBM first started floating around in earnest in March of 2011, but this is the first word from BlackBerry that the app will actually appear.

BBM for iOS should feature the ability to do multi-person chats, allow the sharing of voice notes, and create BlackBerry Groups for sharing calendars, photos, files and more with groups up to 30 people.

10 Ways to Tell She’s Trying to Steal Your BF

Tee Ali Models — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:04:48 +0000

We all know this woman well. She’s your man’s co-worker, a neighbour, one of his “homegirls” or even one of your girlfriends. She appears friendly and genuine at first, but most of us can see her for what she really is – a woman plotting on your man. She’s biding her time, waiting for you to mess up or for your man to display a moment of weakness before she makes her move. She watches him, studies him and tries to formulate a plan to get close to your man.

I know what you’re thinking – she can’t steal a man unless he allows himself to be stolen. This is true. Men can make their own decisions and if they fall victim to a woman who is looking to get at them, good riddance – you don’t want that man anyway. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t guard your relationship against the women out there who are looking to destroy your relationship based on their own selfish needs. These women are not who they appear to be on the outside, and your man be even be oblivious to her wicked ways and think that her “interest” is simply platonic. Not sure if this woman is trying to steal your man? Watch out for these keys signs that she just might be a buzzard circling her prey.

1. SHE WANTS TO BE HIS FRIEND, NOT YOURS

Most men and women have friends of the opposite sex whom they’ve known long before they met you. While I’d never suggest you worry about childhood friends or buddies from college, “new” friends are more apt to be on your radar since you may feel your man has enough friends already. There’s nothing wrong with your man making new female friends, but it’s something totally different if she has no interest in getting to know you. If he makes it known that he’s married or in a relationship, yet the new friend doesn’t want to meet or acknowledge you, then something is up. If she doesn’t want to get to know you, then your man shouldn’t want to get to know HER. Period.

2. SHE’S TOO FRIENDLY WITH YOU

On the flip side, a woman who is TOO eager to get to know you could be up to no good. While you may think she’s just being overly friendly, she could be trying to throw you off her scent so that you don’t suspect anything. By being extra chummy with you, she’s hoping you won’t think it’s weird when she asks personal questions about him or when she always seems to “bump into him” by accident. She could simply be using you to get close to him, so watch out for this new “friend” who’s creeping up in your backyard. She should want to get to know you, but not be your best friend.

3. SHE’S ALWAYS COMPLIMENTING HIM

Ahhh, flattery – it’s the easiest way to suck a man in. Everyone, man or woman, wants to feel special and by complimenting your man every chance she gets, he will naturally assume that she not only finds him attractive, but that she wants him sexually too. Most men just want to know that they still got it, so hopefully he’ll just accept the compliments and keep it moving. But if he’s weak, she may assess his insecurities and become his personal cheerleader, making you look like you don’t appreciate him the way that she does. This woman will try to give him what she thinks you don’t: attention and praise. Watch out for groupies – they know how to play their cards well

4. THEY’RE SOCIAL MEDIA “BUDDIES”

If this woman is constantly stalking his Facebook or Twitter page, “liking” all of his photos (except the ones that contain the BOTH of you), keep a close eye on her. If your partner spends an excessive amount of time on social networking sites, observe whether this woman is always on there “keeping him company” or if she’s the reason he’s on them so much in the first place. Social media may seem innocent because it’s all about “friends,” and he may not feel that you have anything to worry about if his page is public. But if you notice that their contact is frequent and flirtatious, it may be time to have a talk with him about blocking her if she crosses the line.

5. LATE NIGHT CALLS/TEXTS

Whether she’s an old friend or a new one, there is no reason any woman should be calling him at hours of the early morning or late night unless someone is on fire. Same goes for text messages – and this is assuming your man is telling you that this woman is calling or texting him at inappropriate times. If you “discover” these texts or calls, the suspicion then falls on him for not being forthcoming about what this chick is doing since he’s clearly entertaining her. But if he tells you that she’s calling or texting him late, leave it for him to handle. If he doesn’t, bounce him because he’s allowing it for a reason.

6. SHE FINDS REASONS TO “NEED” HIM

This woman is the “damsel in distress” who always needs your man to come change a light bulb, kill a spider or scare away the boogie man. She needs her toilet unclogged or her tire fixed and he seems to be the ONLY man she knows who can ever come to help her. The truth is she’s trying to find a reason to be alone with him while fulfilling a man’s desire to feel needed. She doesn’t care that he has a wife or a girlfriend at home and that she’s taking him away from her. As a matter of fact, she probably likes him more because he’s already in a relationship. Men who are taken always seem more attractive to women like this…and even though he belongs to you, she “needs” him too.

7. SHE DOES ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING FOR HIM

She’s his personal chef, his personal assistant, his maid, his mama and his best friend –and she is totally at his disposal. She makes him soup when he’s sick, picks up his dry cleaning, walks his dog and does everything for him that a “girlfriend” would do…even though he has a girlfriend already. She claims to do all of this because she’s his “friend” – but what she’s really doing is trying to show you up. She doesn’t have respect for boundaries and it’s up to your man to shut it down if he knows what’s good for him. The only person who should be taking care of him is you (or him because he is a grown man) so don’t let this other woman pretend to be a better partner for him than you are. If she’s truly his friend, she’ll know when to fall back and let his girlfriend be there for him.

8. SHE’S TOUCHY-FEELY

This one is kind of obvious, but any woman who always finds a reason to touch your man can’t be trusted. If she’s always trying to sit next to him when you all are out, touches his arm and laughs hysterically when he tells a joke or hugs him just a tad too long, this witch is plotting. While you may think that she’s just flirtatious or that always putting her hands on him is innocent, she could be subconsciously sending him a message that touching him is her way of letting him know that she’s sexually available.

9. SHE BEFRIENDS HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY

If she’s a friend from childhood, then it stands to reason that she knows his friends and family too. But if she’s a “new” friend and is all of a sudden hanging out with his sisters or taking his mother to church – things you don’t even do – there’s something going on or this chick is a stalker. She knows his dad’s birthday, comes over to watch the game with him and his boys and is always trying to insert herself in friendships/relationships that are usually reserved for his significant other. If this is a woman you know, she’s trying to replace you. Most women like this thrive on what they perceive to be an unspoken competition with other women – and she gets a thrill out of knowing that she’s in with the family and can easily take your man if she wants to.

10. SHE IS HIS SHOULDER TO CRY ON

Be careful of the woman who always seems to be the one he calls when you and your man have a fight, because she may secretly be hoping that he gets over you…with her. This is the woman who will smile in your face, but encourage every complaint he has about you when he’s angry – and will convince him that he’s better off without you and that she would “never hurt him” the way that you did. Next thing you know, in a moment of vulnerability, she’ll “comfort” him when he needs someone most – even if he had no intentions of ever sleeping with her. After all, if she has an intimate knowledge of him because he shares all of his business about you two to her, then she has all the information she needs to break down his defenses to her own advantage. If she’s selfish, she’ll pounce on him when he’s at his weakest, so watch out who your man makes himself vulnerable to.

Mark Zuckerberg Made $2.3 Billion In Sale Of Facebook Stock Last Year

Tee Ali Models — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:51:19 +0000

Cotdamn!

Via ABCNews

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reaped a gain of nearly $2.3 billion last year when he exercised 60 million stock options just before the online social networking leader’s initial public offering.

The windfall detailed in regulatory documents filed Friday saddled the 28-year-old Zuckerberg with a massive tax bill. He raised the money to pay it by selling 30.2 million Facebook Inc. shares for $38 apiece, or $1.1 billion, in the IPO.

Facebook’s stock hasn’t closed above $38 since the IPO was completed last May. The shares gained 71 cents Friday to close at $26.85.

The 29 percent decline from Facebook’s IPO price has cost Zuckerberg nearly $7 billion on paper, based on the 609.5 million shares of company stock that he still owns. His current stake is still worth $16.4 billion.

Chris Brown’s Dad Doesn’t Approve Of Relationship With Rihanna

Tee Ali Models — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:43:18 +0000

It’s always something with Chris and Ri Ri.

According to NY Daily News

Chris Brown’s dad would rather his relationship with Rihanna not last “Forever.”

Speaking exclusively to the Daily News, Clinton Brown said he would prefer his hotheaded son stay away from the Barbadian bombshell who he infamously assaulted in 2009.

“I personally really didn’t want him and Rihanna back together,” said Clinton Brown, 48.

“You have to have a balance in a relationship. You have to have someone who is spontaneous and whimsical but you also have to have someone who is grounded and logical.”

That’s certainly not the case with Rihanna and her boy toy.

Clinton Brown worries the roller-coaster romance could fly off the rails and end in tragedy.

“I hate to use examples, but Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse — I mean I could go on and on!”

Clinton said in his modest bungalow in the tiny town of Tappahannock, roughly an hour northeast of Richmond, Va. “Is that a given — that you can’t have fortune and fame without (death) being the end result?”

Clinton split from Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins, when Brown was 6. The dad remains a big presence in Brown’s life, though the only indicator of his son’s success is a shiny silver BMW parked in the driveway.

He conceded that he understands Brown’s attraction to the diva dubbed RiRi.

“She’s beautiful, she’s exotic, she’s successful,” Clinton said.

“One has to assume because they are back together that it wasn’t one-sided,” he said. “You just have to imagine it was a circumstance in which they both had a disagreement.”

Their tumultuous romance will not likely be tamed by a baby any time soon, he said.

“(Rihanna) would make a good mom. I think she would probably have to change some of her antics — the party attitude would probably have to change,” Clinton said. “I don’t think they would just whimsically and spontaneously have a child with them being in this mode. That’s why I don’t see it happening — but anything’s possible, man.”

That’s a bad sign when one of the parents doesn’t like you. Do you think Chris’ dad is right?

By: Taren Vaughan

The year 2013 is not even half way over yet and Beyonce continues to do major things when it comes to her career. Despite the lip sync scandal that surrounded her performance of the National Anthem at President Barack Obama’s second inauguration and the controversy that was brought about after she dropped one of her latest tracks ‘Bow Down’ that got a mixture of responses from other artists in the industry, Beyonce didn’t let the controversy or negative talk get her downas the singer nailed her Super Bowl performance and is on her way to putting on more shows for her avid fans across the globe as her world tour began today. Saying before that she has much love for haters, Beyonce has admitted that she is a lot more fearless these days when it comes to the moves that she makes and is more willing to step outside of the box regardless of how people may feel about it.

And though some people slammed Beyonce over her bold track, it hasn’t stopped her from making business moves with her husband Jay-Z or from landing the major endorsement deals that keep rolling in for her, Beyonce landing herself a multimillion dollar one with Pepsi. The people at Pepsi weren’t the only ones eying Beyonce for their company as we reported that the singer is now the new face of H&M. And as fans caught a glimpse of Beyonce rocking apparel from the H&M summer line, the photos for H&M’s full summer campaign have now been released.

Check out the H&M campaign photos below, courtesy of H&M:

Did Chris Brown Cut off Teyana Taylor for Trying to Sleep with Him?

Chris Brown and Rihanna are clearly back on, but that doesn’t mean the rumors about them and their bedroom past have managed to quiet down any. Karrueche is finally out of the picture, but the couple still finds themselves intertwined with rumors and speculation, so much so that even ASAP Rocky had to set the record straight and let reporters know that he hasn’t slept with Rihanna, despite the reports. Chris also admitted that he does worry that Rihanna could be sleeping aroundwhile she’s on tour, however, the couple isn’t folding to the pressure. Interestingly enough, there’s some new gossip floating around about Chris’ friendship or now lack thereof with Teyana Taylor. Teyana was notoriously known for being a socialite, she did however put out a song a few years ago called “Google Me,” and she’s now signed to Kanye West’s label G.O.O.D. Music. Chris and Teyana were inseparable during his time without Rihanna, and she’s even the one who hooked him up with Karrueche Tran reportedly. Teyana has been spotted with Karrueche several times since Chris kicked Karrueche to the curb, however, Chris hasn’t been seen with Teyana for a good minute. Now rumors are suggesting it’s because she confessed to being in love with him and tried to sleep with him. Here’s the report via Illseed at AllHipHop:

“The rumor suggests that TT all but gave up the chocha to Chris Breezy Brown and he said NAW. They were cool for a long time, but it seems like a ways back, she got too drunk to think. And her thoughts took over. When they did, she was so blown that she offered her body to CB. She also expressed her love for him too, the rumor says. But, what happened after is crazy. Seems like after turning her down, Brown and his people who were there too were pretty saddened. They were so sad that they left her alone and cancelled the room they were staying in. This caused for TT not to have any place to lay her now naked body. Security had to escort her out of the room, by putting a sheet around her. I’m not sure who was there but somehow she got to a friends car and was safe. Anyway…they are no longer friends.”
