THE SEXIEST VEGETARIAN - VOTE FOR E.

Peta.com: We couldn't possibly pick our favorite Hollywood hottie with a heart—they're all winners to us—so we need your help to crown the world's sexiest vegetarians. These stars' reasons for keeping animals off their plates are as diverse and inspiring as their talents. Some choose to go vegetarian to improve their health, some because they know that meat's not green, some to help put an end to cruelty to animals on factory farms and in slaughterhouses, and more.

THE FRYDERYK AWARD FOR ERYKAH

I'm really ashamed that I didn't know this but on April 20, 2009 Erykah won the Fryderyk Award for the Best International Album. The Fryderyk Award is a Polish award for musicians and bands. Erykah won it for her "New Amerykah Part 1, 4th World War" album. She couldn't attend the ceremony herself, so she sent a 'thank you' video. I feel truly blessed, because Erykah decided to thank me as well. I'm speechless and really honoured. You can watch the video by clicking here and see captures I've made below.

'WHITEWASH' DOCUMENTARY

Whitewash is a film exploring the complexity of race in America through the struggle and triumph of the history of black surfers.  It is narrated by Ben Harper and Black Thought, and tells the story through the eyes of black surfers and historians from Hawaii, Jamaica, Florida, and California.  The film is being scored by The Roots, with music from Erykah Badu as well. Let's hope it hits the big theaters soon so we can all catch a glimpse of this historic exploration of race, identity, and surfing culture.

NEW AMERYKAH PART 2 (RETURN OF THE ANKH)

From Rap-Up.com: After delivering a baby girl in February and tweeting about it, Erykah Badu is giving birth to a new project: her sixth studio album. Badu makes her return to music on August 18 with New Amerykah, Part 2 (Return of the Ankh), Rap-Up.com has learned. The effort is the sequel to last year’s New Amerykah, Part 1 (4th World War). Named after the Egyptian hieroglyphic character meaning “eternal life,” Ankh is more spiritual and emotional than its predecessor. “Part 2 would be

the other group of songs which are more right brained and emotional if you will,” the singer told the Austin American-Statesman in March. “They fit together like a puzzle sonically, how they sound, how they feel.”
