I noticed that every time we post a story about Amber Rose, it gets lots of attention. People have very strong opinions…they either hate her or love her. Some people (the haters) get upset because we, the editors of Global Grind, can’t find a lot of bad things to say about her. We leave that for sites that are less creative and less responsible.

Anyhow, when I closely examine the “Amber” phenomenon, I can’t see what she’s done to hurt the planet, the animals or the people. So sorry haters, I really can’t really find fault with her. One thing good spiritual people should be good at is practicing “non judgment.” So as long as Datwon (the COO of Global Grind) allows me to be involved and be Editorial Director of Global Grind, we are gonna try to stay positive. I’m gonna continue to see my team executing my view or if not, people here will get fired!!! But mostly they will be given another chance…but if itdon’t work out… fired. Ok, back to the point. The best reason to practice disdain for something or someone is that it hurts your spirit. Maybe sometimes you don’t want those actions that are performed by another to become your own? And the best way to do that is to pointfingers? I noticed that the greatest haters of gays are mostly frustrated gays themselves…or maybe in Amber’s case, the sexy girl in you wants to walk around your party in a swimsuit…but that’s a fantasy because you are way too afraid to do that.

I believe that most people who become popular are just trying to make their way, and the constant negative pressure from the media tearing them down can sometimes destroy their self image, ruin their chances of becoming more successful or more importantly, destroy their chances of achieving lasting happiness. Here’s a scenario seldom discussed. The pop culture that has 3 million people following Ashton Kutcher on twitter, but only 15 thousand following His Holiness, the Dali Lama could be subject to some judgment? But I guess as a good yogi, I should look past this and pray that we find the good in Ashton, Puff, Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose or any entertainer or celebrity that stole our focus and now has such a powerful affect on our society. We, the collective consciousness, choose Hulk Hogan, Lil Wayne, Paris Hilton, Jay-Z or Amber Rose to focus our attention on, so why does it make us feel sogood to tear them down?

Advice. Practice living a full life. Use your Bible, Koran, Torah, yoga sutras, Buddhist scripture as YOUR guide. Be the best you can be. Tearing other people down will not make you a better Christian, Muslim or Jew. But finding the good in them and protecting them and wishing them well, will!! Try not to pass out bad energy or judgment because the karmic affect is more devastating to your self-image and happiness than it is to theirs’.

PS. I’m not holier than anyone reading this…just pointing out some things that I noticed in me that may be operating in you.

Dear Global Grind,

 

I am so sad an opinion has become so misconstrued. If you would like to know my opinion in it’s entirety, here you go:

 

“Murderers and dictators generally are some of the smartest people out there – they just use their brain power for evil purposes. I don’t condone any of their evil behavior, but I was asked about their intellectual firepower…and in my opinion you can’t have a low IQ and wreck that much havoc on the world. What Hitler succeeded in doing, was deplorable… And I hope we never see such an abusive use of power again.”

“As I indicated on-air, Fidel Castro has outlived many US presidents. More specifically, Castro has unfortunately lorded over a communist state just 92 miles from the US for the better part of five decades to the significant detriment of the Cuban people….”

Remember, our goodie two shoes from Cheetah Girls? Better know as ex-girlfriend of Rob Kardashian, well she strikes again. But this time, with Irv Gotti. They were seen out and about at Da Silvano’s in Midtown yesterday having lunch. Word is she’s shopping around for a solo deal. I can’t help but wonder is this business or pleasure. Maybe she should ask Ashanti before making that move. What does this mean for our Cheetah Girl/ ex-3LW member?  Better yet, what does Deb think? I guess we’ll have to stay tuned for the next season of Irv Gotti’s “Gotti’s Way, maybe there’ll be some surprise guest appearances. Can we say “it’s murder”!!!!!!

Posted by: PynkCelebrity Spencer told Us Weekly that he will be changing his name to King Spencer Pratt. “I’ve decided since there is a Queen of England and a Prince William that there should be a king of America. I nominate myself for that role.” I think this all stems from the fact that Spencer has a need to be assassinated; cause assassinate sounds way cooler than murder.
