Idris Elba opens up & reveals BELOVED SON he thought he’d fathered in 2010 wasn’t his & describes it as tragic.
WHAT DO *YOU* THINK ABOUT THIS?: Idris Elba opens up & reveals BELOVED SON he thought he’d fathered in 2010 wasn’t his and describes it as tragic. Really touching…
Idris is usually extremely private but he shared with GQ magazine about a hugely painful part of his life. He spoke about the awful moment when he discovered that he wasn’t the biological father of the child he knew as his son.
“The celebration of having a son, from a man’s perspective, it’s massive,” said Idris Elba about 2010 news reports that he was gushing about a beautiful baby boy, his son, with his ex-girlfriend, Desiree Newberry, in Florida. According to news reports, Idris met “Dezi” when she was a stripper at Atlanta’s infamous Magic City strip club. When she became pregnant, Idris moved his then girlfriend into his house in Miami so he could take better care of her.
A friend of his girlfriend, told him something wasn’t right… “It wasn’t immediately obvious. Well, it was, because he didn’t look like me. But it wasn’t immediately obvious what had gone down.”
Idris did a paternity test and his worst fears were confirmed. “To be given that and then have it taken away so harshly,” he says, “was like taking a full-on punch in the face: POW.”
He described the experience as “extremely freeing”. “You know, the truth is — like, even admitting it, I’ll probably get laughed at for the rest of my life. But it is just tragic, and it happened. But I wasn’t knocked out. I stood right … back up, and I ain’t aiming to take another punch in the face ever again. Do you understand what I’m saying? It happened to me. I moved on.”
Shortly after his secret bad news, Essence magazine asked Idris about how his first child, his daughter with his ex-wife felt about her new status as a big sister. All Idris had to say was, “I only have a daughter.”
“I’ve not been an angel in my life, either — do you know what I’m saying? So to a certain extent, what goes around comes around. But for me in the future, I’m about being comfortable. That’s it. Now that I’ve achieved some of the things that I’ve wanted to achieve, I’m not going to be a slave to it all of a sudden. I respect the artist that lives that way. The people that just go, ‘You’re going to hate me for what I just did, or you’re not going to understand why I made that film or that record or whatever, but what you are watching is someone that’s living their life.’ You know: I’m not watching you; you’re watching me.”
This story has a happy ending… for Idris! He’s together with a lovely new lady (his make-up artist girlfriend Naiyana Garth) and they have a lovely baby son called Winston.
While Idris’ unfaithful ex-girlfriend, Desiree Newberry, has gone back to stripping for a living. I feel sorry for her too, somehow. What think you?

Oh Idris Elba! Heaven save and protect us!
The star #TheWire caused a frenzy this summer on the set of his new movie… but it turned out just to be #IdrisElba ’s microphone wire (so he says anyway). Doesn’t look like a mic wire…
Two Idris tweets:
– “The good news is i got a sh—load of followers. The bad news is, that is a mic wire. #egowentintospaceshipmodethough”
– “Calvin Klein called my mobile, they want me in their next campaign. Foot long john’s Coming Winter 2014.”
This man has a sense of humor… Along with everything else.

SO TOUCHING! I defy you NOT to cry… A Daddy’s Letter to His Little Girl (About Her Future Husband)
“Dear Cutie-Pie,
Recently, your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google. Halfway through entering the question, Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world. Perched at the top of the list was “How to keep him interested.”
It startled me. I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual, when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich, and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.
And I got angry.
Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to “keep him interested.”
Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul—in that unshakeable place that isn’t rattled by rejection and loss and ego—that you are worthy of interest. (If you can remember that everyone else is worthy of interest also, the battle of your life will be mostly won. But that is a letter for another day.)
If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the word: you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.
Little One, I want to tell you about the boy who doesn’t need to be kept interested, because he knows you are interesting:
I don’t care if he puts his elbows on the dinner table—as long as he puts his eyes on the way your nose scrunches when you smile. And then can’t stop looking.
I don’t care if he can’t play a bit of golf with me—as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you.
I don’t care if he doesn’t follow his wallet—as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you.
I don’t care if he is strong—as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart.
I couldn’t care less how he votes—as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of reverence in his heart.
I don’t care about the color of his skin—as long as he paints the canvas of your lives with brushstrokes of patience, and sacrifice, and vulnerability, and tenderness.
I don’t care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion—as long as he was raised to value the sacred and to know every moment of life, and every moment of life with you, is deeply sacred.
In the end, Little One, if you stumble across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important thing in common:
You.
Because in the end, Little One, the only thing you should have to do to “keep him interested” is to be you.
Your eternally interested guy,
Daddy”

Celebrate your curves! HOW TO LOOK SEXY & FABULOUS IN SKINNY JEANS!
You love the look of blue skinny jeans on your favorite celebrities but you think they won’t be flattering for you?
Let’s face it, for most women there is nothing more traumatic than going to a store to buy jeans! The problem is, so many women don’t know the celeb style secrets that make looking good in skinny jeans a breeze!
Let’s fix that now! Give the tips and tricks in this article a try and you might find yourself looking fierce & fantastic in a pair of skinny jeans!
— DEFINITION: Skinny jeans fit snugly along the entire length of your leg from your hips right down to your ankle. They create the illusion of long, lean legs.
— A DARKER WASH
You will find a darker wash to be more slimming and it’s also much more versatile. It can be casual during the day and dressed up for a more sophisticated evening look. If you’re curvy, avoid the distressed look with bleaching, tears etc. because it will make your thighs look bigger. Stick with plain dark wash jeans.
— STRETCH
If you go for some stretch in your jeans – Lycra – you will find that they are much more forgiving to your curves. They expand and contract just where they need to.
— STYLING:
The key to making skinny jeans work is choosing the most flattering tops and accessories to go with them.
— TOP:
Proportion is crucial when you wear skinny jeans! Don’t go for short or tight tops. Wear a LOOSE, FLOWY TOP – the volume will create a visual balance the tightness of the skinny jeans on the bottom. Dolman sleeve tops, empire waisted blouses, flowy tunics… these will not only balance the skinny jeans but they will also cover your waistline & behind AND not cling to your tummy.
FITTED JACKET or BLAZER that comes below the hips – this can give your skinny jeans flattering and sophisticated look
COLOR – Blue skinny jeans can act as a neutral foundation for your whole outfit and so you can add color with your tops.
If you want to draw the eye away from your hips and thighs, you can accessorize using a big necklace or a fabulous headband.
— SHOES
Fabulous footwear is a must with skinny jeans! Wear with heels because this will extend the lines of your legs in the skinny jeans and make your legs look longer and leaner. The heels will also lift your behind so it will appear even perkier! You can wear flats but if you are curvy, be aware that wearing flats will make you look wider than you are.
— BELT – if you have an hourglass shape you want to show off – use a stylish belt at your waist to pull it in.
— LENGTH: Go for a little more length in the hem when you’re wearing skinny jeans. A bit of scrunching at the heels is a good thing. It’s stylish and it makes your skinny jeans NOT look like leggings!
When skinny jeans work, they really work. You can become a sexy, skinny jeans siren if you just give these tips a try.
I’m here rooting for you!
love,
