Godmama Oprah Has Announced Her Talk Show Departure

Okay, BIG NEWS was announced yesterday about Oprah Winfrey deciding that her syndicated national talk show of over 23 years will be ending Septemeber 2011, 25 years after her show debut in 1986, making it the longest runnning talk show in the history of television.

Oprah Winfery is what Michael Jackson was to pop music and dancing!! She reigns supreme and has inspired so many people to pursue working in the media, owning their own businesses, and being moguls! She has been a staple on daytime television since I was just a tot! She doesn't even feel the need to be nominated for Daytime Emmy's anymore because she wants other people to have a shot! Now if that ain't a FABULOUS Brown Girl, I don't know what is!

Even though Fabulous Brown Girl knew this day was going to eventually come, we were secretly hoping the Oprah would continue doing her show from a nursing home if she had to with her walker still looking FLY!

Clearly, Oprah wants to focus on the next phase of her career and that is with the Oprah Winfery Network, where she will host a show and reruns of the sydincated talk show will air as well.

So who will be the new Queen of Talk when Oprah retires from her network talk show... Tyra, Wendy, Ellen... ?? I know, I know, we are just as sad as you are when we begin to fathom such a travesty happening, but we are definitely wishing Oprah the best!

FBG Spotlight: Janet Jackson Interview

This was a great interview of Janet Jackson breaking her silence and showing her strength as she remembers her brother, Michael Jackson, who she says she was the closest to.

I was both touched and proud of her while watching the interview that throughout all that has gone on in her life and her late brother's life that remains strong for her family and her fans. She said that she "smiles when things get a little painful. "

She also talks about her life, her childhood, her relationship with her father, Joe Jackson, and her romantic relationship Jermaine Dupree!

If you missed it last night, check out the full interview! Fabulous Brown Girl heart Janet Jackson so much!

FBG Spotlight: Giving Back to OUR HOUSE

Last Thursday, FABULOUS BROWN GIRL had an awesome opportunity along with Brandi Starr from Starr Studded Events to volunteer at Our House in Atlanta, GA. Our House is a child care facility designed for people who could not afford expensive day care costs, or may be recovering from being homeless and making attempts to get back on their feet.

We threw birthday parties for every age group! We gave them cupcakes, lemonade, chips, and animal crackers! Seeing these kids faces light when we entered the room was a very memorable moment! Gifts were even given out to children whose birthdays were actually during the month of November! Unfortunately, these children's family probably do not have the resources to have birthday parties for their little ones even though they proably really want to!

Like I posted yesterday, giving back is not just about doing favors for others, its ultimately about giving to yourself. Giving yourself the feeling of philanthropy is a great gift. It humbles you and allows you to be appreciative of what you were blessed with.

I want to give Brandi Starr a huge Thank You! for making this opportunity possible for me to take part of! It is definitely something I think would be great to do again in the future!

Check out this slideshow of the OUR HOUSE birthday parties! Photos courtesy of Kustom Kreations Photography. Can't you tell we had a great time?! I mean how can you not when you are throwing birthday parties for these wonderful kids ?!

A Little Fabulous Brown Girl Inspiration: Serving Others and Being Fabulous

Happy Monday!

Here at Fabulous Brown Girl our motto is being fabulous means doing more...

A truly fabulous person knows that it is not always about her and her latest trends, men, and socialite lifestyle, but about about recognizing that there are others who can not afford to have what you do and that being fabulous is really about taking time to give back to others.

What service are you committed to? Are you involved with a service oriented non profit organization? Are you involved in a ministry at your church?

These are just a snippet of ways that you can give back and be even more fabulous!

Let Fabulous Brown Girl know what you are doing to give back and TRULY be fabulous!

Remember you are not doing God a favor by serving others, He is the one doing you a favor!

FBG Photo of the Week!

Here is our pick for Fabulous Brown Girl Photo of the Week! When I saw this photo I have to admit my mouth literally dropped! This dress is amazing! Rihanna may have her own issues, but she is definitely overcoming them and looking FABULOUS at the same time.

FBG admires how Rihanna loves to switch it up! We see she is now rocking blonde tresses on top with shaved sides. She is always changing her look and apparently can pull off ANY style she tries!

KEEP looking out for more FBG Photos of the Week! Leave a comment and let us know what you think! Happy Friday!

FBG Music Break: Letoya Luckett and Ludacris

This is one of my new jams to groove to! I love the beat and the lyrics Letoya sings about! I mean I think we all have a past fellow who thought he was doing THE MOST and didn't recognize our sunshine (yes Common!!) until it was too late!!

So now anytime he sees you in all your glory and he has to make you feel bad or try to get back on your good side. Too bad for him we moved on to bigger, better and more FABULOUS things!

So Fabulous Brown Girls, who would you dedicate this to? Let us know and check out Letoya and Ludacris NEW video for REGRET!!!
