UPDATED: WATCH THE FULL 2015 STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS BELOW
Be sure to tune in to tonight's State of the Union address. President Obama will be on live at 9PM ET. Tune in.
By the way...Dvr Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots, or watch the encore showing. That is must see tv.
Earlier today, the White House social media sites released this hand-written note President Obama wrote for Americans, prior to making his State of the Union speech:
Photo Via White House Twitter page:
2015 STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS:
The President gave an excellent SOTU address and outlined the many accomplishments realized under his administration.
Our country has bounced back from what could have been another Great Depression. Millions of Americans now have access to health care, our unemployment rate is down and consumer confidence is high.
Our country has bounced back from what could have been another Great Depression. Millions of Americans now have access to health care, our unemployment rate is down and consumer confidence is high.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Below is a clip of the TEA SIPPIN moment of the night. Republicans TRIED IT when President Obama stated: "I have no more campaigns to run." In which Republicans started clapping...But that little stale moment was quickly trumped by the President's quick response.
He replied: "I know because I won both of them."
He replied: "I know because I won both of them."
Oh, the President's SHADE at the Republicans was on point and definitely had me picking up my glass and taking a sip of my tea,

Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio Getting Close?
Is there a new hot couple about to burst on the scene? Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio getting close? Maybe.
Numerous sources are claiming that the mult-platinum selling singer is getting very close to the award-winning actor, Leonardo DiCaprio.
[Note: The photo above is from several years ago.]
At this point, nothing has been confirmed or denied. The word is that the two spent New Years with each other in St. Barts and they have definitely been spotted over the last several months at the same events, including Leonardo attending Rihanna's MET Gala after-party last year.
So, have these two been dating under the radar? Only time will tell.
However, if these two become an official item. They would make one hell of a couple. I literally will be sippin' tea while watching all the melt downs happening from the folks that assumed they knew Leo's dating habits. (Check the blog archives)
A new Rih Rih and Leo sighting happened over the weekend. TMZ is reporting that Leonardo attended the birthday bash of designer, Nikki Erwin, at the Playboy Mansion. Nikki's boyfriend, producer, Chuck Pacheco (Alpha Dogs) invited Leo. Sources at the party say Leo and Rihanna were spotted kissing and having a good time.
One party goer tweeted about seeing them kiss, however, the tweet was deleted soon thereafter. It seems Rihanna and Leonardo want their privacy and they should have it.
Again, no statement to confirm or deny any type of relationship has been released.
[Video]
Dish Nation broke the news...
Btw...the jealousy and disdain spewing from the host that is running off at the mouth is hilarious and a sample of the pre-melt downs that will be happening if this rumored couple becomes an official one..

Book of the Month: [January 2015] - THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER (Mara Dyer Trilogy Book One) By Michelle Hodkin
The book of the month pick for January, 'The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer,' is a dark young adult paranormal psychological thriller that I've heard great things about.
While this is the debut novel from Michelle Hodkin, I have anticipated reading this new trilogy based on the simmering buzz the novels are getting and the riveting character and plot dynamic that does nothing but create a threshold of suspense and dares a reader to unearth this creepy, yet; romantic tale.
As always...happy reading!
Amazon Link: The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer AMAZON LINK
Synopsis via Amazon:
Mara Dyer believes life can't get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.
It can.
She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her strangely unharmed.
There is.
She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love.
She's wrong.
Additional titles in the trilogy include:
The Evolution of Mara Dyer (The Mara Dyer Trilogy Book 2)
The Retribution of Mara Dyer (The Mara Dyer Trilogy Book 3) - Released 11.4.14
I can't wait to read this trilogy.
By the way...

Jourdan Dunn the First Black Woman to Cover British Vogue in 12 Years
Even though its 2015, there continues to be major hurdles that need to be conquered where race is concerned. This stark reality is extremely prevalent in the modeling and fashion industry. This is why the announcement supermodel, Jourdan Dunn, made was historic and exposed the lack of diversity shown on fashion magazine covers and magazines in general.
Dunn posted an excited Instagram photo and message relaying that she was going to be on the February cover of British Vogue. What is significant about this coveted magazine spot, is the fact that there hasn't been a black woman on the cover solo in twelve years. That's a blinding punch in the face of reality where some fashion "elite" fail to see the beauty in black women. Well, that's what some would like to believe. Could it be something a bit more...green? *PoursTea*
Surprisingly, NOT money. More like...green with envy? Seriously...I mean, tanning products are a billion dollar industry. Lip injections and lip products that increase the size of lips are in high demand as well. These are all traits that Black women naturally possess. *SipsTea*
Sorry not going to be politically correct on this subject. At some point...it needed to be said. Maybe that isn't the case, but, I refuse to spill the same tired ass narrative about this particular subject. Think about it? Why is it difficult for most magazine editors to make the decision to place Black folks on their covers? Hell...People magazine STILL refuses to choose Idris Elba as the 'Sexiest Man Alive' for their cover, even though EVERY YEAR they "fangirl" over him as a runner up. *BlankStare*
I digress.
With all that being said, it is good to see British Vogue moving in the right direction and breaking away from a "lily white" cover history.
Congrats to Jourdan Dunn!
