It’s official; Jerry Jones is the devil.
I am not a Dallas Cowboys fan, but the team owner made his starting quarterback, Tony Romo, board a nine hour flight to London England, in spite of his broken back. Yes, his back is broken since he has two fractures in his transverse process, which is a small bone that protrudes from each side of the vertebrae.
Even on a good day, a long trans-Atlantic flight is not the most comfortable thing to do; I can only imagine how much it must suck to fly that far with a bad back. Especially since the opponent they will be facing in London is the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Surely, the Cowboys should be able to trust backup quarterback Brandon Weeden to lead the team to victory; after all he was once a starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.
I guess the conversations about Philip Rivers being a top MVP candidate can be tabled for now. His team got “blowed out” as Emmitt Smith would say, 37-0 losing three games in a row. I have no idea what they were doing right in the beginning of the season or what they are doing wrong now, but if they want to stay in the race for their division they better figure things out quickly.
The same can be said for the San Francisco 49ers. On paper they seem to be a talented team and at times they play like a playoff contender not a pretender. However, they are now 4-4 and 3 1/2 games behind the 7-1 Arizona Cardinals having lost to them in Week 3.
I’m not a believer in Carson Palmer being the guy to take the Cardinals to the big game and he’s just as likely to help them lose a game as to win one. But none of that will matter if the 49ers don’t get their act together and start winning some games.
Can anyone tell me if the Pittsburgh Steelers are for real?
The last two games, Roethlisberger has played lights out, but the first few weeks of the season the team looked like crap. I wish the real Steelers would stand up. But the really crazy thing is that all four teams in the AFC North division are above .500 so far. Who would have thought the race for first place in the division would be so tight? Definitely not me, but I’m still rooting for Brian Hoyer and the Browns.
Robert Griffin III came back from his injury only to end up losing to Teddy Bridgewater and the Minnesota Vikings. They should have let Colt McCoy play again; momentum had to be on his side after that thrilling win he orchestrated over the Cowboys last week.
Griffin seems to be injury prone and can’t stay on the field, but even if he could I’m not sure that would be a plus for the Redskins. I won’t call him a bust just yet but I’m getting closer to slapping that label on him.
Last but certainly not least, major props go to my New England Patriots for laying a beat down on the Denver Broncos.
They were three point underdogs in their own house despite going into the game having won 13 consecutive home games, the longest current streak of any NFL team. Hopefully, the critics will keep picking against them because it seems to help the Patriots continue winning.
I’m fine with that.
Janet Jackson gets our Hair of the Week due to the fierce high ponytail she rocked in luxurious Dubai. Jackson was on hand for a Vogue Fashion event and made onlookers do a double take over her new look. Tons of drama was associated with this hair look, from the length of the locks to the wrapped hair around the band. Foolish is the woman who said that the ponytail is a boring style!
Beauty Obsession: Yes, we loved Janet’s tresses for the Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience, but we could not ignore her perfectly arched eyebrows! It seems the fierceness spilled over into the beauty department as well…
Money certainly does not grow on trees, so getting the most out of your products is the goal of every beauty-lista. If you noticed that your mascara is starting to look flaky, chances are this is an old bottle that needs to be pitched. Mascara only flakes if it has dried out too much or is has outlived its shelf life.
To get the most out of your mascara always make sure that you replace the cap back on the bottle tightly. This will prevent any drying out of the product. Moreover, try adding 3 drops of saline solution to your tube of mascara to and mix it around with the wand. The saline can also help to extend the life of your favorite mascara formula.

Yes, you should proudly work what your mama gave you, but a little enhancement never hurt anyone either! In recent years contouring has become big makeup business due to its amazing transforming effects. Women used to need painful surgeries or treatments in order to achieve their ideal facial features. However, now with a brush and some know-how women can contour their way to their idea of perfection.
Naomi, Fatima and Iman are all supermodels that have amazing bone structure. Their high cheek bones are highly sought after and now you can contour your face so that it appears to have higher cheek bones. All you have to do is apply bronzer under the cheekbone then use highlighter on the cheekbone and blend well. Blending is half the battle to having a flawless look. Once blended you are ready for the catwalk or your selfie close-up!
Beauty Quickie: Extend the life of your manicure by applying a coat of clear nail polish once every two days. Apply a little extra product near the top of your nails where chips are more prone to develop.
Beauty Quickie: Prepping your skin for makeup is essential for achieving a flawless makeup look. Never ever skip hydrating your skin with moisturizer or priming it with a primer. Dry flaky skin will not allow makeup to lay nicely and primer will give your cosmetics a nice foundation to build upon and create a protective barrier between your skin and makeup.
If you do a thorough search on hair products you may notice that honey is often listed among the ingredients. Honey is a hair power food that deep conditions and softens tresses. Honey makes for an excellent conditioner because it is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture which it then draws into your hair.
This natural ingredient can be used alone or with other hair power foods to make your hair healthy and strong. Want to give a honey a try? Combine honey with yogurt or olive oil and apply the mixture to your strands. Wrap your hair in saran wrap or slip on a plastic cap and let the honey mix sit for about 30 minutes. When time is up rinse your hair of the unique deep hair treatment and enjoy your moisturized locks.
