Q. What happens when Samia Khan tags along with her friend Jessica Berry to a comedy show at the J-Spot in Inglewood? A.

Selling Out @ the ESPY Awards After Party
This is a story about a girl who ends up “selling out” because she wanted to appear like she belonged at the ESPY Awards after party…(beyond just looking like a Basketball Wife.) And yes, that girl would be me. Samia Khan. Now, before you gossip-lovers jump to conclusions that I got wasted or hooked up …
VIDEO: Photos of Chris Brown vs Drake, PLUS…Choose Your Team!
Chris Brown and Drake’s crews allegedly got into a fight at a NYC club – and now the news is everywhere – but no one is taking the blame! So I created a completely subjective guide on how to decide whose side you should be on – TeamBreezy (Chris Brown) or TeamDrizzy (Drake)… based on …

Dear Pakistan, Can you stop being so f-ing dramatic? Ack – what? That’s an inappropriate way to start a conversation? I apologize. I’m sorry. Allow me to (re)introduce myself – my name is Khan.

Donald Glover vs Troy Barnes vs Childish Gambino
I’d like to issue an apology to Donald Glover for taking two years to write a blog post about him. You see, the man also known to “Community” lovers as Troy Barnes and hip-hop heads as Childish Gambino is incredibly talented… and I? Well, I’m just a procrastinator. Perhaps I should take a hard-working cue …
E-Tiquette
There’s no question about it…I’m addicted to the Internet. More specifically, social media (I’ve been with Facebook for 7 years, Twitter for almost 3, MySpace…irrelevant since I was never a girl wHo tYPeD LikE tHiS!) Anyway.

A Legendary Run-In with SuperModel Chrissy Teigen
“Hi…um, I follow you on Twitter, so it’s totally acceptable that I followed you into the bathroom, right?” The aforementioned quote?

Taboo: Black Eyed Pea to Black Eyed Shoe Designer
QUESTION OF THE DAY: Is asking Taboo if he’s Taboo a taboo thing to do? So here’s the deal. We’re late to a “Taboo Shows Off His New Sneaker Line” event at Mandalay Bay in Vegas. But, as someone who doesn’t give up (or well, I’d like to believe that) we go anyway. (Side note: …
