Friday Love Notes: Can A Relationship Survive If You Work In The Same Industry?

I notice from being around men and some women in the industry that 90% of the time their significant other is someone who has no connection to that scene at all. I wonder is it because they don't want their women/men to know what it is that they do when they're not around? For instance, I know one groupie who has slept with every single man in a crew of signed artists in the industry. Is the kind of thing that goes on silently in the workplace? David Letterman recently admitted to having affairs with several staff members. Steve Phillips of ESPN was recently fired for having an affair with a production assistant at the network.

Maybe I'm just cynical, perhaps it's because after a long day on the job when you get home you want to sit across the dinner table from someone who can listen objectively and distract your mind from your career. Is this why Shaq supposedly has been having an affair with the fiancee' of Gilbert Arenas? Hmmm, unfortunately cynicism and reality seem to go hand in hand in this topic. It seems to me that there is a strong attraction to those who you work with. There's mutual respect there for the business acumen and ambition. And damned if it isn't very convenient. But what about the negative reasons that drive some people? Envy? Revenge? Will you have to wonder about your boo competing with you for that big account? Or even worse getting a groupie pregnant and being involved with baby mama drama from a chicken head with 2 other baby daddy's.

How do two people that make a living in the same field make it work? It doesn't have to last forever, most relationships obviously don't, but can it be great while it lasts. I wonder if it's when the celebrity gets too much that the ego's become the problem. I know of three couples that run wonderful websites and design businesses together. Then I also know a guy who says he doesn't want to be at the same events or parties as his girl because it would be weird. I guess if we equate success to the money, cars, hoes and clothes, I suppose we'll always want that in abundance. As conveniently as possible.

Erykah Badu's New Album ''New Amerykah Part Two: Return Of The Ankh' To Be Released in February

Over on Erykah's fansite in the forums, Erykah's website administrator dropped a bomb on us yesterday 10/4/09! It was announced that 'New Amerykah Part Two: Return Of The Ankh' will be released(FINALLY) on February 23rd, 2010! Been waiting for an official drop date for a over a year now. Apparently the first single 'Jump Up In The Air And Stay There' will be released shortly. No concrete release date for the single as of yet but should be soon since the album will be out in 3 months. - Augusts1
The first single "Jump In The Air & Stay There" is produced by The Cannaboids and will feature Lil Wayne which I reported earlier this year. Can't help but wait.
