JOHN MCCAIN & SARAH PALIN: HISTORY MAKERS OR POLITICAL MOCKERS... YOU DECIDE

Well I can’t say that John McCain picking Sarah Palin as his Vice President came as a surprise to me. In fact, I figured that he would pull a dramatic move to get more media attention and more votes. The thing that makes me laugh though is that he is so predictable. All of the women in his life, including his new VP are cookie cutter pageant participants.

It should be noted that Sarah Palin has made great strides as a woman in the political arena. Not only would she be (in the unlikely case that McCain wins) the FIRST female Vice-President, but she has already made history as the first woman to become Governor of Alaska.

However, I doubt this move will encourage more people to go out and vote for him. His decision seems more superficial than actually dealing with the true issue- who is better equipped to assist him with running the United States?

Remember that this race is about our future, our children’s future, and our economy… so it offends me when candidates, like John McCain, make a mockery of our political process and attempt to turn it into a popularity contest.

What did you think about this decision?

YOU TUBE OF THE DAY... BEYONCE SUPPORTS SOLANGE

REALLY CHAD OCHO CINCO? THIS DUDE!!!

Yes, yes, yes, the rumors are in fact true; Chad Johnson has changed his name to “Chad Javon Ocho Cinco.” Leaving me to say: this dude is off the Richter scale with his insaneness.

Chad first coined himself as Ochos Cinco two years ago. And for those of you who didn’t pay attention in Spanish Ochos Cinco is 85, representing Chad’s jersey number. He even had the balls to put it on the back of his jersey before a game, but quarterback Carson Palmer ripped it off before kick off.

Since it is “officially” his last name, I guess no one can complain about him displaying it proudly. But, I’m sure this won’t help his relationship that he has with his coaches who already dislike him. When the season ended, coach Marvin Lewis referred to Chad as “Ocho Psycho.”

According to Chad, the name change isn’t a crazy move it’s just enjoying life and having fun.

Here’s what he had to say on the teams website: “It’s something I don’t think anyone has ever done before. Have I ever had a reason for why I do what I do? I’m having fun.”

Well Chad Ocho Cinco have your fun. I can’t wait to see what name will be displayed on the back of your jersey during the season opener game against Baltimore!!!

FAT JOE CALLS DADDY YANKEE A "SELLOUT"joe

After reading this article on mtv.com I gained a new found respect for Fat Joe. Below is what he had to say about Daddy Yankee endorsing John McCain as the best candidate for Latino’s:

***I know the article is long but Fat Joe hits some good points that I highlighted in white***

Daddy Yankee’s Comment:

"I believe in his [John McCain] ideals and his proposals to lead this nation," Yankee said. "He's been a fighter for the Hispanic community."

Fat Joe’s Response:

"Put this in the MTV News headline: 'Fat Joe Says Daddy Yankee Is a Sellout,' “the MC said via phone from Denver, where he's attending the Democratic National Convention. "Just like that! I gotta go in. I'm talking to little cousins that like [Yankee] and all that, and they're starting to believe that John McCain is [the best candidate]. I can't have that.

"I opened the newspaper and got sick to my stomach," Joe continued. "I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We're fighting an unjust war. It's the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war. ... We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he'll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he's just not educated on politics."

Joe said he's more than willing to educate Yankee on each of the politicians' platforms.
"If he believes John McCain is the better candidate for the Latinos," Joe said, "we could sit down. Even if he wants to get into a debate, we can debate anywhere — New York, Puerto Rico."
The Grammy-nominated lyricist is especially enthralled with Obama's promise for improved and universal health care. That issue still hits home for the rap veteran.

"Like I said, with me, my whole philosophy on blacks and Latinos is: We're all one," he said.

"We're in the same ghettos, same inner cities, and we're suffering from the same problems. Every problem the blacks have, the Latinos have. There's two systems of health care: the one for the rich that's really good, then there's the one for the inner city, where they leave ladies in the emergency room unattended for 24 hours until they drop dead. ... People don't even check on her hours after she's dead. This is normal stuff. This is what's happening in the U.S."

Joe blames inferior health care for a tragedy he and his family suffered years ago.
"My own sister — to me she was murdered by doctors," he claimed. "She was having a baby in the Bronx, and they gave her an epidural — a normal procedure that was supposed to numb her from the waist down. They numbed her from the waist up, because they had amateurs learning in the Bronx hospitals. Not even real doctors — students murdered my sister in the inner city, in the Bronx. I love what Barack is doing with the heath care system. Once he gets universal health care for everybody, then we gotta step up our system to make it the best in the world."

He was moved by speeches on consecutive evenings by Hillary and Bill Clinton.

"That was beautiful, man," he said. "I'm a huge fan of the Clintons. I love Hillary; I love Bill. They hit home runs out the park. I was so excited when Bill was speaking. It reminded me of why I love him. He's articulate, so smart. Greatest president of our era. When he was here, we had peace. Yasser Arafat of Palestine and the prime minister of Israel, shaking hands and hugging, bringing peace in the Middle East, not war! Everybody had jobs. The economy was growing. George Bush and the Republicans turned the whole country around to where our dollar is worth half the Euro dollar. Your man John McCain wants to continue the same tactics of the Bush organization. Why should my man Daddy Yankee be endorsing McCain?

This is the only urban guy in the universe to endorse John McCain. You got people who look up to [Yankee] — young teenagers that look up to him and might make the wrong choice. John McCain is the wrong thing to do. I don't think the Republicans care much about minorities. I can't believe [Yankee] went and endorsed this guy."

Fat Joe would also like to change the perception of his country in the eyes of the rest of the world.

"I travel the world doing shows, and people hate the United States because of the policies of George Bush," he explained. "Years ago, you would go overseas, and the people would praise you and love the United States. I feel Barack Obama is the one person who could bring not just the United States, but the world together. I was in Africa two days ago, and I seen people with 'I Love Obama' on their bumper sticker. He just spoke to 200,000 people in Germany."

Now more than ever, Joe said he realizes the importance of participating in this upcoming election.

"Fat Joe says it's not an option to vote," he insisted. "We have to vote and change this country around. Everybody has to get out there and register. I'm not asking, I'm telling you to go vote. I'm forcing you."

A rep for Daddy Yankee said the MC is out of the country and won't be available for comment until next week.

NEW YORK GOES TO HOLLYWOOD

I’m not sure if you follow New York Goes to Hollywood like I do, but the most recent episode tells me that this rumor that she may be in a movie with Will Smith just might be true.

In last weeks episode Tiffany Pollard met her manager and a movie caster at her manager’s ranch. After the movie caster reminded Tiffany that her pushy mother will hinder her career, she told Tiffany that there was a role that she might cast her for in a movie that actually has A-Listers.
According to our sources, Tiffany is being considered for a role in The Trial of the Chicago 7, which stars Will Smith. Now, that my friends is pretty big time.

Like the caster said on the show, the role will not be a leading one, but hey at least she might be on the big screen!!!

DANITY KANE DRAMA... IS DAWN GOING SOLO???

I caught this story off another blog site so don't hold it as the truth...but it is interesting. According to theybf.com an insider has leaked information to them that Dawn is going solo and leaving the Dollhouse behind.

Now this story does make some sense. If you think back to Dawn's birthday party none of the other members of Danity Kane came. Also, if you saw the TRL show where Danity Kane played Making the Band games against Day 26, Dawn was at the forefront and acted as the leader of the group. To add more juice to this solo idea, Dawn has hired her own personal publicist.

Maybe she is going solo...maybe this is all a rumor... but either way check out what this "illiterate" source had to say (and I did not edit the sources comments because I wanted you to see the level of intelligence yourself.)

To sum it up it’s the girls (D. Woods, Aubrey, Aundrea & Shannon - not as much) against Diddy and Dawn. They found out and believe that Diddy was doing some real shady stuff with Dawn on the side! Not on the sexual tip, but flying her to him for private minutes and whatnot, basically putting together her solo project behind the rest of there’s back. Of course Aubrey has been the mouth piece in how jacked up it is and has rallied D. Woods against Dawn; hence none of them showing up to her bday party or them giving her the middle school cafeteria treatment at the recent party. Of course Diddy doesn’t care, he wants Dawn to be the star (which is why last season of MTB showed mostly her and you rarely saw the other girls) and even now he still has Dawn and only Dawn going out to do promotions on behalf of Danity Kane. If you go to Dawn’s myspace page, so does have some “newer” solo material up…I can’t say I’m 100 on that’s what she has been doing with Puff but it is definitely her own material. Bad Boy is keeping it hush hush because they still want Dawn to seem like the sweet and innocent one, which she may be….but the rest of D.K. are still pretty pissy because they don’t believe she is the most talented and are heated that she would go along with Puff and do recordings, meetings, and press without letting “her girls/her sisters” know about it.

KIM K IS SHOWING REGGIE BUSH SOME NEW MOVES

Kim K recently told Usmagazine.com that she is showoing off her new Dancing with the Stars dance moves to her boo Reggie Bush.

How does she do it since they’re in two different cities?

“When I first started [rehearsing], I put him on iChat because he's in New Orleans right now [with the Saints]."

"I went to New Orleans a few days ago... just for the night," she said. "I have a brace that helps me with my posture and I was wearing it and he was looking at me like I was crazy.

"And I was like, 'No, you've got to do all these steps with me,'" she says. "So, I was doing my full dance in front of him, but it's hard because I kind of have to teach him and I'm just learning myself - so I couldn't confuse him.

"He gets so excited," Kardashian added.

He's gotten so excited that he promised to join her in the dance studio.

"He's coming in town for one day and he's going to spend the day rehearsing with me and see what it's like," she says.

~Isn’t that sweet~

REHAB REPORT: DAVID DUCHOVNY JUST CHECKED IN

I always thought there was no such thing as a sex rehab clinic but I guess I was WRONG.

Actor David Duchovny entered a facility to treat his sexual compulsion and his wife of 10 years, actress Tea Leoni, is sticking with him.

According to David, he “voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

Too much sex?!?!?! … I guess that really is a problem especially if you have to go to rehab for it.

I wonder did he want it every hour, three times a day, or was he just into risque acts.
IDK… what do you think makes a person a sex addict? You can post your response below anonymously!

CHECK OUT PEPA DENTON'S INTERVIEW WITH ESSENCE

Pepa Denton, being the hustler that she is, is coming out with her autobiography. However, instead of focusing on specific moments in her life she is crafting her autobiography to reflect a tell-all book.

Check out some of the juicy details that she told Essence magazine:

Interviewer: You detail your stormy marriage to Anthony 'Treach' Criss, from Naughty by Nature, and the years of abuse he put you through. Have you ever had an opportunity to talk to him, post-divorce, about how it affected you?

PEPA: No, and honestly, he's the one person I'm nervous about reading this, but I had to do it. How do I not tell that part of my life story? This book is not so much about my abuse, but my road to recovery.

Interviewer: For years, there had been industry whisperings about you and Treach's tumultuous marriage. Has he ever reached out to you to apologize?

PEPA: No, and I want to make it clear it is what it is. From what I know, people grow and that might have been who he was in the past. I can't speak for who he is now. Hopefully, this was then. He really is a great father to his kids. I don't want to make him out to be the bad guy. Again, the real story I wanted to tell is more about why I allowed these things to happen to me.

Interviewer: That's truly a blessing. In your book you say that your decision to change your patterns with abusive relationships had to do with your son, Tyran, and Egypt, your daughter with Treach. Did they ever witness the physical abuse and question you about it?

PEPA: No, never physical, but they were often present during yelling and screaming matches. People forget that verbal abuse is equally unhealthy. My kids used to see me crying and depressed all the time, and that can affect kids as well.

~Now I’m not trying to be rude because ya’ll know I serve it straight up. So lets be real… We all knew that he was beating her? That is not a shocker!!!!~

You Tube of the Day... Job Well Done from McCain to Obama

Even Senator John McCain has to congratualte Senator and soon-to-be President Barack Obama.

OUR FAVORITE YOUNG COUPLE... MOVING IN?

Tabloids are reporting that Chris Brown and Rhianna are moving in together. According to the report, the two are looking for a condo to purchase in Beverly Hills.

“She and Chris want to live together,” says the source. “They play their music loud though, so they want a condo that’s soundproof."

If you are shocked by this news you shouldn’t be. I’m not sure if you caught the BET Awards but Chris was in the audience singing harder than Rihanna when she performed “Take a Bow”. I figured something like this would happen soon.

BUT I’m not sure if buying a condo before they get married is the smartest idea.

------------------------------------------------------------------

SI, SI, PUEDE!!!! CHECK OUT SENATOR OBAMA TONIGHT

Senator Barack Obama will give his acceptance speech tonight on CNN at 10 p.m.

This is HISTORIC!!!! Make sure you tune in.

No way, no how, no McCain————–– YES WE CAN

RUMOR MILL.... LIL WAYNE'S IN REHAB

Yup, the rumor mill is up and spinning. According to mediatakeout.com a Lil Wayne “source” has reported that Lil Wayne has checked himself in for rehab.

In backing up this story mediatakeout relies on a statement from the “source” that Lil Wayne missed a mandatory court appearance because of an “undisclosed medical procedure.”

Well ya’ll know I love me some Wayne so let’s hope for the best. If rehab is what he needs then he has my full support.

~I’ll keep you posted~

Insiders report that Phelps will be guest starring on the upcoming season of the Entourage. As a matter of fact, Phelps is in NYC shooting episodes with the cast.

I wonder if he’s going to wear his speedo’s? For some reason he makes them look great!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------

"WIN THE SUPERBOWL AND DRIVE OFF IN A HYUNDAI"...DANG STRAHAN

I guess football players like Michael Strahan were who Kanye was talking about in his hit Golddigger because Strahan’s ex-wife just got a sweet divorce settlement.

As a part of their divorce Strahan has to pay his wife $15.3 million… ain’t that bout a _________. Well Strahan is fighting this judgment amount and has only handed over half of the $15.3.

The $15.3 million includes $27K for clothes, $36K for “equipment and furnishings”, and 3K for audio-visual expenses.

~I will keep you posted on the final amount he pays out…

------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS OLE WHACK BEHID DUDE

Of all people Chance of the “Stallionaires” had the nerve to clown my girl, Ms. Tiffany “I love me some NEW YORK”, Pollard in his recent interview.

This is what he told King Magazine:

Sex with New York:

It was like having sex with a stuffed animal—with those fake eyes and fake hair. A stuffed animal with a real set of you-know-what. It feels like having sex with an oversize Cabbage Patch. You got silicone parts that are made for toys.

His ADVICE (WTF!!!!) for New York:

Stop kissing so many damn guys, man. Relax. Take it slow. Don’t put no more plastic parts on you, because you ain’t a toy. Unless you want to be my toy again. That’s aight, then. Come on down. You know where to find me. But New York, be safe out there. You’re a good person.

Chance is super duper whack and he of all people should not be trying to blast on New York. I swear everybody wants some camera time these days.

------------------------------------------------------------------

MICHELLE OBAMA IS FIERCE

Chris Wants to Be More than Her Friend

Apparently Rhianna and Chris forgot that they were supposed to be “really close friends” because yesterday they were all over each other in a Miami KFC. Since they didn’t see the flashing lights of the paparazzi there they thought they wouldn’t be caught….THINK AGAIN!!!

This time the two lovebirds were caught on the security camera (now that’s a darn shame KFC security cameras are becoming sources for media pics…but hey by any means necessary.) Check out the pics and make sure you go grab a copy of Ebony’s June edition because Chris is supposed to tell about his new “off-the market” status. I guess the couple are taking notes from Jay and B.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Kanye Goes Crazy Over Shades

Kanye West has lost his last mind with his latest business venture. Not to say it won’t be a success…because there is somebody out there foolish enough to buy it…I just personally think it’s ridiculous. What is so ridiculous? Shades that cost 2K. Who needs a pair of 2K dollar sunglasses? Well Kanye feels these sunnies-and yes he did say sunnies- are the hottest thing out and that’s why he wants them to be the first item he releases with his new clothing line Pastelle.

The sunglasses are designed by George Gorrow of Ksubi from Australia. Check out what Kanye had to say about them:

"I love the sunnies Ksubi has produced over the years, and it's an honour to collaborate with them on this first installment of Pastelle frames," West told STUFF.CO.NZ. "George is an incredibly talented designer, and I've never met anyone who knew more about sunglasses and other cool stuff."

Kanye has a pair of these “sunnies” on in the above pic. The line is set to launch in October 2008 PLEASE do not spend three of your pay checks on these glasses just so you can rock Kanye’s line…it’s not worth you going in debt and getting your lights cut off!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------

Kimmy Wants EVERYTHING

Now ya’ll know I love me some Kimmy so I’m going to do my best to stay on her side on this one because only she knows why she’s doing what she’s doing. But according to TMZ, Kimora has tried to block Uncle Russ from having joint custody by filing a petition for sole custody. Now we don’t know if this is true but if it is I’m sure there’s some sort of logic behind her decision.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Nick Just Might Be Mariah’s New B***H

News alert to Nick Cannon….you’re a semi-star again (at least until this wedding bs dies down) so don’t look so surprised when you’re swarmed by the paparazzi as you leave a hotel!!! When leaving a New York hotel on Thursday Nick tried to hide his ring as he dodged the paparazzi. Now I don’t know why he’s acting all humble because I’m sure he was smiling hard on the inside. He hasn’t gotten this much attention since Jessica Alba…or CHristina Millian... whoever he was dating dumped him. He’s such a weirdo.

And if you were wondering about Mariah….hmmmmmm

You can check her out in her first interview post-marriage to her boy toy on Ellen. The show is scheduled to air 5/13 and if you’re in the area maybe you can be in the audience when they tape it on the 5/12.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Lebron’s House

So we all know that Lebron is a private man. We rarely see him in pictures other than when he has a ball in his hand and he makes sure he keeps his three sons out of the public eye. But we have managed to get our hands on a clip of Savannah Brinson and the kids at home. Check it out to get a glimpse of his life.

~And we sincerely hope that he’s not getting any ideas about a reality show similar to that mess that Dionne Sanders and Mrs. P have on Oxygen…now that show is a mess. A scooter Dionne…really???~

From Rubberband Man to Paper Trail T.I. Grows Lyrically

Despite his recent legal troubles, T.I. is set to release his sixth album “Paper Trail” this August. In a recent Hot 107.9 interview he stated that this album was more artistically and intelligently put together. "I'ma still get loose now. I'ma still do me. But you know when I was living the way I was living, I was rapping the way I was rapping ... A lot of elements that were in my life no longer exist.”

So far he has been able to do just that with his new single “No Matter What.” Not only does he do him by reminding people that he’s still the King of the South, he also encourages his listeners by using his life as an example.

His CD is not the only way that T.I. intends to inspire, educate, and enlighten people. As a part of his sentence he has to do community service. Last night on BET he had a candid interview with Toure and a group of at risk students, where he talked about his life and future.

"I must be a man and stand up and accept responsibility," T.I. said. "I exercised extremely poor judgment, and for that, I must be willing to pay whatever price that comes before me."
Paper Trail is set to hit stores August 12th…

Nick and Mariah Cannon Their Love Story Gets Interesting by the DAY

This week People magazine told the world that Nick and Mariah were married. Yesterday Oprah told us that Mariah has Mrs. Cannon tatted on her. And now Mariah tells us: “We really do feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me.”

Well…well…well…we thought she would get her a boo one of these days but Nick Cannon. Now that’s interesting.

Kelly Tries to Postpone His Trial

Kelly is trying to add more time to his trial that took 6 years to make it to court. His attorney’s have filed a motion to temporarily shelve the trial that is set to begin this Friday May 8th. And the reason the motion states for shelving the trial is there’s “too much publicity around the case.” HELLOOOOOOOO its R. Kelly!!!! No matter when they have the trial there’s going to be too much publicity. Come on Kel’s get it together and stop running from your judgment day.

If the 40 year old Kelly, who’s being tried for making a sex tape with a 13 year old, is found guilty he faces up to 15 years in jail. But it’s highly unlikely that the prosecutor will have enough evidence to bring a case against him. Especially since the only person who claims there was a sexual encounter is some random woman who claims she had a threesome with Kelly and the 13 year old. Both Kelly and the girl who was on the tape claim that it wasn’t them. Well we will see how this turns out but it’s more than likely that his trial will start on Friday.

This Douche Bag Gets Arrested Again

Today police arrested Grammy award winner Amy Winehouse on suspicion of drug possession. Now did they really have to guess that this douche bag had some drugs on her, in her, or somewhere in that beehive of hers?.

Winehouse’s spokesman Chris Goodman issued a statement saying, "Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is cooperating fully with inquiries. The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year.

Winehouse get it together!!!

Beyonce Makes an Appearance on the Heart of the City Tour

Kobe is the MVP

After 12 years in the league Kobe gets the recognition that he deserves. Check out what he had to say:

“I couldn’t have won without my players, my teammates. This is a team award. This is not an individual award. This is an award I couldn’t have won on my own. If that was the case I would’ve won when I was averaging 40,” He laughs and continues. “This gets done because we all do it as a union. I can’t thank these guys enough. These are my guys, these are my brothers. Let’s get ready for tomorrow.” ” Bryant said as the Staples Center crowd of 18,997 roared its approval and chanted M-V-P. “I love you guys so much. We’re going to play until June. Let’s get this party started.”

Keisha’s Going Commercial

Our girl Keisha Cole has recently been named the face of Luster’s new line of products. The line is called Luster’s Pink Brand Smooth Touch and Keisha’s face will be used to endorse some relaxerkits.

Here’s what the President of Jory Luster had to say: “When we were thinking about the image and benefits of Smooth Touch, Keyshia Cole was a perfect choice. It was important to us to work with someone who already had success and visibility, but also could relate to our target and be someone they would want to emulate. Keyshia is young, talented, beautiful and has an electric personality. She’s perfectly represents the woman who uses Smooth Touch products.”

If you wear box perms…we don’t…make sure you go get yours they will be out this summer.
