Bishop Weeks is Scheduled to Preach Sunday's Easter Service

After choking, pushing and kicking his soon-to-be ex-wife, Juanita Bynum, he apologized to her and his congregation for the angry rage he went on. It seems like his apologies worked because Bynum was merciful to him and asked the D.A. to not convict. Even though he wasn't convicted he was given 3 years probation and 200 hours of community service. Not only was Bynum receptive of his apologies it also looks like his congregation was too. According to AJC.com, Weeks will be back in the pulpit preaching Sunday's Easter Service.

We wonder what he's going to preach about... "The Importance of Forgiveness" would be a great subject. Whatever happens, if you do go, PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASEEEEE don't stir up that angry streak.

Mike Epps Turns Down a Job that Might Lead to a HUGE Reward


An Atlanta woman is trying to cast Comedian Mike Epps in one of the biggest roles that he may ever play, but according to her lawyer he has denied the job. If you think we're talking about "Resident Evil- the Resurrection" guess again!!!! He's turned down the opportunity to star in the melo-dramatic series of "Are You the Daddy- the Paternity Test Edition." That's right Mike Epps is REFUSING to take a paternity test to determine if he's the father of a child who was born in December of 2007. Because he refuses to cooperate the mother has hit him with a paternity suit.


We hope she's right about him being the babby's daddy because if she isn't... Mike Epps might name his next tour "I told you it ain't mine- I Love my Wife." Either way we will keep you posted on what the results are.

Lebron Receives Bad Reviews for His Vogue Cover


I bet LeBron James was thinking what NOW when he read the column by ESPN writer Jemele Hill. Hill, like others, found his most recent cover on Vogue magazine to be stereotypical. For those of you who haven't seen it, it's the one to the left, and it's of James and supermodel Gisele Bundchen. The goal of Vogue in having James, the FIRST black man to grace the cover, was to show the contrast between super-athletes and super-models. Some people, however, had contrary feelings to the resulting visual image. Below is what Hill from ESPN.com had to say:

"Now, maybe the point was to show the contrast between brawn and beauty, masculinity versus femininity, strength versus grace. But Vogue's quest to highlight the differences between superstar athletes and supermodels only successfully reinforces the animalistic stereotypes frequently associated with black athletes. A black athlete being reduced to a savage is, sadly, nothing new. But this cover gave you the double-bonus of having LeBron and Gisele strike poses that others in the blogosphere have noted draw a striking resemblance to the racially charged image of King Kong enveloping his very fair-skinned lady love interest."


~Now, that's called really thinking about the situation...is the picture really that bad?~

Laila Ali Says Good-Bye to Boxing- Check Out What Her Next Move Is


Laila Ali is retiring her gloves and trading them in for a reality show- and NO we're not talking about a second stint on Dancing With Stars. After almost winning the dance competition, Ali has become a regular in the homes of America. From being on the CBS Morning Show to co-hosting American Gladiator, she has found a new passion in being on the big screen. Her new show, however, is one with a deeper purpose. She is currently working on a new Nickelodeon show called "The N's Student Body." This show follows a group of teens who are changing their lives by dieting, exercising, volunteering, and improving their academics.

When speaking with VOA News, Ali explained that the teens really look up to her. "Every time I make an appearance, I'm always going to be a positive person, just a role model. I've been doing that since I first became a public person."


And when asked the GOLDEN question of will she return to the ring she replied: "I got bored with boxing. You can't fight forever. You get older... I want to do other things."


~It's good that the "other things" she's doing includes helping today's youth because that is one hard fight to take on- Great job Ms. Laila~

Movie Revue- "Meet the Browns"

On a scale of 1-10 I would give it an 8.5. The acting from the actors who had major movie experience was GREAT…but those who were new or getting warmed up to the big screen were just okay. The plot was good; there were some moments where I knew what would occur next and others where I was left guessing. My favorite character was Leroy Brown (the one who is always dressed SUPER tacky on Tyler Perry movies) he was hilarious. His character alone kept me laughing throughout the entire movie. I don’t want to spoil it for those of you who haven’t seen it so I will stop there…go and check it out for yourself, I feel like I got my money’s worth hopefully you will feel the same.

Also- If you are a HUGE Madea fan and only go to see her (or should I say him-IDK)…this might not be your Tyler Perry pick. She shows up but very briefly. But if it’s comedy that you’re looking for don’t worry LEROY BROWN takes care of that.

T.I. Gets an Easter Break

Atlanta rapper T.I. is currently under house arrest while he awaits his trial on weapons charges. BUT he received good news from a Federal Magistrate Judge on Thursday…he’s getting an Easter Break. According to PEOPLE the Judge has given him permission to go to church on Sunday. T.I. can attend Easter services from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.



Get out you Easter Suit Boo... I know you will cherish and appreciate every second of your five hours of freedom!!!

Is There Racism in Women's Tennis- Mr. Williams Speaks Out

In a recent interview in Bangladore, India Venus and Serena’s father spoke about modern day racism in tennis. He told the Deccan Herald that he doesn’t “think Venus or Serena [were] ever accepted by tennis [and] they never will be.” While he attributed some of the unfairness to the Women’s Tennis Association his main focus seemed to be on the media. He believes the media treats his daughters unfairly and that it was “the worst media job that they have done on any human being in the world…if he were Venus or Serena he would have quit playing.” Larry Scott, the head of the Women’s Tennis Association denies Mr. Williams statements…

We Hope Rhianna Isn't Looking for Marriage....Cause She Just Might be the JUMP-OFF


For some unknown reason, Chris Brown and Rhianna honestly believe that they have been able to hide their "secret" relationship. Brown, however, claims that the secret and the relationship are both wrong because he is still SINGLE. In a recent interview with MTV Chris down plays his Relationship...oops... Friendship with a certain female. Here's what he had to say:


"(From) a relationship standpoint I am a single guy, I am definitely single. I've been on my website and seeing how girls have been threatening me and saying I'm a liar and I'm like it's not even that... I have a close friend but it’s not like a relationship, I’m not trying to settle down, I’m only 18 so I’m just trying to live my life and have fun."

Well we hope Rhianna feels the same. But we all know that Chris Brown should have known he moved out the friendship circle when Rhianna invited him to Barbados to meet the fam...poor Rhianna. Keep your head up girl maybe you can change his mind!!!!

Is Rocko Monica's Baby Daddy????

The rumor mill is soaring... At one point we heard that Rocko and Monica were cousins. BUT the latest rumor is that Rocko is her Baby's Father. Maybe that would explain their closeness and why they showed up at his record release party together!!!! We will keep you posted on whether this is TRUE or not...

50CENTTOUR

This Crackhead....

Rehab can't help Amy Winehouse...she looks BAD!!! Recently she posed naked for an awarness campaign. From being able to see her rib cage to her stringy unkept hair, Winehouse is a walking sculpture of what you don't want to look like. What's even worse is the campaign that she posed naked for was a breast cancer awarness campaign. If Amy Winehouse were to pose naked for anything it should have been a campaign that highlights the affects of smoking that pipe, snorting vodka flambes, and injecting heroine through your toes. I guess some organizations will take whatever celebrity they can get, even if they are a CRACKHEAD.

It's Official She's A Star --- Angela Basset Finally Gets Her Well Awaited STAR!!



Move Over Kim K...There's a New Sex Tape in Town

Rumors are soaring that Lindsay Lohan is the next sex tape superstar. Sources tell us that there has been a sex tape of Lindsay serving her ex-boo up something nice. Last summer she was spotted all over with her ex Calum Best. And boy did he get the Best out of this relationship. Not only did he reap the benefits of her sexual act-he also taped it and sent it out to friends. Lohan claims that she doesn't remember recording herself performing sexual acts...BUT hey she was a semi-alcoholic last summer so there's no telling what she doesn't remember. One things for sure, neither Lohan or Best have confirmed or denied the rumors.


If it is true maybe Best will pull a K-Fed/Ray-J move. He can write a song about the experience that might be premiered during half-time of Super Bowl 2009. Now that would be getting the BEST out of a situation!!!

Is Mariah the Modern Day Mary Poppins?

In the April edition of Allure, Mariah Carey talks about her body, her career, and living like Mary Poppins. Yup...you read it right. Carey proclaims that she is the modern day Poppins. As it just so happens, she wasn't talking about her and Poppins sharing the same wardrobe or personal stylist. She admits that she enjoys dressing sexy...BUT according to Carey that's as far as it goes-when it comes to her actions she claims she's as prude as Poppins! Like Poppins, she has never had a one-night stand and she feels that she's an example of what a polished woman should be.


Hmmmmmmm..... I'm not sure how I feel about that Mariah. Were you just telling Allure what you thought they wanted to hear? Well if she graces the cover of Maxim again maybe she will compare herself to someone more Maximish....maybe then she will be the 37 year old version of Kim K? Who know's...but if all else fails I'm sure she will reveal a new alter ego on her album E=MC2 which is schedueled to drop on April 15th.

ROCKO's ALBUM RELEASE PARTY EXCLUSIVE!!


















Fans gathered from all around A-town as Rocko celebrated the release of his new album SelfMade. It hit stores Tuesday, March 18, 2008 and G-Spot was there for all the details. Rodney “Rocko” Hill is an Atlanta native that has been on the grind for years with ghostwriting and producing gigs. He established his first record company Rocky Road Records in 2002 in addition to helping with long-time friend Young Dro’s success. Displaying the perfect example of patience is a virtue, the buzz of Rocko’s mixtape Swag Season in 2007 brought him to the forefront. Now his hit single “Umma Do Me” is blazing all over radio and television, so this may be just the beginning of a great new artist.

Brittney's Daddy is The New Repo Man in Her Life


Brittney's daddy may as well be referred to as the repo man. PEOPLE.com recently reported that on Monday a court granted her father the power to "sell or dispose of" an undisclosed number of her seven cars. Apparently, the cost of maintaining a fleet of vehicles was too expensive for her dad. By selling some of her cars it will bring down the expense of keeping up the estate. Of her seven cars she owns two white Mercedes (a SL65 and a CLK350), a white Mini Cooper convertible, and a black Audi. One of the court's spokesmen also clarified that Brittney's weekly allowance of $1500 "is not her only source of (personal) income." Her father and a lawyer will continue to control her affairs until the July 31st hearing. Poor Brittney...she sure is reverting back to her teenage days (Daddy's controlling the whips and she's on an allowance.) Must be hard for the pop-star.

Whoa! A must see...CHECK OUT THESE NEW WEST INDIAN DANCES

ACTRESS LAUREN LONDON IN JEWEL MAGAZINE


The cute and oh so adorable Lauren London graces the latest issue of Jewel magazine and for someone whose so young, she dropped a load of knowledge so deep it would stun a 50-year-old. She's what old folks would refer to as someone with an 'old soul.' The actress talked candidly about various subjects in her life: her acting career, her heartbreak from her on-again/off-again boyfriend, what she looks for in a man, her worst fears, her home-imprisoned ATL co-star T.I., why she's so freaking frugal, gossip and rumors (being linked to Omarion, Nick Cannon and another ATL co-star, actor Jackie Long), and the love of her life--her newborn goddaughter, Liris. Truth be told; this girl can honestly be considered as an urban version of the girl-next-door, dimples and all. Needless to say, her feature story was indeed entertaining intriguing and mind-opening. By the time I finished the three and a half page interview, I'd gained a new respect for the 23-year-old Los Angeles native and former video girl. To get the real deal on London, go and pick up a copy of this issue today.

Allen Iverson returns to Philly!


Allen Iverson planted a kiss on the 76ers logo at midcourt and blew imaginary ones to the fans. He showed his appreciation to his fans during his first game back in Philadelphia since he was traded to the Nuggets in December 2006. On his sneakers he had "THZPHILA." The fans responded with their own tributes. From fans being adorned in Sixers and Nuggets jerseys to holding up signs of their appreciation- the crowd showed they still love A.I. While some athletes say they don't worry about what the fans think of them, Iverson does: "I don't think there's nobody that plays this sport that don't care about what the fans think of them and think of what they gave on the basketball court."

A.I's high was brought to a bitter-sweet low when the Sixers won the game (115-113). According to Iverson, "Everything was perfect but one thing, and that was not winning the game."

Would "Meet the Browns" Get More Attention if it Were "Meet the Whites"


With "Meet the Brown's" debuting tomorrow one would think Tyler Perry would be estactic. Sorry America...HE ISN'T. But can we blame him? NO!!!!!!!!!!! In a recent interview with New York Daily News, he dished about how he feels he's overlooked by the "mainstream" media. Instead of the mainstream embracing his creative works- that explore issues that families of ALL races deal with- they have cast his work to the side. He has made it clear that he is not a one-hit wonder with the production of three great movies "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," "Madeas Family Reunion" and "Why Did I Get Married." Although he has made a financial mark in the theatre industry, he believes "that there's not the same excitement about his films as there would be with someone else." TYLER...we agree!!! Would this movie have gotten more press if it was "Meet the Whites" directed and produced by Tom Cruise. Hmmmmmmm YOU do the math America

Kimora is in love with Dijmon's HUGE.......Billboard



Kimora Lee Simmons is loving her new boo in more than one way. Yesterday Kimora spoke with PEOPLE at the lunch of her new fragrance "Fabulosity" and in standard Kimora style she boasted about her beau Dijmon. Apparently Dijmon has a new Calvin Klein underwear billboard in Hong Kong. "He's really big," was one of the many phrases Kimora used to describe this most recent work of art. She's not the only person admitting to his size, Calvin Klein representatives claim that his ad is the largest in Asia. You would think that with her recent break up with mogul Russell Simmons she would still be in denial, but she's far from that. Her new and Large Dijmon has her admiring him and all his glory (in the add he is covered with baby oil and only wears a pair of tighty whities.) After reflecting on seeing his add at the revealing ceremony in Hong Kong she boasted, "He's the biggest one in the world Honey!" Hmmmm Kimora...is it the add you're really refering to?

New Album Releases



Snoop Dogg - Ego Trippin 2008

I've already listened to a few tracks and it’s pretty obvious: this will be a big hit! If you like rap and hip hop, you simply can not miss this. It's probably a little different from the normal Snoop Dogg Album, but overall it's a pretty solid cd.




Many may find it as a surprise but based on first day sales…Making the Band winners Danity Kane WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE will be the #1 album on next week’s charts. According to HITS magazine, the record is expected to move between 250-275k.

Nahla Ariela Aubry: Halle's BABY GIRL!!!!!


On Tuesday, Halle Berry revealed the name of her 7 pound, 4 ounce baby girl to Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell. They named her Nahla Ariela Aubry. For it to be such a beautiful name, it’s hard to believe that they picked out the name just before they went to the hospital. According to Berry, it was hard to come up with a “name fot the most important person in their life.” The name does suit the newborn very well. Her middle name means Lioness of God. And she sure is being treated like a member of the royal family. Thus far, it has been reported that she has over $60,000 worth of nursery items. With such a large number they can’t even put all of them in one house, they’ve had to spread her nursery over three homes. Berry and her boo aren’t the only ones pampering young Nahla Ariela with expensive gifts, apparently stars such as Bruce Willis are also adorning her with expensive gifts from Petit Tressor’s, a chic West Hollywood store.

Not only will Nahla Ariela be the envy of all of her childhood girlfriends because her mother is THE Halle Berry, if she does in fact learn her fathers native tongue (French) she will definitely steal all the young boys hearts too. Aubry’s sister recently told People.com that she’s “glad the little one will speak French too.” Watch out America… she’s going to be a force to reckon with!!!
