Well, not quite...

New Music: Elephant Man featuring Rihanna - "Throw Ur Hands Up"

Apparently Elephant Man is now with Bad Boy....may his career rest in peace. This song is supposedly a leak from his upcoming LP, Let's Get Physical, which comes out this November. It's a cool track...typical Elephant Man stuff but cool nonetheless. And Common's new girlfriend sounds good too. Check it out.

Yung Berg featuring Junior, Jim Jones and Rich Boy - "Sexy Lady (Remix)"



New Couple Alert!!!

Yup...word on the street is that Common and Rihanna are seeing each other. Apparently they met at the Beckhams welcome party and it's pretty much been on ever since. He's 35, she's 19...but you know what? I'd do the exact same thing if I were in his position. As long as she's legal it's okay. Chuch (and hats off to Common).

Tyra Banks was seen taping a segment for the new season of her talk show in Times Square.

Little Drops Of Water...

Word is that Ursher's wedding is still on....of course, on a later date. Apparently they're "really in love" and what not. Oh and Tameka had a "scare" or something like that...she's doing okay now though.



Star Jones revealed that she had gastric bypass surgery. No. Shit.

Good Morning To You

I don't know if you noticed, but I've never made a post about the Michael Vick case. For many reasons, I have deliberately neglected that story. However, today, I will make an exception.

CNN anchor Larry Smith (the man pictured above) was reporting on the case the other day. Here's what he had to say...

"Keep in mind, too, that while Kobe Bryant is a situation we can sort of compare this to, this really is much worse. Not only can you argue that the crimes are much worse in terms of, you know, killing dogs and that kind of thing."

Lil' Troy Responds To Pimp C

Yes, much like Pimp C himself, I know you might not be completely sure who he is. He had a minor hit back in the day but that's besides the point...as you might remember, Pimp C had something to say about everybody (including Lil' Troy) in his interview in the latest issue of Ozone Magazine. Well, here's what Lil' Troy has to say about it.



Yes, I know...he needs subtitles.

Cool video. Eve does some choreographed dancing which was pretty nice. It's a typical dance hall video though...you know, dark blue luminous type of scene...then the dim light against red background scene...lol, you'll see what I mean. It's still a good video though. Check it out.

You Know What?

Just read...

SANFORD, Fla. -- The family of a 7-year-old boy in Sanford who was rushed to an emergency room after he accidentally swallowed his "grill" -- or decorative metal mouth piece -- is concerned because the apparatus remains in his stomach.

Bobby Tedesco placed the grill over the teeth after his mother purchased it for $10 at a flea market.

Bobby said the grill fell out off his teeth and he started choking on it. His mother, Dawn Tedesco, attempted to clear his throat, but he swallowed the grill.

An X-ray taken three days after incident showed the grill in Bobby's stomach.


Doctors said there is only one way for the grill to exit.

"Once they X-rayed it, they said they saw it in his stomach (and) that it should pass in one to three days. But now we're going on the third day and still no grill, so I'm a little concerned about what's going to happen," Dawn Tedesco said.

Bobby's mother said she regrets purchasing the grill and warned other parents to beware of the hazard they can present.

"I think everybody should know (not to) buy them. Don't do it," Dawn Tedesco said.

The grill did come with a warning, advising parents to supervise children under the age of 12 who wear the apparatuses.

The American Dental Association does not recommend the wearing of grills, saying they can store bacteria. (no shit, Sherlock -- RichBoi88)

Well folks...it's looking like a really slow news day...it's seems I posted it all over the weekend. What can we do?

Of course, I took it upon myself to provide you with an alternative. Thank me later.

...Y'all See This N---a?

LOL Okay lemme stop. But please feast your eyes on the following quote from Mo'Nique in defense of the N-word:

"Do I use the word n$#@%r? Yes, in my comedy routine and in life because it's our word. Here's the thing. We need to stop giving people the power over that word. We take it and turn it around to make it beautiful. You see, they gave us that word back then. They called us n$#@%r back then."

"So yes, I hold on to it. And I say it to the n$#@%rs, keep doing your thing with pride and honor. Look how we overcame. Her name is Oprah Winfrey. His name is Shawn Carter. Her name is Condoleezza Rice. Look at them n$#@%rs."

Usher Runs To His Momma

Word is that Ursh got smart at the very last minute and realized he couldn't go through with his wedding without his mom. He is said to have taken a flight to Atlanta to make peace with her...apparently Tameka wasn't cool with this and was seen cussin' up a storm. It is also reported that the cancellation of the wedding did, in fact, have something to do with the National Enquirer story, the criminal record, and all the other negative stuff in the media as of late.

There really aren't any new revelations concerning the situation (like whehter or not they're still together). But for more on this story, head over to the NY Daily News website.

Random Pics: Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, Diddy & More [UPDATED]

Britney Spears recently shot the video for her upcoming single, "Get Back". Word is that she had a meltdown on the set of this video shoot. If it were up to me, I would have her wait 'til that calabash belly is put in order before shooting a video. That's just me...



Ashanti was spotted in Manhattan a few days ago.



Kim Kardashian was at the Stuff Magazine Music Issue Weekend Party at Tao Las Vegas yesterday.



Diddy was vacationing on the French Riviera this past week. Apparently his status there is not quite A-list.

Logan Browning and Niecy Nash were at the Lions Gate Films premiere of "Bratz" at Pacific Theatres yesterday in LA.

Sean Kingston

It kills me to say this...but this kid's album (Sean Kingston) is pretty good. Below are some of its tracks. I didn't post the entire album simply because some of the songs like "There's Nothing" and "Got No Shorty" leaked a while ago and you probably already have them (I actually posted the former two days ago). I am not reviewing all songs individually so I'll just put my stamp of approval [BBB] beside the tracks that I think are really good. Check 'em out.


"Drummer Boy"

"Take You There"

"Change" [BBB]

"Your Sister"

"Dry Your Eyes"[BBB]

"That Ain't Right"[BBB]

An Old Favorite

With all the Usher news right now, I thought it would be a perfect time to post one of my favorite Usher jams. This is his first US #1, "Nice & Slow". It features a famous face that wasn't so famous at the time. Ten bucks and a cookie to anyone who can tell me who I'm talking about. Enjoy the video.

More Rumors...

Another day, another rumor (or three) about Usher and Tameka....word is that Usher's mom had something to do with the wedding being called off. As you might remember, I reported that she wasn't invited to the event. However, word is that an invitation was extended to her at the last minute....she declined.

There are other rumors such as Tameka not wanting to sign a prenup (!!!), and the couple not agreeing on the size of the wedding. Apparently Tameka wanted a backyard barbecue....no comment.

And then there is the rumor that this is all a publicity stunt. Considering the fact that he has an album coming out in about three-and-a-half months (which means the first single is brewing), that doesn't sound too far-fetched. Nothing is known for sure but be sure to check back for updates on this. Chuch.

Weekly Poll

Yes, yes...yes, indeed...I've now added a poll to the blog. I intend on renewing it every week but I can't make any promises on that. This week's question is...

Are you happy that Usher and Tameka Foster may no longer be getting married?
Yes, I know...it's an obvious one but we have to start from somewhere. Don't forget to vote..if you don't, the terrorists have won.

Rumors, Rumors, Rumors... [UPDATED]

By now, you've probably read that the wedding's cancellation was related to the National Enquirer story, the criminal record, and a whole bunch of other stuff. And now, I'm gonna throw another one in the mix...Do you remember the rumor about the baby Tameka's carrying belonging to her ex? Well, naturally, a "source" is telling me that that's why the wedding was called off. Apparently, Usher found out. You can never tell with these "sources" so please don't run with this one.

Below is a scan of the infamous National Enquirer article...

Yup...it turns out that Usher's wedding has been CANCELLED. Word is that they may not even be a couple anymore.

This story is still developing so check back for more info.

Going To Bed...

But before I go, I must share this story with you..okay so I was at work when the Obama scans came in. I open them and this caucasian girl I work with (who kinda acts "black") sees them on my monitor and goes "who's that?". I turn to look at her expecting a "just kidding" and subsequent laughter but no...she was being serious. She then reads the headline "It's Obama time?...who's Obama?". At this point my heart is palpitating...so I ask, "You've never heard the name Barack Obama??".

Brace yourselves.

This young lady replies "Oh yeah, I think I've heard that name before"...then says, and I quote, "he's some peace...activist...black supremacist?". At this point, I was hoping someone would come and tell me I was on Planet Jupiter so it would be easier for me to make sense of the situation.

In order not to come off as angry, I decided to change the subject completely (and abruptly). If I had to address what was just said, I would've hurt her feelings and have her and ignorant others thinking of me as some peace activist black supremacist...and I don't want that. As an homage to the ignorance of my dear coworker, I present to you the following video. Enjoy.

Guess Who's Going To Jail?

Yup, another young Hollywood starlet! Nicole Richie has been sentenced to four days behind bars for her DUI a couple of months ago. She was on lockdown for six hours the day she was busted so she will only serve three. I think she got a pretty deal. Hopefully all this recent jail time could serve as an example to the dumb broads that look up to these women. Chuch.

Kevin Michael featuring Wyclef Jean - “It Don’t Make Any Difference To Me (Remix)”

This kid is being hyped as the next big thing in the industry. If he can continue putting out this level of music, then that just might be true. I can kinda see him being a Mariah Carey type though...you know, always whining about how tough it was growing up mixed. Lol, let me stop. Watch the video.



I thought I'd check out the original version again after hearing the remix. They're not that much different, but I think the original is slightly better. Check it out.



Lindsay Might Be Innocent After All

Well, at least innocent of the DUI charges. An audio clip of the 911 call that was made before she was arrested indicates that a man was driving the white Denali, not Lindsay. However, this still does not explain the white in her back pocket. Hopefully all of this works out in her favor 'cause I really don't want to see her go down...well, maybe I do (LOL).

More On Tameka Foster's Past

What you're looking at is apparently part of Tameka foster's criminal records. She has been arrested twice; for petty theft and welfare fraud. According to, ahem, The National Enquirer, all of this information is being revealed by her sister, Valencia Foster.

Word is that Tameka's not letting her mom come to her wedding 'cause she lost her false teeth (LOL). Apparently Tameka refused to get new ones for her 'cause she felt like she was neglected as a child. Whether or not any of this stuff is true, the constant rumors are a sign that this marriage might not work out. Good luck to both of them though.

Keepin' It Funky: Pimp C Edition

AllHipHop.com has posted some excerpts from Pimp C's interview in the upcoming issue of Ozone Magazine. Let's just say he's calling people out left, right and center. Brace yourself...

On Russell Simmons:

“I just made peace with the lil n***a Short Dawg cause on the cool, it really wasn’t his fault. It was ol’ d**k-in-the-booty-Russell Simmons fault for not taking the message back to him and telling him to change his name. Yeah, I said ‘d**k-in-the-booty.’ I know what I’m talking about. B***h, I’ll air you out too.”


On Atlanta:

“Atlanta is not the South. Atlanta is not the South, gotdamn it, when you go to Atlanta what does your clock say? When you get off the plane from Los Angeles or Texas, what time do it be over there? Atlanta is East Coast time. You n***as ain’t in the South.”


About Lil‘ Troy:

“He’s a f**king b***h, and I said it. I’ve been knowing he’s a b***h, but I ain’t gotta talk about no n***a when everybody knows you’re a b***h and you’re hiding.”


On rappers with a lot of jewels like Mike Jones and Lil‘ Flip:

“Them big ol’ plates they be wearing that look like dinner plates? Them diamonds are monkey. You need to take that monkey shit back cause you embarrassing us.”


On some D-Boys that used to be down with Meech:

"All y’all n***as talking about selling dope? If y’all n***as was some d-boys, guess what, man? I don’t believe you n***as no more cause I’m seeing you n***as in button up shirts getting cute and pretty trying to look sexy. N***a, f**k you. N***a, and I ain’t gotta say your name. Play with me and I’ll expose the n***as that was wearing backpacks with their pant leg rolled up back then in Atlanta when me and Big Meech used to be off in the club kickin’ it buying each other champagne.”


Even Ne-Yo got some of the wrath!

“I ain’t out here dressing up trying to be sexy licking my lips like old gay a** Ne-Yo. Licking lips and shit, n***a. Pussy d**k in the booty a** n***a wearing all that gotdamn lipgloss at their video shoots and letting n***as put makeup on their face. Yeah, I said Ne-Yo, you heard what the f**k I said. N***as putting all that lip gloss on they f**kin’ lips looking like they’ve just been eating a pork chop sandwich with no hands.”


LMAO! Sigh...For more hilarity, listen to a radio interview he had about this interview.

PS: What happened to the "super" label with Apple?

"Yes. I am innocent... did not do drugs they're not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin's mom. I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy."

Hmm...no comment.

However, it's being reported that Lindsay may have been chased too. Other sources claim that she got into a fight with Samantha Ronson, her lesbian friend, before the DUI incident. Apparently Samantha threatened to expose her drug/alcohol use and her being a lesbian. This shit would make a great TV show.

Random Pics: Jay-Z & Beyonce, J.Lo & Marc Anthony, Lindsay Lohan, Brad & Angelina, Venus Williams & More [UPDATED]

Jay-Z, Beyonce and Solange were spotted at the Setai Hotel yesterday in Miami. As you might remember, that's the same hotel where she allegedly hooked up with LeBron James.



This is pic is from their arrival in Puerto Rico, where the "El Cantante" premiere was.



Okay so this isn't Lindsay....but, however, it's a pic of her wax figure at Madame Tussauds in NYC. It's kinda funny, but kinda not. They shoulda given it a week or two but whatever.



Brad & Angelina were seen boarding their private jet with their kids earlier today in Angouleme, France.



Sean Kingston was at Nickelodeon's 'Slime Across America' at the South Street Seaport earlier today in NYC. Yipee.



Sean Kingston was also at MTV's Sucker Free earlier today. (This kid's fucking ugly)

Little Drops Of Water Make The Mighty Ocean...

As I reported earlier, Lindsay was in a car chase right before she got busted. She was chasing her personal assistant (who had just quit) and her mother, who reportedly called the cops on Lindsay.

Lindsay has reportedly checked into an undiclosed rehabilitation center and cancelled her appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno later today. TMZ reports that she could be looking at six years in jail. Pray for Lindsay.



Yung Joc is apparently going around claiming he waxed Rihanna and Mariah Carey. You and I know that is not true.



AllHipHop.com reports that several publishers have approached Kim Porter for a Diddy tell-all. I can definitely see her agreeing to such.



Bow Wow and JD are apparently not talking. He wasn't at JD's Summer Fest so I guess this could be true. I don't give a shit either.



Tupac's mom, Afeni Shakur, has filed an injunction against Death Row for holding on to some of Tupac's unreleased tracks.



Ja and Lil' Wayne have posted bail and are now free. Apparently Ja Rule plugged his album in the midst of all of this. Desperate times call for desperate measures.



Word is that Usher isn't inviting his mom to his wedding, which is taking place this weekend at L.A. Reid's house in the Hamptons. Maneka's nana must be serious.



Mos Def and Susan Sarandon are the Honorary Co-Chairs at the 4th Annual Children's Sports & Fitness Expo which takes place this September in New York.



It's starting to look like R. Kelly's trial may happen after all.

The Mugshot [UPDATED]

Apparently Lindsay was chasing her personal assistant's mom? I'm not sure...was watching CNN and that's what it sounded like the lady said but that sounds crazy so I'll wait for more details. Until then, bask in the unbridled sexiness of Lindsay Lohan's mugshot.

UPDATE: Lindsay was, in fact, chasing her personal assistant's mom. The lady on CNN said it again and this time I heard her loud and clear. Details coming up.

Lindsay Lohan Arrested For DUI....AGAIN [UPDATED]

Yup...you read that right...Lindsay Lohan was busted earlier this morning in Santa Monica, CA for driving under the influence. It is reported that cocaine was found in her back pocket and she had a blood alcohol level between .12 and .13, well over the .08 legal limit.

Apparently, cops got a call about a car chase; Lindsay, who was driving a white Denali, was chasing an Escalade. Right now, Lindsay is still behind bars but bail is said to be set at $25,000.

I'll keep you posted on this.


UPDATE: Lindsay has posted bail and is now free to get another DUI.

More heat from Finding Forever. Check it out.

Common - "The Game"

Common featuring Will.I.Am - "I Want You"

Ja Rule featuring Lil' Wayne - "Uh Oh"

I am now positive that their simultaneous arrests were just part of one big publicity stunt. Enjoy the video.



Ja Rule & Lil' Wayne Arrested...

Hmm...I smell a slight publicity stunt. You be the judge:

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Hip hop artists Lil Wayne and Ja Rule were arrested Sunday evening after a concert in Manhattan on charges of criminal possession of weapons, each in separate incidents, a New York Police Department spokesman told CNN.

Police say officers pulled over a speeding car around 10:37 p.m. on the Upper West Side carrying Ja Rule and two others.

They also recovered a .40-caliber pistol from the vehicle.

About an hour later Lil Wayne was arrested after officers caught him and another man smoking marijuana on the street.

They found a .40-caliber pistol in his possession.

Lil Wayne's real name is Dwayne Carter and Ja Rule's is Jeff Atkins. Both are best-selling rap artists.


CNN.com
It's so funny how these people get arrested when they have new albums coming out. And getting caught smoking weed in the street when you know you're not anonymous sounds like you were looking to get arrested. You know what?....fuck it.

According to InTouch Weekly, Tameka yelled, "Doesn't your boyfriend have a mom you can visit?", to which Chilli responds by asking her to grow up and then walks out laughing.

For those who don't know, the boyfriend Tameka was referring to is CNN anchor TJ Holmes, who's been dating Chilli for a while now. To read the scan from InTouch Weekly, click here.

Rumor: Hoopz Will Be On 2nd Season Of Charm School

Word on the street is that Flavor Of Love winner Nicole Alexander aka Hoopz will be on the next season of Charm School. Don't quote me on this because there have also been rumors that the 2nd season of Charm School will feature the guys of I Love New York. At this point, there's really no telling if there would be a 2nd season at all.

Anyways, if they ever do a Charm School for celebrities, I think she should sign up for it.

Khia Shamone Finch: Hip-Hop Philosopher

I was over at my idol's blog when I discovered that rapper Khia has an advice column in Hood Magazine(??!??!?). Sigh...the name of the magazine is a conversation in itself but right now we want to focus on the following letter that was sent to Khia...

Khia help me I been with this girl faithfully for 7 months and she havent let me glance at the pussy. I havent felt no titties or nothing what am I doing wrong. Shes not a virgin she got two girls. I don't know how much longer I can wait. The hardest part is she always wearing short shit, and khia she got a big gurilla ass. Please help me!

-Mike (Houston, TX)


In response, Khia wrote...
What's really Hood Mike? This sounds like some Jerry Springer shit, 7 months without even a glance at the pussy what is that about, you sure she's not a man? I know you said she has two kids but damn are they her's? You know there's a lot of punks out here getting ass shots and tittie jobs but for real you say you ain't feel no ass, titties or nothing. What is she saying about this because something in the milk ain't clean. What is she telling you when you try and get some, damn I'm lost for words. Well all I can say is if you really care about her talk to her and find out what's really going on and why she's holding back. Tell her your needs as a man and let her know how you feel cause shit she's going to have to drop them panties sooner or later and I hope she ain't hiding a dick under there. Shit maybe she's waiting for marriage this time you say she has two kids already, maybe she wants to do it right this time and if so you better start shopping for a ring or move...Next!!!!!

Kim Kardashian is gonna take it all off in an upcoming issue of Playboy magazine (shouldn't be too difficult for her). It is reported that famed music video director Hype Williams is gonna be behind the camera. Lucky man.

T.I., Ciara & Friends Visit 106 & Park

The Screamfest performers were on 106 yesterday to promote the tour. Pics below.





Chingy featuring Ludacris, Small World and Steph Jones - "Celebrity Chick"

As you might remember, I posted some stills from this video a little while ago. Now we have the video. It's an okay song. Check it out.



Random Pics: Iman, Keyshia Cole, Bobby Brown, Lily Allen

Iman hosted Trace Magazine's "Black Girls Rule!" party at Room Service yesterday in NYC.



Keyshia Cole hosted an album release party at Prive in Miami recently.



Bobby Brown and his new girl were spotted arriving in Australia. (Pic taken from C&D)



Lily Allen performed at the Eden Project in St. Austell, England yesterday.

It's All About Suge...

So it turns out that Kevin Connolly (the caucasian man up there^) was play-fighting with Suge Knight at LeBron James' ESPY Awards after party last week when, playfully (of course), Suge BIT HIS FINGER. Excuse me but I.....you know what?.....fuck it...Kevin, who was bleeding, did nothing about it (good idea). Afterwards, Paris Hilton was seen given Suge a lap dance.

Soooo many questions can be raised from the above but I'll leave that up to you.

Kanye Responds To Beanie Sigel

Okay so most of you probably heard about Beanie Sigel calling Kanye and Pharrell gay due to their fashion choices. Well, the Louis Vuitton Don addresses what was said in his latest interview with Angie Martinez. Further down, there's a pic of what's apparently the album cover for Graduation as well as pics from a Jam Session Hot97 hosted yesterday.

Listen to Kanye's response

Justin Timberlake Brings Southern Hospitality To New York

JT opened his new restaurant, Southern Hospitality, in NYC a few hours ago. Pics below.


Justin Timberlake; Al Sharpton; Sherri Saum; Seth Green


Olivia Palermo; Jamie-Lynn Sigler; Derek Ward with a guest; JT with friends


Am I wrong for thinking Al Sharpton's attendance is a little odd?


I Knew Something Was Up...

The so-called promo pic I presented to you earlier was just the work of a fan messing around with the Gisele ad below...

Looking back at the pic, it's now obvious hat the size of Mariah's head doesn't quite fit the size of the body. I'll admit...they had me fooled.

New Music

Common featuring Lily Allen - "Driving Me Wild"

This song is absolute fire. Simple and short. Nothing else needs to be said. Check it out.

Listen/Download



Sean Paul - "Pick It Up And Drop It"

It's your usual Sean Paul: not bad, but nothing great. The beat sounds a lot like Rihanna's "Break It Off" (on which he is featured). Check it out for yourself.

Listen/Download



Freekey Zekey featuring Cam'Ron & Juelz Santana - "Daddy's Back"

Yes, I know, Dipset is not what it used to be. However, this track is pretty hot. It's really laid back and all three rappers give great performances. Check it out.

Listen/Download

David Banner featuring Akon, Lil' Wayne and Snoop Dogg - "9mm"

Pretty decent track. Wasn't paying attention so I can't tell you much about the video. Check it out for yourself.



Joss Stone Ridicules Perez Hilton

This is the funniest video I've seen in a while. She's a pretty good actress btw. Check it out.

It's Over

I've been informed that Vibe Vixen is going to be shut down in the near future. This may leave a bunch of people without jobs. If and when this does happen, remember: YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

You Lyin'

What you're looking at is the promo pic for Mariah's new fragrance, M by Mariah Carey. Now, Mimi, you're a beautiful woman by all standards. But the games must end here. Stop having your body photoshopped to a size 0 when you're really a size 6. Thank you.

Gary Dourdan Lays Paparazzo Out

CSI's Gary Dourdan seemed to be in a bad mood when he ran into one of TMZ's photographers. He asked the photog to turn off the camera, and when the photog didn't comply, he had is ass handed to him. Below is a video from the incident. It doesn't show much because the camera had dropped to the floor while Gary was giving the beatdown, but you can hear what's going on. Check it out.
