Oh KeKe...
Remember KeKe Wyatt?? You know, the young lady that thinks she can sing better than Beyonce. Anyways, it turns out that she is a consistent provider of interesting quotes. Please feast your eyes on the following excerpt from a recent interview with Essence Magazine:
Essence.com: Do you identify as a Black woman?
K.W.: I am a woman. I ain’t like Tiger Woods (suuurre -- RichBoi88). The truth is I’m 25 percent Black. I claim to be Black, Native American and White. I’m all of it. If you ask me, “What are you?” I’m going to say, “I’m a woman.” I stand up for all women. I don’t care if you’re Black, White, Chinese, whatever. But I don’t know what my mama put on my birth certificate…. (Laughs)
Essence.com: So did your mom ever discuss race with you?
K.W.: I know when I was a little girl she would never let me and my brother watch movies that criticized Black people or where White people treated Black people really disgusting, like Roots. She didn’t want us to see how White people treated Black people because she probably thought we might start hating White people.
Essence.com: Was she afraid of how you and your brothers might perceive her?
K.W.: I used to tell her we’re not blind to the fact because we’re sitting there listening to people call her a “n---er lover” or accusing my daddy of being a “sell out” because he’s with a White chick. I told her she didn’t have to hide that stuff from us because we did see and hear about it, and kids did treat us differently.
Essence.com: Did she ever talk to you about the N-word?
K.W.: My mom was raised around African-American people all her life. She can cornrow and everything. All she knows is the African-American way of living, because her stepfather was Black and she was raised by his family. She will use the N-word like it’s going out of style. I say, “Mama you can’t just go around using the N-word,” and she’s like, “I don’t give a damn. I say what I want to say. N---a ain’t no color, it’s an ignorant person.”
Essence.com: But that word is still synonymous with Black folk. So you couldn’t watch Roots, but she used the N-word around you and your siblings?
K.W.: No, she doesn’t say “n---er,” she says “n---a” and says it in front of everybody, every day. She has always said it since I was a little girl. Hell, I thought my name was “n---er” for a long time (laughs). We never thought about it being a bad word.
Essence.com: Wow. So she didn’t want you to watch Roots, but she referred to you and your brother with the N-word? Do you think it’s time for her to stop using it?
K.W.: People should feel free to say what they want to say as long as they don’t use it to hurt other people. I don’t think “n---a” is a bad word. I don’t think it’s directed toward people of color. Now, the word “n---er,” if you call me that, I will kick your a-- because now you’re trying to be nasty and hurt my feelings. It depends on how you’re using it.
Essence.com: But do you really think there's enough of a distinction between the two to make exceptions?
K.W.: Yes, because back in the day they were saying it with the “er” on the end. I think it’s just like saying Negro, because the word in the dictionary it means “ignorant person.”
Essence.com: Yes, and many people still believe that “ignorant people” equals "Black people."
K.W.: At the end of the day, you’re the one who is ignorant. I don’t think people should use the word so much. I hate how everyone thinks that Black people are beneath them, even Asians, Whites and ...Mexicans. No, I’m not all Black, but I definitely stand up for the Black people. They’ve had it rough, they can’t help the fact that they’re skin is dark, or that their nose is a lil’ wider or that the curls in their hair might be tighter. I don’t think that it’s fair for people who look like me—the light skin, pointy nose and pretty hair—to think that dark-complected people are any less than them. Who am I? I’m not better than you. I breathe the same air and I bleed the same blood. Nobody is better than anybody else. We are all in this struggle called life. I think brown skin is beautiful because people like me have to lay out in the sun to try and look like you. My best friends are Black—I mean, Black-Black—and I think that’s so beautiful. I think that’s why I decided to make my children Black...I could have married a White dude and my kids probably would have looked completely White. That’s not what I wanted. Now, they can go outside and get a for-real tan (laughs). I think Black is beautiful. I stand for the African-American people until the day I die.
And peep this gem I missed from her interview with AHHA...
AHHA: How do you think being attached to that (i.e. stabbing her husband -- RichBoi88) has affected your career though?
KeKe: Actually, I hated the way that people thought of me for a while, but once I saw how many records I was starting to sell, I was like screw it. Think what you want to think! I guess women could relate to what I was saying. I don’t promote violence, but I will say stand up for you, and don’t let any man run over you. I come from a white woman, my face is too yellow. I can’t be walking around with no big ole’ bruise on my face.
The word you're looking for is "wow".
Bonus track off Graduation. Sounds like Chris Martin's voice on the chorus but apparently it features only Lupe & Pharrell. Check it out.
First it was Kanye and 50, now it's Britney Spears and Alicia Keys. Both of their albums are dropping on November 13. Should be interesting.
Usher and Tameka Foster are said to be having their official wedding ceremony this week. Of course, you're not really married 'til you do it in front of famous people.
The folks at 
Until I listened to the 
BuzzFoto apparently has 
Taken from 
...about Ashanti. He claims that he piped her and all that. He also talks about how Ashanti ditched the Inc. when times got hard. Click the link below to hear it for yourself.
Here it is! This is the so-called comeback we've all been waiting for. I'm literally a few seconds deep so I can't tell you all about it. But so far, I'd say it's a decent effort. It's called "Gimme More". Check it out.
Word is that the folks at Showtime are interested in doing a concert with Jay-Z and 50 Cent on the bill. Apparently the plan is to promote it with a boxing-match-type press conference and what not. The concert is supposed to take place in January. Yay.
The Game and Timbaland have been 
I'm a fan of Kanye West's but he really needs to stop saying shit like this...
Word is that The Dream actually wrote "Umbrella" 
Polow Da Don was interviewed by 
Toni Braxton does not have breast cancer. She released a statement addressing the rumor:
Bobby Brown claims he 
Well, according to an editor at Glamour Magazine, it is. Here's what she had to say during a presentation on the "Dos and Don'ts of Corporate Fashion" at a law firm:
Scenario: Condi is at a jewelry store looking at some earrings. She's not quite satisfied so she asks the store clerk for a nicer pair of earrings, at which point the clerk passed a sassy comment under her breath.
An Atlanta-based stripper named Promise is claiming that Nelly's the father of her child. If this is true, this would be Nelly's 3rd young'n.
Here it is! The first single for Alicia Keys' highly anticipated LP, As I Am, has finally arrived. Even though the snippet I posted 
Foxy Brown has apparently filed a lawsuit against the NY Correction Department, claiming that she is suffering on Rikers Island. I don't know if she got the memo, but I think "suffering" is supposed to be part of the experience. Suck it up.
Wonder why you didn't see Ashanti at the 
Britney Spears is being investigated for child abuse. Apparently there are allegations that she gave her kids alcohol. It seems really far-fetched but you never know with Ms. Spears.
Word is that Toni Braxton had been diagnosed with breast cancer. This is yet to be confirmed so please treat this as nothing but a rumor. If it is true, my prayers go out to her.
There is going to be a movie based on the life of Tupac's mom, Afeni Shakur. The movie, which will be called Dear Mama: The Life Story of Afeni Shakur, which focus on her time in jail and her activity with the Black Panther Party. Production is set to start in the near future. 
Yup....Rihanna is being linked with yet another entertainer. Last time it was Common, before that it was Omarion...now it's Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes. Word is that she asked to be introduced to him at a party in London. If this is, in fact, true it will be a hell of a mismatch.
Word is that Oprah is trying to have people 
Word is that Alicia Key's acting in "The Nanny Diaries" was so good that she's being considered for a role in the movie version of "Sex and the City".
Check out the following from Polow's interview with

Ne-Yo does not know why people think he's gay. Read...
The results are in...the results have been in...for a while. Anyways...it turns out that 55% of the votes were from those that believe Mel B's allegations about whether or not her and Eddie's child was planned. 45% believed Eddie. This week's poll question is...

Oprah is holding a benefit for Barack Obama...Quincy Jones is doing the same for Hilary Clinton...both events are happening on the same day!
Nicole Richie was in and out of jail in 82 minutes. Let's try that again...NICOLE RICHIE WAS IN AND OUT OF JAIL IN 82 MINUTES. While the world was focusing on Lindsay, Nicole snuck into Lynwood (jail to the stars) and was booked at 3:15pm. By 4:37pm, she was a free woman. Now that's justice. Excuse me while I sip me some liq and drive on the wrong side of the road. Who cares...I can do 82.
Lindsay Lohan is going to be serving one day in jail. Yes, one as in 1. She's also gonna be doing 10 days of community service and was put on 36 months probation but just one day in prison??? It can't be right. She was meant to do two days (which is still ridiculous) but she was credited for the few hours she spent in jail the day she was busted.

Vivica Fox's stylist is claiming that she was sippin' on some sizzurp at her gig in NYC this week, which is a violation of her probation which may cause jubilation. Never mind.
First 
Remember seeing Remy Ma on the red carpet at 
Remember Raz B from B2K? Well, he has released a statement respinding to the gay rumors and what not. Only read the first three sentences so please read it and provide a summary if you can. I can't do it.
Foxy Brown is currently at the Rose M. Singer Center on Rikers Island. She's reportedly being held in a cell away from other inmates for safety reasons.

These internets are buzzing with talk of JJ/JD tying the knot this past Saturday. It still hasn't been confirmed so I will take it easy on this one. Oh well. Yipee.
Quote from an interview with Keke Wyatt (I barely know her myself) at 
Word is that 50 Cent is putting out a Kanye diss track a week before both of their LPs drop. This man's loserness really bothers me.
Apparently some strippers in Atlanta are mad at Andre 3000 for failing to make it rain on them as a superstar should. What can I say...it be like dat sometimes (LOL).
John Singleton on black movies of today:
Word is that T.I. and his entourage beat up a bunch of people who tried to rob them after one of his recent shows.
Foxy Brown is facing SEVEN new charges stemming from a traffic stop on Wednesday. She gave the police false information after being stopped for talking on her cellphone while driving in Mahwah, NJ. Apparently she also failed to check at a stop sign.
This is what's really sad about the Remy Ma situation...she's a heck of a rapper (in my opinion). And as stupid and blasphemous as the title of this track is, it's definitely worth a listen. Check it out.
Yes, the last post had some Foxy in it too but what can we do. It turns out that Ill Na Na is with child and is getting married in September. She has to be at least 3 months pregnant 'cause YBF apparently broke this news 
According to Foxy Brown's mom, Judith Marchand, the alleged victim, Arlene Raymond, was actually the aggressor. She claims Arlene said [to Foxy] "let's fight now that you're alone, bitch", after which she [Foxy's mom] claims Foxy pushed her away and may have "brushed" her with her phone.
Diddy's version of "Raisin In The Sun" is apparently coming to TV. It's going to air as an "ABC Premier Event" after the Oscars in February.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...What this woman needs is a nice, colossal, monumental, career-threatening flop to calm her ass down. Mariah used to crank out albums every other second 'til Glitter happened.
