What is the world coming to?

The pharmaceutical rep who was missing last week has been found, near her car that was abandoned. Police are looking to talk to an ex-boyfriend who had supposedly been threatening her. I didn't list on the blog because I was hoping (in the back of my mind) that they would find her safe and sound. R.I.P...

and

In Tennessee, social services received an anonymous call about a local day care center and went to check it out. They dound a four month old baby, in a dark room, with a pacifier in the baby's mouth, and the pacifier was TAPED DOWN into the baby's mouth. It would have taken an ARMY of police officers to pull me up offa the woman runnin' the thing..

C'mon Supahead...

She was just on The Two Live Stews and her and Ryan were going at it. I think Doug was in shock, I didn't hear him saying anything. I caught the tail end where Ryan pretty much said he is a man with God and he would never have anything to do with her and she told him "Judge not, B****...". Oh my, I will try and head the whole thing, hopefully they will post it or replay it and Doug is still in shock..

She just pulled that same stunt on another radio station the other day. This broad kills me. She is very delusional. She acts like she has not had sex with 3/4 of Hollywood and you are offending her delicate sensibilities when you bring it up. B, please...

Vick tests positive for weed..this has been a bad 48 hours for him...

Sir, you are giving Adrienne Curry a run for the SYAD award for the month. If you know you are going to be tested for drugs, don't do drugs. That's the bottom line.

Also, he got two state charges against him yesterday AND he is being sued by RBC Centura for over 2 million dollars on a line of credit he took out earlier this year AND the town hall meeting on ESPN aired last night. Did you check it out?

Salt Pepa's reality show..

I had mentioned about this show a few weeks ago and now promo pics are starting to surface. Looks like Pep has had some nose work done and not in a good way...

Just checked out the "You're Makin Me High" video..

I had been trying to find this video earlier this year on youtube and I see someone added it at the beginning of September. Great video...cute guys, crazy guys, Toni hangin' out with Vivica, Tisha and Erika (Max from Living Single), Bryce from Groove Theory (does he ever age, he's just a cutie) and Toni is wearin' that catsuit.

Sex and the City movie...hooray...

We didn't have HBO when the series aired. TBS started showing episodes and I must say that I really enjoy the show, those chicks are off the chain and hilarious. I loved the way the show ended but can't wait to see the movie.

Hands down the SYAD winner for the month...

Adrianne Curry....

This chick is famous for being on reality TV three times - America's Next Top Model, The Surreal Life (where she met and got with Peter Brady) and the I Married a Brady show. For some reason, this broad thinks that we care to know that she is going to boycott BET and Black History month because she thinks it is racist. Then, of course, she backtracks the next day and says her statements were taken out of context. Not only does she get the SYAD award for the month but is also the deserving recipient of a "Bitch, please....".

LisaRaye celebrated her 40th birthday over the weekend...(didn't she turn 40 like 3 years ago?)

Did you check out the random celebs that showed up at her shindig? Dawnn Lewis (Jalesa from A Different World), Michael Colyer, Nicole Murphy, Golden Brooks, Da Brat and Nancy Wilson??

Now on to that entertainment out on them streets...

Happy Birthday to my brother in law, Wayne...

Happy Birthday Wayne, we love you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SYD!

Happy 12th Birthday to my daughter, Sydney! WE LOVE YOU!

I can't stop laughing...

I just watched Eddie Murphy's "Raw" concert tape from 1987. I was falling out, Eddie is rare form and HILARIOUS...

Ludacris and Gabrielle Union dating?

Word on them streets is that Gabby is the reason D. Wade and his old lady are splitting up. But supposedly her and Luda have been an item for 2 months. Hmmmm...very interesting...

OJ free...for now...

The Juice posted his bond today and walked out of the courtroom. Had to give his passport back and has to appear in court again next month.

And the winner is....

Kanye - 957,000

50 Cent - 691,000

Kenny Chesney - 364,000

To quote my various family members quoting Bugs Bunny..."What a maroon..."

OJ, they are not trying to let you see the light of day again. What is it in you that made you think it was OK to run up into somebody's hotel room demanding "your property"? Sir, I believe you are now officially nominated for the "SYAD" award for the month.

Cam...Cam....is that you?

Happy Birthday, Geek!

Birthday wishes to my younger sister, Camille, a professor at Wofford College who also earned her doctorate earlier this year.

Loves ya!!! Have a great one!!

Another comment on Kim Porter and I'm gonna try to leave that one alone...

Let me see if I get my information straight...Kim was with Al B. Sure and they had a son - Quincy. Puffy was with Misa and they had a child - Justin. Kim started messing around with Puffy and they had a son - Christian. Years later, they have two baby girls. Puffy had a child outside of the relationship with Sarah Chapman and to quote Kim in Essence -

“Christian’s got two beautiful sisters. He Ain’t thinking about that other one, trust me when I tell you.”

How wrong is that? The sin is in the fornication, not the child. If these broads stop settling for a trifling you know what who only uses them for sex, then there would be no argument. And how does Kim get all high and mighty when she did the same thing to Misa? If her and Diddy had broken up and he got somebody else pregnant, would it be OK then? Is it just not OK because they were "still together"? You better let the siblings get to know each other, they could end up at the same school and start dating. And WHY is Essence dedicating so much time to this..and let's call it what it is...baby mama drama? How is she different from any other woman sitting up with kids out of wedlock with a couple of different daddies? Is it different because she is getting money out the ying yang??

****Early nominee for the SYAD award for September****

Just a quick "Proud Mommy" moment...

My oldest daughter, Big Syd, brought home her first progress report from 6th grade today - all A's and 1 B (89 - gunning for that A). Also, she was student of the month for 6D at her middle school. My middle daughter, Jada Poo Poo, was asked to be in the Art Club, a true distinction because you normally have to apply; over 100 students apply and 12 are selected, Jada was given an invitation to join and she has brought home A's on everything since school began. And last but not least, my last daughter, K-Rock. She just got glasses last week and was the line leader for her class for August! My husband and I are so proud of them and I wanted to recognize them on the blog.

Somebody PLEASE help Britney Spears...

In the course of one day, she has lost temporary custody of her sons, been dropped by her lawyer and her management and has been accused of putting out a hit on KFed. Britney please, take 6 months off and go away. Detox, exercise, eat healthy, don't drink and take the time to just relax and watch some TV or read some magazines. PLEASE....

Kim Porter.....

In the last week or so, she put Puffy's third baby mama on blast. Third baby mama came back out swinging. Then I read today that Kim is saying that the son she has with Diddy already has two sisters and he ain't got to worry about the other one with third baby mama. I'm gonna find the exact quote and put it up here. As painful as it may be, brothers and sisters should grow up and know each other, regardless of the circumstances. They could go to the same school, start dating and then find out they are related and THAT would not be a good thing...

Alright, Orenthal....

The Juice is still sitting up in the pokey with a bond of $78,000. Sir, you just can't run up in somebody's hotel room waving guns demanding that "your stuff be returned to you". Now I am reading where the guy who was in the room is reporting that everyone else's reports are wrong and O.J. didn't do what is being said.

Friday, September 14, 2007

What in the HELL is wrong with The Juice?

Hearing reports that he was involved with a burglary in Vegas over some sports memorabilia. Sir, you should have stayed back in the cut for the past 12 years. You got away with murder, just stay out of the public, please...

Tupac Shakur

Today is the 11th anniversary of his death...continue to R.I.P. Pac...

I'm hearing Foxy is in general population..

And NOT in the section where they keep pregnant chicks. More later...

My SYAD award for August goes to...

It's a tie -Two families - The Hogans and the Debarges.

Hulk and Linda need to wake up and realize that their son DOES NOT need to be behind the wheel of anybody's car. Not only has he admitted that he drives over 100 mph but he has almost killed someone who is not out of the woods yet. But, as most celeb parents do who are trying to be hip with their kids, they'll get him another "panty dropper" since he totaled the previous one AND

Debarge family - Please get your drugs and felonies under control. I want to remember the good days of your beautiful songs but you are too old to be pullin' ish like hitting your wife (El) and getting caught with drugs in the car (Chico).

For the month of August, both fams need to sit their asses down...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LITTLE MAN!

Happy Birthday to my brother, Marlyn. He turns 35 today and is almost as cute as me :).

Luvs ya! Have a great one!!!!

The August SYAD award goes to...

I'll let you know tomorrow. Ciao!

Brother Kane let 'em know, didn't he?!

Anybody else seen the video from Access Hollywood of Kane going off on MTV? He's mad cause he has not won an award the past two years and that he did not get the chance to perform on the big stage, considering he has the #1 song in the country. I can understand his point but sir, imma need you to man up and stop ackin' like my seven year old would act if I let her.

Salt and Pepa to have a reality show in October

From the clip I've seen, there is some bad blood between the ladies. Salt feels underappreciated and Pepa thinks Salt screwed her by leaving the group. Salt is married with chiren and Pep is still the party girl. Shaq's soon to be ex-wife wanted them to perform at a function and Salt is having issues with how she can perform their songs with the beliefs she now has. The manager who tells them the offer looks like he wants to knock his head against the wall. Guess we'll have to tune in to see what happens...

9/11

Watching footage of the events from 6 years ago still makes my stomach hurt. Take a moment today to reflect....

Taking a break from the entertainment front to report on some beyond foul stuff going on today...

Jena 6...
Six black students at Jena High School in Central Louisiana were arrested last December after a school fight in which a white student was beaten and suffered a concussion and multiple bruises. The six black students were charged with attempted murder and conspiracy. They face up to 100 years in prison without parole. The fight took place amid mounting racial tension after a black student sat under a tree in the schoolyard where only white students sat. The next day three nooses were hanging from the tree.

Jena is a small town nestled deep in the heart of Central Louisiana. Until recently, you may well have never heard of it. But this rural town of less than 4,000 people has become a focal point in the debate around issues of race and justice in this country.

Last December, six black students at Jena High School were arrested after a school fight in which a white student was beaten and suffered a concussion and multiple bruises. The six black students were charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy. They face up to 100 years in prison without parole. The Jena Six, as they have come to be known, range in age from 15 to 17 years old.

Just over a week ago, an all-white jury took less than two days to convict 17 year-old Mychal Bell, the first of the Jena Six to go on trial. He was convicted of aggravated battery and conspiracy charges and now faces up to 22 years in prison.

Black residents say that race has always been an issue in Jena, which is 85 percent white, and that the charges against the Jena Six are no exception.

The origins of the story can be traced back to early September when a black high school student requested permission to sit under a tree in the schoolyard where usually only white students sat. The next day three nooses were found hanging from the tree.

MEGAN WILLIAMS
Megan Williams, 20, wakes up in her hospital bed on Monday evening and is comforted by her mother, Carmen Williams. Police say Williams was tortured and raped in a Logan County (West Virginia) house for about a week. The FBI is investigating this as a hate crime. Read on:

Carmen Williams doesn’t understand why her 20-year-old daughter was tortured, raped and tied up in a shed. Police tell her that what happened was probably a hate crime, that it happened because Megan Williams is black.

“Every time they stabbed her, they called her ‘nigger,’” her mother said.
But whatever the reason, Carmen Williams wants people to know what happened to her daughter. She agreed to talk to a reporter from her daughter’s room at Charleston Area Medical Center General Hospital.

She said a man and a woman — who Megan Williams thought were her friends — took her to the house of Frankie Lee Brewster in Pecks Mill, Logan County.

The details are even more horrible. According to the complaints, she was forced to eat dog and rat feces and to lick up blood. She was made to lick parts of Brewster’s body, under the threat of death. Her hair was pulled out. She was made to drink from the toilet. She was sexually assaulted while hot water was poured on her body, and while a man held a knife to her.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

A noose was left hanging from a tree limb near a black cultural studies center on an American college campus.

That's the scenario that University of Maryland police, with help from the FBI, are investigating as a possible hate crime that may be tied to a similar racial controversy playing out in Louisiana.

Students and faculty at the university's Nyumburu Cultural Center reported the noose to police Friday afternoon, Paul Dillon, a spokesman for the University of Maryland Police Department, told ABC News. The building has been a meeting point for the university's black students and faculty for 27 years. Nyumburu is the Swahili word for "freedom house."

The noose already had been removed by the maintenance staff when police first took the report, but not before an unidentified student took a picture of the scene and e-mailed the image to police. It shows a roughly 3-foot white rope hanging 10 to 12 feet off the ground and ending with a small noose.

Police issued a campuswide e-mail Friday night regarding the discovery and marking the beginning of the formal investigation.

"We will treat this like any other serious crime on campus," Dillon said, "interviewing witnesses and developing a timeline."

It remains unclear when the noose was originally hung from the tree and who may be behind the apparent hate message. Dillon said creating a timeline will be key and might allow investigators to pinpoint surveillance video of the area showing the perpetrator or perpetrators.

There is recent precedent for racially motivated disputes on the Maryland campus. In 1999, police investigated a series of disparaging letters sent to some of the university's black leaders. No charges were filed, Dillon said, but police did "get to the bottom" of the harassing letters.

To quote Marvin Gaye, "What's going on...?" Remember, it's not all about the biggest car or the shiniest rims or the one with the most money, the new LV or the cutest jeans. People are still dealing with racial issues EVERYDAY. The Civil Rights Movement was in the 1960's. That was only 40 years ago, enough for one or two generations and some of them have the same ideals of their parents and grandparents. Wake up, people...

And Ike Turner is in the news WHY?

He is hoping to convince someone that it would be a good idea to have a reality show based on the volatile relationship he has with his ex-wife, whom he has reconciled with and they are back together. Sir, please drift quietly into the sunset...

Britney Spears...

I think everything that could be said about her performance last night on the VMA's has been said and on that note, I'm gonna leave it alone. She really needs to take a year off to think and be alone and regroup.

Hey Guys....

Sorry I have been MIA the past couple of days. Had a bachalorette party Friday night that kept me out for a minute (shout outs to ya Stacey, Darryan, Quiona, Faye, Doreena and Andrea - it was good seeing you this weekend!) We started out at Taboo II and made our way over to the Coronet Club. And I'll end that post there. Saturday was my recoup day and yesterday was the wedding, which was beautiful. Everyone had a great time and Stacey and Ramon are a great couple who are in a plane at this moment headed for Hawaii!

I know there is plenty to talk about on them streets and I will have more posted later...

Foxy sentenced to a year in the pokey!

She will spend the next year in jail for violating her probation and they booted her ass straight back to her cell at Rikers. The judge, Melissa Jackson, ignored her pleas for mercy, called her a "great actress" and said if this had been the first time she apologized she might be believable. Unless Fox gets time off for good behavior, guess she will have her baby in jail.

Ursher and Tameka Wedding Photos have been posted...

OK...now both of you need to sit down for awhile. ONCE AGAIN...Stay on the low until 1) Ush drops an album or 2) Tameka drops a baby. And to be quite honest, I still won't believe she is pregnant until I see a little Ursher running around...

Britney to perform at VMA's this weekend...

MTV has announced that Britney Spears will be the opening act at the Video Music Awards in Vegas this weekend and Criss Angel is going to be a part of the act. You are really going to trust this broad to come out and do an opening performance for your show? Have you not read the newspaper/magazines/blogs for the past year? Good luck with that...

Not another DeBarge in the penile...

On August 30th, Chico DeBarge and a female companion were driving in L.A. when a cop observed them stop in a turning lane and change seats. He pulled them over and found drugs and cash in the Camry. Chico is being held on $30,000 bond. And El is still behind bars! Might need to get the fam together to do a "Get Our Brothers Out The Pokey" benefit to raise funds...

I was just discussing Pavarotti with my mother last night..

I told her I had seen on AOL that he was not doing well. Woke up this morning and saw that he had passed away from pancreatic cancer. RIP.

I'm still reeling over the Shaq & Shaunie news...

Heard so many rumors on this today, mostly about the soon to be ex-missus - she was messing around with her trainer......Shaunie was putting stacks away without his knowledge...that she was actually the wife of his business partner and messed around with Shaq for a year before telling her husband. Don't know what is true or not but will make for interesting reading...

Do you think Ciara and Fiddy are really a couple?

Or do you think he is using this extra publicity to further hype his album that comes out on Tuesday? Remember, he said he would stop rapping if Kane sold more copies than him. Ride that PR train, brother...

Did Shaq file for DIVORCE?

The Miami Herald is reporting Shaq filed for divorce today:

Miami Heat center Shaquille O’Neal wants to divorce Shaunie, his wife of nearly five years. ”The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken,” says his petition, filed Tuesday by attorney Ira Elegant. The O’Neals have four children together — Shareef, 7, Amirah, 5, Shaqir, 4, and Me’Arah, 1. Shaq has a daughter, Taahirah, and Shaunie has a son, Myles, from previous relationships.

The family lives on Miami Beach’s exclusive Star Island. They bought an $18.8 million estate in the summer of ‘04, at the time of his trade to the Heat. It is for sale — No. 32 is asking $32 million.

In the petition, O’Neal refers to the Star Island mansion as “the former marital home.”Shaunie, he says, has been ‘’secretive about her assets . . . particularly with respect to certain properties owned or titled in either [her] name alone or in other entities.” He wants the court to order Shaunie to give a ”correct accounting of all money, funds, stocks, bonds, and other securities (including bearer securities)” that she came into during the marriage.

If this is true, sounds like ol' girl might have taken Kobe's bitchness to heart about Shaq paying out to his girlfriends and was trying to save a little something on the side in case he started trippin...

Halle pegnant (supposedly..we've heard this one before)...

TMZ is reporting that a movie Halle was suppose to start filming in October has been scrapped because she is three months pregnant. A rep for Berry did not return a call to TMZ.

The apple don't fall far from the tree...

Sidney Dorsey's son shot while shooting dice

Sidney Dorsey Jr., the son of DeKalb County's corrupt former sheriff, was shot on Labor Day at a crowded apartment complex in southwest Atlanta.

Witnesses told police the younger Dorsey, 41, had been shooting dice Monday at 10:30 p.m. when he was robbed and shot in the right leg in a breezeway at Gordon Apartments on Fairburn Road, said Atlanta Police Officer James Polite.

Atlanta police are expected to release more details about the incident later today.
Dorsey Sr. is in prison for ordering the murder of his political rival, incoming Decal County Sheriff Derwin Brown, who had promised to clean up the corrupt department. Brown was gunned down in his driveway while taking his wife roses for her birthday on Dec. 15, 2000. He never took office.

Gunman Melvin Walker and accomplice David Ramsey, who both worked under Dorsey at the sheriff's department, also remain in prison serving life sentences for the assassination.

Dorsey Sr., who had maintained his innocence for years, was recently in the news after he summoned DeKalb prosecutors to admit he ordered the hit on Brown. However, he tried to downplay his role by saying that he changed his mind and had tried to call off the murder.

Sir, you are 41 years old, why are you shooting dice in the breezeway of an apartment complex?

Popular Wedding Weekend..

Other than Usher and Tameka, Kate Walsh (she's on Grey's Anatomy and is going to be on her own show in the fall) married some guy she just met IN FEBRUARY, Byron Allen (he's still around) married some blond chick and Guilianda Dipandi (sure I have spelled that wrong) married Bill Rancic, the first winner of The Apprentice.

Kane and Fiddy both have albums coming out on Sept 11th

The media is hyping the albums sales battle like you would not believe. Which will you buy? Will you get both? Neither?

Usher and Tameka wedding news

They had their celebrity filled nuptuals at Chateau Elan this weekend and guests included J.D., Janet, Mariah, Nelly and Diddy. OK, now would be a good time to stay out of the limelight for a while and we not see you again until a) Usher drops an album or b) Tameka drops a baby.
