I just read that Hollywood legend Robert Goulet passed away today...
He was an award winning singer and actor. But most of you probably know him from Will Ferrell's spoof of him on Saturday Night Live or appearing in the Emerald Nuts commercials when he messes with people's desks. I love that commercial, especially when he is sneaking away on the ceiling of the office. R.I.P., Mr. Goulet.

Clifford's out of the penile, ya'll...
So did T.I pay the bond for TIP or is it the other way around? I think I read that his trial is going to start in a week. That's mighty quick. R. Kelly's ass has dodged a bullet for five years, what's up with that?
It's about time...
Georgia’s Supreme Court on Friday ordered the release of a young man who has been imprisoned for more than two years for having consensual oral sex with another teenager.
The court ruled 4-3 that Genarlow Wilson’s 10-year sentence was cruel and unusual punishment.
Wilson, 21, was convicted of aggravated child molestation following a 2003 New Year’s Eve party at a Douglas County hotel room where he was videotaped having oral sex with a 15-year-old girl. He was 17 at the time.

They should know better than that..
And why is Karrine Steffans the cover model for Today's Black Woman magazine? And TBW wonders why everyone thought they were no longer in business...
This chick kills me. I have heard her interviews on a couple of radio shows and on both shows she hung up because she felt she was being disrespected. Isn't that expected because she broke the ho credo of Kiss and Don't Tell?

Film target of sabotage opening weekend
By Kenya Vaughn Of the St. Louis American
Even before Why Did I Get Married opened, Tyler Perry talked candidly about his struggle to get his film released in a number of theatres comparable to his mainstream counterparts and other apparent attempts to undermine its success on its opening weekend.I went to see the film on Sunday night at my regular theatre (Wehrenberg’s Jamestown 14 Cine) and had an interesting experience.
When my ticket was torn, the man working the door said, “We Own The Night is in auditorium three.” I told him that I didn’t buy a ticket to We Own the Night, but to Why Did I Get Married. He said, “It’s fine, just go on in.”After informing him that I didn’t want another film to get credit for Tyler Perry’s sale, he said, “Fair enough, wait here” and brought back a stub from Why Did I get Married.
When I arrived in the theatre, a woman who asked not to be identified said, “Girl, make sure that your ticket says ‘Tyler Perry’ because mine said We Own Night. My friend said that it happened to her yesterday. They been tryin’ to be shady all weekend.” I was not the only one. Neither was she. There was a bit of commotion as people looked at their tickets and, sure enough, their tickets didn’t say what they thought it said. The concerned patron who attempted to school me on the error went to the manager and he said that it was a mistake. “Well, I ain’t never seen them make this kind of mistake before,” the woman said. In the 20 years I had been patronizing the Jamestown 14 Cine, neither had I. A bold, matter-of-fact woman, she went to the manager and insisted that he make an announcement in the theater. His message regarding the cause of the “mix-up” was unclear, but he told the audience that they were welcome to come to the box office and get their ticket changed. But when the film was over, the box office was closed.By the time the office opened Monday, someone had already called the American to voice concerns regarding a similar incident at the same theatre.Quinton Pittman, an attendant of The Wehrenberg theatre in St. Charles, conveyed his disdain via e-mail.
“I took my lady to see Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married yesterday in St. Charles at the Wehrenberg Theatre on 1st Capitol. I glanced at my ticket stubs. Why was I sold tickets to Resident Evil”? Pittman wrote. He said that he talked with the usher and management and decided to contact Werhrenberg Offices.“To add further insult to this injury, when I called the home office of Wehrenberg Theatres to complain, I was directed to Linda Curbell (Guest Services) who told me, ‘The only way you're going to get ticket stubs to that movie is to get them out of the trash,’” Pittman said. He said that Curbell refused to take his complaint formally and brushed him off with a nasty attitude.“Had it been Harry Potter, Spiderman or Barney Goes to Jail, they would have fixed it right then and there,” Pittman said. “My conscience is burning because they were being racist - period. They are stealing money from Tyler Perry’s movie.”
“It was a mistake, and we’re looking into it,” Kelly Hoskins said in an abrasive and condescending tone when I called Wehrenberg’s corporate offices and asked about the incidents. She also said that the theatres installed new ticketing systems that might have contributed to the error.Shawn Ellens went to St. Louis Mills (which is not a Wehrenberg theatre) to see the movie. According to her, she waited for more than 20 minutes from the original 6:45 p.m. start time to see Why Did I get Married.She said the film then was screened out of focus and with the actors’ heads cut off. They stopped the film to resolve the issue and left guests waiting.“When it finally got up, the film had already started and we had missed part of it,” Ellens said.After people started complaining, they offered passes to see another film.“I had never experienced that type of problem before,” Ellens said. “While I can only speculate (regarding motive), 99.9 percent of the people in there were black.”Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married opened at the top of the box office with $21.5 million.Ellens says that she rarely goes to see a movie on the first weekend, but as a fan of Perry, she wanted to make sure he had a strong finish.“Even with all of that trifling behavior, he still came out number one,” Ellen said.“I’m tickled pink, and I wish we could get word to him what happened here in St. Louis.”

This broad refuses to get it...
According to The New York Post, Foxy committed her first violation by getting into a shoving match with another female inmate on October 3. The following day, the rapper would verbally abuse correction officers and refused to take a random drug test.
After reviewing both incidents, The Department of Correction would pluck the rapper out of general population by sentencing her to 76 days in “punitive segregation”.
Foxy is now confined to a cell by herself for 23 hours a day. She is allowed to see visitors, convene with her lawyer and go to the library or exercise in a recreation area away from general-population inmates, for an hour each day.
The inmate who Foxy got into a tussle with was sentenced to eleven days in the segregation unit.

Between planning a baby shower, feeling a little under the weather and working on a couple of projects, my time was not mine as much as I wanted it to be. But I'm back in the saddle. Enjoy!
Fancy had her twins...
From People.com
Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon Welcomes Twins
Actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon and husband Michael Nilon welcomed twin boys, her rep tells PEOPLE.
Jax Joseph Nilon was born at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 18 and weighed 4 lbs. 7 oz., and Jaid Thomas Nilon was born at 8:31 p.m. and weighed 4 lbs. 9 oz.
"We're so in love with them," Beauvais-Nilon tells PEOPLE. "The boys are just gorgeous."
The twins, who were born in Los Angeles, join Oliver, the actress's 15-year-old son from a previous marriage.
Friends such as Angie Harmon and Virginia Madsen have already showered the boys with gifts, including individual outfits from Janie & Jack and Gymboree.
"She wants to establish each twin's own identity," says a friend who attended the actress's baby shower last month. "She doesn't want to dress them up the same."
Beauvais-Nilon announced her pregnancy last June to PEOPLE, saying, "We are over the moon and feel very blessed."
The actress, who has appeared in TV's NYPD Blue and The Jamie Foxx Show, was last seen in the thriller I Know Who Killed Me, starring Lindsay Lohan and Julia Ormond. She also posed nude while pregnant in the August issue of Playboy.
Her husband is an agent for Creative Artists Agency.
The couple wed in a private ceremony in Los Angeles in May 2001.

Latest on T.I.
From sandrarose.com
A source close to Tameka "Tiny" Cottle has confirmed that Tiny is pregnant again with T.I.'s baby. The sex of the baby is unknown. The baby would be the couple's second child together. Tiny delivered a stillborn baby girl this past March and the couple were determined to have another baby.
Meanwhile, T.I., real name Clifford Harris, was denied bond in a federal magistrate court today. In attendance at the proceedings were Tiny, two of T.I.'s other baby mamas and all of T.I.'s children except for King who remained at home. Tiny, who was arrested on marijuana and Ecstasy possession on Saturday, took King to visit his father in jail yesterday. I'm told the first thing T.I.P. did was apologize to Tiny.
My source informed me that King is still traumatized from the raid which took place at T.I.'s home in College Park on Saturday. ATF agents simultaneously broke down the front door while smashing out windows in the back of the house and tossing stun grenades into the house. King, 3, was in a downstairs room playing at the time of the raid. The other children had just left the home to go to acting class. I'm told T.I.'s 15-year-old nephew ran out the back door and was tackled and stomped by ATF agents.
While agents found T.I.'s gun collection in his bedroom safe, no drugs were found in the home. Many have questioned why T.I. had such an arsenal in the first place. The answer is simple: boys love guns. My brother, Ray, has been an avid gun collector since his teens so I have no problem believing that. My brother obtained his license to carry a concealed weapon at the age of 18. He quickly amassed a collection of guns much larger than T.I.'s collection. Today, my brother, who never attended college, owns a GNC store in Dunnedin, Florida (a suburb of Tampa). My brother has never shot anyone.It's easy to question why T.I. was buying machine guns and silencers, but what gun collector (my brother included) doesn't own a machine gun? It doesn't mean they intend to start a war. I imagine it would be difficult for a boy like T.I. to turn down the chance to own a machine gun. It doesn't make him a bad person.
Family friends state the bodyguard, whose initials are C.W., had a license to purchase certain weapons legally and offered to purchase guns for T.I. from the moment he started working for T.I. in July. That should have been a red flag. The family source said T.I. is not doing well in federal custody. "This is very hard on T.I.P.," said the source.
Offering to start buying guns for a convicted felon, huh? As soon as you start working for him, huh? Wonder if this brother is in protective custody someplace cause I got a feeling some folks are gonna be looking for him...

Clifford, WTF???
As I am at the grocery store yesterday morning, I grabbed a paper. I get in the car (after dodging some Witnesses trying to hand me the word) and what do I see but a picture of T.I. and the headline that he has been arrested on federal gun charges. I was a bit out of it yesterday so I get on the computer this morning. Sir, aren't you a CONVICTED FELON? That means you can't do stuff like this. I see that Tiny and two of the rappers from his label were arrested also. Should be an interesting story behind this one...

Foxy, stop playin...
The Ill-Na-Na herself was scheduled to go to court today. Her mom showed up and everything. They sent THREE, count 'em, THREE buses to get this broad and she did not go. Bus #1 - Her weave and makeup were not on point. They sent #2 to get her ass and she claimed she was hungry. They sent a third bus and ol' girl pretty much said two tears and a bucket, F*** it, and did not make her way out to the bus. She has been rescheduled to appear in court on Tuesday. I wouldn't even give her the chance to protest, I would show up on Tuesday morning with shackles and chains and would snatch her up and sling her onto somebody's bus...

New Jack Swing tour coming thru...
Saw the commercial last night that the show is coming thru in November. The tour is comprised of Bobby Brown, K-Ci & JoJo, Guy, and After 7. Now, as much as I would like to go and see this tour (After 7 singing Ready or Not would pay for the tickets themselves), I am not paying up to $76 for tickets. I'll save my money for when NE comes thru next year for their 25th anniversary. Now THAT will be a show to see.

The Natureboy suing a car dealership??
I used to love to watch wrestling, especially when I was younger - Tony Atlas, Ray Candy, The Anderson Brothers, Dusty Rhodes and the Natureboy himself, Ric Flair. Well, he is suing a car dealership in Columbia, South Carolina, claiming that they are using a character named Captain Freedom that bears a resemblance to him and uses two of his catchphrases - "Wooooooo", which we all know and love, and "to be the man, you have to beat the man". Now, if there was a ring set up and the guy flew at fullspeed towards the corner and somehow ends up upside down, then the Natureboy would have a clear and tight case.
For you Jack Bauer fans..
Kiefer Sutherland pleaded no contest Tuesday to a charge of driving with a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit and will serve 30 days in county jail under terms of a plea agreement.
Attorney Blair Berk entered the plea on behalf of Sutherland, who was not present.
As part of the arrangement, Sutherland must also enroll in an 18-month alcohol-education class and attend weekly alcohol-therapy sessions for six months.
The charge of driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 percent or higher stemmed from a traffic stop in Los Angeles last month.
A second misdemeanor charge, driving under the influence, was dropped.
Sutherland is already on probation for a 2004 drunken driving arrest. Superior Court Judge Stuart M. Rice revoked the actor's probation in that case.
Sutherland, star of Fox's "24," could face six months in jail for violating probation. Sentencing is set for Dec. 21, the same day the show begins its winter production break.
Yeah, let's make sure he serves his time when its convenient for him...

Diddy...and let's not forget Kim...
You have FIVE kids with three different women. FIVE plus you take care of Quincy, the son that Kim has with Al B. Sure, so that's FIVE + 1. Perhaps you need to come up with a reality show where teams compete to put a condom on your ass and the winner get a contract with BadBoy and the opportunity to fade into oblivion. Kim, you have have FOUR different kids with two different men, where you hoping that since Diddy gave you girls that he would marry you now? That's too many chiren floating around. Kids probably look to see what he is doing and try to imitate him. Except they forget they are not millionaires. Gotta do better than that, people..

Okay, perhaps Beanie did not understand the complexities of the rental agreement...
Beanie Sigel rented a Nisan Altima from a rental place in Philly. He was suppose to return in August and didn't and the car rental company reported it stolen AND continued to charge his credit card. Apparently the car was returned on the same day that the sheriff's headed to the house to serve him with the warrant. This brings to mind this question... Did he really think that they would not miss a car from their inventory? If they continued to charge you, sir, then they know you got it.
Britney's mama is at her house!
Hopefully these two will settle their differences and her mom will help her get her life together.
What is wrong with Pamela Anderson?
This broad done went and married Rick Solomon, most famous for being Paris Hilton's partner in her sex tape and was married to Shannon Doherty, Brenda from Beverly Hills 90210. This will not last longer than the 5 months she was married to Kid Rock and wasn't that within the past year? You have cameras following you everywhere, do you really need the additional attention? Her kids probably think this is the way normal people are...

Johnathan Plummer, Terry McMillan's Ex...
I saw him on TV yesterday and thought to myself "Why is this clown on TV?"I had the volume down because I wasl also talking on the phone. I turned the volume up and found out that he has written a book......
WHY? Why does every ex of a famous or semi-famous person feel like they have to write a book to "contribute something to society"? Some bookstore in Oakland, CA is refusing to carry the book and said their decision to carry the book with a "personal preference". Local "community leaders" who are also black and gay are saying he is being discriminated against.
Joe Hawkins, a black, gay event promoter for Club Rimshot and host of the online gay talk show "Real Talk," doesn't believe the store's decision was motivated by homophobia."I really respect and have supported and promoted Marcus Books for years," Hawkins said. "I also know that Marcus Books has carried a variety of titles by black people of various sexual orientations like B-Boy Blues and all of E. Lynn Harris's books."
Mr. Plummer, maybe it's you. Maybe the people that own the bookstore are so disgusted with you and the way you went about your business that they don't want to have anything to do with you. After watching him on the TV, I concluded that Terry had to pretend to herself that he is not gay. There is no way...

Nick Cannon and Selita Eubanks split...don't tell me you didn't see this one coming...
Nick and his "fiance", Victoria's Secret model Selita Eubanks, have called it quits but "continue to love each other and are the best of friends". Caught some pix of him on another blog yesterday where he was under some other chick and I commented that he was just a little too close to her. What a dummy...made all of this fanfare just what, 4 or 5 months ago putting this Selita broad up on a Jumbotron asking her to marry him? In the immortal words of Fred Sanford.."You, you're just dumb, son...".

Brandy, come and get your brother..
Word on them streets is Ray J's simple ass is writing a book entitled "Sex Machine" and claims that he has had sex with over 1,000 women. Let's see, Kim Kardashian, Lil Kim, Supahead and probably Whitney Houston. Quite a list there...
Doggone it, Zeke, you gotta do better than that...
A federal jury has found that Isiah Thomas sexually harrassed a former New York Knicks exec and now she has been awarded $11.6 million in damages. Anucha Browne Sanders has truly hit a lick...
That's what you get for saying that it's OK for a brother to call a woman a B but you would get offended if a white man did it. Boy, please...

Vick taking classes at PETA?
PETA announced today that Michael Vick, the embattled Atlanta Falcons quarterback who plead guilty to dog fighting charges, completed an eight-hour class in empathy and animal protection. Vick took the course at PETA's Norfolk, Virginia headquarters on September 18, was given home study materials, and came back a third time to take a test. PETA is asking the NFL to make empathy training mandatory for all players.
The Two Live Stews were talking about this today and I almost ran off the road from laughing. Doug said (imitating an instructor), "Now Mike, can you tell us why it is not correct to choke out a dog?" and "Mike, can you tell us why it is not right to kick your dog in the a**?". I was in the car literally crying'...

Did anyone see Paris Hilton on David Letterman last night?
Dave immediately starts talking about her doing jailtime and you can tell she is very uncomfortable. He keeps pickin' at her like you pick at a sore, finally she looked like she was about to cry. As I like to tell my daughters.."oh, boodie, whoodie"...
