Kelis Gets the Old Heeve Ho from Jive

Pink slipped!

It looks like Jive isn't done cleaning out it's urban closet. Entertainment Weekly reports that the pop label recently dropped Nas' boo Kelis from their roster. Even though Kelis' 2003 album Tasty enjoyed success, due in part to her hit "Milkshake", by selling gold her most recent effort didn't fare nearly as well. Kelis Was Here sold a paltry 157,000 despite the push from her hit "Bossy", according to Nielsen Soundscan.

Until she gets a new situation the ecclectic singer is reportly in the studio working on her next solo album and as well as an indy dance album with Gnarls Barkley rapper Cee-Lo. Kelis is also trying to get her foot into the TV world. More on that later.

Ciara is Missy's B*tch

R&B princess Ciara has been celebrating her b-day all over the place, but apparently the only one controlling the party is Missy. Misdemeanor has gone all "helpful" on CiCi. Reports from the New York Times are saying that Missy "decided which birthday presents Ciara should unwrap first, and the R&B star happily did what she was told. She got a diamond tennis bracelet and a little laptop, while Missy, the highest-selling female rapper of all time, wasn't above cleaning up the wrapping."
The sources also reported that, throughout the party, which took place at Nikki Beach Manhattan, "Elliot also made sure her pal had everything she wanted, ordering shot after shot and convincing the club's staff to make a late-night run to pick up chicken wings for the party."
Hmm...sounds a little suspect to me, but you never know. Missy is prone to lesbian rumors, so this one could be taken way out of context. Developing...

Go See American Gangster

American Gangster has to be one of the best films that I have seen this year. Denzel Washington along with Russel Crow give outstanding performances that are sure to have them under consideration during awards season.

It's hard to believe that the movie stays so true to the life of Frank Lucas, a man who claims to have made $1 Million dollars a day selling heroine on the streets of Harlem.

I did a little research and found that the movie actually got made because of an in depth article by New York Magazine writer Marc Jacobson written in August of 2000 that lets you hear the story of Frank Lucas from the man himself. It's an interesting read. Check it out here.

Ain't That a b*tch! Obama and Dick Cheney are related!

Vice President Dick Cheney and Black presidential candidate Barack Obama are cousins! The vice prez's wife found the connection after doing some family research for a book that she's writing. The link comes from Obama's white side. Somehow, both men are related to a 17th century French immigrant named Mareen Devall.

See any resemblance?

Mrs. Cheney called the discovery an "amazing American story that one ancestor ... could be responsible down the family line for lives that have taken such different and varied paths."

I wonder if this will have any effect on Obama talking sh*t about Dick on his campaign trail now that he knows that he's kin to Bush's #2.

Farrah's in, Toya's out!

Apparently, once you're replaced by Farrah Franklin, it never stops. Letoya Luckett (formerly of Destiny's Child)done lost her man! Everything was going fine for her; she had a cute little boutique in Houston, a burgeoning solo career, and an engagement to Washington Wizard DeShawn Stevenson. But that was until Farrah stepped on her toes AGAIN! Apparently Farrah dated DeShawn for about five seconds in middle school.




Following the removal of some super sexy messages that were visible on each other's message columns, Mr. Stephenson has removed ToyToy from his Myspace Top Friends. You know what that means...the engagement is OFF!




As you can see, that is NOT Toya. And it's not RahRah either. So the engagement being off doesn't mean he's gonna choose Farrah. Word has it that he makes the rounds with groupie love too.

Hip-Hop on Trial: Round Up and Update

I was originally hesitant to post these updates, since they're absolutely everywhere on the net, but I beleive in being responsible. So, if you haven't heard or have chosen to ignore this, here is the hip-hop law round-up.



Sean "Diddy" Combs has been in all sorts of trouble in the last week. Online news outlets reported Saturday that Diddy struck acquaintance Steven Acevedo twice at NYC hotspot Kiosk after an altercation involving a mutal female acquaintance.Reports soon surfaced that the two had met amicably at NYC club Butter and settled the matter without legal intervention. Not so, says Acevedo's lawyer, who maintains his client's innocence. The attorney, Mark Heller, is playing coy on whether or not Sean Combs will even be prosecuted, and everyone is dancing around this thing more than washed-up "celebrities" on ABC.

Diddy's attorney,Benjamin Brafman,on reports that Combs would be turning himself in to authorities:
"Mr. Combs is not going to be arrested today [Tuesday]. We are hopeful that this matter will be resolved without the filing of any criminal charges, as this was a disagreement among acquaintances, not a criminal assault."

Mark Heller on Legal Action against Sean Combs:
"That report is inaccurate"..."As I understand [it], my client did not interface in any way, shape or form with Sean Combs [at Butter]. At this point, the altercation between Sean Combs and Steven Acevedo, which took place the other evening, has given rise to an extensive criminal investigation, and no civil proceedings have been initiated yet, pending the outcome of the criminal investigation and subsequent criminal prosecution, should one be initiated.

Publicists on the subject of the dispute (via mtv news):
According to one of Combs' publicists, Diddy and the other man involved in the altercation, Steven Acevedo, have known each other for more than 13 years. She emphasized that the weekend's incident had nothing to do with a woman,

The moral of the story? If Diddy's at the party and you possibly banged out his girl and you may have known this him for more than a decade and if you could end up with two punches that lead to a fat lip but not have it counted as assault, don't go.


Clifford "TI" Harris has also had more than his share of trouble in the last few days. Hours before Saturday's Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta, Harris was arrested on charges of posessing three unregistered machine guns and two silencers, and also for posession of firearms by a convicted felon. US Magistrate Alan Baverman, is gunning for the rapper, ordering Harris to remain in custody until at least Friday, when there will be hearings to determine whether Harris is eligible for a bond and if there was probable cause to arrest him.
Federal prosecutors want to keep Harris detained until his trial which is yet to be set but could be months away.The rapper, 27, faces at least five years behind bars if convicted.
ATF officials are saying that a bodyguard is cooperating with officials, alleging that he illegally purchased weapons for Harris on four seperate occasions since he began working for him in July. The bodyguard, whose name has not been released, alleges that in Harris keeps his weapons in a walk-in closet there is a safe that requires a fingerprint scan to unlock it.
In an unrelated incident, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, Harris's longtime girlfriend, is said to be pregnant again after a miscarriage earlier this year. She was also arrested on Saturday and charged with drug possession.

Rapper Inga "Foxy Brown" Marchand pleaded "not guilty" to felony assault charges yesterday. Marchand is currently serving one year at Riker's Island for violating the terms of her probation following a 2004 fight with two manicurists. Marchand is currently being charged with assault, attempted assault, menacing and criminal possession of a weapon as a result of a neighborhood dispute with Alene Raymond. Raymond alleges that Marchand hit her in the face with a Blackberry, resulting in a bruised eye and chipped tooth after a dispute about the volume of Marchand's car stereo. Brown's lawyer John Sampson, told reporters outside of the courtroom that Raymond was jealous of Marchand's success.If she is convicted, Marchand could get up to seven years in prison.



A judge ruled yesterday that rapper Corey "C-Murder" Miller will stand trial for second-degree murder in February for the second time. The judge set a trial date of February 11 for Miller for a January 2002 incident in which Miller is accused of shooting 16-year-old named Steve Thomas to death at a nightclub. Miller was originally sentenced to life in prison but his conviction was overturned after it was found that prosecutors had expunged the records of five prosecution witnesses to bolster their case. If Miller is found guilty, he will serve a life sentence.




In rapper entorage news, 50 Cent associate Dwayne "Hove" McKenzie, who lives at rapper 50 Cent's Farmington mansion, was involved in an altercation in Hartford, CT's Club Life. He allegedly hit club promoter Howard Allison after a verbal altercation escalated after Allison refused to announce an afterparty to be held at the mansion. Authorities say McKenzie drove up to Allison and asked him to promote the after party. Allison refused, telling him, "You don't call someone up threatening to smack them because they don't big you up in the club." McKenzie allegedly then jumped out of his Cadillac Escalade and hit Allison in the chin and again in his right eye with a pistol. Ironically, McKenzie lost the right to carry a gun two months ago. A search of his car, however, yielded a 9 milimeter and another handgun.

"I think right now, the way that I got the hood on smash and the way that my song is poppin' off, I don't think it would be a smart decision for Hov to drop on November 6," Cassidy told hip-hop website SOHH. "It ain't like when [The Blueprint] Vol. 1 or Vol. 2 was gonna drop, it's a lot different," Cassidy said.

T.I. A Member of the NRA?

Rapper T.I. was arrested this weekend on gun charges:

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) arrested rapper T.I. in Atlanta today on multiple weapons charges after they say he had a bodyguard try to buy machine guns and silencers for him.

According to the Feds, T.I,, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was busted after they learned one of his bodyguards was allegedly trying to purchase machine guns for the musician. Authorities say the bodyguard admitted to purchasing about nine firearms for T.I. in the past and about 17 firearms for other people in the musician's posse on previous occasions. The bodyguard claims the rapper gave him cash to purchase the guns, because T.I., as a convicted felon, was not able to legally buy firearms. The bodyguard was arrested last week trying to buy several guns. After his arrest, the bodyguard agreed to cooperate with authorities-- that cooperation led to today's arrest.

See y'all this is exactly why I buy all of my automatic weapons and silencers on eBay.

Stadium Update: Izod 1, Rocawear 0

Remember my original post about Rocawear bidding for naming rights to the arena in the Meadowlands? The results are in. Instead of this:

It's gonna look more like this...

...at the new Izod Center. Shawn Carter lost out in the bidding for the Continential Airlines Stadium in Greenfield, New Jersey, home of the New York Giants.
Continental Airlines, which holds the naming rights until approximately October 31, paid roughly 1.3 million per year. Izod and Rocawear offered a similar amount, but Carl Goldberg, president of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority,says that the actual value of the 5-year deal will be about 2 million per year because of Izod's commitment to advertising events at the center.
This one seems a little fishy to me. Seems that the only difference between Hova's bid and Izod's is that the company famous for its preppy sportshirts offered a complete marketing package and agreed to pay about 1.4 million in cash, yearly. Is somebody broke? Does someone need to pay off a loan shark or something? What's the cash about? Something tells me there's more to this story.

Mimi the Emancipated told Glamour magazine that, if asked, she would tell America's sweethearts (although no one 'specifically'), "to be very centered, and spiritually know where you're at, all the time. Don't read the tabloids. Don't be obsessed with what people are writing or saying. Live your life for you. My lifestyle has changed since making it. It's not a financial struggle, but I'm still struggling in a lot of ways."


Excellent advice from a woman who knows. After all, she's recovered from crazy at least twice.

New York finally finds a man! Sike!

This is out of control...New York just attracts foolishness. Apparently, one of the I Love New York 2 contestants, Unsure, is actually Jared from Fratmen.com, a gay porn site. Sister Patterson (a.k.a. the Devil) repeatedly asked him if he had ever worn women's clothes, and decided that he was "unsure" about his sexuality. So they named him UNSURE! Hahahaha!
Apparently, they have reason to doubt him. The website Queerclick did a complete side by side analysis of Jared and Unsure and determined that it absolutely was him. Whether it's him or not, I'm sure he's not the only one with a gay past. More to come...

Kanye is a golddigger...for his JEWELRY LINE!

Kanye's going to produce his own jewelry line with 'Graduation' cover artist, Takashi Murakami. He wore the first piece, "a huge gold Manga-style diamond-studded pendant" from his collection at fashion powerhouse Givenchy's show last week in New York.
But you know Kanyizzle, he's a man of the people. West recently told Women's Wear Daily that his pieces will "be more accessible, they won't be all diamonds." Maybe he'll put the gold-plated girls on the chains instead. Thank you Kanye. Thank you.

Maybe this is a little too eccentric...

Has anyone been saying to themselves: "Where in the heck is Pharrell?" The last time I saw him he was on a boat singing to Kanye! Well we found him in Paris doing a little shopping...

You did not pick up the purple croc "Haut A Courroie”! The original Birkin bag with custom Jacob key chain! Fierce!

A little art for the Miami apartment?

Trailer for Jay-Z's "Blue Magic"

I love the miminalist approach Hov is taking with his new records. He's approaching this project purely as an artist. That American Gangster album should be somethin special. As Lupe would say - "Swanky".

Video: Britney Spears

New Britney Spears makes my penis soft.

I'm sorry but I had to post this. She makes strippers around the world look bad. Did anyone notice how she did the white girl drop to floor while dancing thing over 100 times? It's like she kept wanting to sit down but was fighting the temptation.

Man Preganant With Baby!

I have sad news y'all. It's the end of days. Can you believe that dude Usher married is 4 months pregnant? I don't know how his body can support life but he's done it. It's like a bad episode of "Nip/Tuck". Anyway, here's a behind the scenes look at a photo shoot the two gentleman did for the ESSENCE magazine cover. This also marks the first time a major black publication put an openly gay couple on the cover.

Eve was right, love is blind.

It must be the money because it ain't their faces...

What do you get when you cross this...

With this?


Apparently, you get Ballers Gone Wild, a party hosted by the Legion of Doom, one of the largest DJ Pools in the South. Atlanta, where LOD is hosting the SUMC-LOD (Legion of Doom)Urban Music Conference, is the strip club mecca of the South. Ray Hamilton, president of Legion of Doom Record Pool is celebrating the fourth year of his reign by hosting the first annual "Ballers Gone Wild" party at two of the top strip clubs in Atlanta, the Blue Flame and Magic City. Why? Because their DJs spin at the top clubs in the city, that's why. And the BET Hip Hop Awards will be in town too, so more foolishness is bound to ensue.
What in the hot crispy fool mess?!!! Somebody better make sure those poles get a serious wipe down because every stripper, escort, wanna-be diva, golddigger, and broke down ho dreaming of movin' on up is gonna be there, and I can see this getting waaaaay out of hand.
But I'm not hating, let them have their fun, but uh, there had better be handing out boxes (not individuals...BOXES) of condoms at the door.
And am I the only one who gets an image of various rappers and "ballers" getting drunk and high off their *sses, and doing a drunken strip to "Bartender"? Just a thought...

Who's gonna Play Biggie?

Okay, so it looks like the producers for Biggie's biopic "Notorious" is still without a "Biggie". They had a casting call this weekend and Beanie Seigel wants the role. After seeing State Property 1 and 2 I say no.

And while the producers are racking their brains on who should play the late, great Frank White I can honestly say that decision is easier to make than the dilemma of letting that crackhead borrow your XBOX 360 while you're out of town. Who am I talking about? Only the greatest "Biggie rip-off" in the history of "Biggie rip-offs".

Guerilla Black is perfect. He not only sounds like Chris Wallace when he raps but look at him!! The only roadblock I see is him having sh*tty acting abilities but if they can keep giving 50 Cent and Beyonce roles than getting Guerilla Black to say a few lines shouldn't be that hard. Speaking of which, what the hell has he been up to these days? Obviously not putting out records.

What? Babysitting not working out for you Vin?

Fast and the Furious is getting a new installment, and guess who's back? Vin Diesel, who refused to rejoin the franchise, instead choosing to do movies like The Pacifier and Chronicles of Riddick, is rejoining the cast. But there is no story line yet... I wonder how this one's really going to play out.

This girl is making Paris Hilton and Karrine Steffans look like saints. KIM KARDASHIAN...THIS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU...STOP TAKING YOUR CLOTHES OFF. PEOPLE ALWAYS FIND YOUR EVIDENCE!
"Princess Kimberly", as she likes to be called, has run into even more trouble. Nude, explicit photos of this month's Black Men Magazine cover girl have surfaced from ten years ago. In them the now-famous (actress? model? porn star? singer?)Kardashian is only sixteen or seventeen. They were offered for sale by a photographer in San Fernando Valley. Kardashian is crying kiddie porn and says anyone who buys the pics should be charged criminally. It's not known if the photog knew she was underage, so I'm not sure how this one will turn out. Anyway, one serious lesson has to be learned here: KIM KARDASHIAN...STOP TAKING OFF YOUR CLOTHES!

A Hottie, Firey Mess

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hottie(aka Schatar, the "reformed" Charm School girl)performed at the 2007 Fox Reality Awards. Presumably it was her awesome Flavor of Love-inspired "hit", (you know it's a hit in her mind and she's telling anyone who will listen)" My Man, My Money, My Mansion". Um, what's actually funny about this is that Hottie actually looks better now than she did when she was on FOL. I mean, she got that crazy *ss swoop track taken out and toned it down a bit. For her, this is good. I mean, at least she isn't wearing that "classy" gown she had on when she visited "her kind of people" at Andrew Firestone's vineyard on Charm School. Although for a relatively major performance, perhaps that outfit would have been more appropriate than this one. Go figure.

Lifestyles of the BROKE and Famous

I would write a little witty blurb here but this b*tch makes me not want to care.

This song is dedicated to 'New York'

"Lifestyles of the broke and famous
Let you know how crazy this game is
Look at all the new beautiful faces
At home supermodel, myspaces
Long for their shot on the TV screens
American Idol never seen these dreams
Just last week they want to see ID
Now they got you in VIP, huh?
How many people almost famous
You almost remember what they name is
Like “Hey, didn’t you play in..? No it couldn’t be, quit playin”
I try to keep that balance
After MTV that’s a Real World Challenge
