Listen to Fox News respond to the Solange interview situation. Not only is it tactless and unprofessional, its ridiculous. I have no words for this news station.

T-Pain Turns Gospel Song Into 'Alcoholic Anthem'
I hope I'm not wrong for this but this just made my day.
MTV Reports a T-Pain cut called "Silver and Gold" leaked to the Internet a few months back, with the Tallahassee, Florida, native singing about the effects of blending clear and colored Patrón tequila together for consumption. "You'll be hanging, swanging, drinking two types of Patrón," he sings. "I done mixed up silver and gold/ I done mixed up silver and gold/ I'mma tryin' to get drunk before this party/ Somebody's gonna have to carry me home/ I done drank the silver and gold."Hmm... I'm guessing if T-Pain's song was about porno Mr. Franklin wouldn't have a problem... OH SNAP! I went there!
While Pain's following ate it up, non-secular-music kingpin Kirk Franklin had to put a call into the young singer. Franklin debuted the original "Silver and Gold" on his 1993 Kirk Franklin and the Family album. The gospel version goes: "Silver and gold/ Silver and gold/ I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold/ No fame or fortune/ Nor riches untold/ I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold."
Check out the T-Pain version and original below:
T-Pain - Silver & Gold
Kirk Franklin - Silver & Gold
Oprah Responds To Obama's Acceptance Speech
The Big "O" describes Obama's speech as the most power thing she has ever experienced:
“I cried my eyelashes off,” she said in the bowels of Invesco Field, moments after Obama accepted the nomination for president before an estimated 84,000 people. “I think it’s the most powerful thing I have ever experienced,” she added, calling Obama’s words “transcendent.” On the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a Dream Speech,” Winfrey compared Obama’s words to those of the civil-rights leader, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.Thoughts anyone?
“He’s not an African-American candidate,” she said. “He’s a candidate for Americans.” Winfrey threw her support behind Obama early — even before the Democratic primaries got under way last year. She’s stayed active since, hosting rallies and fundraisers that even Obama has acknowledged have given him a boost.Quote via: Bossip

Solange You Have No Made It Yet
Solange Knowles snaps on a news reporter after she thinks the reporter is trying to tie her success to her family.
News flash: You're ONLY famous because of your family. You're not that cute and your singing ability is average at best. You should stick to your previous profession as background dancer. Keyword, background.
Needless to say, I'm not a fan.

Diddy Flies Commerical?!?
Lord, I can not wait to be rich and crazy. Just like Diddy.
Quote of the moment:
"Shout out to all my Saudi Arabian brothers and sisters and all my brothers and sisters from all the countries that have oil, if you could all please send me some oil for my jet"
-Diddy
via: D-Listed
Check out the transcript from the video under the cut.
“Gas prices are too motherfucking high. As you know, I do own my own jet and I have been having flying back and forth to LA pursuing my acting career. Now, if I’m flying back and forth, like, twice in a month that’s like $200,000 or $250,000 round trip. FUCK that. I’m back on American Airlines right now. Ok? Your boy Diddy right now is on American Airlines. Look. I want to give a shout out to all my Saudi Arabian brothers and sisters and all my brothers and sisters from all the countries that have oil, if you could all please send me some oil for my jet I would truly appreciate it. But right now, can you believe it, I am actually flying commercial. That’s how high gas prices are ok, so I feel you. Look, I’m at the gate right now. This is proof that gas prices are too high, we need to do something about it, so tell whoever the next president is that we need to bring gas back down.”
Michael Strahan Wins Small Victory In Divorce Settlement
This chick is ridiculous. The judges would have been dead wrong for letting his ex-wives claims fly. $27,000 a year for new outfits so the children could see the father? Please. They're only 3 years old; it's definitely not too late to make new ones.
Retired New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan won the latest round in his lengthy divorce case on Tuesday when a state appeals court reversed a lower court's awarding of about $18,000 per month in child support to his twin 3-year-old daughters.Continue Reading...The three-judge panel found a lower court didn't adequately review the claims by Strahan's ex-wife, Jean, about the girls' needs.
For instance, among the listed expenses were a 10-day vacation to Jamaica for the girls' nanny and her family, allegedly as a gift from the children, and diamond jewelry given to their grandmother.
Strahan's ex-wife also claimed the toddlers needed $27,000 per year for clothing because she dressed them in a new outfit each time they saw their father.
"Some of the expenses claimed by defendant clearly should have been deleted by the court," the appeals court concluded.

Video: Da Brat Gets Sentenced
Da Brat was sentenced to 3 years in jail after beating a waitress in the face with a rum bottle last year at a Halloween party. The waitress was rushed to the hospital to treat the numerous cuts she received on her face. I only have one question: How scary does your Halloween costume have to be to get hit in the face with a liquor bottle?

Rihanna's Broke?
We all know its not like Lenzism to gossip without a credible source but MTV news has reported over the last week that Rihanna may be in financial trouble. Rihanna recently fired her business manager, Patricia Williams, due to inconsistencies with financial reports. According to Ms. Williams, Def Jam does not properly finance Rihanna and because of such Rihanna's managament company, Rebel One Entertainment, uses endorsement money to fund albums, tours, and music videos. Because Good Girl Gone Bad only sold 150,000 in its first week, less than T-Pain's CD, Def Jam decided to stop funding future projects. Rihanna is rumored to have $20,000 to her name. This sounds like a TLC repeat if you ask me.

Haute or Not: Keds Shiny New Remakes
Today while searching for something to blog about I came across this series of Keds Champion OX sneakers, made for Japanese retailer Beams on one of favorite blogs Highsnobiety. Typically Keds is not a brand people are checking for but the patent finish definitely adds some flair to these classic kicks. I'm not too excited about the all white or the blue pair but the red pair really do pop. I'm going to give these a haute but as always...I want to know what you think!
