Guess Who's Bizack?????

(Images via Splash News Online)
Foxy Brown was released from Riker's yesterday, and I guess her fans heard her call. There was a significant crowd of people including die-hard fans, family and media crews. Fox is ready to jump back into the spotlight with her new VH1 reality show in progress. I know somewhere in Manhattan there are Asian manicurists cowering under their tables, and shutting down their store fronts... BROOKLYN STAND UP!!!!

Akonvict??? More Like a CON MAN!!!!


Breaking News: The smoking Gun (TSG) just broke an expose on Akon-- who seems to have lied/embellished/whatever-you-wanna-call-it on several occassions about his criminal past. The Smoking Gun had the following to say on the matter:

While the performer’s rap sheet does include a half-dozen arrests, Akon has only been convicted of one felony, for gun possession. That 1998 New Jersey case ended with a guilty plea, for which the singer was sentenced to three years probation. Another 1998 bust, this one in suburban Atlanta, has been seized upon by Akon and transformed into the big case that purportedly sent him to prison (thanks to his snitching cohorts) for three fight-filled years. In reality, Akon was arrested for possession of a single stolen BMW and held in the DeKalb County jail for several months before prosecutors dropped all charges against him.
So there was no conviction. There was no prison term between 1999 and 2002. And he was never "facing 75 years," as the singer claimed in one videotaped interview.


But that's not all... Apparently, Akon has tried to claim he was 25, when that is laughable. His ass ain't a day under 40. He also claimed that his birthday was April 30th, when it is really the 16th. TSG goes on to rip apart Akon's various testimonies throughout the years, with an explaination of what REALLY happened in each instance... SMH... How sad. This is what happens when someone with raw talent tries to lean on wack over-done gimmicks in order to create an image and move units... I guess we can now lump Akon in with the Ja-Rule's and the Mason Betha's of the world....



Foxy Brown Wants You to POP BOTTLES!!!!!


...The official countdown has begun. It is mere hours until our Inga will bust up outta Rikers and be unleashed on our humble world... The infamous rap diva would have spent 8 of her 12 month sentence at Rikers for probation violation. Homegirl got some serious anger issues. She beat a manicurist upside the head after a manicure, and dipped out without paying! I hope she has gotten things together since then...


Inga wants us all to know that we should pop bottles and bring the ticker tape to the Rikers exit upon her release. She wants to film her fans welcoming her back into the world for her new reality show in VH1. The show is said to showcase Foxy on her uphill battle to get right, and get her fledgling career back on track. I've always been a fan so I hope she pulls it off. If for no other reason, just for the simple fact that she will be entertaining as hell! So remember to pop those bottles, roll up those blunts-- or whatever it is you wonderful heathens do when one of your kind gets freed. SALUT!

Alicia Keys Don't Like Blender's Steeze!


The internet media took Alicia's controversial Blender article by storm, and for the past few days she has been the talk of the town... I'm sure her publicist was thrilled about that one... Today Alicia spoke to the press in an effort to clear the air on her conspiracy theory issues. She claims that a lot of what she said was twisted and miscontrued to sell units... Hmmmm, that definitely sounds familiar. Keys had this to say in response to the article:

"My comments about `gangsta rap' were in no way trying to suggest that the government is responsible for creating this genre of rap music. The point that I was trying to make was that the term was oversloganized by some of the media causing reactions that were not always positive. Many of the `gangsta rap' lyrics articulate the problems of the artists' experiences and I think all of us, including our leaders, could be doing more to address these problems including drugs, gang violence, crime, and other related social issues."


Now this, I can agree with. When Blender was contacted for a possible retraction, they told the associated press that they stand by their story. This is the reason why if I'm ever famous and I do an interview, I'm going to have two bugged bodyguards plus my own tape recorder hidden well into my ample bosom! Haha.

Ahhhh, So THIS Is Why....

I was a skeptic when US Weekly reported it, but when People Magazine got in the mix, I knew it had to have some truth to it.... Major media outlets are claiming that Ashlee Simpson is Preggers and that Ashwentzday plan to have their nuptuals in May. This must be the reason they are getting hitched-- I knew one day it would all make sense (right Common? LOL)! So... There you have it

A. Keys: Conspiracy Theorist?

Alicia graces the cover of the May issue of Blender Magazine and she definitely has a lot of controversial things to say! Who knew the Clive Davis-darling-diva can be so DARING? Wow... that's a lotta D's.... But I digress. Check out this snippet from her interview:

Alicia: "Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. Gangsta rap' didn't exist."

Jonah :"A ploy by whom?"

Alicia:"The government."

(she continues)

Alicia: I been reading a lot of Black Panther autobiographies... I wear a gold AK-47 pendant to "symbolize strength, power and kill 'em dead."


Alicia goes on to say that she believes Tupac and Biggie were assassinated "by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing."
She's also planning to write more political songs. She said if the late Black Panther Huey Newton “had the outlets our musicians have today, it’d be global. I have to figure out a way to do it myself."
The Associated Press contacted Alicia, but her rep said she was on vacation and not available for comment. Blender contacted Alicia's mother about the AK-47 necklace she wears and her mother responded with, “She wears what? That doesn’t sound like Alicia.”


If this is true Alicia, it's plain silly. African-Americans have been severly persecuted in the past, and probably in some covert ways today, but that is no excuse for the ridiculous, degrading, self-destructive nature of gangsta-rap. Don't get me wrong, I'll bump Biggie and Tupac in a New york minute, but I'm intelligent enough to know the difference between fantasy/entertainment and reality. Unfortunately a lot of brothers and sister don't. We can't go on forever blamin others for our ignorance. it's not secret that it is hard to be a minority, and sometimes you have to work harder to get where you wanna be, but those are the breaks baby! it makes me mad when people constantly point the finger, like that's really going to do any good for our slums and ghettos. Get a job, and get over it! Millions of other African-Americans have managed to do so-- so basically: THE JIG IS UP!

Can This Really Be THE END????



According to Beyonce's cousin (and media whore) Angelica Knowles, Beyonce is now steadfastly working on her next (and last) album, and is pregnant with Sir. Camel's big-headed baby... Could this be true??? Word is that she is planning to settle down with her new hubby and start a family. Can the pop-diva really be headed towards retirement??? Word on the street is that she will be scouting talent for her hubby's music label : The Carter Group. There is also much talk about her new protege named Chelsea Thomas. Apparently she is "the next Bey".... Hmmmm, this sounds very interesting and too good to be true. Let's look back shall we? Too Short "retired" 8 times... Jay-Z "retired" twice, and Michael Jordan? Pahleeze honey. But we will see. I can't say I wouldn't be happy if she did. The world was kinda getting sick of the Creole Queen...

Ladies & Gents: It's Official!


As if you all would care, but I felt that it was my civic duty as a blogger to share the love! Word on the Hollyweird streets is that Ashwentzday are official! They are now engaged to be married, and they would like all their fans to know! They would also like the papps to know that they should stop asking questions about a date because they are just "enjoying being engaged" for now. Papa and mama Simpson have actually given their blessings-- which comes as a surprise because in the past Papa Simpson has made no bones about not being a fan of Wentz. It's most likely because Wentz has been known to make out with men, and he has said candidly that "anything above the waist is fair game".... Hmmmmmmm. Something to chew on there. Ashlee might be in for more than she bargained for, but we'll see as this story unfolds. Congrats to the happy couple!

The Old Party Heads Calling a CEASE FIRE!


Word on the street is that the democratic party leaders are unhappy with the way the campaigning is shaping up. They have many fears of the outcome in November, and I can't say those fears aren't legitimate. In the begnning, I was blown away by the fact that we the two democratic front-runners were a black man and a woman respectively. But now, we can really see how torn the country is on the two-- and it's not good for business. Party leaders want Clinton to step down, because the continuance of this power-struggle will most likely cause McCain to be victorious-- and we certainly don't want that. I really don't want 4-8 years of republican rule on our country. Sorry to offend anyone, but it's true. The party wants Clinton to step down and rally behind Obama, instead of dragging out a bitter battle for power. is this likely to happen? Probably not, but in my humble opinion it wouldn't hurt for her to listen.

Can You HEAR Me Now????





Foxy Brown (aka Inga Marchand) is in countdown mode. She's getting ready to be released from jail in two weeks according to her publicist. Young Inga has a whole lot to smile about these days. VH1 is picking up a reality show on the fallen rap star-- the show will showcase her attempt to regain her mid-90's fame with the relase of Brooklyn's Don Diva (her latest LP set to drop sometime in May).



Don't get me wrong, I love Foxy and have been an avid fan for years despite her ignorant behavior in the past. But it seems like VH1 will give anyone a show for any reason at all. Damn, what I gotta do to get a show? Vh1, can I get put on? Like, seriously-- just give me a show, get me some camera-time and I'll figure out the rest, ya digg? I for one will be watching. Ya girl Foxy is a ticking timebomb, and I wanna be there when she EXPLODES-- on her manicurist, stylist, agent, WHOEVER. I just wanna be there!

Denial Ain't a River in Egypt Honey!



This is ridiculous.... And we are the fools feeding into it. Beyoncewas seen yesterday wearing these motorcycle gloves, and she doesn't own a bike. This leads me to believe that she is making a feeble attempt to hide her wedding ring, and the whole thing is quite silly. Come on people! The jig is up! We've heard the gossip, seen the pictures, and heard the details. It's OVER! What's wrong with two people happily expressiong their love? Kelis and nas didn't seem to have any problems with it. Jay-Z had a concert in Atlanta last night as well, and he has not been captured wearing a wedding ring yet. In fact, he hasn't been captured wearing any type of ring whatsoever. When will this charade end???? And when we will stop caring?

BLOGGING Can KILL You!






Yesterday morning on Fox News, the self-proclaimed "queen of all media" Perez Hilton spoke out about the dangers of blogging. Apparently, two popular bloggers recently died from heart-related injuries, and Hilton made some valid points.


First, he said blogging can be bad for your health because of weight gain. Most often, bloggers are tied down for hours to their computers, and do not get much exercise. He also talked about the difference between bloggers-for-hire who blog for money, and bloggers who blog for fun. He works hard, but he keeps his stress level down because he does it out of joy. I'm thinking geez, I'd be happy too if I made $50,000 a day off of ad revenue. Perez makes close to $20 million a year off of his blog, endorsements and various appearances. In short, he is MY IDOL (haha). But seriously, bloggers should beware of the health risks and do what is necessary to revers them. eat right, get regular excercise, and keep your stress levels down! Cheerio!

Naomi IN TROUBLE.....AGAIN!

Once again, the infamous beauty-queen is in trouble with the law... I'm starting to think she likes the bad press she gets for these shenanigans! Naomi was on a Heathrow flight from London to the States yesterday, and one of her three carry-ons were missing (normal people are only allowed to bring 2 carry-ons, but I digress). She made a huge fuss with the flight staff-- so much so that the cops were called to escort her off the flight. When the police tried to escort her out of the airport, she assaulted him. She had also verbally and physically assaulted the flight staff. Apparently, she learned nothing from her prior brushes with the law... They might have to lock her pretty behind up for a while until she learns her lesson! This is getting ridiculous....
