Future-Whore Love Sounds.

LOL, you know Kanye's gonna be pissed when he sees this pic-- knowing that he didn't have those shades first! He will throw his Macbook air down in disgust and scream on his publicist... Wow, I really do have a vivid imagination!

Doesn't Paris kinda look like what the whores of the future would potentially look like? Very 5th Elementish. And yes, she's serious. Smh.

Ahhhh, the future. It's here. Isn't it Mr. LaForge?

The Oddest Thing I've Seen/Picture of the Day

I know Kanye West is this huge mega-star and all, but I STILL find it odd and strange to see Zac Efron rocking a t-shirt with Kanye's likeness on it... It's a little scary. I mean, what exactly is it that Zac is representing anyway? We all know it's not the hood, or the South-Side of Chicago, or hip-hop, or Blackness... Damn it, I wanna know! SMH.

Christina, Is That You??

The Internets are trying to make me believe that this is a snapshot of Christina Milian and The Dream last night in LA. I don't wanna believe it. She looks crazy. Why did she do that to her beautiful hair? She looks like a broke-down Goldie Hawn from "The Banger Sisters". I am so disappointed.



Word C? Look at what she USED to look like:



FOR SHAME! Smh...

WIPEOUT!

You know how people say that March "comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb"? Well God bless those people, because they ain't NEVAH LIED! Last night the northeast got his by a major blizzard that has contributed to 4 deaths, the complete crippling of our airports, and about 12 million in clean-up damages. WOW. We are expecting to get a foot of snow before the madness is over. Times Square was looking a bit of a mess this morning:



All schools in all 5 of our boroughs in NYC have been shut-down. I haven't seen anything this bad since the blizzard of 1996. Don't you know we're gonna appreciate the Spring like a mutha? Chuuuuuuch.

Chicago Crazy-Man Sent Obama Aids-Infected Letter.

We all know that truth is stranger than fiction... Right? Well just in case you weren't convinced, I think the following story of a mentally-distrubed Obama-stalker will make the case. Homeboy sent Mr. President some letter covered with his own HIV-infected blood a few weeks before inauguration. Check it out:

A Chicago MAN with a history of mental illness was arrested for sending President BARACK OBAMA a letter smeared with HIV-infected blood in the lead-up to the inauguration.

SAAD HUSSEIN, an Ethiopian refugee, sent a letter addressed to Barack Obama to the Illinois Department of Aging in December. The letter contained a two-page note, a Christmas card, some index cards and one admission ticket to Obama’s election-night celebration in Grant Park — all smeared with reddish and orangeish stains from what tests show to be HIV-infected blood.

Hussein, who says he is infected with HIV, told police he slashed his own fingers open and smeared the blood over the items. From the Cleveland Leader:

“After the envelope was opened, Hazmat teams were called in. The offices of the Illinois Department on Aging, as well as the Dept. of Revenue were locked down for about two hours. 300 staff members were thus stuck in their offices.”

Using his brother as an interpreter, Hussein told the FBI that he was an “admirer” of Obama. He also said that he was “seeking help from the government”, and that he was hoping to obtain tickets to the inauguration in Washington D.C. Yeesh. I know it was hard to get inauguration tickets, but I don’t think sending AIDS to the president-elect is ever a good idea. Hussein had also sent envelopes containing a white powder to Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel.

The United States Postal Service says this is only the second time HIV-infected blood has been sent maliciously in the mail.

See? Now this is the kind of ish that makes me SMH eternally... Now and forever.

Jay-Z & Beyonce: ILLUMINATI???

For all of you out there who don't know-- the Illuminati is a super-group secret organization of the most powerful and intelligent people in the world. This exclusive group of power-players are said to be plotting world-domination through their various talents and wealth. It has often been said that this group is anti-Christ and satanic. Tupac claimed that he was forced into Illuminati shortly before he was murdered, and when I was browsing the web, I found this Destiny's Child site that has some damning evidence HERE. Check this ish out-- it's kinda scary.

Jeezy Takes On Bill O'Reilly...

I think deep down inside, Bill O'Reilly is a hip-hop fan. That's the only way I can explain him constantly giving rappers free publicity and airtime with his silly ranting and raving. His latest target? Young Jeezy. Apparently, O'Reilly (and many other conservatives) were not happy with the "My President is Black" remix that Jeezy did with Jay-Z during inauguration weekend. Check it out below:



Bill claims that the content is totally against the "unity" that Obama represents and so on and so fourth. He challenged Jeezy to "defend his ignorance" on an upcoming show, and Jeezy has agreed. This should be very interesting. Check your tv station for local listings!

BREAKING NEWS: Plane Crash!

According to Newsday.com, a little over 30 minutes ago a small Airbus 320 US Airways plane crash-landed into the icy waters of NYC's Hudson River. As we speak, the rescue efforts are going on at the Hudson, and survivors are sitting on the plane wings, and floating in the freezing-cold waters to survive.The number of passengers/survivors is currently unknown, but ABC News has predicted over 150 passengers were on-board. All are set to survive.

Apparently, the plane hit two birds while it was in the air, and both engines malfunctioned and the plane took a dive. GOD Bless everyone on that flight, and I hope they are all safe and get the treatment they need for injuries, frostbite, etc. Wow.

Yes, Oprah Smoked Crack!

Oprah Winfrey isn't a saint, and she isn't infallible. That might just be why I like her-- but I digress. Word on the Street is that Oprah used to smoke crack with an ex-boyfriend of hers back in 1985 when she was a news anchor. She used to cut that coke, cook it up and ssshhhhhmoke it. Strange huh? I'm telling you, life is truly stranger than fiction. But y'all don't hear me though. Check it:

“Oprah made a “rock” of cocaine and baking soda in the tube and heated it, a method known as freebasing.

“[Oprah] then put the lit torch on the rock, inhaled and held the smoke in her lungs for a long time. When she finally exhaled, she began to shake violently as she put the pipe down, she had trouble catching her breath and her eyes got big as saucers.”

We smoked at least a couple of times a week. Sometimes we would smoke up until her limo was waiting to take her to the studio to perform her show…”

Oprah had actually confirmed her drug-use in a show that she had taped back in the 80's. She revealed the following:

“In my 20’s, I’d done this drug and I know exactly what you are talking about.” She said the drug use occurred while she was an anchorwoman on a television news show.

“It’s my life’s great big secret. It was such a secret because–I realize (with) the public person I have become–if the story ever were revealed, the tabloids would exploit it and what a big issue it would be.”

She went on to explain, “But I was involved with a man in my 20s who introduced me to the same drug that you’ve been talking about and, like Patrice, I always felt that the drug itself is not the problem but that I was addicted to the man.” She admitted: “I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t have done for that man.”

It's official. I perpetually will never put anything past anyone for any reason ever again in life. If this is not a testament to that, then I don't know what is...

Look Out World, It's : D'ARNIESHA!

Whattup faithful flock? Y'all said you wanted to hear more about my life? You got it! And.... I've got news. As you all know, I love to make social commentary about pop culture, politrix, fashion, film, etc. That's basically what I do here all day on CCW. But one can never restrict oneself to just one thing... Can you? Not me!

The image above is of me and my best friend Arniesha. We met the very first day of orientation in college 8 years ago, and have been literally inseparable ever since. We are probably the two most zany women you'll ever meet (besides FRANGELA-- of course!) We have always enjoyed social commentary and making people laugh. In college everyone said we should have a show. Well? You never know. Arniesha and I enjoy VH1's BEST WEEK EVER (and if you don't watch it you should). It's basically a show that looks back at the week in pop culture through a very comedic, sometimes sarcastic, and always insightful lens. We were inspired by two virtuoso's on that show: Frances Callier & Angela Shelton. They created the dynamic duo known as: FRANGELA.



These women are hilarious, contagious, and they are ALSO best-friends. They have both inspired Arniesha and I so much so-- that one day we too shall pursue our dreams as a dynamic media-oriented comedienne super-duo: "D'ARNIESHA"! Hahaha. Not to steal Frangela's thunder, but we loved their concept! These two wonderful women have been making strides in the game for years now. They have a radio show in their local Los Angeles area called: The Week According to Frangela on KTLK AM 1150 Los Angeles. Please check them out, and hit up their site: Frangela.com. I will be doing a feature on them very soon, so look out for it-- these women are funny, beautiful & inspirational! Check them out in action on BEST WEEK EVER:



Arniesha and I are both media specialists who enjoy the quirkiness of life. We soak up pop culture like it's going out of style, and we always, always, ALWAYS have an opinion. We both love to make people laugh, and make them happy so we figured-- why not join forces and take over the world like PINKY & THE BRAIN? It's only a matter of time folks. Please don't say I didn't warn you!

Eeeeeek!

Guess who crawled out of the swamp and decided to make a cameo appearance in the French Riviera this weekend. None other than the most sought-after fashionista herself-- DONATELLA VERSACE! She looks like a whithered old piece of beef jerky. This is so not ok... Looks like she just spent 20 hours slathered in butter skidding across a human-sized frying pan... SMH.

Does "Supa C" Stand For Supa CORN?

Ciara is coming out with a new album entitled "Fantasy Ride", and she wants us all to know that she has a new image, but it's NOT an alter-ego a la Beyonce... Ciara teamed up with DC Comics to make a character that represented her: "Supa C". Although Ciara came out with a single months ago, her album was pushed back and she was supposedly asked to "go back to the drawing board" on that one. Well, if her music is anything like this outfit-- I'd say do-overs too! Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Mulligan!

For Serious, Diddy?

After Obama won the election, word on the street was that his supporters across the pond were a little more than enthusiastic. In fact, the "reigning" bond-charater Daniel Craig said that it's about time we had a Black "Bond"... Well, some of us REEEEALLY took that to heart. Including Diddy. Apparently, Diddy believes he has what it takes to be the next Black James Bond... And he has the VIDEO to prove it! I'll give you $100 bucks if you can control your natural urge to roll your eyes during this video clip. WATCH:

Proof That Women Are Amazing...

...As if we needed more proof right? We all KNOW women are amazing, wonderful, incredible, the single most important factor in the completion of life-- and that's just for starters... But I digress. Milan Simon Tuttle is a 5 year old little girl with more game than Jordan, Yao Ming, Steve Nash, and the entire Detroit Pistons put together. She dribbles (multiple balls), fakes, switches, does some other next-level-crazy-stuff (and this is literally just "child's play" to her). She's just getting warmed up! Ladies and gentleman, the 5-year-old basketball prodigy! WATCH:

Well, If "The Queen" Couldn't Do It..

...Then we all know (now) that Wanda Sykes can... As some of you already know, Wanda came out of the "closet" recently, in light of the Prop. 8 decision banning gay marriages. Wanda is not only a girlfriend-- Wanda is a wife... A lot of people were hurt because of this decision. I say live and let live-- but hey, maybe that's just me.

Over the years many friends have commented to me asking why I thouhgt Queen Latifah didn't just "come out already" being as she is a bonafide A-lister. But I guess to each his own. I'm happy for Wanda for coming out like that as a Black entertainer. It's not easy (particularly in our community) to do that. Check out what Wanda had to say:

Suge Knight Sues Kanye...

Word on the street is that Suge "Broke as a Joke" Knight is suing Kanye West for the loss of a $135,000 earring he wore at Kanye's 2005 VMA party-- and a shooting. In THAT order mind you. It's money over everything nowadays I guess. MTV.com has more details:

During the scuffle, Knight — who says he attended the party with a “false sense of security” — claims someone shot him in the upper right leg, shattering his bone and requiring surgery, months of physical therapy and continued mental pain and suffering and loss of income. He also says that he lost a $135,000 diamond stud earring, which was retrieved by someone who identified himself as an employee, and who assured Knight the earring would be returned, though it was not. Knight believes the person worked for West or one of the other defendants in the suit.

Knight requests that the earring either be returned or replaced, as he has been “deprived of the use and enjoyment of the earring” since the August 2005 incident.

Wow. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that Mr. Knight filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this year, and got audited. Hmmmm, I guess this is his story, and he's sticking to it! I can't wait to see how this one turns out. Int he meantime 'Ye, I'd sleep with one eye open. You know Suge Knight is CRAZY!

Straight Up Distasteful.....

I spotted this "gem" of a video on DListed. Now, I am all for full-figured women being proud of their volumptuous bodies. Being scary-skinny, starving yourself, trying to look like someone God didn't intend you to look like is insanity... But so is this. Just like that one straw on the camel's back-- everyone has a limit. What in the world is going on here? Homegirl is NOT sexy. She needs a gastric-bypass and a diet Coke... ASAP! WATCH:

Insane In The Membrane...

According to a New York Times article, there is already legislation being passed to try and make Guardisil (that vaccination against cervical-cancer causing HPV) mandatory for ALL TEENAGED GIRLS. Which basicaly means, soon you will not be able to attend a public school without this vaccination... That's kinda scary. I mean, I'm all for healthy lifestyles and preventative mesaures, but this should really be a choice. I think this pharmaceutical company (like many others) can clearly see the monetary benefits in making these mandates... But is it reeeeeally completely beenficial for us? Guardasil is reltively new. What about the long-term side-effects? What about the fact that it doesn't prevent agasint ALL types of HPV (including genital warts)? Why aren't young males being encouraged to take this as well, because 9 times outta 10 they are the carriers that spread this virus. I just have so many questions, and I feel really uneasy knowing that one day this might actually be as mandatory as science class...

Diddy Did It Again....

...And then there was 2! Shannon (the nice blond girl with the husband-- to the left in the above image) has quit Danity Kane. She claims that she is: 'tired of the drama, cat fights and Diddy'. And I don't blame her. It was a pretty dumb move for Diddy to break them up. Remember what happened with "Dream", and all of Diddy's other projects? Mase left, The Lox quit, Mary-J bounced, Faith ditched, 112 escaped, and now this? He just doesn't have the best track record, and he had a good thing going with DK and he just threw it away bc his ego (surprisingly enough) is even bigger than his water-head and horse-gums... SMH.

If He Can Do It...

...Anyone can. This gives me new hope, y'all! Meet Manuel Uribe-- the fattest man in Mexico. Why does he look so happy, you ask? Well, he BETTER be happy... REEEEAL happy, because his [big] ass just got hitched to a real cutie named Claudia Solis (38).



The man hasn't left his bed in over 6 years, and had to be carried out on a fork lift just to make it to his own wedding! I hate to be gross, but how in the world do they.... You know what? Nevermind. I'm going to leave that up to your imgination! Or not... But the next time you feel discouraged and ask yourself, "Is there anyone out there for me"? Just remember the name MANUEL URIBE, and suddenly all will be right with the world... I promise!
