Jesse On Barack: "I wanna cut his nuts off!"

Talk about a Freudian slip, eh? Jesse Jackson is currently picking his face up after the shameful display of player-haterism that he perpetrated on July 6th during a show on Fox News. Jackson did not know his mic was on, and he was discussing how he believes Obama patronizes Blacks. Shoot, I think I seen this ish coming. I mean, just look at JJ's oh-so-critical side-eye action. The look says it all. Bloomberg.com has more to say on the issue. Check it out:

Obama has been ``talking down to black people on this faith-based,'' Jackson said according to a tape of the comments played on Fox's ``The O'Reilly Factor'' tonight.

``I want to cut his nuts off,'' Jackson then said, according to a report on the Fox News Web site.

Jackson, who didn't know the microphone was on, was commenting on talks Obama has made in black churches about parental responsibility and other social issues.

``Anything I said in a hot-mic statement that's interpreted as a distraction, I offer apologies for that,'' Jackson said at a news conference today.

``I have supported Barack's campaign with passion from the very beginning. I thought the very idea made sense,'' Jackson said. ``We've been there all the way, because I think this campaign is a redemptive moment for America and a great opportunity to redefine America.''

Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said Obama ``will continue to speak out about our responsibilities to ourselves and each other, and he of course accepts Reverend Jackson's apology.''

This just makes me like Obama even more. Such humility and patience! Wow. Because if that were me, clearly I'd be breaking out the Vaseline and taking the earrings off. Them's fighting words, Jesse!

Spankin' New Artist: Jazmine Sullivan

Meet 21-year-old Jazmine Sullivan-- my new favorite... This funky soul diva hails all the way from Philly, Pennsylvania. She might be new to you, but she is already an industry veteran. Sullivan has penned songs for the likes of Christina Milian ("Say I"), and has sung back-up vocals on Missy's up-coming album. The soon-to-be-titled debut album by Sullivan will be released soon via J Records. Her new single titled, "Need U Bad" featuring Missy Elliot, is a reggae-tinged soul anthem that is already burning up the charts. When you hear Sullivan's sultry voice, you think of vintage Lauryn Hill, mixed with a splash of Jennifer Hudson, mixed well with Sullivan's own signature sound. Her fourth-coming LP includes production by legends such as: Wyclef Jean, Tricky, Salaam Remi, Stargate and many more.

Now y'all know if I'm co-signing this, homegirl must be official... And she is! Talented and beautiful, Sullivan is a new force to be reckoned with! You can check her out on her Myspace Page. Look out for an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with the star coming to CCW soon. In the meantime, check out the official video of Jazmine's new single featuring Missy. Watch:

Speaking Of Mariah....

Mrs. Cannon is on the cover of the latest "Elle" magazine, and courtesy of Perez Hilton, we've got some juicy quotes on some of the most controversial things about herself:

On her disastrous first marriage to Tommy Mottola:
“When I was unhappy in a place in my life, I always wanted to be kidnapped. I just wanted a way out, but I didn’t’ have one.”

On her meeting Nick Cannon:
“He sort of kidnapped me and took me on a helicopter ride. Then he re-proposed.”

On keeping the relationship a secret:
“We really kept the whole relationship aspect of it quiet. Therefore, we didn’t really ‘date,’ you know what I mean? Because that would give people a chance to be like, ‘What are you doing? What are you talking about? This is so quick…are you sure?’”

Her sarcastic approach to the media gossip:
“It’s difficult, especially when legitimate press is saying, “They’re having a $4 million wedding.’ Why? What – did we set a budget?’ “It’s gonna be $4 million! It’s going to be really cool! We’re going to give away gold as people leave! We’re going to sprinkle them with gold! It’s going to be very Coming to America! What do they think? Our whole point [in having the unannounced beach wedding] was to do the opposite!”

On her mixed racial heritage:
“It’s such a visual society in which we live that people forget, ‘Oh yeah, her father’s black,’ Carey says. “So, many things will be said in front of me that wouldn’t be said in front of another friend whose complexion might be slightly darker.”

On record labels using her racial heritage to promote her music:
“A friend pointed out that I was marketed by a huge massive conglomerate that did like the ambiguity of my voice lending itself to [making air quotes] ‘soul’ music,” she says. “They liked the fact that the look sort of was, and is, ambiguous.”

On Presidential candidate Barack Obama:
“I can relate a lot to so many of the stories he tells. Clearly I am not the political analyst of the ages, but this is something that hits me on a deeper level than anything I’ve ever experienced growing up.”

On Nick and previous relationships:
“We really do share a similar spiritual outlook on life….Even though people have their own fears about ‘Was I in a relationship before this, was I not in relationship before this,’ to me, I wasn’t in a real relationship; it was more of a friendship and working situation.”

...Anything To Remain Relevant...

For those of you that even remember Fredro Starr (from rap group "onyx" fame & tv show 'Moesha" fame). He has this video out calling everybody out. He claims dipset is "garbage", and that he received some "oral services" from pop-star Brandy... Ya boi is talking reckless in a clear attempt to remain relevant and get people talking... Sad, when your has-been career is all you have to hold onto.... WATCH:

WORD? 50 Cent & The Game In Talks To Collaborate!

According to various sources, 50 Cent & The Game had a meeting last week to talk about possibly collaborating on future projects. This comes as a big shock-- especially since both rappers have claimed they will retire after the last LP's they released. It is even more shocking because 50 and The Game have had a bitter long-standing beef, and The Game was kicked out of G-Unit... Interesting. There are no developments about exactly what went down, or if either of the artists committed to anything, but it is some sort of progress... I will keep you posted!

Caliente!

Trouble In Paradise For The World's "Favorite" Couple

According to News of The World, there is some "shocking" news about Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey's relationship. Apparently the "honeymoon was over before it started", and there is trouble in paradise. Cannon is not taking well to being Mimi's personal slave and gopher, and according to these "sources" things have gotten ugly, fast:

Things are really bad between them. The honeymoon period was over before it began. Nick's been surprised at just how demanding his wife is.

"He feels like her skivvy and moans she has him waiting on her hand and foot. Of course, they met not long before they decided to get married so there were always going to be things they needed to learn about each other. It appears Nick's learned he doesn't like her very much."

Touch My Body singer Mariah, 38, met rapper Nick on a music video in March and they married on April 30.

At the time she said: "We feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was on the cards for me."

Nick, 27, even had ‘Mariah' tattooed across his shoulders. My source added: "That's a problem."

Hmmmm. No surprises here!
