HOLD UP! WHAT?

Last night, The Game was arrested in Manhattan! Apparently Jayceon Taylor(his real name), hailed a cab and told the driver to speed through the lights, because he was an undercover cop. The driver did as he was told and, was pulled over by the police for erratic driving. When he told the police what he was told, The Game was arrested for impersonating an undercover officer. I'm sure the charges won't stick! This may be a publicity stunt to coincide with the release of his latest CD. Note to The Game: POLICE-U-NOT! LOL! I'm not surprised! He impersonates a Gangster!

TELL ME!

This is a publicity picture taken at McDonalds for charity. It's for The Ronald Mcdonald's House. Such a nice photo-op. Why is it that Mario's partner, Karina, still looks salty? She really thought they were gonna win! She probably regrets trying to look like they were in a relationship. Note to Karina: Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! So it didn't work. Keep It Poppin, Girl!

Look At This!!

Jay-Z and Fantasia, showed up at the 13th Annual Dinner sponsored by The Living Legends Foundation, in New York on Thursday. O.K. normally I love Fantasias's hair but, what the hell? It looks like cats have been sucking on it! Both artists have releases pending. Jay-Z's CD, Kingdom Come drops November 21st. Fantasia's, self titled, CD drops December 12th. Note to Fantasia: Go back to your normal hairdresser, QUICKLY!

THE DIARY OF JAY-Z: WATER FOR LIFE

That's the name of a documentary that was shown to the UN today. It follows Jay-Z as he reminisces about his childhood, in the Marcy Projects. It also follows Jay-Z in South Africa, when he gets a first-hand look at the shanty towns. Jay-Z talks about his reasons for taking on the water situations, in South Africa. The documentary airs November 24th, on MTV. Note to Jay-Z: Thanks!!
Note to other Rappers: Enough with the clothing lines! Help somebody else!

STAND UP!!!

Allen Iverson will pay for the funeral of a fan who died 3 years after being shot, for not giving up his Iverson jersey to a group of teens. Kevin Johnson, 22, passed away, after his family decided to remove him from life support. Iverson said he's tired of the killing in Philadelphia. He went on to say, one man can't end it but, one man can help. Note to self: I used to have a problem with Iverson. I now realize that he is a giveing person, off the court. Imagine if all players stood up and said enough of the violence!!!

NEW COUPLE ALERT!

New couple alert! Get This! Derek(I am so fine) Jeter has apparently been seen around town with Jessica(Whistler's daughter) Biel. You remember her don't you? She was in Blade; Trinity, as Whistler's daughter. I think they make a rather cute couple. Note to self: Stop lying!

Deja Vu!!

Beyonce opened the World Music Awards with her hit song "Deja Vu!" The show was hosted by Lindsay Lohan and has the first performance (since his acquittal)by Michael Jackson. I hear it wasn't the best performance but, I like Mike!!! Note to self: Watch the airing of the show, judge for myself....

Whitney's Home on The Chopping Block?

According to People.com, Whitney Houston's home is in jeopardy. The house is $1 million dollars behind in taxes. The home in suburban New Jersey, is the home in question. Perhaps Whitney wants to make a new start, since leaving Bobby. Whitney is on her way back, I am sure that she will prevail.

EMMITT! EMMITT! EMMITT!

Did ya see it? Emmitt took home the trophy! I was so happy! The best man and woman won! I was especially happy after I saw the response of Mario's partner. She didn't even try to act happy! Then when asked if she had anything to say to Mario, she said "I think Mario was the best man to me!" Cmon, show some sportsmanship. Kids are watching and you're acting childish. Anyhoo, Emmitt was my choice from day one. As soon as I saw him move, I chose him. Even if you wanted Mario to win, there's no denying Emmitts moves! Note to Emmitt: You kept it Poppin, BABY!

LORD, WHERE'S DAVE ?

Dave Chapelle, was scheduled to perform his HBO Comedy Festival in Las Vegas tomorrow but, has cancelled. I don't know about him. He said he fled the country before because he felt he was being used by Comedy Central. What's the excuse now? His Reps gave no reason. I just think if you are having issues with your contract, stand up and face it! Hopefully, Dave is just resting and not running. Note to Dave: I love you, you're creative and very funny. We wanna see you! So, come back, OK?

FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT!!

People really have their priorities screwed up. According to Black Voices, financial Section, buyers of Mercedes and other luxury cars, are buying lettering and emblems to make their cars appear more expensive. So, if you're driving a Mercedes 500, you purchase for $65, the AMG emblem, to make your car look more expensive. Say What? Who needs to perpetrate, to that extent? Listen, with this economy, if you can afford a Mercedes at all, you're doing good. Is there someone really looking for that AMG emblem? Is someone really saying " you know he/she is driving a Mercedes but, it's not an AMG?" People wake up!

Congratulations!

ANOTHER COMING OUT!!

Apparently the Advocate magazine, got the scoop on actress Michelle Rodriguez(Fast and the Furious). She has allegedly been in a relationship with actress Kristanna Loken. What is in the water? I'm not shocked at Michelle Rodriguez but, Kristanna Loken? We wish them well!!

OH, NO SHE DIDN'T!!!

This morning, Deelishus called the Russ Parr morning Show, complaining about their comments on her dress. She said "We, celebrities, are always bothered by Blogs and paparazzi, saying bad things about us!" Deelishus, first of all, anything someone says keeps you in our hearts and minds. Don't take these things personally. I really hated the dress! It doesn't mean I dislike you! I think you represent the "D" well. You are articulate and very genuine. Unfortunately, that dress showed none of that. Concentrate on Flav, and Keep It Poppin! Note To Deelishus: Burn that dress! I mean It!!!! Note to self: Is being Flavor Flav's arm candy, celebrity status? I don't think so!!!

KATT IS BACK!!!!

It wouldn't be a show without a performance by Snoop Dogg! Here, Snoop is maxxin with Styles P. The show was emceed by Katt Williams. Katt and Snoop have alot in common, lately. Both need to check their luggage before going to the airport. Katt got out of jail, just in time, to host the event. In case you didn't know, Katt adopted 8 children. I wonder who kept the kids while he was in jail? Don't you think that he should have been in a special cell for height challenged people? Note to Jay-Z fans: I hear he performs tonight also!!! Not many women represented, what's up with that????

The Gangs All Here!

Nelly, The Franchize Boyz, Fabulous and even Travis Barker was there. O.K. what's up with the prison picture poses. Don't ya'll know better than that. Quit trying to look hard!

He Can Stand The Rain!!

Ronnie Bell, New Edition, was there chillin with Jermaine Dupree. Ronnie is very heavily into Real Estate now, and making a killing at it. I ain't mad at you Ronnie!! The Game is also performing tonight, I have no interest in that at all. I am not feelin the Game. He is so fake to me. I must move on...

LUDA-LUDA!

With the BET Award show in his backyard(Atlanta), Ludacris had to show up. He's scheduled to perform also. A funny thing happened at the show, it was taped over the weekend, during Young Jeezy's performance. He had women dancing around poles, like "Chocolate City," and one women apparently lost her grip. Pay close attention to the left side of your television tonight. Ha Ha Ha!!!

Super Producer!

Super producer, Jazze Phe, was in the house. Did you know that Denise(Niecy) Williams is his mother? That's where the talent comes from. I wonder if he can sing? Jim Jones performs tonight, "Ballin." Hopefully he won't pull all 600 people, from the remix, onstage with him. Let's not drag this thing out.. Keep It Poppin, People!

LOOKED WHO SHOWED UP!

Keyshia Cole showed up. That BET reality show of hers, left a bad impression. She appeared to have "Diva" ways. I can't imagine why! Two semi-hits, and you're a "Diva?" Grandmaster Flash received a Lifetime Award. It's overdue! The First All-Star DJ, in the game.

That Old Black Magic and More...

Flava Flav and Deelishus came out to party. This pose says, "I knew being with Flav would open a lot of doors for me!" This dress says " I have more ass than class!" Remember Yo-Yo? She was my fave rapper. Why all the boobalage? She went from "Bonnie and Clyde" to "I wanna show my hyde." Moving On... Note to self: I told ya'll Flav was a magician!!

THE BET HIP-HOP AWARDS TONIGHT!!

If you don't have BET or you don't want to hear all the "Thank You God" references, I'll give you some low-down on the awards. If you plan on watching, skip my next few blogs!!!

OPRAH ADOPTING?

Yes, Oprah has adopted 10 African children. Just when you think she can't do any more, she does MORE. She said she wanted to make life better for these children. I applaud this, I only hope that people don't forget about the children here, who deserve a better life. Oprah, is so selfless that she is headed for martyrdom. If one third of the celebrities used their money the way Oprah does, there would be no need for telethons, when disasters happen. Note to Celebrities: Pay it Forward! It comes back ten-fold! Oprah gives because she receives. A closed hand never gives and can't receive!!

BACK BY (SOMEWHAT) POPULAR DEMAND!!!

Tyrese, I can see why your first occupation was modeling. Those abs, those chiseled cheekbones and almond eyes. It wasn't hard to find more body shots, he obviously loves his chest. I think the black and white photo, shows his beautiful eyes, well. Anonymous, I'm accepting your challenge. Enjoy!! Note to self: STOP drooling!!

Where In The World Is????

Where is Sisqo? I haven't seen him in ages! The last I heard of him, he had been arrested for firing a weapon in his front yard! They say his girlfriend(beard) was being harrassed by someone. To save her honor, he shot a gun at the alleged perpetrator. The whole damn story sounds crazy but, I read it in the newspaper. I'm going in search of... I'm going to find him if it's the last thing I do. Note to self: Face it he's gone,ga gone, gone, gone...

BEAT IT!

The mother of Michael Jackson's latest accuser, has pled no-contest to Welfare fraud. The mother(Janet Jackson, no, seriously that's her name by marriage!) will do community service and pay $8600.00 back in restitution. Say what you want about Michael but, this lady should have been charged with child endangerment or contributing to the delinquency of a minor. If you continue to leave your children with an accused child molester(even if the charges have never been substantiated) you are guilty of failing your children! We as parents keep our children away from those people we deem creepy or suspect, why is it we will drop them off at Neverland Ranch, and think it is OK? Note to All Accuser's parents: If I were in Law Enforcement, you would be in jail,RIGHT NOW. Suing for money does not remove the scars!!! SO JUST BEAT IT!!!!!!

YOU GOT SERVED!!!!

Anna Nicole Smith was served with eviction papers today. The owner of the home in The Bahamas, also had the power company turn off the power. Smith is angry with the owner for telling Larry Birkhead(alleged baby-daddy) that she told him the baby was his. The owner told her that he had a vasectomy, so the baby couldn't be his. Note to Anna: It's not often that men are coming out of the woodwork, trying to be your baby-daddy. Although, $400 million can make anybody claim paternity. I say contact Maury, and get this over with! Anna, you are an idiot!!!!

Monday!!!

Need I say what's gonna happen tonight? Oh yeah, "Prison Break!" I'm getting mentally prepared, as I write. The early part of the day is so boring. I watch "106 And Park," and I long for AJ and Free. Terrence J and Rocsi, just ain't doing it for me. Their interviews are so contrived. Free and AJ made you think you were eavesdropping on their house, while stars were visiting. I think they should get their own show on another network. Uh Oh, one hour till you-know-what comes on!!! Note to Readers: Wanna know about something or someone? Drop me a comment and I'll find what I can. Big Up, Izzi! Good lookin out Bri, Ash, Chris, Lil Chris and Wordswork!!!! Poppin, Out!!!

NOT ENOUGH FOR ME!!!!

Texas awarded a man $450,000, for his wrongful conviction of Sexual assault. DNA exonerated the man, after he spent 18 years in jail. Is $450K enough for you? Not for me!!! How can they put a price on MY life. Remember, he spent 23 hours in lockdown. Multiply those hours by maybe, 10. Then, multiply that by, 60. I am too claustrophobic for $450,000. Note to self: Breathe!!!

Don't Stop Quitting!!!

The 30th anniversay of the Great American Smokeout is here. This is a personal battle to me. I quit smoking over 2 years ago. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. If you are trying, don't quit, quitting. Hang in there! Note to self: Buy more sunflower seeds...

Finally, The Dream Is A Reality!!

Forty years after his famous "I Have A Dream" speech, Martin Luther King Jr., will get his come-uppance. A $100 million dollar monument is being errected, in his honor. The monument will be in Washington, near the Lincoln Memorial. This is the site where he delivered his famous speech, August 28, 1963. I wish that his wife, Coretta Scott King, had lived to see the monument errected. I understand, she saw the plans and was very pleased. Here At Last....

WHAT YOU WANNA BET?

I'll bet next year, this time, we will be saying "What's his name again?" In the meantime, somebody probably paid these people to pose with him. They probably told them to "act like fans." (snicker-snicker)

Hands Up Now, Wave and Wave!

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrating the one year anniversary of the opening of 40/40 Club in Atlantic City. Partying with friends and drinking $300 Armand de Brignac Champagne. Note to Jay-Z: If I got one GLASS of this Champagne, could I sell it for $30? How about a CUP? Anyhoo, KEEP THE BOTTLES, ON-AND-POPPIN!!!!

Justin Timberlake, You've Got To Explain!!

On the wire, I keep hearing that Justin Timberlake has a diss song on his CD. Allegedly, this track is directed toward Janet Jackson. Considering he ran like a little girl, during the Super Bowl incident, he really ought to chill and say nothing. Here are the lyrics, you tell me what you think..
COULD YOU SPEAK UP AND STOP THE MUMBLING,
I DON'T THINK YOU CAME IN CLEAR.
SITTING ON TOP IT'S HARD TO HEAR YOU FROM WAY UP HERE.
I SAW YOU TRYING TO ACT CUTE ON "TV"
JUST LET ME CLEAR THE AIR
WE MISSED YOU ON THE CHARTS LAST WEEK
DAMN, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU WASN'T THERE.

Note to Justin: Hopefully, this isn't directed towards Janet. Remember dissing a woman never makes you bigger. It only shows that you were immasculated when you ran and she stood and took the fall. Keep it POPPIN!

Allegedly!!

Allegedly, Superhead is coming out with three more books. Do we even care anymore? These books are supposed to finally name Papa! Who Cares? On the side, I also hear that Bobby Brown is not the FATHER! Note to Superhead: Tick Tock, times up! That was a fast 15 minutes of fame!!!

Why?

FOX has pulled the show "Justice" from it's lineup. I liked that show! I guess I was the only one. I liked the way they charged and went through a trial, never letting you know if the person was guilty or innocent. Then, at the end they showed what REALLY happened! Oh well, better that show than "Prison Break." Note to FOX Executives: Don't you dare touch "Prison Break." OH, and Keep it Poppin'!!!

BET Awards spoiler!!!!

If you don't wanna know, scroll down! My fave Rapper has won 3 BET awards. He won Best hip-hop video, Best hip-hop CD and MVP of the year!! That's what I'm talking about. In case you don't know who I'm talking about, it's none other than, T.I. Loves me some T.I. Kudos, Boo! Note to T.I.: I love you but, lay off the chicken. Your chest is starting to resemble it.... I'm just sayin....
