Taye Diggs can't BUY a Show!

Once again Taye Diggs is showless! ABC has cancelled "Daybreak." I never watched the show, and apparently you didn't either. When are we going to get quality black shows? Note to Producers: If Taye looked like that picture, he may be worth watching!

Tamiko Nash!

Remember that name! Tamiko Nash was the first runner-up to Miss USA. The reigning Queen is being dethroned. Tara Connor has tested positive for Cocaine! That is a No-No! Witnesses have also come forward telling tales of debauchery. Tamiko Nash is scheduled to be crowned next week! Note to readers: This one is for Vanessa Williams! By the way, Miss Nash hails from California!

Vivica, tsk tsk tsk!

"He likes to shock people. Deep down in his heart he was trying to recapture his manhood." This is a quote from Vivica Fox regarding the nasty things 50 Cent said about her. Viv honey, you could have come back stronger than that. Considering you dressed like a 20 year old Golddigger, you really should have let his comments roll off your back. Note to readers: Never degrade yourself, and feel the need to explain. If you want to be arm-candy, take the good with the bad.

Wait A Damn Minute!

Why does everybody think they can sing? I feel like I can sing but, I know others won't agree! Therefore, I am not putting out a CD. Now, Ananda Lewis is releasing a CD! This really should be in the "What The F___?" file. Perhaps she can sing but, why make us judge? Stick to singing in the shower! In case you wanted to know, the projected release date is April 2007. Note to readers: Do you have a nasty taste in your mouth, too?

Katt Is Back!

Katt Williams was sentenced to 3 years probation after pleading no-contest to a misdemeanor firearm charge. You might remember Katt was arrested November 6th at Los Angeles International Airport, after a gun was found in his briefcase. Note to Katt: Let Snoop Dogg hold your gun at the airport! LOL

Diddy TV?

Diddy is reprising his Broadway role on Television. "A Raisin In The Sun," written by Lorraine Hansberry, and the first African-American play to go to Broadway, will be turned into a 3-hour movie. It will air on ABC in the 2007 season. Phylicia Rashad and Sonaa Lathan will also star. Production has began in Toronto, Canada. Bad Boy Entertainment will serve as Executive Producers. Diddy plays Walter Lee Jr., a role formerly played by Sidney Poitier.

SUPA BOWL?

The next Superbowl is going to be sexually charged! On the one hand there's Prince in his ass-less chaps! On the other hand there's Ciara and her pole-dancing. The censors are going to go crazy! The men are going to party like it's 1999! Janet might just get her dignity back! Who made up this line-up? Fire him/her NOW! I see trouble on the horizon. You heard it hear first. If everything is cool, forget what you heard! LOL

Golden Globe Nominations!

The Golden Globe Nominations are peppered with color this year! I already mentioned Jennifer Hudson's nom. I will ad to the list Will Smith for "The Pursuit of Happiness," Forrest Whitacker for "Last King of Scotland," and Penelope Cruz for "Volver". Beyonce and Eddie Murphy garnered Golden Globe nods for "Dreamgirls" also. Congrats to all!

Usher!

Usher opened a new wine bar in Atlanta, called THE GRAPE. He is going to open more in major cities like LA and Chicago soon.

I Hate To Say It!

I really hate to say it but, I think I'll watch the Flavor of Love spinoff. "I Love New York" will premiere on VH1, on January 2nd. I have to watch! I want to see the men who fight over Flava Flav's reject! If Flava didn't want her, why would you? I'll bet, there will be more aspiring models/actors on that show, than all reality shows combine. I hope they can act! They need to make us all believe that they REALLY want this chick!

GUESS WHAT!

Ms. Jennifer Hudson has received a Golden Globe nod for her performance in "Dreamgirls." In case you didn't know, Jennifer plays "Effie," the lead singer who gets pushed aside for a more svelte lead. I told you she was gonna get accolades! I wonder what rumor people will come up with now to take the shine off Jennifer and put it on Beyonce? Yeah, I said it! I love both the girls but, come on, Beyonce's PR people are working overtime!

WHAT THE F____?

What the F___? Foxy Brown should have never stepped out of the house in this Get-up! She needs to go to jail for this outfit alone! Inga, listen honey, I'm not sure if you know this but, YOU ARE A HAS-BEEN! O.K.? Please stop the Norma Desmond act! We are not ready for your close-up! So Back Off!

Please Excuse Me!

I appreciate any and all comments, however, I don't appreciate advertising via comments. Please excuse the comment moderating. I am trying to ensure that only TRUE comments make it through. I will not censor comments but no advertising will make it through! Thank You for your patience. Keep it POPPIN! By the way, I checked into the advertisers who are offering money for surveys, they want YOU to pay $34.95 to get started! Just as I suspected, FRAUD!

Mark Your Calendars!

March 2007, Snoop Dogg and Diddy are going on tour! Relax ladies, it a 18 city, 9 EUROPEAN country tour. Yes, that means they won't be seen in the U.S. I am so disappointed! Would I have gone? Maybe! Who doesn't love to go to a concert and get a contact high? Anyhoo, the foreigners will be enjoying this tour! Keep it POPPIN!

Auditions!

Aretha Franklin will be holding auditions for someone to portray her. The musical will be based on the 1999 autobiography, Aretha: From These Roots. I hope they let Jennifer Hudson play the part. I also would like to see LaShell Griffin do it! You know she won the talent contest on Oprah! She also hails from Detroit! This could work! I see a resemblence, don't you?

Eddie Murphy faking his way to the top?

Eddie Murphy told AP television that he feels a kinship with his character in the movie "Dreamgirls." Murphy plays James "Thunder' Early, a singer who's faking his way to the top. Eddie said he's been working since 18 in Hollywood. He also said he's been rolling and never went through the drugs and losing all his money scene. He says he is living a semi-charmed life. I love Eddie Murphy! I'm not liking the way he is handling the Mel B and baby situation but, I'm sure it's probably his PR people. Note to Eddie: Handle your business! Stop starting new relationships, when you haven't put a period on the last one! Oh, and no more stupid movies like "Pluto Nash!"

Dropped?

Assault charges against Naomi Campbell were dropped in London. The complaintant would not return to London to press charges, therefore the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. Note to readers: Should you encounter Naomi Campbell, be prepared. She can be violent at times. She has not been to Detroit! Someone here, would open a POT of whoop-ass on her! We don't play that! Detroit is not a violent town but, Naomi better recognize! I forgot to mention, the charges in Manhattan are still pending.

One Of The Most Fascinating!

Did you see Jay-Z verbally sparring with Barbra Walters, last night? Who does she think she is? Did she really think she was going to get him to divulge any info about his relationship with Beyonce? She may get others to cry but, not the ROC!

SAD NEWS!

The sister of "Baby" of Cash Money records, died yesterday in a traffic collision. Tamara Wiliams, 26, was killed when a motorist driving the wrong way, hit her Toyota Camry. I talked about Baby but, he was the mastermind of Cash Money Records. Our prayers are with you and your family.....

New Music!

I found two new artists to watch! The first is signed to Star Trak with Pharrell Williams. Her name is Teyana Taylor. Keep lookin for her. Check her out at www.myspace.com/rockstarteyana. The second is an up and coming unsigned artist named Jeree. Sound familiar? She comments alot! I checked her out, she's HOT! Check her out at www.myspace.com/jereethedon. Enjoy the music people!

What The Hell?

Did you know Evil Knievel is suing Kanye West? He's suing saying his likeness was used in the "Touch The Sky" video. Kanye dresses like him and calls himself "Evel Kanyevil." Evil Knievel has been in poor health, as of late. Kanye pay the damn man! Every time WE do something THEY wanna sue! WE should sue everytime THEY use an air conditioner or everytime THEY stop at a stoplight or everytime THEY feed their children peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! See where I'm going with this? Yeah, I thought that you would! Hell, did Elvis sue HIM for stealing his jumpsuit? NO! Note to readers: Sorry about the tangent! THEY just irk me sometimes!

Damn! That Dress!

Say what you wanna! This dress is Fire! Beyonce showed up at the LA premiere of "Dreamgirls" in this hot number! I'll bet her momma didn't make this one!

STAR'S BACK!

Star Jones is coming to TV1! She plans to executive produce "Black America." the show will address black concerns. Are we sure she can handle "black" concerns? Any black person could have told her NOT to trust Barbra Walters! Why do THEY always want to come back to black after they feel betrayed? Star always talked about being black but, she never BET on black! In other words, never believe that THEY will treat you as an equal. Star is an attorney yet, they out talked her constantly. Note to readers: Welcome Star home, she needs all the support she can get!

What A Dilemma!

I'm not sure how to put this! Other sources say that Queen Latifah and her "girlfriend/trainer," Jeanette Jenkins, are on the verge of a break-up. I hesitate to report this because Latifah has not said that she is gay! People have assumed this because she doesn't discuss her lovelife and won't address the gay rumor. Anyhoo, allegedly, the pair have been seen and heard fighting at their hotel in Toronto. Queen Latifah is shooting the movie version of "Hairspray" with John Travolta. I don't know how much truth there is to this but, I had to let yall know! I'm not one to gossip, so yall didn't hear this from me! LOL

Jada! How Sweet!

We talk about how much the stars give! Jada Pinkett-Smith has given her high school $1 million dollars. The Baltimore Performing Arts school, happens to be the alma mater of Tupac also. Jada has asked that a theater be built and named after Tupac Amaru Shakur. This is such a gracious gift. If you watch "The Wire," you know that Baltimore will benefit greatly from this gift! Note to readers: I still say that there are too many stars, for charities to have to ask US! In case you didn't know, Jada and Tupac were classmates and friends. She was in the "Keep Ya Head Up" video!

Superbowl Action!

Prince is scheduled to perform at the Superbowl! You think Janet showed a nipple? Wait till Prince comes out in his "ASS-LESS CHAPS!" LOL Just Kidding! My God-mother, Josephine, says that Prince's club "3121" is rocking in the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas! I'll give you firsthand knowledge in February. That's right baby, I'll be blogging from Vegas! Note to readers: Love your comments, KEEP THEM COMING!

Jigga!

Jay-z, the Jigga-Man, is being interviewed, Tuesday night, by Barbra Walters. He was named One of the "Ten important People." I suspect she'll try to talk to him about the awareness he's brought to the water, or lack thereof, in Africa. She'll probably throw in some questions about Beyonce. I believe this is the interview that sparked the last wedding rumors! Be very careful Jay-Z! Ususally when you do these types of interviews, they try to bring you down, soon after! Remember Mike Tyson? I'm just sayin.... You know what your mother always said! What happens in my house, stays in my house! Sidenote: Jay-Z is being sued by wrestler Diamond Dallas Page. The wrestler says Jay-Z and Rocafella stole his trademark diamond symbol. (As demonstrated in the picture)

IS SHE CRAZY?

Foxy Brown was called to court unexpectantly on Monday. Failure to comply with violation terms, was the reason. The District Attorney told the court the Foxy missed appointments with her probation officer, missed anger management classes and did not submit to drug testing. Foxy told the reporters, outside court, that she complied with everything, and this is only happening to her because she's "Foxy Brown!" I say, "Give her jail time!" She needs three hots and a cot! That will make her remember her name is "Inga Marchand!" That is her real name, ya know! That lipstick is disgusting!

SAD DAY!

It's a sad day for some! Gay ladies, all over the world, are crying their eyes out! Lisa Leslie and her husband Michael Lockwood are expecting a child! Yall did know that Lisa has a large lesbian following, didn't you? Anyhoo, she is due in June and is very excited! Lisa will sit out the 2007 season and return in 2008. Note to readers: This is not to offend my lesbian readers, this is REAL TALK! That's going to be a long baby! Keep it POPPIN!

WELL WELL WELL!

Nicole Richie was arrested Monday morning for drunk driving. Witnesses called 911 after spotting a 2005 Black Mercedes SUV, driving the wrong way on the highway! I feel no sympathy for her! She really could have killed someone. Somebody needs to do an intervention! Anyhoo, the rap sheet listed her as 5'1 and 85 pounds. It's a wonder she didn't just blow home! She isn't even a buck-five drunk! LOL Note to readers: This is her real mug shot! LOL

Sidenote!

My friend Brian is being REBORN, today! My prayers are with you and your wife and family! You will be up and around in no time! In the meantime, I'll KEEP IT POPPIN, for you! Note to Readers: Become organ donors! For more information go to www.NationalKidneyFoundation.org

Lil Wayne, Please Stop!

Lil Wayne, did an interview with Complex Magazine, for the December/January issue. Wayne wanted to address the 'infamous' kiss! He said,"Baby came into the house and said that everybody is on that mafia shit, and that is how we will be." So apparently the kiss is supposed to be a sign of respect. Lil Wayne also went on to say," Baby isn't the only one I kissed. I kissed BG and Juvenile." What's wrong with this picture? Perhaps mob figures use a kiss on the cheek as respect but, is Baby in the mob? Another case of people trying to be someone else. I don't care WHO walks into a house and suggests that you kiss them, you need to have your own mind! I would have rather had LIL Wayne say, "I kissed him because he is a father figure." Nothing wrong with that! His excuse was minutia!

I'M BACK!!!

Hello people, I'm back from the Jay-Z and Beyonce nuptials, that never happened. Okay, Okay, So I didn't go! I didn't miss much! They just took 20 of their closest friends and family to St. Maarten and rented two 270 feet yachts. They feasted and partied well into the night. That doesn't even sound like fun to me! I am SO lying! Well, I guess we are going to have to watch their next vacation! Keep it POPPIN!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT?

Senator Barack Obama, sparked a frenzy by visiting New Hampshire. For those who don't know, New Hampshire is a Presidential Primary state. When folks saw him coming, they assumed he would be running for President. Ever the intelligent man, Obama said, " That is not a position to enter into lightly." I agree! You know they want an intelligent black man to run, so that he can be blamed for the sad state-of-affairs we're in now! I can hear THEM saying now that WE are the reason for the deficit and the low enrollment of the armed forces. Oh, and of course, we'll be blamed for Iraq! Everybody knows what happened there but, it will still be Obama"s fault. George Dubya, will go back to the ranch $300 million dollars richer and with quite a substantial oil business. With this in mind, I hope Barack Obama thinks long and hard before he makes his decision.

"The Wire" Finale!

Tonight is the finale of "The Wire." I made the mistake of going onto the myspace page of a character, and SOMEBODY told me what happens tonight. I won't spoil it for you but, bring tissues! I also hear that the next season won't be until 2008! I'm still working to verify this! If you work on "The Wire", and you are reading this, please DON'T wait so long! SOME of US are addicted!
