GAME OVER!!!!!

Michael and Juanita Jordan have filed for divorce, again! This time it's for keeps. The petition was filed today, and stated that "the reconciliation attempt has failed and any other attempts would not be in the best interest of the family." The Jordans have 3 children and have been married since 1989. Note to groupies and hoochies: He's all yours ladies! Not that his ring ever meant a damn thang!

ROAD RAGE!

The rapper, Styles P, was involved in a road rage incident recently. Apparently Styles P was cut off by a semi-truck. Styles, in turn, races to cut off the truck. It doesn't end there, Styles exits his car and throws napkins at the truck drivers window. The truck driver moves forward hitting Styles and breaking his leg. The truck driver, John Henson, has been charged with aggravated assault and Styles P is nursing a broken leg. Note to readers: What the hell was in those napkins? LOL People, count to ten and let it go! Who REALLY wins in this situation?

True Or False!

The rumor mills are buzzing! They are telling me that Nelly and Ashanti are engaged! These types of rumors circulate constantly but, it could be true. Apparently Nelly popped the question over the Christmas holidays. Ashanti said, "BANANAS!" LOL Note to readers: This is alledged! I am still working on confirmation.

Mike Tyson's DUI!

Mike Tyson was arrested last night for Driving under the influence. He was pulled over after leaving a nightclub in Arizona and nearly colliding with a Sheriff. Oh, did I forget to mention, they found cocaine on Mike Tyson and in his car? Note to readers: This man will do anything to stay in the spotlight! Just two months ago he was willing to start boxing women! What a loser! Don't tell him I said that! LOL

Top Makeovers For 2006!

According to People Magazine, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Hudson and Whitney Houston top the makeovers for 2006. I don't consider weight loss a makeover. Whitney's transformation was the best of 2006!

Aww How Cute!

Kobe spent some time with one of his daughters. How could a man jeopardize his family by messing with groupies? Note to readers: I wonder if that rape case woke Kobe up?

A Super Female Rap Group?

I hear that a Super Rap Group is forming! Remy Ma, Shawnna and Jacki-O are said to be joining forces. I am sure my "What The F___?" file will be working overtime. These tatooed wannabees are only trying to sell CDs. I wish them well. Perhaps they'll run into Foxy and enlist her services. Doubt it! Anyhoo, what do you think about this collaboration?

2 New Movies!

I saw the trailers for 2 new movies. I've got to see them! The first is "I Think I Love My Wife." This movie stars Chris Rock as a bored husband. He has the perfect wife (Gina Torres)but, a friend from the past (Kerry Washington) wants to put the pizazz back into his marriage. Considering what's going on with Chris Rock and his real wife Malaak, this movie could be art imitating life! The second movie is called "Stomp The Yard." It's basically a movie about dancing. Reminiscent of "You Got Served." I like it because of the Historically Black College setting. I also like the fraternity step-show scenes. It stars the usual Megan Good as the "love interest" and newcomers like "Ne-yo" and "Chris Brown." Go see it! It looks entertaining. Note to readers: If we could give Marques Houston and Omarion a chance, we can give Chris Brown one. Note to sisters: There will not be a shortage of fine men!!!!!

President Gerald Ford

President Gerald Ford,93, passed away December 26th at 6:45 p.m. at his home in Rancho Mirage, California. He was surrounded by his loved ones. Ford played a pivotal role in politics. He was the President to fix Watergate and clean up after Richard Nixon. He is survived by his wife Betty Ford and children and grandchildren. I feel especially close to him because as a boy he spent most of his time in Grand Rapids Michigan. He also played football at University of Michigan, and was drafted by the Detroit Lions but, opted to go to Yale for a Law Degree.

Posthumous Movie For James Brown

Spike Lee has signed on to direct a movie about the late James Brown. Brian Grazer will produce and the movie was in the works before Brown died. Posthumous movies for Ray Charles and Johnny Cash have netted Oscar nominations. Note to readers: What took them so long? It would have been nice if he could have seen the movie! Anyhoo, the hardest working man in showbiz, will be on the big screen soon! R.I.P. James Brown...

Say It Ain't So!

The group 112 will no longer be! They plan to do solo projects from now on. Daron Jones has already stepped up his game. He has produced projects for Jamie Fox, Keysha Cole, Pink and Usher. The remaining members(Mike, Q and Slim) are touring as a trio but, plan their own solo joints. I'm going to miss them! No more "Cupid" or "Peaches And Cream." Where will we find another whiner like Slim? I hope they reconsider.

Brown's Widow Homeless!

Tomi Rae Brown, the wife of James Brown, has been denied access to their home. Tomi Rae says after her husbands death his lawyers and accountants padlocked the gate. She says she was at a retreat when her husband died. She says that she is penniless and has nowhere to go. Note to readers: Isn't it funny that she appears after his death? Where was the five year old son? I think that James Brown was about to divorce her. Why else would a 73 year old, still be touring?

R.I.P. James Brown

James Brown passed away today at 1:45 a.m. A true entertainer, Mr. Brown was often imitated but never duplicated. Born May 3, 1933, his career spanned 50 years. Mr. Brown was hospitalized Sunday December 24th , with pneumonia. Everytime we see an entertainer dancing, we'll remember "THE GODFATHER OF SOUL." Note to readers: Today pull out your James Brown albums and listen. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
