I’m inclined to believe that R. Kelly will do and say almost anything to get off in his child pornography case. First, defense lawyers claim that the man in the infamous video having sex with an underaged girl (a child!) does not have a mole, while they maintain that R. Kelly does. Okay. Next, they ask one of the prosecution’s witness how she knows that that is R. Kelly’s body is attached to his face. I’m just waiting for what’s next, like someone will get up on the stand and say that R. Kelly is not the one on the tape because he usually pees to the left.

So far, witnesses have ID’d Kellz as the man in the video. It’s only a matter of time now. It’s obvious that his body was telling him yes, but i’m not sure whether his mind had any say so.

 

Yeah, yeah, I know. He’s part owner of the Nets, right? That’s what you were going to tell me. I get it. So your boy Hov will be on hand tonight in Secaucus, New Jersey to help select the order of the teams in the NBA draft lottery. Jay-Z is supposed to be one of 14 people to be there with NBA Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver to help make the big selection.

“This is very exciting and I hope my nickname ‘Lucky Lefty’ holds up,” said S-Dot in a statement. Uh…lucky lefty?

Am I really supposed to believe that he’s got that much influence on the team?

 

Just watched that video where Diddy gives props to Kanye West and his glow in the dark tour. Diddy says that he’s in love with hip-hop again, after going to the Kanye West show, which took place last week in NYC. Now, because I love talking about beef between artists, I thought it was worth my attention to shed  light on the fact that diddy was on some positive ish.

It was particularly funny to me when diddy says this was “bitch-ass-ness-free.”

Now, I have yet to see this show because no one has sent me any tickets, but I think I’m going to let my pride down and ask someone for some tickets. “The concert changed my live,” says Diddy. “I’m in love with hip-hop again.”

This is so beautiful, i might cry. Can i get some tickets? and no, i will not sit in nose bleeds.

It ain’t even right that XXL would expose a pregnant person like that. Wait til I talk to Datwon about this. They should have put him on a stretcher and got that baby out immediately. A Baby stuck in the belly of the beast…a shame. 

Seriously though, did they use a wind machine to get that effect? I’m so confused.

Y’all need to stop laughing. Now you know just because he is laid out like this doesn’t mean he still won’t beat you silly. Haha.

I am sooooo buying this magazine when it comes out on Friday. I have to confess that I am one of those people who will pick up a good tabloid style story when it’s worth it. Nick and Mariah did an exclusive interview in People magazine, and this wedding is really starting to reek of publicity stunt if I ever saw one. “We really do feel we are soulmates,” Mariah tells the magazine in an exclusive interview, and then Nick Cannon gives his cheezy comments, “She is beautiful on the outside and ten times as beautiful on the inside.”

Apparently, the couple is also supposed to talk about their wedding, their future kids, matching tattoos (shoot me now), and then some. It’s so bad that it’s good and I wanna read. LOL.

Hey, good for Mariah if she’s happy…which she proclaims “I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me.” Ha. Well, I’m not sure if she’s actually playing with a full deck, but something is definitely in her cards.

 

You know I waits for the Kanye moment! LOL. Now, I’m sure you’ve heard about the review in Entertainment Weekly, when the magazine rated his “Glow In The Dark” tour a B+. That’s right, you read it. They gave him a mere B+! I know you’re thinking how dare they, right ? (NOT). Well, Kanye went off on his blog, saying there are only two grades A+ and F-, and he continued to go off on the magazine, ordering them to bow to him. Blah blah blah in usual Kanye spaz language. Then a few days later, he calmed down, updated his blog, and took some of it back. Uh. I don’t get it. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Kanye take back a spazz.

Here’s my issue. And I know Kanye personally, so I usually support the things he does because he’s a genuine person. And sometimes he has a point, but his points usually get lost in the spazz factor. As it did here.

I’m going to go out on a limb (read: sarcasm) and say that once an artist reaches the Kanye level, they put so much damn stock in the mainstream press…as if Entertainment Weekly really cares?? It’d be nice if I believed that the two tickets + press passes + whatever else went to EW actually was the same thing that the hip hop press/writers across the board got, but I know these days that isn’t the case. (When someone i know asked for tickets, they told me they got shut down by his label, on some “don’t even ask for kanye tickets”). So it makes me wonder what makes most hip hop artists like Kanye feel the need to cater to magazines like Entertainment Weekly who writes reviews using words like Nietzschean and malaise (speak English!) and every other press outlet that doesn’t CARE-RA-RA-RA.  Seems like Entertainment Weekly and mags of its kind make rappers want to explore their inner intellect. Big words shouldn’t make a difference. Who’s bowing down to who now?

Kanye, keep spazzing on everybody, but be an equal opportunity spazzer.

Apparently, Mariah Carey married Nick Cannon yesterday. According to Latina.com and TMZ.com, the two wed in the Bahamas, in a small private ceremony that was attended by close friends of the fairly new couple. Da Brat was there. I know, random. The whole thing is random. I don’t know who or what I’m more weirded out by. The fact that an R&B superstar like Mariah would dip in the baby pool and not just mess with, but marry!, Nick Cannon or that a promising actor/artist like Nick Cannon would fall for a not-so-together Mariah. I’m so confused. More confusing is the theybf blog’s report that Alicia Keys is with Swizz Beatz. What is going on? The celebrity couple thing has officially gotten way out of hand.
