Nevada Supreme Court Considers Simpson Appeal

A trio of Nevada Supreme Court justices focused Monday on whether O.J. Simpson received a fair trial in a gunpoint hotel room heist and whether the case was so unique that he should be freed from prison while his appeal is considered.

"This is post-conviction. That's what concerns me," Justice Michael Cherry declared during rare oral arguments by lawyers about whether the former football star should be allowed to post bond while his appeal is pending. Cherry, the chairman of the three-judge panel considering the bond request, didn't say how long he and the justices might take to decide. It appeared unlikely a ruling would come before an Aug. 12 deadline for Clark County District Attorney to file a written answer to Simpson's appeal.

It is unusual for the Nevada Supreme Court, the state's only appeals court, to hear oral arguments about bond, and it would be even more unusual for Simpson to be released. The justices are weighing whether Simpson might flee, whether he poses a danger to the community, and if they have a good chance of winning their appeals.

If I stole my own shit, you must acquit!

Chris Rock's "Good Hair" official trailer

Sundance Film Festival Award Winning documentary coming to theatres in October...

I'm going to jump in here WMS and ask our readers a few questions.

Be honest: do you ever make reference to someone having "good hair" or "bad hair"? Do you use the word "nappy"? Have you ever wished you could change the texture of your hair? Have you ever looked at a potential date/mate and evaluated what their hair might mean for your children? Hmmmmm?

I like these better than most of Kanye's designs. These are understated. I'm sure they are still overpriced.

Wayne Brady to Host "Let's Make A Deal"

The game show "Let's Make a Deal" is coming back to daytime television.

CBS says that an updated version of the show will debut Oct. 5, with Wayne Brady as host. The network says that the premise of audience members trying to win cash and prizes by making "wacky deals" will be intact.

Monty Hall, longtime host of the original "Let's Make a Deal," is a consultant on the new show. It will replace "Guiding Light," the soap opera that's ending its more than five-decade run Sept. 21.
CBS programming chief Nina Tassler told the Television Critics Association that the change represents a "very tough transition" for the network, and that three game show pilots were scrutinized before "Let's Make a Deal" won out.

They shoulda kept Guiding Light.

The Pussycat Dolls have split up. Considering I haven't paid attention since "Don'tcha", I can't say I'm at all surprised.

Weezy stay starting some mess

Drake goes down with a knee injury or whooping cough or whatever he claims, and surprise,surprise,surprise, singer Chris Brown jumped on stage at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Virginia Beach Sunday night for Lil' Wayne's America's Most Wanted Tour. The Young Money gig was Brown's first public appearance since releasing a video on July 20 in which he apologized to Rihanna for the assault on the eve of the Grammys. It is unclear if Brown who lives in Virginia, will be performing on other dates on the tour, which is scheduled to last through August 23.

Lil' Wayne brought Chris Brown out as the surprise guest and Chris sang his "Every Girl" duet with Weezy. He then broke out into an impromptu tribute to Michael Jackson including a dance set to "Billie Jean." Weezy hailed him as a great performer and crowned Chris the "New King of Pop."

Bwoy stop!

You see what a firestorm Kanye started with that mess...

Breaking News: Pres. Bill Clinton will go to Korea

President Obama is sending former President Bill Clinton to North Korea to negotiate the release of two journalists who were detained for "hostile acts" and illegally entering the country at the border with China. The journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee have admitted they illegally crossed the border and have been sentenced to 12 years' hard labor. Laura Ling is actress Lisa Ling's sister. It is expected Pres. Clinton will also discuss North Korea's universally condemned long-range nuclear testing carried out in recent months.

Lighten it up: Hello! Isn't Hillary the Secretary of State? I think she's just trying to get Bill away from another woman by sending him half-way around the world. I guess Bill was having a little too much fun up in Harlem.

Note: this story is so new, the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea is still verifying it.

Breaking News: Katherine Jackson Gets Permanent Custody

A Los Angeles judge has awarded permanent custody of Michael Jackson's three children, Prince Michael, Paris Michael, and Prince Michael II, to Michael's mother, Katherine Jackson thus accepting the custody agreement brokered between Katherine and Michael's ex-wife Debbie Rowe. Under the agreement, Katherine would retain permanent custody while Debbie would retain her parental rights and get visitation rights, but no monetary compensation and no say over the Jackson estate.

Katherine Jackson holds her first interview since Michael's death

Mrs. Katherine Jackson held a phone interview with Fox News' "Geraldo At Large" marking her first public statements since the death of her son, Michael Jackson. 79-year-old Jackson denied rumors that her husband, Joe, is exiled from the family compound and not permitted to see Michael's children.
"I don't know why they're saying he's not being allowed in the house," Katherine says. "My husband's never done nothing of the sort that they trying to say he did 39 years ago. I don't understand that, and I just believe it's something that they cooked up."
When asked if Joe was a good grandfather she replied, "Of course he is. And the children will tell you that he is."
Katherine also touched on the circumstances surrounding Michael's death saying, "All I know is that my son is dead, and I don't think he just died of natural causes or whatever," she says. "He's too young for that. Something happened, I don't know what it was and I can't say."
Frankly, I think Katherine is reluctant to admit Joe abused his children because that might point fingers at her as well. As for Joe not being in the home or seeing his grandchildren, that is more than evident. He does not live with her, he has his own thing going on, and he is not consulted with the majority of family decisions regarding Michael and his children. That does not sound like he is still the respected patriarch.

By the way, Michael should have gone to her surgeon because girlfriend looks fabulous for her age!

Corazon Aquino passed away this weekend

Tens of thousands of Filipinos lines the streets to bid farewell to the Phillippines' first female president, Corazon Aquino. Pres. Aquino passed away Saturday after a long battle with colon cancer. Mrs. Aquino came to power in 1986 following in the shoes of her slain husband, Benigno "Noy Noy" Aquino. Mrs. Aquino ran against dictator Ferdinand Marcos but lost amid voting irregularities and widespead cheating. A military coup then overthrew Marcos and sent him into exile, installing Aquino amongst widespread support from the Filipino population. The street demonstrations in which ordinary people formed a live blockade to protect the military mutineers and nuns knelt in front of tanks clutching the rosary began a wave of grassroots activism which spread across the globe; The Aquino-inspired uprising is credited as one of the inspirations behind the toppling of the Berlin Wall and the end of Communist isolation of East Germany, as well as serving as the model for other popular uprisings throughout Asia and the Soviet Union.

The Game sued for getting his Jerry Springer on

Remember when The Game made the news last year for beating down his own cousin at a relative's funeral? Robert Kirkwood claims The Game agreed to pay for a portion of his sister's funeral then reneged. Kirkwood approached him at the funeral and caught a whooping right then and there. Well, he and four others are being sued by that cousin for medical expenses, loss of income, and general damages. Too bad The Game's career has taken a long nosedive and that paper ain't stackin' like it used to. Kirkwood might end up with a half-empty can of Axe body spray and some used gold fronts.

NeNe Chokes Kim, Pardons Wig

After a successful premiere last Thursday night, reports are surfacing that the Atlanta housewives are still taking shots at each other. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” premiered to 2.7 million viewers and its rerun later that night attracted 4 million, easily making it the most watched show in the Bravo franchise. It seems that the reason these housewives are ratings gold is the real drama that keeps escalating to new levels.

Real Housewives of Atlanta" castmember Kim Zolciak spoke out to Entertainment Tonight about filing a police report against NeNe Leakes, who allegedly strangled Kim during a heated exchange (IN APRIL)-see police report here.

Kim's publicist tells ET: "The police report that has went public pertaining to my client Kim Zolciak and a serious physical altercation that was started by fellow housewife NeNe Leakes is a very serious matter that is still under investigation.

"Mrs. Leakes has now proven to the world that she is not the woman she claims. She has spoken publicly of being a former victim of domestic violence and her charity work to help others that have suffered the same. And then she would have such anger to choke my client instead of acting like a REAL woman and talking their personal conflicts out or simply walking away. Violence is a very serious issue and we are not going to be taking this incident lightly."

"Mrs. Leakes needs obvious therapy for her apparent anger management issues."
