You know you're jealous....



I received my very own advanced copy of Beyonce's (and Idris Elba's) blockbuster comedy movie Obsessed on Saturday. I need your help in deciding what to do with it. I saw the movie when it was in the theaters, and well...I want you all to decide the fate of the DVD.
(I had to remove the poll because it was messing up the page layout and loading time. Anyway, so far, most of you who voted think I should burn it in effigy. LOL!)

What took them so long?


Mark Wahlberg, a.k.a. Marky Mark, tied the knot this past weekend with his longtime girlfriend Rhea Durham. The couple have three children together.
I'm just curious. How can you link yourself to another person not once, but three times yet still not feel you are ready for marriage to this person? How does that happen?
Anywho, mazel tov to them!

Trina Thompson Sues College


This story is starting to turn some heads. Bronx resident, Trina Thompson is suing her school, Monroe College for the $70,000 she paid in tuition. Thompson sites failure to find gainful employment as her reason, and blames the school's career service department for not holding up their end of the bargain to provide job leads and career advice. She received a information technology degree in April 2009.

Why are people so interested? Right now, half of America is crippled by student loan payments. Accepting the concept that what we put into our education is what we get out of it as one that's generally true. In all likelihood, Thompson won't win this case, but it seems her action is fulfilling a certain curiosity for the lot of us: With the amount of money each student pays, how responsible should an educational institute be held for their lack of success...?

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.
