'Good Morning America' Trashed By Chris Brown: Singer Explodes Off Stage, Breaks Window

This is a prime example of why single women need help raising young men. Granted after two years the media should slow up on the Rihanna episode but manhood dictates putting your game face on for work. Chris Brown is acting out with the emotions of an adolescent girl PMS-ing for the first time. Can we say train wreck?

Amber Rose Talks Sex Tapes, Being A Teen Stripper

Casper the Friendly Stripper is on her job destroying the efforts of hard working women that are fighting to project postive images for women and not just black women. Young girls see Casper here and think the model for success is forget about school if you're cute, strip, be a groupie, snag a high profile man for a while maybe make a sex tape and it's on. Nothing in Ambers/Cas­per's past indicates this Sirius deal will last a year or maybe her next high profile "mark" is Jamie Foxx?

50 Cent's Japanese Earthquake Tweets Spark Outrage

This is why some people will eventually hit a bump in the road of life and no one will have any simpathy for them. It's sad to see the 50 Cents of the world get rich through rap/hip hop culture only to act out and provide living proof that money and success can't be replacemen­ts for education, class or humility. Karma is a "bitch" and Fifty needs a wake up call but he won't hear it because he thinks his money, hoes and clothes are the answers and key to happiness. He's money rich and morally bankrupt, ignorant and lost, a very sick combinatio­n. There more where he came from and it's sad to see.

(Exclusive) Ochocinco Marries Evelyn Lozada, "Child Please"

Chad Ochocinco Johnson, a.k.a. "Ochocinco" and Evelyn Lozada of Basketball Wives are indeed engaged amid much speculation as to whether the ceremony will ever take place.  As for Ochocinco the future NFL Hall of Famer and probably one of the best receivers in the league today is no stranger to beautiful women, groupies, baby mamas and "jump offs" could do a lot worse with regard to exterior beauty by choosing Ms. Lozada (she is clearly easy on the eyes). On the other hand he should do himself a solid by prolonging the wifey search purely based on Evelyn's reality TV celebrity seeking year.  Granted she suffered image challenges mainly due to editing decisions of her show's producers but come on, there is only so much editing to be done.  Aside from the show her attention seeking became apparent when she twitted partially nudes photos of herself.  She knew then as she knows now what she is doing.  The same way she in this season's final episodes dropped the goods squarely in Cinco's bed on her alleged first visit.  Nothing in the way Mr. Ochocinco has handled his NFL career or his brand would indicate he is "green" enough to make the rookie mistake of bringing a groupie/jump-off of the NBA, reality celeb or not to "wifey" status.  As for the headlines reading "Ochocino marries Evelyn Lozada .....," we say in Cinco's voice "child please".

(EXCLUSIVE) Will the Japan Earthquake/Tsunami Trump Charlie Sheen in U.S. Media?

Today’s earthquake tragedy in Japan is an eye opening reminder of how sensitive the scales of life and death can be despite all of our futile attempts to micro manage this speck of space we occupy from a universal view. As we hope and pray for the welfare of the Japanese people and the future of that region one can likewise hope that in America the media might calibrate their scales a bit and better channel what they call “news worthy” or “breaking news”. Let’s face it we live in a country that by some official standard is considers a major player in the global power game. Yet it is laughable to note that this same world power (America) with its media giants (CNN, Fox News, and three majors) that gave bastard births to media whore-junkies like Lady GaGa, Kim Kardashian and its latest baby-daddy creation Charlie Sheen. It’s an absolute disgrace that Lady GaGa ranks #1 as the most followed person on Twitter in the US while President Obama and Kim Kardashian are battling for position on Twitter depending on which day the wind blows up the skirt of Kim’s Channel dress in New York, during fashion week. Come on are we really serious as a nation or are we just playing games with ourselves while the rest of the world kicks our U.S. ass.

 

The U.S. media has done such a great job this week of convincing our young that this walking, breathing cluster called “Charlie Sheen” is real news they are begging for this clown to give commencement addresses at college graduations. What wrong with this picture? The U.S. media outlets, point blank. The media information hubs are leading American culture skipping down a roadway lined with ridiculous info/pop/shock a merical/news blend that grossly dumb down an already academically challenged “joe six pack” public. So how can we legitimately marvel at the clear ignorance displayed at beauty pageants question and answer sessions? Now as we follow the coverage of the crisis situation in Japan and view the constant streams of video footage, let us contemplate our own national dilemmas whether it is joblessness, violence or the U.S. education crisis. More importantly the media suits might have a change of heart and shift the gears of their information machinery and retool a bit and fashion their product in way that adds more substantive ingredients driven by educational facts and bypass the fillers of celebrity sensationalism new that fattens your profit margins while Main Street suffers bloated malnutrition.

(Exclusive) Clearing Up Celebrity Cougar Foolishness

Hear Her Roar (THE BOSS)

Shaunie O'Neal (ex-wife of NBA star Shaquille O'Neal) reigns supreme in the hierarchy of the cougar kingdom for a few reasons mainly because she is choosing cougary as her prerogative rather than a desperation shot from behind the 3 point line like some of her contemporaries.  Look this woman has had the marriage and the kids and is financially stable.  Her hit VH1 show Basketball Wives will become her franchise and tie down any financial loose end if any exists.  If she has no aspiration for marriage in the near future who can blame her for enlisting the servicing of a young, scrapping buck for his 24 year old "beat down" and arm trophy services.  Bottom-line, Shaunie is a certified "Boss" in the cougar kingdom and appears to be very in touch with her status.  She's not playing games with herself or anyone else with regards to what she wants and gets out of the relationship, she's "crystal" on this point, so hear this MILF roar. 

We Get It

Now this is pure speculation/observation but Nick Cannon and Mrs. Cannon are truly in love.  Let's face it Nick Cannon by all societal measures is a serious "catch" in not just the black community but the world community.  Most women and some men would chew something off (you decide) for a shot at his title.  Why else would a 29 year old, successful, high profile, black male retire his player card to 11 years his senior Madame Butterfly?  One word "love".  Will this be his only marriage is debatable especially with Mariah's tendencies towards being "extra".  It's just not a good look for a middle aged mother of twins to sport the tight booty shorts on roller skates while singing the jiggle for Bubbas Car Wash but someone has to do it and Mrs. Cannon is known to make application for such jobs.  Her cougar card is very understandable and we get it because clearly that "clock" was ticking like "Big Ben" and Nick was willing to sign up for her course in "how extra can one woman be" for that we have to celebrate and enjoy their happiness. 

WTH!!!

Now as for Vivica A. Fox 46, she might want to consider legally changing that name to "Vivica A. Fool"  because that's all she's going to be hearing as she walks down the street with her homecare aid/fiancé Omar Whatever 27.  Seriously Ms. Fox this move is not a good look for you or any woman contemplating cougardom because it just simply feels desperate and we feel sorry for you. Ladies looking to go cougar don't be confused a true cougar is in control and not compromising on her real motivations.  If you're looking to get married (one that will last), have children, etc., by no means follow in Vivica's paw steps especially if you've never been married.  This Omar kid has everything to gain and nothing at risk in this scenario.  She's putting him on the map and he has pretty much said it himself.  Granted her career hasn’t been kicking ass as of late with her leading roles in high school type productions but come on Vivica "do you think Malcolm X died so you could look like a chump?"  Rule of thumb for ladies on the brink of cougarville, if you are 35 plus years old wanting marriage and kids don't even think about going cougar because it is a one way road to a dead end where you might find Vivica A. Fool and Omar Whatever getting it on in the back seat of a minivan.  Not good, continue with caution. 

Beyonce: I Gave Gaddafi's Concert Money To Haiti Relief

Granted the PR move for everyone is to distance themselves from this money and the "bad guy" of the month but true be told the fan's of Beyonce and others could give a flip because they aren't plug into world events at this level. So if these artist are rushing to write off these funds will government­s refuse crude oil for this region? Doubt it.

(Exclusive) Nene Leaks and Evelyn Lozada the Mean Girls of Color Reality TV

Talk about "mean" spirited borderline evil Nene Leakes of now famed "Real Housewives of Atlanta" and fellow reality tv celeb Evelyn Lozada of "Basketball Wives 2" have set the bar pretty high with their respective performances in this season's episodes.  Although it can't be confirmed one might suspect Nene's short fuse might be attributed to her pending change in marital status (pending divorce).  While Ms. Evelyn 'Future Cinco's' firery quick temper will hopefully mellow a bit once and if she make it down the isle with NFL future hall of famer Chad Ochocinco.  As for Nene Leakes her outburst seem to go against her better nature and tends to never be without some provocation Ms. Lozada on the other hand seems to only be happiest when stirring up drama and breaking out her Bronx Rician ghetto outburst.  Now that she's found her next meal ticket in the form of Mr. Ochoinco maybe she chill and "try a little tenderness".

(EXCLUSIVE ) 3 Reason We Must Keep the "Nigger"

Alan Gribben, a scholar at Auburn University's Montgomery campus who specializes in the work of Mark Twain, is editing a combined edition of Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884).  Prompted by this revision of these American literary classic three thoughts come to mind as to why "nigger" must be exhumed from it's warm, shallow grave.  Sorry Rev. Sharpton and crew.

Reason #3, White America’s feelings of guilt can’t be allowed to erase this important historical word “nigger”. The word greatly differs from its baby brother “nigga”. Nigga is common across mainstream culture, largely due to the influence of rap and the hip hop culture and should not to be mistaken with “nigger”. Cowardly, meaning well, white folks (usually liberals) experiencing “white guilt” and delusional Negros acting as if success means they have escaped the historical scaring of this sacred racial epithet desire comfort over uncomfortable truth. This cut and paste job being done to the Twin novels attempts to rewrite an excellent narrative of life in the American south while falsifying the intent of white folks in the south.

Reason #2, the word “nigger” has been paid for by the blood, sweat and tears of millions of blacks, coloreds, Negros, African Americans and yes niggers. Blood that was spilled from shots in the distance, a hangman noose, swinging bodies, the fields of battle, firing squads, burning crosses and the list ago on. Yet let the word reparations be mentioned in any forum about race relations and white American screams bloody murder, ironically what literally happen to so many of these so called “niggers”. So rather than letting “nigger” go, we must keep nigger. Whites “man up”, don’t be lazy cowards, teach your children of the human crimes of your ancestors identify the war criminals and Blacks teach our children the sacredness of this word and how it was sometimes the last words heard by our ancestors. Nigger rings in the ear differently that nigga. Teach the difference.

Reason, #1 “Nigger” says there is still work to do. It’s our battle cry and appeals to our communal quest for justice in our lives and the world.  Dr. Martin L. King said “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” and in our finest historical hours we, the black American community has been a light to the world.  The word “nigger” is a part of the spark that lights the fire of black people in America; don’t forget the “Nigger”.
