It Ain’t Hard to Tell” is a 1994 hip hop single by Nas. The single, a popular song in the undergrounds, samples Michael Jackson’s 1982 hit single “Human Nature“. The lyrics are a braggadocio style rap, which have been sampled in many songs, including “Ebonics” by Big L. This single, along with the album it’s featured on is considered a milestone of the Golden Age of Hip-Hop. Nas created an homage to Wild Style (1982), the first hip hop motion picture, while shooting “It Ain’t Hard to Tell’s” music video, as he shot portions of the clip on the same stage used for the final scene of Wild Style.

Investigators probing the cause of R&B star Brandy’s devastating car crash last month (30Dec06) have ruled out mechanical factors. The singer/actress triggered the accident when she collided with another vehicle on California’s 405 freeway. The subsequent pile-up left the driver Brandy rammed into dead. Brandy was neither injured in the pile-up nor arrested but could still be found primarily at fault or criminally negligent after California Highway Patrol spokesman Leland Tang revealed an inspection of all four vehicles involved in the crash found no mechanical defects.

He added, “We know the person who started the chain reaction was obviously Brandy Norwood,” but he insisted the 27-year-old had been “fantastically cooperative” with police.

Investigators will spend the next few days sifting through evidence from the scene and conducting further interviews before turning the case over to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office for review. Of course it wasn’t mechanical failiure. It was just a case of the-bitch-cant-drive. She was driving a 2005 or 2006 car, right?? Those things come with ANTI-LOCK brakes! She could have been 1 inch away from the car in front of her, and slammed on brakes and wouldn’t have hit the other car. Poor Brandy… But I feel even worse for those kids who will now be without a mother for the rest of their lives.

Or else you’ll end up like Paris Hilton – EXPOSED! A website by the name of parisexposed.com has been started up by someone who purchased all of Paris Hilton’s things that she stored in a public storage facility. Apparantly, she failed to pay the bill, and like all storage facilities, to receive some kind of compensation, they auctioned off all of her stuff. Not surprising… But for nearly $40/month, YOU can have access to all of these personal items as well!! I kind of feel sorry for her, but in a way I don’t. Who puts all of their personal things in a public storage facility and then forgets to pay the damn bill? She asked for this…

WWW.PARISEXPOSED.COM

I wonder how long it will take for Paris’ big bad lawyers to have this site shut down. They probably have their own membership as well!!! LOL

 

George Clooney and Pamela Anderson have become Hollywood’s most unlikely couple after the pair was spotted frolicking together on a romantic, fun dinner date. The Oscar winner booked a private room at Sherman Oaks, California, restaurant the Valley Inn, and entertained the former Baywatch babe there on Jan. 7, according to reports. And since that evening, which ended with Anderson sitting on her date’s lap, the odd couple has been spotted out and about, enjoying dog walks together.

A pal says, “George and Pam have been determined to keep this one quiet.”

Hey George! Make sure you “rap it up” – twice! We wouldn’t want you to catch any STDs or anything… Oh God, my stomach’s bubbling. Please excuse me while I throw up….

Damn, this girl can’t go anywhere with upsetting SOMEBODY! Lindsay Lohan has upset residents of the Los Angeles rehab facility she checked into earlier this month because they claim she’s treating the facility like a hotel. The fellow troubled souls seeking counseling and solace at the Wonderland center are upset with Lohan’s trips out of the facility–and the fact she’s being allowed to continue working on her new movie while in rehab. The final straw reportedly came yesterday when the Mean Girls star took a break from rehab to have her Mercedes serviced and shop.

Sources at Wonderland have aired their grievances to news Web site TMZ.com, claiming the actress is getting special treatment. They also tell the site Lohan has a masseur, hairstylist and makeup artist, who visit her regularly. But the actress’ publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, insists Lohan is taking rehab seriously, and the criticism is unwarranted.

She says, “Lindsay is 100 percent not getting special treatment. She’s getting the same as everyone else. This isn’t the Betty Ford Clinic; it’s not a lockdown facility. There is personal time. All these nay-sayers who keep blogging and speaking out… they don’t know what she’s going through, they’re not there. They shouldn’t speak until they’ve gone through something like that.”

Get over it people! Are you jealous?? This is a rehab center, not a lunatic asylum (even though people do confuse the two). She’s not chained to a bed and drugged up on heavy amounts of prozac and zoloft (even though she should be). Mind your business, and stay out of hers…

 

Pop superstar Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have fuelled reports they are a couple after the actress flew to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah on Wednesday to be with the “SexyBack” singer. News of a romance between the couple began circulating after the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 15 when Timberlake and Biel spent hours together at the post-show party hosted by Prince in Los Angeles. Timberlake’s ex, Cameron Diaz, was reportedly so upset by seeing her former boyfriend chatting to the Illusionist star, she confronted him about his new friendship at the party.

A Sundance source says, “Jessica has no reason to be at Sundance. She doesn’t have a film to promote here, while Justin is in town talking about his new film Black Snake Moan. She’s obviously here for him.

Biel, who regularly competes with Diaz in polls to find the world’s sexiest actress, had been dating New York Yankees baseball star Derek Jeter. The couple vacationed together in Puerto Rico over Christmas. Jeter is now being romantically linked to another actress, Gabrielle Union, after he was spotted dancing with her in the Bahamas last weekend.

Yeah, yeah.. I know we all believe that celebrities think they live in a “fantasy world.” But this time, it’s actually true! The likes of Beyonce, David Beckham, and Scarlett Johansson are participating in a Disney World campaign through a photoshoot by photographer Annie Leibovitz. The famed photographer’s reputation, combined with the allure of Disney, has sent a pop princess (Beyonce) to Wonderland, a soccer stud to slay a dragon (David Beckham) and an acclaimed actress (Scarlett Johansson) scurrying slipperless down a staircase. Check out the rest of the photos after the jump! CONTINUE READING
