FYI “Weight Loss Camp” is codename for “Fat Camp.” Anyhow, Hollywood’s favorite duo Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie are slated to counsel at a fat camp in Cali as a part of a new season of The Simple Life.

“They are going to be camp counselors at one camp in the Southern California Mountains,” says an E! spokesperson. “The camp has five different themes. Each week will be a different theme. And yes, one week is a weight loss/fitness camp. It’s not a fat camp.”

 I hope this isn’t true … by any means. But if it is, more power to them! I mean, who better to teach people how to lose weight than a retard and an anorexic bag of bones?

Clifford “TIP” Harris bka T.I. is expecting a baby girl this July with longtime girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle. It will be T.I. and Tiny’s second child together. The two were even engaged, but have recently decided to amicably end their long relationship and remain friends.

“She’s still a part of my life,” he explained the turn their relationship has taken. “I love her to death. Her children is still my children, my children are still her children,” he said (both have kids from previous relationships). “We want each other to be happy. It’s nothing she did and it’s nothing I did.”

While T.I. works on album number five and awaits the birth of child number six in his and Cottle’s brood, he’ll also be overseeing several other projects on his Grand Hustle imprint, such as DJ Drama’s official Gangsta Grillz album and the sophomore project from Young Dro. There’s also a clothing line he’s involved in with his manager and business partner Jason Geter called AKOO. I give it a couple of months before they announce that they’re back together again … no wait, I take that back. 3 weeks … tops!

DG Yola’s “Ain’t Gon Let Up” will be featured as the NEW JOINT on BET’s 106 & Park toinght!!! 106 & Park airs at 6pm (NOW) on BET…please tune in!

OK, now I’m pretty sure that everyone has, at some point, wanted to “Slap” or beat the shit out of a person, we’ll Luda makes that perfectly clear in his new single, appropriately titled (on my end at less), “Slap” from his fifth studio album Release Therapy, which I hear is actually pretty good. I need to go get my Therapy on and purchase a copy from my local record store, I might even contribute a small review of the album, why not? I am really feeling this joint with its extraterrestrial like melody and grungy strings, Ludacris is so known for murking up similar records like this, which makes the record in its entirety unique. Again this is also a joint you can relate to, I know I can! I mean the contrast with this, the tempo of Luda’s voice with the crazy sound, beat and guitar, it really speaks out like whoa! And the lyrics aren’t to far stray neither… I feel him man, on everything, this is coming from a personal perspective. Real talk.

LOL! Beyoncé would be proud, I mean he had the choreography down pack, I ain’t mad at him either.

This isn’t much of a surprise really. Former B.E.T. Producer Dbrad has put up a series of videos, Confessions of a B.E.T. Producer, on his MySpace page where he talks about how things work at B.E.T. behind the scenes, who didn’t already know this? But anyway, it basically confirms that B.E.T. is a sellout and dumbing our [Black] culture down for lucrative royalties, no matter how many times people call into 106 and Park to vote their favorite videos - the videos will probably never see the light of day on account of the authoritarians who work there at B.E.T. (Black Exploited Television)…

UPDATE: This BET commercial, one of the examples as to why BET needs to do better then this, was spotted at C&D

He says, “106 and Park dictates to you what ten videos are going to play on the countdown. I don’t even know why people waste their time calling, all you’re doing is giving B.E.T. money, they don’t listen to you… Once Bob Johnson left the producers lost the ability to say, ‘hey! This artist is hot…’ Now an artist can only get on if forty-seven year old Steven Hill and his forty-seven year old Creative Director and his square video programing [BET] decides…” CONTINUE READING

Welcome to the second edition of ‘Who Owns the Track?’ Where old school meets new! This one is a little tougher, I decided to go on and post it since both songs are similar in a way, our artists are Jagged Edge and Ciara; Jagged Edge with there hit “Promise” reaching #1 on the R&B charts and #9 on the Hot 100 and Ciara with hers debuting on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles at twenty-four. After two weeks on the chart, “Promise” debuted at #45 on the Billboard Hot 100, making the single Ciara’s highest debut and the top debut of that week (source: Wikipedia). There is this case - of course Jagged Edge would win because that was an ultimate hit, you can’t beat out the old school BUT Ciara has been on her grind lately, they play her single heavy down here, people seem to dig it so I think this would be a tie in my book because they both did their thing! Which version of “Promise” do you guys like?

Oscar-Winner Jennifer Hudson has been given free Burger King meals for life. One of Jennifer’s first ever jobs was at the drive-thru window of a South Chicago outlet - and in thanks for the good publicity, the fast food giant has given her an endless supply of complimentary food. The company made the announcement after a recent spat between Jennifer and Simon Cowell. Jennifer responded to Simon’s criticism of her not thanking the show enough for launching her career. She said: “If I’d been any better at my job when I was at Burger King in my middle teens I wouldn’t be here either, so should I thank them too?” - haha, good one!!

In other JHud news, she is in line to play 1/3 of Aretha Franklin. No, seriously she is! CONTINUE READING

Surprisingly Tiffany aka New York looks pretty decent in these flicks! They were probably touched up a bit, but whatever. I’m still mad at her for getting that horrible boob job .. her tits were fine just the way they were, and now .. they’re just a bit too much! She should’ve used that money to fix her mama’s fucked up hairline! And is it just me, or does New York keep finding new ways to recharge her prepaid 15 minutes of fame card?? Check out the photos below…

  

Hey hey stop making that face! I know you’re thinking “How the hell can she have a new man already? Ain’t she supposed to be in rehab??” Well yea .. you’re right .. she is in rehab but that doesn’t stop good ol’ Britney from manhunting! Apparantly, she has reportedly sparked a romance with Jason Filyaw, 33, the lead guitarist for the rock band, Riva, and they plan to move in with each other once she is out of rehab.

The pair are said to email and call each other constantly and are even said to have pet names for each other - “he calls her Sugar, Kitten and My Lady; she calls him Mr. Secret Underground Guy and J-Sun.” (how corny!) Britney adores Jason. He’s been a tower of strength for her at the lowest point in her life. She’s convinced Jason can help her through rehab because as an alcoholic, he’s been through the same thing.

Oh what a load of crap! Has she EVER been single?? And this guy is a frikkin “recovering” alcoholic! She always “falls in love” and ends up getting shitted on by some guy. There’s 3 things I can depend on in life: taxes, death, and Britney Spears being the dumbest broad alive…
