JULY 17 » Nick Cannon was recently spotted leaving Mr. Chows in Beverly Hills. I originally thought his shirt said “Stop Snitching.” And I thought to myself, “dang, I’m tired of seeing those damn shirts!” I mean really, they came out when I was a freshman in high school, and now I’m going into my senior year. But upon further inspection, I noticed that the shirt read “Stop HATING!” Who ya referrin to Nick? =)

JULY 14 » After Prince’s much anticipated outdoor concert at Ross in East Hampton, Jay-Z and a host of other celebs hit up Dune nightclub in South Hampton where they continued the party until the wee hours of the morning. Photogs caught Jay-Z leaving the club and hopping into his vintage, baby blue Rolls Royce. I want one!!! =) CONTINUE READING

Remember THIS POST? Well apparently, that’s not Eva! Eva “The Diva” Pigford is said to be the subject of a sex tape that is in circulation and there’s an actual video capture floating around the net claiming it to be Eva herself (see link above). Eva is so furious about all the hoopla she sent out a myspace bulletin saying the following:

The rumors need to stop. And…
I just read a ton of messages. I want to thank all of you so much for your never ending love. I love you ten time over. MUAH!

-E

The model’s MYSPACE PAGE also says, “THE PHOTOS OF ‘EVA’ THAT HAVE BEEN LEAKED ONTO THE INTERNET ARE NOT OF EVA AT ALL. WE DON’T KNOW WHO THE YOUNG LADY IN THE PHOTOS IS. UNDERSTAND THAT THE PHOTOS ARE NOT EVA PIGFORD! NO FURTHER ANSWERS WLLL BE GIVEN TO THIS RUMOR. THANK YOU!”

Apparantly, there’s a porn star that resembles Eva and that is the person in the screengrab we posted. Check out a video of her (not Eva) HERE. Obviously, this is NSFW. Might wanna wait ’til you get home to check this one out! Thanks to Lexie over at STRAIGHT OUTTA NYC for the e-mail. No word on the strip tease video we posted though, we’ll keep you posted!!

This is David Banner’s new single, “Speaker (9MM),” featuring Akon, Lil’ Wayne and Snoop Dogg from his fifth studio album, The Greatest Story Ever Told. Photos from the video shoot can be viewed on David Banner’s MYSPACE

OPRAH’S GOLDEN RETRIEVER DIED » In the August 2007 issue of O Magazine, which hit newsstands yesterday, Oprah talks about her recent experience in dealing the with the death of her 2-year-old golden retriever. The talk show host had a late lunch with friends, her dog, Gracie, was out with the dog walker and two other retrievers for their weekend exercise. The clear plastic ball, which belonged to Winfrey’s 12-year-old cocker spaniel Sophie, was in the grass when Gracie (who wasn’t supposed to play with the ball) found it – and swallowed it. Gracie apparantly choked on it and wasn’t able to be revived via CPR.

“I don’t believe in accidents,” writes Winfrey. “I know for sure that everything in life happens to help us live. I ran barefoot out of the house and found the dog walker and one of my security guards pumping her chest,” Winfrey writes about her reaction to the phone call that Gracie was no longer breathing. “Just as I reached them, the security guard looked up and said, ‘I’m sorry, ma’am. We tried everything. I’m sorry. She’s gone.’ I stood there dazed, stunned, crying – and watched as they placed her in the back of a golf cart, her still-warm body with the lipstick stain [from Winfrey's kiss beforehand] on her fur,” writes Winfrey. “Her life was a gift to me,” she said. “Her death, a greater one.”

Not to take away from the sadness of the story or anything but uhm …. dang! You know you’re somebody when people actually care about your dead dog! Check out the rest of today’s rundown after the cut. Sorry about being so late with this. I haven’t been feeling so well lately, so I took the day off and rested in bed. Besides that, it’s been a SLOW day … and a slow week for that matter. CONTINUE READING

This is the official cover for MIA’s second studio album, Kala, set to be released August 21st! Along with the album cover I’ve also provided some brief audio streams you can CHECK OUT. The album includes some really great production from Timbaland with one of my favorite songs called “Jimmy,” very Madonna-ish, this maybe second single material. But my all time favorites from Kala would have to be the new version of “XR2″ and “Paper Planes”!

MICHAEL VICK IS GOING DOWN! » Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was indicted today by a federal grand jury on charges related to illegal dogfighting. Vick and three others are charged with competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting and conducting such activities across state lines. The dogfighting operation was named “Bad Newz Kennels,” according to the indictment, and the dogs were housed, trained and fought at a Surry County, Va., property owned by Vick.

The indictment alleges that the 27-year-old Vick and his co-defendants began a grisly dogfighting operation in early 2001 in which dogs fought to the death or close. Losing dogs were sometimes killed by electrocution, drowning, hanging or gunshots. If convicted, Vick and the others Purnell A. Peace, Quanis L. Phillips and Tony Taylor could face up to six years in prison, $350,000 in fines and restitution.

Dang, I remember hearing about this a while back but I didn’t think it was true. I’m not a “dog lover” but I’m not a fan to cruelty either. That’s effed up Mike… Check out the rest of today’s rundown after the cut! CONTINUE READING
