posts from January 2008

Having seen all of Tyler Perry’s stage productions makes me a Tyler Perry fan, I guess you can say. So I was thrilled when I heard that he’d be making a movie out of “Meet the Browns,” which happens to be one of my favorite plays from Tyler! I guess he wasn’t playing when he said he’d be making a movie out of all of his past stage plays. “Meet the Browns” stars Angela Basset, Jenifer Lewis, Rick Fox, and of course, writer AND director Tyler Perry. The movie is set to hit theaters March 21st 2008! Now all I need is a movie for “Madea Goes to Jail,” and I’m set, Lol.

For more information on the movie, be sure to check out its IMDb page!

Lil Wayne Arrested in Arizona! And it’s Drug-Related … Again
BOOKING PHOTO VIA AP

Lil Wayne was arrested on not one, not even two, but THREE felony drug charges earlier today (January 23rd) after federal agents said they found illegal drugs, including cocaine, on his charter bus at a checkpoint in southwestern Arizona, AP is reporting. Cocaine Weezy? Oh really?? The rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., spent the day at the Yuma County jail before being released, Capt. Eben Bratcher said. After posting more than $10,000 bond, the rapper signed autographs for fans outside a bondsman’s office.

James Tilson, a local lawyer retained by Carter, said that his client was not formally charged and that his next court date was scheduled for Friday, January 25th.

“We will find out by January 25th whether or not the [Yuma] county attorney will file charges or not,” Tilson said. “He is looking forward to his day in court. That’s all I can say right now.”

The 25-year-old rapper faces charges of possession of dangerous drugs, narcotics and drug paraphernalia. Weezy’s bus was stopped at approximately 11:30 P.M. Tuesday night at a Border Patrol checkpoint near Dateland, Arizona, which is about 78 miles east of Yuma, Capt. Bratcher said. A Border Patrol dog alerted agents to the presence of illegal drugs on the bus, said Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Ramona Sanchez. After they searched the bus, they found nearly 4 ounces of marijuana and just over an ounce of cocaine, as well as drug paraphernalia. DEA agents then arrested Carter, who was traveling with 11 others.

Officials also found a .40-caliber pistol registered to Carter, who has a concealed weapons permit in Florida. Authorities are looking into whether he violated any weapons laws in Arizona. Two other men were arrested with him, and they each face a charge of possession of marijuana.

Please don’t tell me one of my favorite rappers is a cokehead. One is already on house arrest ’til God knows when. WTF is up with these fools? Oh, and if you’re wondering, something like this has happened before! SMH…

With all of the talks of him being a porn producer and all, I almost forgot this guy was a singer! Or at least he tries, Lol. His attempt at an album is due to hit stores this April and holds the title “All I Feel.” Here’s his new video, featuring rapper Yung Berg (whatever happened to this guy??), Sexy Can I.

R&Ber R. Kelly teamed up with Kanye West on his current single “Flashing Lights” from the album Graduation (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) in stores now! Loved the original so much, the remix is ok … just OK. But I’ll bump it anyway since R. Kelly is on it. Props to Regulators via Chris for this mix. You can listen to the full dirty version below peeples..

MOAR!? Yes, bb! I loved the video clip for Ghosts (full version), which can also be classified as a short feature film, it’s like a 40 minute music video ha ha. The songs featured, in order, are “2 Bad,” “Is It Scary,” and “Ghosts” and they are all from HIStory and Blood on the Dance Floor. This is the longest running music video of all time second to R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet” series. The reason I chose this video as another one of my favourite MJ throwbacks is becos the dancing and songs are wicked, yes! My favourite, fabourite scene would have to be “Ghosts,” I love that song so much and it was so funnie! And when he bowed at the end like, “WHAT! Bitch, I’m the KING!” I was like, “there he go”. Once again, Michael Jackson will always be the King of Pop, forever … forever.

Charm School Season 2 Coming Soon; Jamie Foxx Rumored to Host

I knew you had an idea this was coming … another VH1 reality show! I Love New York 2 just wrapped, Flavor of Love 3 premieres in February, and Rock of Love 2 premiered this week. So that leaves another popular VH1 show sitting in limbo, and that’s Charm School! Season 2 of the show, which will begin recording next month in Los Angeles, will feature 15 of the most unfit, rowdy, and crazy contestants from the 1st 2 seasons of the #1 rated VH1 show, “I Love New York” which is a spin off of “Flavor of Love”. The rumored (but unconfirmed) host of this show is said to be Jamie Foxx. In a total of 11 edited episodes, Jamie will attempt to turn these wild “New York” boys into positive strong gentlemen. The overall winner will receive a $50,000 grand prize, much like season one’s winner, Saaphyri.

The show is set to tape in the same Charm School mansion (and the same damn mansion they use for Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, AND I Love New York) as 1st season. Confirmed contestants include Mr. Boston, Chance, Heat, Buddah, Wolf, Midget Mac, Tango, Trendz, and Mr. Wise. Charm School 2: From Gs to Gents (The NY Boys) is set to start airing in June. Will you be watching?

When you’re running for president, every little thing you do is scrutinized. That even extends to your spouse and your children. And apparently, former president Bill Clinton, husband of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, is no exception. Above he can be seen nodding off and having a “dream” of his own during MLK III’s speech about his father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. yesterday.

I think it’s pretty damn funny if you ask me! I don’t see it as him disrespecting Dr. King. Now if he was snoring, then yeah, that might have posed a problem. But for you church-goers out there. Let’s be real. How many times have you unknowingly nodded off during a sermon? Exactly! Case closed.

Amy Winehouse, or Amy CRACKhouse as we like to call her, has a brand new video. No, it’s not a music video. And it’s not even a sex tape (I wouldn’t put you guys through that kind of horror!). It’s a video of her doing what she does best. Being a cokehead. Now, we all have known for a long time that Amy was a crackhead, but it’s sort of like walking in on your parents having sex. You know they have sex (how else would you be here). But actually seeing it with your own two eyes is “shocking” in a way. Poor thing. She looks a holy hot ass mess. Somebody get this girl some help, ASAP! This is what her friend, who recorded this video and released it to the media, had to say:

Amy is locked in a nosedive towards oblivion — she is killing herself. The video shows a woman completely out of control. Her family and her few real friends have begged her to pull herself from the brink many times. But here is proof she has pressed the self-destruct button. Her fans would scarcely recognise the drug-addled wreck in the video as the talented performer they love. We can only pray she will get a wake-up call when she watches the video herself and sees the terrible state she is in.

Amy is looking ill and dirty, and is so thin you wonder how much more she can take. She MUST get help.
