Ne-Yo // Z100 Jingle Ball 2008 (press room)

It looks like someone pissed Ne-Yo off for the last time. He’s not taking this sh*t anymore! In a recent interview, he mentioned how surreal his success is and how he lives next door to Young Jeezy. After he was quoted as saying he saw the Atlanta rapper walking around his house naked, the gay rumors starting spewing from all directions. Well, Ne-Yo just wants everyone to know that he’s had enough (via MySpace):

One rule of being a gentleman is to keep your cool and composure at all cost, but right about now I gotta loosen up this tie and take off this expensive suit jacket and talk to the people for a minute. The haters especially. Pardon my french, but what the f**k is wrong with y’all!?! Are you so desperate for an R&B bad guy that you gotta find a way to create one in me?? Okay, the comment about light skinned babies…….an obvious joke, maybe not a good joke, but clearly a joke. Y’all REALLY took that serious!?! I understand that a hater’s job is to hate, clearly. But it’s when people start feeding in to what a hater is saying that something must be addressed.

The whole gay thing. For goodness sake it’s been 4 years!!!! Y’all still on that huh? The whole “boys” song, and the song “go over there”. See this is what happens when people steal. These songs were clearly written for women. Had you been patient, you would have heard them the way they were supposed to be heard, with the voice of the intended artist on em’. But noooo, someone gets a hold of these demos and suddenly everybody forgets that I write songs for women. Riiight.

Barack Obama

President-elect Barack Obama plans to order the closing of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay as early as his first week in office.  The closing of the prison will show a break from the Bush administration’s approach to the war on terror. Officials say it would follow Obama’s campaign promise to shut down the prison through executive order.

Obama on ABC’s  “This Week”:

“It is more difficult than I think a lot of people realize and we are going to get it done, but part of the challenge that you have is that you have a bunch of folks that have been detained, many of whom who may be very dangerous who have not been put on trial or have not gone through some adjudication,”

The military prison at Guantanamo Bay is a major issue because it has become a symbol of mismanagement and overreach in the war on terror.
