According to Variety Magazine, Janet Jackson is producing a reality dance competition for MTV that has been casted as of now. The show will be casted up until the launch of Janet’s “Rock Witchu” Tour which begins September 10th. One of the executive producers, Dave Broome, spoke on the concept of the show and said:
“It’s really about finding who’s the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher,” said exec producer Broome “And we’ll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn’t typically find it from. We’ll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centers and try to cast the show.”
I personally can’t wait for the tour and the show to be aired. If you haven’t got your Janet tickets you can get them here. Click on the following link.

The Boston Celtics deserved the win they conquered last night after playing 6 games against the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s been 22 years since Boston won a a championship and it’ll be the first ring for all of the current players on the Celtics roster and the 17th championship the team has ever won. I’m somewhat proud of the Celtics for beating the Lakers! That’s a huge accomplishment! The Celtics blew the Lakers out of the water in Game 6 with a win by 39 points (131-92). The Celtics lead the series (4-2). MVP of the Finals series came out to be Paul Pierce, who had 17 points, 10 assists and 3 rebounds. Kevin Garnett totaled 26 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. Ray Allen scored 26 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Paul Pierce said proudly after the game’s end:
“It means so much more because these are the guys, the Havliceks, the Bill Russells, the Cousys”, said Pierce “These guys started what’s going on with those banners. They don’t hang up any other banners but champitonship ones and now I’m a part of it.”
I’m not especially happy that the Celtics beat my favorite team, but there is always next year. The best team won last night and made history. They are also an all African-American team including the coach! Congratulations Celtics! Until next year … GO LAKERS!

The Los Angeles Lakers took Game 5 last night against the Boston Celtics. The Lakers won by 5 and are now headed back to Boston (103-98). The series are in Boston’s favor (3-2). Kobe Bryant scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Pau Gasol totaled 19 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. Lamar Odom put up 20 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists. The Lakers need to win 3 consecutive games in order to become champs, while on the other hand the Celtics only need one. Kobe Bryant spoke to reporters after Game 5 and he said:
“In training camp if you told us, ‘We’ll give you two games that you have to win to win a world championship,’ we would have taken it in a heartbeat,” Bryant said. “This is a great opportunity for us.”

I was surfing on one of my favorite blogs, RealTalkNY, when I peeped this video of two fine broads talking on a radio show and then they dissed Bow Wow close to the end of the video. I guess Bow Wow seen the diss and responded to it on YouTube. Apparently, these girls is pulling a Karrine Stephans move. Continue reading to see what Dollicia & Rita G said about Bow Wow.
Here a video of an amazing singer, by the name of Esmee Denters, that was discovered on YouTube by Justin Timberlake. This video is one of her most popular with over 4 million views.

New music from Missy Elliott from her upcoming album Block Party (Atlantic). This new track, “Best Best”, is produced by Danjahandz and also will be the first single from this new album. I personally thought “Ching-A-Ling” was the first single and “Shake Your Pom Pom” would be the second. I like those two tracks better than this but maybe it’s just me. Block Party will in stores September 9th.
