Derrick Rose Sits Out The Rest Of Summer League Games
(PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES) No. 1 Chicago Bulls draft pick, Derrick Rose, is going to be sitting the rest of the 2008 NBA Summer League games because of straining tendinitis in his right knee. It looks like he won’t be playing again until the regular season starts in October 2008. Derrick Rose talked about his injury after the loss against the New Jersey Nets:
“It’s just tendinitis and nothing like, super bad with the knee,” said Rose, “They say it keeps happening because I’m young and my legs aren’t strong enough and they have to work on my legs.”
I never did get to see D-Rose murder the court and scoreboard but I guess we’ll have to see what’s in store for the new season. I knew it had to be a better explanation of why D-Rose wasn’t performing as well as he could have. I look forward to watching him when the new season starts.

“I’m kinda racist… I don’t really like dark butts too much… It’s rare that I do dark butts. Like really rare… It’s like, no darker than me. No darker than me. I love the pool test…. If you can be like ‘Yo, baby. I met you in the club. Let’s go back to my house. Jump in the pool exactly like you are.’–And you don’t come looking better wet than you were before you got in the pool then that’s not a good look. Any girls that use brown gel to lay down her baby hair is not poppin”

Kanye West Denies Anger Management Rumors
It was reported yesterday that Kanye West’s management team had decided that it was high time for the young rapper to enroll in some anger management classes so that he could become more attractive to potential advertisers, and get to along with his friends and family a little better. Well, apparently, those reports turned out to be rumors as the Louis Vuitton Don himself has publicly stated on his blog, and I quote:
“I have never had any conversations about anger management. If anything, I need anger enhancement!!”
You tell ’em Yeezy! If your friends, family, and potential advertisers can’t love you for who you are … then you don’t need ’em! 😉 But you know your bipolar ass needs some anger management. Or medication. Hell, why not shoot two birds with one stone and go with both!

The Game can now add family members to that long list of people who are not feeling him right now. Members of the game’s fam are saying that he made a promise to help financially with his cousin’s funeral, but when it came time to pay – Jayceon was nowhere to be found!

[MUSIC NEWS] Usher Wants His “Momager” Back, Busta Rhymes Dropped from Interscope, Female Rappers to Join Forces in New Movement
USHER CONSINDERING RE-HIRING HIS MOM AS HIS MANAGER » Word on the sidewalk is that R&B singer Usher is having a hard time coping with the fact that his new album, Here I Stand, didn’t do as well as he had expected it to. So now he’s considering hiring his mom back as his manager. If you remember, back here in 2007 – around Mother’s Day, Usher had decided it was time to retire his mother from her duties as his manager, something she’d been doing since forever (15 years to be exact).
Now all of a sudden he wants mommy back because his album tanked. According to the NY Daily News, he’s blaming his new manager, Benny Medina, for the lack of success of his new album. Even though the CD debuted at #1 on the Billboard album charts, it only sold about 433,000 copies in its opening week. His Confessions album, released in 2004, also debuted at #1, but sold 1.1 million copies when it debuted. And its been over a month since Here I Stand was released, and so far the album has sold less than 800,000 copies.
A source tells the New York Daily News, “Usher was livid. He threatened to fire everyone. People have been telling Usher to listen to his mother. Nobody knows how to sell him better than she does. Usher can be stubborn. But he may be ready (to re-hire his mother).”
That’s what his cocky ass gets for trying to be all extra and get rid of the person who’s responsible for his success.
Mariah Carey Covers Elle Magazine
Mariah Carey-Cannon covers the August 2008 issue of Elle Magazine. In the issue Mrs. Cannon talks about her past, as well as, her marriage to Nick Cannon.
Mariah on her relationship with Nick:
“We really kept the whole relationship aspect of it quiet,†“Therefore, we didn’t really ‘date,’ you know what I mean? Because that would have been not quiet or private. I think we didn’t want to give people a chance to be like, ‘What are you doing? What are you talking about? This is so quick… are you sure?â€
