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. But I felt that this video would do this particular day justice. To all of the proud and responsible fathers out there, Happy Fathers’ Day!
♫ Missy Elliott – “Best Best”
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.

On this edition of “Who Owns the Track?” We have Jesse McCartney, whose album recently dropped, and Leona Lewis singing both their versions of the hit “Bleeding Love.” You know, I always thought that this song was meant for a boy and — though Leona did do the song some justice — I think I like Jesse’s version better! However, it’s really not totally up to me now isn’t it? Who Own the Track? [Sidenote: Thank you, Devin, for the heads up!]

R.Kelly Found Not Guilty!
Singer R. Kelly has been found not guilty on all 14 counts of cf child pornography. The verdict comes six years after the R&B superstar was first charged with videotaping himself having sex with a young girl.
A Cook County jury on Friday acquitted R&B superstar R. Kelly of child pornography charges, marking the end of a high-profile trial rich in courtroom drama and celebrity intrigue.
The 41-year-old singer, whose real name is Robert Kelly, long denied charges that he videotaped himself engaging in a variety of sex acts with his then-underage goddaughter. Authorities said the female in the video could have been as young as 13 at the time.
The jury of nine men and three women deliberated for 7 ½ hours before finding Kelly not guilty on all 14 counts.
The verdict ends a bizarre case that had languished for nearly six years. During almost four weeks of testimony, the jury heard about three-person sexual encounters and watched a sex tape in which the male participant is seen urinating on a female.

NBA Finals: Game 4: Boston Celtics Vs. L.A. Lakers
The Boston Celtics won at the Staples Center against the Los Angeles Lakers last night and took the 3rd game of the series (3-1). I can’t even see how this was possible last night. The Lakers had a 24 point lead and lost it! The Celtics deserved to win last night. To comeback from a 20 point lead playing the Lakers, you definitely need a pat on the back! One of greatest comebacks in history! The Celtics won by 6 (97-91). Ray Allen scored 19 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. Paul Pierce totaled 20 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds. Kevin Garnett had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists. Paul Pierce trying not get too excited after the 3rd win said last night:
“I don’t want to get overjoyed,” Pierce said. “I want to go out there to try and win Game 5 on Father’s Day and then I’ll be able to breathe. Right now, I’m waiting to exhale.”
