What … the … flying …. fuck?! I went to bed last night with happy thoughts and a happy feeling, and woke up this morning pretty much the same. After wolfing down a nice bowl of CHOCO-NILLA RICE KRISPIES (that good shit, especially with a few spoonfuls of sugar … don’t hate), I sit down at my Dell and find out that Paris Hilton, who just went to jail a mere 3 days ago, is out! She’s out for “good behavior” and will serve the rest of her term on house arrest is what I’m hearing. Aint that ’bout a bitch?! The ho already got 45 days shortened to 23, and now she gets released and put on “house arrest” for 40 days?? What kind of GARY COLEMAN bullshit is that?! Just done fucked my whole month up. How the hell am I gonna make fun of her on house arrest? And what about this critically acclaimed novel she’s supposed to be writing? It’s not gonna be much of an interesting read hearing her talk about her butler forgetting to make a smiley face with her eggs and bacon. Ain’t that ’bout a bitch?! Urgh, let me to recollect before somebody gets hurt up in this mofo. I … AM … PISSED! WIPE ME DOWN!
Candids: Kelly Rowland In London
Miss Kelly Rowland was recently spotted over in London, as you can see in the thumbs above and after the cut, promoting her sophomore studio album, Ms. Kelly, set to be released July 3rd – so mark your calendars peeps! And dag, they had that girl catching the bus? Damn shame, lmao!
ALBUM REVIEW: R. Kelly – Double Up
For Double Up R. Kelly expands his hit-making collaborative efforts and enlists a diverse roster of musical guests that includes Usher, Kid Rock, Nelly, Chamillionaire, T.I., T-Pain, Huey, Ludacris, Keyshia Cole, and Swizz Beatz. Double Up is R. Kelly’s ninth solo release since his smash solo debut 12 Play. Mr. R. Kelly dominates the music charts with his latest LP, Double Up, the number 1 best selling R&B album in the country and it looks like its receiving some great reviews too! Now with the whole situation he’s facing now, child pornography? I commend him through the trail process, everyone is human, we all make mistakes. I haven’t seen the alleged video nor do I intend to, but I hear that the whole rendezvous, it appears like, was nothing but consensual and I don’t recall this young hoe (obviously she’s done this before) reporting to her defenses but her aunt. So, and I also believe in the aspect “innocent until proven guilty.” R. Kelly has done really nothing wrong, they don’t even have enough evidence to prove anything, with all the advance technology we have this day and age. Anyway, back to the review, the album is just ok – nothing more or less – but a die hard R. Kelly fan might beg to differ so again, I leave it at that for your discretion. In my opinion, he has indeed gotten a little reckless, watering down his lyrics to the masses, and he is getting older so I wouldn’t recommend going that route but as Mr. Carter so eloquently said, “men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.” So again, I leave it up to the consumer’s discretion. But may I add Usher and Kellz tore “Same Girl” up…

The Collection Plate: Headlines from Other Blogs
Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell Williams Presents… CRS!
Okay, at first I was like, “Oh HELL NAW not another ‘supergroup’ man,” but this is an exception, lol. Lupe Fiasco mentioned in interviews not too long ago about working with a “secret project with another superstar rapper and producer,†the secret was later revealed in the form of a group consisting of Pharell, Kanye, and Lupe called CRS! I can definitely see the group’s potential with brand new joint “Us Placers,” this track is simply genius and so true, damn! If this material is what we can look out for from the ‘supergroup’ then I say, bring it on like donkey kong! Source

R Kelly and Usher on the Set of “Same Girl”
Once in a lifetime do two mega stars come together. Rarely do such people put aside difference and ego and show the bravery and confidence needed to do something together. And when it happens the people stop, listen and watch. For a moment the world stops and the fans love every moment of it. This song is a fun twist of fate. Rarely do we hear the fellas tell of being two timed and played. Never out the mouths of sex symbols like R. Kelly and Usher. But here they are. Saying it for the world to hear. Some woman has gotten the best of both of them (what she look like?). The video plays it all out for us to see what we hear, with a little twist at the end that we don’t hear on the record…
Now before you start giving me the side-eye, I didn’t write that! Lmao, the “good folk” over at Sony BMG appear to have overly exaggerated a couple of photos of two arrogant muhfuckas on the set of their new video. Can’t knock the hustle though! I wonder how the video’s gonna turn out, cause the song is fiyah! I guess we’ll just have to wait and see 😉

Jail is Kicking Paris’ Ass … And it Hasn’t Even Been A Week Yet!
More Paris in jail news! Badabababa … I’m lovin this! Sorry, I just got a new Micky D’s endorsement deal. I’m a dollar menunaire and I don’t give a fudge who knows it! Anyhow, back to the ho in jail. Here’s what our friends over at TMZ are saying:
TMZ has multiple inside sources who have painted a bleak picture of day # 2 in the slammer. In three words, “Paris is scared.” Paris has been crying on the phone, saying she’s not sleeping or eating. Paris says her cell is “freezing cold.” She has three little blankets and no pillow. She’s using one of the blankets as a pillow. The room is bright and jail noise echoes through her space.
Sleep isn’t the only problem. Paris says she has no appetite and has eaten almost nothing. Inmates actually struck up a chant when Paris went back to her cell earlier today. As she walked by they struck up a chorus, “Paris! Paris! Paris!” We’re told she smiled and waved. Some inmates have been coming up to her cell door, mostly to say hi. One inmate said, “You don’t deserve to be here.” Another made an origami butterfly from a magazine page and slipped it under her door. Another slipped a drawing book under her door. The guards, Paris says, have all been nice.
She’s called her lawyer and family, but found it really hard to talk because there’s a recording, “You have one minute left. This call is being recorded.”
Tomorrow, Day 3.
Feel sorry for her yet? If it had been anyone else but her, yeah. But since it’s Paris?? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

SRC presents Bajan Queen SHONTELLE!; Stream: “Roll”
Â
It was during high school that Shontelle first met Barbados’ current international star, Rihanna. “We were both active in the Cadets, and I was her Drill Sergeant…there was one occasion when I had to make her ‘drop and give me ten push ups’. We laugh about it now…I think she’s forgiven me.” Little did either of them know at the time that they would soon both be signing major record deals.

Report from Paris’ Lawyer: “She’s Being Polite and Gracious”
Damn, the slut’s in jail and getting more press than she ever got in the free world! Her lawyer, Richard Hutton, is reporting to various news and media outlets that Paris is”doing very well under the circumstances,” and he goes into detail about how, due to her status as a big time celebrity, she her 23-day sentence will drag on and seem like 23 YEARS because she has to be in solitary confinement (or what he calls “administrative segregation”) for 23 out of 24 hours … everyday! She can’t mingle with the general population. The only “hour” she has outside of her 12×8 ft (pretty damn small!) is to “be in the module, take a shower and talk on the phone.” Damn, the price of fame is pretty high!
In other Inmate #9818783 news, Madame Tussauds has updated their wax figure of Paris to reflect her current situation in the slammer! It’s pretty funny, but what would make it funnier is if her outfit reflected the 21st century. We’re no longer in the early 1900s when they wore those ugly black & white stripes! Orange jumpsuits are in fashion now =P Check out the pics above…
Weekend Update: Shemar Moore Goes to Jail, Beyonce Covers her “Kitty Kat,” and Akon Throws a White Kid off the Stage!
SHEMAR MOORE ARRESTED FOR DUI » We’ve got one more celebrity to add to “the list!” I mean really, what’s going on here? Is it just now that celebrities are actually getting caught, or are they really just not giving a damn lately? Drinking and driving is serious. Now when someone gets killed over some shit like this, then people are really gonnna have something to say. Anyhow, Shemar Moore was caught driving under the influence Friday morning (?) after he was pulled over at around 1 A.M. for going 65 MPH.
“Mr. Moore displayed signs of alcohol impairment and a DUI investigation was conducted,” according to the CHP arrest report.
He was arrested a half hour later and taken to a nearby station where he took a breath test and was later booked, and released on $5,000 bail. Telephone messages left for Moore’s representative were not immediately returned today, but he is due in court June 26. Damn…
Guess Who Went to Jail a Day Early!!!
According to various news outlets, Paris Hilton apparantly checked herself into an LA county jail last night at approximately 10:30 PM pacific. Damn Paris, did Sarah Silverman hurt your poor little feelings THAT bad?? I know you’re all asking the same burning question I’ve been asking all day long … why the hell did she check in a whole day early? Well apparantly, her lawyer wanted it to be a “safe” transitition into the penitentiary without hundreds (or even thousands … forreal) of photographers and media outlets posted up outside trying to catch a glimpse of the loose vagina socialite. Nobody knew about this, except for that damn TMZ! They’re everywhere you’re not! ….. Anyhow, I know she ruined some poor paparazzo’s day. She was supposed to be out and about enjoying her last few hours of free sunshine, but NOOO the bitch had to check in a day early to get in good with the warden. I ain’t buyin it. See ya in 23 days paris!
Will.I.Am: New Solo Album Release Date!
Well I’m sure you all have heard of the 90’s group Black Eyed Peas, they actually formed in the late 80’s and it was originally just Will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo; they all had dreads back then too. No one really cared for them because they were “boring,” they only talked about positive things and didn’t curse, people started to take note when singer Fergie joined like 2003 I believe. Well anyway, Will.I.Am will be releasing his solo album September 26th as you all and myself patiently wait haha! Oh don’t act like your not anticipating the album, if your not I will pray you tonight, first thing. Will.I.Am writes and produces most of Fergie’s shit anyway, so I’m sure guy laughin’ straight to the bank…
