The DC Sniper's execution is tonight
The DC Sniper, John Allen Muhammed, is scheduled to be executed tonight at 9pm. Muhammed and his teenaged accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo, killed 10 people and wounded many others in the tri-state area of Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia seven years ago. Their crime spree struck fear in the hearts of residents and indeed across the country as school children were kept inside, people were afraid to pump gas, and commuters changed their routines.

Pimp Chronic-ling ain't easy....
Atlanta comedian Katt Williams was in jail Monday morning after being arrested and charged with burglary and criminal trespassing, a deputy at the Coweta County jail said. Williams was arrested by Coweta County deputies. No other details were immediately available
This is getting to be a bit much
I'm calling double fault on Serena Williams for her nude photo shoot for Glamour magazine. (I hope I don't get a beat down for this.) She is being honored as Woman of the Year along with First Lady Michelle Obama, poet and author Maya Angelou, and Rihanna (<--how did that happen?). I vehemently defended Serena for her ESPN Magazine nude photo shoot. I thought it was very appropriate for their body issue and she was not the only nude in the issue, however I see absolutely no good reason for her to be nude in the Woman of the Year Issue. It lacks taste to be ass out next to the FLOTUS and a Pulitzer Prize nominee. She needs to take that to King Smooth Magazine. Before I catch any flack for that Rihanna quip a few lines up, think about it. Mrs. Obama is an international role model who has championed many causes in the past year in the White House. Maya Angelou has more literary awards than I can remember as well as a number of Grammys. Rihanna, while I enjoy some of her songs, has done little more this year than look fetching.
According to Joe Jackson
Daddy Mack Joe has filed papers in L.A. asking to be broke off some of his son's estate even though he was left out of the will. He lists his monthly expenses as follows:
$2,500 for eating out
$2,000 for flying in airplanes
$3,000 for hotel rooms to take his Craigslist hizznos back to
$1,000 for groceries
$1,200 for rent (where,at a Public Storage?)
$50 for charity
No money to pay legal fees in the first place?
PRICELESS!!!
Denyce Lawton calls out Melyssa Ford as a lying, man-stealing ho
You might have to zoom in to read this Twitter mess.
Actress and Hollywood makeup artist Denyce Lawton and erstwhile video chick and calendar babe Melyssa Ford had a Twitter Tiff (I trademarked that phrase!). The frenemies went at it last month on Twitter about their *ahem* work ethic, various qualifications, and who loves Jesus the most.
Who are these women you say? Well, Melyssa Ford has been in a number of videos including Jay-Z's "Big Pimping", Mystikal's "Shake Ya Ass", and Sisqo's "Thong Song Remix." Miss Lawton has also been in a number of videos (but not as many as Melyssa a.k.a. Jessica Rabbit). Denyce has appeared in "Rockstar" by N.E.R.D., "One Mic" by Nas, "Anything" by Jaheim, and "Peaches and Cream" by 112. (Ford also did a 112 video. Are you seeing a theme here?)
On a side note, Melyssa's press info says she just turned 33. Just like with Beyonce's age, I'm going to have to say there.is.just.no.way. Don't get me wrong, like Vivica Fox, Melyssa looks absolutely fantastic. I just think one of those 3's should be a 4 and I'm not talking about the second one. I heard she was in her 30's like 10 years ago. Does anyone else know anything about this? No hate at all, I'm just saying. Claim your age whatever it is.
Anyhow, in the tweets above, Melyssa and Denyce were compared, with Denyce being called an "actress" because she lists TYLER PERRY'S House of Payne and Soul Plane as credits. The point is, both of them are just trying to get their piece. Why can't we all just get along?
Plies has a conscience
Rapper Plies recently stopped his set at FAMU's homecoming when he realized one of the ticket holders was under 18. He had his people bring the girl on stage, spoke with her, then after determining she was a minor, offered her and her mother (who brought her to the concert, by the way, SMH) $1000 if she would leave the show and go somewhere more age appropriate. He also gave her his infamous "goon chain" which is reportedly worth around $15,000.
While I applaud Plies for taking a stand and insisting his music is for adults only, his generosity will only encourage other fast teenagers and parents with poor judgement to follow suit to see if they can get a big pay day. How much do you want to bet the mama wasn't even a Rattler?
Sammy Sosa saw 'This is It' 78 times....
I don't give a Chicago Cub about Sammy Sosa, but he looks like he's been visiting MJ's makeup artist. Sammy tells the Chicago Sun-Times that he's in the process of going through a laser treatment to his skin after "spending years playing in the sun." That must explain those contacts too...
Sheree Whitfield's husband Bob attempts to air that ass out
Real Housewives of Atlanta's Sheree Whitfield has been harping on how her ex-husband, former NFL baller Bob Whitfield, did her dirty during their marriage and is shirking his responsibilities to their children. I always thought it curious Bob never said anything with all the negative statements she made about him. Well, now he is striking back talking about her looks and attitude in an on-air interview with The Nigel and Marco Show.
“I wish her the best. I’m happy [she's] doing something...I wish Sheree would quit trying to trash me and then use my last name...I’m feeling like I’m the mad scientist and I created Frankenstein. She didn’t have that nose, I put that nose on her. She didn’t have them breasts, I put them breasts on her. Put some electricity on that ass, now she’s tearing up the gotdamn laboratory. Sit down somewhere and calm it down. You forget who made you girl.”
Whitfield also hinted he has a sex tape with Sheree that might make an appearance if she doesn't cool her jets. Something tells me Sheree would welcome the attention brought by a sex tape, especially if the lesbian rumors persist.
They Should Do This On American Idol
Six women were arrested and charged with assault for allegedly attacking another woman due to her poor karaoke performance, according to officials at the Stamford Police Department.
The suspects, ranging in age from 19-20, were arrested Sept. 23 after fleeing Bobby Valentine's Sports Gallery Cafe in Stamford, Connecticut, where they are said to have attacked the woman.
The alleged victim, 25-year-old Leidy Alcantara, was singing "A Dios Le Pido" by Colombian singer Juanes when the suspects started accosting her.
"I was singing the song in Spanish, and some girl said I was very annoying," Alcantara told the New York Daily News.
The victim shot back something to the effect of, 'If you don't like it, you can leave,' which the girls took exception to, Stamford police spokesman Lt. Sean Cooney told the Stamford Times.The altercation occurred after the exchange of comments, according to Cooney.The women punched, kicked and pulled Alcantra's hair, according to police.
The six women then left the bar and were later identified by eyewitnesses, according to police. They were later arrrested and charged with assault, conspiracy to commit assault and breach of peace. They were released on $5000 bond and are scheduled to face a judge on Oct. 5.
