So many captions come to mind for these pictures: al roker dance school, drop it like its hot, from the windows to the walls, it takes two to make the thing go whiite, junk in the trunk, and you're kidding right?
Contrary to what the public believes–Dame Dash says he’s not broke! He chuckles when he reads about his rumored financial status — and, judging by his space that houses an art gallery, two music studios, offices for his magazine and a television studio, he seems to be doing fine.
Sticking to his money making ways, Dame is releasing Black Keys’ next album BlakRoc this Black Friday ,of course! The album features collabo's with RZA, Raekwon, Mos Def, Q-Tip and more.
Dr. Conrad Murray, the doctor accused of killing Michael Jackson announced last night he is returning to work. The doctor is in arrears with his child support and has not worked since Jackson's death. For those of you interested in booking an appointment with the New Millennial Dr. Death you can find him at the Armstrong Medical Clinic, Acre Homes, Houston, Texas, U.S.A.
Murray has admitted to administering Propofol and various benzodiazepines at Michael Jackson's home without a pulseox monitor, a defibrillator, and other monitoring equipment as well as leaving Jackson alone while on the medication; Murray says he was only gone for a few minutes. Police investigators say he was gone for at least an hour while Jackson slipped into respiratory depression leading to an eventual cardiac arrest. Murray maintains he did not give Jackson "anything that should have killed him."
If you feel like rolling the dice on whether or not the good doctor will be taking phone calls and visiting the loo during your important medical procedures, please book an appointment now. His receptionist is standing by.
I stayed up live chatting the AMA's with a group of folks from around the world. You would be surprised at how many international fans were trying to see this show. Some of my online friends in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Greece, the UK, and Scandanavia could not see the broadcast on television, so I kept up a stream of consciousness commentary on the show. I'm going to be honest with you: I haven't watched the AMA's in years and can't remember ever voting. That all changed this year with Michael Jackson's five nominations. I really wanted to see if he would be properly honored, so I tuned in. Spoiler alert: Michael won 4 of the 5 categories in which he was nominated.

He lost out to Taylor Swift for Artist of the Year. Even those who didn't really listen to Michael's music know he is artist of the millennium, let alone artist of the year. Where was Kanye when you need him?
Overall, the show was pretty dull and the producers seemed to be stalling on the good stuff and incorporating as much filler as possible. Half the show was devoted to country music and the other half seemed to be teen pop. At one point I threatened to scream if I saw one more Disney "star" come up to present an award. Shouldn't they have been doing homework or something?
Anyway, here is some of what I wrote.
I would give it an 8. I didn't like Janet's pants and she seemed to be just going through the motions in places. I also don't think she put any live vocals into it. Her makeup was flawless. She looked good and it was nice to see her honored as the opener, but I have seen her do much better. She had more fire in her eyes at the VMA's.
Some things never change. I thought it was totally inappropriate for him to bring his various children up onto the stage, plus the youngsters looked totally uninterested. He omitted Randy and I don't think he mentioned MICHAEL's kids either! What an ass!
Black Eyed Peas! Love them! I was hoping for pump it up and I've Got A Feeling. Why is Fergie in lingerie? She doesn't have to shake her pum pum to get attention. I like her darker hair. will.i.am is so far out there. Great club music. Love Apl's mohawk. Oooh, Taboo's wearing a sparkly glove like Michael! Did you see it? His already high sexy factor just increased exponentially! I have to admit I squealed with delight when they incorporated Nirvana. Yes, folks, I am a Nirvana fan. We like all kinds of (good) music over here on Planet Jackson.
Whitney's vocals are back! Last night's performance was miles better than her Central Park performance last month. Whitney has also thickened up! I really thought it would never happen, but she had a bit of a tummy and hips in that fitted white dress. I wonder why she wore it? Her makeup was flawless, but the wig needed a brushing. I could have done without that bit of hollering towards the end. When Samuel L. Jackson came out to introduce her, I half expected him to just say "she's a bad mother fcuker". He looked quite distinguished with his salt and pepper hair and pewter dress shirt.
Timbaland is back! I really missed his beats in hip hop. It's like he has some sort of embargo against working with the genre that made him. Ooooh, his autotune doesn't seem to be working, he doesn't sound good. That lady in the black dress looks scary. I like Nelly Furtado's hair. Okay, they incorporated some of Thriller at the end! Did you catch it?
Rihanna's set was weird and spectacular. I thought it had shades of S & M and I ain't mad at that. It made me sit up and pay attention. I did NOT like the costume.at.all. Her vocals were...she should have left out the guns as well. Do I sense a subconscious death wish here? Russian Roulette, her gun tatts, and this set? That tat on her neck and throat=epic FAIL!!!!! So tacky! This girl is having a slow public breakdown. She, Lauryn Hill, and Cassie just need to go away to some island to recuperate. Oh, scratch that. Islands are what got Lauryn in trouble in the first place.
Lady GaGa
I didn't like the costumes at all and I didn't care for her legs cocked open at the piano either. Is she wearing some sort of modified jockstrap? That whole set looks so dangerous! Broken glass, fire, and smoke everywhere. How is anyone else going to perform? I hope she doesn't get glass in her eye. I'm totally confused. I love her voice. She is singing live and she is fantastic. I really don't understand why she does all the gimmicks. She doesn't have to be Marilyn Manson. She's Lady Ga Ga and that should be enough. I felt like I was watching one of those crazy late-night specials on HBO (some of y'all know what I mean), so FAIL.
Let's see if she lives up to the hype. (She didn't.) She's been on the mommy track for a minute now. She never was much of a live singer. She is going to get pilloried for her mommy thighs. Twins in your late thirties will do that, LOL. Well, I liked the second pair of shoes and I loved the walking up the dancers' backs, but my favorite part was when gravity took over and brought that mighty ass down! At least she had plenty of cushioning! That was mean, wasn't it?
I was also a bit taken aback when Jermaine thanked Allah. That would have been fine if that were his award but it was Michael's. Michael learned about Islam but he wasn't Muslim. I bet Katherine had a fit when she heard that, too. She's a devout Jehovah's Witness. I wonder how they managed to keep Joe from attending and accepting? You know he probably wanted to. He was probably outside with the bouncers tombout 'don't you know who I am?' Jermaine was exceptionally self-centered tonight. You would have thought it was his award. At least he mentioned Michael's message: "Start with love and let's love each other."
50 Cent and Eminem kind of phoned in their performance. It wasn't anything spectacular. Eminem has squandered his potential on senseless beefs, anger, and drugs. 50 was always just hype. By the way, when you have to bleep out a good solid 4 seconds of your performance at a time then your song is too profane. Jay-Z and Alicia Keys could have just cued up a video of their VMA performance for that New York song. I felt like I was watching the exact same thing. Alicia did a decent job on her solo. I liked the spinning piano in the air.
TAYLOR EMINEFFING SWIFT??? At least she is acknowledging the Jacksons. She does NOT deserve this award. There is no way. What happened to the other awards? I know I'm not crazy. They have only presented three of the five in which Michael was nominated. WTF???
Why are they having Adam Lambert hump that woman's face (I later realized that was a man)and feel up the crotch of that woman on the pole? He knows he did not like it one.bit. What's with the man-kiss? He knows good and well he wanted to wear some spangled Liberace suit. All the screaming! Freddie Mercury he is not. He sounds like I did when they announced TS as the winner over MJ. I'm still screaming.
Ryan Seacrest, this show sucked. I'm never watching again. I feel so let down. This is B.S. Taylor did NOT deserve to win that award and she knows it. I never thought I would say this, but where is Kanye? I'm pissed because 1. there was no tribute 2. Michael didn't win artist of the year. I refuse to believe his fans did not vote for him in droves. this is a conspiracy! Even if, by some glaring omission Michael were not nominated, Taylor Swift still should not have won. She just doesn't have the chops. What she apparently does have is an army of 2-year-old fans who texted and voted on-line ad nauseum. 3. the show was extremely boring 4. 2 of Michael's awards were presented off-air and they didn't even bother to tell us that during the show. People were left wondering what happened. 5. Adam Lambert's closing number was disgusting and vulgar. I have seen him in person and he has no personality or stage presence; I guess he went for the shock value so we wouldn't notice his stumbling (he tripped during his set) and screeching and general lack of real showmanship. I am officially through with him and the whole American Idol fakery machine.
Trey Songz and Drake are skinny dipping in the same pool. Trey's latest girlfriend Tanaya were spotted canoodling at Diddy's party and usually appear to be the picture of industry happiness, but according to Blogxilla, it just ain't so. Supposedly, Tanaya was also spotted kicking it with Drake at the Kid Cudi video shoot and they have been creeping for a minute.
British soul singer Amy Winehouse wants to re-marry her beloved 'Blake Incarcerated'. Reportedly, she has asked him to marry her again and he is over the moon. The couple split several years ago after a toxic rollercoaster relationship which included repeated drug overdoses and domestic violence. The couple was often spotted intoxicated and disheveled in public. Amy's family and fans thought they scored a victory when approximately a year ago Amy relocated to the caribbean island of St. Lucia to rest, recuperate, and re-evaluate the direction of her life. According to Amy she has been drug-free and wants to adopt children. Many critics speculate a reunion with Fielder-Civil will undo all the positive work she has done towards her rehab and personal growth.
Rihanna is seeking your attention again. The "R-Rated" star wants you to know she's an exhibitionist. "To be honest, I'm even hotter at home, because I´m always naked there. I'm from Barbados, that's quite normal there. My pool boy saw me naked five times already."At first it was so embarrassing. I always forget when he comes. I'm so confused when I have a day off, I usually sleep until noon and when I wake up, I don´t even know what day it is. But he's used to this view now. I even told my assistant to text me when he comes to say, 'Rihanna get dressed, the pool boy is here.' "
#1 For the record, if you know exactly how many times he's seen you naked, you are doing it on purpose and
#2 She needs more people on that Barbados remark. Barbados is rather conservative compared to other Caribbean islands. People don't even walk around in bathing suits outside bathing areas like they might do in say, Miami, Key West, Jamaica, and so forth.
Rihanna just likes attention. She often seeks that attention by being in some form of undress. But you already knew that.
Heath Ellis, the woman accused of starting a ruckus at her local WalMart after cutting in line, then resisting arrest, will plead out her case rather than face possible jail time. The school teacher is accused of cutting in line in front of other customers, shoving other customers' merchandise aside on the conveyor belt, and becoming belligerent when confronted about her behavior. Ellis maintains she was just joining her cousin in line when the cashier became rude with her and refused to return her change. Store managers were called, words were exchanged and the police became involved. Police say Ellis then became even more irate and combative, kicking one officer in the face and another in the shins when she was being arrested and escorted to a police cruiser. Ellis says the officers called her racial epithets and asked her "why don't you go back to the ghetto."
She faced up to 15 years in prison on felony counts including assaulting officers, resisting arrest, and disturbing the peace. Under the terms of her plea agreement she will plead guilty to disturbing the peace and resisting arrest. She will serve a year of unsupervised probation, attend an anger management course and serve four days in jail before the end of the year. If she does not violate her probation, the her record will be sealed.
Page Six is reporting that while hip hop mogul Jay-Z attended the Victoria's Secret fashion show and after party, he would not walk the red carpet or pose with the models. A source told Page Six: "Victoria's Secret begged, but Jay-Z refused . . . he explained it was out of respect for Beyoncé." At the M2 party hosted by Microsoft's Bing, he was given a private booth so he could keep his distance from the models including Chanel Iman and Selita Ebanks.
He didn't have to worry about Heidi Klum pushing up on him because Seal has that all taken care of thankyouverymuch. Jay-Z recently cancelled his world tour to hold Beyonce's purse join his wife Beyonce on her own tour. Many cite sagging ticket sales as the reason for the cancellation while others say Jay wanted to keep an eye on Bey; Rumors persist Beyonce has an drinking problem and may be having an affair with her bodyguard Julius. For the record, I do not believe either of those. It would be extremely difficult for her to work non-stop the way she does if she were drunk all the time.
The Fulton District DA has agreed to the exhume Real Housewife of Atlanta's Kandi Burress' ex-fiance AJ Jewell's body to conduct a second autopsy after his parents challenged the medical examiner's official cause of death. AJ died earlier this year after an altercation outside an Atlanta strip club of which he was an investor. The coroner ruled his cause of death was a sickle cell crisis; many believe the crisis was brought about by distress and excitement from the fight.
One of Ma$e's former church members is airing him out for hipocrisy. Christian rapper Legacy the Jesus is upset with Pastor Mason Betha for very publicly getting saved and preaching God's word then going back to the street life--and asking church members to fund it. For me, I’m an investor dog,” he continued, airing out Mase’s alleged shady ways when it came to getting money from church members. “Because I’m sewn into your ministry, you pulling us in the back room asking us to help fund your music projects because he didn’t have his label situation yet. So he literally asking people from the church to support that so I’m an investor at this point … you understand. And if you taking my money to do something contrary to what you told me then we got a problem. We got to sit back at the roundtable and talk about what your motives are.”
If you missed Saturday's Anti-NBA Finals game you missed a real gem. With half a second left in the first quarter, the New York Knicks inbounded the ball to guard Nate Robinson. Robinson then turned around and tossed a 30-foot shot at the wrong basket. Get this: he made the shot! Fortunately for him and the Knicks, the ball swooshed through the basket after the buzzer so it didn't count, but that didn't stop the owner from wanting to kick his butt.
there is no 'Cleveland' or no 'Cavs' in this proposed 10 story ad for the building across the street from the Cavs home, the Quicken Loans Arena. Nike's request for the ad has been tabled by the city planning commission for now.
