Idris Elba tells us what he likes

“I’d rather date someone who’s regular. But what often happens is that she faces huge criticism like , ‘Why her? She’s Miss. Ordinary’ (I hear Tameka will be single soon)...Be an independent woman. I love that...There is something quite devious about my personality, he confides with a sly grin. I’ll do all the right things. I’ll be the upstanding gentleman but behind closed doors, I want to let loose. As long as I know my secrets aren’t going to get out. You know what I mean?”

Yeah, I do. Call me.

Michael is still on top of the charts

Michael Jackson had three of the top 5 best-selling albums for the second week in a row last week (and he didn't even pass away until the second half of the first week). Here are the stats for the week ending July 5, 2009:

Number Ones sold 339,000 copies and would have been #1 on the Billboard 200 if catalogue albums were eligible for that chart. It more than twice as many as the album they put at #1. It is still #1 on the catalogue chart for the second week in a row. Including an album by the Jackson 5, Michael holds all 10 positions on the catalogue chart. Go back and read that again.

Thriller sold 187,000 copies and would have been #2, up from #3 the week before, if it were eligible for the chart. (Billboard is hating.)

The Essential Michael Jackson sold 125,000 copies and was also ineligible for the official chart. It would have been #5, down from #2 the week before.

Number Ones is also #1 in the UK and other places around the world. Michael is also topping charts in Japan with a special compilation called the King of Pop. It is currently at #6 in that country.

Michael's solo catalogue of albums sold 800,000 copies this past week, up from 422,000 the week before. Recall that first week was the week he passed and only included a few days.

He is indeed the King of Pop.

more on the McNair affair

I am soo tired of the following:

1. police and media referring to her as a "girlfriend" Jump-off or side piece would be the proper terminology
2. media continuing to interview her friends and family who have repeatedly lied to sugarcoat her personality and situation
3. media ignoring the racy and hoeish nature of all those photos she posted on Facebook with her T & A hanging out. Can we at least get a comment?
4. media acting as if it is perfectly acceptable and legal to leave home at age 15 to move to another state with your adult boyfriend. Would someone please question her family about THIS? How the hell were they raising her? Could we get some charges filed against that boyfriend for statutory rape? Can we charge her parents with something please or at least make them understand they were not going about things the right way?
5. people making excuses for the "stress" in her life. If worrying about making rent and car note are valid excuses for murder, I'm about to go postal on a select few people. The stuff they are talking about is normal everyday stuff. The fact that she couldn't handle it is further proof she had ongoing mental issues--issues I'm sure her friends and family were aware of.
6. media continuing to ignore the fact this girl knew he had a wife and kids, even met his family when they came in to eat at the restaurant where she waitressed. She gave nary a thought to his kids when he was flying her all over the country on lavish vacations or showering her with gifts. Even if he said he was getting divorced (which, by the way, sounds like some bull she and/or her sister-cousin cooked up to make her look less like a homewrecker because no papers were ever filed and the wife doesn't know anything about it) he was STILL MARRIED. "Getting divorced" isn't the same as "divorced."
7. Media ignoring the fact she had an unregistered, unlicensed handgun she purchased illegally from a co-worker. Can we at least get an arrest there?
8. If the jump-off had been named Shaniqua instead of Shahel, they would have ruled on cause of death at the scene. Her co-worker would have been in jail and her family would have been ignored. The media might have delved into her past, painting her as a loose woman who was looking to make a buck off McNair and lost it when it didn't pay off. Her family wouldn't have been given a chance to defend her character. We wouldn't have heard about her dead mother. She wouldn't be given the title girlfriend or even mistress. She would have been labeled "regular call girl" or something along those lines. They might have even sprinkled some crack around the scene a la Dave Chappelle. I'm just saying...

Ron Artest was a Michael Jackson Fan

Ron Artest just signed with the Los Angeles Lakers and chose the jersey numnber 37 to commemorate the number of weeks Michael Jackson's Thriller stayed at the top of the charts in the 80's.

Swimming Like It's 1963

I know this doesn't have anything to do with entertainment-but this BS just ain't right.

A Philadelphia-area day care center said Thursday that members of a private swim club made racist comments about the center's children, and the club then canceled their swimming privileges. The day center's director, Alethea Wright, had contracted to use the club once a week. During their first visit, some children said they heard club members asking why African-American children were there.One of the boys told the Philadelphia Inquirer that a woman at the club said she feared the children "might do something" to her child. Days later, the day care center's $1,950 check was returned without explanation, Wright said.

According to John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club -- "there was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion(WTF?!) ... and the atmosphere of the club."

A private Philadelphia boarding school, Girard College said Thursday that it plans to help the day care center.

I say we do like we used to do back in the day and load up the Electra 225, get Hickey, Steak Lips, Big Nook, Daze, the McCutcheons and dem, ride down to the Valley Swim Club and pee all up in they pool!

Raven Symone Has Baby Girl

Congratulations MAYBE in order for 23 year old Raven Symone. It has been speculated the child star has given birth recently to a baby girl even though, noone even knew she was pregnant! She did a good job keeping that a secret, but she couldn’t keep the conception a secret. It’s rumored that the father is Raven’s gay BFF, Jussie Smollet. Raven apparently had the baby about a month ago in a Atlanta Hospital. It is said that Jussie actually donated his sperm to his best friend so she could have the baby girl who she named Lilianna Pearman.

Now her rep is reporting to People that no, it's not true at all."Raven-Symoné is not pregnant nor did she give birth," her rep told People today. She is scheduled to perform tonight (Thursday) in New Jersey at the Six Flags Great Adventure.

J-hud didn't admit she was pregnant for nine months; my wife's ass was sent home the day after.

Brandy Dropped by Record Label

She once dominated the record charts, Brandy has been dropped from Epic records due to poor sales of her 2008 release, Human. She also lost management assistance of Roc Nation! Human sold just over 196,000 copies to date. That wig/weave line is going strong, however.

17 Years for THIS?
