Cassidy denies HIV rumors
Some girl has been littering the internet with rumors Cassidy gave her HIV. She has been contacting bloggers and entertainment sites with her story she let him hit, then when he quit, she found out she was positive. Cassidy tweeted furiously to deny the rumors:
“ Stopactinstupid! I don't even know that lil girl.. I just took a pic being nice.. I only f#$% pretty girls 10's, and I still don't go raw.”
"I'm sick wit but not like that! The b*#% probably just mad she not my type..lol.. I'm perfectly healthy, so it can't be true.

At least he denies going raw dog. I would hate to see someone else go out like Easy E.

Murray loses license
The California Attorney General Jerry Brown has succeeded in his request to have the court suspend Conrad Murray's medical license in his state. The AG's office filed a motion on behalf of the California Medical Board on February 8th calling Murray's conduct during and after Michael's death, "reprehensible" "so egregious as to shock the conscious." The motion also stated that Murray "took the life of his patient" and "showed utter disregard for the care and well-being of his patient" and that his actions "make him a danger to the public." This is what Michael's fans and Murray's medical colleagues have maintained all along. Virtually every doctor and nurse anesthetist practicing in the U.S. today knows that the standard of care was not met in this case; they want to distance themselves from his apparent negligence.
For his part, Murray's attorney, Ed Chernoff, entered a plea of not guilty and denies any wrongdoing on behalf of his client. Chernoff told the AP the filed motion was unnecessary and could have a significant negative impact on Murray's abilityto practice medicine and earn a living. Well good then!

Same $h*t Different Day
Police are seeking Naomi Campbell in connection with an incident where she allegedly assaulted a driver with a cell phone...now, I love Naomi in all her bad girl glory. I'm going to tell you, by now people should already know what they are going to get with her. I tend to think people try to provoke her anger so they can get that big pay day they just know is coming. Heck, I've got bills due!
Lil Wayne finally went to jail on Monday. My local nightly news even showed the footage. I haven't decided if it was just a slow news day or if the sight of ABM going to jail excited them.
In another historic moment
In another historic moment at the Oscars on Sunday, a woman won the Best Director category for the first time; Katherine Bigelow won for her Iraq War movie, The Hurt Locker, over her ex-husband James Cameron. Now, many critics had pegged Cameron to win, but you know there was a contingent of viewers who were hoping the award would go to Lee Daniels for Precious.

B*tch whatchu doin'?: woman pulls a Kanye at the Oscars
When the director of Music by Prudence came running down the aisle like he was on the Price is Right to accept his Oscar, the producer of the film Elinor Burkett--who had apparently been dismissed from the project--rushed the stage and pulled a Kanye interrupting him mid-syllable to monopolize his acceptance time. He just stood there grinning hard and looking at her like "B*tch what the fcuk?" Personally, I would have pushed her @ss into the orchestra pit, but that's just me. I find it amazing the orchestra didn't start to play to drown her out or no security came up. I find it even more amazing the media is NOT reporting on this incident at all! Kanye's career took a nosedive after he interrupted Taylor Swift. Who is speaking out for this dude? No one but bloggers and Black folk, that's who.
The Oscars honored Michael Jackson

M'onique's Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress was the highlight of the evening
Let's take a look at how she got to where she is today:
Fashion at the Oscars: M'onique's dress killed it!
Monique's dress shined last night, which was fitting because it was HER night. She was the best-dressed out of all the Best Supporting Actress nominees last night, and her hair and make up were flawless. Gabby Sidibe was dressed in bold electric blue while her mother appeared in a classic black dress. I was happy to see Gabby walk the red carpet with such confidence, but I thought her dress could have been bolder, less classic, and more flattering than it was. I also felt she needed a bit more color in her makeup given the bright color of the dress. Zoe Saldana appeared in shades of iridescent lavender. I thought the bodice of the dress could have been more flattering given her petite frame, but her hair and make up were classic and tasteful. Host Sherrie Shepperd sported what must have been an industrial brassiere to support her unbalanced look in that dress. Her stylist also could have chosen something much more flattering given her recent and very public weight loss. Host Vivica Fox chose a sleeveless black number that showed off her curves to perfection; unfortunately, her weave was not on point. As a matter of fact, it was not even on her head properly. Note to her hair stylist, a natural hairline for a woman does not begin all the way at the crown of her head. What weave was there looked good, but her giant forhead and naked front of her head were distracting the entire time she was on camera. Sherrie Shepperd should have hooked her up.

Bill Clinton tried to hip Tiger Woods to game
Reportedly, former President Bill Clinton recently reached out to disgraced golfer Tiger Woods to offer him support and advice in the wake of his recent sex scandal. Unconfirmed reports have the president, no stranger to sex scandals and infidelity himself, telling Tiger, "game recognize game and your game is looking kinda unfamiliar right now."

Washington D.C. legalizes same-sex marriage
Same-sex couples can start applying for marriage licenses today in the District of Columbia. The marriage bureau expects as many as 200 additional couples to line up for marriage applications today; there is already a line forming outside the building, which does not open for another five minutes. The same-sex marriage law was introduced in the 13-member D.C. Council in October and had almost unanimous support from the beginning. The bill passed and D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty signed it in December. The law had to undergo a congressional review period that expired Tuesday paving the way for the District to begin accepting applications this morning. Couples who apply today will have to wait until March 9th to have their ceremony due to a mandatory waiting period. D.C. is only the sixth place in the country where same-sex marriages can be legally performed; the other are Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Joe Jackson granted access to Michael Jackson's medical records
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled that Joe Jackson can receive his son, Michael Jackson’s, medical records from the UCLA Medical Center. Joe Jackson's attorney, Brian Oxman, sought the records as part of an effort to obtain a $15,000 montly stipend for Joe from Michael's estate; Michael provided for his three children and his mother, but excluded his his father from his will. The judge will review the records first before releasing them to Oxman. Beckloff also ruled Jackson can only review records generated on or after the date of Michael's death so as to not violate doctor-patient confidentiality. Anyone granted review of the medical records will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement. Jackson and Oxman stated they are also considering filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Michael's death.

France arrests the widow of former Rwandan dictator
French officials arrested the widow of deceased Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana; officials took Agathe Habyarimana into custody on charges of genocide saying she was at the core of the regime responsible for over 100,000 deaths during Rwanda's civil war between the Hutus and the Tutsis which was sparked by the deth of her husband in a plane crash. Ironically, it was the French who helped to spirit her out of her country, first to Zaire, then later to France when things went south in 1994.

Marvell Scott charged with rape
Former WABC sports anchor, Marvell Scott was charged this week with raping with a 14-year-old
prostitute in New York City. Scott, 36, allegedly met the girl through her pimp. He allegedly took her and a 16 year old girl to his apartment where she refused to deliver the agreed-upon services. He then allegedly raped the girl, who had just turned 14 the day before. Scott, after initially denying he had met the girls, eventually said he allowed the girls into his apartment to use the restroom. He was released on $10,000 bail after pleading not guilty Tuesday. He was also charged with patronizing a prostitute and endangering the welfare of a child. He faces up to seven years in prison if convicted of the charges.

Whitney Houston should retire
Whitney Houston turned in another horrible live performance, this time in Brisbane, Australia. Reportedly, Whitney's voice cracked and she couldn't hit the high notes. She ended up bringing out her brother to sing the high parts and stood there guzzling from water bottles when she should have been performing; angry Australian fans walked out of the concert in droves. Given Whitney's string of poor performances at her Central Park debut, on the Oprah show (where she barely talked let along sung anything), Dancing With the Stars, and so on. Despite Clive Davis' massive investment of time, money, and faith, I think it's safe to say her voice is cracked out. She should just retire before she does any more damage to her reputation. I hope it was worth it Whitney! Still love ya hon!
Jayson Williams gets five years in prison
Former New Jersey Nets basketball star Jayson Williams was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday for the fatal shooting of his limo driver Costas "Gus" Christofi in 2002.
"There's not a day I wake up and I don't feel sorry for what I did to Mr. Christofi," Williams offered as an apology.
He pleaded guilty last month to aggravated assault in the shooting death of Christofi. Under his plea deal, Williams could have been sentenced to anywhere from 18 months without the possibility of parole to five years in prison; the judge imposed the maximum sentence at the behest of prosecutors.
Williams waived his right to appeal in return for the state changing the indictment from a charge of reckless manslaughter to a charge of aggravated assault by recklessly causing bodily injury to another with a deadly weapon. Williams celebrated his 42nd birthday Monday.

Everyone hates Tiger
Tiger Woods is scheduled to give a statement this morning at 11:00am on ABC, NBC, CBS, and ESPN regarding his recent scandal and his future in the sport of golf. Players, sponsors, and members of the media alike are all speaking out about their displeasure with his timing and handling of the "press conference."
Ernie Els did not mince words when telling Golfweek his opinion on the timing of the Woods statement; Woods scheduled his appearance on the Friday of the Accenture tournament in Broken Sound in Boca Raton, Florida. "It’s selfish,” he said. “You can write that. I feel sorry for the sponsor. Mondays are a good day to make statements, not Friday. This takes a lot away from the golf tournament.”
The Golf Writers Association voted overwhelmingly to boycott today's conference due to a breakdown in negotiations over the terms. Journalists are angry Woods will be speaking via closed-circuit camera from a location a mile away from them and will not be taking any questions. They released a statment saying in part:
“I cannot stress how strongly our board felt that this should be open to all media and also for the opportunity to question Woods,” said Vartan Kupelian, president of the 950-member group. “The position, simply put, is all or none. This is a major story of international scope. To limit the ability of journalists to attend, listen, see and question Woods goes against the grain of everything we believe.
The GWAA also believes strongly that its presence, without the ability to ask question, gives credibility to an event that isn’t worthy of it."
The public criticism marks a shift in the usual deference afforded Woods in the golf world and could mark a permanent end to his overwhelming power and dominance in the sport.

“[Milk] was definitely a part of my upbringing for sure,” she said. “I definitely want to have that on my kitchen table.”
I think Jennifer looks great in her photos, but I have to ask: either she has a phenomenal post-baby fitness routine or someone deserves the photoshop of the month award. Now don't get me wrong, I love sistergirl's curves, but we all know she's got a dunk.

This brother won a gold medal
In a repeat of his gold medal-winning performance in Turin four years ago, Olympic speed skater, Shani Davis, won gold again in the 1000 meter race yesterday in Vancouver with a time of 1 minute 8.94 seconds. He edged out the competition by 0.18 seconds by pumping his arms and summoning his last reserves of energy to cross the finish line.
“It doesn’t matter what it looks like, just as long as you get across the line as quick as you could,” he said with a laugh.
Davis is the first skater to win that event twice at the Olympic Winter Games. He is was the first African American to win an individual gold medal at the Winter Games when he won his first gold four years ago at the games in Turin, Italy; he is also only the third American male to win more than one speed skating gold medal.

BAD subway station to be memorialized
The Downtown Brooklyn Partnership has brokered an agreement to immortalize the subway station where Michael Jackson filmed his 1987 short film BAD. The Scorsese-directed story takes place in the Hoyt-Schermerhorn stop of the G-train. The Partnership plans to have an artist-created mural adorn the side of an office building belonging to real estate company Beneson Capital.
"We see this as a great opportunity to potentially establish Hoyt-Schermerhorn’s role in American pop culture and as a tourist destination to attract people to a part of Downtown Brooklyn already rapidly growing," Joe Chan, president of the partnership told The Post.
The planned tribute comes on the heels of a previously-rejected memorial to the King of Pop. Last fall, the MTA rejected City Council member Letitia James’ suggestion to erect a plaque and to rename the station after Michael Jackson.

No civil rights charges in the Sean Bell murder case
The United States Department of Justice announced Tuesday that after a "careful and thorough review" it will not pursue federal civil rights charges against police officers involved in the 2006 shooting death of Sean Bell citing insufficient evidence.
there is not enough evidence to prove that New York Police Department detectives "acted willfully" when they fired approximately 50 bullets at Sean Bell and his friends the night of November 25, 2006. Bell, 23, had been at a nightclub in Queens for a bachelor party with friends hours before he was to marry the mother of his two young children. The shooting occurred after an altercation with the plainclothes detectives in a parking lot. Neither Bell nor his friends were armed. Two of his friends, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, were seriously injured when the officers opened fire.
Detectives Gescard Isnora, Marc Cooper, and Michael Oliver -- who fired his gun 31 times that night, pausing to reload his weapon -- were acquitted of all charges in April 2008 prompting a statement from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg saying the acquittal was "inexplicable...and...unacceptable...it sounds to me like excessive force was used." Rev. Al Sharpton, Bell's fiancee and 200 others were arrested in the ensuing widespread protests sparked by the verdict.
Tuesday's DOJ statement explained that federal criminal civil rights charges hinge on prosecutors establishing that officers deliberately deprived the victims of their constitutional rights, and intended to break the law.
"Neither accident, mistake, fear, negligence nor bad judgment is sufficient to establish a federal criminal civil rights violation," the statement says. Rev. Al Sharpton released a rebuttal statement expressing his "extreme disappointment in the decision" and saying he may join with the Bell family in a civil lawsuit "to try and bring some justice...Fifty shots on an unarmed man who engaged in no crime is intolerable."
Kobe covers GQ
Kobe Bryant dishes about his proudest moments, his mistakes, and his game--on the court and off--in the next issue of GQ Magazine on the stands February 23, 2010.
On his relationship with Shaq:
“The biggest mistake I made was responding to what he was saying about me. Once I responded, now that made it seem like I was part of that whole thing. It’s like, Okay, these two are against each other. As opposed to just staying quiet, which is what I’ve been doing the last few years. Let him say what he needs to say.”
On how his win-at-all-costs mindset doesn’t carry over to the rest of his life:
“What people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me. That dark side that’s coming to get you – ha ha! I’m not losing this fucking game – that’s not who I am. That’s part of me. Off the court, I’m completely different.”

Beyonce's daddy has to pay up--for the time being
The judge in Matthew Knowles' paternity case ordered him to pay $8,200 a month in child support, retroactive to February 1. He is also responsible for all of the medical expenses related to the prenancy and birth that are not covered by insurance. Alexsandra Wright claims she had an 18 month relationship with Matthew and that he fathered her child, Nixon. Lawyers for both sides discussed long-term support amounts which reportedly ranged around $20,000 a month. Knowles' attorney asserted his client has already paid $10,000 towards hospital expenses related to the birth. The parties are scheduled to take a DNA test March 1, and the long-term support issues hinge on the outcome. It sounds like we might not need Maury for this one...
Serena 'It's a recession dammit!'
Tennis great Serena Williams has been blogging about her career aspirations. The legendary tennis player wrote on her Global Grind page that she has begun training to become a certified nail technician:
...I had a brilliant idea to get certified to be a nail tech. Besides the fact that I am coming out with a nail collection from a company called HairTech, I thought “Serena this is a no brainer.” Immediately after I came home from the Australian Open I researched some schools and enrolled in a course that allowed me to complete 240 hours (that’s what u have to do to get certified at least in fla) at my own pace. 240 hours may seem like a lot, but I intend on completing it within the year. It normally takes 6 weeks!!!
I ain't mad at her. She can't play top level tennis forever and it's a recession dammit!

YouTube's Bee goes in on the "We Are The World" remake
Warning: lots of cursing, yelling, and lous off-key singing!
Jay-Z wasn't the only one who was not impressed with last week's remake of "We Are The World". Check out how Bee goes in on the slap dash production, the singing, and the auto-tune. He is a bit off color, and definitely insulting, but he never puts down the actual intention behind the song...just some of the egos involved. For the record, I think Jay-Z and Beyonce chose not to participate which says something about them...Why on Earth didn't they have Gladys Knight at the mic? They let the Jonas Bros. and Miley Cyrus sing solos but Faith Evans and Gladys had to stand in the choir? Michael wouldn't have had that AT ALL! Here are the highlights of the video:
"Did y'all see that $hit?...Did y'all see that fuckery?...Mike had $hit on check!...Sheila E...Miley Cyrus...Beyonce...the Computer Love cord"...I can't...OMG...I'm DYING! LOL! At least they tried y'all. Enjoy!

Boxer Evander Holyfield's wife says he beat her
““He told me I was only thinking about myself, the children’s hearts beat faster...In 2008 he choked me in front of our daughter and housekeeper. In 2009 he has hit me in front of the children. He has grabbed me in front of the children. A couple of weeks ago he threw a bottle of water at me.”
If this is true, Holyfield can expect to be in a world of hurt. In many instances, use of force against another person by a boxer can be considered an even more serious crime than assault committed by a regular person. Plus, if they can't keep the heat on now, imagine what his bank account will look like after she gets through divorcing him--and they have kids? Oh hell naw! The media is already salivating trying to find the next Chris Brown/Rihanna story to beat into the ground, so he can kiss his ass(ets) goodbye.

Gossett said he was going public with his illness "to set an example for the large number of African-American men who are victims of this disease because of the comparatively low emphasis in our community on preventive examinations and early treatment...I count this diagnosis among the many challenges I have faced in my life and overcome...I expect this to be no different."

Fashion Designer Alexander McQueen dead at age 40
British fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead in his London apartment yesterday at age 40. He paid particular attention to structure, shape, and color and was heralded as an impeccable tailor, but he was most known for his flair for the dramatic.
InStyle Magazine's fashion editor Hal Rubenstein recalled, "He was an unbelievable showman. This wasn't someone who would ever dream of sending a collection down a white runway with you sitting politely in your seats," he said. Rubenstein reminisced about one of McQueen's shows where he projected a 3-D hologram image of Kate Moss on the runway, giving the illusion that the supermodel was trapped in a prism. He also remembered another where McQueen sent his models down the runway accompanied by live wolves. McQueen's shows were anything but dull and conservative.
Designer Betsy Johnson said McQueen was "the most inspiring, creative, genius designer of now." Vogue editor Anna Wintour said, "Alexander McQueen's influence was astonishing -- from street style, to music culture and the world's museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss."
McQueen was to present his new collection McQ at New York's Fashion Week this week; his show has been cancelled.
