Drew Lachey wins!

I'm so happy that Drew Lachey won "Dancing with the Stars", he was my favorite and so dedicated. I was also rooting for Jerry Rice but Drew was a better dancer.

Update: Hezekiah Walker

I received a comment from dajooce over the weekend regarding the story on Hezekiah Walker:
HEZEKIAH WALKER AND GAY AFFAIR STORY - FALSE
By: Tim Hunter, Founder
We at musicnewsweekly.com deeply apologize to the family, friends,congregation and Pastor Hezekiah Walker, for allowing ourselves to bepawns of a totally false story that was confirmed by mediatakeout.com. As the founder, I am deeply hurt of the lack of integrity and respect I have allowed to come through Music News Weekly against Pastor Walker. I was given the opportunity to discuss this matter directly with Pastor Walker and offer my sincere apologies for allowing such a terrible thing to take place. In doing so, it was clear to see the strength of god in the middle of total evil.
Pastor Walker, in total wholeness, accepted my apologies. For those that don’t understand how powerful that is, let me offer a deeper lookat what this man has suffered because of this story. Pastor Walker is a man who built a reputation of solid integrity and respect, worked very hard for all that he has, and inspires many through song and word. A man who speaks to uplift and does so with his own actions. But, onestory, which was derived most likely from one sick individual, almost caused destruction to all that he has built. A great many people are familiar with Pastor Walker in all that he truthfully represents.
Thanks to a young lady within his church named Nicollette, I was able to dig deeper to find what everyone else already new. Pastor Walker is a HETEROSEXUAL MALE who was the chosen victim of total stupidity on behalf of many. As for myself, through the shame that goes with the territory, express the fact that I am very apologetic to all. I find it very troubling that this fictional story caught my attention and that of other media outlets, but the Pastor Walker program dedicated to influencing gang members from Bloods & Crips to turn in their guns went unheard. I now see this as a blessing and opportunity to actually tell the story of a man and some of the great things about him. We will do a profile story on Pastor Hezekiah Walker and let the world read about his real life. Posted by Music News on 02/24 at 01:20 PM ",1]

007 fans to boycott "Casino Royale"!

Avid James Bond 007 fans have launched a website boycotting the new Bond Daniel Craig's film Casino Royale. The site craignotbond.com calls Craig a "Bill Murray look-alike" and "a short, blond actor with the rough face of a professional boxer and a penchant for playing killers, cranks, cads and gigolos pull off the role of a tall, dark, handsome and suave secret agent". Coming to the defense of craig is former oo7 Roger Moore, saying ""He's a helluva good actor," and "So why attack him?"....the movie is already filming but we'll see if they succeed in killing sales when it comes, I highly doubt it....

Trump fires a scathing letter to Martha.

Donald Trump is blaming Martha Stewart for the dismissal of her version of "The Apprentice" telling her to take responsibility for the show's lackluster appeal. Martha initially said recently that she was supposed fire Trump at the beginning of her show but instead he went ahead with his show and that having the two shows at the same time was "unfair". Trump wrote a letter to Stewart saying her version was "a mistake for everybody especially NBC" , he even went on to say:

"Your performance was terrible in that the show lacked mood, temperament and just about everything a show needs for success," he wrote. "I knew it would fail as soon as I first saw it and your low ratings bore me out." ....damn that hurts like a knife, and he also said:
"Between your daughter, with her one-word statements, your letter writing and, most importantly, your totally unconvincing demeanor, it never had a chance much as your daytime show is not exactly setting records,"
And to add more fire to it he said:
"Essentially, you made this firing up just as you made up your sell order of ImClone," ...in conclusion he said "P.S. Be careful or I will do a syndicated daytime show, perhaps called The Boardroom, and further destroy the meager ratings you already have! " This is more interesting than listening to feuding rappers dissing each other on mix tapes. Read the full version here.....

Vegas Casinos warned to ban rappers.

According to the Movable Buffet, casinos and night clubs in Las Vegas have been warned by authorities to ban rappers "especially 50 cent" because of escalating violence whenever they perform. They claim their whole act is based on violence. The Gaming Control Board has even gone a step forward by sending a note to casinos reminding them that they are soley responsible for any regulatory violations that happen within or outside of a nightclub located within any casino.....Can this be categorized as being racist if you ban a specific genre? Rap isn't the only genre out there that perpetuates violence. Why single out rappers only?

Chilli from TLC arrested for drugs.

I'm in shock because she's had this sqeaky clean image but I'm just hoping it's not true.

Clay Aikan gay trist exposed.

So I read about this a while ago but didn't want to write about it because I figured it was one of those false rumors but it's getting pretty interesting.

Update on Busta's video shooting.

As reported yesterday Busta Rhymes' bodyguard Israel Ramirez was shot during a video shoot in Brooklyn. New York City Newspaper are reporting the following:
* It is believed that Busta was standing next to his bodyguard and saw everything and was playing peacemaker at the time.
* The shooter was aiming at someone standing behind Ramirez and said to Ramirez "It has nothing to do with you, just get out of the way!".
* Detectives also want to speak to rapper Tony Yayo and other G-Unit members because it is alleged that the gunman got away in Yayo's car.
* Supposedly there was some tension between G-Unit members and Busta's producer Swizz Beatz for not getting enough shine on the shoot.
* Ramirez might have not been target because he was guarding Busta's jewelry but because he was in the way.
* Police want to speak to Busta and Yayo, who has immediately hired a lawyer, they are saying he is not a suspect at this time.
* Street laws might be hindering folks from coming forward to point out the shooter, no one wants to be called a snitch and suffer the consequences.
