A Hot Mess!

The new game show “Moment of Truth” on FOX pits contestants against a string of increasingly uncomfortable questions that they must answer truthfully in order to win money. If they answer one untruthfully, they lose all the money they’ve earned from answering other devastating questions candidly.

Watch this chick admit to punking her husband out in a plethora of ways, and then losing at the last minute on a stupid question. This is what you get for being greedy and thinking anything is worth a little bit of scratch. This show is a fiery mess.

Props to jaycurtis for the heads up.

Maxim magazine has apologized to Nas for reviewing his album “Nigger” — giving it 2.5 stars — because the album hasn’t even been completed yet.

RAPPER Nas was shocked when Maxim gave his new album, “N - - - - r,” a 21/2-star review - because it isn’t even finished yet. “I’m finishing the album now, and it will be out April 22,” Nas told Page Six. Maxim has since apologized for the premature review, but Nas doesn’t care. “I’d prefer [a review from] Playboy,” the rapper said. “That kind of stuff doesn’t reach my radar or effect anybody around me. I don’t know what a music rating from Maxim is . . . I don’t know what it even means really.” Maxim also reviewed the Black Crowes’ album, “War Paint,” without listening to it in its entirety.

Are we really surprised by this? I mean it’s not like Woodward and Bernstein are running Maxim. LOL @ Nas shitting on them.

I ignored this when I first heard about it because it was from Chinese Takeout but I guess the woman who was with Tank actually spoke out and said that he was indeed brutalized by police this past weekend in New Orleans.

R&B singer Tank was arrested outside the House of Blues in New Orleans early Monday morning on several charges including disorderly conduct.

The singer and a friend were headed to an afterparty for NBA All-Star Weekend at the House of Blues, but were reportedly blocked by police due to a shooting in the area. According to an, the police were rude, harassing both Tank and his female friend Ira Dewitt, before telling them they could not enter the area.

In response, Tank told the policemen “Why are you gonna be like that?” Then, immediately began to walk way. That’s when three police alleged attacked Tank and began using their tasers on him.

“We started walking away,” Ira told MediaTakeOut.com, “but they grabbed Tank and threw him against the wall. [The cops] bent one of his arms up and the other arm back and asked him to do something. Tank told them that he couldn’t and before you knew it, there were three cops all over him… and they tased him.”

Tank was arrested and booked, and was reportedly released on bail Monday. (Source)

I’m sure these cops didn’t know who he was (and I can’t really fault them for that, no offense T) or else they would have been all “Pleeeeaseee don’t go” instead of jumping on his ass when he started to walk away. Tasers are no joke! They have you paralyzed on the ground and the only thing you can do is talk, really. It happened here at my school and apparently D-listers are the next target. Everyone watch out for them tasers!

Damn, this is rough! “Girlfriends” has been on the air for eight seasons and now The CW has not only decided to cancel the series, but to drop it without giving it a proper finale!

We hear from a source within the “Girlfriends” writing camp that the CW has decided to cancel the series immediately instead of bringing it back for a ninth season.

While no official announcement had been made as of press time, we were told the CW will not even film this season’s remaining nine episodes that were suspended during the writer’s strike.

Ironically, news of the show’s cancellation comes just as the strike has ended and the writing staff was preparing to return to work. We were informed by one of the writers yesterday that Monday night’s one-hour block of new episodes served as the show’s last.

“Girlfriends” became the longest-running live-action comedy series currently on network television with the debut of its current season in October 2007. The writers strike suspended production after only 13 of 22 ordered episodes were completed.

The series, created by Mara Brock-Akil, was consistently the No. 1 show in black households since its Sept. 11, 2000 debut. Original cast members Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Persia White and Jill Marie Jones starred as a group of close friends dealing with life and love in Los Angeles. Jones left the series in at the end of Season 6. (Source)

I guess Tracee will have to go back to being one of Diana’s snitches, Golden will continue to show up to red carpets looking a mess, and Persia White will um… uh… do porn infomercials? I don’t even know.

Leave it Oprah to bag the exclusive. Expect lots of crying! Maybe Oprah will give her a car?

Marion Jones will visit the “Oprah Winfrey Show” Wednesday (1/16) to discuss the legal issues that led to her six-month jail sentence for lying about steroid use and committing check fraud. (source)

While at first I felt bad for Marion, I quickly lost that loving feeling when the truth came out that she had been lying the whole time. I mean, really. If she had just admitted it all up front, they probably wouldn’t have been as harsh, which I think I remember someone saying. When they took her medals and suspended her, I’m pretty sure they were like “well, it was bad, but the broad LIED the whole time, and that made it even worse.”

I hope Dr. Dre, Wyclef & whoever else just admit they been getting “the clear” if they really did LOL. Though Wyclef hasn’t really made any music that the masses has liked for a while, and Dr. Dre has been holed up in his home gym getting pumped up like The Governator — he’s almost become a mythical figure LOL. Apparently Mary has already denied the reports that she ever used STEROIDS, but she said nothing about the human growth hormone. Hmmmm…that ponders me. ROFL.

This whole thing is a mess.

To be honest, I couldn’t be bothered with this past season of America’s Next Top Model. Each cycle seems to become more and more about Lacefront LaTigra and frankly, that’s an hour of my time that’s better spent Googling pictures of Claudette Ortiz. They should just rename the show “Tyra Banks Show: Modeling Edition” since she can’t seem to get enough of us looking at old modeling pictures of her, new modeling pictures of her, herself modeling, etc.

Saleisha is cute and all; I mean, I watched the first episode of the cycle and I was like “It’s a wrap. There’s the winner” but I don’t think winning this show means anything anymore, if it ever did.

These pictures are nice and she seems like a sweet and driven girl but can someone riddle me why she looks like Ciara in a Tootie wig? Like seriously, Sal, you won the show, I think you can take that piece of coral off your head now.

Some chick (LOL, I use that term loosely) is on Youtube claiming that she’s had relations with Remy Ma. Dude even has her call up Remy on the phone on speaker, and she answers, too. However, this seems like it may be a little bit of a farce. She all “yeah, Remy ate the box!”

*expires and turns to dust*

I wouldn’t turn it up too loud if you are at work, but there isn’t any nudity or anything like that. Just a man spouting off at the mouth.

If it’s true, I mean….hello Captain Obvious ROFL. But w/e. I could care less.

Cheri Dennis, who has been on Bad Boy Records since 1998 and has never gotten a release date, is finally coming out. No, not out of the closet, but maybe that may follow shortly. Her debut, In & Out Of Love, will hit iTunes next Tuesday, but the actual CD won’t come out until February 28, 2008. WTF?

“I am extremely happy and proud of the Cheri Dennis album,” Harve Pierre, President of Bad Boy Entertainment and Co-Executive Producer of In And Out of Love, said via statement. “It’s been a long time coming and the timing couldn’t be better with this enormous iTunes promotion. Cheri will finally have the visibility that she needs and be recognized as an incredible soul singer.” (Source)

O rly, Harv? It sounds to me like you’re testing the waters with this mess and if it flops she’s going straight back to the bottom of the pile. I don’t know what Cheri did in a past life to deserve this but they are doing my girl wrong! Remember last year when they were using her MySpace to promote other Bad Boy artists? Cold as ice, I say.

T.I. Arrested on Federal Firearms Charges

Arrest Comes After Harris, a Convicted Felon, Accepted Delivery of Machine Guns and Silencers; Additional Guns Found In Harris’ Vehicle and House

Atlanta, GA CLIFFORD HARRIS, 27, an entertainer also known as “T.I.,” of College Park, Georgia, was arrested in Atlanta at approximately 2:30 p.m. today by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), as he allegedly took possession of three machine guns and two silencers. Three other firearms were found in the vehicle HARRIS was driving. ATF also executed a federal search warrant at HARRIS’ house at 4XX Creekview Lane in College Park, finding six additional firearms in his bedroom closet.

United States Magistrate Judge Linda T. Walker issued a federal criminal complaint after the arrest and search, charging HARRIS with the felony offenses of (1) possession of unregistered machine guns [and silencers] and (2) possession of firearms by a convicted felon. HARRIS will be held in federal custody over the weekend and then will make his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan J. Baverman at the United States Courthouse in Atlanta on Monday, October 15, at a time to be determined by the court.

“This investigation developed very quickly,” said Vanessa McLemore, Special Agent in Charge of ATF’s Atlanta Division. “We learned only this Wednesday that the cooperating witness was allegedly buying the machine guns for Harris. The cooperating witness told Harris on Thursday that he had obtained the items, and on Friday Harris made it clear that he wanted them delivered to him today. Harris then agreed to meet and took possession of the machine guns this afternoon. He now faces serious federal charges and a potentially long prison sentence.”

So, T.I. done messed up. LIKE, FOR REAL. They got audio and video? He’s done. You don’t mess with the Feds. I really hope he still wasn’t dealing either.

The cold part? HE WAS SNITCHED OUT BY HIS BODYGUARD.

Snitches get stitches, and I hope that dude leaves the country. That is so scandalous!

But, I’m not even mad because Clifford is an ex-con and that is SO illegal, which he FULLY knew. So, he really gets no pity from me.

I just got one question: why does lil’ homie need all that heat!? I mean, don’t he live in the suburbs!? Are Tiny’s exes threatening her?

Sweet Minty Jesus Reincarnate Johnny Cochran!

“When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong” because I really can’t believe he had all them guns. All his work…bout to go up in smoke. Dude couldn’t even make it to the BET Awards and pick up his 2 wins because of this. And that’s only the beginning. He’s about to miss out on alllll the award shows. Award show season is starting and he’s SOL.

Clifford, keep that hole tight and read the Bible! That’s all I can think of to say.

Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy pleaded guilty to a weapons charge in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday (October 9).

P spoke up in the middle of his trial proceedings to admit that the unlicensed .22-caliber pistol police found in his Chevy Suburban last October, was in fact his, according to the Daily News.

This, after the G-Unit member originally told prosecutors he had no idea the unlicensed, fully loaded gun was in a console compartment between the driver’s seat, where he sat, and the front passenger seat, where record producer The Alchemist was sitting.

This is P’s third gun rap and as reported by The New York Post, he was originally looking at 15 years. The 32-year-old Queens-bred lyricist struck a deal that will instead send him to the slammer for 3 1/2 years.

As reported previously by SOHH, P’s car was searched after cops pulled him over for making an illegal U-turn on Ninth Ave. in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. (source)

All this cause didn’t use a turn signal?!

*runs outside to check lights*

Well, I hope I don’t cough on an officer’s maple bar one morning in Winchell’s. They will probably give me 10 years. Sweet Minty Jesus be a butt plug Albert Johnson.

OK, so I was just browsing around today and I see this write-up about Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, who are in the process of a NASTY divorce. I am just taken aback! Ya’ll got to see some of this because I had no idea the YT folks got down like this LOL.Apparently he’s been emailing her and basically giving her the e-riot act via email LOL.

“Go cry to your bald mom, you [bleeping] loser,” Charlie Sheen wrote to Denise Richards in an e-mail the actress included in documents filed last week in L.A. Superior Court in the couple’s custody battle.

“You are a pig. A sad, jobless pig who is sad and talentless and sad and jobless and evil and a bad mom, so go [bleep] yourself sad jobless pig,” reads another.

If Denise Richards is a pig, then Charlie Sheen is a ______________________. Fill in the blank. He’s talking about her mom….WHO IS IN CHEMOTHERAPY FOR CANCER. Dang!

However, Denise Richards isn’t taking this lying down (every pun in the WORLD intended!)

Pictures of Sheen’s “erect penis” that Richards says he used for his profile on sex sites are also included, which Richards claims he e-mailed to “approximately 30 women.”

“I’d love to give it to you any time,” Sheen wrote to one woman under the screen name “mrjonze55.”

Richards says Sheen even visited gay pornography sites - “which I found even more disturbing because I felt that the boys looked underage,” the documents state. (see more here)

In the end, hopefully this comes out and the kids are alright, cause that’s all that matters. I’m sure Denise is gonna get that money. But….

Talentless? Excuse me, she was in the one of the most fantastic videos ever put to celluloid, “Undercover Brother.” THAT IS MY MOVIE, you hear me?

Mr. Feather dancing to “Family Affair” by Mary J. Blige had to be the day I died and was buried in my high school prom tuxedo, OK!? And Billy Dee Williams shilling fried chicken that was butt-kicking? CLASSIC. “I used to work for the Pentagon, now I help you get yo chicken on!”

Maxwell has had so much time off that he’s recorded nearly three albums worth of material, but Columbia Records still isn’t ready to release the first one, Black Summers’ Night. The album will be Maxwell’s first since 2001’s Now.

“Maxwell’s still working with Sade’s band, his tried-and-true team,” Kyamba “Hip Hop” Joshua an executive at Columbia Records told Billboard. “He took some time off and now he’s ready.”

“He’s recorded so much material that he’s got a couple of albums done,” Joshua added. “So, he might be going out on the road touring for this album soon. I won’t say the album will drop first-quarter 2008, but [next] summer sounds good.” (Source)

This is just foul. I’m mad at homeboy sounding like somebody’s mama anytime little kids want to do something. “Not right now. Next year is better.” When I lived in Chicago I always wanted to go on those foot-pedal boats in Lincoln Park but my parents always told me “Now’s not a good time.” I never got to ride them damn boats. Black Summers’ Night’s release is Maxwell’s pedal boats. LMAO.

RELEASE MAXWELL’S ALBUM!

On another note: LOL @ this picture of him. It’s recent and I just don’t know what’s going on. He looks like Marc Wilmore, dude who was on the last few seasons of “In Living Color”. Right?! Also, he looks like a candidate for the “before” shot on a deodorant commercial. Look at that chalky mess on his left shoulder. SMH.

Trailer from her new reality show called “Come Back & Come Up.” If you didn’t know, Dawn Robinson used to be the lead singer of EnVogue and Lucy Pearl. She got the boot from both groups. I have no idea who her husband is, but he’s an up and coming singer in his own right.

Apparently, they are talking to BET & TV One about airing their show.

Quite honestly, I found it intriguing and actually would watch it. I’d rather watch this than some “Flavor of Love 3″ BS!

How can one be so successful and be so broke? I doubt Dawn Robinson wrote many of the hits she lent her voice to. I know EnVogue was a producer’s creation, so I doubt she wrote ANY of those biggest hits. And if you don’t write songs, you are cutting yourself out of a lot of long-term residual income. That’s music industry 101 LOL.

I know she had a solo record on like, Q Records, which was some failed record label that QVC (yes the shopping network!) tried to start LOL. She was probably their first and only artist/release.

Dawn can sang, I’d give her a couple of G’s to sing a hook or something!

What a dog!

In her interview appearing in Essence, Mel B straight up outs busts out Eddie Murphy. I’m surprised she didn’t shave his beard! Kidding. Or am I?

Some of my favorite parts below:

ESSENCE.com: How did you two officially break up?

MEL B: There was no official breakup. I went to London and on my return flight I learned that he made that announcement about wanting a DNA test on that TV show. {Scandalous, Eddie! At least send a text message! — IPS} Then I saw him on the red carpet with Tracey Edmonds and that’s when I knew we were over.

ESSENCE.com: Whoa, what a way to find out. What was your gut reaction?

MEL B: I laughed because that wasn’t the guy that I knew who told me he wanted to have a baby and get married. I just didn’t believe it.

AND….

ESSENCE.com: Was Eddie ever excited about your pregnancy?

MEL B: Oh this was a completely planned pregnancy. This wasn’t some random, “Oops I fell over and I’m pregnant.” I don’t live my life like that. I’m a responsible parent and have been a responsible single parent since I got divorced. This is the one thing that really annoys me. If I wanted to have a baby I would have had a baby a long time ago. I wouldn’t have waited eight years to have another one.

ESSENCE.com: Wow. So you two sat down and decided to have a child?

MEL B: Yes, of course. As soon as I had my IUD removed we proceeded to get pregnant. It happened quicker than we expected but it was perfect timing.

SAY WORD!? BUT HERE IS THE BEST PART!

ESSENCE.com: Why do you think he went flip mode and publicly denied his flesh and blood?

MEL B: First of all, I’m a very independent woman so if you’re trying to control me, that’s not going to happen. In any relationship, it’s all about compromise. We were going to buy a house in Malibu and move in together. Somehow things got confused along the way because there were certain things that went on in his house with his lifestyle that I wasn’t prepared to be a part of. (GAY SEX PARTIES!) So that became a trippy discussion, which ended up where we both refused to budge.

ESSENCE.com: What is it about his lifestyle that you don’t like?

MEL B: I have a baby with this guy so I have to be somewhat respectful. I’ll simply say that there were lifestyle changes that he would have to make if we were going to live together and do it properly.I have a house where it’s about my kids and me. I don’t have people knocking on my door at 3 and 4 in the morning. I have a very simple life—I don’t have a ton of people looking after my kids—I’m a very regular person when it comes to that because I want my kids to have a normal life as much as possible.

So basically, Mel tried to shave his beard and make him a straight man? And he wasn’t having that. And Jonny Gill came by one night at 3 AM to kick her ish out cause that bish was trying to take his man! Jonny wasn’t having it.

And then Tracey stepped up to get in on the action.

And the midget came out the closet……..oops. Wrong story!

You get my drift. I think my version is pretty accurate though ROFL….
