Weekend Buzz Bonus Material

You smell that? It’s the aroma of fresh H.A.M. cooking in the oven! The Vibe Awards took place this past weekend in Culver City, CA. David Banner, Kimora Lee Simmons (sporting a new blonde mess), T.I., Sanaa Lathan (who didn’t look like she just had a baby by Denzel at all — c’mon man, ya’ll should’ve known better than to believe that!), Pharrell, Rhianna, Nia Long, and Juelz Santana were among the many who came out to enjoy the festivities.

Normally I would do a blow by blow post on the top messes of the evening but that shit would take all night. You know the drill, Gettyimages gotcha covered. And can someone please tell Game that it is not that fuckin’ serious? Thanks.

Reviews of Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (via Butta)

Sean Burns, PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY - “On one hand you’ve got Tupac Shakur, Will Smith, Ice Cube, Mark Wahlberg, Ice-T, LL Cool J, Sean Combs and Andre Benjamin. On the other you’ve got 50 Cent. This kid stinks!

Devin Faraci, CHUD - “50 spends the film with one look on his face, and it’s the look that you imagine a caveman would have when confronted with a cellphone.”

Willie Waffle, WAFFLEMOVIES.COM - “Good news for 50 Cent! He doesn’t have to worry about finding a date and a tux for the Oscars, because he won’t be invited. He’s playing himself, HOW HARD CAN THAT BE?!? “

Stefan Halley, HERO REALM - “With the emotional range of a wet sock, Jackson mumbles through his lines with a blank expression.”

Steve Rhodes, INTERNET REVIEWS - “Rambling, boring and full of bad messages for our youth.”

Brian Orndorf, EFILMCRITIC.COM - “50 Cent’s fanbase might love this valentine to the rapper’s ego no matter the quality, but other audiences might not be as forgiving with this half-realized urban fairy tale.”

Its all about Chicken Little, nigga!

But if you are like me its only one thing about this movie you really care about and that my friends is the shower scene (NSFW). I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a thousand times, I hate putting C&D all over pictures but there are a few sites out there who don’t like giving people credit. Anyways, I don’t know who’s little penis that is so if anybody does lemme know. Ciao til tomorrow!

Hey, Whatever Happened To . . .

- El Debarge?
- Xscape?
- Bobby Brown’s feet?

- Mazel tov to 13-year-old Amber Ridinger, who is celebrating her bat mitzvah in a lavish style that puts the spoiled brats on MTV’s “My Sweet Sixteen” to shame. Amber’s parents, Internet entrepreneurs J.R. and Loren Ridinger, have hired Ja Rule, Ashanti and Omarion to perform at their daughter’s party at Miami’s Forge nightclub this weekend. The well-heeled Ridingers — who keep a penthouse here at the Ritz-Carlton and dock their 160-foot yacht at Chelsea Piers — also have convinced Mike Piazza to stop by and snagged Nicole Richie’s boyfriend, DJ A.M., to man the turntables. We’re told that Amber will wear a $27,000 Dolce & Gabbana gown and will debut her own fashion line — Gossip.

- As Muhammad Ali’s wife Lonnie attempts to deny recent reports that her husband is near death, rumors surrounding his daughter Laila Ali have been popping up across the Internet. The rumor seems to have come from one widely-circulated e-mail source that says the following: “Laila Ali and her husband/manager’s divorce is final. The two have been separated since January and their divorce became final November 1st. Laila has finally come to grips with her true sexuality and is happy with her new found freedom and is dating Grammy nominated actress, rapper, singer, Queen Latifah.” Latifah’s rep, Amanda Silverman of The Dart Group, told EUR via phone that the e-mail is “something that somebody made up” and that her client is not dating Ali. “I don’t even think they know each other,” she snapped, before hanging up.

Don’t Watch Me, Watch TV

- This bitch is crazy. I know this because I am a God warrior.

- If you are like myself and missed the pilot to Trina’s new sitcom (I’ve never heard of of the Black Family Channel let along actually have it), you can visit Miss Trina to download it.

- This must be “Lucky Nigga” (heh) week on Oprah. First Terry and Jonathan now Beyonce this later on today. I’ve been hearing some buzz that she will address the pregnancy rumors, her new clothing line, and someone is set to make a special appearance. She will also reveal a big secret (yeah right).We’ll just have to wait to find out. What do you think it is? Holla back.

- I want you to go upstairs and pack your bags . . . because you . . . and you and you and you and you and you and you are going to Fo’ Fo for a America’s Next Top Model recap!

- “Making The Bed 83″ was so predictable last night. I promise I told the dick dealer exactly what was going to happen. And can someone please tell that Lorrie Ann choreographer chick to sit down hoe.

Lorrie Ann to Dominique: “OMG, I totally called you everything but fat and greasy when you were dancing but now I’m all on your shit because Diddy’s said you sound great.”

- Buffie The Body clapping her ass - - NSFW! Edit: I was talking to Mo on AIM this afternoon and he showed me this. I have nothing to say but

WHIT

this is an audio post - click to play

“While ‘Hell to the no’ is novel (and perhaps another example of Whit’s incessant referencing), this one is practical and original. Not just a nutshell example of Whit’s Broadway-esque song launching, it’s actually a useful, cathartic way to express exasperation. Use it in your daily life. In doing so, you’ll see that Whit has redefined her status as the voice of a nation.” - - Rich

This should keep you entertained until tomorrow. You can thank Eightwonderofwit for that one.

Jay-Z Ripping Club Patrons Off?

At the Jersey shore, the new 40/40 club owned by hip hop mogul Jay-Z is getting a bad rap from a couple of patrons. They say they didn’t get their money’s worth, and had to go to the police. The 40/40club owned by hip hop mogul Jay-Z opened with quite a fanfare just a couple weeks ago. A couple of the patrons who booked private parties and paid big money are demanding their money back because they didn’t get what they paid for. Andrea Whitefield/Overbrook: “I didn’t have my balloons, photos, free set-up. I didn’t get any of these things.”Not the 40th birthday party package that Andrea Whitefield expected when she paid over $850-dollars at the 40/40 club in Atlantic City. She was not alone.

Dalina Dickson/Willingboro, NJ: “I got my cake….that’s about it.”Dalina Dickson also arrived at the police station this morning to file a complaint about the club. She paid nearly $400-dollars for her party. While the women had never met before this morning, both tell similar stories about how the club handled private parties this past Saturday. It was just two weeks ago that the club held it’s grand opening, an extravagant event attended by many music celebrities. Women say their parties this past weekend were nothing to celebrate.
It wasn’t until after several phone calls from the patrons and Action News and hours outside the club that a general manager showed up. The general manager claims these are isolated incidents and there are no plans to change how the club books parties.

LisaRaye’s Wedding Ceremony To Sugar Daddy Postponed

The extravagant two-day wedding event of LisaRaye McCoy and Honorable Chief Minister Michael Misick, Turks and Caicos Islands, has been postponed, the couple announced in a statement. The wedding festivities were set to begin on Dec. 27 followed by the ceremony on Dec. 28 at the exclusive Amanyara Resort, in the Turks and Caicos Islands. However the bride, star of UPN’s “All of Us,” and her fiance point to unnamed obstacles in their decision to put the ceremony on hold. The couple stated: “Due to circumstances beyond our control, the readiness of the venue, and holiday travel limitations, we have decided to postpone the nuptials. Please note that we apologize for any inconvenience to our guests. We hope you have a fulfilled and pleasant holiday. Peace and blessings to all.
Now A Word From Our Sponsors

This shit a joke right?
By The Way . . .

- The softer half of Bey-Z recently stopped in Chicago to promote her True Star fragrance. This just in! Footage of Beyonce falling on stage - - she played that shit off like it was nothing. “It’s alright.” We fall down, but we get up . . .

- Not that you probably care but “Get Rich or Die Tryin“ hits theaters today. I’m calling the bootleg man as we speak to get on the “reserve” list. Don’t forget you can also cop 50’s new DVD/CD for BET at Wal Mart (you read that right). Fiddy’s video game comes out later this month just in time for the holiday season (which is smart marketing when you think about it). Hmm, Curtis better slow down before he ends up in MC Hammer burn out territory.

- You know its a damn shame when you can’t get black people to watch the news but everybody is ready to watch the showdown on Oprah today. Negras.


- One less employed nigga in Hollywood.

- The beautiful Dorothy Dandridge would have celebrated her 83rd birthday today. Go learn yaself and pay tribute.

For the several months I have been persuaded into watching “Raw Is War” every Monday night by my boyfriend. With every passing week I sit on the sofa complaining about the lack of authenticity and mystique that was once associated with professional wrestling. Gone are the glory days which once included such legends as Junkyard Dog, Iron Sheik, Sgt. Slaughter and the Ultimate Warrior. The wrestlers who now inhabit the ring are some of the most bland entertainers in the history of the company. One wrestler in particular though always seems to grab my attention.

Straight up and in your face, the fan favorite rapper and WWE Champion John Cena has made quite the notorious reputation for himself in WWE by speaking the truth and backing it up in the ring with his own style of ruckus. Pimping baggy jean shorts and a throwback jersey, Cena will often get amped up signaling the end for his victims by pumping up his kicks leading to him dropping his trademark “you can’t see me” catchphrase en route to the FU. A street brawler by definition, Cena is always up for a fight against anyone who steps to him. Of course, for those who step foot in the ring to lock up with Cena or do battle on the microphone, they best prepare to get burned by this RAW Superstar’’s blistering, edgy rap lyrics that often scorch the egos of those who dare challenge the rebellious rapper. Cena refuses to back down from any man who gets in his way.
John Cena is basically the WWE’s equivalent to Vanilla Ice. I can’t understand for the life of my why my dick dealer can’t seem to see that he is a gimmick. Everything from the spinning WWE logo inside of his world championship belt to his terrible use of ebonics always seem to provide me with tons of laughter as soon as he appears on the screen. Last night as he walked to the ring he sported what my Mama would call a G-Unit “cousin” shirt. Surely not from the Curtis Jackson collection but you could see it was obviously inspired by it. Weak. I don’t like this guy for the simple reason I believe he is trying to profit from the hip hop culture without giving anything back.
By The Way . . .

- Just when you thought “Trapped In The Closet Chapter 36″ featuring Terry McMillan and Jonathan Plummer was over they decide to take the act to Oprah. The show will air tomorrow so don’t let it slip your mind. This will without a doubt be water cooler talk for Thursday. You already know the girl is going to be glued in front of the screen.

- Regina King recently decided to show the boys off.

- For the people who missed the “The Boondocks” Sunday night Es got you covered. Also be sure to check out the hammer time photo at the bottom of the entry, heh.

- Check out some pictures from OutKast’s film Idlewind. Looks interesting already. Shouts out to Child of the Sun for the tip.

- Foxy Brown got her Paris Hilton pose on in a Louis Vuitton store last week. I hope she didn’t try to fight one of the sales associate instead of paying for her merchandise.

Rumor Control

Beyonce is not pregnant. Let it go.

When Keeping It Crunk Goes Wrong


Many may remember Raz B has the big lipped boy who sung with along side of his B2K compadres for a couple of years (and they had to nerve to put out a greatest hits record, pfft). Since the group’s disband about two years ago Raz has went on to perform at Bar Mitzvahs, car washes, and for spare change in front of the mall. This piece of video on Raz’s myspace profile shows him in the car belting out a touching tribute to his “man lumps.” Shouts out to Butta for the clip.

Which brings me to J-Kwon and Andy Milonakis of all people have collaborated to make a song titled “Like Dis.” On the track Andy and J-Kwon spit ridiculous lines like “we in the club eating grits”. As ignant as this is my girl Anise and I did A-Town stomp to it and let is repeat on my MP3 player a couple of times before we changed the song. Ha.

- Last week the NBA ushered in another season . If you are a basketball fan such as myself you were no doubt happy to see the games (and not another And 1 Mixtape Vol. 65 episode on ESPN 2) back on the air. Rhianna performed at the New Jersey Nets game as Grandpa Jay and Uncle Ty Ty looked on. Ashanti and Nelly were also spotted courtside at a Bobcats game sitting next to none other than Bob Johnson.

- A few months ago I told you all about Trina’s new sitcom. Over the weekend I was emailed a press release statement for the show from someone over at the network with more information. Peep:

The Black Family Channel will air the pilot for Trina’s “With Friends Like These” sitcom, where the Diamond Princess character Cleo inherits a beauty salon from her deceased aunt. Cleo quickly learns all is not glamorous, the beauty salon requires a lot of work and in addition to inheriting a salon she’s also inherited her aunt’s arch rival. The pilot will first air on Wednesday, November 9, 2005 at 8:30 PM and the repeat times are as follows:
Wednesday, November 9, 2005 at 12:00 AM
Thursday, November 10, 2005 at 9:30 PM
Saturday, November 12, 2005 at 9:00 PM

The Black Family Channel is viewed in 14 million households; all of the top 25 African American TV Markets including the following:

South Florida - Comcast Digital Cable Channel 482
West Palm Beach, FL - Adelphia Digital Cable Channel 135
Atlanta, GA - Comcast Digital Cable Channel 272
New York/New Jersey - Time Warner
Los Angeles, CA - Comcast Digital Cable Channel 293, Time Warner 248, Charter 162

Trina is also gracing the new cover of Ozone Magazine. Be sure to check her article out where she speaks about her relationship with Lil’ Wayne (ha), the industry, Jacki-O and Foxy’s beef, and her new album. Now I would say something but in the words of Kanye, I’m not fucking up my promotion. You just be sure to read Butta’s interpretationon of Trina’s ‘Glamorest Life’ contest.

- Moving along, I know you tuned into “The Boondocks” last night. Comments?

Sorry about the delay for The Freshest Week Ever. A little thing called life seems to always be going on. Cyber shoot me. I’ll have it up later sometime today.

Rumor Control

Everyone who watched BET’s 25 Strong knows that Laila Ali and her manager/husband divorce is now final. A friend who is close to the boxing champ tells Atlanta Gossip that she has finally come to grips with her true sexuality and is happy with her new found freedom. She reportedly said that she has found fredom and is dating Grammy nominated actress, singer, rapper, Queen Latifah.

Rhianna and Solange Help Bring It On for a Third Time

In the sassy cheerleading/dance flick, which is currently filming in downtown Los Angeles, a pair of rival squads compete for a chance to appear in Rihanna’s upcoming television special. It stars Beyonce’s sister Solange Knowles (”Johnson Family Vacation,” “The Proud Family”) and Hayden Panettiere (”Ice Princess,” “Raising Helen”).

The premise of that movie is so played out. I hope this shit comes straight out on DVD.

By The Way . . .

- Okay Janet let’s not get too happy. Don’t forget what happened to Martin’s crazy ass a few years back.
- I said it once and I’ll say it again, that boy Diddy sure knows how to party.
- I finally spotted the Destiny’s Child / Knowles family Wal Mart commerical last night and all I have to say is bleh. Do Michelle and Kelly not havet heir own damn family? It would’ve been a nice to see them having something likea holiday party in the commerical using everyone’s family.

- Ladies and Ghettomen start your Tivo’s! Don’t forget bitches that The Boondocks premieres on Adult Swim tomorrow night at 11 p.m. And when I say bitches I don’t mean it bitches in a disrespectful way. If you saw any of the advertisements for the show you’ll get it.

- At first glance this looks like every other Star/Al photo. Al looks like he is ready to be crowned prom queen while Star looks like his proud mother sitting in the crowd. And then . . .

STAR
Now I’m not saying that people who have keloids are disgusting - - I have a few relatives who have them myself. But I wish I had more hands cause I’ll give them titties four thumbs down. She could’ve at least attempted to hide that ugly scar with some light make up. I hope she didn’t “pay less” for her surgery. And why does she look like the main character in “A Bug’s Life”?

Bobby And Mike Coon For Massa

Posted by Fresh on November 4, 2005

(clip via the homie Soli, thanks girl!)
Now would you just take a look at the huge white audience they are cooning in front of. Hoe sit down! And did B. Brown just say “oh they my feets?” Black people take two steps forward and two “feets” back. But what do I know, Bobby and myself have the same taste in clothing.

I gotta admit that the shit was still pretty entertaining though.
