- Usher is hanging out with Tom and Katie at Scientology fundraisers ya’ll. Its official, that nigga is due to go crazy next year.

- Whitney and Bob-bay are making headlines again, after being named the Tackiest Couple of 2005. Star magazine conducted a poll of more than 35,000 readers, who placed the couple at the top mainly because of their antics on the reality show Being Bobby Brown. Those people don’t know what they are talking about. Bobby Brown made “Tenderoni” nigga. Roni.

Top 10 Tackiest Couple in 2005
1. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown
2. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
3. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline
4. Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen
5. Jude Law and Sienna Miller
6. Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson
7. Ice-T and Nicole ‘Coco’ Austin (should’ve been number one)
8. Mischa Barton and Cisco Adler
9. Paris Hilton and Paris Latis
10. Star Jones Reynolds and Al Reynolds

- Who are these three chicks looking like they just got the hook up at Citi Trends? Why it’s Paul Wall’s wife (in the middle) and her girls collectively known as Velvet Ice. Now doesn’t that name remind you of a Prince song? Anyhow, you can check them out at their official website (they need to be getting at Huny because that site looks a mess) to listen to a clip of their song “I’m In Love.” It doesn’t actually sound that bad but for a full blown mess listen to “911″. I’m on fire, I’m on fiyah!

- I forgot all about the premiere of Beyonce’s video for “Check Up On It” last night so I decided to take a peek at the video today on Launch. I liked the opening seconds when the theme music from “The Pink Panther” blended into a bass-ridden track (I betcha somebody from Swisha House is going to rhyme over that real soon if they haven’t already). As Slim Thug (who looks a lot like Frankenstein) started to rap his verse standing in front of the pink backdrop, the scene from ‘Gold Digger’ where ‘Ye is looking over his shoulder doing that “neck thing” that my Dealer and I hate immediately popped into my head. The rest of the clip plays out like a 4- minute long Cover Girl commercial filled with a lot of ass shaking eye candy and wind-in-hair moments . . . which means it’s probably going to be the number one video on 106 & Park soon. Check up on it yourself.

- Hell has officially frozen over! A black man won on “The Apprentice” ? Next thing you know they’ll give us the right to vote.

Don’t Watch Me, Watch TV

After watching the reunion show on ANTM in disgust (more on that later), I had the immense (sarcasm) pleasure of viewing “BET’S Christmas Memories” special last night. Young (and horny) R&B newcomer Trey Songz took over the hosting duties of the hour long festivities which featured leftover R&B stars like Bobby Valentino, Marques Houston, Jaheim and Lyfe Jennings (whom music I actually dig). Real talk though, what’s up with that nigga’s facial hair? That shit looks scary as hell. Now if his mustache looks like that imagine how the rest of his body hair looks . . .

Anyway, I’ve always though that the concept of grown and sexy Christmas music was rather corny. I don’t know about you but nothing about “Frosty the Snowman” gets me in the mood.

So who do you call to come save the day when Beyonce’s calendar is full? Ashanti! After presenting Trey with a gift bag that included her new fragrance Warm Piss, urgh, Precious Jewel, and a Delicious Curves CD, Shani went on to perform cheesy Christmas ballads. To say that Ashanti’s performance was mediocre at best would be a compliment and I’m not in the business of spreading lies (wait, actually I am huh?). So I’m going to be truthful with you; I’ve heard cats in alleys who could harmonize better than that child. Damn, take the studi enhancement away from that girl and she sounds like me singing in the shower. But hey, I didn’t expect her to sound any better than what she did so whatever.

America’s Next Top Model’s reunion show was everything that I expected it to be: boring, lame, and uninformative. Now if I was someone who was without internet access I might feel differently but since I’m not I would have to say that the interviews with the girls didn’t tell me anything that I already didn’t know. I could call them out on so many things but I’ll just fall back and let Rich handle his bidness. Speaking of ANTM, looks who’s doing her thing.

My “up Nawf” people why ya’ll didn’t tell me the Ludameister aired Oprah out on Hot 97? Yup, from what I hear Chris Lova Lova (who remembers them days?) told Angie Martinez that when he appeared on her show along with the rest of the cast from the film Crash Oprah gave him a lot of shit. He said that Oprah suggested that Luda as an emcee was like a KKK member. Wow. Anyway, Luda let it be known that he did clap back at Oprah about her comments only to have them edited out of the show. Ay yi yi. I remember watching that particular episode too and I could see the frustration on his face.

This is of course a pop culture site but every now and then something special happens. This is one of those moments. Good night and God bless.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

I’m not Oprah or anything but here’s something for you all to enjoy. Pass it around like a fruit cake. Kanye and I would like to say thank you to Butta.

Yesterday “The Cousin Jeff Chronicles: Sex & Hip Hop” special aired on BET. I could sit and give my two cents about the show and its subject but I would be on here typing all day (ask Hashim). Anyways, the show took a behind the scenes look at casting for a Dip Set Remy Ma video. Jim Jones told casting directors loudly that “Wherever Pharrell get his bitches from that’s where ya’ll better get my bitches from.” Then he proceeded to walk past a chick and say something to the affect of “Just like this bitch, that’s what I’m talking about” and she smiled and him and kept walking to the video set. Mad niggerish.

- No, these aren’t two homeless men posing in a picture along with Chris Spencer, supposedly its Paul Mooney’s twin sons. Can you see the resemblance? All three of them have 3,000 teeth in their mouth so I wouldn’t rule the possible paternity out quite yet.

- OK! magazine spoke with Ashanti in a Q&A and asked the singer if she hopes to get married and have kids one day. “Absolutely,” she responded. “I love kids, I definitely want to get married and have an army of children.” But is the father likely to be Nelly? Apparently not. “Nah, I’m not dating anyone,” she said. “We’re good friends. We’re cool. He’s a good guy, a funny guy.”

- Jamie Foxx celebrated his birthday last week along with Snoop Dogg, The Game, Angie Stone, and Mike Tyson at his Hollywood Hills estate. Word on the street is that he was spotted getting close to Rashida Jones, who is the legendary Quincy Jones’ daughter. I almost forgot to mention that T.O. also celebrated his birthday recently. As usual there was plenty of H.A.M. to pass around the 40/40 Club.

“Those girls’ dreams are destined to never come true.” - Rich (who is the owner of Winston, BTW)

- Vivica A. Mess needs your prayers. Seriously. Lauryn Hill too.

Honey Baked H.A.M. (I got 1,000 of em)

When my Mama was knocked up with me she was rocking a jheri curl (I had to say that) and had talked my Pops into naming me Sharetha. When I think about that I look towards the heavens and mouth “thank you.” So as you probably gathered Ma Dukes is a big fan of Aretha Franklin so when I emailed her these pictures this morning she quickly replied back saying “she doesn’t have to look sloppy like that.” Word to my mother.
Yet another example that there is life for H.A.M.’s past the age of 50. This shit has got be a joke. I refuse to believe that she let herself walk out the house rocking that. And Patti is my girl and all but she looking kinda suspect too. Control them titties!

Anyway, last week I was emailed a link to a blog titled Bitter Vibes. Peep:

When I got to work Friday morning I wondered why it bothered me that Angie is leaving. When I thought twice about it, I realized she was just as fake as the rest of the people there. Her shameless ass kissing of Mimi was almost worse than Shani and Yani’s. Is that even possible? Do you think Mimi’s ass is sore from the ass kissing?If you could have seen the staff at Angie’s send off. Shameless. Shameless. Shameless. Speaking of Mimi, why does that grown ass woman dress like a man? She is not a bad looking lady but come on now. You are the Editor in Chief of a magazine. Don’t you think you should look clean at least one day out of the week?

Damn homie! I hope whoever the mystery employee is doesn’t get fired. Its just their thoughts and opinions ladies and gentlemen. I never realized that blogs could be so much drama until talking to one of my AIM homies who was fired from a job she had over her online journal. Do you think that companies have the right to do that? Holla back.
