Follow Up

Quick Follow-Up

Friday I posted a link to some video footage of some random ass chick from falling off stage. Well my Norweigian (yup you read that right) homie Anja hooked me up with some information on the chick. Her name is Mira Craig. As you can see she is a very attractive young lady…just kinda on the slower side of things if you asked me. Thanks again for the email Anja

C+D viewers are some of the best people in the world I swear.

Anyways, I still don’t know rather to laugh or be concerned. And while I’m here Ciara needs an intervention like right now.

Ladies we’ve all been here before. Its Ladies’ Night at your favorite spot and your right hand is up and the left got a cup. “Yo song” starts to play over the speakers and you head directly to the dance floor singing/rapping the lyrics when all of the sudden some greasy, sweaty, fawn-key ass, ran.dumb nigga starts trying to grind on you from behind. He then whispers in your ear with his hawt bref (yes, bref) “Um guhl, whatchu name is?”

Well T-Pain’s that dude.

Damn.

It’s been a pretty busy weekend for your folk. I’ve been working on a couple of new things for C&D that I will hopefully have up before 2006, but don’t quote me. My schedule is frickin’ ridiculous. I gotta get better at this posting on the weekend thing.

Nelly, Usher, and Monica all came out for Jermaine Dupri’s Hurricane Relief Benefit event in Atlanta last week. Diamonds, champagne, celebrities and boomin’ beats…Jermaine Dupri is in the House! Last night Atlanta lived up to its reputation as being the entertainment Mecca of the South. Homegrown international star Jermaine Dupri showed up with close friends Nelly, Usher and Monica to support a private event for Hurricane Relief at House of Cartier. Invited guests walked a security-clad red carpet and entered House of Cartier which was literally transformed into an exclusive party palace by the legendary Tony Conway - black hanging drapes, passed hor d’voures, Cartier champagne and a thumping DJ made the event a classy, fly-casual affair.

Last time we ran into Al his wifey was giving him one painful looking lap dance. Its nice to see him smiling again. And I think I know why. Guess who else showed up to the party.

Now I respect my elders and all but enough is enough. A picture is worth 1,000 words so I need not say anything. And take Gloria Velez with you.

Finally, Cam’ron is this shit really necessary? I don’t think so. Someone needs to shoot this nigga in the arm again. He better be careful before he dies of OG…over gold! (I know ya’ll remember that from I’m Gonna Git You Sucka)

Now excuse me as I prep to play Santa for mi familia. Since the wrapping paper is thin as heck (dollar store niggas!) I’m going to need to concentrate.

The one-hour long season finale of Making The Band aired last night. Yes gang no longer will we hear “boom, kat, boom, kat kat” on the 10 Spot Thursday nights, cry me a river. On a side note did ya’ll know that Lorrie Ann was a Flyy Girl on In Living Color? I sure as hell didn’t until I saw her dancing around in some acid washed jeans last night on BET. Anyways, instead of complaining about the group of girls he selected I have another bone to pick.

Miss Jones from Hot 97 fame officially pissed me off last night. I know that she is known for her gritty interview style and that Diddy wanted to give the girls a taste of what they would have to endure by people who talk smack about them but my goodness. Jonesy looked like a damn fool when she was about to crack on ol’ girl from New Orleans outfit until she realized that Hurricane Katrina took every thing from he family. Then she tried to flip the script to and started showering the girl with praises. Hoe sit down. Speaking of which . . .

Ah hem. Tyra and all of the girls from this season along with some familiar faces from panel were all at The Avalon out in La La Land to celebrate the season finale of America’s Next Top Model Wednesday night. Coryn (who actually looked like she was born with a vagina!) and Ebony (I’m so glad those braids are gone…it wasn’t a good look) were way more lovely in those flicks than on the show in my opinion. Like I told the Dealer, just because you don’t win the entire competition doesn’t mean a damn thing. Please believe this isn’t the last time we’re going to see any of the girls. Winner or loser the show provided them all with one vital thing, exposure.

Check out what Rich had to say about this whole debacle.

Fresh’s Two Cents

As I watched the video for “Be Without You” last night a light bulb in my head turned on. The media always gives Madonna credit on being the mother of reinvention but never seem to mention Mary J. Blige. Mary has had more hairstyles than a drag queen in Las Vegas over the past decade and a half. With every new album that she drops a new look always accompanies it. I think she has the Material Girl beat. You be the judge. Either way Mary has been too strong for too long to let these new chicks try to even attempt to put their paws on her crown.

Dumbass Fugees Opening Act Gets Dissed By Stage Dive

The Fugeess really love their Norwegian fans. Not only did the band reunite and kick off their world tour in Scandinavia, they also provided some fine comedic relief by the way of one of their opening acts. The nameless chick had delusions of grandeur when she thought the best way to end her set was to take a flying leap off of the stage and land into the arms of her adoring fans. Sadly all the people attending the sold out show were there for the Fugees only, not to catch some no name nobody. Listen closely to the THUD!!! as the crowd parts and then the aarrrggghhh…. as she lands on the cold cement floor- and then the customary laughing as the crowd acknowledges her stupidity. That must have been a really shameful walk back to the artist lounge. Warning: You have to suffer through a few seconds of screaming before the event- Sorry. (via Gossipish.com)

+ Foxy Brown is one crazy bitch and did T-Pain got jacked for his chain?

When I saw that shit right there “Eye of the Tiger” started playing in my head, no shit. Normally when I see funny stuff on the computer I may let out a little chuckle. But when I saw this I grabbed my stomach and started rocking back and fourth like Sophia at the dinner table in The Color Purple. As you can see I added a butterfly (hell he was missing everything but one). You can blame this high quality mess on Es.

Sorry about the late post gang. I was tied up at the last minute.

Jay-Z took a break from his job as Beyonce’s purse watcher and was honored along with Mariah Carey for outstanding work that embodies excellence and intergrity at The Recording Academy Honors last night. Speaking of awards, the nominations for the Grammy’s were announced today. Artists reading nominations this morning included Natasha Bedingfield, Big & Rich, Mariah Carey, Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), Patti LaBelle, John Legend, Carly Simon, Sway (I’m not putting his name in bold, sorry), and CeCe Winans. Kanye West and Mariah Carey (surprise surprise) topped list with eight nominations while 50 Cent, Beyonce, and Alicia Keys received six nominations each. Ludacris, Mario, John Legend, Common, T.I., Ying Yang Twins, Destiny’s Child, Yolonda Adams, and Stevie Wonder are just a few of the many artist who were also nominated.

Of course I have a beef with a few of the nominees, one especially being The Black Eyed Peas who were nominated for the song “Don’t Phunk With My Heart” in the Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group category. What in the hell have the people at the Academy been smoking? They might as well put that fucking “Humps” song on there. At any rate the show will air Wednesday, Feb. 8 on CBS.

Click here for the full nomination list.

- Rod tipped me off this morning that in the new issue of Complex magazine Usher denies gay rumors in his cover story interview. When asked if any homosexual activities went down in those oh so famous orgies everyone’s heard about Usher had this to say:

There was women-on-women but never man-on-man. Shit, nowhere near that! Hell no! No one that I ever roll with or would ever roll with would get down like that.

Yeah fuckin’ right! Rod breaks it down so damn good about everything from anal action to relationship rumors with a trainer in ATL that I’m not going to even going to attempt to put my own twist on it. Lets just say that I was left clutching my pearls like Miss Jay.

- Ashanti has been making moves like Lil’ Kim before her trip to the big house. Murder Inc’s first lady has taken a break from performing at Bat Mitvahs to promote her new CD. She’s been popping up every place from 106 and Park to Regis and Kelly. Yesterday she appeared on TRL along with Dip Set enthusiast Lindsay Lohan. Shanti then partied the night away with pal Ja Rule, that kid from The Ultimate Hustler who looks like Shock G, and T-Pain. No comment on any of the aforementioned.

Busta Rhymes also made an appearance on TRL looking sick. Not the good sick but the “you got some ‘Tussin I can borrow” sick.

- The beautiful and talented Angela Bassett along with her actor hubby Courtney B. Vance is expecting twins (a girl and a boy) next month via a surrogate mother. Bassett told Essence magazine “I thought I would have the option to bear children in my forties as long as I was healthy and took care of myself, but I don’t. My body decided what it was going to do. I was unable to carry, but there are other ways you can have children.”

- Naomi Campbell whispered in Chris Tucker’s ear and told him some shit he didn’t want to hear.

- There’s a lot of recording going on at the Brown household. Bobby Brown, wife Whitney Houston and their kids are all recording albums of their own, according to Bobby, who simply described his effort as taking it back to the top. “My sound is Bobby Brown, I don’t change for nobody.” (mtv.com)

- Billbored? Hardly. Damn I love Rich.

- Finally, someone please tell Mariah to give it up already. Every time you turn around this woman is trying to exude sexiness but ends up looking like a damn fool in the process. (via Socialite Life spotted by Mr. Irreverent) Also be sure to check out D. Penn’s tribute to Mariah, a tragic mulatto.

Oh yeah I haven’t peeped the season finale of ANTM yet but I’ve heard the news. I have no words.

‘If I Don’t Win Album Of The Year I’m Gonna Have A Problem’

Last night I played double dutch with my remote with BET and Fox as I attempted to watch The Ultimate Hustler and the Billboard Awards simultaneously. I wasn’t able to dedicate as much time on Fox but I did catch a few moments that left me with the gas face.

- Uncle Ciara isn’t as dope as people make her out to be. Without a doubt one of the most overrated artists in 2005. I think she did look nice though.

- Gwen Stefani rocked the crowd with her temporary ghetto pass dangling from her neck along with Slim Thug, who looked we.tall.did as usual. Needless to say the performance was not luxurious like Egyptian cotton.

- Kanye’s acceptance speech started off as a heartfelt speech about his 90 year old Grandmother and quickly turned into another egotistical rant. But hey that’s what we’ve come to expect out of him.

- Fresh from his national anthem (you gotta see that shit for yourself) performance, R.Kelly slow wined with some young ladies and then performed his Hurricane Katrina single at the end of the show. The icing on the cake was when he put his lighter up. You would’ve thought Richard Pryor was on the screen the way I bursted out laughing.

Anyways, The Ultimate Hustler has become my Tuesday main staple. As much shit as I may pop about Dame (mostly his wife) I must say that his antics are very entertaining to follow. Ray was booted from the show and I wasn’t shocked at all. His rude, lying ways finally did him in. The season finale will air next week and the Ultimate Hustler will be announced.
