T.I.P. or whatever he is calling himself this week teamed up with Courvoisier to celebrate his forthcoming album T.I. vs T.I.P. last night. With the BET Awards in town all types of random Black folks came through to enjoy the open bar and hot wings show Cliff some love.

Unfortunately Young Dro wasn’t able to attend because he was busy washing cars on the side of Old National Hwy. but maybe we’ll luck up and see him tonight. Hit up Concrete Loop for more flicks.

What’s My Momofuqin’ Name?

What’s My Momofuqin’ Name?

For this I have no words:

Baby Autumn Brown has a name to live up - in fact she has over 25 of them.

The little girl’s mother Maria, in keeping with her boxing-mad family’s bizarre tradition, decided to give her 25 middle names - all culled from the greatest exponents inside the ring.

Her full name, which left register office staff in Perton, Wolverhampton reeling is: Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown.

Maria told the city’s Express and Star: “The whole thing came about because both my mum and dad are obsessed with boxing and have a bit of a daft sense of humour.

“When I was young I couldn’t ever remember my name. It took me to the age of 10 to memorise it all.”

The 33-year-old mother added: “I’m hoping Autumn has a good sense of humour with her name. It’s never done me any harm though.”

Quick, Call Al Sharpton!

Frenchie Davis is alleging that she was the victim of racism by a passenger and flight attendants on Alaska Air. The former American Idol contestant plans to speak about the ordeal at a press conference on Thursday in L.A.

Press release via Eurweb:

The “American Idol” vet was seated by the window at 1:30 p.m. for a scheduled 1:55 p.m. take off on Friday. A man and his son had the seats next to Frenchie, but the boy complained that he didn’t want to sit next to the “big black person,” Davis’ rep says.

The man asked Frenchie to put her armrest down between her and the boy, but Frenchie had already fallen asleep as the plane began to taxi down the runway.

According to her rep, the man “stands up and shakes Frenchie violently saying wake up and put the armrest down right now. She tells him to take his hands off her.”

The man allegedly asked flight attendants to call security because this “big black woman is harassing him,” the rep recounts. She says two flight attendants respond, but don’t bother to ask Frenchie to tell her side of the story. They just demand that she move.

Activist Najee Ali, who came to Davis’ defense during the Antonella Barba-double standard fall out, is slated to speak at the press conference while simultaneously plugging his new line of low carb bean pies. Kidding.

Jesus be another approach to the art of staying relevant without claiming racism.
