You And Grandpappy Can Go To Hell

Posted by Fresh on July 31, 2008

I love the Colbert Report but I can’t get jiggy with this shit. Not one bit.

tk2 You And Grandpappy Can Go To HellLast night, country singer Toby Keith appeared on the Colbert Report to promote his new movie, Beer for My Horses. The movie is based off his song by the same name, which he performed on the show — and whose lyrics promote vigilante-style hangings of anyone considered “wicked” or “evil”:

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see

Max Blumenthal notes that in Keith’s “Grandpappy’s” day, “3,437 African-Americans were lynched in the United States, mostly in the heart of Dixie.” Blumenthal also remarks on the racial undertones in the song’s video; the movie trailer depicts a “Mexican guy” who deals drugs and kidnaps Keith’s character’s girlfriend.

That Ludacris pro-Obama song doesn’t sound so bad after this, huh?

Quick Flicks: Monica’s Reality Show Debut Party

Monica + Keyshia Kickin’ It Monica + Rocko

It’s a wrap on the Monica coverage for the week. I’ve done all I can do! Its up to you to continue to take initiative to track what is going on with her. If her label wants to get any more promotion out of me they are just going to have to cut a check. I’ve posted more about this chick more than I have talked to my Mama on the phone this week, that’s a problem.

Now if somebody can email me video of Frankie spitting over the “A Milli” beat with her wig knocked askew we can talk about Mo all day long. Until then, no.

Hola Hovito! Hola Hovito!

I didn’t see this one coming at all and apparently neither did you! I just knew Vibe had went all Vh1 on us and put Flavor Flav on the cover holding up the number of sexual transmitted diseases he has contracted this year. Well played peeps.

Here’s A Tip — Don’t Ask For One

Posted by Fresh on July 31, 2008

tipdre1 Heres A Tip Dont Ask For One

Don’t blame Andre 3000 for being a tight wad with his wallet, blame this damn recession!

Atlanta waiter Matt Moore claims that he went out of his way to hook Andre up with some vegan dishes after the rapper visited the restaurant he works in — even though it is non-vegan. Apparently, that effort wasn’t enough and Andre decided to complain anyways — getting his bill reduced in the process. At the end of the meal, the low-baller left a $0 tip and walked away. Classy.

What’s a guy to do? eBay! Moore was understandably pissed and threw his story up on the auction site, along with a description of the injustice and the offending receipt. “The chef had tried to please them with original dishes and took time out of the busy dinner to customize a meal for them,” he wrote. “Despite the spot-on service and super-catered food, they felt the need to leave me no money. I had nothing to do with the food, yet he stiffed me.” [source via SR]

I was going to play my role as a stan and defend Three Stacks to the bitter end but this is way past dirty. I’ve been in the food service industry before so I know what if feels like to be short changed when its tip time. I will keep my horror stories of revenge to myself but trust and believe that some servers are not as kind as others. You’ll be surprised at how many actually remember you from your previous visit.

Rosario Dawson Rosario Dawson

Every time a new picture of Rosario Dawson pops up on the front page of an image service I cross my fingers and hope that one will display her eyes in full wonk. I’ve been coming up short lately but I will always have memories. Its only a matter of time before she slips up. I will be waiting in the shadows until then.

Rosario along with Rosie Perez, Dakota Fanning [don't hate] and Luda, excuse me, Christopher Bridges attended the HFPA’s Annual Installation Luncheon on Wednesday night. Rosie should’ve set that bitch off with her dance from “Do The Right Thing.”

Barack Obama supporter Ludacrest is currently being blasted by the presidential hopeful’s campaign for spitting a “outrageously offensive” rhyme about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Republican Sen. John McCain and President Bush on his song “Politics as Usual.”

Armani’s Latest Muse

soloicon Armanis Latest Muse

Being “different” is really paying off for Solange. She has found another way to supplement her wig crypt income by becoming an ambassador for fashion powerhouse Armani’s younger diffusion line, Armani Jeans. Let me hold something then!

“Armani Jeans expresses my vision of a young, independent, casual lifestyle with a strong and cool, fashion sensibility. Solange epitomizes this style perfectly and brings to it that swing so evident in her new single, I Decided,” Giorgio Armani commented on his newest muse. [source]

Girl, you such a fashion icon. She should be able to buy plenty Warhols and whatever other type of artsy fartsy things she likes to collect with that cake.
