Cut Above The Rest

Lil\' Rocko + His Entourage

A dapper Lil’ Rock [sporting a fresh new cut] was photographed hanging out at L’ermitage Hotel this past weekend in Los Angeles his mama and little brother Romello. He may be trying to shed his harden image but you can tell he is still scheming and believing by the look in his eyes. I wonder if his homie Kang will be the next in line for the barber’s chair.

News Break

Believe it or not but there is someone who has been on vacation to the pokey more times than DMX and Bobby Brown combined.

Henry “James Brown” Earl, 58 of Lexington, KY has been arrested a record 1,000 times. Henry Earl marked his 1,000th arrest on the charge of alcohol intoxication on Tuesday, September 23, 2008.

A standing ovation is in order.

Police arrested Henry Earl for alcohol intoxication, a charge he’s faced hundreds of times before.

Earl is a pseudo-celebrity because of his extensive record. He’s been featured on late night talk shows and has several websites dedicated to tracking his arrest record.

Earl’s 1,000th arrest happened late Monday night on South Limestone. He’ll be in court Tuesday afternoon to answer to this latest charge.

If you’re wondering what 1,000 arrests equals, here’s a look at Henry Earl’s history.

In all, he’s spent 4,123 days in jail.

35 of his 1000 arrests have been this year alone, landing him behind bars 189 days in 2008.

On average, Earl is out of jail about two days before he lands back behind bars, although this time he was out for four days before his latest arrest. [source]

I Know A Rent Party When I See It

If the first picture doesn’t look like two lost characters from the Waiting To Exhale then put Cousin Angie’s fire engine red lipstick on Al Reynolds and call her Sarah Palin. On a brighter note, LisaRaye was the first celeb name Gucci Mane dropped on “Go Head.” Add that to you list of achievements girl!

First Lady Diamond has been pressing on, ya’ll. She celebrated her birthday last night by holding a benefit for Hurricane Ike victims.

Oh you didn’t know? That’s the brand new code for rent + grocery money party. I plan on holding a “benefit” my damn self before the end of the month.

Star Tracks: Jada Pinkett Smith

Jada Pinkett Smith Jada Pinkett Smith Jada Pinkett Smith

The razzi photographed Jada Pinkett Smith outside the ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ studios looking all shiny and new on yesterday. While I love the glammed up Mrs. Smith I’ve been missing the psycho bitch from Wicked Wisdom version for quite sometime now. I understand that the “girl hand me a bat so I can bite its head off” swag isn’t exactly easy for some folks to get jiggy with but it was far more entertaining than Hollywood Jada in my opinion.

I’m Just Saying . . .

Aunt Viv

I love Aunt Viv just as much as you do but I’ll be damned if she doesn’t look like one of those ads for Fashion Fair cosmetics that appears in Jet magazine. On a more positive note I’m glad that she hasn’t resorted back to slanging ass in exchange for relevancy. That’s never good.
