Don’t get the title? Watch 8 Mile the next time it comes on MTV in the middle of the day.

I’ve accidentally done a lot of shit in my life. I can say however for the past 23 years I have managed not to shoot any one else with a gun - - and damn sure not myself.

This muthafucka right here can’t.

Nearly three days after accidentally shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub, Giants receiver Plaxico Burress turned himself in at a New York City police precinct in midtown Manhattan on Monday morning to face charges of criminal possession of a handgun.

At 8 a.m., Burress, escorted by his lawyer, stepped out of a black Cadillac Escalade and walked calmly into the 17th Precinct station house at East 51st Street and Lexington Avenue — three blocks north of the night club where the incident took place — as throngs of onlookers, some of them heckling, and reporters stood behind metal barricades. Dressed in jeans and a white shirt with a collar, Burress did not appear to be limping, and said nothing as he entered the precinct.

His lawyer, Benjamin Branfman, emerged moments later and said Mr. Burress would “deal with the legal process in a responsible and professional manner.”

I won’t bother posting pictures of  Jay-Z and his jockey sitting courtside at last night’s Knicks game since everybody and their Uncle Cholly have beat me to the punch but I do come bearing gifts. Beyonce twerked her creole camel toe on the Today Show this morning. It was a magical experience to say the least.

Chitlins are off the menu. They were keeping my weight up. Chitlins have been canceled off of my list, and I know my fans and friends are screaming ‘Hallelujah!’ I want to be around for a long time, so let’s drop the chitlins.

That side-eye kills me every time. The feverish glare by the old fart in the background of course. Fierce!

Jay-Z and his creole jockey top the annual list of Hollywood’s 20 Top-Earning Couples, compiled by Forbes magazine. They earn a total of $162 million fortune between June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008.

I’m just saying, can Dame and I hold a little something until . . . whenever?

The second top earning couple on the list is Will Smith and his actress wife Jada Pinkett Smith, both of whom bank $85 million, with Will doing most of the earning, taking in $80 million from the success of his  recent movies “I Am Legend,” “The Pursuit of Happyness” and “Hancock.” The Beckhams are ranked 3rd on the list with collective earnings of $58 million.

Country music couple, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, secures the 4th spot, taking in an estimated $35 million between June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008. Behind them there is Hollywood power couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The movie stars and parents of six children bank $34 million together.

Back in the day [read: 2002] Brandy announced she’d secretly wed some music producer no one had ever heard of named Robert Smith the year before - just four months before giving birth to their baby girl, Sy’rai. The happily married couple even fronted for cameras on the MTV series Brandy: A Special Delivery, which documented their daughter’s birth.

After the couple called it quits in 2003, Ol’ Bucky Beaver went running his trap and told a radio station the marriage never happened, much to Mama Sonya’s chagrin.

“I lied because of the fear of what people would think and the pressure to be a good role model,” Norwood, 29, reveals to Us Weekly in her first interview on the topic.

“Our relationship was very real, we just weren’t legally married,” she adds.

Norwood also admits she kept her daughter in the dark about the 2006 multicar collision she was involved in that left a 38-year-old woman dead.

“It was a very tough time, and I still have never talked about it with Sy’rai,” she says. “I had to be a mother and stay strong for her. I’d cry when she’d go to sleep so she wouldn’t see me like that - I had a responsibility to her.” [continue reading]

Its okay Brandy. Everybody who tuned into your little show knew something in the milk wasn’t clean the first time the camera panned in on Robert’s face, we were just waiting on you to confirm.

Greeter at Wal-Mart game proper.

Although hat boy set my window licker radar off like a troop of screeching banshees I was curious to know if what my best friend told me in my pubescent years about boys in special ed having a big peen was true.

If so, I understand the dynamic of the hook up.

Some white people are having an interesting month, no? First “that one” gets elected as our next president then one of BET’s fraggles  shows up at the Country Music Awards to perform with Kid Rock. I bet there was plenty of “Can’t we just have something for ourselves?” textual healing going during this performance.

The last time I peeped Lil’ Zane he was singing in the choir with Beyonce and Angie Stone in the oh so inspiring The Fighting Temptations. After watching one of his videos on demand Blu The Eighties Baby went on a scavenger hunt for more info on dude and came up with these zestalicious flicks.

No comment on son from Moesha.

Diddy used the Promote The Vote Block Party as an excuse to dig deep into his box of dusty Vote or Die t-shirts. Don’t blame him blame Cheri Dennis. She should be held responsible for all things that go awry in the tooth pick crypt.
