lamar hurd Could Lamar Hurd Be The First Black Bachelor Lead?

Portland-based sports commentator and entrepreneur Lamar Hurd is lobbying to become the first non-white lead for ‘The Bachelor.’ I mean, its only a reality show, not an application for a bank loan. Brother may have a shot.

“It all started when I was at Tammy’s house [my assistant], and we’re having a barbeque,” explained the Oregon native in his audition video. “She’s there with her sisters, her son, the whole family’s there. And I see some chuckling going on at the end of the table wondering what it is. I didn’t make too much of it cause they’re always cracking jokes. One of her sisters blurted out, ‘Tammy, you’ve been trying to get Lamar on the bachelor?’ So of course I looked down the table to try to see what’s really going on. And come to find out, she’s been trying to get me on.”

flav0 Flavor Flav Brings His Fried Chicken To Las VegasThere are two things in this world Flavor Flav can’t ever seem to get enough of: unprotected sex and fried chicken.

Hip hop’s own version of Mr. Hanky put Minny Jackson to shame on Thursday (March 15) as he showed off his “less platter” technique at the Las Vegas grand opening of Flavor Flav House of Flavor.

Sidenote: The famous hypeman’s chicken shack business partner is entrepreneur Farrah Gray, who made his first million by the time he was 14.

For the first time in decades, the white substance on his knuckles wasn’t crack residue or ash — it was flour.

Flav, 52, tells Bloomberg Businessweek that he hopes one day to give fast food giants like Kentucky Fried Chicken a run for their money.

“My FFC is going to be a chain. That’s going to be a franchise. House of Flavor is just one restaurant. I’m trying to do as good as the next big chain of chicken restaurants, like KFC or Popeye’s,” Flav said.

“Not outdo them, but I want to have a long-lasting business so if anything happens to me, my family could be secure.”

usher africa1 Usher Travels To South Africa But Cant Escape Legal DramaThe man partly responsible for unleashing Bieber Fever on the masses embarked on a wild adventure with friend producer Rico Love before rocking the Hansa Festival of Legends at Orlando Stadium in Soweto  in South Africa on Sunday (March 11).

According to TMZ reports, in documents filed earlier this month, 33-year-old Usher claims that his ex-wife Tameka Raymond has consistently defied court orders and filed frivolous motions, like the one trying to force him to take a drug test, and is refusing to pay $50,000 to cover her legal costs as the two trade legal shots in their fight for custody of their two children.

Usher claims he’s already forked over $25,000 to her attorneys, shouldering the brunt of the financial burdens associated with this case and feels Tameka’s actions “directly harm the best interests of the minor children. Clearly, such actions should not be tolerated, much less rewarded.”

lance gross Star Tracks: Lance Gross Promotes His New Movie At The 2012 SXSW Film FestivalDirector Matthew Cherry’s indie flick ‘The Last Fall’ made its debut at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival as apart of the Emerging Visions category this week.

Described as a coming of age sports drama, the movie stars Lance Gross as Kyle Bishop, a struggling NFL player left with few career options after being cut by his team. Nicole Beharie, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Keith David, and Harry Lennix Jr. round out the film’s cast.

“This story isn’t really told a lot because when people think of an NFL player, they think that they’re in financial freedom when that’s not the case,” Gross told Global Grind. “So Kyle was one of the players who was basically scraping the bottom of the barrel.”

“So he has to return home to everybody and tell them he’s been cut. He doesn’t know where his career’s gonna go. When he heads home he reunites with his high school sweetheart, so he’s trying to work that out and overcome his obstacles.”
