Rumor Control

There is a rumor buzzing around the internet that Mysterious (aka Psycho Bitch 3000) from the original season of Making The Band is pregnant. “Who in the blue hell is tapping that?” you might ask. From what I heard it was apparently Aaron Hall. Hell to the nah! Say it ain’t so! Rumor or truth the fact remains that this shit is just wrong.

Beyonce White Washed?

Beyonce Knowles, who appears on the cover of this month’s Vanity Fair, is the first African-American woman to front the glossy since Tina Turner flashed her gams in 1993. But is she too black for Graydon Carter? Publishing insiders have been whispering about the cover girls strangely pale visage ever since the November issue hit newsstands. Now, a high-level source at Vanity Fair is alleging that the mag digitally altered Beyonce’s image to appear several shades lighter. African-American entertainers have long complained about being ignored by mainstream magazines, which often avoid covers featuring black celebrities for fear that they will underperform on newsstands. Vanity Fair, which has drawn some of the sharpest criticism, has has not featured a solo black person on its cover since the late nineties, when it showcased Michael Jordan, Will Smith, and a clown-faced Chris Rock. (continue)

In my opinion I don’t think she appears any lighter than normal but my beef with Vanity is why did they put her on the cover of a hip hop issue? Beyonce ain’t hip hop! (Sorry I couldn’t help it. I’m still on my Making The Band kick. Remember that episode when they’re were giving Sara a hard time?)

Keyshia ~~Troll~~ Cole Clears The Air

Keyshia sat down with Angie Martinez’s non-rapping ass for an interview on October 7 . In the interview the two discussed her problem with Lil’ Mo (there is none, but very interesting to hear Keyshia’s side), the Kanye West tour, and how she and Ciara are the only two new girls doing their thing. Um, WTF? Bitch you just went gold. I’m not saying Uncle Ciara is better vocally (cause I personally think Keyshia has got her beat) but that girl is double platinum.

NBA Player Jason Collier Passes Away

Atlanta Hawks center Jason Collier died Saturday morning, possibly of cardiac arrest, the team said. He was 28. Hawks spokesman Arthur Triche said no other details immediately were available and did not say where Collier was when he died.The 7-foot, 260-pound Collier, a five-year NBA player, spent his first three seasons with Houston before joining Atlanta in 2003. He averaged 5.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in his career. Collier played for Georgia Tech and was drafted by Milwaukee in the first round, with the 15th pick overall, in the 2000 NBA draft.

Kanye Must Go Through Tons of Lotion

Kanye West was left red-faced recently when his mother Donda discovered how much money he spends on pornography. The star loves the close working relationship he has developed with his mum since their college days but admits constantly having her at his side can sometimes be embarrassing. He says, “I was an English major and she (mother) was head of the department. Now she is my manager, and that can be tricky sometimes. She’s like: ‘Kanye, did you spend $500 at the porn store?’ Come on, get the fuck out of here! I’m 28 years old and I have to explain to my mother?”

As Sly As A Fox

Whatever aroma Foxy Brown is exuding should be bottled and sold. Last Friday, she had the gang at P.M. abuzz when she canoodled, cavorted and then sped away with supermodel Tyson Beckford. On Tuesday, she was back at the Haitian-themed lounge — this time locking lips with NBA hunk Chris Webber. And who was sitting in the adjacent banquette with Kimora Lee Simmons trying to avert his eyes? None other than Tyson Beckford! Also on hand: Queen Latifah, Busta Rhymes, Wyclef Jean with fellow Haitian Garcelle Beauvais, and A.J. Calloway celebrating his birthday.
