DARRYL "DMC" MCDANIELS of RUN-DMC is paying tribute to the LATE JAM MASTER JAY with the song "I'm Missing My Friend" on his new solo album called “Checks, Thugs And Rock N Roll.” He says, “I ain't talking about him being my DJ. I'm talking about stuff like how he taught me to swim, how he used to sit and do crossword puzzles while we was hanging, a lot of stuff people didn't know about him. That's the legacy I want to leave for him." Proceeds from the song will be donated to Jay’s family. DMC also expects an all-star Jam Master Jay tribute album to ! be recorded next year.

FOXY BROWN completely denies a story that has been broadcast on radio and television stating that she’s pregnant. She says, “ “I’ve been spending so much time in the studio lately, I can’t even entertain the thought of having a child. There has been a false report for the past several months that I’m pregnant. I just want my fans to know that I am focused on delivering my best album ever, one that will show different sides of me both creatively and spiritually.” Foxy’s fourth CD will be released early next year.

The members of Destiny’s Child haven’t said a whole lot about the stormy departure and lawsuit filed by ex-members LeToya and LaTavia. But D-Child singer Kelly Rowland will reportedly break the silence in an exclusive interview in the January issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine. LeToya and LaTavia sued Destiny’s Child claiming that the song “Survivor” dissed them and violated a confidentiality agreement signed after they left the group. Kelly had this to say to Sister 2 Sister: “We waited five years for a record deal, now $9 million in album sales later we are still here... Wherever LeToya and LaTavia are, I want to wish them the best of health and may God bless you.”

In a cover story for the January issue of Allure magazine, Mariah Carey says that even though she had a sexy image when she first hit the music scene at age 18, she was definitely not a freak. Mariah said, quote: "A lot of girls I knew were sexually active, but I wasn't. I was apprehensive due to what I'd seen, like teenage pregnancy. I may have walked around in tight-a--- clothing, but that's where it ended. [In my work] I've never done anything lewd."

Eminem’s grandmother is confirming what the tabloids have been saying – Slim Shady and his ex-wife, Kim Mathers, are back together. Betty Kresin tells the New York Post that Kim has moved back into Eminem’s crib in suburban Detroit. Mrs. Kresin also said, quote: “I think Marshall is very happy about it. He loves Kim and Hailie [their daughter], and Kim is the mother of his child. Marshall is a terrific father and very family-oriented. I'm not surprised he'd want that stability."

Oprah Winfrey donated $10 million to a school for girls being built by Nelson Mandela in South Africa. The academy will open in January 2005 and will take 450 girls aged 12 to 18, most of them from poor communities. Oprah stated, quote: “We are looking for strong, brave girls with heart. I believe girls are going to take over the world. Men have been in control long enough, but don’t worry, we’re prepared to share power.”

Samuel L. Jackson and Laurence Fishburne are among the 100 celebrities who signed a letter urging President Bush not to wage war against Iraq. The letter was organized by actor / activist Mike Farrell (the former “MASH” star who’s not featured on NBC’s “Providence”). Farrell is co-founder of a new group called "Artists United To Win Without War." A few of the other stars who signed the letter are Ethan Hawke, Kim Basinger and Martin Sheen. Retired U.S. Navy admiral Eugene Carroll, Jr. and Former U.S. ambassador to Iraq Edward Peck also put their John Hancocks on the! letter.

Now I heard that Kim had moved back in with her ex, but I heard that she also moved in with another man's child. Word is she got pregnant while they were apart, and brought additional baggage with the move back in.

Janet had to pay a pretty penny to get rid of her husband of nine years, Renee got 15 million dollars, their 8 million dollar Malibu beachfront home and a Mercedes SL600.

Going for the cycle

Robin Williams admits he's "bike-sexual." :rolleyes:

Williams and star athletes, including tennis queen Serena Williams, the Yankees' Derek Jeter (pretty-boy) and Roger Clemens, and Olympic skater Apolo Anton Ohno turned out at Tao for the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year awards Tuesday to honor cyclist Lance Armstrong.

"He's an incredible athlete," Jeter told us. "I admire his work for cancer. We've had to face that on the team, you know - Joe Torre faced prostate cancer."

Serena Williams turned heads in a black dress and white fur stole. Her namesake said he was excited about her reported acting ambitions.

[/B]"I'd love to be in a movie with her, she's so sexy," Robin told us. "I love watching her on TV. My wife says, 'What are you doing?' and I say, 'Oh, nothing, just watching some tennis.'"[/B] :eek:

Later, Clemens escorted a gaggle of Hooters waitresses to Spa, where he was joined by Jeter and Lance Bass in the VIP section. The group danced, or should we say bounced, together until 5 a.m.

An addendum on Nicole Richie: Why doesn't that girl get a job or something? She's not Paris or Nicky Hilton, who have all that hotel caiche' to glom off. :rolleyes:

CTFU!! CTFU!! CTFU!!

I have to say, I'm :o that I didn't know about Halle and Wesley! OUT OF THE LOOP!!!

Why would Dexter King title his book Growing Up King when Ilyasah Shabazz's book is titled Growing up X?

Boyz II Men will not be the same with only 3 people. They need that sexy deep voice!!

I'm not interested in Will and Soror Jada's TV show.

Neither did I. I always thought it was a boyfriend before she got famous.

I didn't know this either?:confused: Did they meet back on the set of Jungle Fever?

Wow, I thought everyone knew that it was Wesley who made Halle deaf in one ear. Hmm, so I guess Christopher is giving new news huh? At first it was hush hush and Wesley was mentioned as "an old boyfriend" but it came to light years later. I don't know how they met though. When Wesley speaks about black women and not wanting to date us I say THANK YOU Wesley. Black women worldwide appreciates your change of heart with your rusty a$$. :rolleyes:

Really, especially if he's slapping women around like he got a problem! :mad:

Please Wesley is nothing to be proud of. Lawd knows he is doing me and all of my wonderful sisters a favor. Kids would be coming out all ashy and scaling looking. First thing the doctor would do is hand the mama a bottle of crisco and tell her to feed the lil ashy mu'fluker later!:D :p

Now....that was wrong!






**but I laughed anyway:D !
