The Critter...Oops, I meant the Carter wanted mo money mo money. So I guess "GO DJ" means "Go Def Jam"! What will they think of next!

Re: Re: This is Love!
 

I think it was stupid. But, I just thought it was such a grand gesture. I like stuff like that...in theory.

Yeah they announced that Regis Philbin will fill in for him....it just won't be the same.

I have a questions, but I figured people would go here the most to see the news topics......

Has anyone seen the Destiny's Child video for Soldier? My question is at the end of the video where they are all around Salonge and rubbing her stocmach....who is that guy that is rubbing her stomach. I can't remember what the husband she had for a minute looks like, but I know he had more hair, which this could be him with a hair cut, but it is driving me crazy everytime I see this video....so if anyone knows who it is...please note it here.....THANKS:D

It's her husband with a haircut. :)

...is that their final answer? :p

No, seriously, props to Dick Clark (ST, is this his gub'ment name?) who has held down the New Year's eve gig for like 116 years. Dude, get your head right and get ready to ring in 00000006!!!! <------that right there is gon be a heck of a year, ya know?

Really, thanks for clearing that up, because I was hoping that they weren't just having any ole guy rub on her stomach.

See, there you go.:p

Vince Carter is going to be a daddy
 

Raptors star Carter and wife Ellen Rucker expecting first child

Mon Dec 13,11:40 AM ET

TORONTO (CP) - Vince Carter (news) is going to be a dad.
The Toronto Raptors star guard/forward and wife Ellen Rucker are expecting their first child, Carter's spokesperson Jeff Scott confirmed Monday. The baby is due in early June.
Carter and Rucker, a chiropractor and his college sweetheart at North Carolina, were married July 3 in Palm Beach, Fla. Carter and Rucker had initially parted company after university but reunited at the wedding of Washington Wizards star Antawn Jamison (news), Carter's good friend and former teammate with the Tar Heels. Jamison married Rucker's younger sister Ione.
Carter spent his second straight game on the Raptors' injured list when the team hosted the Miami Heat on Sunday. Carter has a strained left Achilles tendon and must sit out another three games.


Here's a pic of VC and Ellen (top and bottom left), plus who I believe are Antawn Jamison and Ione Rucker, AJ's wife.

JILL SCOTT TALKS ABOUT HER RAPE IN ‘S2S’: Exclusive Interview Featured In Jan. Issue.
 

*From trauma to triumph, the soulful Jill Scott shares in an exclusive interview with “Sister 2 Sister” (S2S) publisher Jamie Foster Brown how an on-again off-again love affair turned tragically into rape.

“He attacked me,” she says of the ordeal. “I mean, I’m down for getting buck wild just like anybody else, but this wasn’t that. It was ripping my clothes off, me saying, ‘Wait! No! Don’t! Stop! What are you doing?! Don’t do that!’”

Scott also remembers, torn tights and all, “… smiling on the way home thinking
he wants me so bad that he had to do what he did. That’s what I thought because I loved him and I wanted him to love me back.”

Loon Leaves Bad Boy
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/149...headlines=true

EXCERPT: "I definitely want people to know that this was amicable," Loon said. "It's both beautiful and empowering to see that Puff can be the bigger man."

According to Loon, who released his self-titled Bad Boy debut in 2003, he simply wanted more attention.

"Being that [Puff] has so much going on, I didn't want to be the nagging artist," he said. "I was happy for all his success, but I was at a crossroads as an artist. I wanted to put forth the same effort for myself that I was putting forth for Bad Boy. So he allowed me the opportunity to go out and be a budding entrepreneur and be my own man.




Nelly v. Chingy

A few weeks back, Chingy said he was offended by comments Nelly made on his Sweat song "Another One," and now Nelly has some advice for Chingy: Don't be hurt, just take the lyrics as a word to the wise and show some respect.

"I like the way you do that right thurr/ Just remember when you do that right thurr/ I made it tight to be country/ They thought country was bummy/ Till country start making money," Nelly raps on the track.

"I wasn't going at him. If you listen to the song, it says, 'I like the way you do that right thurr.' I could have said, 'F--- the way you do that right thurr!' It ain't even like that," Nelly said on Friday in Los Angeles. "I'm not trying to be in it with duke like that. I just feel I paid so much respect to other people that allowed me to come do what I do, I just feel people should pay the same respect [to me] when they do what they do. Don't act like your getting on didn't have nothing to do with everything [myself and the St. Lunatics] have been able to accomplish. I took you on tour with me before."

Funnily enough, Nelly said, in spite of their back and forth, Chingy recently contacted him about hitting the road together. It doesn't look too likely.

"To hear some of the things he's saying, like that he's been doing this just as long as me and I just got my break first and all this and all that," Nelly lamented, referring to Chingy's remarks in the December issue of XXL. "I'm like, 'Listen, it ain't even this type of issue. Don't say things like that.' He don't even realize how his words can get blown outta context. There's people who want to see us get into it.

"You've got to watch what you're saying, unless you mean what you're sayings, then that's cool too," he added. "But don't do all that and then turn around and say you wanna go on tour with me. Don't do all that. Don't go that route. Be serious with whatever you're doing. I don't know where it is with him."

As for who Nelly actually will take on tour with him, that's still up in the air. The St. Lunatics are a lock, but besides them he's waiting to see. There have been talks with plenty of his peers, Lil Jon and T.I. among them, but nothing is definite. Nelly doesn't even know what type of venues he'll be hitting up. The big question is, does he go with his heart or with his wallet?

"I like the smaller venues for some reason," he said. "The 3,000-, 2,500-seaters where the people are right there and the music sounds louder and it feels like mutha----as is right there on top of you. Those are the ones I like better than the big joints. I know there's a lot of sponsors out there saying, 'No, no, no!' And probably a lot of the people around me, 'cause the money ain't as big, but it ain't even about that for me."

Life on the road, or at least heading out on the road, is the plot for Nelly's new video with Tim McGraw, "Over and Over." Recently wrapped, Nelly's part was shot in St. Louis, while McGraw filmed his scenes in Nashville. Each of the performers goes through his own personal hell while waiting for his love to holla back.

"I finished that joint up, we split-screened it with him on one side and me on the other side," Nelly explained. "He's in his element, I'm in my element. We're showing how everything still happens the same. It's a regular day, us waking up, we're waiting on a phone call we never seem to get. From the start of the day from when we wake up, we both gotta take these flights. We wanna squash this thing before we get on the flight. We never get the calls we was looking for and before you know it, pimp, we're gone."

Despite his work with McGraw, Nelly said his favorite country record of all time is "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers. Fittingly, one of the biggest gambles of Nelly's career — putting out two album, Sweat and Suit, on the same day — is continuing to pay off with sales and now a Grammy nomination.

"I didn't know, but I figured that Suit probably would be [the bigger seller] because it would probably be an album that appealed to fans that listened to more than rap and hip-hop," the master of country grammar said. And as he predicted, that is indeed the case.

Calvin Broadus and Eldrick Woods
 

At an event, switching up their standard gear.:eek:

http://i.timeinc.net/people/i/2004/0...227/twoods.jpg

Tiger looks comfy. LOL

I don't see where the "look" is different for snoop. I guess that fishing hat looks a lil funny. :D

Tiger looks like he ready to switch to the Smack a H** tribe. He looks oddly more attractive.:confused: :confused: :o

^^
See, Eldrick simply looks odd to me in the chinchilla and the porkpie hat.

for real, huh? LOL

not like that!! LOL
He just looks more aesthetically pleasing to my eyes. I don't notice his overbite and see that he has a pretty smile.

Thinkin the same thing....
 

*exactly*

Tiger looks like he is saying through clencjed teeth " Hurry the heck up and take this picture so I can end this misery".

*the rumor always was that CT4 was 'bout that thug-luv. I guess we just consider this confirmation now.* :cool:

See, you know, you not right. I want to clown. I really do. **sigh**

I'm going to go listen to that Ginuwine song about JEANS!:o

Re: Calvin Broadus and Eldrick Woods
 

WTF is going on? When did Tiger start hanging with Snoop. Next thing we know Bishop Magic Don Juan will be on the golf course with his cup.

and yes...he does look more attractive in his thug get up. Guess it's a matter of preference.

How come everyone is leaving Bad Boy?? Who's left besides Dream and Mase?

New Edition
Babs
Ness

Puff is doing too much -- fashion, restaurants, acting, Vote or Die, etc.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :)

Wow! Is New Edition leaving already? That is messed up if they are! They just signed the contract like 20 minutes ago. As for Babs and Ness...I sort of seen it coming. It was obvious...maybe we will have a reunion of DA BAND? But alls well that ends well and oh hayle give me back my bell.

Meka

:confused:

I don't think CT4 meant they were leaving. They are the only ones still on the label.

I think he needs to start grooming someone to replace him. Like to help run all the stuff he has going on. Because Bad Boy use to be a pretty decent label...
