Gary Payton arrested on DUI charges: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...bkn_payton_dui

GP is having issues. I'm not sure why you'd back down an on ramp NEAR an accident cause there HAVE to be police around. And how you gonna threaten to retire instead of play of a team? That little whiny so and so. It ain't like they traded him to the worst team in the league (ie Toronto or some such place--I still love my baby but they suck).

Kelly Rowland's Marriage Proposal
 

BEYONCE HELPS BREW PLAN FOR ROWLAND'S ENGAGEMENT SURPRISE

Beyonce Knowles was far from surprised to learn her pal Kelly Rowland got engaged to football ace Roy Williams -- because she cooked up an elaborate plan to ensure the event ran smoothly.

The singer and her boyfriend Jay-Z planned a May 10 party at the rapper's New York City hot-spot 40/40 Club under the guise of celebrating the first day of shooting anticipated movie "The Pink Panther."

At the appointed time, Beyonce had her mother Tina Knowles pretend to faint. When Kelly rushed to her side, Tina asked to be led to a private VIP room so she could sit down. But when Kelly opened the door, she found the room filled with rose petals and candles -- and her boyfriend of about six months waiting inside, where he dropped to one knee and popped the big question.

An eyewitness says, "Kelly was shocked."

Jay-Z was also in on the plan. He helped pick the 6-carat, round-cut engagement ring and even calmed Dallas Cowboys safety Williams before the proposal.

The source tells Us Weekly, "Roy's hands were shaking so badly! He doesn't drink, but Jay made him have three shots."

The happy couple have yet to set a date for their nuptials.

That's really nice!:)

LMAO!!!

according to supa cindy:

Congressional Black Caucus wives apparently don't see anything wrong with a little "Bump n' Grind."

A minor controversy broke out Friday when some members of the Congressional Black Caucus objected to legally challenged R&B singer R. Kelly as the entertainment for a Washington, D.C., fundraiser.


CBC spouses are responsible for tapping the talent for the annual fundraising event.


The beleaguered Kelly, free on bond since being hit with 21 counts of child pornography-related offenses in 2002, is still awaiting trial in his hometown of Chicago. Seven of the initial 21 charges against the "Ignition" singer have been dismissed, and he has vehemently denied the allegations, but he's hardly regarded as a model citizen for his sex-tape antics.


"I would not have invited R. Kelly," Congressman William Jefferson, a Louisiana Democrat and CBC Foundation chairman, told the Associated Press Friday. Other CBC members "worry that it will overshadow the event," he said.


But not everyone saw Kelly's presence at the fundraiser as such a big deal.


"We're sorry William Jefferson feels that way," Allan Mayer, a Kelly spokesman, told E! Online Friday. "But the fact is, in this country, people are innocent until proven guilty."


For his part, Kelly said he was simply "privileged and honored to be invited to help such a distinguished group raise money for such a worthy cause." The charity event helped raise money for young urban professionals seeking scholarships to further their education. "I can't think of anything more important to support than education," said Kelly in a Jive Records press release Thursday.


Despite the criticism over his appearance, the singer performed for a crowd of around 2,000 Friday night at the Washington Convention Center.


Kelly's legal woes over the last few years certainly haven't hurt his record sales. The Grammy-winning singer's last two releases, The Chocolate Factory and the just released Happy People/U Saved Me, peaked at number one and two, respectively, on the Billboard 200. Kelly has sold more than 30 million records worldwide since his first release, Born in the 1990s, in 1992.


Next up for Kelly is one of the most anticipated tours of the fall--his Best of Both Worlds tour with hip-hop heavy Jay-Z. Kelly had to ask a judge for permission to go on the road with Jay-Z, and was cleared to do so earlier this summer. Kelly and Jay-Z will hit 40 cities on the tour, which bows in Chicago Sept. 29.

Re: humm
 

How about not many people of color can AFFORD to go and sit up in Oprah's audience. Most of us have to be at the j-o-b!!! :(

Y'all I just watched that happen on her show. It was unbeleivable. A brand new ride for each of them. People were screaming and crying and shaking. They had EMS on scene in case any one fainted. I saw several sistas in the audience but I wasn't counitng or anything.

I just saw the show too. The story about the homeless girl was touching. She was so pretty. I was like "I know good and well Oprah is not going to give her a make over and send her back to the streets." It was a nice story.
