Good God. Why is Vivica going the Whitless route, dating thug-esque singers?:rolleyes: Does she actually think this will give her street cred? Please.

Now that I think about it, I heard earlier this summer that 50 was rolling with Mya.

It was on the morning news this morning here in Detroit.

I heard the same thing. But I never heard anything else about it so I don't know. :confused:

http://www.kurts-smilies.de/kopfkratz2.gif


Also, Mya and "Half a Dollar" both denied that they are a couple...They stated that they are on the same record label and just friends.

Steeltrap, what I want to know is why in the hell does she want street cred?!!:eek:

I agree totally, and honestly that picture doesn't even look like her to tell you the truth.

Plus the fact if they really had a problem with her weight why did they continue to keep her on???

I don't think they forgot the fact that she did practice law. Maybe that's why they kept her on. :confused:

LABEL LEAVES LOOSE ENDS: Aaliyah’s funeral bill still unpaid.
 

Aug. 28, 2003) *As the beautiful songbird rests in peace, there’s drama brewing at her record label. Two years after Aaliyah’s untimely death in a Bahamas plane crash, the funeral company that shipped Aaliyah and the other eight victims home have yet to be paid, according to reports by the New York Post.
Butlers Funeral Home director, Loretta Turner, has stated that there is an outstanding debt of $70,000, which was to be paid based upon a verbal agreement with Virgin Records.

"Virgin has reneged on everything," Turner said.

Aaliyah’s record label has given statements in the past that the promises were made by two executives that are no longer with the record label.

Ja Hooks Up With Ving Rhames
 

Ja Rule Joins Rhames' Film Gang




Ving Rhames and rapper-actor Ja Rule will star in the indie feature "Back in the Day" for writer-director James Hunter. The film is slated to start production next month in Puerto Rico. The project is about a man (Ja Rule) from the right side of the tracks who does a favor for an old friend (Rhames) mired in gang activity. After doing so, Rule's character gets caught up in a situation beyond his control. Joe Morton also stars as a minister whose death sets the rest of the events into motion.

Rhames is in production on Universal Pictures' "Dawn of the Dead." Ja Rule, meanwhile, has been added to the cast of Miramax Films' "Shall We Dance?" opposite Jennifer Lopez. The duo have previously collaborated on such songs as "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny."

Rule's previous credits include "Half Past Dead," "The Fast and the Furious" and "Turn It Up." He next appears in "Scary Movie 3." The rapper has recently teamed with Murder Inc. head honcho Irv Gotti to form a new clothing line, ErvingGeoffrey (Rule's real name is Jeffrey, Gotti's is Irving).

Is anyone watching the VMA Preshow? Vivica and 50 were together. Can't wait until the pics are up so you can see what she's wearing. :eek:

Inside Scoop.....
 

Okay, not really, but close to it.

She was at the VMAs with him, but not looking as classy as we are use to.

He looked nice though.

That's So Raven . . .
 

That Raven, she's so busy
1 hour, 4 minutes ago Add Entertainment - USA TODAY to My Yahoo!

By Cesar G. Soriano, USA TODAY

It's not every day that you become the tween queen of television.

"It's crazy! I love it. I'm really enjoying myself, so it's cool," says Raven, the 17-year-old star of the Disney Channel comedy That's So Raven.


With the departure of Lizzie Maguire star Hilary Duff (news), the actress formerly known as Raven-Symone is now the top cheese at the kids' cable network. And Raven is spreading her wings:


The Cheetah Girls, a Disney original movie starring Raven as a singer in an all-girl band, premiered Aug. 15 with some of the best ratings ever for the network. The musical is in reruns.


That's SoRaven, about a girl who can see into the future just enough to get her into trouble, is now filming its second season. It's one of the highest-rated shows among "tween" viewers, ages 9 to 14. The show airs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 7 p.m. ET/PT, with new episodes premiering Oct. 3. On Sept. 20, Disney-owned ABC will begin airing Raven reruns on its Saturday lineup at 10:30 a.m. ET/9:30 a.m. PT.


Raven will soon begin filming her first starring role in a feature film, Disney's All-American Girl. She also has been cast in the lead role for a Warner Bros. remake of Sparkle, about a Supremes-like group of singing sisters.


The singer/actress, who recorded her first album at age 5, will release a new album next year on Disney's Buena Vista records. She also sings the Raven theme song, contributes to the show's upcoming soundtrack and performs on the Cheetah Girls soundtrack.


On Sept. 7, Raven will perform the national anthem at the White House for the "Tee Ball on the South Lawn" game and picnic hosted by President Bush (news - web sites) and his wife, Laura.


The Atlanta native has been acting since she was in diapers. Before now, she was best known as the precocious 3-year-old Olivia on Bill Cosby (news)'s show, a role she barely remembers. "It's so foggy. But I do remember the smells, how the set smelled, how Mr. Cosby smelled."


After that came roles on Hangin' With Mr. Cooper and two Dr. Dolittle movies.


Raven also shares a bit of TV history. With the January premiere of That's So Raven, she became one of the few African-American actress to have her real name in a show title. That, along with the show's physical slapstick style of comedy, has led to media comparisons with I Love Lucy star Lucille Ball (news).


"I'm honored to be in that category. Wow. I can kind of see it, but that's a BIG name. When I'm acting, I try not to think about it. I'm just trying to be me.


"Hopefully everybody enjoys my work. Hopefully I'll stay grounded, and hopefully it doesn't backfire," says Raven. "If I did change, my family and friends would kick my butt!"


With Hollywood calling, she juggles reading movie scripts with reading textbooks. The home-schooled student graduates from high school next month. The accomplished cook would like to attend culinary school someday. And she still tries to maintain some semblance of a normal teenager's life.


"When I'm back in Atlanta with my friends, we shop, we chill, we flirt," says Raven. She declines to say whom she's flirting with. "Oh, that's personal. I have to keep something to myself!"

RADIO INTERVIEW TURNS VIOLENT: Jaheim takes the low road.


Jaheim
(Aug. 29, 2003) *We've already told you how he recently showed out at a Miami beauty pageant, but now he's following in the footsteps of Whitney Houston and giving a new meaning to "gettin' ghetto on the radio."
The DJ Sway team at New York's WQHT (Hot 97) are probably still picking up equipment and scratching their heads wondering what the heezy?

Jaheim, who appeared on the radio show Tuesday, became infuriated when he was asked by Jimmy Marr if he was "a homosexual" during the interview. He responded by asking Marr the same question and then he really went off.

According to the Sway team, Jaheim and his ghetto posse verbally attacked Marr and "busted up" the studio, breaking microphones and equipment.

"It was like the opening of 'Saving Private Ryan,'" Sway stated. "Fat Man Scoop said we should rename our show The Fight Club."

Station program director, Tracy Cloherty, downplayed the incident by stating that it wasn't that bad.

"There were all kinds of rumors, like someone got stabbed," Cloherty explained. "All that happened was the guest didn't like a question and threw some stuff around. That's really it."

Uh, Tracy, we don't know if anyone's told you, but that's not supposed to happen.

Bobby Brown Uses His Get Out of Jail For Free Card
 

Bobby Brown's Model Behavior?!?
50 minutes ago Add Entertainment - E! Online to My Yahoo!


By Marcus Errico

Citizens of Georgia, beware--Bobby Brown is back on the streets. :eek:


The trouble-prone singer was sprung from an Atlanta-area jail Friday, out a week early for--get this--good behavior. :eek: :rolleyes:


Before Brown put the bars behind him, though, he had to make good for a November traffic stop, paying around $1,400 in fines for marijuana possession, speeding and driving without a license or insurance.


The fines were levied by Atanta Chief City Court Judge Calvin Graves after Brown pleaded guilty to driving without a license and speeding, and no contest to the pot and no-insurance charges. All were misdemeanors.


Judge Graves called Brown, appearing in the traffic court in leg shackles, a good role model with a "wonderful wife." That judge must be smoking that CHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Brown was less than a model driver when he was pulled over by Atlanta cops on November 7 for doing 52 in a 35 mph zone. A search of his car turned up a small amount of weed.


Brown appeared in the traffic court with his lawyer, but "wonderful wife" Whitney Houston, who made something of scene during Brown's court appearance earlier this week, was a no-show. HMMMMMMMMMMMMM :rolleyes:


Brown was arrested on August 22 while dining with Houston at a seafood restaurant near their home in suburban Alpharetta. He had been wanted for over a month for failing complete his probation from a misdemeanor drunken-driving conviction last January. A fellow diner tipped off police.


During a hearing Wednesday in DeKalb County Court, Brown was sentenced to nine more days in jail for a total of 14. But he was let out early Friday morning--after serving seven days--for being, yes, a model inmate. (Sense a theme here?) At the Wednesday hearing, Houston arrived late and was admonished by a bailiff after taking a cell-phone call.


The former New Edition crooner has not quite settled all scores with the state of Georgia. As part of his sentence on the probation-violation charge, he still must serve 60 days of house arrest, complete an alcohol-treatment program and finish 40 hours of community service.

That is TOO funny!

ROFLMBAO :D

Teachers were preparing to boycott St.Louis Public Schools,due to the districts refusual to give them a raise and the many job cuts.Also parents were talking about keeping their children home for the first day of school.This is to show their support for teachers in the chaos that has been caused by the contracted team,from New York,has been called in to fix the school districts problems:eek: :confused:

- If any of you have been watching the news,you have probably heard about the many school closings in St.Louis.Well,I am a part of the St.Louis Public School District,luckily,my school will NOT be closing.Unfortunately,a lot of teachers who have built their lives on teaching will be loosing their jobs.I aspire to be a Secondary Teacher and things like this somewhat discouarge me from my goals.I look at this situation and I say to myself that it is only going to get worse.I am asking you all to please pray for those in authority over the St.Louis Public School District,as well as,the teachers,parents,and students.

The artist, known as Katrina Laverne Taylor, was performing early Friday at Club Dynasty when the assailant persuaded a hotel employee to give him a key to the artist's rooms, police said.


Property stolen at the Greenville Hilton included jewelry, clothes, promotional items and music equipment, according to authorities. No arrests had been made as of Saturday.


"Sixteen years in the business and this has never happened," said Mike Hopkins, Trina's actual manager.


The hotel's general manager, Rhesa Tucker, denied Hopkins' claims that a roster of entourage members was available to hotel employees.


Trina's best-selling album, "Diamond Princess," was released last year.

Jagged Edge member wanted
 

By ERIC STIRGUS
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

DeKalb County sheriff's deputies are looking for a member of the platinum-selling R & B group Jagged Edge after they said they found two guns, 13 pounds of marijuana and about $6,000 in his home.

Deputies searched singer Kyle Norman's home, located near the Indian Creek MARTA station, on Thursday morning and reported finding the drugs, cash and the weapons, a .9-mm handgun and an InterTec .45-caliber handgun.

Deputies arrested seven men who were inside the home but could not find Norman, 27.

"We want him to know that we are looking for him," said sheriff's spokeswoman Mikki Jones.

The Grammy-nominated group has released three albums, each of which sold at least 1 million copies. The group's hits include "Let's Get Married" and "Where The Party At."

The group's next album, "Hard," is scheduled for an October release, according to the group's Web site.

Sheriff's officials ask anyone with information about Norman's whereabouts to call 404-298-8200.

P. Diddy and members of Da Band recently shot a music video for "Bad Boy This, Bad Boy That" (the group's first single) at a community college in New Jersey. The video, which has members dressed as a baseball team cheering each other on will debut on MTV's Making the Video on Sept. 16th. Da Band's album is scheduled to be released on Sept. 30th.

But does the group still consist of the original 6 room/group mates?

"XXX2" Gets Green Light

Movie bosses have announced a sequel to hit VIN DIESEL movie XXX will be made - even though they're struggling to find a director for the film. ROB COHEN, who directed the original, has right of first refusal, but the movie-maker's plans to make COLUMBIA PICTURES' STEALTH may prevent him from taking on the job. Hollywood insiders believe the reins will likely go to LEE TAMAHORI, who is currently in discussions with studio chiefs to direct the sequel, now titled XXX2.

Should Tamahori come aboard the project, it would mark the New Zealander's third franchise after directing the most recent installment of the JAMES BOND series, DIE ANOTHER DAY, and ALONG CAME A SPIDER, based on the best-selling book series by JAMES PATTERSON. (TN/WNWCHR)

Goodness knows I think Vin is fine as all get out, but does this movie REALLLLLLY need a sequel? :confused: :rolleyes:

Converse to pay tribute to HBGLO's
 

I read in VIBE that Converse is planning to release sneakers that pay tribute to eight of the nine HBGLO's. Each pair will be in the signature colors of the organization. Along with the short blurb regarding the sneakers was a picture of the sneakers for Alpha Kappa Alpha and Phi Beta Sigma.

Re: Converse to pay tribute to HBGLO's
 

Hmm, I wonder will Converse be donating a portion of the money from the sales of these shoes to each HBGLO's philanthrophy? ;)

Re: Re: Converse to pay tribute to HBGLO's
 

I'll have to read it again to see. I don't think that was mentioned though.

Greek Freak
 

In the latest edition of Vibe, with OUTKAST on the cover, Converse states that they are giving props to seven national black fraternities and sororities by releasing their classic basketball sneakers "the Weapon" and "Pro Leather" in each organizations official colors accented with the group's founding date on the heel. The shoes will make a limited appearance beginning October 1. The advertisement also stated "just in time to stomp them at the homecoming step shows." Alpha Kappa Alpha and Phi Beta Sigma colors are shown on the shoes located on page 100. What do you think about this?

what? no chuck taylor's?
 

Hmm. Interesting. I remember when there was the special edition Air Force One's for APhiA (although I don't think that was an official release, but more like one person's creativity). Since Nike bought Converse, I can see how they're capitalizing off what became very popular (the Black and Old Gold Air Force Ones).
