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

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

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.”

Diverisity in TV: I could have sworn that there were MORE minorities on TV in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Now that we are in the new millennium, they have seen to turn things around where we are not seen. That's interesting...

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.

I am sick and high off of cold medicine, and even I can catch the atrocious grammar. How about people stop rap feuding and get Hooked on Phonics? They all have the money for private tutors.
