LOL @ bronze. The silicone is taking its' toll. Kim was quoted in Us magazine as saying that she's the reason women want fake boobs now. I was like WTF?? :confused: :rolleyes:

Re: Re: Re: Tidbits from Sister 2 Sister
 

Wow that is so untrue. Even people who do want fake boobs don't want them to look like hers.

There ARE surgeons out there who can do implants that look something close to reality. Hers are so big it doens't look like a breast, it just looks like a brown implant glued to her chest.

I think a remix of Magic Stick with Trina would be hot. Kim, you lose at life.

50 Cent Wanted For Questioning In Connection With Shots Fired At Hotel

Police in Jersey City, New Jersey, want 50 Cent and the people who were traveling with him early Tuesday morning to turn themselves in for questioning about shots that were fired at a hotel around midnight Monday night.

According to police, not long after 50 and members of his crew stepped inside the Doubletree Hotel in Jersey City, shots were fired. Police investigating the crime scene don't know what type of guns were used, but they found 10 shell casings from two different caliber of bullets in front of the hotel and 200 feet away from the Doubletree in a tire shop, the window of which was shattered by a bullet.

A hotel surveillance camera caught the entire incident on tape, officers said. Police are analyzing the footage to determine if someone was firing on 50 and company and if the rapper's associates fired as well. Police do not know at this point if anyone was injured.

Eyewitnesses told police that after the incident, 50 was whisked away in his SUV.

Police are giving 50 Cent five days to turn himself in before they issue a warrant for his arrest. 50's rep said the rapper is now in Los Angeles shooting the video for the G-Unit single "Stunt 101" (see "50 Cent, G-Unit Plan To Make Fans Beg For Mercy On New LP").

I also heard yesterday that Vivica Fox is reportedly getting death threats for dating 50 cent. :eek:

Nelly's Pimp Juice Threatened By Anti-Pimp Campaign

Nelly's Pimp Juice Threatened By Anti-Pimp Campaign

"As black men we should be building a nation of strong black leaders, not a nation of superenergized, drunk pimps." — Minister Paul Scott, founder of the Messianic Afrikan Nation


Nelly's Pimp Juice is not in stores yet, and some leaders of black organizations want to keep it that way.

Project Islamic Hope, the National Alliance for Positive Action, and the National Black Anti-Defamation League want to keep the rapper's energy drink off store shelves in Los Angeles. Leaders of the three organizations staged a press conference in South Central Los Angeles Tuesday (September 9) to make their feelings about the energy drink and the word that inspired its name known (see "Taste Nelly's Pimp Juice — No Backstage Pass Necessary").

"We're calling for a national boycott of Nelly's Pimp Juice," said Najee Ali, Executive Director of Project Islamic Hope. "We feel betrayed by Nelly. He's someone who's trying to make money by using and marketing an energy drink that's supposed to be healthy. But there's nothing healthy about using the name pimp. It's a vile name that's really demeaning and insulting to women."

The groups are first starting their anti-pimp campaign in their own community by contacting the Korean Grocers Association, an organization to which most delis and convenience stores in the South Central area belong, and asking them not to carry the drink.

"We want to make sure that we chase Nelly's Pimp Juice out of our community," Ali said. "We're not going to allow it. We know Pimp Juice won't be sold in Beverly Hills. I doubt very seriously whether the white community will embrace and promote a brand called Pimp Juice in their stores."

Despite the local focus, their cause has already garnered national interest. Wire services have picked up the story. The Reverend Al Sharpton has been contacted.

Although not part of the press conference, Minister Paul Scott, founder of the Messianic Afrikan Nation in Durham, North Carolina, was one of the first to speak out against the drink, with special emphasis aimed at the suggestion made in the product's press release, that Nelly's Pimp Juice "mixes perfectly with numerous vodkas."

"The black community is in danger right now," he said in a statement. "As black men we should be building a nation of strong black leaders, not a nation of superenergized, drunk pimps."

Nelly's spokesperson did not return calls by press time.

Why the police want to question 50, I don't understand. Were members of his crew firing shots back?? Someone please make some sense of this. :confused: :confused:

I agree, Trina would set it off. LMAO @ that last comment.

Re: Re: 50 Cent Wanted For Questioning In Connection With Shots Fired At Hotel
 

Well, they would want to question him as a witness even his crew did not return fire. Because he was the target, anything he saw or heard could be relevant and make him a material winess whom they can subpoena or issue a warrant for in order to get him to come in. Also, it does sound as though there is a chance that he or his crew returned fire.

Re: Re: Re: 50 Cent Wanted For Questioning In Connection With Shots Fired At Hotel
 

Come to think of it, I won't be surprised if I heard that his crew members fired back. I think 50 would roll with folks who are ready to set if off when necessary. :o

Thanks Kimmie!! :)

The child's name is Nina Polaris X Larkins. I like Nina, but I could have done w/o the middle names.

That's great news for her. I didn't even know she was "in the family way."

I still miss her on the Russ Parr Show. My frat, Lazee Lamont, tries to hold it down, but it just ain't the same without O. Fox doing the horoscopes (sp?).

Re: Olivia Fox' babyperson
 

I agree, she could have done without the other names. Also that baby has really long fingers.

Yeah Alfredus (what the hell type of name is that) SUCKS!! I miss Olivia!!! BADLY!!!

Never knew that Lazee is an Alpha. :cool:

What I want to know is...what in the hell does the X stand for?!!

R.I.P. John Ritter and Johnny Cash
 

TV Star John Ritter Dies of Heart Problem
Sep 12, 6:54 AM EST

John Ritter, whose portrayal of the bumbling but lovable Jack Tripper helped make the madcap comedy series "Three's Company" a smash hit in the 1970s, has died of a heart problem, his publicist said Friday. He was 54.

Ritter fell ill Thursday on the set of his ABC sitcom "8 Simple Rules ... For Dating My Teenage Daughter," said Susan Wilcox, his assistant of 22 years.

The cause of death was a dissection of the aorta, the result of an unrecognized flaw in his heart, said his publicist, Lisa Kasteler.

Ritter died at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center shortly after 10 p.m. Thursday.

Ritter, a Southern California native who lived in Beverly Hills, came to prominence for his role in "Three's Company" and had appeared in more than 25 television movies and a number of films.

Ritter, who would have turned 55 on Wednesday, made a successful return to sitcom acting with "8 Simple Rules" last year, and the ABC show was scheduled to begin its second season on Sept. 23.

At the Burbank hospital where he died, Ritter was accompanied by producers and co-workers, his wife, Amy Yasbeck, and 23-year-old son Jason, Wilcox said. He is survived by three other children, Carly, Tyler and Stella.

"It's just stunning, unbelievable," said Wilcox. "Everybody loved John Ritter. Everybody loved working with him. ... Whatever set he was working on, he made it a very fun place."

ABC released a statement saying: "All of us at ABC, Touchstone Television and The Walt Disney Company are shocked and heartbroken at the terrible news of John's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and children at this very difficult time."

Ritter was the youngest son of Western film star and country musician Tex Ritter. He graduated from Hollywood High School and earned a degree in drama from the University of Southern California.

Ritter appeared in more than 50 plays nationwide and won critical acclaim for his recent nine-month role in the Broadway premiere of Neil Simon's "The Dinner Party."

He received an Emmy and other awards for his "Three's Company" role and was honored by the Los Angeles Music Center in June with a lifetime achievement award.

Music Legend Johnny Cash Dies at 71
Sep 12, 6:58 AM EST

Johnny Cash, "The Man in Black" who became a towering figure in American music with such hits as "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line," and "A Boy Named Sue," died Friday. He was 71.

"Johnny died due to complications from diabetes, which resulted in respiratory failure," Cash's manager, Lou Robin, said in a statement issued by Baptist Hospital in Nashville.

He said Cash died at the hospital at 1 a.m. EDT.

"I hope that friends and fans of Johnny will pray for the Cash family to find comfort during this very difficult time," Robin said.

Cash had been released from the hospital Wednesday after a two-week stay for treatment of an unspecified stomach ailment. The illness caused him to miss last month's MTV Music awards, where he had been nominated in seven categories.

Cash had battled a disease of the nervous system, autonomic neuropathy, and pneumonia in recent years.

Dozens of hit records like "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line," and "Sunday Morning Coming Down" defined Cash's persona: a haunted, dignified, resilient spokesman for the working man and downtrodden.

Cash's deeply lined face fit well with his unsteady voice, which was limited in range but used to great effect to sing about prisoners, heartaches, and tales of everyday life. He wrote much of his own material, and was among the first to record the songs of Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson.

"One Piece at a Time" was about an assembly line worker who built a car out of parts stolen from his factory. "A Boy Named Sue" was a comical story of a father who gives his son a girl's name to make him tough. "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" told of the drunken death of an American Indian soldier who helped raised the American flag at Iwo Jima during World War II, but returned to harsh racism in America.

Cash said in his 1997 autobiography "Cash" that he tried to speak for "voices that were ignored or even suppressed in the entertainment media, not to mention the political and educational establishments."

Cash's career spanned generations, with each finding something of value in his simple records, many of which used his trademark rockabilly rhythm.

Cash was a peer of Elvis Presley when rock 'n' roll was born in Memphis in the 1950s, and he scored hits like "Cry! Cry! Cry!" during that era. He had a longtime friendship and recorded with Dylan, who has cited Cash as a major influence.

He won 11 Grammys — most recently in 2003, when "Give My Love To Rose" earned him honors as best male country vocal performance — and numerous Country Music Association awards. He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980 and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.

His second wife, June Carter Cash, and daughter Roseanne Cash also were successful singers. June Carter Cash, who co-wrote Cash's hit "Ring of Fire" and partnered with her husband in hits such as "Jackson," died in May.

The late 1960s and '70s were Cash's peak commercial years, and he was host of his own ABC variety show from 1969-71. In later years, he was part of the Highwayman supergroup with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kristofferson.

In the 1990s, he found a new artistic life recording with rap and hard rock producer Rick Rubin on the label American Recordings. And he was back on the charts in with the 2002 album "American IV: the Man Comes Around."

Most recently, Cash was recognized for his cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt" with seven nominations at last month's MTV Video Music Awards. He had hoped to attend the event but couldn't because of his hospital stay. The video won for best cinematography.

He also wrote books including two autobiographies, and acted in films and television shows.

In his 1971 hit "Man in Black," Cash said his black clothing symbolized the downtrodden people in the world. Cash had been "The Man in Black" since he joined the Grand Ole Opry at age 25.

"Everybody was wearing rhinestones, all those sparkle clothes and cowboy boots," he said in 1986. "I decided to wear a black shirt and pants and see if I could get by with it. I did and I've worn black clothes ever since."

John R. Cash was born Feb. 26, 1932, in Kingsland, Ark., one of seven children. When he was 12, his 14-year-old brother and hero, Jack, died after an accident while sawing oak trees into fence posts. The tragedy had a lasting impact on Cash, and he later pointed to it as a possible reason his music was frequently melancholy.

He worked as a custodian and enlisted in the Air Force, learning guitar while stationed in Germany, before launching his music career after his 1954 discharge.

"All through the Air Force, I was so lonely for those three years," Cash told The Associated Press during a 1996 interview. "If I couldn't have sung all those old country songs, I don't think I could have made it."

Cash launched his career in Memphis, performing on radio station KWEM. He auditioned with Sun Records, ultimately recording the single "Hey Porter," which became a hit.

Sun Records also launched the careers of Presley, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and others.

"Folsom Prison Blues," went to No. 4 on the country charts in 1956, and featured Cash's most famous couplet: "I shot a man in Reno/ just to watch him die."

Cash recorded theme albums celebrating the railroads and the Old West, and decrying the mistreatment of American Indians. Two of his most popular albums were recorded live at prisons. Along the way he notched 14 No. 1 country music hits.

Because of Cash's frequent performances in prisons and his rowdy lifestyle early in his career, many people wrongly thought he had served prison time. He never did, though he battled addictions to pills on and off throughout his life.

He blamed fame for his vulnerability to drug addiction.

"When I was a kid, I always knew I'd sing on the radio someday. I never thought about fame until it started happening to me," he said in 1988. "Then it was hard to handle. That's why I turned to pills."

He credited June Carter Cash, whom he married in 1968, with helping him stay off drugs, though he had several relapses over the years and was treated at the Betty Ford Center in California in 1984.

June Carter Cash was the daughter of country music great Mother Maybelle Carter, and the mother of singer Carlene Carter, whose father was country singer Carl Smith. Together, June Carter and Cash had one child, John Carter Cash. He is a musician and producer.

Singer Rosanne Cash is Johnny Cash's daughter from his first marriage, to Vivian Liberto. Their other three children were Kathleen, Cindy and Tara. They divorced in 1966.

In March 1998, Cash made headlines when his California-based record company, American Recordings, took out an advertisement in the music trade magazine Billboard. The full-page ad celebrated Cash's 1998 Grammy award for best country album for "Unchained." The ad showed an enraged-looking Cash in his younger years making an obscene gesture to sarcastically illustrate his thanks to country radio stations and "the country music establishment in Nashville," which he felt had unfairly cast him aside.

Jennings, a close friend, once said of Cash: "He's been like a brother to me. He's one of the greatest people in the world."

Cash once credited his mother, Carrie Rivers Cash, with encouraging him to pursue a singing career.

"My mother told me to keep on singing, and that kept me working through the cotton fields. She said God has his hand on you. You'll be singing for the world someday."

Cash lived in Hendersonville, Tenn., just outside of Nashville. He also had a home in Jamaica.

Condolences to the families...

I've never been a C & W music fan, but always followed J. Cash, since he made a low-budget movie at my high school back in 1981? "The Pride of Jesse Hallam." You know, it's the movie you can't ever get at Blockbuster cause it's always rented out (smile). In the track & field scene, Jesse (Cash) is in the bleachers watching his son race. I'm sitting two people over from Cash in the stands.


And the Oscar in the category for best extra in a track and field scene goes to....

I am a big John Ritter fan. It totally shocked me when I found out. Imus was talkining about it but I thought he was talking about Tex Ritter because he was talking about Country & Western.


I was sorta expecting Johnny Cash because June just recently passed and they were very close. Working with seniors I have personally experienced on spouse dying and the other dying soon after.

:o
NOT JACK TRIPPER! :o OHHHHHHHHH MY GOOOOOOODNESSSSS!

:o

This is sad. I'm sorry to hear about Johnny Cash, too.

I think Jack ( I mean John :o ) was related to Tex. :confused:

What's going on with my girl, NIA LONG?
