Re: the lesbian in Total...
 

Might be, I don't know which is which.

At least we have eliminated the girl with long hair, lol.

Right.

See, back then I just KNEW the darker one (with the short) hair was a lesbian because she had "that look". She is very masculine. Then, I "found out" that it was the other one with the short hair that was supposedly tutti fruitti. I was really, really :eek: becuase I thought it was the darker one.

Even though there isn't anything wrong with a person's prefererence if they are gay/lesbian... I'm not down with it.

Beyonce & Sean Paul
 

Sean Paul isn't letting the heat from his Dutty Rock album cool down. The dancehall star has just finished tracking the song "Baby Boy" with Beyoncé Knowles for the Destiny's Child singer's first solo album, Dangerously in Love, due on May 20.

"I've been a fan of her work for a long time," Sean Paul said while taking a break from recording the song in a Miami studio on Thursday night. "She expressed to me that she's been listening to a lot of my music. She wrote a great song."

Knowles has just a few more weeks of recording left on the album, according to a Columbia Records spokesperson.

Based on Sean Paul's description, the mid-tempo track is a sequel of sorts to " '03 Bonnie & Clyde," Beyoncé's recent hit duet with Jay-Z. "She's telling me about her fantasies and picturing me and her going here and there, all over the world," Paul said. "I'm answering back, like, 'I'm wit it.' " The track was produced by Scott Storch (Christina Aguilera, Dr. Dre), who co-wrote it with Beyoncé.

Weary from a full day of studio time, Sean Paul attempted to sing a few lines of the song a cappella. "Telling me all about the thing that you would fantasize/ I know you dig the way me step on all this track/ Baby girl I listen to ya ..."

"That's it, man," he said with a laugh after a few more attempts at the hook. "I can't remember no more right now."

Among the 20 songs recorded for the album so far are tracks with Missy Elliott and Luther Vandross, according to Beyoncé's manager and father, Mathew Knowles (see "Beyonce Working It With Missy Elliott On Solo Album"). Within the next two weeks, Beyoncé is scheduled to hit the studio to record with Jay-Z, P. Diddy and the Neptunes, he said. No more than 14 tracks will end up on the finished album, so it is currently unclear which of the collaborations will make the final cut.

"[Fans] will see a vocal edge of Beyoncé [on the album] that they have not seen in Destiny's Child," Matthew Knowles said. "This is a pure R&B record."

In addition, Knowles said a bonus DVD will be packaged with the initial pressing of the album. It will feature some live performance footage as well as in-the-studio clips shot during the making of the LP.

While Beyoncé is slated to record a duet with Aretha Franklin for the soul legend's upcoming studio album, Sean Paul is keeping up his torrid pace as well. The dancehall don recently tracked a song with 112 for their upcoming album, and he joined hip-hop legends De La Soul on "Shoomp," slated to appear on their next record.

Just makin it clear huh regulatah? ;) :p :D

yup.

I just don't feel like quotin' right now. About Omar and Sanaa. I KNEW that mess would not last. The month before their little romance was announced, he did an article in VIBE where he SAID he had problems being faithful, and wasn't ready for a real relationship. And I didn't think that was no four years ago, neither. Is time really flying like that? I'ma hafta check the date on that VIBE, cuz I know I still have it. :)

I LOVE MUSIQ!!! I LOVE MUSIQ!!!! That's all. :)

Alicia should try Proactiv. :p

Sean Paul has been a fan of Beyonce's work for a long time? Exactly how long is a long time? Is a long time relative? Cuz I can't really say she's been famous for a long time. I guess it's relative. I try to hate on her, lol, but I do like the song she has on Missy's CD. I tried not to like it, too.

Afrochic, I'm with you on the Jay-Z tip. Whatever. :rolleyes:

I remember that article as well. I was disenchanted with him after that, but just hoped for the best. Kind of sad that Sanaa did not "listen" to his words. That would have been back in 99 because The Wood came out in 99.

Dat's all right Sanaa, just keep on rising to the top.

I know one thing...I will hunt she down and kill 'er slowly if she try get wit' me man!

Dixie Chicks criticized for exercising free speech!

Lawmakers: Chicks Should Do Free Concert

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina House members say the Dixie Chicks should apologize for lead singer Natalie Maines' criticism of President Bush by performing a free concert for troops.

Republican state Rep. Catherine Ceips introduced a resolution Wednesday calling for the country music trio to perform for South Carolina troops and their families.

Maines, speaking about President Bush's push for military action against Iraq, told a London audience last week, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

Radio stations nationwide are boycotting the Dixie Chicks even though Maines, a native of Lubbock, Texas, has publicly apologized.

Cindi Berger, the Dixie Chicks' publicist, had no comment on the resolution, which passed the House on a 50-35 vote and left some lawmakers angry and others confused.

"I think it's an olive branch to the Dixie Chicks," Ceips said.

"But only after they apologize first for exercising their free speech, is that correct?" asked House Minority Leader James Smith, a Democrat.

The Dixie Chicks have been in Europe promoting their recent release "Home," which won a Grammy last month for best country album.

I don't know...you be the judge!!!

911 Tape: Williams' Brother Claims Suicide

By KATHY HENNESSY
Associated Press Writer

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- The brother of former NBA star Jayson Williams told a police dispatcher that a limousine driver shot himself, according to a newspaper's account of the 911 tape released Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, a state appeals court ordered the release of the 911 tape, made after the Feb. 14, 2002 shooting at Williams' home.

Williams, 35, is charged with first-degree manslaughter and other offenses in the death of driver Costas Christofi. Williams, who is accused of shooting Christofi and then trying to make it look like a suicide, could face nearly 55 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

Attorneys for the Courier News of Bridgewater sought the tape, arguing that it should be released under the state's open records law. But the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office contended that releasing the tapes would make it difficult to pick a jury.

On the tape, Williams' brother, Victor, implored the dispatcher to send an ambulance.

"This man has just got shot, he picked up a gun that was loaded and it shot him," he said, according to the Courier News. Authorities have said Victor Williams was not present at the time of the shooting.

According to the newspaper, background voices were audible on the unedited tape. At one point, someone demanded that Victor Williams tell the dispatcher to send help immediately.

Judy Smith, a spokeswoman for Jayson Williams, said 16-minute call shows the "pandemonium and chaos surrounding the event."

"The call, which was made immediately after the accidental shooting, clearly demonstrates the concern that Jayson Williams and others had for Mr. Christofi and the desperate attempt they made to get him immediate medical assistance," Smith said.

The appeals court judges said New Jersey's Supreme Court has long held that extreme pretrial publicity does not prevent an impartial jury. The unanimous decision also said the state's recently adopted open public records law applied to criminal proceedings.

"The fact that media coverage may make it more difficult to select and impanel a fair and impartial jury is not a basis to deny access to government records," the court ruled.

James Flachsenhaar, executive editor of the Courier News, said the newspaper was pleased the court established a precedent regarding the state's new open records law.

"Their ruling embodies the law as we understood it in the first place," Flachsenhaar said.

First Assistant Hunterdon County Prosecutor Steven C. Lember said state prosecutors decided against fighting the ruling, but he refused to immediately release the tape to other media.

At the trial, prosecutors plan to play an "enhanced" version of the tape, on which background voices can clearly be heard.

The 6-foot-10 Williams was among the NBA's best rebounders when leg injuries led to his retirement from the New Jersey Nets in 2000. After the shooting, he was suspended from his job as an NBA analyst for NBC.

No trial date has been set. An arraignment was scheduled for Thursday.
