DST Love,

Yes, I do! We've talked about Jim before in another thread. I heard Jim talking about Mike v. Lennox, but he didn't do the Mike Tyson voice when he was giving the take.

Okay, I thought that was you but I was too lazy to do a search to be sure !! Jim had me dyin' when he was talking about it today, as well as when he was talking about the Vargas-de la Hoya press conference/fight last week.

The Vargas-de la Hoya was another classic meltdown. Fernando loathes Oscar, thinks Oscar isn't a "real" Chicano.

Remember Lennox and Hassim Rahman (sp?) getting into a fight because Hassim said that Lennox' actions were "gay." Lennox is very touchy about his sexuality.

Mariah Carey's label, EMI (Virgin Records), has bought out her contract and paid her $28 million to cancel her contract. There seems to be a little confusion as to who claims to have cancelled who. Mariah's publicists say that it was her doing; EMI says they are the ones that cancelled the contract.

Anyway, here's the link to the full story:

Interesting but long article about how they got married...

This appeared on the NPHC listserv. It's from the Associated Press:

YONKERS -- A man was charged with felonious assault after he allegedly threw a pit bull dog at a police officer and then barricaded himself in his house.

Acting Police Chief William McCafferty said a woman called police after she and her husband fought and he left the house. She asked that officers be there when her husband returned.

McCafferty said Earl Simmons (DMX's real name), 31, confronted the officers when he came home and kicked in the door. His wife waited outside with police as Simmons threatened them with his two pit bulls.

He said an officer was backing away from the house and slipped on some ice. Simmons then picked up one of the dogs and allegedly threw it at the officer. The dog came toward the officer, who fired at it, scaring it away.

McCafferty said Simmons barricaded himself in the house and began to weep and pray out loud but emerged a half-hour later. No one was injured.

ROFLMBAO. I think at one time DMX owned many more pit bulls. My sister owns a 10-year-old pit bull that weighs about 100 pounds.
I just can't imagine anybody throwing a dog that big.

Actually maybe he needs to start taking some drugs, I heard a while ago that he was diagnosed as a manic, if that's true some lithium will help his chemical imbalance.

The lateth on Mike Tyson.

Tuesday January 29 7:12 PM ET

Nevada Board Denies Tyson License
LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Nevada State Athletic Commissioners on Tuesday denied troubled boxer Mike Tyson a license to fight world champion Lennox Lewis, barring the lucrative April bout from Las Vegas.

The five-member panel voted 4 to 1 to deny a state license to the notorious heavyweight after considering his record of violence inside and outside the ring.

The vote came after a last-minute attempt by Tyson to withdraw his application when it became clear that the commission was ready to reject it. The commission declined to let Tyson withdraw his bid for a license.

The panel's action opened the way for a search for an alternate venue for the championship fight, which the World Boxing Council has said it would sanction outside Nevada.

Tyson, 36, who sat through the hearing in a light gray suit and faced tough questioning from the panel, needed to convince at least three of the commissioners that he deserved a chance to fight again in the state despite his latest bout of wild behavior.

I read in US entertainment that a petition is being passed around to get Beyonce Knowles and Britney Spears booted from the next adventure of Austin Powers called "Goldmember". A gossip columnist told a local morning show here that Beyonce flubs her lines so much, people start making arangements for things to do because they know she will have to make many, many takes before she finally gets it right.

Sources say that the Washington, DC club scene is becoming one to watch. Insiders say that Mike "The Press Conference Killer" Tyson is looking to buy a club in the Chocolate City really soon. Apparently Mike has been looking at buildings and is very interested in getting into the club business. Sources also say that Baltimore Raven Ray Lewis and Washington Redskin Lavar Arrington are also looking to build a club. The two athletes are apparently looking to open a club in the Landover, MD area.

There is so much going on in the record industry that I thought I would clear a few things up. Everyone knows about Mariah Carey’s situation with Virgin Records. In the words of N’Sync, Mariah is "Gone," but at least she’s walking away with almost $49 million according to her representatives. Virgin has also dropped their R&B group Ideal. The quartet came on the scene in June of 2000 with their gold-certified self-titled album that featured songs like "Whatever" and "Get Gone." Apparently Virgin has told the guys to do like their song says and "get gone!" Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes protégés Blaque are seeking a new record deal. The group is no longer on Columbia Records despite having a platinum self-titled first album and a hit movie "Bring It On" under their belt. They have an album cut called "Release Me" and apparently Columbia decided to oblige. Reports that Kevon Edmonds signed with Arista Records is false. The singer had reported inked a deal with Arista after RCA s! hut down its black music division, but that is not so. Currently, Kevon does not have a deal, and sources say that his former group After 7 is considering getting back together. Def Jam has just signed 3rd Storee. The group was formerly signed to Tracy Edmond’s Yab Yum label and was distributed through Elektra Records. Look for new music from them this year. Kim Burrell said that rumors of her leaving Tommy Boy Gospel and going to Elektra are not true. Burrell said she is happy at Tommy Boy Gospel and does not know how the rumors of a move to Elektra began. While Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes is still signed to Arista Records, her alter ego N.I.N.A. is signed to Tha Row Records. When working on projects with TLC, the rapper will be known as "Left Eye," as a solo artist she will be known as N.I.N.A.

Eclectic singer Kelis is dropping her next effort "Wanderland" on March 12. The album is already available as an import since the singer has a huge following in the U.K.
