Editors Note-Arnold is so misinformed culturally and historically.
LOS ANGELES - Caramba! Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger apologized yesterday for saying that Latinos have “hot” tempers due to a combination of “black blood” mixed with “Latino blood.”
The red-faced governator’s racially charged remarks were taped during a meeting with his top aides last year and published in the Los Angeles Times yesterday.

Schwarzenegger set forth his bizarre racial theory while discussing the temperament of Republican state Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia, who was born on the lower East Side to Puerto Rican parents.
“She maybe is Puerto Rican or the same thing as Cuban. I mean they are all very hot. They have, you know, part of the black blood in them and part of the Latino blood in them that, together, makes it,” he said.

Schwarzenegger yesterday called Latino and African-American legislative leaders to apologize and offered a public mea culpa - with Garcia by his side - at an event in Santa Monica.

“I just want to say I am sorry,” he said. “If I would hear this kind of comments in my house by my kids, I would be upset. Today when I read it in the papers, it made me cringe.”

Garcia let him off the hook. “Governor, there is no need to apologize.”

She said she has a running inside joke with Schwarzenegger about her “hot-blooded Latina” personality.

Toni Braxton has added a $1 million microphone to her Las Vegas show, 'Revealed.' According to BV sister company TMZ.com, Braxton has struck a deal with The Giantto Group, a high-end jewelry company, to use its one-of-a-kind Million Dollar Microphone throughout the run of her show. The mic is made of white gold and encrusted with 650 karats of diamonds.
Does it make her voice sound less like Mushmouth from Fat Albert?


"It's so extravagant, like taking a bath in Dom Perignon. I love it," said the one-time bankrupt Braxton. QUOTE]
LMAO!!! She's headed for bankruptcy number 2!!

Britney Spears gave birth to her second son early Tuesday morning, according to the National Enquirer and US Weekly. The 6-pound, 11-ounce baby reportedly made his debut just before 2 a.m. in a Los Angeles area hospital. MTV.com also reported the birth, citing a source close to the family who refused to say whether it was a boy or a girl.
A representative for Spears dismissed the reports, telling MTV.com they were "speculation."

The baby's arrival came two days short of the first birthday of Spears and husband Kevin Federline's first son, Sean Preston. Rumors were swirling around celebrity blog sites that Spears planned to have the birth induced on Thursday so that the siblings could share the same birthday.


According to the Enquirer report, Spears' mother Lynn and sister Jamie Lynn, along with Federline, were present at the birth.
Federline also has two children from a previous relationship with actress Shar Jackson — a 4-year-old daughter named Kori and a 2-year-son, Kaleb.

She wanted them to have the same birthday because it would be easier from her to remember.

RALEIGH, N.C. - Poet and novelist Maya Angelou said she agreed to host a weekly show for XM Satellite Radio's "Oprah & Friends" channel partly because she's never hosted a radio show before. Another reason: "I love Oprah a lot, and I'm excited with anything she's doing."

Angelou will host an hourlong show that she hopes will be called "Maya Angelou's America," although the title hasn't been decided. She plans to interview ordinary people, along with the "famous and infamous," asking them what they think it means to be an American.

"It's amazing to hear people talk about the United States," she said in an interview Tuesday while she traveled to Mobile, Ala., for a speech. "Many of us have not been asked to describe what it means to us. They hesitate and search for the words and search for what they really think. And that's very exciting."XM, which has more than 7 million subscribers, planned to officially announce Angelou's show Wednesday.

Angelou joins Oprah Winfrey and other people known from her show, such as Dr. Robin Smith, Nate Berkus and Gayle King, as on-air hosts for the "Oprah & Friends" channel.

Angelou's writings include her autobiography, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," as well as a collection of poetry titled "Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'Fore I Diiie" that was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
Angelou said she continues to teach at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C., where she has a lifetime position as the Reynolds professor of American studies.

He looks like he's channeling Stevie Wonder in that pic...who is also probably wondering WTH he has on too.

[AKA2D '91]

I thought that as well. Little Stevie Wonder. Or, KW channeling Eddie Murphy channeling SW on SNL years ago.
