Yes, that's Chris' full real name. His dad goes by Mayce.

This would tie in nicely with Ohhjjj's new persona as a rap fan. Spare me.

I heard that interview too. Someone had called in to say how they liked her interview w/OJ instead of how those idiots on the other station handled it. (I listened to the Star,Buc, and MJ interview that same morning). Wendy went on to mention that she is friends with those "idiots", Miss Jones, Star, and Bucwild and that they (all) recently went to lunch together.

FOREHEAD is right! You could show a movie on that thing.

[tickledpink]

Ya'll are dead wrong crackin' on that girl's Fo' head like that!

Anyway, why did CNN have it on their Front page that President Bush is ok after fainting while eating a pretzel and watching a football game?? I understand being concerned about his health, but do we need to know he was eating a pretzel? What if he was... indisposed, would they have put that up there, too? Can we say, TMI? Details from CNN:



EAST MOLINE, Illinois (CNN) -- President Bush -- scraped and bruised after a fainting spell -- extolled motherhood on Monday as another symbol of American patriotism, and gave the John Deere workers he addressed a lighthearted lesson to chew on.

"If my mother is listening, mother, I should have listened to you: Always chew your pretzels before you swallow," Bush said jokingly.

Bush lost consciousness for a brief time in the White House on Sunday evening while eating a pretzel and watching a professional football game on television. He fell from his couch, and has a scrape a large bruise on his left cheekbone, and a bruise on his lower lip to show for his troubles. His glasses cut the side of his face.

"I hit the deck," is how Bush described the mishap as he left the White House for his current two-day trip, which is focusing on economic issues during stops in Illinois, Missouri and Louisiana.

On the first leg of his trip, Bush received a John Deere jacket. He said when he heard he was going to get a gift, he thought he would be handed a pretzel -- the kind "that are easy to chew."

"When I work the rope lines, people bring their children. I always turn to the child, especially the teen-agers and say, 'Listen to your mother. It's the best advice I can give you.' I obviously needed to do the same thing last night. But I'm feeling great."

Bush was evaluated by a White House physician and cleared to travel Monday after all his vital signs were determined to be normal, White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said.


Dr. Richard Tubb, an Air Force physician, conducted the follow-up exam on the president. "Dr. Tubb checked all the vital signs and he told me all are normal and the president said he feels fine," Fleischer said.

Bush told the White House medical team Sunday he was watching the Baltimore-Miami NFL playoff game on the couch in his bedroom while eating pretzels, when he fainted. Bush said he believes he lost consciousness for only a few seconds at about 5:35 p.m., because when he opened his eyes, he said, his dogs were in the same location as his last memory from being seated on the couch.

However, he told a top aide, Karen Hughes, "they were looking at me a little funny."

Bush was initially examined by a White House nurse and then by Tubb on Sunday, and ran through a series of tests that included a cardiopulmonary workup, blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Tubb told reporters Bush reported a pretzel "did not go down right" and the doctor said it was possible a pretzel had lodged against a nerve and momentarily caused a decrease in the president's heart rate, causing him to faint.

Baltimore won the playoff game 20-3.

[PinkBeauty]

What is this about Keke Wyatt facing 10 to 20 yrs in prison? If anyone knows the 411 please let me know.

[CrimsonTide4]

Check out Celebrity Dish II for the Keke Wyatt story.

I got this from Flo Anthony and Jawn on www.floanthony.com

1. Sources say that Kenny Lattimore and Chante’ Moore got married on December 21, 2001 in Jamaica. A spokesperson for Kenny’s label Arista says that it is just a rumor and it is not true. Nonetheless, with rumors that Chante’ could be pregnant, this would only be appropriate. If the couple did wed last year, this would be Chante’s third marriage. Moore was also recently dropped from MCA Records.

2. David E. Talbert definitely aint your “Mama I Want My Chicken Fried”-type of playwright. Talbert, whose highly acclaimed and financially successful theatrical presentations include "His Woman, His Wife," which featured Tommy Ford and
Stephanie Mills, and "The Fabric of a Man," which starred Shemar Moore and Cheryl “Pepsi” Riley, recently announced the creation of the Urban Broadway Series. The U.B.S. will present gospel musicals, plays, and concerts that capture the African American experience. For his latest venture, Talbert has solicited some Hollywood big wigs like Robert Townsend, Babyface and Tracy Edmonds, among others to work with him. The first play i! n the series is called "Love Makes Things Happen," which is a comedy about woman who makes six figures a year and falls in love with a man who makes $6.00 an hour. Music by Babyface will be the soundtrack for the feature that will star Kevon Edmonds, Coko of SWV, Dawn Robinson of En Vogue/Lucy Pearl, and comedian Joe Torry.

3. New MCA artist Keke Wyatt, who had an impressive industry debut on the “My First Love” remake with Avant, was arrested on Christmas day after she stabbed her husband five times during a dispute. Wyatt, who is 21-years-old, stabbed Rahmat Morton, who is also her manager. Morton suffered stab
wounds to the chest, arm, hands and his back, but apparently still living. Wyatt was charged with 2nd degree assault and if convicted could face 10 to 20 years in prison. Her first solo album “Soul Sista” was released November 13, 2001 and featured the single “Nothing In This World,” a duet with Avant. Unfortunately for Wyatt, life will imitate art! , as she’ll actually be appearing in a courtroom just like in her music video for that single.

4. Okay, more and more I am starting to think that something is wrong with Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. Aside from burning down Andre Rison’s home, or the disappearing act she pulled about a year and a half ago, the TLC member now reportedly told fans via her website that she was about to start a clothing line in conjunction with Pelle Pelle and its founder Marc Buchanan, which according to Pelle Pelle, just aint true. This was also sited as the reason why the rapper wasn’t in the studio with TLC, holding up progress on their next album. Well the clothing company says they have not had talks with the Lopes about a clothing line and do even know what she is talking about. Huh? Anyways, to make matters worse, Left Eye has left Arista and has signed with Suge Knight’s Tha Row Records. She will record under the name N.I.N.A., an acronym for "New Identity Non-Applicable," and the street name for the 9mm handgun, according to her publicist.

5. Destiny’s Child Doing The Stellars
Pop mega-group Destiny’s Child will perform at the Stellar Awards, which is gospel’s premiere award show. The girls will perform the “Gospel Medley” from their “Survivor.” D.C. member Michelle Williams will also perform the duet “Steel Away” with Shirley Caesar on the award show. “Steel Away” is featured on Caesar’s “Hymns” album and will also be included on Michelle’s upcoming gospel project. Williams is currently featured on the cover of Gospel Today magazine and she discusses her gospel music endeavors in a feature interview in the magazine. When a! sked why she decided to record a gospel album, Michelle stated, “I’ve been singing in church all my life. When I got in Destiny’s Child I was still singing in church. Gospel has always been in me. I’m known as the “church girl” in the group. A lot of people know I come from church. I guess my personality and style of singing is very churchy. A gospel record wasn’t a question. It was something I wanted to do.”

6. WHO IS THIS?!!?!?:
Can't Say Names... Its still raining drama in the life of a washed up R&B singer. This “where are they now” sister that acted in a movie that began her fifteen minutes of fame has caused some local producers in her city to cry foul. Apparently, this wannabe-diva who is desperate to be in spotlight again, had numerous DC-area producers work on material for a both a gospel and R&B album that she’s attempting to shop for deals. Though this bad girl on the backburner, who has reportedly changed her first name in efforts of revamping her image, is professing to have a newly rekindled relationship with God and will strictly record gospel for now on, sources say that she also recorded the R&B album and will pursue the genre that’s the most lucrative. If I could tell you who this girl is, then maybe you could tell her she’s all washed up!

7. Eve's movie career has gotten underway. The rapturous raptress recently began shooting "XXX" with Vin Diesel and Samuel L. Jackson. The flick is an X-Game version of James Bond that's not x-rated. Meanwhile, Vin is also set to star in "Pitch Black 2," which has just been green-lit for production. A busy man, he's also in talks to star in a sequel to
"The Fast and The Furious."

8. LEGENDARY rapper/beatmaker DJ Biz Markie is set to make to make a cameo appearance in "Men in Black 2." In the much-awaited sequel, Biz plays the role of a space alien who teaches Will Smith's character how to beatbox. Michael Jackson also has a cameo in the movie. Biz is currently in the studio finishing his new LP, "The Weekend Warrior," which drops February 26.

From Patty Jackson's 411:

The war between The Reverends continue, as the Reverend Al Sharpton continues his attacks on the Reverend Jesse Jackson. In the current issue of New York Magazine, Al dissed Jesse saying that Jesse has an ego problem and that he can't deal with him. Jesse offered no comment on Al's statements so now Al is going under the belt. Al is running for President and he recently opened offices on the West Coast. Well Guess who was Al's special guest? Karin Stafford! Jesse's former mistress and the mother of his love child. Karin and Al are now thick as thieves and in a speech to supporters Karin said, "Al Sharpton was the only Civil Rights Leader she respects and supports". Last November Karin and Jesse finally settled their child support arrangements, but Karin will never forgive Jesse for dumping her. HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED! Karin wanted Jesse to marry her and leave his wife but Jesse will never leave his wife Jackie. Al Sharpton should start dealing with issues and stop his hate campaign against Jesse Jackson. Jesse may have made some mistakes but Al will never take his place in history. As for Karin, get over it girl and get your own man not someone else's husband. Jesse Jackson is also making news about his finances. Friends of Jesse say his empire in crumbling. Sources site the loss of his political clout, personal scandal and Wall Street Backers who view Jesse as Anti-American. Last year Jesse employed 100 people now this year he has less than 50. Jesse's money is drying up and he has to find a new way to come up with cash. Another problem looming for Jesse is a new book coming out this year called The Real Jesse Jackson: 30 years of political activity by Kenneth Timmerman. One of the questions raised in the book is why Jesse has never been audited by the IRS
