More News for the New Year!

[Im_just_me]

A Center Point family who made news 2½ years ago with the birth of their sextuplets are about to become TV stars. ABC's cameras were rolling about 8 a.m. when Ty Pennington, the show's frenetic host, stood in front of the Harris home and bellowed into a bullhorn. "Harris family, come on out!" They didn't. So he bellowed again. Then again. The family blamed their delayed reaction on a music session. "They were in the kitchen singing `The Wheels on the Bus,' so they couldn't hear," said "Extreme Makeover" landscape designer Eduardo Xol.

Rest of the story here.

I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW IT!!!!

I knew good and d@mn well he ain't just take his eye out!!! I was gon' ask if he ate it (a la that other dude) but I ain't want y'all to trip out, lol.

Now, this makes much better sense to me. Thanks, Kim.

Now that's just nasty. I heard on 106 n Park where they said that he tried to commit suicide, but they didn't say anything about him taking his eye out. I mean I know he was a one hit wonder and everything but it should NOT get that bad. I knew he had to be on something else cuz black folk just don't up and do stuff like that (normally)! .......wow....that is all I can say

This one I want to see, particularly six babypeople. I think we talked about them before -- do all their names begin with a K?

ETA: It is the same family.

Ok, so i looked at the houston eye pic........it doesn't look that bad. I was thinking it was going to look totally empty, like someone who lost an eye to cancer or something.

Drugs are bad man. Like Whitney said, crack is whack!

But this right here:

Upon hearing about Houston, Bushwick Bill of rap group the Geto Boys felt compelled to speak out. In 1991, Bill forced his girlfriend to assist him in a suicide attempt, and she shot him in the eye. "Fame will make you crazy," Bill said in a statement. "Fame isn't for everybody. There are people who have a fear of fame, those who want fame, and those who don't understand fame. It drives them crazy, because it is a lot of responsibility to be all things to all people, and you can lose yourself in the shuffle, where there are no longer 52 cards in the deck."

Made me LMAO. No, ok, it made me ROTFLMAO. All of it. I would LOVE to hear Chris Rock's commentary about this.

ETA:

Why do people keep messin' with PCP??? Didn't they learn from ol' dude last year eatin' lungs???

[Conskeeted7]

That is really sad that Houston has these mental issues that make him want to hurt himself. He's pretty young too isn't he?

On another note...if Beyonce is wearing wigs, why did Loreal even hire her? That is deceptive advertising to the max!! No shampoo is going to make your hair look like a $50,000 wig...that's ridiculous.

[Ideal08]

They should use this for a commercial:

This is your eye. (Before picture of Houston)

This is your eye on drugs. (After picture of Houston)



This is my last joke on the topic, I swear. But for real.

Dang! I know he's mad now if it was a bad PCP trip. He, Slick Rick and Bushwick and the eye patch thing...

Why would he even mess with that itsh if he had mental health issues?

LOL. I said the same thing (w/o the dollar amount) when she first got that ad.

I feel it's the same way with the "black" hair books in the salons. Most of those styles are wearve/pieces. Whose hair is gonna really look like that?

[TheEpitome1920]

Has anyone else seen this pic? Is it really him?

[Ideal08]

Epitome, they were talking about it on the radio the other day; I wanna say it was on 93.9, but I forget. The DJs wants someone to send in a tape of the show with him on there. They are giving away some prize for whoever sends in a tape of it. I guess only time will tell.
