The media is killing me. Any personal injury/medical malpractice lawyer can tell you that physicians get sued for malpractice all the time. The "fact" that this doctor was sued twice for malpractice really is not extraordinary.

I was personally suprised. I though he would be in hiding for a hot minute. But I can understand him trying to move on, but I know it will be hard without his mom.

Also, I'm suprised he did that song, considering that he rarely does it live.

That article offered a really interesting perspective on crime in the Black community.

I thought it was telling that about an hour after the author posted the article, it was front page news, so to speak, on MSN. I think his use of the analogy Black KKK was primarily for shock value and to garner attention--which it did (why would he use KKK anyway, even if the shooter was black, it is safe to say that his agenda did not mesh with that of the KKK). But there is a problem with the way that Black criminals are able to effectively terrorize and silence people in Black communities.

I am of deeply mixed mind about Whitlock because the sense I get is that he doesn't propose solutions. I do not mind people calling people out, but solutions should be at least attempted. I'm also sort of surprised at the timing of the article. Note that Fox Sports doesn't have a comment box open.

Is this the guy that goes back and forth with SupaKen (for those who get Russ Parr)?

Either way, I think he did make some valid points, but as Steeltrap said, offers no solutions. I mean, we all know what the issues are, but how do we go about solving them?

I was scrolling thru the Movies That Rock pics and thinking, "Everyone looks GOOD!" Even Usher looked decent, and I'm not really feeling him anymore. Then, I get to Eve and that foundation looking more like a mask than anything. I'm upset that her girls are just smashed in that dress.

I like Mary's cute little blonde cut. It looks good on her.

They do look nice. I'm thinking MJB is channelling Nina Simone. Isn't she playing her in an upcoming film?

I agree about the tats. As someone mentioned or I heard on the radio, it shows her (MJB) "growing pains" or something along that line.

Rapper Pimp C found dead in LA hotel

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071204/.../obit_pimp_c_2

17 minutes ago



LOS ANGELES - Pimp C, one-half of the veteran Houston rap group UGK, was found dead in an upscale hotel on Tuesday.


"It is with great regret that I must confirm that Chad Butler aka Pimp C, one half of the legendary UGK, was in fact discovered dead this morning," his publicist, Nancy Byron, said in a statement. "Manager Rick Martin is asking that everyone please respect his family and those close to him at this time and refrain from rumors and innuendo."

Pimp C and partner Bun B were pioneers of Southern rap, and hit the mainstream with their cameo on Jay-Z's hit "Big Pimpin'."
