Grandpa Bill is at it again. In the past Bill has been on the “All Rap is Crap” bandwagon and has seriously criticized hip-hop at large, blaming it for many of the problems facing black youth today. Well hold onto your butts kids cus Grandpa is comin’ out with a Hip-Hop album called
State of Emergency according to
AllHipHop.com. Now don’t get it twisted. There will be nothing on the album resembling
Tip Drill or
What Dat Thang Smell Like. No, no. He is using this album to address some of the issues he feels are plaguing our community today like black on black crime and teen pregnancy.
I’m not quite sure what to say. He’s done comedy albums. He’s even sung as we can see from the above album cover (God bless Google Images!). But rap? His intentions: noble. His method: damn ridiculous. Since we know he’ll never be better than the Rappin’ Granny I’m going to have to ask Grandpa Bill to go sit down somewhere.
(Thanks for the info Mini D!)

Rumor has it that Katie Holmes stormed out of a Scientology meeting recently because she just can’t take it anymore. She’s been stressed out over those crazy videos of Tom assuming his role as Captain Scientology, Mayor of Crazytown. In addition to that, she’s mad at Tom for forcing her to do “Mad Money” instead of “Dark Knight”

Um Katie, boo-boo, you can’t go and do stuff like that when you’re married to a bonafide nut job like Tommy Boy here. You need to map out a plan that involves packing up Suri and seeking cover in some small, little known village in East Europe. Actually scratch that, he’ll find you no matter where you go. You should probably resolve yourself to the fact that the 6 ft deep hole he’s digging in the backyard…well, it’s not for a hot tub. Sighs…
In other TomKat news…
Tommy is going to get a brand new Ducati Desmosedici RR motorcycle. He’s getting the first of only 1,500 bikes being made. The bike is priced at $72,500 and can go up to 200 mph.

200mph? Is that really necessary? Correct answer: No. Sounds like death on wheels. Some asshole is going to ram that $72,500 bike into a highway divider and go splat. I’m instantly reminded of this series of pictures I saw on Rotton.com of an accident between a motorcyclist and a 16 wheeler. Severed body parts…entrails caught in wheels…just not pretty. Don’t fret. Tommy Boy will be ok. He’s got Xenu on his side.

The Color Purple will be closing on Sunday February 24th after two years on Broadway. Some are attributing the close of the show to Fantasia Barino. If you recall, the
American Idol alum missed 50 performances during her run as Celie. This resulted in mass refunds. If the headliner is does not perform the ticket holder can request a refund. Ergo, the show was cost a lot of money by her repeated absences. Conversely, the ticket sales were at their highest during Fantasia’s time with the show. So when she stopped performing as Celie people stopped buying tickets. This further resulted in a loss of money. The higher ups decided to end the show and send it on a national tour.

Dang Fanny. You musta been good to shut down the whole damn production. Now I’m kinda mad that when I saw after she left. From what I hear from people who’ve seen her in it, she is the shizz. Too bad it couldn’t have a longer run here on Broadway. But, at least now people in other cities get to check out the show.

This outfit is absolutely mesmerizing. I find myself staring at it and I can’t look away. Are there subliminal messages in the pattern? Or is it her enormous knockers that have got my eyes glued to the screen? I’m sure this pic could be used in some type of brainwashing experiment. Lawd knows it would work on me.
(Lo starts singing the lyrics to Shoop at her desk: Don’t know how you do the voodoo that you do to so well/it’s a spell, hell, makes me wanna shoop shoop shoop)
Hey Coco, hit us up with a comment when you get a chance. We haven’t heard from you in a while.

Please read the below paragraph.
Wearing a black, leather biker jacket, black polo shirt and faded blue jeans and with his long hair pulled back in tightly braided dreadlocks, Omar bin Laden, 26, spoke via satellite from Cairo with his 52-year-old British wife at his side. The fourth-oldest son of the world’s most wanted man has recently been in the media, saying he wants to use his name to be an “ambassador for peace” between Islam and the West. While he has renounced his father’s methods, he does not call him a terrorist. [

There are three things wrong with this paragraph in both wording and content. Hit me back with the three things that made you go ‘Hmmm’ and if it matches my list then a bottle of Manifesto wine will be coming your way. It’s not that hard. Re-read it and every time you either go “whaaaa?” or suck your teeth, take note of it. Ready? Go!

I’m in a much better mood after a lovely weekend. I hit up VIPs in West Orange with the T&A crew, Rhonda, Danny, Brewer, and Denise. It was a lovely time and I must give props to the very talented and friendly Kelly and Janelle. They showed us a
REAL good time. Honorable mention goes to Pamela (please insert heavy Latin accent) from Panama who gave a valiant effort at her best Coco impression.
Sunday I watched football instead of hitting up the roller rink. Maybe I’ll do that next weekend. I’m glad I did because watching the Giants win is a once in a lifetime type of event.
Yesterday Brewer and I went to see Cloverfield since it was sold out Friday. All I have to say is if you have a weak stomach or get motion sickness fairly easily then don’t go see it. It’s like Blair Witch meets Godzilla, crossed with Jurassic Park on Acid. I needed an Alka-Seltzer and some Ginger Ale afterwards.
Sidebar, when we were leaving the theater Tracy Morgan was walking in. His wife recently filed for divorce because of his drunkard ways and he was saying that the reports weren’t true and that they were very much still together. Well guess what? The young lady holding his hand was NOT his wife. If I wasn’t so dizzy and ill from the movie I would have whipped out my camera and taken a pic right then and there. But alas, I was concentrating on not puking.
Anywayz, it was a fantabulous weekend overall and I even managed to drag myself to work today with little effort. Thanks everyone for the birthday cards, calls, e-mails and to those of you who actually spent some time with me this past week. I truly appreciate all of it!

Nate Dogg suffered a stroke over the holidays according to his manager. He is paralyzed on the left side of his body. His rep Rob McGrew said, ““Time will tell everything, obviously. The doctor can only guess what the outcome will be,” McGrew said. “But based on situations with similar people his age, and based on his health, the prognosis is good right now.” Updated status is that the prognosis for a full recovery.
Source
Dang, Nate’s only 39 years old. I hope he does have that full recovery the doctors are predicting. He’s a true talent. I’ve never heard ANYONE make ‘smackin’ up hoes’ sound so melodic and beautiful.
Just for that I gotta post
Regulators. If this doesn’t make you wanna low ride in you’re Impala, arm around your shawty, sippin’ on some gin n’ juice, then you’re pimp game is officially dead! All my playas enjoy!
Man, I’m fixin’ to pull out my cassette single of this song. And yes, I still have my cassettes. Lea’ me ‘lone!

The Foo Fighters won’t be the only ones crossing the picket lines to perform at the Grammys. Beyonce has announced that she’s going to perform as well. Other performers like JT, Fiddy, and Bon Jovi are vowing to NOT cross picket lines in support of the WGA. The show’s organizers say that it will go on even though writers are threatening to protest the event.
Source
Hmm, I’m not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand we want to support the writers (or at least I do) in their quest. But on the other hand folks gotta work. I don’t know man, this strike is really messin wit’ my TV lineup. Hey there Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers! How bout you give them what they want and stop dickin’ around! These poor people deserve a fair deal. Many of them are now homeless for Pete’s sake. Oh, and of course there is the aforementioned crinkle in my boob tube shed-jule. Thanks!
We’ve got a code black! I need a meatball sandwich, a hearty chowder, some bagel bites, a warm plate of fettuccini alfredo, and fully loaded roll from Cinnabon! I’m talking extra frosting and pecans! Now hurry! Red team go! Red team go!
For those of you who were asking for a definition of a term I often use-Blackle-Here you go!
Eddie, go somewhere and stop frontin! Riddle me this…in the picture at the bottom right…what is his right hand reaching for? That man’s crotch perhaps? 
This is Tik…one of the Flavor of Love girls from season 3. Allz I gotta say is: What?! What?! In the butt! 
And speaking of butts… 
When is Lola Love going to do something about those crazy implants she’s got?
This is JUST why folks talk about black people…this ish right here!
Oh Bobby…
