No Looking Back/TGIF

Happy Friday on this amazing day!
We, like the sun will rise again, life is all about the topsy turvy, the stumble and fall, We pick ourselves up and get ready for round two. I said what I said and I meant what I meant,seldom is an apology the end of the story moving on in forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do. Standing in the wings waiting for your ship to sail in, nine times out of ten you'll be at the airport, not everyday will be your lucky day, but your obstacles are your gain. I say stand strong deal with your convictions, being a soldier is standing on the front line ready for battle, whatever the situation may be.

It's hard for me to understand the person who is conflicted with their demons, which prevents them from achieving their best, maybe it's easier to live a meager existence than to push the envelope. To every story there's three sides yours, theirs, and the truth, honesty is always sexy to me and yet I find people rarely want to hear the truth, or will put a spin on it to their benefit, I say speak on it and take your stand, when you open yourself up to new thoughts and ideals something radiant's within. In society we live in a culture constantly chasing others accomplishments by getting caught up on egotistical things never fully addressing concerns at hand,and losing the core of your 'center' where your voice has lost its sense of reason, take ownership, by being accountable.

Prayer can be silent and it's a private talk between you and the creator, you can seek guidance, asking for forgiveness is always welcomed, and admitting to things in which you do not know is a strength. To listen is about true conviction, and though you might not agree, you should be open to the other persons point of view. Are you someone who speak on things that you do not practice, but pretend to, if so you're only doing yourself and those around you a disservice. Peeling the layers is a very freeing exercise and when something is cathartic it can break down defenses. No looking back means that you're learning every step of the way, in doing so you're building bridges. However the lessons are gained, the best method to excellence is one with few regrets. In love relationships you can say I loved you, we made it work for a time, we grew differently but it didn't work out, I'm better because of my life experience with you, and addressing issues allows you to walk away, releasing negative confinements and not looking back is life's fortitude which allows the dust to settle 'now' you're free.

What Are You Doing With Your Life?

I'm Just Saying...

Essence magazine hires a WHITE Fashion Editor....PAUSE!!! WTF is going on? I was never a big fan of Susan Taylor, but when she was in charge of the magazine, it was on the right course. Now this is a huge slap in the face, let's see if the Essence magazine subscribers will stay on board.

Kenya Moore has resorted to what flat booty white girls do, the former Miss USA got her some bootay implants. WHY WHY WHY? First of all she's like a hundred years old, does it really matter? Her career is in the tank...so why waste your time and energy rocking a fake ass, put that money into a CD or invest.

President Obama dropped by ABC's The View today and held his own next to catty females. Good job Sir!

Wyclef Jean is running for President of Haiti, c'mon really? First he cheats on his wifey with Lauryn Hill, then alledgedly he kept the donations from the Haitian relief fund, now he wants to be President, well if I were in Haiti, I would be making tracks to get the hell up out!!

George Clooney's girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, has recently been linked to an Italian cocaine scandal, and is apparently distraught over the fact that she may have been secretly taped doing the drug as part of an extortion plan!

Raphael Saddiq paying homage to one of the greatest r&b/pop bands, Shalamar. They were much ahead of their time, and had the UK and America wrapped around their fingers, Jody Watley, Jeffrey Daniels and Howard Hewitt have sealed their legacy in time, and it's always good to know that other artists remember as I do, and it's a nice way to introduce the classics to an entire new generation. Enjoy!!!

I'm Just Saying...

President Obama is going to make an appearance on The View, so I'm sure the blonde airhead co-host is getting all her little Republican questions ready to throw at him. I know that Whoopi and Joy will have his back, and well Sherri will just be there.

Mark my word people Kanye West is on his way back, for all the naysayers, you can't deny this man's talent, few people in this industry can go against the odds, so he has a big mouth, but I give him mad props, and face it, the boy is TALENTED and ahead of the game. Welcome back Kanye, I NEVER left your fan base.

Jay-Z's former business partner Damon Dash, seems to have fallen on hard times, and his use to be great friend and partner doesn't seem to remember that they started together, when your family needs you, through the thick and thicker, you should have their back, guess NOT so much in Hollywood where few really know who they are.

Rihanna and her rebound Matt Kemp are getting engaged, whom lets see how this plays out. Also...Rihanna will be starring in a science fiction war film for the popular Hasbro game Battleship – set to hit theaters next May. The movie will be directed by Peter Berg and also star Alexander Skarsgard

OMG why is Usher re-releasing his CD with 8 new tracks, this time he's calling it "VERSUS", if you can't bring the heat the first go round, youre basically admitting that you lost your swagger, it's hard to live up to "Confessions", which was truly worth the re-release because it sold almost 10 million copies, and at that time Usher was fresh to death! Some years later he's more on some "I'm Not Gay" shit, with the Chili's and Geriatric Ex-Wifey, all of that crap gets away from what's important which is the MUSIC!! I'm Just Saying...

NYC has to pay 7 million dollars to the Sean Bell family, a 23-year-old black man fatally shot by the police in 2006, on what would have been his wedding day.
The decision came after two days of intense negotiations in Federal District Court in Brooklyn. The children whom Mr. Bell had with his fiancée, Nicole Paultre Bell, will receive $3.25 million, and two friends of Mr. Bell’s who were injured in the episode will also receive payments, with Joseph Guzman getting $3 million, and Trent Benefield $900,000. In my opinion NO amount of money will ever bring this young man back, and his child and wive's life will never be the same, it's just a shameful case of police feeling like they can do no wrong.

Rapper Rick Ross beats Eminem by less than a 1000 units to debut @ #1. So congrats BIG BAAAABEY!!

Angelina's movie 'Salt' was hot to def, though I think she's losing her sex appeal....or is it just me?

Was Alicia Keys ex manager robbing her blind? Well it appears that something was happening, which Is why she's repping for herself now.

Actor Carl Gordon who played "Roc"s pop on the 80's sitcom passed away. He was 78, he was a late blooming actor, but made his presence known. Carl Gordon, who four decades ago, nearing midlife and feeling trapped in a series of dispiriting jobs, heeded a surprising call and became a successful character actor on television and the stage, died on Tuesday at his home in Jetersville, Va. He was 78.The cause was non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, his family said.
To television viewers, Mr. Gordon was best known as the patriarch on “Roc,” a situation comedy about a working-class black family in Baltimore, broadcast on the Fox network for three seasons starting in 1991. In a highly unusual move, Seasons 2 and 3 were televised live, an approach to sitcoms that had been attempted rarely if at all since the 1950s.
The show starred Charles S. Dutton as Roc Emerson, a sanitation worker, and Mr. Gordon as his proud, irascible father, Andrew. So proud was Andrew Emerson that he seeded the family home with pictures of Malcolm X and maintained that a certain member of the Boston Celtics was far too good a basketball player to be a white man:
“Larry Bird was born and bred in Harlem,” Andrew declared in one episode. “His real name is Abdul Mustafa.”
On Broadway, Mr. Gordon originated the part of Doaker, the upright uncle in “The Piano Lesson” (1990), by August Wilson, one of two Pulitzer Prize-winning installments in the playwright’s 10-part cycle about black life. He reprised the role in the television adaptation, broadcast on CBS in 1995.
Rufus Carl Gordon Jr. was born on Jan. 20, 1932, in Goochland, Va.; he later jettisoned the “Rufus.” When he was a child his family moved to Brooklyn, where he grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. As a young man he spent four years in the Air Force, serving as an airplane mechanic during the Korean War. R.I.P.

T.I. is going to marry that girl from Xscape, WHY WHY WHY...but he got about twenty kids from that broad, so I guess it's cool. She's just hard to look @ and when I do, I keep thinking about the muppet's Miss Piggy, and her show on BET is WHACK hey I'm Just Saying...

The Cincinnati Bengals are proud to announced that they have bought themselves one Terrell Owens for the hefty price tag of $2 million. The one-year deal also includes another $2 million in incentives.

Evander Holyfield and his son have been getting themselves in a whirl of trouble lately. Holyfield’s 20 year old son, Ewin Ezekiel Holyfield, was busted with less than an ounce of marijuana, driving with a suspended license, an expired tag and defective equipment. R you serious?

On the TvONe show "Life After" Aunt Viv set the record the street on Mr. Will Smith...Janet Hubert who rose to fame as Will Smith’s first “Aunt Viv” in his popular Fresh Prince of Bel Air series talks about her experience working on the show, and how they forgot to put that ass kissing clause in her contract.

Leonard DiCaprio's movie Inception KO's Angelina Jolie's movie "Salt" at the Box Office for the #1 movie for the second week in a row, raking in 43 million dollars.

Word on the street is that rapper Jay-Z is a little upset with Lebron James decision to go to the Miami Heat, apparently Jay felt a little slighted, hmmm I'll bet that he did.

WILL.I.AM is on board to produce a track for Nicki Minaj debut CD. Let's hope the lip syncing barbie doll brings the heat, I'm sure Lil Kim and Foxy Brown are paying close attention.

Jennifer Lopez turned 40 this past weekend, Happy Birthday J.Lo oops I forgot that you don't like to be called that anymore:) well how about we call you what Jamie Foxx use to call you Hey Ho....oops okay I'm being silly, but those are Jamie's words not mine.

Singer Lauryn Hill is about to blow up the spot again, her new song "Repucussions" is a banger and it's like no time has passed since her "Miseducation" days. I'm happy that Lauryn is back at doing her thizzle(thang).

NFL Football player Terrell Owens looks close to signing on with The Bengals, joining his pal Chad Ochocinco.

Since cyclist Floyd Landis admitted to performance-enhancing drug use, he has come forward to say that he saw his competitors engage in the same behavior.
"Rather than go into the entire detail of every single time I've seen it, yes," said Landis. "I saw Lance Armstrong using drugs." I truly believe him, now let's see what happens to Lance, probably nothing, it's the AMERICAN way!

In Flight/TGIF

Happy Friday,
Expressions of life isn't always about a wrong or right and in most instances both parties come out on the losing end. Cowards tend to talk a good game but rarely can be present when someone in their immediate circle calls upon them. To exude an unselfish act in situations that aren't about you, of course excuses will run rampant as to why their presence was absent, which makes the greatest wall for someone who is afraid to give more of themselves than is required. What goes up surely must come down, that can be applied to the successful and wealthy, there's a group that thinks money precludes them from rules and regulations, utilize your time and give of yourself, because it's free, and like it or not, we all must have that shoulder to give and be of service.

Curiosity draws a unique situation of circumstance and how beautiful is the tool called 'uncertainty' most times in life you take a step out on faith, it's like the bible scripture 'how can you love me in whom you cannot see, yet not love your brother in whom you see every day' it begins with belief. As I look at the world, I wonder what will the future hold for our children's, children, make your presence to them, the gift to be unwrapped. This week I got to witness a pure love of someone doing the hardest thing and that is saying goodbye, the beauty in that act, I saw unselfishness, loving care and humanit, and I witnessed a changing of the guards, I marveled in admiration, also I realized it's not so much about words, but it's in the being there, when you're In Flight, a transformation occurs.

Every day is a struggle to do the right thing, and to set examples in which for others to follow, challenges will always play a key part as the road wasn't meant to be paved with gold and riches. The more the earth moves things continue to reveal, you come to realize that everything has a season, and if for some reason the end of associations, enable us to a new awareness with a solid blueprint for better tomorrows, then all is not lost, and your acknowledgement of upon arrival is the gain. Like it or not life is like a shooting star, though beautiful, it comes and goes so quickly and with a blank of an eye it's vanished, the 'stillness' is the remnants.

What Are You Doing With Your Life?

I'm Just Saying...

Ladies this one if for you, something to get you through your Thursday....Football anyone?

Eminem continues his reign @ #1 on the Billboard charts for the fourth week in a row, which is pretty impressive, but also speaks to the state of music. Not a lot to challenge him, until next week when hefty bag rapper Rick Ross makes his debut on the charts.

Singer Rihanna got a nose job, guess she's channelling her inner Janet Jackson, I don't get the nose job, now RiRi if you want to impress me get some ass implants, because that's what is 'really' lacking on you. Nothing worse than a sister with a flat ass, c'mon now I'm Just Saying...

Singers who have something to hide always gets linked to a scandal, now it's Ne-Yo's turn as he tries to prove his sexuality, as if allegedly becoming a father isn't enough to throw off the scent, now he's in the news for sleeping with a 16 girl, which of course is ILLEGAL!! Guess bad press is 'still' press and at the end of the day, it keeps you on folks mind, but it still makes me SMH!

ActorLeonardo DiCaprio talks about dating in the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine here's an excerpt of the interview..“I had better success meeting girls before Titanic. My interactions with them didn’t have all the stigma behind it, not to mention there wasn’t a perception of her talking to me for only one reason.”

Rapper Foxy Brown just can't seem to get it together, the same cheek that she went to jail for fighting, has sent her ass back to the slammer for being in her neighborhood, this time Fox boogie Brown was screaming at her asking "Bitch what are you looking at", For those words she was in violation of her probation, she was arrested, and later released on a 50.000.00 bail. Guess it's good to know that she isn't broke, but still damn Foxy, get it together.

It doesn't get any better than Celion Dion, she one of a very few singers who really doesn't take her talents for granted, she perserves her voice at all costs, Whitney, Mariah and Christina can all follow her lead. This is a shining example of God's gift giving grace.

I'm Just Saying...

If rapper Shyne ever tells what he knows about Sean Poofy Combs, the mogul's career would be over, which would not be a "Hello" nor a "Good Morning". When that shoot out happened back in the day with J.Lo, all I know is that Poofy was on his knee's, hmmm maybe he was praying...yeah that's it praying, LOL I'm Just Saying...

Yesterday I was in Oakland Calif, and saw some of the biggest names in Gospel to praise the memory of the late Walter Hawkins who's funeral is today at The Paramount Theatre, people lined up by the thousands to get one ticket to Hawkins funeral. Yesterday I saw Karen Clarke-Sheard, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurklin, Mary Mary, Kurt Carr, Fred Hammonds and Donald Lawrence just to name a few.

Its not for me to say, but I did know that it was going to happen, Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are working on their relationship, guess the pee pee was too good to turn away from. Good luck Ms. Bullock, people rarely change.

Christina Applegate and her musician boyfriend got engaged on Valentine's Day after dating for two years. They have yet to set a date for the wedding. "He gave me something to really want to live for and something to smile about,"

Isn't Black so very Beautiful? and Vogue Magazine knows whats up.

Some folks with nothing to do will say that Will Smith kissing his son Jaden on the lips is weird, get OVER yourself people, it's the man's son, and that should be the end of story.

Lindsay Lohan owned up to her craziness, and turned herself in. I'm proud and in shock, I thought there would be more drama, but good for you Lindsay, see ya in 90!

Serena Williams recently had foot surgery and her ex-boy Common and radio personality LaLa(who recently married basketball stay Carmelo Anthony) dropped by to check in Serena.

I recently heard tracks from the King of Pop, he duets with Ne-Yo and Usher. I hope these two songs see the light of the day. I know that his record label are planning on recently something next month to commensurate his birthday.

What the hell was Jamie Foxx thinking by getting tattoo's on his hair line? Is it to cover up the receding hair line or maybe he was inspired by Mike Tyson's craziness. Jamie does seem loopy from time to time.

Basketball great Michael Jordan seemed to have his opinion on Lebron James joining Dewayne Wade and the Miami Heat. Well Jordan you are the greatest bball star of all time, but we it's not your decision, so keep it moving.

Singer Alicia Keys parted ways with her longtime management company, and will now handle the management duties on her own, that's the kind of control freak that she is, but who better to guide and direct, if she soars higher, she gets the credit but it she bombs, she gets the credit. LOL Also she and her boyfriend Swizz Beats are getting married this weekend, so she's been a busy little bee.

The world will say goodbye to gospel legend Walter Hawkins on Wednesday in Oakland and a musical tribute will be held tomorrow night.

Singer Justin Bieber's popularity continues to grow, and I still don't get it, but I'm not a 12 year old, so what do I know. His 'Baby' video is the most the watched video in the history of youtube with over 246 million views, damn that's a lot of kids.

Actors Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and singer/actor Tyrese team up for Fast Five, another installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. Let's hope that it's as good as the last one.

Rapper Krazie Bone from Bones Thuggs and Harmony is now a practicing member of the Jehovah's Witness Church.

Actor Wesley Snipes lost his appeal, and will have to serve a 3 year jail sentence for Tax Evasion. Wesley I recommend 'soap on a rope' I'm just Saying...

So Long/TGIF

TGIF
Hello everyone, the sun FINALLY came. This week I'm saddened by the passing of my friend Mrs. Johnson, as most of you remember me talking about her from time to time, even though I'm down, I still have joy, because I know who has the victory. She fought a long triumphant battle with Cancer, her Doctor gave her two weeks to live, that was back in 2007, and In my time of volunteering with her, she was never in pity mode, she always understood exactly what life was about, which is grace, she made no excuses for the good or bad, that she dealt with while she was here on earth. She taught me about tranquility, and excellence in the appreciation of life, she always found a bright moment on her darkest days, be it a bad reaction to chemo or her food not staying down, to the days when she didn't have the energy to get out of bed, her idea of victory were the days when she could walk outside to get her mail from her mailbox, or when she could look over into her rose garden, when she would read to me, I listened intently, we played cards, we even danced together when she was only able to move her eyes, but we danced. I will never forget you Mrs. Johnson, and I'll value your ethics for the rest of my life.

The Cancer fight has always been important for me, and it's a subject that hits close to home, I say it's your duty to live the very best life that's possible for you, the education of knowing your body, is your ammunition, its an absolute must to have your physicals regularly whether you have insurance or not, we live in a culture where we have the accessibility to have the best care and life possible, please do not take your days lightly here on earth. Proper diet is essential, and I know that it's easier said than done, but we must start somewhere, exercise helps tremendously, I could be much better in that department. Medication is the enemy, it's a temporary fix, and my suggestion is Holistic Herbs, as we must become more proactive, why make the pharmaceutical industry richer? For all my female followers, please research the CA125 test it’s the only test for Ovarian Cancer, and it's not covered during your regular physical, but it's the best 250.00 dollars that you'll ever spend. Knowledge is YOUR power!!

Singer and gold digger Kelis new CD only sold 7833 copies, I'm sure that she's not pressed about it, because she's bleeding her ex's pocket. UGH, see how Karma is Kelis, I'm Just Saying... I really dig the CD cover because it's very clever!

Racist network MTV chose not to air Ciara's "Let's Ride" video on their network, stating that it was too racy, so they will only show it after 9pm, fyi I've seen WORSE things on that network, Jersey Shores, The Hills, and numerous trashy rock videos. This sounds like a pay off from Matty Knowles, anything to try to hold my girl down.

R&B duo K-Ci and Jo Jo is supposedly making a comeback, um well....yawn!! I'm not impressed nor interested.

Is their trouble in paradise for Nicole Richie and her husband Joel Madden? I hope the rumor isn't true, Richie now has two kids with her husband, if this is true it could push her right over the edge, and I wonder if her ex bestfriend Paris Hilton is not somewhere secretly having a private celebration.

I love rapper Drake's CD, but damn radio do you have to be all over EVERY single song, it's like damn, give someone else a chance too...thankfully Ne-Yo released two mini-movie music videos today from his upcoming Libra Scale album dropping in September. Both songgs “Champagne Life” above and “Beautiful Monster” are now blazing the radio airwaves too, he truly deserves it.

Dumb Dumb Dumb actor Kelsey Grammar didn't have a pre-nup. I can hear the cash register ringing, damn Frazier what were you thinking? oops that's just it you were thinking with the wrong head.

Famed lawyer Robert Shapiro will represent Lindsay Lohan in her jail saga, but we're told Shapiro's plan is not to appeal Lindsay's 90-day jail sentence. Shapiro, who was part of the team that successfully repped O.J. Simpson, will try to convince Judge Marsha Revel to put Lindsay in a rehab facility and either eliminate or minimize jail. I say she deserves BOTH!!

It's official Derek Fisher remains a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, after meeting with coach Pat Riley from Miami Heat, Fish said his loyality remains with the Lakers and Kobe. He and Kobe came into the league together and through good and bad, he says that Kobe has always stuck by his side, and asked him to stay on with the franchise.

Rihanna called Chris Breezy Brown after his BET performance, ole girl saw the way the Breezy was moving his hips in his tribute to the King of Pop, and got her all hot and bothered,made he want some more.

Academy Award winning actress Penelope Cruz and spanish actor Javier Bardem are now officially husband and wife!
The pair had a top-secret wedding ceremony in the beginning of July at a friend's house in the Bahamas, reps for the newly married couple announced. When I look at Penelope Cruz,I just know the sex has to be incredible...I'm Just Saying. Congrats and I'm kinda jealous!

Has been singer Michael Henderson is suing rapper Snoop Dogg for sampling his "Riding" which was sampled on Snoops 'Drop It Like It's Hot' single. Well in my opinion Henderson has a valid argument, but I think his beef would be more with Pharrell who produced the track.

No matter how the media try to spin it, you can deny this lady had us wrapped around her fingers and her voice touched a generation, and her record isn't over yet. I'm on Team Whitney Houston!!

Could it be that the world is finally catching up with my opinion on Rihanna, little hot mess tour is not selling out like everyone expected, ticket sales are so soft that she's had to cancel a large percent of the tour. Hmmm...I'm Just Saying and all of sudden Breezy is looking better and better!

Isn't Katy Perry's song California Gurls and Ke$ha's song Tik Tok the same exact song? that would explain why I love both songs so much. LOL

Joaquin Phoenix is rumored to be lead in the next installment of The Hulk...hey I thought he retired to become a folk band singer? Hmmm guess he quickly woke up and realized which side his bread was buttered on. At any rate, I for am sick of remakes. Hollywood step outside of the box.

When Z-listers get married I'm like who cares, and when they get divorced I'm like who cares, so I won't bore with too much further with this story on producer The Dream and his wifey singer Christina Milian, one minute he says they're together, the next minute he gets caught in photo's with his 'assistant' in the Caribbeans, then for damage control he says he and Christina have been separated in Dec 09, but Milian gave birth to their baby in February, now boys and girls do you see why it's not good to lie, because you can never really completely cover your tracks, so if I were you Christina I'd take the little bitch for all that he's worth.

Injustices in the courts today when celebrities are on trial, first Charlie Sheen barters against jail time for beating his wifey, hmmm but Chris Brown is viewed as an animal when he in fact did the same thing, BOTH are wrong, Roman Polanki has sex with a minor and flees the country, a hundred years later, he gets caught and a few short months later, he's released, now I'm waiting to say what happens to Lindsay Lohan on July 20Th when she's sent to do 90 days in jail, then another 90 in rehab....it's a watch, wait and see, but I already know how it's going down. I'm Just Saying...if it were any average citizen our a**es would be on lock down!

Yesterday on ABC's The View, co-host Whoopi Goldberg felt the need to defend actor Mel Gibson, she said that he is not racist, because she's had him over to her house before for dinner? Hmmm so what does that mean? Maybe he didn't think that she was black, after all it's not like she ever dates her own, but back to my point, Whoopi only Mel can really speak for Mel!

Usher's song 'There Goes My Baby' has been on the radio like forever and his RaymondVSRaymond 'the cover up' CD has been out for months, bruh the jig is up, you've released 5 singles, only one hit OMG thanks to Wil.I.Am , your CD isn't Thriller! Why the new video for "There Goes My Baby"(which premiered today), I've worked for record labels for almost 14 yrs, this was a bad move. My favorite is a song called "Pro Lover" and 'Daddy's Home' was tight too, but I didn't think the public was buying your 'all' man swag.

Speaking of Z-listers Jessica Simpson is preggers, just in case any of you out there cares.

My wifey singer Ciara's,"Basic Instinct" CD drops August 17Th, and I'm hoping that it's a banger, she lost steam with her last release, for the life of me I still can't believe "Love,Sex and Magic" with Justin Timberlake wasn't hit, that and Matty Knowles threatening radio to not give her air time so you know who could stay relevant. Yeah I said it, and it's true! You know his daughter also claims to write most of her material, wonder how Ne-Yo and Bangladesh feel about that.

Carmelo Anthony has finally made a honest woman out of the Latina radio personality La La this past weekend, with a who's who list of celebrities.
Country singer Carrie Underwood and Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher wed this weekend in Greensboro, Ga.
Another marriage that went down this weekend is actor Martin Lawrence married girlfriend Shamicka Gibbs in a couple ceremony in the actor's home in Beverly Hills. So congrats to happy couples.

Mel Gibson jumpoff continues to run her damn mouth, and has painted a very dark picture of the crazy actor, supposedly a taped leaked with the actor being his racist self, but ole girl said that she didn't do it...of course you didn't and I'm the King of England. Oksana Grigorieva says she never meant for those nasty Mel Gibson tapes to go public — and she says she has “no idea” who leaked them. Oksana wasn’t very talkative on all things Mel — but she did say that she didn’t want the tapes out there and she think “it’s terrible” So that tape gets leaked and his agent The William Morris Agency dropped him, so Mr. Gibson has not had a good week, next time keep your mouth shut and be more selective about who you give your love tool too, karma is a bitch, you probably shouldve stayed with YOUR wifey, you know the one you had a gazillion kids with, hmm I'm Just Saying..

R.I.P. to Bishop Walter Hawkins who passed away yesterday at the age of 61 from pancreatic cancer. His musical legacy enriched so many lives and his 'Oh Happy Day' is a gospel staple. May his soul rest in peace and my heart goes out to his family during their time of sorrow.

Anybody watched the Ochocinco Dating game last night? Another damn reality show, that shouldn't be on Television, but here were are again. Let me know what you thought of the show.

Dumbass rapper producer The Dream was caught in the Caribbeans with his jumpoff, while leaving his newlywed wifey Christina Milian and their baby at home. I'm sure that Christina will see all of her 'dreams' come true in court,because she's going to clean up.

Actor Rob Lowe will not be returning to ABC's hit show "Brothers and Sister" this season, instead he has bigger fish, he's buying Miramax...Rob Lowe and Colony Capital are close to inking a deal to by Miramax Studios from Walt Disney for several hundreds of millions of dollars. While Rob Lowe's involvement in this deal is unspecified at the present time, one would have to assume that his day-to-day involvement in film and television as an actor may be drawing to a rather unceremonious close.

Jesse Jackson the king self promotions, is now ranting on about the Cavaliers coach who recently bad mouth LeBron James for jumping ship to the Miami Heat and boy is going to be a smoking season, hopefully Derek Fisher and Shaq will join in to whomp on Kobe's ass, Jackson said that the coach statement regarded LeBron as a runaway slave, and I say Jesse if you don't 'sit your cheating ass' down and go get a 'real' job somewhere where your voice can be of use, like maybe at a drive thru window. UGH

Spinning/TGIF

Happy Friday everyone,
I'm amazed that time is spinning rapidly, week after week, the time is flying by, here we are in July, makes you question is this the end of days, and the old folks would always say, that 'we're' living in our last days. The fast pace is more about marketing technology into a by product culture, the food and nourishment's that we put into our system, the more we allow man to have his say, the more the world gets away from what is truly meant and felt. Seeking wisdom and expression from the creator, is a solid tool, but not always something that people will resort to.

The hereafter could be the right now, who's to say what we're really doing here, could it be that we are spinning our wheels, and maybe just idle in a galaxy that we're only merely visiting. People fear things that they don't understand. I truly believe that other forces and beings are coexisting on other planets, and I believe UFO's to be factual and not fiction. For some it's hard to wrap your mind around this thought pattern. As we sleep we dream, and in those dreams we're taken to another place, and when you think of sleep it's about replenishment, also it's a time to escape. I have a big head so I'm always thinking, and some thoughts are strange and can be viewed as weird, I say as long as you yearn for knowledge, being curious is the attribute and not the void.

My belief is that we are here to fellow our own path,spin your web and paint your canvas however you see fit and do not allow anyone to define who your are. however it plays out, you will learn valuable stories around ever corner the streets are endless, with journeys to unfold, when you're on your own path, you carry that control, you send out to the world, what you want to give, and perception is a valuable commodity.

Impatience is a trait a lot us suffer from, try to be still and in stillness appreciate the silence of the moment, in that moment, take in slow breaths let that process saturate your thoughts, traveling to new places can happen when you visualize unfamiliar territories, in journeying to a new place you come to discover things about yourself, perhaps you're great at geography or just a creative soul, or in that stillness of quiet, you may just discover that you're good company. What makes your path unique is that it's your own, and still the world is moving rapidly along you can have a say in how you arrive at your destination.

Lisa Stansfield giving her all for the love of soul music, her desire to cover soul music is a true tribute to the ones who have gone before her like Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Riatt and Teena Marie. I enjoyed this moment, and I hope that you will too.

Miami just got a whole lot HOTTER..............and that's ALL I'm SAYING!!!

So I was shocked to find out that actress Zoe Saldana is not african american, and gets insulted when someone assumes that she is african american, well boo how about you only accept Latina roles, and leave the door open for talented African American actresses.

Lindsay Lohan 90 day sentence could save her life, or worse case allowing her to have two weeks of freedom ,before she has to start her sentence. I would put her on suicide watch, if she doesn't try to leave the country, either way the next two weeks are going to be very interesting.

Producer Bangladesh didn't do his homework, remember in show business it's MOSTLY business, so hire the right lawyers and don't just sign on the dotted line, READ!! Bad business? The producer behind one of Lil Wayne’s biggest hits “A Milli” talks about not getting paid by Cash Money Records for the work he did on the album. Then he goes on to say how even Birdman’s 2-year olds are
wearing furs……so if ole boy comes up missing you'll know why! I'm Just Saying..

I got it bad for singer Keri Hilson, and it's ALL good. Everything I see her both every part of my body is at attention. She was @ the Essence Festival this weekend looking all kinds of lovely.

The Steve McNair murder one year later smells just as fishy as it did then. They say suicide, and I'm NOT buying it,only God and the 'real' killer knows what happened. I'm still puzzled and bothered by this.

R&B singer Mary J. Blige recently got her GED and will be attended Howard University in the fall. Ain't nothing like furthering your education, and it's never to late.

SMH @ Mel Gibson’s baby momma Oksana Grigorieva – mother of his months old daughter has released tapes to the court of an angry argument she had with the actor/producer where he said some rather derogatory things. Oksana currently has a restraining order, but according to reports is still fearing for her safety after splitting with Mel. Read an excerpt of the tape recording below:
You’re an embarrassment to me. You look like a fucking pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault.
“How dare you act like such a bitch when I have been so fucking nice.”
“I am going to come and burn the fucking house down… but you will blow me first.”
“Look what you did to me… look what you are… look what every part of you is… fucking fake… fucking fake. You are the most synthetic person… who the fuck are you?”
If he ranted and carried on about the jews last time, I guess he can say anything and get away with it, in Hollyweird if your have enough money and your skin tone is right...I'm Just Saying!!

Rapper/Actor Drake postponed his European tour to be there for his moms, she's having a serious surgical procedure that wasn't disclosed. My heart and prayers goes out to the family, I know first hand what that battle can be like, and it's not pretty.

The Twilight Saga:Eclipse was the #1 movie @ The Box Office this weekend raking in over 69 million dollars, slight off expectations.

CORRECTION.....Tiger Wood's ex-wifey will receive 100 million dollars as oppose the the 750 million dollars that I originally reported. Now he can nail anyone he so chooses and of course you can be she's going to be Caucasian.

Weekend craziness, rapper Snoop Dogg was photographed with some bimbo kissing his neck, and yes before you ask he is still married. A Private Jet was carrying Comedian Dave Chappelle was force to make an emergency landing in Pittsburgh last night because the pilot couldn’t handle Chappelle’s erratic behavior, A source extremely familiar with the incident said Chappelle boarded a private jet in New Jersey last night bound for Ohio — where the actor lives. During the flight, allegedly Dave “freaked out” and refused to put his seat belt on. Then — Dave repeatedly walked into the cockpit, asking how much longer the flight would be, and started grabbing the pilot’s arms.
The pilot determined Chappelle was a safety risk and diverted the plane to Pittsburgh.

Basketball great Lebron James is a hot commodity....After three days being romanced by six NBA teams, a few billionaires, coaches, executives, hip hop’s biggest star, and fixating the sports world on his every move, LeBron James got behind the wheel of his customized car and drove home.
Only he knows where he’s going next.
James concluded his personal free-agent summit on Saturday by hearing presentations from the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose pitch focused on his familiarity with their franchise and tickled his sense of humor, and the Chicago Bulls, the last team and the one believed to have the best chance of stealing him from Ohio.The meetings are over.
The guessing game has begun. The ball is in James’ court. The Cavs came away from their 90-minute sit down with a renewed confidence that James will re-sign with them Get the money LeBron!

Janet Jsckson rocked the Essence Festival in New Orleans with her first concert in several years and Miss Jackson if your nasty didn't miss a beat, this time our rocking her short do, and revealing lot of leg, which is something she's usually not comfortable showing.

Celebrity Rehab might finally get an actual celebrity who actually needs rehab!
Sources say that the producers of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew are wooing grand slam Tennis champion Jennifer Capriati to join their current lackluster Z-list cast and are willing to hand her a hefty paycheck if she agrees to sign. The tennis star is currently recuperating after an accidental overdose of prescription meds last month.
This would be great news for the show as they've had trouble getting a big name to star along with Tila Tequila, Jason Wahler, and Shauna Sand. These damn reality shows kill me, because it's NEVER any legit stars, all bargain basement ho bags.

Singer Katy Perry is such a big fan of the Television show "Glee" that she's asked her fans to start a FB petition to get her on the show.

Heather Locklear has just successfully completed a 30-day stint inpatient rehab program to help her kick a prescription drug habit.
Sources say that "she's doing great" and that her decision to seek treatment had nothing to do with her hit-and-run accident with a "No Parking" sign back in April. I'm puzzled here, so if you've been on script drugs for years, wouldn't it take more than 30 days to get clean? I'm Just Saying...

Congrats to Wimbledon champions Serena Williams and Rafa Nadal, both defended their crowns to take the women and mens Wimbledon trophies.

Serena's 13th Grand Slam win @ Wimbledon!

Serena Williams, the top-seed and defending champion, dominated Russia’s Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-2 to win her fourth Wimbledon crown.
The 28-year-old did not drop a set in the tournament and now sits alone in sixth place with 13 majors, one ahead of Billie Jean King.
No. 21 Zvonareva, playing in her first Grand Slam final, held off the top-ranked American’s vaunted power early on.
Leading 4-3, Wiliams buried a backhand return into the net on her second break point. Disgust filled her face.
Two points later, she ripped a running crosscourt forehand past the outstretched Zvonareva at net and broke into a fist-pump on one knee to take a 5-3 lead.
Williams then broke Zvonareva, the second-lowest-ranked player to make a Wimbledon final (Venus was ranked 31st when she won in 2007), twice more to run out the second set.
With nine Wimbledons between them (Venus with five, Serena with four), the Williams family monarchy has owned the All England Club for nine of the past 11 years.
Williams has won five of the last eight majors starting with the 2008 U.S. Open.
Williams had never beaten anyone other than her older sister in the Wimbledon championship match. She defeated Venus in the 2002, 2003 and 2009 finals, and Venus won the all-sister showdown in 2008.
Williams appeared determined, from the start of the fortnight, to bring home another championship.
“She’s a little meaner and more determined,” her mother and coach, Oracene Price, said the day before the final. “She’ll do anything to get the ball over the net.”Her serve was a weapon throughout. Williams entered the final with a tournament-record 80 aces, and she added nine more in the final. Zvonareva never even got a break point in the match.
Williams won all seven matches in straight sets and was taken to tiebreakers only twice, in the fourth round against Maria Sharapova and in the semifinals against Petra Kvitova.
Williams’ victory ends a tournament filled with surprises on the women’s side, and the success of the hard-hitting Russian ranks right up there with the relentless sunshine. Long regarded as an underachiever prone to self-destruction, Zvonareva beat former No. 1s Kim Clijsters and heifer Jelena Jankovic en route to the final. She also teamed with Elena Vesnina to beat the top-ranked Williams sisters in the quarterfinals of doubles.
Zvonareva, whose best previous showing at a major was the 2009 Australian Open semifinals, has popped in and out of the top-10 for years but is perhaps best known for her magnificent meltdowns.
After coming back from a serious ankle injury last year, the 25-year-old talent is learning to manage her volcanic emotions. She has kept her head under a towel during changeovers and, despite a reputation for fading in big matches, has taken care of business.
Until Saturday. She couldn’t take care of business against Williams, who will enter the U.S. Open in August favored to claim her third Grand Slam title of the season.
Congratulations Serena

Change/TGIF

Happy Independence Day Weekend Everyone,

As one door closes, certainly another one opens, this time its challenges will be greeted with greater rewards, it's your belief that will allow this to come into fruition. Channeling your inner strength are tools gifted to you. Without change habits in which are bad, form and like any mold its unwanted residue to boggle you down. Unfortunately the masses opt against change, even those who are perplexed and seek answers, often will seek advice but rarely listen to it, situations are fitting for only those poor me moments, often times I come away emotionally drained.

Giving your all to others is an overwhelming selfish expectation put on you. Who holds your truth? Of course we all know the answer to that, I've created a friendship/family group that supports my endeavors and who will check me when I'm wrong or out of line, not always being something that I want to hear, but it keeps everything honed and on the page. It’s an ugly truth, but more people are followers with no real sense of self, trying to please others for a false temporary satisfaction.

Ironically few people really know how to stay true, standing up for what you believe in, is a gift and a curse, I say be prepared for a lonelier existence but a deeper love and respect from the masses. In my quest for knowledge, it begins in my prayers as I always ask for revelation, if you're to lead there can be no ambiguity at all, having the wherewithal is the only solid solution to constant forwards in your movement and those situational circles that qualify your worthy attentions, as life fundamental achievement is growth. With change as a new beginning, even the unfamiliar is a reward.

Happy Fourth of July Weekend to everyone and a special appreciation shout goes out to President Obama and our First Lady Michelle Obama, for doing an amazing job of holding our country together in spite of the odds, slowly looks like things are turning around.

Former NFL QB for teams like the Philadelphia Eagles, Randall Cunningham, faced tragic news yesterday. The Eagles Hall of Famer turned minister's two year old son Christian drowned in the family's hot tub Tuesday night in Las Vegas. God be with their family, this is so tragic.

Janet Jackson graces the August addition of Essence Magazine, nothing new inside the article, but she looks hot, so I guess it's worth it.

Actress Zoe Saldana of movies like 'Drumline and Avatar' is engaged to a white boy, yes a WHITE boy, and has mostly kept quiet about her relationship with the 33-year-old actor and CEO of My Fashion Database. The couple have been together for ten years. Congrats kids!!

Singer Jennifer Hudson will talk at length about the murders of her mother, brother and nephew in her episode of "Behind the Music," which on VH1. The star’s mother Darnell Donerson and brother Jason Hudson were discovered shot dead at Donerson’s home in Chicago in October 2008. The body of Julian King, 7, was found three days later in a car.
William Balfour – the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister Julia – has been charged with the murders.
The "Behind the Music" episode will also chart Hudson’s rise from "American Idol" contestant to Grammy-winning singer and Oscar-winning actress, as well as focusing on her life with fiance David Otunga and their son David Jr.

Rapper Eminem continues his rap legacy as his new "Recovery" CD moved over 741,000 copies easily making it the largest debut of the year. He has flow I must admit, but I don't get the hype of him.

As I reported here some time back, it's official Tiger Woods gold digging soon to be ex-wife is going to clean up in the divorce settlement 750 million dollars buys her silence...
"Elin is desperate to protect the children from the womanizing side of their father. Tiger's main fear is her telling her story after he's rebuilt his reputation, sending him back to the gutter. Elin's legal team have done a great job digging up all sorts of assets.
"The price of the huge sum is her silence: no interviews, tell-all books, or TV appearances about this for the rest of her life — even if Tiger dies first — or she'll lose the lot. Everything's signed. Elin is ready to file for divorce at Orlando County Court. She expects to in the next seven days." Tiger's a better man than me, I wouldve let the wifey run her damn mouth and I would keep my damn money, but that's just me, I'm Just Saying. What could she tell us that we haven't already heard?

So what does George Clooney, Alicia Keys, Jodie Foster, Ellen and Trey Songz all have in common? Get back to me when you have the answer. LOL

Facebook is all the rage, it's like a high school reunion, with the exception of random posts from people informing you about their day to day 'schedule and opinions' I rather like it. Singer Bono must like FB too he's dumping his $$$$$ in there. Bono and execs at his business Elevation Partners have invested another 80 million into Facebook, bringing the total to 140 million. The company was able to buy shares from insiders on the secondary market.

Singer Monica and actress Vivica A. Fox had a little verbal cat bashing after Sunday nights BET Awards, apparently Vivica didn't approve of Monica's outfit, and as much as I love Monica, I was in agreeance with vivica, soooory Mo:) Still got love for you. Monica basically told Vivica to concentrate on getting her plastic surgery right...meow!

NBA baller Kenyon Martin broke it off with rapper Trina. Trina and Kenon were going STRONG and were MADLY IN LOVE . . . and then a few weeks ago Kenyon just DUMPED HER OUT OF THE BLUE!!!

"She thought they were going to be together forever...(I'm like "forever ever" c'mon now Trina that only works in movies ). . it was so out of the blue and done in such a COLD manner." Hang in there "Trina you're a strong woman this is going to take you some time to heal, but you will get through this."
