Video: NOW I see why Halle won that Oscar (NOT WORK SAFE!)
*NOT WORK SAFE!*
Before today I never knew why Halle Berry won that Oscar for her role in “Monster’s Ball.” I never saw the movie, but I’ve seen Halle try to act her way out of paper bags in other movies.
Thanks to the good folks on Thecrusade.net, I got the chance to see once and for all what all the hooplah was about.
I must agree that this was an Oscar worthy performance by Hally Berry – who took faking an orgasm to a whole ‘nother level! On the other hand, Billy Bob Thornton was a bore. Halle could have done this scene by herself and she still would have won the Oscar. 
Fan Mail: A Sista just had to have these shoes
Loyal reader Leah sent along this photo of a woman who just had to have these shoes that are two sizes too small!
Video: Jay Z Hates the Paparazzi
Loyal reader Shanta points out in an email that Jay Z seems surly and moody ever since he tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Beyonce. In this video from TMZ.com, Jay Z kirks out on a paparazzi who dares to ask him about his wife Bey. “You know better than that!,” snaps the aging mogul.
It seems Beyonce and Jay Z have grown wary of all the attention they get. So maybe it’s time for us to leave them alone? It’s funny that when celebs are on the come up they are so hungry for whatever exposure they can get. But once they reach the pinnacle of success they forget where they came from or how they got there. This is why I have no respect for those two and I will continue to clown them mercilessly.

Okay, the founder of Sugarhill Records, Sylvia Robinson, was the first female music mogul. But R&B chanteuse Keyshia Cole is the new female mogul doing big things in the 08!
According to a source close to Keyshia’s camp, Keyco is in the process of gearing up for The Movie of Her Life which is scheduled for a Christmas ’09 release. Keyshia will be a producer on the film along with Jimmy Iovine, boss of Interscope Records.
Iovine also produced 50 Cents‘ “Get rich or die Trying” and Eminem‘s critically acclaimed movie “8 Miles”. Iovine and others involved with the film project believe KC’s movie will definitely make History!
Keyshia also formed an additional company under her already existing umbrella of companies. The new company will focus on publishing books, TV shows, and managing writers and producers.
KC is currently in a West Coast studio working on her 3rd album which is slated for a Dec/Christmas ’08 Release. Watch out people, the new Young Female Mogul is Running her OWN empire!
Video: Phatfffat declares war on Sandrarose.com
Earlier today, I posted a YouTube video of a promising young talent on the rise in the ATL by the name of Phatfffat, real name Dondria Nicole. I first heard about her through a friend over at Empire Ent. who told me that Jermaine Dupri had signed a female singer who was Tha Truth.
I wrote a very nice compliment about Phatfffat in my earlier post. But as I type this, Phatfffat is mobilizing her army of fans and is declaring war against us. Go figure *shrugs*
Will Phatfffat be able to handle the criticism later on in her career when the big time music critics give their unbiased opinions of her? I doubt it if she’s crumbling under the pressure now.
Thanks to loyal reader Jaclyn Jones for the tip!
