Ludacris also attended the gala in NYC. Def Jam announced the release of Ludacris’ new “Theatre of the Mind” album and Kanye West’s “808s & Heartbreak” a day early to take advantage of the busy Thanksgiving shopping weekend. And because Jeezy and Ne-Yo’s albums both flopped which put LA Reid and the late Shakir Stewart in the hot seat with the higher ups at Island/Def Jam.
Everybody’s favorite TV drug dealer Jamie Hector attended Gotham Magazine’s Annual Gala in NYC last night. Hector played the psychopath “Marlo” in HBO’s acclaimed series “The Wire.”

Did Bey put on a corsette(sp)and remember her butt pads all in the same day? The pic looks weird.
Nothing slick to say about Bey OR Jay?!?!? I’m shocked!!! Bey looks very statuesque, though.
MARLO!!! I’m mad that The Wire is no longer on HBO!!!!
amulet you in here? i left you a message in the ciara post.
Jamie Hector………..my nigga Marlo was cold as hell on the Wire(Greatest tv show on Earth………also President Obama’s favorite show…….
DANG JEEZY AND NEYO’S ALBUM’S BOTH FLOPPED?
Kwallace, I left you one too. lol
Go head’ Beyonce. . .you got another hit on your hands. . .DESPITE WHAT ALL THE HATERS SAID. HA!!!
Look how she arching her back.
Go Beyonce.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! BEYONCE IS WEARING THAT DRESS OUUUUUUWWWWWWWWT!
Who painted HOV’s lip purple? His lips ain’t purple, ya’ll play too much!
And Finally…
Auntie Sandra…Auntie Sandra, you must’ve caught on that I have to say all positive things for the next 24 hours. Why would you try and sabotage my valiant efforts with that picture of Marlo?
You just ain’t right, woman!
*ummmm* *cough* Marlo’s hair looks nice…
The dress is banging. I don’t like her hair with the dress. Jigga needs a hair cut.
When you get everything you want in life does it become boring?…
See what happened to my A$$ when I spent to much time alone.
@Candi Apple,
I wonder do they get bored to?
That dress is horrid, material looks cheap and those earings a hot mess - channel or not -She is such a pretty girl..she needs to get rid of mama tina as her stylist and pay for some better style advise…jeez
Jay Z is looking better and better…damn!
Luda is so damn cute and clean cut…I wish he was a little bit taller since he already a baller
Jamie hector…I loved his character in the wire…found his bad boy-ness hot!
^^^^chanel
jay z looks dirty and ty ty looks like an alien…damn, luda (i had to do a double-take) looking kinda sexy there…i never got into the wire…i know a bunch of people who liked it and a LOT of people who hated it…thought it was sooooooo phony
bey security be on it!
But Auntie, didnt you notice the “sideye” the guys were giving Bey as she posed? Hilarious!
bey’s first day sales are bananas…i wanna know how each album did though…i can’t wait to see her first week sales…
That ain’t no side eye…
HE’S LOOKING DIRECTLY AT HER BUTT!
ole obvious nukka
Is gold good for a artist of Beyonce status? I’m just asking bc Wanye sold a milli in a week and I would assume Bey has more fans than Wanye.
She looks grown..
Jay always looks good to me. Sexy azz voice. But those shades are too dark for inside.
Luda is so yesterday to me. Only liked his colabo’s anyhow. Not a strong rapper @ all.
AFTER THIS WEEK I WANT O KNOW THE ACTUAL NUMBERS ON THAT CD. I HEAR ITS GARBAGE.
@DB:
But him dont look like he like girls. (in my baby’s voice)
@ PAGESINADIARY
You heard wrong!
It matters not…gay guys are the first ones to give you props is you deserve it!
He prolly thinkin to himself *I wish my azz looked like that*
*if* you deserve it! Excuse me…
@iscream: sandra posted the ONE day sales not the week sales…i doubt she’ll hit a million though…
With illegal downloading and leaking
500-1 million is astronomical!
HERMOSA, DID YOU BUY YOUR COPY? ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY WENT TO GET IT BUT THEY WERE SOLD OUT. NOBODY EXCEPT FOR WAYNE HAS DONE A MILLION IN THE FIRST WEEK. I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THAT ONE HAPPENED.
I like Jay with hair….lol he always sits like that…it looks really uncomfortable…. *laughing quietly cause i just tried it in my office chair*….nope not comfortable for me.
MUNCHO - HE USED THAT SUITCASE FULL OF MONEY TO DO IT…
THEN A WEEK LATER HE RETURNED THEM…. AS MS. SOPHIA WOULD SAY… HE NOW HAS MINUS A MILLION SOLD…
@MUNCHOSGIRL: you mean this year, right?
NOBODY EXCEPT FOR WAYNE HAS DONE A MILLION IN THE FIRST WEEK.
@ MUNCHOS
Well, I downloaded it from Itunes yesterday and I was going to go to circuit city today to get it. Now I’m scurred I ain’t gonna get my copy, F*CK!
I think Lil Wayne sold alot of copies bc it was much anitcipated. People were waitng on long time for that cd and Lollipop was a big hit. It helped him cross over into pop radio.
JEEZY ALBUM WAS NOT A FLOP DANG SANDRA WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INFO FROM OR DO YOU JUST MAKE IT UP AS YOU GO, LAST TIME I CHECKED IT WAS GOLD.
Thanks too sexy, cause I love,love, love that album!
YEAH, BLOGGERGIRLZ, THAT IS WHAT I MEANT.

HERMOSA, IT IS THE DELUXE VERSION THAT IS SCARCE. THE REGULAR VERSION YOU MAY HAVE LUCK.
I wanted to get her CD yesterday, but the Circuit City is goign out of business so they had no new shipments. I’ll try Traget this evening but if it is sold out I’ll just wait until it goes on sell again. In other words, I’ll have it by Christmas
I’m also going to get Slim’s CD of the group 112!
550K is NOT impressive! With all that promotion and her so-called “brand”, she should be moving at least 900K+.
Ummmm okay..
First of all, I rushed to the store to get Sasha Fierce.
Me and this **** Beyonce gon have words over this CD. 10 songs? 10 mu’fuggin songs?
This has to be a $14 practical joke!
AM I Being punked?
The phuck is this ****. She plans on re-releasing this CD obviously.
I’m sorry but I don’t love this CD! I hate saying that but I’ma keep it true!
Damn, I’m hurt over this ****ery she done put out!
Diva is my favorite!
DIVINE YOU SHOULD HAVE GOT THE DELUXE EDITION $13.88-$14.88. YOU SHOULD HAVE WENT TO WALMART. BETTER PRICE IF YOU WERE GOING TO GET THE STANDARD EDITION $9.97. THE DELUXE EDITION
Sandra Pray changes things.. Nothing extra to say about Beyonce or Jay-Z. LOL you didn’t even call them Camel and beyaki or Beyawnnnnnnne LOL.. I loved Marlo(Cold as Ice)!
Beyonce’s #;s arent really progressing, this is about the same amount Bday did in its first week. Alicia Keys did $750k in her first week, Ghetto ass Wayne did $1m in his first week so why does Beyonce have low sales? Beyonce has to keep re-releasing albums, and video anthologies in order to make up the #’s. Not to mention that fans purchased more than one album which means the number of people who actually purchased the album are low. The album is garbage and people were not looking for what she released. Also, its known that labels purchase albums or cause double scans when an album is purchased. Rihanna outsold BDay, something is wrong!
Britney Spears will be out in 2 weeks I think she really will sale more than $600k, I listened to her album and it is hot, Beyonce’s album has nothing on Britney, Beyonce only has two nice non ghetto songs on her album and those are Halo and Disappear….Britney has 7 bangers on the album, R&B and pop.
maybe bey’s cd will grow on me, but the “i am” side sounds like a bunch of country songs, and “sasha fierce” is more upbeat, but it’s still only about 3 songs that i’m feeling. i guess i’ll see how i feel after listening to it a few more times. i do like the song where she’s bragging though!
morning family .. and auntie wake up dag on it !!
MORNING KYM!!!!
Hey Barbie !!!
Auntie need to wake it on UP !!
luda looks nice.
am i the only person in the world who has never watched the wire ? lol
Good Mornin fam!
Kym…you be disappearin’!
Barbie…Good talk yesterday, LMAO!!
morn fam.
nope @licia. i never got into it. i had cinemax and showtime for years and by the time i got the channel it came on (hbo) it was well underway….
Good Morning Fam!
@fam… mullet thinks we gang up on her (or him? idk).
also thinks i am crazy. am i crazy? i know maybe a lil over the top sometimes… but crazy comes across on the computer screen??
just asking?
kwall by the time i found out about the show it was already on BET . i didn’t know it was even on hbo or any other channel. lol
Weeezy!!!!
Do I still have to be good today?
I think I should be pardoned..
kw i think you all are crazy in a good way . i get a good laugh when i need it.
well i tried watching it on BET but of course it is censored. it originally aired all episodes on HBO. then BET got the rights to re-air.
you are pardoned dbrown. i know i can’t censor you.
i think mullet may still sore from the verbal altercation that went down with our barbie the other day. and i gotta stop with the mullet….it’s amulet. i am gonna be nice to all the newbies. that is my thanksgiving resolution.
LICIA - I NEVER GOT INTO IT AS WELL.
DIVINE - INDEED IT WAS.
KWALL - SHE CLEARLY STATED YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE WHAT YOU DISH OUT. THEREFORE, IF SHE CAN THROW IT - SHE BETTER BE ABLE TO CATCH IT. NET AND ALL!
THE OTHER DAY WHEN I MADE THE BRANDY COMMENT I DIDN’T ATTACK MULLET. SHE CAME AT ME ALL SIDEWAYS. IF SHE DID SEE ME BEFORE, I AM CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO SAY - I AM BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT. SO I SAY THAT TO SAY THIS - I LEARNED THAT WHEN PPL TALK BAD ABOUT YOU, IT ONLY MEANS THEY ARE INSECURE ABOUT THEMSELVES.
AS WE ALL DO, WE TALK SHYT ABOUT EVERYONE - DOES THAT MAKE US BAD PPL? NO, WE MAY HAVE DIFFERENCES BUT DO WE REALLY STOOP THAT LOW TO TRY TO ATTACK ANOTHER PERSON WE CALL FAMILY? THAT SHYT FOR THE BIRDS, CAUSE TRUST AND BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND ALOT OF PPL WHO HIDE BEHIND A SCREEN AND WONT SAY THE SHYT TO YOUR FACE. AND IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO SAY IT TO ME, PERSONALLY, THEY KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME…. SINCE THEY DID SO MUCH RESEARCH IN THE FIRST PLACE.
OK…SO I KNOW IM GOING ON AND ON…BUT I BELIEVE U GET MY DRIFT!!! LOL
I LOVE MY BYTCHES, I LOVE ALL MY BYTCHES… I GOTS TO LOVE MY BYTCHES…CAUSE IM A PIMP…MY BYTCH MAKES ME RICH!!! (YOU KNOW THE REST)
O AND KWALL - NO I DONT THINK U ARE CRAZY, I THINK YOU ARE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY!!!!

LOL @! Divine .. I see you a Chappelle True Hollywood Story Junkie too … lol .. lol
Charlie Murphy can get it !! .. lol
LMAO!!!
I love him!!!!
@Kwallace, When I said you were crazy, I did not mean it like that. I only said it so that you could get off my back. I said that you were a cool person.
@BlackBarbie, You caught me in a mood. I know Brandy doesn’t like it when people talk about how she looks so I always take up for people who can’t defend themselves. I said before that I was sorry. Again sorry for hurting you feelings.
I naturally hate cliques cause I feel cliques team up on people and act childish and are filled with people who are too afraid to stand on their own.
I am an individual and I’m very argumentative with people, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like them at the end of the day. (I usually like them more)
I did not know that you guys take this so seriously. Nothing I say offensively is to hurt anybody personally to their soul just as when you guys talk mess it’s not to hurt the celebrity.
We do not see each other and sometimes I’m just blowing off steam from something else around me.
At the end of the day when you go home this should not be something still bothering you.
@Barbie,
I Love Poision Clan too….(Reminds me of my Pac Jam Dayzzz.
lol @ Beyonce’s bodyguard…the expression…the stance…no words.
