Celebs Out & About
Kelly Rowland had a birthday party last night in Hollywood and her former group members showed up.
You can tell times are hard because Beyonce showed her face. There is no way she would be there if she wasn’t so desperate for some attention right now.

1,000 Obama Supporters Line Up For Federal Jobs
A line of job hopefuls estimated at 1,000 snaked around the Sam Nunn Federal Center in downtown Atlanta today — even though no hiring and no interviews were taking place.
According to the AJC, the job seekers stood in line for hours to attend a federal job fair where information and flyers were being passed out.
“It’s sad that all these people, many of them out of work, are in this line,” said Russell Lohr, 37. “It’s definitely a sign of bad times.” [LINK]

Michelle Obama Covers Vogue
Michelle Obama Covers the March 2009 issue of U.S. Vogue. She follows in the footsteps of previous First ladies who graced the cover of Vogue.
I hope this issue sells well for Vogue or this might be the last Vogue to feature a First Lady on its cover.
Chris Brown Once Threw Dishes At His Mama
I hate to keep bringing up old drama, but loyal member donnia points out that, according to Life & Style magazine, the police had to be called to a Miami hotel room to break up a fight between Chris Brown and his own his mom back in 2007.
At an unnamed hotel in Miami in 2007, police were called to Chris’ hotel room where the singer had been “screaming and throwing dishes.”
“He was fighting with his mom. Neighboring hotel guests alerted security and they came upstairs to the room, saw the broken dishes and the mess, and then asked his mother to leave the room. Police were then called, but charges were not filed as Chris simply paid the hotel bill and left the hotel.” [LINK]
Now this would be right around the time that mama Brown was allegedly telling friends about that alleged steamy relationship between young Chris and his 30-something manager. [LINK]
Mom was on a mission to break that up but she couldn’t fire the manager due to her ironclad contract with Chris.
Officer Suspended For Emailing Obama Mugshots
An Iowa State trooper was suspended for 30 days for emailing mugshots showing petty criminals wearing Barack Obama t-shirts.
Let me emphasize that the officer was off duty and in the privacy of his own home when he emailed the popular photos to friends.
What is this world coming to when a man can’t share a joke with his buddies without losing his right to support himself and his family?
The full story is here.
Slow Speed Bentley Driver Was From Chicago (It Figures)
We now know the identity of the driver of the white Bentley who led officers on a 3-hour slow speed chase all over LA before taking his own life with a single shot to the head.
According to Chicagobreakingnews.com, the dead man’s name was Mustafa “Moe” Mustafa of Chicago. At one time, Moe, who was originally from Pakistan, owned a lucrative business renting luxury vehicles for as much as $3,500 a day to vain celebs such as Knaye West and Sean Combs.
The day after the Grammy Awards, Moe led more than a dozen police cruisers on a slow speed chase along the scenic route through Los Angeles. The caravan sometimes hit top speeds of 40 mph.
The drama ended when Moe stopped the Bentley in the middle of the street, put a gun to his head and fired a bullet into his brain.
A photo of Moe with his close cropped beard sitting behind the wheel of the $100,000 Bentley, caused some to speculate that he was DJ Khaled, another Pakistani out of Miami, who is famous for his compilation hit, “We Takin’ Over” featuring celebs such as Akon, T.I., and Lil Wayne.
Family members say Moe had a girlfriend who lived in LA. They say it was an argument with her that sparked the tragic incident.
Thanks to loyal reader Kenneth Thompson for the tip!
A PHOTOSHOPPED MESS!
Whoever Photoshopped this image needs to keep their day job. This is horrible. I could have done much better and I’m not even a graphic artist!
