Video: T-Boz gets fired from Celebrity Apprentice
I stopped watched The Apprentice years ago. Does anyone still watch this show?
Look who sneaked into Iraq today



Barack Obowma and his 500-person entourage made an unannounced foray into Iraq today before flying back home to the White House. There’s nothing unusual about Obowma sneaking into Iraq: Bush did it frequently. Would you give advanced notice that you were headed to Iraq?
Obowma made a show of greeting the troops and taking photo ops. But you and I both know that meeting the troops isn’t the only reason he’s there. Obowma is on a mission to create a new world order where the balance of power will be shifted to the middle east sometime before 2012.
He plans to meet with the Iraqi president today, and you can bet there won’t be any cameras present to record his bowing and scraping.

Is Bow Wow’s latest studio effort New Jack City II, a monumental flop? Is it true that he only sold 18,000 copies in one week? Where are all his fans? Well, at least he’s still got YouTube to fall back on.

New Music: Brandy – Love Me the Most

Another yawner from Brandy. “Love Me the Most” is produced by B. Cox. This song is very uninspiring and her voice sounds flatter than usual. Brandy should just hang up her earphones, exit the sound booth and concentrate on raising her child. Maybe during her hiatus she will find the inspiration to come back and reclaim her former glory.

Source: Russell Simmons struggling to save his investment in Global Grind?

According to an inside source at GlobalGrind.com, the Internet portal start-up is struggling to stay afloat.
Word is, Russell Simmons has either fired or lost half of his initial support staff, including Navarrow Wright and Kim Osorio (who went back to BET last year). “At this point, Russell is trying to save his investment,” said the source, who predicted GG “won’t be around next year.”
The source said Global Grind contributors and staff have not been paid, leading to disgruntled staff leaving comments on tech blogs. According to Angela Benton of BlackWeb2.0, Simmons recently took over the day-to-day operations of Global Grind as editor-in-chief from Wright after the two men disagreed loudly over how the opration should be run.
According to Benton, Simmons leveraged “his celeb contacts for content. In most cases to the detriment of the product.” Simmons also hired popular celebrity bloggers such as Necole Bitchie to write content for Global Grind.
Simmons is said to have sunk close to $5 million in investments into the property. Simmons’ brother Rev. Run also invested a considerable amount of his own money into Global Grind. He stressed over his decision to invest and leaned on his wife Justine for investment advice during an episode on his popular series of Run’s House last year.
