NOBODY CARES
Nobody cares about Jay Z’s old azz or Chris Brown’s forgotten azz. Both of them can do us all a favor and leave the entertainment business entirely since neither of them are relevant anymore. Was that harsh? Well, sometimes the truth can be harsh.
PICS: Whitney Houston “I Look To You” Listening Party in NYC
Last night, pop legend Whitney Houston thrilled and regaled the industry elite at a listening party for her sixth studio album “I Look To You.” The J/RCA Records listening event at the Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC was well attended by everyone from Alicia Keys to Martha Stewart. The only one missing was me because a RCA rep repeatedly hung up on me when I requested credentials to cover the event. The rep kept asking who I was as if she’d never heard of me before. That’s fine with me since I’m not trying to be famous anyway.
Whitney pretended to be excited to see singer Alicia Keys. We wish we could read her mind to see what she was really thinking.

Barack Obama’s Ratings Sliding South
It’s hard being a Kool Aid sipping Barack Hussein Obama cheerleader these days.
Since February, BHO’s ratings have slid sharply — dropping 12 percentage points — since Americans figured out that he is nothing but a jive talking snake oil salesman.
Tonight, Obama faces the toughest challenge of his 7-month presidency when he goes before the nation to push his lame duck health care reform bill that nobody wants.
Obama, a true narcissist in every sense of the word, has effectively shielded himself against the naysayers who predict his health care reform bull will not pass.
Obama is even ignoring members of his own Democratic party who oppose the bill because he thinks he is The One.
The public attitude toward Messiah Obama and Congress is reflected in the major polls which show that Americans disapprove of the way he is handling the economy.
Americans are tired of Obama ramming costly bills through Congress without bothering to read them first. They are also wary of Obama’s empty promises and his outright lies.
Unemployment within the black community is at an all-time high. Obama’s Porkulus spending bill didn’t put a dent in the unemployment numbers nationally as he promised it would. In fact the numbers are fast approaching double digits for the first time in 3 decades!
Yet Obama wants members of the House to vote on a health care reform bill in 2 weeks that will certainly result in even more job losses.
Enough is enough!
PICS: Carmelo Anthony, Fabolous, Trey Songz and Diego Cash at Velvet Room
I’m not feeling this style worn by NBA baller Carmelo and his boy, rapper Diego Cash at the Velvet Room this past Sunday.
I was told not to mention the words “suspect” or “How U doin” in regards to the old school culottes ‘Melo is sportin’. I was also told not to go in on them for dressing alike right down to the faux diamond pendants. So I won’t mention any of that.

FanMAIL: Where Does Monica Purchase Her Vintage Shades?
Every now and then my loyal readers email me inquiring about where R&B Diva Monica purchases her vintage Porsche, Gucci and Burberry stunna shades.
In the past, I couldn’t answer that question since Mo was so busy putting the finishing touches on her album. But yesterday, while out & about, I ambled into the ultra trendy Moda404 Men’s Boutique on Pharr Road in Buckhead and ran into co-owner Kwessi (pictured above with Monica) who informed me that regular customers Monica, Devyne Stephens and Usher often cop their vintage shades at his boutique.
As a matter of fact, Monica recently visited Moda404 and snapped up the last pair of off-white vintage Burberry hater blocker shades that I wanted.
The prices range from $250-$1000 for these one-of-a-kind shades that are purchased in Italy and other far flung places around the world.
If you own a pair of vintage shades from Moda404, you are guaranteed not to see anyone else in the Atlanta wearing them!
Moda404 Men’s Boutique is located at 254 Pharr Road, below the Eclipse condos in Buckhead. Store hours are Mon-Sat: 12pm to 10pm or Sunday by appointment only. Call (404) 869-3398 for more info.
Disclaimer: This is not a paid advertisement, nor did I receive compensation in the form of merchandise. I’m doing this for the love because me and Kwessi go way back!
Beyonce Blesses Chicago fan with wet towel
I know that my regular readers don’t care about Beyonce, but I found this clip interesting. Beyonce surprised a fan at the United Center by wiping down her grill and throwing her wet towel at him.
Obviously, the guy is gay since those are the only “men” who attend Bey concert’s nowadays.
Akon is not a dead beat dad
According to Drew Reports, Akon has accepted his financial responsibilities for his son born to a sister of Ugandan fashion designer Sylvie Owori.
The mother, Susan Owori, whom Akon knocked up while on tour last year, apparently couldn’t get in contact with the Senegalese singer to serve him with papers. So she did what any other self-respecting groupie who happened to get herself pregnant by a Superstar would do — she sold her story to a tabloid.
“I think kids are a blessing,” said the currently married sex symbol. “[To set the record straight], I never ran away from my responsibilities and I never plan to. Everything I am doing now is for [my other five kids] anyway, so the more kids I can have, the better. I just love them.”
Beaming with pride, Akon said, “It’s a boy and he’s handsome as hell.”
