Celebs Out & About
Former First Lady of Turks & Caicos Islands, LisaRaye kicked up her heels at the 16th Annual Little Miss African American Scholarship Pageant at the Sheraton Hotel in Universal City, California yesterday. As you may have already heard, LisaRaye and her ex-husband, the Premiere Michael Misick and his shenanigans with TV personality Rocsi caused Great Britain to seize control of the islands last week.
The entire government on the island was dismantled and is now in the control of Britain. If you recall, Jamaica was also once a territory of the UK before Jamaica gained it’s independence in the 60s. I was going to write about this on Friday but I could only shake my head in disgust. This would probably be the first time in history that a jumpoff has ever caused the overthrow of an entire government. Kim Porter can’t even claim that achievement.
Bronner Bros. V.I.P. Lounge
The Annual Bronner Brothers Hair Show took place this weekend in Atlanta. Celebs in attendance included Nia Long and Chris Tucker, Tiny and Toya, Al B Sure, B. Cox, Pretty Ricky, Yung Joc, and more.
This is the prettiest pic I’ve seen of Tiny, star of Tiny & Toya Show on BET. Tiny, who is very pretty in person, glows in this photo. But you’ll still find a reason to tear her down anyway simply because she’s with the man you want.
Yung Joc is releasing an album of new tracks that will available online for free download

District 9: One hour and 52 Minutes I will never get back
If you were one of the 37 million who caught the much-anticipated Sci-fi flick District 9 over the weekend, you either loved it or hated it. There is no in between.
I count myself among the movie goers who hated it. I was not impressed at all. In fact, I thought the film was garbage considering the hype leading up to the movie’s opening.
I expected more from producer Peter Jackson (The Lord Of The Rings, King Kong). But District 9 was a failed takeoff on Independence Day, The Predator and The Fly all rolled into one. The Fly was a better movie, in my opinion.
District 9‘s special effects were decent, the blood and gore was prolific (brain matter splattered on the screen every 15 minutes), and the jerky camera work was nauseating.
District 9 was filmed documentary style with agents from international government agencies providing history on an extraterrestrial race that found it’s way into Johannesburg airspace 20 years ago.
After months without any contact from the beings inside the spaceship, the military cut through the hull only to find the ship overcrowded with sickly, alien “workers” that look like giant cockroaches wearing predator suits. The aliens are rounded up and forced to live in slum-like conditions in a government-run settlement in Johannesburg called District 9, while the spaceship they rode in on hovers over Johannesburg like a junked clunker for 20 years.
District 9 is named after an area in New Orleans that was hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. It’s supposed to be an allegory for the apartheid-like treatment of Katrina victims who were uprooted from their homes, but that message is lost amidst the illogical storyline and racial cliches.
The South Africans are stereotypically cast as thugs, gang members, predators and scammers in a culture so steeped in voodoo that they believe eating the aliens (now called “prawns”) will bring them super powers. The natives take advantage of the prawns by scamming them into trading their biological weapons for cat food (the prawns’ favorite snack). The only problem is the guns don’t work unless alien DNA is detected on the trigger.
OBAMA FAIL: Obama Caught In Yet Another Lie
Many Americans are waking up to the fact that Barack Obama is a pathological liar who will say anything to win support for his Socialist agenda.
In this video posted by Patterico.com, Obama claims he never said he was a supporter of single payer universal health care. Yet there he was in 2003 saying just that.
In fact, he said it twice in the video. Obama’s communications director, a former TV news journalist, called the allegations a lie. Even though the video evidence is clear that he said it and everyone in the room heard him say it.
UPDATE:
The single payer pubic option provision in ObamaCare that Barack Obama has been pushing so hard for is officially dead, according to Senator Kent Conrad (D-N.D.):
“The fact of the matter is there are not [enough] votes in the United States Senate for the public option. There never have been. So to continue to chase that rabbit I think is just a wasted effort.” READ MORE…
