Mercedes Benz SLS AMG 2011: Fit For a King *UPDATED*
Updated to add more pics (thanks BlackBarbie404)
I just received word that this sweet new Mercedes Benz SLS AMG 2011 was purchased by a local rapper, whose name I can’t reveal for legal reasons. This picture was taken of the car as it arrived today at the Mercedes Buckhead dealership in Atlanta (I have spies everywhere). It was built entirely by the AMG division of Mercedes Benz.
Notice how everyone is standing around the car as if in awe of it? That’s because no one in Atlanta (and maybe the country) has seen one of these cars in person.
You can see the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG at the Atlanta Auto Show at the Georgia World Congress Center this weekend before it’s delivered to it’s owner. Only 1,000 of these cars will be available for sale in the U.S.

Here are the specs:
- Price – $250,000
- Engine – AMG 6.3 Liter V8 engine
- Top speed – 197 mph
- 0 to 60 – 3.7 seconds
I’m told the rapper decided he had to have this car after watching the incredible video below. Yes, the video is real.
Entire Senior Class Of All-Black, All-Male Chicago School Accepted To College
A day doesn’t go by when without news about young black men being killed or locked up. But here’s some good news out of Chicago: the entire senior class of Chicago’s Urban Prep Academy for Young Men has been accepted to college. You won’t hear about these intelligent young brothas in the mainstream press because it’s not a negative story about black men.
It’s great to see kids like the students of Urban Prep Academy achieving their goals. When I contrast them with a good-for-nothing like Chris Brown who, at age 21, is a convicted felon who can’t pull his pants up, it gives me hope for the future of our kids.
Mayor Richard Daley and Chicago Public Schools chief Ron Huberman surprised students at an all-school assembly at Urban Prep Academy for Young Men in Englewood this morning to congratulate them. It’s the first graduating class at Urban Prep since it opened its doors in 2006.
The school enforces a strict uniform of black blazers, khaki pants and red ties — with one exception. After a student receives the news he was accepted into college, he swaps his red tie for a red and gold one at an assembly.
The last 13 students received their college ties today, to thunderous applause.
Ask Rayvaughn Hines what college he was accepted to and he’ll answer with a question.
“Do you want me to name them all?”
For the 18-year-old from Back of the Yards, college was merely a concept–never a goal–growing up. Even within the last three years, he questioned if school, let alone college, was for him. Now, the senior is headed to the prestigious Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga. next fall.
Hines remembers the moment he put on his red and gold tie.
“I wanted to take my time because I was just so proud of myself,” he said. “I wanted everyone to see me put it on.” Read More…

Tiger Woods And R. Kelly Have Something in Common
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for disgraced golfer Tiger Woods, his latest jump off has created a website where she posted all of his sexually graphic text messages from the time when they creeped together. The 100 messages includes Woods’ preference for slapping, choking, orgies and golden showers. Joslyn is just one of about 16 or 17 jump offs who came forward after Woods’ infamous car accident last year.
If you recall, Joslyn and celebrated attorney Gloria Allred held a press conference simultaneously with Tiger Wood’s televised apology on February 19.
At the time she said she wouldn’t sue Tiger Woods. But that was probably because she knew she didn’t have a case against him. It may be morally wrong, but it’s not illegal to bang jump offs.
But as Gloria surely knows, there are other ways to skin a cat — or skin a Tiger, as the case may be.
TMZ.com posted this tawdry text message that Woods sent to Joslyn James:
OK, I would like to have a threesome with you and another girl you trust.
- I want to treat you rough, throw you around, spank and slap you
- Have you ever had a golden shower done to you? … just morbid curiosity.
- You are my f**king whore. Hold you down while I choke you
And this last message to Joslyn sent on October 4, 2009, when Joslyn apparently showed up unexpectedly at a golf function.
“Don’t f**king talk to me. You almost just ruined my whole life. If my agent and these guys would have seen you there, F**k.”
It is typical of narcissists to point out the irresponsible behavior of others while ignoring their own role in the situation. Interestingly, Tiger’s wife Elin Nordegren-Woods has apparently forgiven him and taken him back. But there is no doubt that he will cheat on her again.

Sandra Bullock’s Husband Cheated On Her With This
The Internet is buzzing today about Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock cancelling scheduled appearances because she caught her husband, Jesse James, cheating with a stripper. Reportedly, Bullock has packed her Oscar and moved out of the family home.
They say how you got him is how you will eventually lose him (or her). Sandra Bullock had to know that this was coming since she basically stole her husband from his wife. What goes around comes around and I don’t feel sorry for her. I love it when a cheating woman is cheated on. Karma is the ultimate revenge.
I bet Sandra can’t believe her husband cheated on her with tatted up stripper Michelle McGee. As if men with low morals (who cheated once already) have any type of standards or taste.
James left his now ex-wife, porn star Janine Lindemulder, for 45-year-old Sandra Bullock when Lindemulder was six months pregnant with their daughter, now 5.
Bullock, who portrays herself as the girl-next-door, apparently felt she was entitled to help herself to Lindemulder’s husband. So hopefully, she knows how it feels now that the shoe is on the other foot.
Bullock once told InStyle magazine that marriage to James was “stable and satisfying,”. She said then: “Thankfully I married someone who loves me just the way I am.”
Oh really? Here’s Jesse James’ ex-wife Janine Lindemulder. Notice any resemblance to his current flame? I don’t see any tattoos on Bullock.

Celebs Out & About
Last night Jay Z and Beyonce showed up at Robin Thicke’s birthday party at 1OAK in NYC. Have you noticed that certain celebs seem to be everywhere now? There was a time when you wouldn’t see Jay Z and Beyonce together for months. Now all of a sudden, they’re everywhere. That’s because the tide has changed in the entertainment industry and those urban celebs who thought they were A-list are feeling the pressure to stay on top.
That’s why a Sean Combs, who once thought he was above appearing in rap videos, is now making cameos in every up-and-coming rapper’s video.
Earlier that evening they appeared together on stage at Alicia Keys’ concert at Madison Square Garden where Beyonce showed her azz. Talk about desperation?
Both Jigga and Bey are subjects of secret ongoing federal investigations and the other foot is about to drop on their necks. I guess they figure they’d better be seen as much as they can since they will soon be sitting in a federal pen.

LisaRaye Dr. Dre, The Game & Waka Flocka With Their Louis Stewart Bags
Actress and former First Lady LisaRaye shows off her new Louis Stewart Collection bags in this clip. I’m told that LisaRaye is one of Louis Stewart’s most loyal customers. And, yes, she paid a grip for those bags. Louis Stewart does not give away bags — as I learned when I shamelessly asked for one for myself.
I was told that if I wanted a custom backpack and duffle bag set with my name inside, I would have to appear in a video holding my bags. I politely declined the offer.
Check out Dr. Dre, The Game and incarcerated rapper Waka Flocka Flame displaying their new Louis Stewart bags after the break!
Waka Flocka Flame Arrested Again
Word out of the So Icey camp is that up-and-coming rapper Waka Focka Flame has been arrested again — this time for a probation violation for leaving the state of Georgia. The 23-year-old rapper is in a Houston prison and will be sitting down for a while this time.
According to TMZ.com, Waka — real name Juaquin James Malphurs — was on probation in Georgia for possessing a sawed-off shotgun.
It’s a good thing that Waka wrapped his “O Let’s Do It Remix” video this past Monday since he won’t be making any music videos for a while.
Waka’s case illustrates the state of shock that Hip Hop currently finds itself in. Half of Hip Hop’s elite rappers are either incarcerated or will be in time.
But there’s more: Waka’s mom, Debra Antney, is being accused of all sorts of shady dealings when it comes to her artists. Reports are that Nicki Minaj fired Antney as her manager. But according to a former Mizay/So Icey Entertainment employee, Nicki is still contractually obligated to Debra Antney and So Icey Entertainment.
In Georgia, contractual obligations are taken very seriously. Even verbal contracts are honored in courts here. So, while Nicki may no longer want Debra’s services, she will still have to pay her. I also hear that Gucci Mane, who is currently incarcerated in a Georgia prison, has reached through the bars to terminate his contract with So Icey Entertainment due to alleged mismanagement.
They word is that when Waka Flocka heard what Gucci Mane said about his mom, he cut all ties with Gucci Mane. This all went down before Waka was arrested yesterday.
