Rihanna was spotted in NYC sporting a fancy leather backpack on Friday. I wish whoever took these pics did not even bother to give us a good look at that backpack. I love backpacks and I scoured the Internet for a better pic of hers but I couldn’t find one. It looks hawt!


But what’s going on with Rihanna’s kitchen?

New Music: Fantasia – Lucky (homewrecker’s anthem)

Troubled singer Fantasia Barrino has recorded the ultimate homewrecker/stalker anthem titled “Lucky”. The track was leaked by DDotomen.

The hopeless, self-defeating lyrics in “Lucky” reveal an emotionally unstable woman with zero self esteem who has difficulty respecting the boundaries of other women’s relationships.

      Damn, she get to have it every day
      What a lucky girl
      Ooh, well tonight I’ll take her place
      I’m a lucky girl
      Damn, do you spread her legs this way
      What a lucky girl
      Hmm, you’re the king at this foreplay
      I’m a lucky girl!

Thug Love: 2 Thugs On a Train

Aww, isn’t thug love beautiful?

Hopefully, neither of these men are your husband or baby daddy. I found this homotional photo on Twitter.com last night. The caption under the pic reads: “#noexcuse I DONT GIVE A FUCK HOW SLEEPY YOU ARE…”

The caption writer assumes that the two thugs are just homeboys probably returning home from late night partying. But I beg to differ. The one on the left is lovingly touching the hand of the sleeping thug, which is a dead giveaway.

Over the past 4 decades, black women have decided to go it alone with their kids rather than be subservient to black men like their mothers and aunts were back in the days when black men were the majority head of households.

It’s become nearly impossible to distinguish heterosexual men from down low thugs due to the proliferation of female-led households in the black community.

As more and more black women switch roles and responsibilities with men, more and more fatherless men are turning to other men for the strength and guidance they are missing in their lives.

Meanwhile, African Americans account for the highest rate of new HIV/AIDS cases.




 

Crime: Police Arrest Wrong Man in Buffalo, NY Shooting Spree

Keith Johnson is a free man today.

The 25-year-old parolee was released from custody this morning after police held a press conference yesterday to announce they had arrested the wrong suspect in a shooting spree that left 4 people dead.

Johnson was taken into custody Saturday afternoon when police and SWAT team members raided his home. He was released after investigators reviewed surveillance video and interviewed additional witnesses.

In all, 8 people were shot following a verbal altercation inside the City Grill in downtown Buffalo early Saturday morning. The managers had decided to close the City Grill around 2:30 am to disperse the crowd. About 100 patrons were exiting the restaurant when gunfire from outside drove them back inside.

The bodies of 3 people (1 man and 2 women) were left covered for hours on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. One man died later at a local hospital.

The argument that sparked the shooting occurred during a one-year wedding anniversary celebration for Danyell Mackin, 30, and his wife, Tanisha, 31, who married in Texas a year ago. Mackin was among those killed. Tanisha was not hurt.

The Mackins, who grew up in the same neighborhood, had known each other since they were 13 and began dating in 2001, according to the AJC. Their friends referred to them as “Tee” and “Dee.”

The couple have a 6-year-old son, Danyell Jr., and a 7-month-old daughter, Destinee, who was scheduled to be christened this morning.

“An occasion that should have been a joyous one, a happy one, turned tragic,” Mayor Byron Brown said Saturday near the City Grill, a popular destination for the after-work crowd and sports fans.

James Robbs, one of the victims, confirmed that there was only one gunman responsible for this massacre. Shaneesha White, sister of Shawn-Tia McNeil, who died during the gunfire also confirmed that Keith was not the gunman. [link]

Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III had expressed doubts early on that police had the right person in custody. He told a newspaper that after reviewing surveillance video from the scene, he noted that the evidence showed “certain discrepancies of people and clothing.”

The Mackin’s reception was to be held Saturday afternoon at a nearby community center in Buffalo. A message left by the couple on a personal website said the reception was “dedicated to the people who meant so much to us and that we lost.” [link]

The website identified the other three victims as Willie McCaa III, 26; Shawnita McNeil, 27; and Tiffany Wilhite, 32 (McNeil’s cousin).

“A senseless, random killing,” said Wilhite’s father, Raymond Wilhite, who returned to the restaurant a few hours after the shooting. “This kind of thing just has to stop.”

Fantasia and Antwaun Hook Back Up to Film Her Reality Show

Update 1, 3:57 pm ET:

Supposedly, VH1 released a statement shortly after the news broke about Fantasia’s “suicide attempt.”

According to a spokesperson:

“[The] premiere episode will be changing. At this moment production hasn’t decided what will change, it’s too soon for us to speak to how these events will change her show creative but Fantasia is an open book so its going to play a part in our series somehow just can’t speak to how exactly.”

The camera crew supposedly wasn’t in N. Carolina to film the “suicide attempt,” but they are there now and filming “is ongoing.” Wow.

The 2nd season of “Fantasia For Real” is scheduled to air on September 19.

SplashNews.com snagged the first exclusive shots of Fantasia Barrino meeting up with her married lover, Antwaun Cook, in a park near her N. Carolina home today.

It wasn’t hard to find them since they were surrounded by a camera crew who were filming for her reality series, according to TMZ.com.

The two reconnected just one day after Fantasia was released from the hospital … following an aspirinoverdose.

But here’s the rub — the emotional rendezvous was all caught on tape by a camera crew that was clearly working with Fantasia and Antwaun Cook … possibly for her reality show. Read More…

So that’s what this was all about? Her reality show? This is how low narcissistic celebrities like Fantasia will stoop for attention?

How much do you want to bet that Cook’s wife was in on this scam?
