Armed Guards to patrol Unemployment Offices

The state of Maryland has hired armed guards to patrol all unemployment offices as the end of unemployment benefits for thousands of unemployed residents draws near.

No specific incidents prompted the action said Department of Workforce Development spokesman Marc Lotter, according to 6News’ Norman Cox.

Lotter said the agency is merely being cautious due to the approach of an early-December deadline when thousands of Indiana residents could see their unemployment benefits end after exhausting the maximum 99 weeks provided through multiple federal extension periods.

“Given the upcoming expiration of the federal extensions and the increased stress on some of the unemployed, we thought added security would provide an extra level of protection for our employees and clients,” he said.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Barack Obama has no events on his schedule today after non-stop campaigning to try and stem the Democratic bloodletting that will occur when millions of disenchanted voters go to the polls tomorrow.

A new Gallup poll finds an unprecedented enthusiasm gap favoring Republicans in the midterm elections.

In a recent CNN poll, 75% of Americans say things are going badly — the highest percentage since the question was first asked in the mid-1970s.

Celebs Out & About: Rihanna, Ashanti, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, Seal

There were so many Rihanna costumes at the Velvet Room last night in Atlanta I almost lost count. But the Diva spent Halloween dressed as herself at Whisky Mist club in London. Maybe she wasn’t in the holiday spirit?

Singer Ashanti attended Heidi Klum’s celebrity Halloween Party at Lavos New York City last night. This is how you can tell when a chick has no range and not much intelligence. Halloween is the chance for all the butt models to show their azzes. Never mind that they show their azzes all year long. You would think that they would want to do something else just this one time?

Jesus Christ Wins $10,000 for Top Halloween Costume at Velvet Room

The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ won the $10,000 top prize at Velvet Room’s Halloween costume extravaganza last night. Jesus caused quite a sensation on the Internet when party guests Twitpic’d his picture online. Some believers thought the costume was blasphemous. But despite the unease and concern, Jesus walked away with the ten thousand dollars.

Madea (who looked just like Tyler Perry) was the runner up.

New Music: Trey Songz – Aston Martin Music TriggaMix

While Trey Songz spent Halloween in Puerto Rico, his road manager (or whatever she is) BiBi sent his track off his upcoming mixtape Lemme Hold That Beat, titled “Aston Martin Music” remix to all the blogs except mine. Not that I care. I don’t have a problem visiting Miss Info‘s blog and downloading the track for my readers’ listening pleasure.

BiBi was dressed as Kanye West and she actually paid chicks to dress as Ballerinas and a Phoenix from Kanye’s “Runaway” movie. BiBi had a little trouble getting into VIP where I was. It’s a good thing my friend Elsa heard her pleas and pulled a power move to get her in.

I talked to BiBi last night at Velvet Room and I explained that I loved her costume. She was very graceful, but she lost points when she asked me who I was dressed as (I was Barack and Michelle Obama).

I actually like this song, but Trey should not be rapping at all. Rapping is not his forte’. Anyway, the aforementioned BiBi lost the $10,000 top prize to Jesus Christ for best costume at the Velvet Room last night.

I was supposed to help judge the costume contest at the Velvet Room last night. But my fellow judge — the beautiful Elsa Belai — showed up just as I was leaving the club. She claimed she didn’t think I was coming out. Why would she think that?

Anyway, here’s The boston Celtics’ Shaquille O’Neal dressed up as Shaquitta for Halloween and his concubine, reality show freak Hoopz as Kanye West?

Shaquille O’Neal is a clown now. He has lost so much respect. If he’s not careful, Shaq will find himself in the same league as Dennis Rodman.

When I Was 17 – Nelly

Rapper Nelly is featured on MTV’s “When I Was 17.” Nelly recalls his life growing up in St. Louis, where he excelled in peewee baseball, football, and jumped to the big leagues of petty theft.

Nelly came to prominence in 2000 with his top ten hit “Country Grammar.” He went on to sell 21 million albums in the U.S. in his career and Billboard magazine named him 3rd Top Overall Artist of the 2000-2009 decade.

Nicki Minaj ft. Eminem – Roman’s Revenge

Nicki’s much-anticipated track “Roman’s Revenge” featuring Eminem leaked online over the weekend. In it she unleashes the full wrath of her Roman Zolanski alter ego on her arch nemesis Lil Kim and other female rappers who defined an era.

Is this the thanks I get for putting you bishes on?
Is it my fault that all of you bishes gone
Should’a sent a thank you note, you little ho
Now I’ma wrap your coffin with a bow.

Nicki, she just mad cause you took her spot
Word, that bish mad ’cause I took the spot?
Well bish if u ain’t sh*ttin’, then get off the pot
Got some n*ggas out in Brooklyn that’ll off ya top

Some fool has convinced rapper Nicki Minaj that she is a Hip Hop phenomenon — and she believes that lie. Whoever or whatever Nicki Minaj thinks she is, she will never be the Queen B!

The truth is, Nicki Minaj and all her silly gimmicks will never impact Hip Hop the way Lil Kim has.

Nicki’s gimmick fails badly on this lame track. Her nursery school attack disses are even worse than Nicki’s annoying cartoonish voices and exaggerated accents.

No wonder Eminem initially refused to jump on this track with Nicki. Can you blame him? Em kills this track and he didn’t even need an annoying voice to do it.

Watch Nicki Minaj perform in Trinidad after the break!
