Obama Cracks Under Pressure; Loses his cool when he thinks his mic is turned off
U.S. President Barack Obama is known for his famously unflappable demeanor. But yesterday the commander-in-chief lost his cool with a reporter when he thought his microphone was turned off.
This is the second time in 6 days that Mr. Obama spoke his mind while his mic was still hot.
Obama, who is biracial, showed his black side following a tense interview with Dallas TV reporter Brad Watson. Mr. Obama unclipped his mic before glaring at the reporter and saying, “Let me finish my answers next time we do an interview, all right?”
Obama might have been ticked off at Watson for asking such leading questions as, “Why do you think you are so unpopular in Texas?”
The president, who is obviously feeling the heat, is under pressure to box out the GOP’s leading frontrunner, Donald Trump, in the 2012 elections.
Cover Parade: Lil Wayne, Mike Tyson, Biggie Smalls, Lady Gaga
Lil Wayne’s cover art for his upcoming studio album, Tha Carter IV, is probably a lot more interesting than the music contained on the album. Many forget that Lil Wayne’s last album, I Am Not a Human Being, was a commercial failure. As of this month, IANHB has yet to go platinum. TCIV drops June 14.
Despite his history of psychological problems, Mike Tyson looks peaceful on the cover of Esquire magazine’s May 2011 issue.
The Notorious BIG covers the Icon edition of Fader magazine’s issue #73. The mag hits newsstands on May 3rd, but the cover feature, written by Noz, is available to read now (via Rap Radar).

Celebs Out & About: Jennifer Hudson, Serena Williams, Romeo Miller, Darelle Revis
Here’s what tennis star Serena Williams looks like standing next to a real man, NY Jets cornerback Darelle Revis. Isn’t he handsome? The couple attended an event that Land Rover threw yesterday to celebrate the new Range Rover Evoque in New York City. Serena, 29, fell to #12 in the WTA world ranking after suffering a foot injury last year. She returned to the court last week in spectacular narcissistic fashion, wearing a neon pink catsuit.
Singer Jennifer Hudson, 29, was seen going into the ITV recording studio in London today. She was accompanied by a ruggedly handsome man who is not her husband, WWE wrestler David Otunga. The paparazzi identified him as her bodyguard. They also mentioned that J-Hud couldn’t take her eyes off him. David better watch out.
Speaking of handsome, here’s ya boy Romeo Miller, 21, leaving STK restaurant after dining with friends in Beverly Hills last night.

Celebs Out & About: Beyonce, Jay Z, Tameka Foster
Burlesque singer Beyonce, 29, and her rapper hubby Jay Z, 41, jetted to Paris, France yesterday to escape the onslaught of criticism from those who heard her latest single, “Girls (Who Run The World)” which leaked online Monday. The track is so horrible that Gawker.com was prompted to title their post review, “Beyoncé’s New Single Is All Kinds of Bad.” In fact, all of Beyonce’s ear-shattering singles — except for “Halo” and “Hello” — are all kinds of bad. It’s a shame that it took so long for people to finally notice that the girl has limited talent.
Even though she’s not a celebrity, paparazzi still snapped photos of Usher’s ex wife Tameka Foster, 40, shopping in Miami, Florida with a friend yesterday. Tameka apparently tweeted that she was in Miami to enjoy a little fun in the sun, but a spy tells me that Tameka is actually stalking her latest prey — who is a “professional baller.” That could mean that the unfortunate fella is a ball player, a rapper or a drug dealer. Take your pick. But whoever he is, I’m told that the dude is not currently single. That Tameka LOVES a challenge!

Charlie Sheen Loses Custody of Twins ‘Because He Bragged About His Drug Use’
A judge has denied troubled actor Charlie Sheen’s request for full custody of his twin sons because, the judge said, he bragged about his drug use.
Sheen filed the petition for full custody of 2-year-old twin sons Max and Bob after his estranged third wife, Brook Mueller, famously checked back into a drug rehab facility last week.
Judge Hank Goldberg was well aware that Mueller fell off the crack cocaine wagon, but Goldberg decided that Sheen was no better at parenting the boys than Mueller was.
Last week, a “strung out” Mueller was seen on surveillance video acting bizarrely and pacing back and forth inside a pawn shop where she had gone to pawn an expensive men’s watch and a stereo — supposedly so she could score more cocaine.
An employee at the pawn shop told TMZ that Mueller was desperately trying to get cash for the two items… but the shop would not purchase the items because Brooke did not have a valid I.D.
It didn’t matter that Mueller currently rakes in $55,000 a month in child support! All of that cash apparently goes up her nose.
Mueller refused a request for a urine drug test, which is part of her child custody agreement with Sheen.
Radaronline.com reports that Mueller called friends frantically Thursday morning, looking for someone to provide a clean urine sample for her.

‘America’s Most Wanted’ To Profile Friend of Keyshia Cole
America’s Most Wanted is set to air a segment this weekend featuring an Atlanta fugitive who went on the lam after murdering his estranged wife in her Riverdale apartment last year.
According to Fox 5 News, Wisdom Jeffery remains at large after shooting Corrissa Friends to death at the Chateau Phase II apartments at 6603 Church St on August 11, 2010.
Corrissa’s brief marriage to Jeffery was an abusive one. Riverdale Police Chief Samuel Patterson said Corrissa moved around Atlanta several times to get away from Jeffery.
The 21-year-old nursing student feared for her life when she called 911 to report a domestic dispute the day before she was killed.
But when police arrived they found no evidence of violence in the apartment. Since his name was not on the lease Jeffery was asked to leave, which he did.
But on the morning of August 11, 2010, Jeffery returned to the apartment with a shotgun and shot Corissa 3 times — twice in the abdomen and once in the back. Corrissa was able to dial 911 before she collapsed and died.
Jeffery left Corrissa’s 9-month-old daughter Casey with relatives in New York after the slaying.

Headline of The Week: “Beyonce’s Latest Musical Seizure Leaks”
At first I wasn’t going to post this garbage track because I didn’t want to disturb my equilibrium or cause serious damage to my eardrum.
But a lot of you are interested in this woman’s music for reasons that I don’t understand. To me, Beyonce sounds worse than Rihanna on a good day.
Today’s kids have no concept of what good music is. That’s why the record labels keep releasing this type of trash because they know you will accept whatever they put out with Beyonce’s name on it.
Anyway, I chose Dlisted’s post headline “Beyonce’s Latest Musical Seizure Leaks” as my headline of the week for obvious reasons. Didn’t you laugh out loud just reading that? I know I did! I also laughed out loud when I heard Bey’s track, “Girls (Who Run The World”, for the first time.
If you’re a high school drill team who is looking for a song that will clear the stands so you don’t have to stomp as hard, this is the shit for you! It’s also the song you need to experience if you’ve always wanted to know what it feels like to stick your head in a drum. Play at your own risk below:
Pitiful.
