Donald Trump is Officially Not Running for President

Donald Trump is waving the white flag to signal the end of his run for presidency in 2012.

Our own Stephanie Wash (ABC News reporter and longtime Sandrarose.com member) broke the scoop first on Twitter.com. Who would have thought that U.S. President Barack Obama’s calculated chess move (killing Osama) would be the death blow to the Donald’s presidential aspirations?

Oh, and Mike Huckabee (my personal favorite) isn’t running either. What a shame.

R.I.P. M-Bone, Cali Swag Member

According to online reports, a member of the rap group Cali Swag District was shot dead in a drive by Sunday. The group is known for its lone hit “Teach Me How To Dougie”, which spawned a dance craze that swept the nation.

From The Buzz:

“The victim was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when another vehicle pulled up alongside and unloaded “at least two rounds” into the car, according to Lt. Michael Marshall. “It looks like they knew each other. It was not a traditional drive-by.”

But TMZ reports the crime “appears to be a random act of violence.”

Either way, authorities have no suspects yet and are asking for help.

MTV notes that “details have been kept brief,” but cites a police source saying the artist “sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head while sitting in his vehicle on Le Brea Avenue. M-Bone was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.”

Cali Swag District had a huge hip-hop hit last year with “Teach Me How to Dougie.”

M-Bone, also known as Montae Talbert, was 22.

CNN’s Don Lemon finally admits he’s gay

CNN’s Don Lemon has finally come out of the closet:

CNN’s Don Lemon, who last year stunned audiences when he said he was molested as a child, has revealed he is gay.

Lemon, 45, has a new memoir coming out called “Transparent.” He told Bill Carter of the New York Times of the inherent risks of coming out as a news personality.

“I’m scared,” he said to the Times. “I’m talking about something that people might shun me for, ostracize me for.”

Although some TV personalities out, most notably Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, he said being a black male makes it even tougher to be gay.

“It’s about the worst thing you can be in black culture. You’re taught you have to be a man; you have to be masculine. In the black community they think you can pray the gay away.”

Ludacris and Eudoxie Celebrate Her Birthday

Eudoxie Agnan, aka Fab, is a married woman — according to her updated Facebook account.

But her longtime boyfriend, rapper Ludacris, continues to deny that any nuptials took place at the end of last year. Additionally, his friends say if it was up to his mother, Roberta Shields, who manages his Ludacris Foundation, there would be no marriage taking place at any time in his near future.

What does this all mean? Why wouldn’t Luda want Fab as his bride? According to his close friends, Ludacris likes Fab so much because she minds him. “It’s rare to find a light skinned girl who minds, unless she’s foreign,” said the friend.

Luda helped Fab celebrate her 24th birthday at Compound nightclub on Saturday night in Atlanta.

What He Said: Shannon Brown

I’m glad Shannon Brown finally addressed this nonsense! And shame on industry people for calling me to spread malicious gossip! If you knew how much Shannon LOVES Monica (and how much she puts the fear of God in his heart) you wouldn’t even entertain this foolishness.

Moving on…

Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls Rout the Miami Heat

Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls bulldozed over Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat 108-82 to take the 1st game of the best of 7 Eastern Conference finals at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois yesterday. The Heat managed to score only 2 measly points in the final 5 minutes of the 4th quarter.

The Big 3 simply don’t have an answer for my nephew, who scored 28 points. I love both teams, so I think I’ll sit this series out and just wait for the finals when Chicago meets Dirk Nowitzky and the Dallas Mavericks. That should be an Epic Finals!
