Kanye West & Jay Z – Otis
Tonight, DJ Funkmaster Flex (InFlexWeTrust.com) premiered the latest single off the much-hyped Watch The Throne collabo featuring Hip Hop Kings, Kanye West and Jay Z, spitting on a Otis Redding “Try a Little Tenderness” sample.
“Otis” is quite simply a disappointment… We waited all these months for THIS ****?

Medical Minute: Addictive Personalities
Most of us have that one friend who seems to fall in love as easily as he or she changes their underwear.
She’s the one who calls you every time she’s met “The One” — and she wants to share the exciting news with you — again. Your friend has run through literally a hundred men. All the rest were “losers,” she says, “but this guy is different. He understands me.”
Before you know it, she’s already planning her dream wedding to a guy she met just one week ago. She uses language such as, ‘I met a new guy… he swept me off my feet!,’ ‘I LOVE him!,’ ‘He’s so hawt!,’ ‘I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM!’
One of the reasons why your friend falls so hard for every hawt guy she meets, is because she is flying high off a dopamine rush. Your friend has what psychologists refer to as an addictive personality.
Addictive personalities are easy to spot: they’re the ones with cigarette butts dangling from their lips every time you see them. They can’t stop drinking or put down that weed, and they can play video games nonstop for hours on end without stopping to take a bite to eat.
Dopamine is the primary chemical in the brain that causes addictive personalities.
Basically, dopamine brightens and highlights our connections with the world around us, says David Goldman, Ph.D., a neuro-scientist with the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. “It’s essential for associating something that happens with the feeling of pleasure.” In other words, it reinforces behaviors that make us feel good.

R. Kelly Has Emergency Throat Surgery (Medical Minute)
Troubled singer R.Kelly is recovering in a Chicago hospital following emergency throat surgery, according to his rep.
According to the Atlanta Journal, Kelly’s publicist Allan Mayer said Wednesday that doctors drained an abscess on one of Kelly’s tonsils on Tuesday and that the singer will be “laid up indefinitely” at Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
Mayer says Kelly had been complaining of throat pain recently. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery after a throat exam.
R.Kelly was on tour with Keyshia Cole and Marsha Ambrious as opening acts.
Tonsil abscess is a common complication of tonsillitis, a throat infection which usually occurs among the pediatric population. A tonsil abscess is a sac containing pus that collects behind or on the side of the tonsil. Symptoms begin appearing a week before the formation of an abscess.
Arab sheikh carves his name in the sand so BIG it can be seen from SPACE
An oil rich Arab sheik is so narcissistic that he wanted his name to be seen from outer space! So to make his dream a reality, Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Ahyan, 63, hired workers to carve his name in gigantic letters on an island he owns in Abu Dhabi, United Emirates.
And here we thought Kanye West, Oprah and Sean Combs were the biggest narcissists on earth.
Singer Eric Benét is off the Market
Singer Eric Benét is off the market… again. If you recall in 2003 Benét, 40, split from his then wife, Halle Berry, after she caught him cheating. Benét and Berry, who married in 2001, reconciled in 2003 but their troubled marriage ended in 2005. Benét is famous for his sultry ballads, but also for claiming that his infidelity was due to his sex addiction for which he sought treatment. (He later claimed he was not a sex addict after all.)
For these reasons we can safely assume that Benét has an addictive personality driven by his emotional dependence on Dopamine (we’ll discuss this later in a Medical Minute post). Benét’s latest flame is 20-something Manuela Testolini. The two lovebirds were spotted holding hands, while out & about in Los Angeles yesterday.

Celebs Out & About: Kelly Rowland, Rihanna
Singer and X Factor judge, Kelly Rowland, was spotted flying out of London’s Heathrow Airport bound for Los Angeles yesterday. By coincidence, I received an email from a loyal reader who questioned why Kelly wasn’t promoting her new album, Here I Am, in the United States. My answer to the reader was Kelly knows where her true fan base is (in London). Even if she doesn’t promote her album here, it will still do well. Why should Kelly promote her album to her American bandwagon jumping fans who are only on her jock now because she has a hit record? Kelly looks hawt even when she dresses casually in boyfriend jeans and platform boots!
Singer Rihanna had a surprise for her Long Island, NY fans who came out to see her LOUD Tour last night. She brought out the one and only Kanye West! They performed their hit duet “All Of The Lights”, and “Run This Town” for their delirious fans. Yesterday, Sandrarose.com was offered the opportunity to fly to New York to attend the star studded listening session for Kanye and Jay Z’s Watch The Throne on August 1st. We actually considered going, if only to meet the musical genius Kanye, who, I was told would be in attendance with Jigga. But after giving the offer careful thought, we politely declined.
Watch the video of Kanye and Rihanna’s performance after the break!
