Basketball Wives LA: Blather, rinse, repeat
For those who don’t know: “blather” means to ramble on endlessly without saying much at all. That pretty much sums up the cast that Shaunie O’Neal and her producers assembled for the Basketball Wives spin-off, Basketball Wives Los Angeles.
The season premiere aired last night and quickly became the subject of scorn, ridicule and contempt on Twitter.com. Of course, minutes after they meet, a fight breaks out inside — where else — a nice restaurant. Nothing we didn’t expect from the original BBW.
The “extras” who are dining behind the chicks don’t even turn around to see what is going on — just like in the original BBW.
If Shaunie was going to hand these ladies the same script that she gave to the original Miami crew, she should have at least called it Basketball Wives part 2.
As mentioned before, BBW LA follows the same ghetto script as the original: pointless fighting, pointless arguing weave snatching, and mindless shopping sprees where they spend money that we don’t actually see. The only thing we didn’t see last night was water tossing, but that’s coming soon.
Just like in the original, this spin-off targets women who believe pretty much everything they see on TV (and on the blogs). Let’s pretend that we really believe Gloria Govan, fiancee of Matt Barnes, met cast member Draya Michelle (Chris Brown’s ex) in an acting class. 
Proof that there are 800,000 tone deaf people in this country
According to industry estimates, Lil’ Wayne’s Tha Carter IV is on pace to sell 700,000 – 850,000 units its first week in stores. Tha Carter IV will trounce 1st week sales of Jay Z and Kanye’s The Throne and Beyonce’s 4, and will place 2nd only to Lady Gaga for the most albums sold in a week this year.
This figure will likely stand despite the fact that Wayne has no official top 10 hits off this truly awful album. This brings to mind a form of expression frequently used by the moneyed set to describe mass consumption of worthless consumer products: “there is no accounting for good taste.”

Will Obama’s illegal immigrant ‘Uncle Omar’ get the same preferential treatment as his aunt?
Another one of U.S. President Barack Obama’s family members has proven to be an embarrassment to the Obama administration.
Obama’s long-lost “Uncle Omar,” whom he mentioned in his best-selling book Dreams from My Father, was arrested in Massachusetts for drunk driving on August 24.
Police say Onyango Obama, 67, the half-brother of Obama’s father, was handcuffed outside the Chicken Bone Saloon in Framingham, Massachusetts, at 7.10pm, after rolling through a stop sign and nearly crashing his Mitsubishi 4×4 into a patrol car.
In his police report, the arresting officer noted “slurred speech” and a strong odor of alcohol on Mr. Obama’s breath.
Officer Val Krishtal said Uncle Omar was defiant, and repeatedly interrupted the officer telling him his version of the events were “inaccurate.”
“I explained to him that I narrowly avoided striking his vehicle, and he told me that he did not hear my tires screeching,” officer Krishtal wrote in the report.
After being booked at the police station and told he could have one phone call to make bail, Uncle Omar said, “I think I will call the White House.”
Throwback Mondays: 8-year-old Kobe Bryant watching his dad warm up
Sports groupie extraordinaire Jill of Jocks and Stilettos blog posted this throwback video of an 8-year-old Kobe Bryant watching his dad, Joe Bryant, warm up when he played overseas in Italy. That little gum chewing boy would later grow up to be one of the most dominating players in the sport.

Ciara, 25, was spotted shopping with a friend on Roberston Blvd. in Beverly Hills Saturday– the day before she attended Lil Wayne’s Record Release Party for “Tha Carter IV” in Los Angeles. My spies tell me that Ciara didn’t arrive alone. It’s good to see she got over her recent split up with NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire, who went back to his baby mama.
Rapster Nicki Minaj, 29, also attended the Lil Wayne Record Release Party last night in Los Angeles. Of course she looked like a fool. The only thing missing is the Barbie box she was packaged in.
Beyoncé’s Fake Baby Bump Makes the Cover of the NY Post
“Beyoncé Pregnant” blares the headline on Monday’s New York Post front page. Wasn’t Beyoncé just in New York 10 days ago performing 4 concerts? Only in America can a woman be 4 months pregnant in 10 days.
The NY Post didn’t notice she was pregnant then? I guess it’s a slow day for the NY media today after overhyping the little gusts of wind and rain that was “Hurricane” Irene over the weekend. Lol.

Even Chipmunk Love Can Be Beautiful
Rapper Wiz Khalifa and socialite Amber Rose couldn’t keep their hands or lips off each other at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards last night at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. I don’t know about you guys, but I get a chuckle out of watching wildlife make out in public.
