Jay Z changes NJ Nets name to Brooklyn Nets
Rapper Jay Z continues to make smart business moves to fatten his financial portfolio. The 42-year-old NBA minority owner held a press conference this morning to announce the team’s name change from New Jersey Nets to Brooklyn Nets. He also announced he will be performing 8 concerts to welcome the newly renamed team to its new home at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
In an effort to draw the big corporate money to Brooklyn, the team also announced it’s selling “all-access” passes to the team’s VIP lounge. The VIP passes, which can be yours for only $15,400 a pop — will also give you backstage access to Jay Z’s 8 concerts. Not bad for $15K.
Morning Wood: Dappy of N-Dubz
“I’m down to earth and humble,” said rapper Dino “Dappy” Contostavlos of British pop band N-Dubz in a recent interview.
He’s also seriously packin’.
One of our Twitter followers tipped us off to Dappy’s ‘gift’ over the weekend. @Kennoger tweeted:
“This is Dappy from the British pop group N-Dubz trying to prove he’s bigger and better than #CB [Chris Brown].”
Well, judging from the pic that was attached to the tweet, we would say Dappy wins that bet hands down.
Because Sandrarose.com pride ourselves on being a family-oriented blog, we must tuck the Morning Wood away behind lock and key. You must be registered and over 18 to view the image.

T.I. Lavishes Gifts On Guests for Private Welcome Home Party
Remember we told you last week about rapper T.I.’s private Welcome Home party to be held after he’s released from a halfway house? Well, TMZ has the details on the intimate affair for exactly 150 guests on October 2nd. According to the gossip website, T.I.’s good friend Sean “Diddy” Combs is personally shipping in 150 bottles of Ciroc, one for each person in attendance. The whole bash will cost around $100K, with $20K just on food and additional $8K on dessert.

Of course, T.I. isn’t leaving out the blogs; one lucky Sandrarose.com reader will receive an invite to attend the Exclusive affair at an undisclosed location. T.I.’s artist Mitchelle’l, whose hawt single “Only A Few” has everyone buzzing, is set to perform for the lucky 150 guests. We usually don’t attend industry parties, but we might make an exception for this one!
Mike Vick blames refs for his broken hand
The Philadelphia Eagles are regretting their decision not to keep Mike Vick out of Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. Vick was cleared to play the Giants after suffering a concussion in last week’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
In the game against the Giants, the troubled quarterback promptly injured his non-throwing right hand following what he says was a late hit. X-rays later revealed that Vick had a broken hand. He will be forced to miss 3 to 4 weeks.
This came as bad news to beleaguered Eagles fans and the team’s front office who thought Vick was worth the $100 million contract they threw at him.
After the game, Vick, his right hand heavily bandaged, blamed the refs and the Giants’ defense for late hits.
“I was on the ground constantly,” said Vick, who threw for 176 yards and one interception. “Every time I throw the ball, I’m on the ground, getting hit in the head. I don’t know why I don’t get the 15-yard (flag) like everyone else (does). But hey, I’m not gonna complain about it. I’m just making everybody aware of it.”
Network Leaves Rihanna Out of ‘Extreme Makeover’ TV Promo Ads
First lady Michelle Obama was featured prominently in ABC network’s promotional Tv ads for “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” season premiere which aired last night.
Most viewers who watched the TV commercials had no idea that Rihanna would be on the show because she was left out of the TV ads. In fact, the network did promote Rihanna’s appearance as a “surprise guest” on blogs and in print media, but not in commercial spots that featured the first lady Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama simply wasn’t interested in sharing screen time with a public drunken mess like Rihanna.
The Bajan singer, who once famously said, “I’m a rock star, not a role model!,” wasn’t actually on hand to help build a new house for needy families. Instead, she held a meet and greet with the families and a woman’s veteran’s group backstage at one of her concert stops (see video).
There’s no doubt that Rihanna’s public drunkenness has become a major cause for concern. Yesterday on Twitter.com, Rihanna lashed out at others who accused her of being a drug addict. But it appears that she Rihanna was worrying about the wrong thing. She failed to address her alcoholism which has become the talk of industry.
