Floyd Mayweather thinks Jeremy Lin hype is because he’s Asian
According to sports groupie, Stiletto Jill:
Floyd posted on Twitter Monday night that the only reason why Knicks breakout star point guard Jeremy Lin is getting attention is because he’s Asian. I’m going to attempt to play advocate for Floyd for a second. There are a very small number of Asians in the league. That’s true. Obviously Yao Ming was a superstar. There was Wang Zhi-Zhi, Sun Yee and maybe a handful of others.
I agree with Floyd and Jill. I’m glad I don’t live in New York where the media overhypes everything. I watched Lin play and I don’t see the big deal. He is a typical ball hog who misses more shots than he hits, rather than passing the ball to the open man.
Judge a player by his season stats, not over 6 games against weak opponents.
Why do we care if it’s new hair?
Why is it that when a celebrity debuts her new weave hairstyle, we blogs have to write a new post about it?
As far as I’m concerned, weave is no different from lacefronts or wigs; it’s all artificial hair to me. So why make a big deal about it? Did the media in the 60s write articles every time Diana Ross debuted a new wig?
Last night, R&B Diva Monica, who I love like a niece, tweeted a pic of her new weave. But instead of tweeting “new hair”, she tweeted “new color!” That tweet left me baffled. I thought when we announce we have a new color, we’re supposed to mean our own hair?
Mo later clarified that the new color was in reference to her own hair. She then acknowledged her new hair by declaring, “I bought it.”
That’s fine. But when a man buys a new car that’s a different color than his last vehicle, does he pull up to his boy’s crib and shout, “hey dawg, new color!”
fanMAIL: Can we find out if Pooch Hall is still married?
One of Pooch Hall’s followers on social networking website Twitter.com is questioning his marital status after he sent out flirtatious tweets on his Twitter page.
Loyal reader Tricia writes:
Hey Sandra, can we find out if Pooch Hall is still married. It disturbs me on twitter how he just flirts with these women. And he NEVER mentions anything about spending time with his wife and kids. She must be a good one, couldn’t be me.
Thanks Tricia
After checking Pooch Hall’s Twitter page, it seems Tricia is right: Pooch is conducting himself as if he’s a single man — at least online. In one tweet to a female follower, Pooch wrote: “…my breath smells like fresh sex wit a hint of cinnamon and crest!”
For any other married man, this type of tweet would be inappropriate and disrespectful to his wife. But does his fame make a difference? Does anyone know if he’s a single man?
Why Urban Blogs Went Dark
They say if you want to get black people to join together in protesting a cause, just put it on the side of a bandwagon and we will all jump on board.
Yesterday, a few of your favorite urban blogs “went dark” in protest of 2 anti-piracy bills that has the Internet in an uproar. Urban bloggers, who certainly meant well, blacked out their blogs yesterday while the TMZ’s and the YouTube’s — websites that these bills would most likely affect — stayed in business as usual.
We never take the 10 minutes to research anything. We just jump on the first bandwagon that comes along because everyone else is on it — or because Russell Simmons tolds us to.
HELLO! The government already has the power to shut websites down. They’re doing it every day.
Wikipedia Goes Dark to Protest Obama’s Web Piracy Bills
If you planned on visiting Wikipedia.org today to look up celebrity discographies or birth dates (like I often do), forget about it; Wikipedia has gone dark for 24 hours to protest Obama’s proposed web piracy bill.
The online encyclopedia ranks up there with Google, Yahoo and other high traffic websites as the most visited online. Wikipedia, and other websites, took a stand against 2 bills: the Protect Intellectual Property Act and Stop Online Piracy Act, which are under consideration in the Senate.
The bills, backed by the motion picture and recording industries, intends to put a stop to online piracy and copyright infringement by infringing upon the rights of visitors to popular websites.
If signed into law by President Obama, the PIPA and the SOPA bills would require ISPs to block online access to foreign websites which supply many of the bootleg movies and CDs that are now available for download online.
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) claims the online piracy costs as much as $250 billion per year and costs the industry 750,000 jobs.
But critics of the bill say the SOPA act would infringe upon “free expression while harming the Internet” and “severely inhibit people’s access to online information.”
Wikipedia says the bills would place “the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites.”
Critics say smaller websites (such as Sandrarose.com) “won’t have sufficient resources to defend themselves” against a shut down for hosting content that may be considered pirated (such as Beyonce’s new album).
Wikipedia went offline at midnight on Jan. 18, and plans to stay dark for 24 hours.
Trina & Tamar Braxton Discuss Infidelity, Gossip and Negativity
‘Braxton Family Values‘ stars Trina and Tamar Braxton sat down with celebrity blogger Karen Civil to discuss infidelity, gossip blogs and negativity vs the positive.
Trina opened about her husband Gabe Solis’ online voyeurism, and she revealed that they have been legally separated for a year because of it.
“We didn’t put this out there for the show,” said Trina, “but Gabe and I are legally separated. So Gabe has the right to do whatever he chooses and with whom…”
The pain and the hurt are palpable in Trina’s voice as she makes conflicting statements about her “relationship” with Gabe.
“We are talking and we are praying about different things… we don’t know where we are… where we’re going to be. Nobody’s relationship is perfect, and ours definitely not!,” says Trina.
The shade being thrown by Tamar as Trina talks about Gabe indicates that she doesn’t believe her sister’s words either.
We won’t comment on what Trina and Tamar had to say about gossip blogs and negative comments because we know that they are new to the blogs and they need time to process the fact that negativity and criticism comes with the territory when you seek fame.
Blue Ivy’s Auntie Solange Knowles Wants Some Attention Too
Amid all the hoopla over the “birth” of The Chosen One, Solange Knowles, the sister of the new mom, whose name shall not be mentioned, went on a Twitter rant yesterday deploring the insensitivity towards her sister.
“It has really gotten out of hand. I’ve been doing my best at keeping my mouth shut….but the ignorance is really sad and upsetting,” she wrote in one of a series of tweets on her verified Twitter page.
We are supposed to be super human and watch people we love get slandered, lied on, and ridiculed. It is one of THE hardest things to accept. In any other workplace…if someone directly tells your mother or sister is a liar and a fake ect…you would naturally express yourself. However, the pure happiness and joy I’ve witnessed and experienced helps me to keep my mouth shut.
We hear that Solo’s anger was misdirected at her sister and brother-in-law, who refused to allow Solo to live tweet her niece’s birth — and who had the audacity to give fame whore Gwyneth Paltrow the honor of announcing the baby’s name to the world via a tweet!
Our very credible sources tell us Solange is “mad as hell” at her sister and brother-in-law for not giving her the privilege of announcing the baby’s name. But her sister reportedly told her she’ll get over it.
