Photo of the Day: Kim Kardashian is Packing
Friday, October 9th, 2009
TV personality Kim Kardashian gives a whole new meaning to the word ‘backpack’ in this pic taken yesterday in Santa Monica, California.
Is it my imagination or is the silicone gel from her butt injections sliding down the back of her left thigh? Kim was in town filming scenes from her scripted show ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’.

Another Dumb Rapper Gets Locked Up
Friday, October 9th, 2009
The rapper Soulja Boy Tell ‘em was locked up Wednesday night for just being stupid.
More from the AJC.com:
Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy was arrested in Henry County on Wednesday night after he ran from police, Capt. Jason Bolton said.
The singer was part of a video shoot at a house in McDonough, Bolton said. He took off running as a police officer walked up to the house — and was nabbed after he came back moments later, Bolton said.
He was part of a video shoot, others who were at the house told police.
Bolton said an officer headed out to a house in McDonough around 9 p.m. after being told a group of people were hanging out there. The house was dark and looked abandoned, Bolton said.
The officer saw three women walking around the back of the house, Bolton said. He asked them to stop, and when they didn’t, the officer followed them around the back and found a larger group of people — about 40, Bolton said.
About half of the group took off, leaving several cars behind, and the other half stayed — and told the officer they were at the house “for a video shoot,” Bolton said.
Then a man — who police identified as Deandre Cortez Way — walked back to the house. He told the officer that he was the owner of one of the cars — a white Range Rover — and the officer arrested him, Bolton said.
“He just ran from the police, and then he decided to come back,” Bolton said.
Way, 19, better known as Soulja Boy Tell’em, was taken to jail.

Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize, For What?
Friday, October 9th, 2009
The world is expressing shock and surprise at the news that Barack Obama has won a Nobel Peace Prize. It seems the Nobel Prize has become as cheap and meaningless as a MTV Moon Man trophy: they’re giving them out to just anyone now.
The Times Online called the Nobel decision “absurd” and said it “makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prize.”
Instead the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronizing in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace.
According to ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, one White House aide scoffed at the news, saying “It’s not April 1, is it?”
The deadline for submitting candidates for a peace prize is February 1st. Meaning Barack Obama was nominated just 11 days after being in office. Ridiculous!
Here are just a few headlines gleaned from Drudegreport.com:
MIXED REVIEWS; ‘EMBARRASSING JOKE’…
White House Aide: ‘It’s Not April 1st, Is It?’…
PAPER: This makes mockery of peace prize…

Miley Cyrus Quits Twitter
Thursday, October 8th, 2009
The big story in entertainment news today is teen actress Miley Cyrus has quit Twittering.
The Hannah Montana star quit Twitter today because her new boyfriend asked her to. Miley left a final tweet saying, “FYI Liam doesn’t have a twitter and he wants ME to delete mine with good reason,” then she deleted her account leaving her 2 million followers in a panic.
It seems the 16-year-old has discovered what a lot of other people already know: that Twitter is literally for the birds. As a wise woman recently pointed out: most celebrities have poor impulse control. They often end up posting a damaging tweet leaving their publicists to cover their asses by lying and claiming the Twitter account isn’t theirs.
There is no really good reason for established celebrities to have a twitter account other than to see how many “followers” they can gain. For that reason, Twitter is a narcissist’s playground. For the insecure celebs with low self esteem, it provides a forum to exercise their false superiority over others.
There’s really no surprise that the three biggest narcissists in the industry: Oprah Winfrey, Sean Combs and Ashton Kutcher, have millions of followers yet, only follow a few hundred back — if that many.
The other end of the spectrum are the non-celebrities who sit up on Twitter day and night hoping celebrities will respond to their tweets. Or the Twitter addicts who tweet randomly about every mundane aspect of their lives in the hopes that some other sad Twitter addict with no life will follow them.

FanMAIL from Monica
Thursday, October 8th, 2009
R&B Diva Monica read our post about her new TV show and she emailed us with more details. Mo writes that she appreciates her real fans on Sandrarose.com, and she even sends love and understanding to her haters.
I don’t blame Mo for pointing her haters out. Unless you’re being paid to hate on another one of God’s children, what’s your excuse?
Hi Sandra. I have been working so hard lately that we haven’t spoken. Just to update u. The title of my show is STILL STANDING. Its about love, real life, tragedy, triumph, my family and my journey to become the woman that I would like to be spiritually and emotionally.
It airs Oct. 27th at 10 pm right after the B.E.T. Awards. I want to thank u and your readers for always being in my corner.I even thank these who are not because as I grow closer to Christ I realize that is a part of life and harbour no ill feelings toward them. My journey may help someone because we all fall short of his grace but it’s the way you pick yourself up and move forward that’s important. All my love to you and your mom.
Monica, Romelo and Lil Rocko. See u at the party (we hope
)

LisaRaye Puts Vivica and Star Jones On Blast
Thursday, October 8th, 2009
In addition to working on her quiet-as-kept relationship with the Rev. Al Sharpton, actress and former First Lady of Turks & Caicos LisaRaye is also starring in her own reality TV show!
They say LisaRaye is P/O at her “friends” Vivica A. Fox and Star Jones for abandoning her in her time of need. But that’s typical of how we turn on each other in the black community. Black men stick together, but black women are our own worst enemies. That’s why I can count my female friends on three fingers.
From That B*tch:
Word around the Internet is LisaRaye will be using her new reality show to target her former best friends Star Jones and Vivica Fox. They say LisaRaye is angry because her pals didn’t stick by her through her divorce. She claims to have hosted Star on the Turks and Caicos Islands for 3 months while she went through her divorce from Al Reynolds, only to have Star turn around and take Michael Misicks’ side while LisaRaye was going through her own divorce. LisaRaye also accuses Vivica Fox of betraying her by telling Michael Misick her deepest darkest secrets and Duane Martin of providing Michael with a mistress. They say she’ll have some words for Rocsi, too.
Thanks to loyal reader MrsHawthorne77 for the tip!
