Thursday, October 29th, 2009
Former Destiny’s Child member LeToya Luckett teamed with Ludacris to shoot the video for her hit single “Regret”. Don’t the make a cute couple?!

The video was directed by Parris (The Dream, Ludacris, Swizz Beats, etc.) and features Letoya looking gorgeous while she tells her ex man that “you must regret the day that you left me.” Hip hop superstar Ludacris lends a hand on the song and the video - playing Letoya’s new man - in fact, fans may recognize the ex as the same hot model who played her boyfriend in the “She Ain’t Got” video.

FanMAIL: Is Jay Z Misunderstood or an unrepentant Devil Worshipper?
Thursday, October 29th, 2009
All day yesterday I fielded emails from loyal Jay Z fans who wanted to give their points of view about the controversy surrounding his lyrics.
Acia writes:
Dear Ms. Rose,
Let me start by saying that I read your blog everyday. I was going through your post and I came across “Former Drug Dealer&& Rapper Denies Jesus”….let me say that I found this totally offensive. I am a college student at South Alabama and I totally deny Jesus. What does his past and his present have to do with his faith???Why bash a brother who knows the truth and refuses to be a slave to religion that we were given once we stepped off the slave ship so that we would be more obedient and complacent. It’s closed minded people like yourself that continue to push back our progression.
If Jay-Z wants to dress the way he dresses and put out the image that he is displaying that is him!….It is not for you to judge or anyone else!&& believe me no matter what you post or anyone else post…He will continue to sell because there are people out here like me that can look deeper into things and not play GOD by passing judgement!

Monica Appears On Good Day Xtra
Thursday, October 29th, 2009R&B singer Monica appeared on Fox 5’s Good Day Xtra this morning to discuss her new reality show.
Earlier, I wrote a plea from Monica for help in finding an 11-year-old missing child. The boy has been found and Monica thanks everyone for their assistance in locating him.
She was on top of it all, with hit records climbing the charts, awards lining her mantle and telelvision appearances filling her calendar. And then, she seemed to disappear. Well this fall, Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum recording artist Monica returns to the spotlight and makes her reality TV debut with “Monica: Still Standing.”
The show takes a rare look inside Monica’s personal life, relationships, carrer and motherhood.

Monica - Still Standing Episode 1
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
In case you missed it last night. I’ll post episode 2 if I can find it. Mo is living the life isn’t she? Even though she’s with a hard core rapper, her life is almost as tranquil as the Brady Bunch’s.

FanMAIL: Age is nothing but a number
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Mack Daddy Joe Jackson showed up to last night’s Las Vegas premiere of his late son Michael Jackson’s movie “This Is It” with two hawt chicks at his side. Joe proves you’re never too old to mack the ladies!
Coincidentally, I received an email today from a loyal reader all the way in Germany who accuses me of age discrimination because I knocked Jay Z for wearing his jeans sagging off his ass at age 40.
Loyal reader Arthur writes, in part:
You, me and Jay-Z have something in common: we are all aging! You don’t need to like Jay-Z or his music. But your references to his age - and I noticed that you doing that with few other people as well - is totally unnecessary.
I beg to differ. I think it’s totally necessary to question the maturity level of a man (Jigga) who is in a position to influence an entire generation of youth with his words as well as his actions. Can you imagine Joe Jackson dressing like Jay Z?
