This is garbage. Two non-singing chicks on the same track? Hate it!

If you’re a gambler, the one sure thing you can bet on is a rapper will get himself arrested or locked up for at least a year.
Yesterday it was Gucci Mane’s turn. Sources say the rapper, real name Radric Davis, was cuffed on Thursday for violating the terms of his probation after he paid a visit to his parole officer and was informed that he failed a random drug test.
That’s the way it goes. These guys know the rules: they can be ordered to take a urine test at any time with no advance warning.
A judge revoked Gucci Mane’s probation and he is back in prison serving out his sentence. Gucci was also arrested in 2005 for hitting a club promoter with a pool cue. He received a 12 month sentence last September for failing to comply with his court-ordered 600 hours of community service in that case.
Gucci is expected to be released from prison in May — the same month rapper T.I. comes home from the federal pen in Arkansas.

Once again, Barack Obama shows his quiet disdain for the United States of America. This picture was taken on Veteran’s Day at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Even if it isn’t protocol to salute the flag during the National anthem, it is customary and a sign of respect.
Despite what his mouth may say, Obama’s actions speaks louder than words.

I agree with the music critics who have widely panned Rihanna’s latest studio effort. It pains me to have to say this but, Rihanna’s new CD, Rated R, sucks. For some reason, Rihanna decided to go in an entirely different direction with this project. Bad idea. “I’m nothing without you”? Is she serious?
She comes off as someone desperate to be taken seriously as a rock musician or something. If you’re looking for confirmation of her walk on the dark side (Illuminati) it’s all there in the lyrics. The backing tracks are some of the most horrible I’ve ever heard. Does anyone know what good music sounds like anymore?
You can listen to 30 second snippets of the entire album here. Rated R drops on November 20.
Is there still time for Rihanna’s handlers to shelve this mess and go back to the drawing board? I blame Jay Z’s massive, over sized ego for giving the green light to this garbage.
Sorry Ri Ri, but you are not a rock star, hon.

Convicted felon Chris Brown was the target of a verbal tirade from a devoted Rihanna fan who screamed profanity at him outside a NYC Foot Action store yesterday. Brown just smiled and walked past her.
Just think what would have happened if those cameras hadn’t been there.

Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan earned $90,000 a year as a military psychiatrist. A tidy sum for a man who hated his job and his country.
When you add in the special pay bonuses and military perks, his salary swelled to over six figures. He was making a nice chunk of change off of the military that he so despised.
According to online reports, Hasan lived “like a pauper” in an aging one bedroom apartment that rented for $300 a month. So where did all of his money go?
Hot Air has the answer:
Authorities have been examining whether Fort Hood massacre suspect Nidal Malik Hasan wired money to Pakistan in recent months, an action that one senior lawmaker said would raise serious questions about Hasan’s possible connections to militant Islamic groups.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., said sources “outside of the [intelligence] community” learned of Hasan’s generosity toward terrorist organizations in the Asian country where Osama bin Laden is believed to be hiding out.
Wow, that sure makes us feel safe to know that someone in the military could send money to support terrorist acts against the United States and nobody within the so-called “intelligence community” caught on.

Maybe Burlesque singer Beyonce shouldn’t travel outside of the U.S. since only Americans tend to dismiss how dumb she is.
In a shocking display of poor diplomacy, Egypt’s chief Egyptologist Zahi Hawass allegedly called American pop-star Beyonce a “stupid person” during her brief tour of the Giza pyramids earlier this week. Writing in al-Shorouk newspaper, Summer al-Gamal said that Hawass became fed up with the pop star’s attitude after she did not show the interest Hawass felt was deserved of the pyramids.
According to Gamal, during Hawass’ self-guided tour, he said “I showed her the Sphinx and I gave her a book on King Tutankhamen,” but then his anger and frustration made its way to the forefront.
“Then he stopped being diplomatic and said in anger, ’she’s a stupid person and she doesn’t understand a thing and she doesn’t want to understand’,” wrote Gamal.
Hawass is known for his outbursts. A number of foreigners have told Bikya Masr that he has employed Arabic to insult others at dinner events and gatherings, believing the non-Egyptians will not understand his Arabic. Beyonce, obviously, did not understand his jabs, Gamal said.
“She’s coming here to take pictures and that’s it,” Gamal quoted Hawass as saying. Read more…

This is horrible. I guess there’s no one left at these labels with the guts to say “come back when you have a hit.”
