Rocko Da Don celebrated the release of his debut album “Self Made” with an autograph signing at DTLR in Atlanta yesterday. Rocko posed with his sons Malik, 12, and Lil’ Rocko, 2½.

According to People.com, Halle Berry and her sperm donor Gabe Aubry have named their newborn baby girl Nahla Ariela Aubry. The world can rest easy that the baby (who already has one strike against her) won’t have to go through life saddled with a name like Clara Belle Berry-Aubry – as some had rumored.
Lol, what the hell? Why is Beyoncé mean mugging so hard? Is her lacefront wig on too tight or is she channeling Rupaul for this House of Dereon ad? First Lil’ Wayne‘s homo licious condom ad and now this? Lmao @ “where the sidewalk and catwalk meet.”
This is the first video from (yawn) Sean Combs‘ manufactured group Day 26. I watched a little bit of a rerun from the show on MTV today. Talk about mind numbing. Even Danity Kane were dissing these guys on their own show. Can’t MTV find a real group that has real talent and give them a show? There’s an idea.
The condom ad featuring rapper Lil’ Wayne bent over the hood of a police car while an authority figure handles his business from behind, has to be the most ingenious advertising marketing scheme in Hip Hop history.
It sure got my attention!
The company that made the ads, strappedcondoms.com has now released the second in a series of ads meant to advertise the magnum size condoms aimed at street thugs who don’t normally “strap up.”
AIDS is the leading cause of death among black men between the ages of 25 and 44.
The company came under heavy criticism (and ridicule) by bloggers and the hip hop community for the homo erotic imagery in the ads.
But the company feels the message is more important than the response.
So to that end, they have released a new ad which precedes the original in the ad series.
The new ad shows the same authority figure apparently reaching into Lil’ Wayne’s pocket to pull out the condom – and strap up – before he proceeds to bend Mr. Wayne over the hood.
But why didn’t they release this one first? It certainly would have made more sense.

Most of you are aware of the public lynching of Barack Obama by the racist white media who are caught up in a feeding frenzy over the words spoken by one of Obama’s closest friends.
In YouTube videos posted all over the Internet and shown on national network news, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright spews hateful rhetoric from his church pew.
But the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is not running for president. Why is the media condemning Obama for something his friend said? Obama should be judged by his own merit and character – not by the character of his friends.
I just shake my head at the hypocrisy of people like Sean Hannity who bow down in the presence of that jerk Don Imus who says every crazy thing that comes to mind. But they just excuse Imus as being “eccentric.” Why can’t a black man be eccentric?
The media doesn’t understand that we don’t throw our friends away simply because we don’t agree with their politics.
Fat Joe calls Kenny Burns on 92.3 Baltimore while doing “Crack Radio”. I wanted to write “Butt Crack radio,” but I won’t do my man Kenny like that, lol. Kenny is so rich but he won’t spread the wealth this way? Wassup?
Kenny hosts the Black Poker Stars Invitational starring everybody under the sun. It airs tonight on BET.
I am an employee of an adult store on Piedmont.. There has been a recent ATL up and coming music mogul who comes in quite often to buy dildo’s for himself. Usually he comes in high, buys gay porn and watches it in one of our back rooms… A customer once revealed that he was offering customers [gay activity removed]. I am writing because this is a new and scary underground world… with no protection used… Stop the rising STDs in black women…

First and foremost: this is not gossip. I’m simply passing on information from a loyal reader who knows the couple very well. By the way, does Joy look a little long in the tooth to you guys?
Sandra,
Good morning. Hope your week is going well so far. I see you posted the new Lyfe video. Did you watch his Access Granted last night on BET? He introduced his co-manager Joy Bounds in the video. What he FAILED to mention is that Joy is not only his co-manager, she is also his woman and the mother of his 2 sons. This is who the song “Never Never Land” is most likely about as well. Of course industry folks know who she is but I really don’t think his fans know. You know all of this (my name and email) is off the record if you choose to print it 🙂
Anyway, if you need more info, feel free to holla at me. 🙂
Not everyone wants to see the same O same O on every blog.
Hello Sandra
I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and I notice you get hated on a lot. I went to your blog yesterday and saw what you posted from K David. First it made me laugh….because it’s like no matter what you do somebody always has something to say. And I know your haters would probably say that I’m a groupie but that is not the case. What is the point of visiting all these gossip blogs if they all have the same information on them? And if K David already knew Halle had her baby why does he/she need to see it on each and every web site. I come to your web site because I’m tired of seeing African American women being labeld a ho by other sites. Plus I know that you always have something other sites don’t have. So, thank you for deciding not to post the obvious.
Ms.Chitta Chatta
