Gov. Paterson Admits to Sex With Other Woman For Years
As I wrote my post last week about ex NY Governor Eliot Spitzer’s fall from grace, I added that David Paterson would be the first biracial governor of NY. In the back of my mind I thought, please don’t let this man turn out to be like every other dog man in power who can’t resist the scent of a conniving woman.
Too late! As every media outlet is gleefully reporting, Governor Paterson has admitted to cheating on his wife with another woman for years! Yes, even blind men cheat! They’re still men aren’t they?
In a stunning revelation, both Paterson, 53, and his wife, Michelle, 46, acknowledged in a joint interview they each had intimate relationships with others during a rocky period in their marriage several years ago.
In the course of several interviews in the past few days, Paterson said he maintained a relationship for two or three years with “a woman other than my wife,” beginning in 1999.
As part of that relationship, Paterson said, he and the other woman sometimes stayed at an upper West Side hotel — the Days Inn at Broadway and W. 94th St.
By the way, it is my personal belief that Michelle is lying about her affair to save her husband’s career. I don’t believe her for one minute.
It tickles me when I hear a woman say, “MY man doesn’t cheat,” as if she’s married to a man who was born without genitals or something. Please remember ladies, it isn’t that your man isn’t strong, it’s that the other woman is stronger.
Oh, if you ladies need the number to a good private detective, holla at your girl. I got you 😉
Out & About: Ursher and Tameka
Ursher and his boo Tameka Foster were spotted shopping in Hollywood surrounded by tight security. Judging by Tameka’s sour puss, I bet she didn’t find that pair of baby mink Ugg boots she had her heart set on.
In case you didn’t know, Halle Berry Had Her Baby

I didn’t know that every blog in the blogosphere has to report everything that every other blog reports. But according to loyal reader K David, I need to step my blog game up:

Subject: News TopicHey Sandra
Thanks for always entertaining me during the day…I do notice you didn’t post anything about Halle Berry giving birth. Its big news on all the other blogs, but no mention on yours. Is it due to her bi racial heritage or the fact the father is white (I know you’ve got your issues with that.) Just curious.
Peace & Blessings
Leaked: Rocko – Self Made
This week has been proclaimed Rocko Da Don week in the ATL by honorary mayor JD. Tonight, Rocko signs autographs at a couple of retail outlets. Then Rocko’s debut album, “Self Made” on Island Def Jam goes on sale tomorrow at a retail store near you.
Also tomorrow, Rocko’s big album release party pops off at Club E.S.S.O. with celebrity guests Monica, Rocko’s fiancee who is featured on the album, Ciara, Young Dro, Shawty Lo, Juelz, and more.
It’s all hosted by Island Urban Music president Jermaine Dupri who produced tracks on the album. The party is already shaping up to be the the most talked about event of the year.
Many fans don’t realize Rocko is a label owner himself. That puts him in a unique position to deal with record label execs from an executive’s standpoint. Word is when an art department staffer decided to go with album artwork that Rocko didn’t approve of, Rocko flew to NY to set the staffer straight. That’s gangsta!

Planned Parenthood Accepts Donation to Abort Black Babies
A Planned Parenthood staffer excitedly accepted a donation from a caller who wanted his funds earmarked for women aborting black babies. The problem is the caller was an actor and the donation wasn’t real. What is very real was the racist reaction to the donation offer from the PP staffer who took the call.
After asking that the donation go to abort black babies in his son’s name, the caller stated, “…we just think, you know, the less black kids out there the better.” To which the PP staffer laughed and said, “Understandable, understandable… Excuse my hesitation, um, um, this is the first time I’ve had a donor call and make this kind of request, so I’m excited, and I wanna make sure I don’t leave anything out.“
Once the the audio and transcripts of the call were made public by The Advocate, a right-to-life student magazine at the University of California-Los Angeles, Planned Parenthood predictably apologized for the bad judgment of its staffer. But there is no indication that the staffer was fired or even disciplined.
Critics have long accused Planned Parenthood of concentrating their efforts in the black community and targeting other minorities.

Sean Combs responds to LA Times article
Kwasi Asare, the long-suffering New Media Marketing Manager for Bad Boy Entertainment, sent out an official response to the LA Times article from his boss Sean Combs.
We know Sean didn’t write it, but the response says, in part, “This story is beyond ridiculous and is completely false. Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during, or after it happened.”
Well, we know that’s a lie based on testimony from witnesses on the scene that evening.
As you know, 50 people can witness the same incident and give 50 different perspectives of the events. But how did the original story go: After Tupac got shot, he picked himself up and rode the elevator up to the studio where Biggie was recording.
Didn’t witnesses say Sean Combs and Biggie were “shocked” to see the little homie limp off the elevator? According to witnesses, Sean and Biggie, who already knew of the shooting from phone calls, weren’t shocked at the sight of Tupac bleeding from his genital area, they were shocked that he survived the shooting at all.
Anyone who has ever been to a recording studio when a major celebrity is recording knows that there are always two or three burly bodyguards posted up at the entrance to the studio packing heat. So who shot Tupac?
LA Times article on Tupac Quad studio shooting
The LA Times is running an in-depth article on the shooting and robbery incident involving deceased rapper Tupac Shakur at a Times Square studio back in 1994.
The writer offers nothing new except maybe a name or two that we haven’t heard yet. We already know from informants and witnesses that Sean Combs and Biggie Smalls (who were inside the studio when the shooting occurred) had prior knowledge of the shooting.
These allegations have been covered extensively by VIBE magazine, The NY TImes and other hip hop publications in recent years.
