Rihanna visits ATL, denies dating Chris Brown

14

As I told you last week, Barbadian songstress Rihanna made a stop in Atlanta a few days ago to visit local radio stations and do a little promo. While in town Rihanna also enjoyed a quiet evening with her BFF Ciara at the Patti Labelle concert according to my spies. Yes, I know she denies being at the concert but my spy says different.

Ri Ri told personnel at both V-103 and Hot 107.9 that her luggage had been stolen and she was left with only the t-shirt on her back. According to a source, Ri Ri repeatedly speed dialed her friend Ciara hoping to go shopping, but Ciara had left town.

Rihanna also denied dating Chris Brown saying she the two are “best friends” (but we already knew that).

Listen to: Rihanna and Mz Shyneka on Hot 107.9

NY Giants player castrated sheep with his teeth?

11

As you know the NY Giants defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. But one of the NY Giants players had a strange workout regimen. There’s a video floating around the Internets featuring Giants offensive lineman Grey Ruegamer bragging about castrating sheep with his teeth!

In the video, Ruegamer claims he helped out family friends on their sheep ranch by biting off the sheep’s nuts and “spitting them in a bucket.” Ruegamer said downing beer helped prepare him for the gruesome task which left his face a bloody mess.

Of course, the media barely raised an eyebrow when this story broke because, after all, we’re talking about an all American boy in the Super Bowl. We’re talking apple pie, white picket fences, etcetera, etcetera.

So what if he bit off a whole herd of sheep nuts? Don’t all country boys cut their teeth on sheep nuts? That hardly compares with watching pit bulls do what comes naturally to them – fighting. So while convicted felon Mike Vick watched the game from his prison cell, Ruegamer gets to celebrate his Super Bowl win presumably with beer and nuts.

Watch the video after the break

Premier Events: Black Card Tuesdays @ Luckie Lounge

0

Every once in a while an event will catch my attention. Well, as you know, Luckie Food Lounge is Atlanta’s newest hot spot. So it’s only right that they team up with some of Atlanta’s hottest promoters – Botchey, CEO of Certified Crunkness, Botchey & Zae Entertainment, and Big Pat of Basement Entertainment – to bring you the ultimate industry night: Black Card Tuesdays.

This party isn’t for every one. If you’re not a mover or a shaker, this night is not for you. If you don’t call the shots, this night is not for you. If you think ballin’ is a pick up game of basketball with your boys, this night is not for you.

I hear the vibe of the event is gonna be real LA, you know, red carpet, elite people and slightly bourgeois. Botchey and Pat are kicking it off big this Tuesday (2/5) at 10pm.

By the way, the dress code is no fitted caps or athletic apparel. Sneakers are acceptable, but must be clean.

Celebrity Seed: Rev Run and Justine Simmons

Here’s Justine Simmons, wife of Rev Run Simmons, holding their newly adopted daughter Miley. But why is Justine looking at her baby girl like that? Maybe she and the child haven’t fully bonded yet. These things do take time. You will recall Justine lost her biological baby daughter last year due to a birth defect.

Video: Superbowl Ad, No Michael, but still a Thriller

All that talk about Michael Jackson starring in Pepsi’s Super Bowl commercial was mostly hot air. Pepsi used Jackson’s hit song “Thriller” as background music for its SoBe Life Water commercial featuring model Naomi Campbell and an army of dancing critters.

Video: A Black Women’s Fear – Obama

Just to be clear: I don’t believe Barack Obama will be assassinated when he is elected to the oval office in November. This is the way older folks (older than me) think. Those of us who didn’t experience the struggles of the civil rights era know that the world has changed a lot since then. So git yo’ ass out and vote!

Hollywood Unites to Hide Heath Ledger’s Dirt

46

According to published reports, Hollywood rallied together in a show of unity to protest the broadcasting of a video showing deceased actor Heath Ledger snorting coke. Isn’t that nice? Friends who snort coke together stick together I guess. Ledger was found dead in his SoHo apartment last week of a suspected drug overdose. Toxicology reports are pending.

It is no secret that Ledger’s rumored girlfriend actress Mary Kate Olsen of the famed Olsen twins sent bodyguards rushing to Ledger’s apartment to “sanitize” the scene before paramedics got there.

Now we’re hearing that a concerted effort by publicists and Hollywood actors has succeeded in removing the video from national television shows such as Entertainment Tonight which had planned to air parts of the video in last night’s broadcast.

We’re almost certain Hollywood would do the same if the deceased were Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson.

Songstress Patti Labelle and John Legend put on a show at Philips Arena in Atlanta last night (1/31). I hear Ciara and her BFF Rihanna were in the building….. together. That sighting is unconfirmed since there are no pictures of them. But I’ll have more on Rihanna in Atlanta later.
