Professional athlete task force?
FROM THIS:
TO THIS:
We know about the Hip Hop police, but is there a special task force targeting professional athletes as well? By professional athletes, you know I mean the brothers. If there’s one thing professional athletes and rappers learned in 2007, it is that they are under the microscope and their actions are being monitored very closely.
Warning to clueless rappers: If your tax returns say you made x amount of dollars but you’re driving Bentleys and flashing what seems like millions in diamonds around your neck and on your wrist, you will get touched in 2008.
Take a cue from Jermaine Dupri and Jay Z: in 2008, bling is out and common sense is in.
Publicity Stunt for Bow Wow album release?

Bow Wow and Omarion performed on BET’s 106 & Park yesterday. The same day that his publicist sent out a press release stating Bow Wow was hospitalized with appendicitis, a sometimes fatal acute infection of the appendix. Yet here’s Bow Wow performing live – something he certainly would not be able to do if he had even the mildest form of appendicitis.
I was warned by someone in New York that this was a publicity stunt to publicize Omarion and Bow Wow’s album which drops today. The funny thing is, I didn’t even know they had an album coming out. So I guess the ruse worked.
What’s up with this boy’s hair? Is he trying to send a subliminal message to Lloyd? I’m not feeling Omarion’s metrosexual look, but I am starting to believe the rumors. Is Omarion being styled by Vogue Editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley too?

Will Smith received the honor of placing his hands and feet in cement outside Graumann’s Chinese theater in Hollywood yesterday (12/10). I remember when celebs were happy just to get a star on the walk of fame. I see pics of Will’s kids Willow and Jaden, but where’s Jada Pinkett-Smith?
Nivea and the Dream Divorcing
Producer The Dream, who rose to prominence when he penned the super hit “Umbrella” for Rihanna is divorcing his R&B singer wife Nivea. Many skeptics in the industry believe this is a publicity stunt to boost the image of the mostly unknown producer. According to Nivea, who released a statement confirming the divorce, The Dream is the greatest man she’s ever met and she doubts he can be replaced:
I come from a sad and scary past that I am still in the process of overcoming and growing past, thanks to the man I love and always will. This is truly the only person I’ve ever known or heard of that is incredibly loving, passionate, wise, psychic, creative, genius, and many more things that I could never put into words. I don’t feel it is fair for neither of us, especially him, to continue this never-ending battle of the minds that he and i have continued for long enough.
The Dream possesses all those attributes and she’s still divorcing him? Nowadays, a good man like that is hard to find, especially one who is wise, psychic, creative, and a genius. Hell, I’ll take him!

Quincy Stuntin’ Without His Daddy
As most of you in the ATL already know, young Quincy Brown‘s My Super 16 MTV taping is next Saturday at a secret location. But seeing as how no one bothered to send me an invite to such a momentous occasion, I figured what the heck, why not write about it?
What’s up with the theme of the party being “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy”? When did Sean Combs become Quincy’s daddy? As far as I know, Quincy’s real father, Albert Brown III aka Al B. Sure, hasn’t given up his parental rights to his son.
Originally, Sean Combs was in total control of the party planning – he even flew a local Atlanta Event Planner whom you all know, to New York). But then the infamous publicity stunt split occurred and Kim Porter took over the planning of her son’s party. From what I hear, Sean Combs intended to go all out financially spending a grip on everything from gifts (luxury vehicle) to flying celebrity guests in, but I’m told Kim wasn’t having that. Especially since the party was for her son and not intended as another publicity vehicle for Mr. Combs.
I’m told that instead of Quincy receiving outrageously expensive gifts (at least publicly) young Quincy will instead dole out gifts to invitees. That’s a switch. I’ll bet that was Quincy’s idea (he’s such a nice kid).
Happy Birthday, Quincy!
By the way, someone at Bad Boy should hustle on over to Wikipedia and re-edit Sean’s page. According to Wiki,
His sons Christian and Justin, also rap and produce, under the names Lil Choo Choo and Ducket. Their debut album is set to release in 2009. Borrowing heavily from their father’s influence, the boys’ artistic palette ranges from hood anthems, to club hits; as seen in slated singles, “You Gotta Ni*ga Hard”, and “Sweet Ghetto Pu$$y.”
Mike Vick Sentenced to 23 Months
Suspended Falcons quarterback Mike Vick was sentenced to 23 months in a federal prison today for taking part in a dog fighting conspiracy that involved illegal gambling and killing dogs. Vick received one month less than two years for time already served. Vick also faces state charges in addition to the federal conviction.
Vick, who appeared in court wearing prison stripes, could have been sentenced to five years by District judge Henry E. Hudson. Vick apologized to the court and his family but the judge admonished him for forgetting his fans: “You need to apologize to the millions of young people who looked up to you.”
