Dumb Ass of the Day!

SUFFOLK - He left his photo.

Now police have a name to go with it. A 17-year-old Suffolk resident has been identified by police as the suspect in a recent burglary in which the perpetrator took a self-portrait with his victim's cell phone camera and left it behind.

Because of his age, the juvenile's name is not being released to the media. Debbie George, spokeswoman for the city of Suffolk, said detectives have interviewed the teen and will secure petitions charging him with a felony burglary count and a larceny count that could be a felony or a misdemeanor.

The burglary happened in early June at a residence on Holbrook Arch. Detectives believe the burglar attempted to make a phone call using the home owner's cell phone but was unsuccessful, then used the camera function to take a photo of himself. The photo was circulated in the media, leading to calls from citizens that helped detectives identify the suspect.

Tameka Foster Sends More Dumb Tweets... On Accident

Oh 'Meka Boo... you just keep on keepin on home girl. Why don't you just stop talkin while you still have the chance. Well... wait a minute... no scratch that- You just keep the drama coming because you're giving me more stuff to talk about... and apparently you're giving Usher exactly what his attorney's need.

Let's just say that Tameka Foster is the "Twitter-Dumb" of a couple. On Wednesday, Foster went and tried to send a direct message to her friend Star Jones via the popular website Twitter.com. It obviously didn't work beccause everyone who is a friend on her list saw it... and it read:

"@starjonesesq my lawyer= horrible. Need the name/number of a good one in Atlanta,"

Recognizing her mistake -- and the fact that she just told the world what she really thinks of her divorce attorney, Randall M. Kessler, the 40-year-old, mother of five then posted another tweet asking:

"Please delete this...it was a DM mistake. Not for ppl to see. I'm sorry."

Now... she's either hella dumb and just isn't that computer savvy, or... that was on purpose and she's using it somehow to work in her benefit *thinking*... I defer to go with the former option instead of the latter on this one. One would think that Foster would have Twitter mastered by now, as she regularly uses the social networking site to misquote Bible verses and inspirational affirmations lifted from various spiritual gurus.

Guess not. This is Tameka we're talking about here.

Lessons In Getting A Tattoo

Sooooooooo... You go into the tattoo shop expecting to get what you ask for right? Of course you do... because YOU'RE AWAKE and gonna make sure that it's the right thing. I mean damn... it's going to be on your body for the rest of your life. Well tell that to 18 year old Kim Vlaminck of Belguim who woke up to 56 tatted stars on the side of her face. Why is Kim mad though? She wanted a tat... she wanted stars... but... she only wanted three!!! Her first mistake was FALLING ASLEEP in the damn chair! My big question to this girl was... how the hell do you fall asleep when someone is needling in your damn face??? But wait... I got another question... WHY THE HEEEEELL WOULD YOU LET THIS DUDE....

tattoo your face in the first damn place? Too many signs here that this shit was doomed from teh giddy-up! Kim is suing tattoo artist Toumaniantz for £10,000 after she paid £55 for ‘the graffiti that has ruined my life’, but he says that she was happy with the work when she left his shop in Coutrai but changed her mind when her father saw the stars.

‘She’s 18 years old, she’s an adult,’ he said. ‘I don’t regret it. To tell you the truth, this has given me some publicity.’

She also says that Toumaniantz misunderstood her French and English. She claims she fell asleep while he was doing his work… and awoke to ‘this nightmare’.

‘It is terrible for me,’ said Kimberley yesterday. ‘I cannot go out on to the street, I am so embarrassed. I just look horrible.’

Toumaniantz is willing to help pay for the tats to be removed... yeah right!

Oakland Salon Workers Gets Beat Up In Salon By Two Other Females

This right here makes absolutely no sense! This is what's wrong with black women today. In the video the salon worker, after getting her behind beat the first time, asks her assailant "What did I do?" All the attacker kept repeating was "Bitch you said it!" Tell the girl what she said. Be a woman about it. What's the purpose of coming in and accusing her of something and she's claiming that she doesn't know what she's accused of. This is disgusting. I pray that they find the girls who did this.

Cassie Blames Faulty Email Account For Leaked Nude Photos

Now that everybody has forgotten about Cassie's nude pictures, she's bringing them back up again. The 23-year-old sited a glitch with her e-mail account as the reason why the photos ended up all over the internet.

"It was in an old e-mail from like last year that I had," she said in a recent radio interview.

"Actually it was G-mail and sometimes G-mail is the worst. It was a year ago that I took the pictures and sent them. I don't even have the pictures anymore."

The songstress said she received a phone call informing her the pictures were leaked, and initially felt sick to her stomach.

"I freaked out for a second and then, what can you do when that happens?"

We're closer to an idea of who did it. It's being somewhat investigated, I don't even know if I'm supposed to talk about it." Cassie confirmed that the pictures were taken for her boyfriend, but did not clarify if they were for rumored fling Sean "Diddy" Combs or her ex-beau Ryan Leslie.

"Now I've learned not to use an e-mail to send a picture obviously."... ummmm... yeaaaaah!

T-Pain's Big Ass Chain

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah T-Pain! You look like a damn fool! All I'm sayin!

Get In Or Die Tryin!

Ya know... this recession is a muthasucka... so guess who's going to be on the unemployment line and out of a job after this lil incident? That's right... the idiot that locked 50 Cents keys in his Rolls Royce Phantom. As you can see, these dudes are using friggin coat hangers to get the lock open on a friggin Rolls Royce? Just call the damn lock smith 50. You got the money and then some!

Talk About Disturbing The Peace!

I'm telling you dude... you can't go nowhere without folks, black or white, actin a pure "D" fool. According to a friend that witness this all go down, some dude named Charles Miller (remember that last name) started some major chaos up in the 300 bowling Alley here in Atlanta off of Savoy Rd.

According to my source, Miller and a few friends of his attempted to start some drama with Ludacris' manager Chaka Zulu. Although it's not clear if Chaka was involved in anything, it is clear that some of the DTP fam and folks with Miller and Miller himself were involved in an altercation and arrested that night.

I've heard in the past that Chaka and Shaq are cousins or whatever... so remember how I said remember the last name Miller? Well, remember the chick "Mary Jane"? The one who tried to put a restraining order on Shaq a few months back? Well her name is Alexis Miller! I know ya'll are smart... so let's put two and two together here! Needless to say... senseless and baseless drama... and for what??? No one knows!

T-Pain Puts His Foot In His Mouth...

You know... with the historic victory of President-Elect Barack Obama and the tremendous strides that our country has taken with electing him and healing some of the hurts from the past, stuff like this, especially in a public venue is just completely out of touch.

Monday night in New York City, rapper/producer T-Pain committed his own gaffe by many folks standards. While toasting the release of his latest CD, Thr33 Ringz, at Manhattan's Hiro Lounge with a circus-themed concert with all the trappings of a festive carnival, including clowns, midgets, a scantily clad woman on stilts, and surprise guest appearances by Diddy and Busta Rhymes, T-Pain (born Faheem Najm) made some offensive anti-Semitic jokes with the chairman of the BMG Label Group, Barry Weiss when he appeared on stage with the rapper.

Among other crude and inappropriate remarks, the Grammy-winning rapper proclaimed that "Jews run everything" and "they get all the money," and frequently shouted things like "matzo ball!" and "mazel tov!" An unruffled Weiss affably played along, remaining cool with a smile on his face as both gasps and giggles escaped from the stunned audience. I'm sure these comments may be "inside" jokes between Pain and Weiss, but that's just where they need to stay. If whites or any other race aren't afforded the right to make slurs against blacks, why should we get a pass when it comes to us making remarks about other. That is one of the main double standards that I hate. I don't like the fact that we often refer to one another as n*ggas either, but then turn around and get mad at a white person or hispanic person for using it. How hypocrital have we been for so long. We don't like whites saying things like "shuckin and jivin" but we're aloud to use it? STOP! Think before you speak. The tables are damn near balanced now. Of course they will never be totally balanced but we can't expect for others to respect our race when we don't respect it or any other race ourselves!

Anyways, Jive Records, T-Pain, and his co-managers Michael Blumstein and Dave Abram, have issued a joint statement: "During the course of T-Pain's (Faheem Najm) performance at his album release party last night, Najm brought Barry Weiss to the stage to acknowledge and thank him for 'believing in him as an artist' and 'signing him to the label.' Mr. Weiss and Mr. Najm have a long-standing, mutually respectful relationship and no offense was meant or taken by any of Najm's heartfelt on-stage comments. T-Pain sincerely apologizes to anyone who may have been hurt or offended by his remarks."

Still, yesterday wasn't the first time T-Pain spewed anti-Semitic vitriol at Weiss. Back in August, he did the same thing at an intimate listening party for Thr33 Ringz in New York. Though his comments were no less abhorrent and unnecessary, he (barely) got away with it only because it seemed as if he and Weiss were sharing a genuine moment of politically incorrect humor between friends that should've been kept private. But what happened last night was no joke. It was just plain ignorant.

R. Kelly's Nephews Shot In Botched Robbery Attempt

Two of R. Kelly’s nephews, Brayel and Brandon Kelly have been taken in to custody of Chicago PD as suspects in an attempted barbershop robbery. 15 year old Brayel was shot twice in the abdomen/chest in the process and is now in intensive care. Here’s what went down:

According to MTV News, Calumet City police told them that one of the two boys went into a barbershop and requested a haircut. After receiving his haircut, he allegedly tried to rob the barbershop owner by producing a weapon and demanding that the owner place his money and jewelry in a plastic bag. The man complied but also produced his own weapon. Police say the suspect fired, and the victim returned fire. The owner later told police that he believed he hit the robber. Before responding to the armed-robbery call, police responded to a call two blocks away, where they found a juvenile who had been shot in the back. Brayel’s older brother, Brandon, was arrested and police are investigating whether he acted as a lookout.

The two boys are sons of R. Kelly's older brother Carey Kelly. Apparently the boys dad Carey told the media that his sons are not the suspects but the victims of a robbery gone wrong. *blank stare*. It's so funny how some parents are in denial about their wayward children. Carey also said that people have tried to rob them before thinking that since R. Kelly is their uncle/brother that they have money too. Carey says that R. has the money not them, and that they haven't been cool for some time now since a family fallout.

Lupe Fiasco Rains On Obamas Parade- DICK!

Talk about rain on your parade!!! Geesh!!! It seems that our newest Chi-Town hip hopper Lupe Fiasco wasn't pleased with Barack Obamas speech on Tuesday night. You can now classify this dude as a party pooper, killjoy, buzzkill, spoilsport, I could go on and on!!! Why would he even come out of his face with something like this to begin with is beyond me!

While most of the world is still sky high off Barack Obama's historic election, leave it to Lupe to ruin the moment with a needless statement. In an interview with Big Tigger on D.C. radio station 95.5, the killjoy rapper said he wasn't impressed with Obama's acceptance speech."I'll be honest and I'll probably catch flack for this, the acceptance speech from Barack Obama last night it didn't move me at all." [Listen Here]

President-elect Obama's words were powerful enough to move Jay-Z, and a whole host of other rappers, but not enough for Mr. Cool. Instead the Chi-town rapper was extra touched by the tears of another political elder.

"What moved me was when they showed Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson was bawling. He was crying to the point, the feelings and emotions that came out of that was those was the tears of Martin Luther King, Jr., Those were the tears of Malcolm X. He was the representative out there who went through the struggle."

Granted, Baracks speech wasn't the best we've heard from him... but... did we really need to big grandios of a speech when the moment itself spoke more than words could ever have said by anyone? And yes, Jesse was crying because yes he was a part of the wheels that set this exact moment in motion back in the 60's and to see his, Martin's, Malcolms, and many others' hard work finally come to fruition was a bit overwhelming to him! There was no need for a memorable earth-shattering speech, the moment was unforgettable enough. But don't' worry Mr. Cool, he'll have four years to make it up to you. Hopefully, by then you'll have made an album that "moves" us to believe you're not just a slightly over hyped rapper from Chicago.

Magic Accused of Faking Aids?

I swear... this world is going to hell in a nice pretty pink and white hand basket! If I didn't know any better, I'd think this election is bringing out the bigot in all the pink-toes. That's just my opinion. Anyways, on Wednesday two Minneapolis talk radio hosts at KTLK accused Magic Johnson of faking his HIV/AIDS.

Chris Baker and Langdon Perry made the remarks during Baker's conservative talk show on Wednesday. The context for the remarks wasn't clear. According to a partial transcript and audio clip posted on a media watchdog site, mediamatters.org, the remarks came after a caller complained about demands on workers. How in the hell that ties in to Magic and HIV/AIDS is beyond me, but Perry responded by asking about treatable diseases that a person can live with for a long time.

"If you just get some basic drugs."Baker responded,

"Like Magic Johnson?"Perry replied,

"Like Magic with his faked AIDS. Magic faked AIDS."Baker said,

"You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?"Perry replied,

"I'm convinced that Magic faked AIDS."

"Me too," Baker said.

Magic issued a statement on Thursday saying that he was outraged by the comments that Baker and Perry said. That he couldn't understand how they could try to minimize such a serious and deadly issue.

"Millions are dying from HIV/AIDS, and the fact that they would make jokes about my status is unbelievable," Johnson said. "Chris and Langdon and KTLK should use their power in a more positive light by encouraging people to get tested for this disease instead of making up such ridiculous lies."

Back in 1991, Magic was diagnosed with HIV and subsequently retired from the NBA at 32 years old and still in his prime. I remember when it came out, a friend of mine took it really bad. Magic was one of his idols back then and for many young aspiring basketball players it was a shock and big disappointment. But it's life. And this is what happens when you don't protect yourself. But for these two assholes to say that he FAKED his status??? Are you kidding me? Who in their right mind would risk coming out with such devastating news. Not just to family and friends but to the entire world!!!!!!! You know... these necons are killin me with their closet racism issues. I'd like to take each one of them and shove them into the worst crime ridden neighborhoods in America and let those residents just have their way with them!!! I wouldn't even care what happened to them! I'm for real when I say this too! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! I'm not prejudice but I'll admit, I'm damn near on the brink of destruction with it this year!!!
