Colin Powell Lets Loose!

I love to see politicians cut loose, and Colin Powell did just that. The former U.S. Secretary of Defense was at a benefit and hopped on stage to jam out to some hip hop! Loves it!

Oprah... can I just have $1?

Saying the name Oprah just screams MONEY doesn't it? Well if you don't think so, here's some information to change your mind. TV Guide revealed she makes $385 million a year! Do you hear me people... A year!

That means she makes at least one million dollars a day - at least $43,000 an hour. Do you know what I make an hour? 3 packs of Skittles. Yeah, I get paid in candy; Oprah's buying gumdrop forests and I'm still saving up to buy Candyland.

Ignore just how astronomical that sum is for one second and explain how one even goes about calculating that amount of cash? Do calculators even go up to $385,000,000? Forget the addition, think about what Oprah could do with that money? She has the ability to give every single person in the United States $1 to vote for Barack Obama and still have $81 million left over as fancy hat money. And that's just one year's earnings - O ain't leaving this planet any time soon. She's only 54 years old!

Most people would think "well played, Oprah" upon hearing that figure - it is an incredible accomplishment - but I think the smartest player in this game is Gayle King. You don't want to earn the money, you want to be linked up with the ATM, I mean, friend. Let's recall that Gayle even got to have her own show for a while, just cuz. That, my friends, is one smart ladyfriend.

Coca Cola Get's a Fashion Make-Over

Fashion icon Roberto Cavalli has created another pretty dress for a "coca cola bottle shaped" model; the actual Coca Cola bottle itself. Starting in Fall 2008, Coke Light bottles will have a new look. The limited run of 300,000 bottles will be distributed exclusively in Italy from September through December. "I had a lot of fun creating three different "dresses" for the legendary silhouette of the Coca Cola Light Contour. They are seductive and feminine, in typical Cavalli style. They’re designed for the world of young people, which has always been a great inspiration to me," notes the designer.

I would have liked to see a different print though. I'm not for the whole garanimal print motif.

Will Smith Shakes His Money Maker

Will Smith is one man who can definitely put his money where his mouth is and here is some news he can sho'nuff take to the bank along with all of them zeros on his checks:

The Hancock star is the top-paid actor in Hollywood, according to the latest figures from the number crunchers over at Forbes.com. Based on salaries earned between June 1, 2007, through June 1, 2008, Smith bested all competitors, male or female, raking in an estimated $80 million for his big-screen efforts.

His nearest moneymaking rival is Johnny Depp, whose pirate's booty totaled $72 million. How can I be down... all I'm askin! But I guess it's not bad for a year's work huh!

Donatella Versace Dedicates Collections To Barack

I know I'm late on reporting this story because it broke at the latter part of last month, but I just had to put it on here. Anything shedding the ultra elusive light of positivity concerning Barack Obama, is something worth posting no matter how old.

Donatella Versace was quoted as calling the U.S. presidential hopeful “the man of the moment,” and in doing so, Versace dedicated her spring/summer 2009 collections to Obama, creating a style she said was designed for “a relaxed man who doesn't need to flex muscles to show he has power.” I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT!!!! PREACH!!!!

Although she did have one suggestion for the democratic nominee, “I would get rid of the tie and jazz up the shirt,” she said. He's fine just like he is. But I guess suggestions never hurt anyone!

Go Big Girl What You Gon' Do!

Big girls need love too right? Back that thang up girl!!! I see Mario Lopez is enjoying the thickness of the young lady. During a recent tapping of MTV's "Americas Best Dance Crew", an audience member came on stage to show Mario how it's really done! YOU BETTA WORK!

Ludacris Lands Multi-Million Dollar Deal With AT&T

Ludacris just signed a multi-million dollar deal with phone giant AT&T, making himself the first hip-hop act to land such a large contract with the company.

He’ll lend his likeness to online and TV ads promoting the service and he just wrapped shooting of his first commercial. "I had a lot a fun shooting this commercial,” Luda said. “If you like the AT&T commercials you've seen then you'll love this one."

The rapper plays a guy who doesn’t have AT&T phone service and misses an important call. The “phone,” also played by Luda, tells viewers exactly what he missed out on by not having service. His installment in the campaign will begin running next month.

On the music front, Luda’s putting the final touches on his sixth studio project, concept album Theater of Mind, slated for an October release. I'm not too geeked about buying that album. I've never been a fan of his. Well, I am when he's on somebody else's song, but his own stuff sucks! JMO!

And on the big screen, the rapper/actor will star in the new Guy Ritchie movie, RocknRolla with Idris Elba and the theater adaptation of the video game Max Payne, with Mark Wahlberg. Both flicks will also be coming out in October.

Al Gore Shows He's Down With The "Scissor Gang Mafia"

Al Gore was seen in this picture hanging out with the some of today's youth and becoming a part of todays "scissor gang mafia". For you lames, it's not a real gang, just people throwing up the "peace" sign, i.e. imulating a pair of scissors... duh!!! That was for those who took the "fist bump" out of context too.

When asked about his affiliation with the oh so bad "SGM", Al responded saying, “I was freestyling. That’s all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever. That is what MC’s do. They freestyle when called upon.” Say word? That's what's up!

I'm not mad at this picture one single bit. Al Gore hanging with the homies is so dope. There's nothing like the old mingling with the new. This is the epitome of what life should be. One world, one sound! This is the stuff our young generation wants. They want to know that older and more mature adults understand them. Way to go Al!
