DMX Arrested For the Second Time In One Week!

X is at it again! For the second time in a week, DMX was arrested in Miami, Fl. This time, for trying to buy marijuana and cocaine.

According to TMZ, X approached an undercover officer and handed him $45 for a combination of the drugs. DMX was just arrested on Monday for driving without a valid drivers license. These arrests seem to be taking on a pattern for DMX. Last month, he was arrested twice in Arizona. Once for speeding and days later he was nabbed for animal cruelty and drug charges. Dude, you need to get it together. I guess you can't turn a crackhead into contributing citizen.

NYC's Hot 97 Fires Miss Jones

There are a lot of happy people in the entertainment industry right now. Hot 97 in NYC has fired their controversial morning host Miss Jones. Miss Jones, real name Tarsha Jones, is being replaced with Big Boy and MTV Entertainment reporter Luscious Liz Hernandez. “Big Boy has an unmatched reputation for being entertaining… he also has great relationships with artists,” said Hot 97 programming director Ebro Darden. “Putting Big Boy on Hot 97 in New York City helps keep the high standard of radio happening for us.”

According to Darden, Miss Jones will work all of next week which will allow her enough time to bid farewell to her listeners. “Miss Jones is one of the hardest working radio people I have ever seen and she made history with Hot 97,” said Darden. “Miss Jones will have the mic in mornings all of next week so that she is given her proper respect to tell her listeners how much she appreciates them and reminisce about how great this program has been.”

Miss Jones was recently named in a federal lawsuit filed by New York lawyer Kevin Hunter. It claimed rival radio personality Wendy Williams and her husband tried to hire a hitman to knock her off.

Black Students At A High School Are Given "Ghetto" Names In A Yearbook.

“Tay Tay Shaniqua,” “Crisphy Nanos” and “Laquan White” are some of the fake “ghetto” names placed under photos of African American Students at Charter Oaks High School in a suburb of Los Angeles. A few of the students suspect that the act was a tasteless prank but they, as well as their parents, remain outraged. “A yearbook is very significant and something you always hold on to,” said Toi Jackson, whose daughter, Evanne, is member of the school’s Black Student Union. “When she shows it to her kids she will have to explain why she has the name Crisphy.” The local school board president called the act atrocious and said he has identified the student responsible. To add insult to injury, the school passed out stickers with the correct names for the students to place in the yearbook. For parents of the affected students, that gesture is not enough. They are demanding a full reprint of the yearbook.

That damn school board whould be seeing my face every damn day if that was my child. And to compensate for this embarrassment you give out stickers for kids to place over the names? Give me a break. You know more than half those kids aren't going to put those stickers over the names. That shouldn't even been an option. A full reprint should have been done. No if's, ands or buts!!!

Lupe Fiasco Disses G.W. Bush!

Once again, another artists goes bad at the Glastonbury Festival last night. Rapper Lupe Fiasco, decided that he wanted to say *uck all ya'll!!! During his performance, Lupe decided he wanted to tell how he's feeling about today's "tyrannical leaders" and he put Zimbabwe's dictator, Robert Mugabe, and our poor, idiotic president G.W. Bush, both in the same barrell of clowns.

“F*@K Robert Mugabe, F*@K George Bush,” he said. F*@k politics, democrats, socialists, the Labor party. Music’s what it’s all about.” He has yet to receive any backlash from anyone here in the states, and I'm sure he won't considering our current situation and why we're in it in the first place. But if you remember, The Texas trio, The Dixie Chicks made a much milder statement about Bush and received a goo-gob of backlash. But I'm sure those folks has since rethought that situation and have come to the conclusion tha maybe the Dixie Chicks were actually on to something!!! Ya Think???

Fantasia Dropped!

Not from her label, as most of you were thinking, but from her mangement. 19 Management has reportedly dropped the American Idol season 3 winner for poor record sales. I highly doubt that though. Isn't it usually your label that drops you for poor record sales and not your management team? I'm willing to bank on it that it's because of some type of creative differences or something.

But why drop an artists who sells records, sells out concerts, give a hell of a performance, she acts, and writes books? She's bringing you too much money! I'm sure the truth will come out soon, and when it does, I'll be there to catch those few drops of rayne!

Amy Winehouse Takes A Shot At Kanye

Yesterday, June 28, at the Glastonbury Festival in the U.K., British singer Amy Winehouse decided to throw a straight shot to the chin in hip hopper Kanye West.

The Glastonbury Festival has, in the past seemingly only catered to white guitar based bands, but has since decided to take another turn to diversify the festivities. It's added hip hop icon Jay-Z to it's latest line up and that move alone has caused a stir amongst the musicians that typically play this event. I'm not sure if that move is what prompted Winehouse to make the comment, "“At least I’m not opening for a cunt like Kanye.” She made this comment in the middle of her set with improvised lyrics to her song, "Some Unholy War".

Now ya'll know that wasn't going to go down without Kanye having something to say about it. Late last night, I'm sure once word got back to him, he put up a title only blog on his site and it read, "THIS JUST IN... AMY WHINEHOUSE HATES ME!!! NOW I'VE REALLY MADE IT!!! LOL!!!!</p>

I'm sure this is all funny to Kanye. He could probably care less about what this chick has to say. He's got bigger fish to fry like who's going to be the next person to kick him while he's down!

Russell Simmons Sets The Record Straight!

Russell Simmons is trying to clear the air in regards to how he is to provide for his children. He put on his website, a statement that very much should make it crystal to everyone who is concerned:

Friends of mine have forwarded me gossip online about my custody agreement details with Kimora. The fact is, we’ve had a pretty good partnership at sharing the girls in the past. There have been a few bumps in the road, and those bumps have led us to negotiate a minimum amount of time I’m guaranteed to see my kids. That deal is as follows: I have the girls one full week out of every eight, half of the summer, half of all the holidays, a full week at Christmas, and half of Spring Break. Like in all good partnerships, contracts are meant to protect the partners but are usually not the only way the partners work together. If I show up in L.A., where she now lives, unannounced, I can call up Kimora and she will most likely send them right over. The same goes for when she comes to New York. We have always had a school in New York and a school with the same curriculum in L.A., so when the girls are with me in New York, we can spend quality time together. I can get up with them, take them to school and just be together. Kimora consults with me about doctors or schools for the girls, but she’s always had final say in those areas. If we had an argument about a school, guess who’s going to win? But there are other stipulations in our agreement where we have to make final decisions together. Anything having to do with business decisions pertaining to my kids cannot be done without my consent.I’ve also seen a lot about people reading into the supervised visits stipulation. Kimora travels with a security guard and a nanny. In the past, she’s gotten really nervous that I never travel with security, so if it makes her more comfortable to have her security and a nanny with us when I’m with my kids, that’s OK with me.

Finally, I want to say Kimora is a excellent mother and is doing a great job with them. My kids are studying a couple of foreign languages, they travel around the world, they practice yoga, ballet, swimming, karate and piano, among other things…sometimes I think they do too much, but I trust in Kimora on this because she IS a good mother. Regarding the money, my kids live a tremendous life. They do have lots of security, nannies, educators, special programs, travel, chefs, on and on. Their mother manages all of those luxuries and I’m happy to provide for that.

With great love all things are possible.

Purse Obsession: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Hobo

I'm not really big into and I'm not a name brand "whore" who has to have everything that I wear be a certain name brand and matchy all the time. I do, however, obsess over an amazing bag. I'm not one for carrying a small clutch or even an average sized purse. Give me the big tote bag or a big hobo, just like this one. This one right here is the Rebecca Minkoff Nikki hobo and I've had my eye on it for quite some time now. Isn't she perty?

Of course I'm sure that most of you are thinking, "But it's plain looking" or "Why grey?" Niether of those concern me because it's a good material bag. It's got nice leather, and the accents on the bag and the soft material, compliment it. The color of the bag is actually called "cloud grey", but the bag, which is only available for pre-sale, will launch in the Fall 08, and comes in luscious colors like deep reds, dark purples, tantalizing greens. With the "cloud grey", you get undertones of blue and purple, so it would give lift to any of your fall wardrobe and not keep it so drab like most fall wardrobes are.

Though many stores are in the process of discounting Spring collections, and gearing up for fall, Funky La La is taking pre-orders for the "cloud grey" hobo as we speak. The bag is starting at $600, so if you want it, you better go mow some lawns, braid some hair, baby sit somebodies bad ass kids or something to get it.

Paris Hilton Gives Back!

Do ya'll understand how hard it is to find a picture of Paris Hilton where she's not looking super trampy? Anyways, the reformed bad-girl/hotel heiress is keeping good on her word to change her life around and be a better person.

Paris opened up her heart and her checkbook and gave an "extremely generous" donation toward the construction of a medical building at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, hospital officials said Thursday, although they did not specify the amount.

"The children I have met through my involvement with Childrens Hospital have truly touched my heart," Hilton said in a statement. "I am proud to make a donation and lend my name to the fundraising effort to help children who are facing terribly serious illnesses." The 460,000-square-foot Childrens Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases is expected to open in 2010.

I guess 23 hours in jail and a boyfriend who actually gives a damn about you makes a difference huh?

I Want That! Barack Obama Air Force Ones!!!!

Seems that America just can't get enough of our dear Mr. Barack Obama. Seems that famed sneaker creator Van Taylor has created this red-white& blue Air Force One "Yes We Can" Sneaker. Damn!!! This should have been my sneak of the week! Don't matter... It's my "I Want That" post! Black Eyed Peas front man Will I Am has been sporting the sneaks all over the globe. He's been at Baracks Fundraisers and the BET Awards showing of the shoes! They're priced at $500 a pair and feature the face of Barack Obama and his famed slogan "Yes We Can!" and "Change".Ten percent of proceeds from the sale of the shoes will benefit Obama’s campaign for president. That's a damn good look right there!

Chris and Rihanna Go Shopping For Snacks

The infamous "we're just really really really close friends" couple of Chris Brown and Rihanna were out in West Hollywood at a grocery store looking pretty innocent. But, how many really really really close friends go grocery shopping together? I'm not saying that they can't do that, but I mean, c'mon. I just wish they would just stop playin and admit the damn truth! I guess those nights that they're layed up together can get pretty unintersting without the snacks of gummy bears, hot cheetos, and the occasional soda. That is what the kids are eating nowadays right?

D'Angelo Is Coming Back!!!!!!

I love me some Michael Archer. I shant not post a bad picture about him! I don't care what he's looked like here recently... He will forever look like the picture above to me. Anyways, D'Angelo is coming back to us (Thank You Jesus!!!). He's been MIA from the music scene since 2000 when he released VooDoo. He is currently in the process of working on a new album which will be released sometime next year via J Records which bought D'Angelo's contract in 2005 from Virgin Records.

For his as-yet-untitled J debut, D'Angelo has already collaborated with Raphael Saadiq and also plans to record with John Mayer, according to a source. A single may be out before the end of the year. I am definitely looking forward to the reincarnation of my man D'Angelo. I know his new album is going to be hot! Just as long as he doesn't come out looking like that foolishness that we've seen. I don't know if my heart can take more of that!

Are Ricky Ross & Foxy Really Together?

It's been reported for the past several weeks that Rick Ross and Foxy Brown are an item and that they are engaged. Well, Hip Hop Weekly reported in their syndicated magazine that the couple would announce their engagement at this years BET Awards. Well, as you can see, those awards have since come and gone and still no official word from either party.

When asked about his relationship with Fox Boogie, Rick Ross didn't deny it. He did, however, shed some light on the situation with the engagement. “The engagement is speculation,” Ross told MTV News. “I’m married to the money.” So I take it it's safe to assume that this dude will never be getting married until he runs out of money??? I mean, that's what I get from that statement.

Clipse Sign New Deal

Brothers Pusha-T and Malice have inked a new record deal, this time it's with Koch Records. The deal will allow the rappers to release the Re-Up Gang's new album due out on August 5th. “We put out the “We Got It 4 Cheap” series on our own for the streets and that helped keep us visible and build the Re-Up name as an entity,” Pusha T said in a recent statement. “This time our manager got with Koch to put together an official album with new music and let Koch Records do what they do best.” The first single from the album will be the Scott Storch produced track “Fast Life.” Look for the new single to be released next week.

I'm praying that someone can "Re-Do" Malice's style because the braids are played and the stocking cap.... ugggggghhh!

Barack Is Always The Bigger Person

Once again, it's Barack Obama who is being the "bigger person". This time, it's to bail out the woman and her husband who tried to damn near throw him under the bus. Barack has told Hillary that he would help her pay off her more than $20 million debt. Last night, at Washington's Mayflower Hotel, Barack Obama met with 200 of Hillary's top fundraisers. This was the a positive move for Obama who is trying to win over some of the Hillary supporters that are still lingering.

Barack personally wrote Hillary a check for $4600. The maximum individual donation that one person could give is $2300, so Barack gave the $4600 for himself and wife Michelle.

Some Clinton donors had been frustrated that the Democratic presidential nominee-in-waiting had not done more to help her pay the bills even as they are expected to help fund his campaign. But you know what I'm wondering? Truthfully, would Hillary have helped Barack out this way had the shoe been on the other foot? Would she go to the lengths that he has to do the stuff that he has done for her here recently? IMO... I highly doubt it.

Suspect Caught In Jevon Walker Beating... Second One Still Sought After

Las Vegas police have arrested a suspect in the beating and robbery of Oakland Raiders Wide Receiver Jevon Walker, while a second suspect is still being looked for.

Arfat Fadel, 30, is charged with felonies including kidnapping, robbery, battery and conspiracy in the June 16 episode that left Walker unconscious on a street. He lost about $3,000 and $100,000 in jewelry. The strange thing about this story is that Jevon didn't even know these two dudes, but he got into a car with them. A video surveillance tape shows Walker walking in a Las Vegas casino with the two men.

“As he will readily admit, he probably had a little too much to drink and he did not pick up on the clues that Mr. Fadel was someone he probably should not have been with.” said Las Vegas police Lt. Clinton Nichols. “He willingly got in the vehicle on his own,” Nichols says. “We’re unsure why.”

Hmmm... me tinks sumting is fishy now! Could our cutie pie Mr. Jevon Walker have gotten in the car for questionable acts??? Things that make you go...hmmmmmmm????

Lenny Krackitz!

Ok... enough is enough Lenny. Put some dee-zam draws on... for heavens sakes! This is the second picture this week that I have seen of Lenny Kravitz getting into a car and his ass is all on display... literally! WTF?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta

For it's third season, Bravo has brought the "Real Housewives" series to Hotlanta. I can assure you that this season won't be like the last two that were in California and New York. I just have a strange feeling this is going to be a little more street sassy than corporate pompous like the others were.

The cast will consist of 5 ladies who are either married to atheletes, used to be married to athletes, or aspiring entrepreneurs. Below is the names of the ladies that will be appearing on the show, which airs on July 30 at midnight. But I'm trying to figure out if the show is supposed to be the "Real HOUSEWIVES"... why are there single women on here? Of course I've seen the other two seasons and I know they had single women too. But try to stay with the theme of the show Bravo. Maybe they couldn't find any housewives willing to open their lives up to the world. I'm sure this is major exposure for these ladies, so it's obvious they don't mind.

And I'm still can't figure out what possessed ol' girl to get a full arm sleeve of tats? Is that the sexy look now? Soooooo, neck tats are out now?

Kelly Rowland Takes HIV Test For Charity

Former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland was recently appointed the Ambassador for MTV's "Staying Alive" Foundation. The purpose of the foundation is empower young people to protect them against the disease.

Kelly arrived at the end of last week at the Kenyatta Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya to take a stand against the public stigma of taking the test. "For me, knowing your status is glamorous because then you get to carry that with you and you get to protect yourself," she said.

During the test, a 22 year old Kenyan man named John Ngugi sat next to Kelly in a small counseling room in the public hospital. Just like Kelly, the young Kenyan wanted to know his status, but couldn't from suppressing a large grin from the sheer excitement of sitting next to the star. "As a young person from Mathare slum and having a super star to actually have a test with," said Ngugi, "It is just a big promise for me and a big promise for my community and I am just grateful for the test."

Major props go out to Kelly for doing such an brave and hororable thing to help a country that has been riddled with the death and torment of such an illness. Just like most of Africa, Kenya is also struggling with the pandemic. UNAIDS, the joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, estimates that more than 22 million adults and children are living with HIV on the continent. You know, when it get's that widely spreaded, you have to wonder if there is anything that is being done over there at all to prevent the spread. But when you have customs in certain places where the men think that if they have AIDS and they have sex with a virgin, it will cure it, the small hope for them that you may have, seems to diminish almost completely. They are always in my prayers.

Ciara Is Next For Clothing Line Spot

The ATL cutie of Crunk'n B is positioning herself for a new clothing line. Ciara is currently is talks with discount department store Steve & Barry's to create an affordable clothing line that also incorporates her own personal style.

"I have a couple of cool things that I'm working on," Ciara shared with Billboard.biz. "The coolest thing about Steve & Barry's is they cater to everyday people. I won't say that my line will be like theirs, I want to stay true to who I am, but most importantly it has to be affordable."

Aside from Ciara trying her hand at the clothing business, she's also just signed a modeling contract with the famous Wilhelmina modeling agency. She's already one of the faces in the Rocawear ads, but the agency will be trying to cast her for clothing and fragrance ads as well. I've always thought she should model too. She's got these long legs that seem to reach the sky. She's a cute girl with a great personality, so I'm sure she'll do well all the way around.

Daily Eargasm: "Announcement" by Common f/ Pharrell

Speak On It! Diddy & Kim... too close!

At an after party after the BET Awards, Lil Kim and Diddy are seen having an albeit, innocent conversation only in the eyes of an innocent person! Not too many of those folks out there! So you speak on it! What's being said in this conversation?

Michael Strahan Ain't Scared Of Eddie Murphy!

Eddie Murphys ex-wife, Nicole Murphy has been kicking it extra hard with former NY Giants Michael Strahan for over a year and it seems to be going pretty good according to Mike. It's going so good that the two time divorcee' says he would get married again... and possibly to Nicole.

Micheal is 36, 255 lbs and 6'5"and holds the NFL's record for most sacks in a single season. Eddie Murphy on the other hand is 40, about 150-160 lbs, and about 5'9". In regards to how he feels about possibly marrying Nicole, Michael told In Touch Magazine, “If I was someone who was intimidated by Eddie,” he says, “then yeah, it would be hard.” So basically he's sayin "Eddie, you can step to me if you want to... but you and I both know how this will end!" Funny stuff!!!
