Que Mosley Has Blonde Ambitions

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 01:47:00 +0000

If I never thought Que from Day 26 was gay before... I am thoroughly convinced now! Over the weekend, Que's girlfriend and ex Danity Kane member Dawn Richard posted a tweet with a caption that read:

“mr” got a fly new color fade .. i think its fly .. thinking outside the “blonde box”.

Hmmm... the last time a black dude in the R&B came out with some blonde/platinum hair was back in the late 90's early 00's and that was Sisqo's punk ass... and we all know how that ended! Either way, I AIN'T FEELIN IT DUDE!!!

Frankie Attacks Chili... Where's The Love???

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:10:00 +0000

Oh Frankie, Frankie, Frankie... when the hell are you going to sit the f*ck down and shut the f*ck up? I just need Keyshia to send Frankie on a mysterious cruise to nowheresville and make sure she doesn't come back!!! I'm sure some of you guys would hate that because chick is pure comedy and she's always got some sort of drama going on. Well... this time, she doesn't disappoint.

Frankie went on the V103's Ryan Cameron show recently and while there, Ryan asked about the incident that went down 2 weeks ago between Frankie and Chili... yes, Chili from TLC. Well... the incident was really between Frankie and her cracked out alter-ego who took over once Chili didn't show Frankie the love she felt she deserved.

Here's what happened according to FreddyO.com:

Frankie wanted to take a picture with Chili cause she’s her biggest fan. All I am going to say is Frankie had too many drinks and her alter-ego took over. Chili who was doing an interview at the time was caught by surprise when Frankie ran over to give her a hug. Frankie didn’t like Chili’s return hug. Chili then walked to where Yung Joc was standing not thinking anything of it and started conversing with him. Out of nowhere, here comes Frankie leaping on top of me trying to get Chili and pushing everyone out of the way in the process. “You think you better than me,” ” You think you better than me” again Frankie shouted to Chili. Remember, by this time Frankie was officially lit! Chili asked if she was ok and then Frankie tries to grab her again. Chili pushed her hand away and stating “Are you serious?” Frankie then yelled “my daughter is better than you any way”..! I respect Chili so much because the entire time she was calm I have to say that I think I would have lost it.

LMAO!!! I'm sorry... that's some funny stuff!

Real Chance of Love 2: Back In The Saddle

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:39:00 +0000

I was soooo not anticipating this day, but it's finally here. VH1 has brought back the Stallionaire brothers Real and Chance for part 2 of Real Chance of Love 2: Back In The Saddle.

Last season we saw Real choose "Corn Fed", a shy little white girl from Fargo North Dakota who had never dated a black guy ever in her life. Chance, on the other hand, chose no one (surprise surprise). This season, the guys will have another 20 ladies to choose from. I don't care too much about these two dudes, but I must admit that the last season was very entertaining to say the least. I can't wait to see what foolishness will occur this go around.

Ciara Reveals New Hair Cut

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 05:06:00 +0000

I guess summer 09 is the season for change and individuality for the ladies. From new tats to new and way out hair cuts, I think we're seeing it all. This is a first for Ciara. She's had long hair since she first came out. I don't know if I actually like the look or the fact that we're seeing something new from Ciara. Ci Ci took to her twitter page and posted these pics for all to see her new bob cut. Ci Ci's stylist by the way, is named Kiyah Wright, who has styled everyone from Mary J. Blige to Tyra Banks. Let me hear your thoughts on the pics.

Alfamega Sends A Statement & Song Apologizing To The World

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 20:17:00 +0000

Former PSC member and label mate to T.I., Alfamega, supposedly has been hiding out somewhere for the last two months or so. Why? Quite honestly several things are playing out in my mind, but I won't speculate just yet on them.

Back in April Alfamega, whose real name is Cedric Zellars, was caught with a loaded .40 calibur semi-automatic gun after a routine traffic stop. Once the police found the weapon, he then attempted to escape police custody.

After he was arrested and released, the SmokingGun.com obtained a police report saying that the 37 year old rapper had been an informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration in a heroin-trafficking case during the 1990s.

It's not clear if this knowledge alone was the reason why Alfamega was released from the Grand Hustle team by T.I., but him being dropped coincidentally occured when this all came out... so you be the judge.

Anyways, Alfamega has released a song and statement giving an apology for being a part of the gangster images in our society. He says that he has now found God and plans to change his ways. He sent a the statement and the song over to Straightfromthea.com. It's being said by some that another rapper made Alfamega write this statement, so it's a bit shaky on whether or not this is even genuine. Check out the letter:

“This song, is an apology to anyone from age 8 to 80, that’s affiliated with or in any gang, To every parent (mother or father) that has lost a child to gang violence, every sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin, partner or whomever that has lost a loved one or a friend to gang violence either by death or prison. Even if I never met you or have known you personally, I want to apologize for being the root of the evil that is plaguing the youth of today, & I beg you for forgiveness the same way i would beg GOD to forgive me for every sin that i have committed, because i am 37 years old now, & i have finally become to realize by watching my own children that i wasn’t teaching something positive i was only teaching negatively”.

Sincerely yours,
Alfamega

P.S. I would like to end by saying, “Violence Only Begots Violence,” Lets move to a more positive direction & I sincerely, hope that people understand me & what I am trying to say in this song.

GOD BLESS US ALL”.

Aubrey O'Day Has That Certain... Tattoo

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:31:00 +0000

Nothing wrong with getting a tattoo. They're now a part of the norm in society. Damn near everyone 8 to 80 has one or two or three or a gazillion. Aubrey O'Day got herself a new one just last week. As you can see from the pics, the tat reads "je ne sais quoi", which is French and used to describe an elusive quality or a pleasing person. Hmmm... pleasing... and on the middle finger of all places...? My mind has gone in many directions on this one... but you can make your own conclusions here.

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 15:48:00 +0000

Kandi Burruss Speaks On Her Relationship

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 14:48:00 +0000

For months now I had been hearing many things about Kandi Burress' fiance Ashley. Now, Natasha, over at YBF.com got to speak with new ATL Housewife Kandi Burruss about the many rumors that have been going around about her fiance Ashley Jewell. What the rumors were saying is that dude has 6 kids and that's he's not handling his business when it comes to these babies.

I'm really hoping that all of this is covered in the new season of the show because Kandi's mother has issues with her relationship with Ashley as well. Check out what Kandi had to say to YBF:

Yes it’s true. My fiancé does have 6 children. And that in itself is a big problem with my mother. I didn’t know going into the relationship exactly how many kids he had. Or his situation with them. So there was some deceit. She’s not happy at all. They fought hard before taping the show and during the show. Then after the show stopped taping she went in even harder. It’s a constant battle.
When asked why people are calling her fiance a deadbeat dad Kandi answered:
That I don’t know. Since we’ve been in a relationship, his kids come over A LOT. His twin daughters even live with us now. But before we were together, I can’t say how he was as a dad since I don’t know. But as for now, he’s great with his kids.

I'm getting the feeling that he may ONLY be being a "good dad" because Kandi and the show. Its gotta be an image thing is what I'm sayin. Of course he didn't care too much before the taping began, but now that his business is going to be worldwide, that puts him definitely on blast. Oh well!

Ne Yo Explains Concert Exit

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 14:23:00 +0000

I must say that I definitely agree with many in the industry when I say that Ne Yo is by far one of the few "professional" artists out there that exude class when it comes to what he does and how he presents himself. Which is why I totally feel for him for what he had to endure the other night while performing a show in Manchester England. The singer ended up leaving the stage in tears. Not just small tears but it's being reported that he was really really crying.

The fans in the audience thought that it was because he had been doing several Michael Jackson songs and assumed that he was emotional because of MJ's passing. But what was going on was the singer was battling himself physically because he was not feeling well. Apparently there are some folks who are calling Ne Yo "soft" for crying... but Ne Yo went on Global Grind and has something to say to those folks

Basically, I have an issue with not knowing when to say enough is enough, so last night in Manchester, my body said it for me.I got on stage energized and ready to go, even tho for the last 5 days I’ve been dealing with a sinus infection. I paid it no real mind, and kept on going, like I always do. My voice couldn’t take it. From the first song I knew something was wrong. I shoulda stopped there, but I come from a school where no matter what, the show must go on. It wasn’t until about 4 songs in that I came to the painful realization that my voice was done, literally nothing left, and that I would have to stop the show.

Now let me explain something to you: When I say this music, that stage, my fans, THIS is my life, I’m not saying it cause it sounds good in a sound bite. THIS IS MY LIFE!! Not much else matters to me, honestly.My music, my family and the people that appreciate my music…..the fans. THAT’S ABOUT IT!!I’ve never had to stop a show, never dreamed I’d ever have to. So when I had to walk out on that stage and tell 12,000 of the people responsible for making me who I am that I could not perform for them, it literally broke my heart.I cried harder than I have in a very long time with no shame whatsoever.

To anyone out there that would like to question my manhood because of this I’ll say this to you: If the one thing you cared about more than anything else in the world was threatened or even taken from you, if you knew that the people you cared for the most you had to disappoint and it was your fault… and this didn’t spark some kind of emotional outbreak within you…then with no shame I’ll say you are truly a stronger man than I.

Here is the vid from that night.

Antoine Walker Arrested For Writing Bad Checks To Casinos

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 13:57:00 +0000

I just don't understand some of the ball players. Aaaaaaall that money you've been making over the years and you're out writing bogus checks??? Are you kidding me dude? All this time and you haven't invested in a financial player to foresee you through the hard times?

Former Boston Celtic, now free agent, Antoine Walker was arrested Thursday morning inside the Harrah's Casino in South Lake Tahoe. His charge: owing nearly $1 million in gambling debts.

Walker, who has been on 6 teams and in the league for 13 years, had a warrant issued for his arrest earlier this week for owing over $822,000 in gambling debts and faces three felony counts for writing bad checks.

Walker reportedly took out ten huge loans from several casinos, all around $100,000 each, most of which has not been paid back. Under Nevada law, casino loans are just like bank checks. If you sign the marker, you owe that money whether you win or lose.

After he was arrested he posted a $135,000 bond. Walker is due in Las Vegas Justice Court on Monday (July 20).

No Destiny's Child Reunion

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 13:44:00 +0000

I've never been a Destiny's Child fan anyway so this news right here is a-ok with me! Recently former DC member Kelly Rowland dispelled all those rumors that she and her two former bandmates were back in the studio working on something new.

Kelly Rowland has denied that she and former Destiny's Child bandmates Beyoncé Knowles and Michelle Williams are working on another album.

The 'Work' singer encouraged fans to ignore the reports and insisted that the trio, who split in 2005, are concentrating on their solo careers.

Rowland told the New York Post's PopWrap blog: "There is no Destiny's Child album in the works. None of us have talked about an album or anything. And until we do, no-one else should worry about it. Simmer down now!"

Rowland's ex bandmate Williams recently announced that she will be playing the role of Roxie Hart in London's West End production of Chicago. {Source}

I'm sure there are plenty of you out there that were so looking forward to another DC reunion and have just had your heartsbroken by all of this. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but hey... you got all those yummy Beyonce albums to rock to and those Kelly and Michelle.... wait... do those two even done anything on the solo tip that is jam worthy?

Rihanna's New Hair Do

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 13:23:00 +0000

Because no one can ever have an original idea of their own these days, Rihanna has followed in that same category. Just as Eve, Cassie, La La and I'm sure many others we don't know, Ri Ri has gone and done the head shave look too.

I'm just sayin... she's actually gone a bit further than the others by shaving her head all the way around. I don't know... this look is more her style, I guess I wouldn't be so down on it if she had been the first to do it because it would be just like her to do something like this... first.

Whatever, you like it I love it.

Tons of Unreleased Micheal Jackson Music On It's Way

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:26:00 +0000

I am super excited to hear this news. According to Sony Music CEO, Tommy Mottola, in the wake of his death, Michael Jackson has left the fans a special gift. Michael has recorded tons of unreleased songs that could last decades.

How awesome is that? Michael's career spans over four decades and with the news of unreleased music, it very well could be that some of this music may date back decades as well.

Mottola stated that for every twelve songs that Mike recored while he was with Sony, he also recorded another fifteen to twenty songs that went unreleased!!! That is amazing. This shows how serious Mike was to his music. Can you imagine what's in store and what is waiting in those Sony and Epic vaults?

I know that Michael and Tupac are on two different playing fields in this game, but we all know how we've been hearing a new Tupac song or album damn near every year since he's been dead and it's been over twelve years since his death. So imagine how long we'll be hearing new Michael Jackson tracks??? Crazy right?

I don't know about you guys, but I'm geeked about it all. This unreleased music could possibly hold some of Mikes best work ever. I can't wait! It remains to be seen if we'll actually get to hear every single song, but just a small taste of those songs would suffice for most of us!

Soldier Boy Tells Em... And Shows Em!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:55:00 +0000

This little boy is killin me softly!!! He goes from random ass rants on twitter about leaving the music industry and the stress of it all being to much to now tweeting for the ladies only. Guess he's taking a cue from Pretty Ricky member Spectacular. It's all to boost album sales I'm sure. But these pictures... there are too many things running through my mind. OH NO NO NO NO... not those kinds of things... but just like "WHY?" You know there are young girls out there that really like this dude and he goes and does this? These can't possibly be pictures for grown ass women... I don't think ANY grown women like him like that... well women like Frankie might! LOL!!! Sorry... I'm just sayin!

New Lady In Young Jeezy's Life?

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:36:00 +0000

Well lookey lookey lookey... what do we have here? A new love interest perhaps? Whatever the case may be, my fellow ATLien, FreddyO, over at FreddieO.com was able to take a few snap shots of the mystery woman that is seen here getting out of Young Jeezy's corvette the other night at the club. Maybe she's in the industry and he was just giving her a ride to the club? Could be that she's just a homie. Hmmm... only time will tell.

McNair Didn't Leave A Will

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:48:00 +0000

Mechelle McNair has more than her share of things to take in right now. Other than dealing with the untimely death her her husband Steve McNair, the fact that he was cheating on her with a 20 year old GIRL, and he had a secret residence that she knew nothing about, she has to be the executor over his expansive estate.

A Nashville judge has appointed Mechelle McNair as the only person to preside over coming up with divying up McNairs property because he didn't leave a will.

A probate judge in Davidson County granted Mechelle McNair's request to administer the estate and he also gave her 60 days to file an inventory of her husbands assets with the court.

She told the court in documents filed on Tuesday that she had no idea how much her husband was worth, which is crazy to me. How don't you know? Well, nevermind, I keep forgetting to consider all of the elements of this story. The court did, however, deem that everything was large enough to have an administrator over it.

I just hope she does the right thing by the other two sons that Steve has from a previous relationship. Some women are sheisty like that. Mechelle has named herself and the two boys that she and Steve had, as the sole heirs.

Sneak of Da Week~ Nike Air Jordan Fusion IV "Military Blue"

noreply@blogger.com (Candy) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:02:00 +0000

I'm really diggin these Jordans especially with the Military Blue. The Air Jordan Fusion IV (4) ‘Military Blue’ which is set to release next month is the latest sneak to be released in the Jordan installment of sneaks. This AJ Fusion 4 model takes its color design straight from the colors of the original 1989 Jordan IV Military Blue as well as the Air Jordan IV Retro release in 2006. Its the second Air Jordan Fusion IV to drop this summer, with the Air Jordan Fusion IV (4) - White/Varsity Red hitting retailers at earlier this month.

This makes three AJ colorway sneaks that are hitting the shops this summer. The first is what you see in the military blue AJ, the second is the “Cement” Air Jordan 4 which is composed of a white base, with cement grey, black and varsity red accents. The final sneak features the typical “Bred” colorway composed of a black upper with varsity red and stealth accents.

Watch for the Military Blue Air Jordan Fusion IV (4) to hit FootLocker and House of Hoops retailers on August 1st. Be on the lookout for all four colorways of the Air Jordan Fusion 4 (IV) to release in August for $145.
