Baldwin Hills is nicknamed the Black Beverly Hills for its large number of wealthy African-Americans who reside in the neighborhood. And it’s clear that a majority – - if not all – - of these kids are pretty well off financial thanks to their parents.

You know what, I for one am happy that Usher is dating Tameka Foster. He could have any supermodel with unattainable beauty, but he got himself a real woman with a real woman’s body. The only problem I have is the fact that she is a divorcee with one…two…three kids, that’s a lot for any 26 year old man to take on. [Source]

Everyone seems to question why T.I. is with Tameka “Tiny” Cottle from Xscape fame. Straight from the horse’s [T.I.] mouth, “she means to me what my mother meant to me as a kid. Somebody that you know is consistently there, has your best interests at heart, and if ain’t nobody else there in the world, she gon’ be there. Tiny’s filled that spot in my life.”
So I guess we all need to stop hating, or just change our names to “Tameka”.

This clip is too funny. Darius McCray gives Karrine Steffans a foot massage. Toward the end of the video she refers to him as her husband. I’m quite sure it’s a publicity stunt because I can’t see anyone other than Bobby Brown turning this “video vixen” into a housewife. Video available at www.karrine.com.
Hint: Singer, Not Usher, Not Bishop Don Juan

At least two companies have pulled ads from the debut of BET’s Hot Ghetto Mess,” a series that critics say puts black stereotypes on display but the channel calls “a blend of tough love and State Farm Insurance Cos. and Home Depot asked BET to drop their ads from the series debuting July 25, trade paper The Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday.
The six-episode series is hosted by comedian Charlie Murphy. It’s based on a Web site that features photos of men and women, mostly black, with extreme hairstyles and clothing typically linked to hip-hop fashion.
But the show and the web site have drawn accusations of being demeaning to blacks from critics including What About Our Daughters, a blog and audio podcast that focuses on how black women are depicted in popular culture.
The blog called for advertisers featured on a BET Web page promoting “Hot Ghetto Mess” to withdraw support of BET and its properties, and said it would complain to companies that sponsor the series.
“This is just a latest in a prolonged and consistent pattern of BET profiting off of promoting images that malign and degrade African Americans,” a posting on What About Our Daughters said of “Hot Ghetto Mess.” [Source]
My Opinion: They should just take the ghetto out of it because that’s a bit to classist for me. What is up with using “Sambo’ in the logo; Two steps foward and one step back.
According to MTV News, Randy Hubbard Parker was found dead over the weekend in his apartment in Atlanta. My heart goes out to his family and they are definitely in my prayers. Below is an excerpt from the article:
Simone Parker, KRS-One’s wife and Randy’s mother, said Tuesday (July 10) in a statement that her son’s death was related to “severe depression.” The family is planning a private memorial service in Florida on July 18, which would have been Randy’s 24th birthday. Plans for an August memorial service in New York are under way.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office said Parker died on Friday from a gunshot wound to the head, and listed the cause of death as suicide.
KRS-One was on tour overseas with producer Marley Marl and was not available for comment at press time, but the statement conveyed his and Simone Parker’s appreciation to everyone who has offered condolences.
A private memorial will be held for Parker on July 18, on what would have been his 24th birthday. A New York memorial service is soon to follow.
