It’s certainly the year of the cougars. The cougars are taking over, and soon their won’t be any young men for the young women. You know the saying, Once they go old…Okay, so there isn’t a saying, but their needs to be…

Here are some pictures of Deelishis at a Private Bowling Party at Lucky Strike in Miami, hosted by Swagga Entertainment and Dunk Ryder Records. Now usually I am a woman of words, many words for those of you who know me, but I have no words. This should have been a caption this contest because I need someone else to speak for me. If this outfit was worn on the beach, I probably wouldn’t have much to say, except a suggestion of a one-piece, but this is not on the beach or near any water, this is in a bowling alley. It’s amazing what airbrushing can do to a picture because I never noticed any of this before…

Is it a full moon outside? Snoop Dogg doesn’t get arrested, he’s receives a ticket for possession of marijuana. J Holiday on the other hand was arrested for possession discovered during a traffic stop in which he was pulled over for speeding. Ne-Yo was arrested for driving reckless without a valid license. Poor Ne-Yo, that is not a reason to be arrested.

I am disappointed in Kelly Rowland, this is an example of poor wardrobe taste. It makes her seem desperate, and sometimes “any press just isn’t always good press”. These pictures were taking of Kelly Rowland as she performed at club G-A-Y Astoria in London. I understand these party can be edgy, but I guess it’s the poor record sales that make me suspect of Kelly Rowland’s choice. If she had performed in this get up at the height of Destiny Child’s career, maybe I would have accepted it more. Actually, if it had just a little bit more fabric, it wouldn’t be so bad.

It’s so sad he was only 28 and had a great future in front of him. He leaves behind a two year old daughter, Matilda, that he shared with ex-girlfriend Michelle Williams of Dawson Creek fame. I don’t understand why people do drugs, and think that they will be different, that they will not succumb to the power of the drug, and that they can kick the habit whenever they want. I want go over-board, because I do respect the loss of others, no matter how they died, but this is tragic, unnecessarily tragic. Heath Ledger played in Brokeback Mountain, Monster’s Ball, A Knight’s Tale, and 10 Things I Hate About You, to name a few. [Read More]

New York Times Report:
WHITE PLAINS — Marion Jones, the track and field star who pleaded guilty in October to lying to federal agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs and her connection to a check-fraud case, was sentenced to six months in prison at the United States District Court here on Friday.
United States District Judge Kenneth M. Karras’s decision on jail time agreed with the recommendations of prosecutors and sentencing guidelines, which were well below the maximum five years that she faced. But he also ordered her to perform 400 hours of community service during each of her two years of probation.
For about 20 minutes, the judge explained his reasoning, saying that although she admitted to the crimes, he was not convinced that she had come clean about her knowledge of the drugs that she was taking.

I go back and forth on this girl and right now I feel for her. Yes, I am sympathetic. I wanted Brit-Brit to lose custody of her kids, but not during a mental breakdown where she could have possibly harmed herself or the kids. The paparazzi were practically in the ambulance with her. Man, I guess there is a price to fame, and man does it cost.

Why do celebrities do the things they do? Check out Mariah Carey’s dog, yes dog, this poor baby is smothered in clothes to protect him from the cold. If it’s so cold outside why not let the puppy stay inside where the heat is? I guess it would mess up her outfit, dogs are the new accessories and without him her outfit just isn’t complete. I’m not trying to be mean, and I am certainly not a member of PETA, but honestly Snoopy looks uncomfortable. I certainly hope that’s fur faux around his neck.

I have given up trying to figure out the Jackson family, and most importantly Michael. I don’t know if he’s cross-gendering or cross-racing, but I do know he has changed to the point he is unrecognizable as a human being. I don’t want to sound mean because obviously I know he’s touched, but this has cross the point of ridiculousness, it’s just sad. When I see him, I feel a tug in my heart, the same sympathetic tug I get when I see a homeless person or a starving child. I just want to reach out and hug him, save him.

It’s weird how our little blog world connects, Mind of Marcus was just blogging about this cat, and then I visit That’s Not Hot and see this photo of him. I now understand why people have a problem with the hip-hop generation. I can now look through the glasses of my grandma and see what she sees. After I saw this picture it was over, and I am just speechless; so I’m letting you do the talking. What’s wrong with this picture? Why does it bother me so?

Ashanti’s 18 year-old little sister, Shia (Shi-Shi) is ready to show the world she is a super star, too. Now, I don’t know if Ashanti bought her this dress, or if she stole it out of her closet, but someone needs to intervene because miss Shi-Shi is crying out for attention. There are other things I could say about this picture, but I want because it’s rude and mean spirited. All I can say is don’t grow up too fast and don’t let her hang out with Bobbi Kristina.
Oh, How They Grow-Up

Oh my what is she doing? After I think she hit rock bottom, I find she has a bottomless pit, her standards keep getting lower and lower. I feel bad because I just bought her album, Back to Black, and I feel like I am now contributing to this behavior. Amy Winehouse, please keep your pants on. All your clothes for that matter, the other day she was shirtless, and now she is pantless…I guess we all know what’s next.

14 year-old Bobbi Kristina is not only smoking, but allowing herself to be photographed smoking. Most people aren’t surprise, but I am. I know she’s heard her share of crack-head jokes, and I know she has seen her mother without her teeth. My point is, if I had such parents, the last thing I would do is touch drugs. I mean she has first hand experience of what drugs can do. I wouldn’t even drink mineral water if I was her, but I guess some people need to learn the hard way. Maybe rehab is a rite of passage in the Brown-Houston household.

Foxy Brown was sentenced to 76 days in solitaire after a fight with another inmate at Rikers Island. This is the second incident for Foxy Brown, who had an altercation with another inmate just earlier this month. According to public records, Foxy was abusive toward correctional guards and refused to take a random drug test. Talk about pattern, I just knew jail would straighten her out, but obviously Ms. Brown has a temper problem or a drug problem or both.

Now, I just watched this man on BET defending hip-hop and I am almost mad. After Mike Vick went down in Atlanta, you would think every rapper, entertainer, and baller doing something illegal would just stop. Now I am very suspicious of a bodyguard buying weapons who has only been employed for a couple of months, but even still, how stupid is stupid? Why do people want to have so much street credit and keep it so real that they become self destructive? Honestly, was T.I. expecting a Scarface style invasion, why would he need an arsenol of weapons that he can’t even use?

TI Arrested On Weapons Charges

I could not believe the news. This just doesn’t look good for hip-hop. Rapper T.I. was arrested by the ATF for weapons charges just moments before the BET Hip Hop Awards. Here’s an excerpt from the article:
The entertainer, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was arrested in a federal sting Saturday after his bodyguard-turned-informant delivered three machine guns and two silencers to the hip-hop star, according to a Justice Department statement. Authorities said that Harris, 27, provided the bodyguard $12,000 to buy the weapons, which Harris is not allowed to own because he is a convicted felon.
Authorities said they found three more firearms in the car in which Harris drove to pick up the machine guns and silencers, “including one loaded gun tucked between the driver’s seat where Harris had been sitting and the center console.” At his home, authorities found six other guns, five of them loaded, in his bedroom closet.
The sting came after Harris’ bodyguard was arrested purchasing the machine guns and silencers from an undercover Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent Wednesday, according to the Justice Department statement. The bodyguard then agreed to cooperate with the ATF, the statement said.
The guns were not registered on the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record as required by law. The bodyguard — who has worked for Harris since July — told authorities he had bought about nine guns for the rap star in the past, the statement said.
On Wednesday, authorities said, Harris arranged for the bodyguard to pick up $12,000 in cash from a bank to buy the guns. After his arrest, the bodyguard made phone calls to Harris, which authorities recorded, the statement said. Harris was supposed to pick up the guns after meeting the bodyguard in a shopping center parking lot in midtown Atlanta. Authorities arrested Harris there without incident, the Justice Department statement said. [Source]
MG Says: Something doesn’t seem right. T.I. trusted a bodyguard to do his dirty work and he has only known him for three months? I think the bodyguard was undercover from the start. I’m not saying T.I. isn’t wrong, but I refuse to believe he is this stupid. So I smell entrapment, and this feel likes an real life episode of The Wire. Anyway here are some pictures of the TI’s rehearsal of his would-be performance:

Mr. Barretto tesitmony went “unchallenged and unrefuted”, and now Britney Spears may lose temporary custody of her two son, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

MG Says: Why I am I posting this story and all the other stories about Brit-Brit, because I am a mother and I can’t understand why another mother would behave this way. If she is “sick” then she needs to get well so that she can be a respectful mother to her children.

Rappers clean up well when they have a pending court case. I remember the transition of Lil Kim into a black Jackie Onassis, during her federal trail. If only female rappers can look like this more often, they may actually sell more albums.

Jail officials will not need to make maternity accommodations for Foxy Brown — her manager says the rapper isn’t pregnant, despite her lawyer’s courtroom contention that she was.
The revelation came Wednesday as her manager and Koch Records announced that Brown would release a new album while serving a one-year jail sentence.
Brown, who hasn’t released an album since 2001’s “Broken Silence,” was sentenced Friday to one year in jail for violating probation that stemmed from a fight with two manicurists in a New York City nail salon three years ago.
In August, defense lawyers told the court that Brown was three months pregnant. But in a statement released Wednesday, her manager, Chaz Williams, said: “And to the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement: She is not pregnant.”[Source]
Remy Ma is in even deeper legal manure today, after allegedly having her heavies put the beatdown on the boyfriend of a potential witness in her earlier assault case.
TMZ has learned that Remy (real last name Smith) was at Players Club in the Bronx on August 19 when a tussle went down. At the club, Remy saw the boyfriend of a possible witness in her earlier case — in which she’s accused of the July 14 shooting of a friend she accused of stealing $2,000 from her purse — and allegedly had her posse rough him up, fracturing his face. A friend of the man was also injured, requiring hospitalization for a week.
In addition to the multiple assault and weapons charges she’s already facing for the July 14 incident, Manhattan DA spokesman Edison Alban tells TMZ that Ma is now facing charges of gang assault, tampering with a witness, intimidating a victim and third-degree assault. She was released on $250,000 bail, had to hand over her passport, and will be back in court September 20 to review her bail privileges.

El Debarge goes to jail on suspicion of domestic violence, amongst other things. According to an update on TMZ, Eldra Debarge is being held on several outstanding warrants ranging from vandalism to drugs to driving with a suspended license. On these particular warrants, bail is not an option — which means El Debarge will stay behind bars until he sees the judge.
MG Says: Oh No! He is one of my favorites, I have The Best of Debarge - The Millenium Collection. I saw him in concert at Disneyland when I was nine. Say it ain’t so! If it wasn’t for Wesley Snipes in New Jack City, I would be his biggest fan today, but Wesley Snipes took his kind out of style.
