Is Eva Mendez in need of Rehab?

Photobucket

It is reported that actress Eva Mendez has decided to admit her self into rehab. For reason that were not evident to the world and her fans. From how it appears, the actress had a slight dependency and decided to sign in to rehab to take care of an emerging problem.

The cirque lodge, in Utah, is where the actress has been reported to be, for several weeks now. I few other stars has stayed here, most recent, being Lindsay Lohan.

He rep has reported:

“Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to pro-actively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support. Out of respect for Eva’s privacy, we do not wish to discuss further details.”


This is how you are supposed to do this, not wait to you spiral out of control. If you think that will not work for you it will not. It does not matter if you are a celebrity or civilian. The only way to clean something is to do the hardest part, and that is to take a stand and get things done, before the house is to dirty to clean, within a short time frame.

Realize your demons and you can expel them, if you become es-tray, and searching your soul. The first thing you must do; to find your way home, is to look within.

Get well Eva, My thoughts are with you.

Bobby Brown on Ellen:: New England Patriot Fan



Bobby Brown all geared up and ready to cheer for the New England Patriots. The Singer stopped by Ellen to talk with her briefly about a reality, that will have him and other artist from different genres of music, taking on the challenge of writing and singing country music:in which, the end result will be only one winner.

Also the one time R&B/POP star, talked about the huge misconception about his character, in which he did not expand on too much, and barely could figure it out what Ellen was asking him. Mr. Brown mentioned his children and what they aspire to do in life and currently do as far as recreation and future goals.

After all this madness, Bobby can we get an album, or see you in more films?

She is reported saying:

“I have known Hillary for many years and have seen her work passionately on many issues, including poverty, education, and prison reform,” said Simmons. “I’m proud to support Hillary because she has the experience necessary to deliver real solutions and turn our country around. In addition, seeing Hillary as President would be an inspiration to my daughters, knowing that they too can be anything they want if they have the determination to make it happen. As a mother, I have learned that you must lead with your head, not just your heart, and I’m confident that Hillary will be the President to bring our country together and deliver a brighter future for all Americans.”

All comedy aside, this is pretty interesting that Tyra Banks of all people would put together an episode like this, due to the fact that she is the inaugural $1,000,000.00 bra model, from Victoria's Secret.

By the way love that issue of Victoria's Secret, I mean catalog, I think I got my Girlfriend the cotton one for thirty bucks in the back.

Real Throwback::: Rakim- Guess who's Back?



A time existed when Lyrics mattered to the population, and garbage was not the main course, MC Hammer was getting booted off world stage. Rakim ruled the mic and soulja Boy was in preschool, and the Ying Yang twins were figuring out what to do with their lives.

This is what music is all about, not about the diamonds, the cars, the houses, the women, and the fame, but the lyrics. Rakim brought you this, and depicted colorful ideas in deep metaphor, grounded by his street wisdom and book smarts, it made him a huge figure in the Rap World, and remains the prototype to many, minus the bubble gum rappers, and the studio gangsters. From Jay-Z, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Nas(major influence in his delivery), The Game, Lloyd Banks, and yes even 50cent.

With half of the country in deep freeze including the northern parts of Arizona, many are finding out that this years Superbowl-XLII will have many stories for a long time to follow it.

Recently reported, talk show host Montel Williams will call it quits after 17 successful years on air. Mr. Williams will be replaced by his earlier years in put in rotation, and syndicated as usual.

“I can’t say thank you enough to those who’ve welcomed me into their homes for the past seventeen years,” Williams said in a statement. “It has been both an honor and a joy.”

SuperBowl XLII Madness::: Is that Ashlee Simpson?

Photobucket

Everyone is getting ready to see the Giants face off against the Patriots, and the party has made its way to Arizona. Partying is the goal and money is no object.Many are in preparation to perform, tailgate, enjoy the game, and party before and after the game. The city is young Hollywood's play ground, and the current entertainment hot spot. So it it will not be mistaken for a dull weekend, and the city will be on the map forever.

Giants Take it home, there is not doubt about it, if the patriots take it home it will never be forgotten.

Ashlee Simpson is in Arizona and she has hit the stage. The pop star has performed her smash hit L.O.V.E., and several new tracks from her upcoming release Bittersweet World.

Fall out Boy Bassist Pete Wentz( significant other ), accompanied her to the festivities in support of her efforts this weekend, as you can see these two are red carpet magnets, with the All black ensemble and similar trainers.

Simpson can be quoted telling the press; “If anything, I hope people just have a good time and dance to (the record). For me, it was fun because it was my third record, so I really got to do whatever I wanted to do with it.”

So the star may have more to show and offer this time around and with her boyfriend in the mix, I am sure that we will see a sider of her that is more from the gut, and not some pop rendition, with the hopes that it will rock out.

Rihanna:::Got Milk?



Rihanna one of the worlds highest grossing pop stars and one of the top 5 pop stars on the planet, number 3 to be exact, is branching out. The 19 year old, Barbados-Born, pop star is asking the famous question " Got Milk?" and sporting the Milk mustache. Although she looks as if she is slightly uncomfortable in this shot, as always she is good to look at.

Rihanna next time you do an add like this go for the smile you have a great display.

Britney Spears has been committed for psychiatric assistance?

Photobucket

Los Angeles- International Pop sensation Britney spears has been committed to a California psychiatric ward, early Thursday. The Pop Star had been "driving around her neighborhood like a mad woman," and refused to take her medication,it was reported.

The pop star is on a "Mental health evaluation hold" at the UCLA Medical center, the Los Angeles Timed reported.

The drama went down around 4 a.m. New York time when cops on motorbikes and a fire department ambulance rushed onto the grounds of Spears' gated Studio City mansion.

Once inside, Britney is said to have gone easily, without a struggle.

"The package is on the way," cops radioed once Spears was in hand, the Times reported.

People.com reported that Spears' mom, Lynne, friend Alli Sims, manager Osama Lutfi were all there and The Times said that cops were called in by Spears' psychiatrist.

What followed was a made-for-paparazzi spectacle: the international superstar was escorted down Coldwater Canyon Boulevard by a dozen motorcycle cops, two squad cars - and two police helicopters!

The Times reported that the line of emergency vehicles "stretched longer than a football field."

There have been several reports that Britney's family was looking to get her intensive psychological help, perhaps by holding an intervention. It seems as her family pulled the trigger on the plan to get her help after her latest bizarre behavior.

"She was driving around her neighborhood like a mad-woman," says a Spears family source. "Britney has been prescribed medication which she refuses to take. This is just another sad, sad evening."

Initially, several tabloid news websites widely reported Spears, 26, had tried to kill herself - something that was later denied by Lutfi and Sims, People.com reported.

The singer was committed by her familyand Lutfi on what is known as a 5150 in California - a law that allows someone to be held against their will if they're found to be a danger to themselves or others because of a mental illness. That was the same reason used to get Spears committed to the mental ward at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center earlier this month after her standoff with cops over her two kids.

Lutfi told ABC's Barbara Walters that Spears has been unable to sleep and is distraught because she can't see her tots - Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2. A judge has granted ex-husband Kevin Federline temporary full custody of the two and demanded Britney get psychological help.

"There is no question she is bipolar... she's had manic episodes for years," a source told People.

The Ultimate Tribute To Female Action Stars



This is a quick glance at some of the best action sequences that contained female stars.

Old School Hip Hop Video of the week:::::The message



New York City- Late in the 70's a music style emerged, and very few had an idea about this musical style and those who did not, considered it noise. Although this was the case the music grew beyond containment due to its ability to deliver a message, this style of poetic expression; allowed for many to share their thoughts, open up to the masses, and be creatively innovative.

With poignant lyrical content( when it was about the lyrics ); Grand Master Flash and the Furious five presented to the world the message. Bringing to us a new sense of music, and sharing their Community's-internal news report.

New Artist Premier ::::Casely-Emotional

Photobucket
Very rare that a young artist is allow to embody what it means to be an artist. With the recent rampage of lack luster artist minus the huge acts that are great in their respective genres, you have one come along that shows you top to bottom talent.

Casely is that artist, born of with the rich culture of Trinidad and panama in his blood, and raised in South Florida, there is enough ingredients in this gumbo stew, to cause a stir. Piano playing, Dancing, and singing to back it up, not that I forgot to mention style to deliver a full package.

Hey you one trick pony's, Step your game up, this dude is coming and he is not waiting.

Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox?

Photobucket

Wow the things you find out when you go looking for it. I now know that I have a great chance of dating the girl of my dreams. Brian Austin Green had this opportunity to date Fox( that girl),and is now on the list of Americas most flaunting.

All looks well on the surface but somehow Brian Finds away to complain about the relationship. Allegedly while having diner, he stated his feelings, towards the actress.I can not make this up so read what the sources have to say.


He began comparing Megan to the girl that he had been going out with before her who he'd broken up with for Fox, saying that Fox is behaving just like her. Apparently, the 21-year-old Transformer star is extremely set in her ways. The entire relationship was based on her terms, beginning with a "white board," upon which the pair would document the amount of time allotted to their relationship, family, and work. Green strove to maintain a fifty percent balance between time spent each other, and time spent apart. Fox, however, would sneak behind his back and erase planned dates with Green in order to have more time away from him. In fact, she would regularly cancel plans at the last moment, often by text. Throughout their turbulent relationship, Fox would threaten to get her lawyer involved in their disputes, while Green expressed his shock to his friend as he has never had a personal attorney in his "entire" life. He complained animatedly about how "unfair" their relationship was.

Still puffing away

Kate Heigl was smoking a cigarette last night on the patio of Katsuya last night.

I think the promise to quit is out of the question. Then again her star is rising and she is having a problems coping with the stress of which scripts to choose. Who knows?

What I do know is; it's cold here on the west and LA is not warm at night and unusually cold, and her friend gives way to that.

Not sexy Kate, although you make it look good.

On this seasons Lost: Britney Spears will find her way home!

Photobucket

Britney went on a drive in her new black Mercedes, and found her way around nothing. It seems that the star was lost and did not know where to go to get back on the trail to get home.

Britney stopped to ask the Paparazzi for direction,after an hour or so, driving around.


I am starting to believe she pays the paps ex-amount of dollars to know her every move. Soon you may see pictures of her in her home, sitting down on her private toilet, in a room no one knows about.

Just speculating

But take a look at her face, this tell a story far beyond anything I can say.

Grammy's in talks to get writers?

Photobucket

Strikers recently agreed on Monday, to an interim arrangement with the producers of February's Grammy award show, that would allow the program to be written by members of the writers guild.

The announcement from the Union wants the public to rest assured that the award ceremony will not be disrupted, or halt any of the initial plans for production.

Just last week, the union made a good call not to picket the show in Los Angeles, which did a great job in ending the music industry's concerns and fears of the amount of damage that could have been caused to the show, in an already bruised music industry. The show needs for celebrities to be at the show, and picket lines would prevent the possibility, and ruin a large part of the show; which is to see all of your favorite stars in the same place and supporting one another. The attendants would have been reluctant to cross picket lines, in support of the writers, picketing the show.

Patrick M. Verrone, president of the WGA west, made aware his respect for the music union, and made a statement to the cause on Monday.


The writers’ decision not to picket followed a move by two music unions to rally to the defense of the Grammy program. Patric M. Verrone, president of the Writers Guild of America West, acknowledged the music unions in a statement Monday “Professional musicians face many of the same issues that we do concerning fair compensation for the use of their work in new media.”

Rehab is filling up and welcomes Sean young

Photobucket
Another actress has admitted herself into rehab. This week we have the DGA heckler of the year.

The 48-year-old actress was escorted from the Century City,Hyatt Regency Ball room on Saturday night after sparring with Julian Schnabel, who was nominated for "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

A Statement given by Insignia PR on Tuesday:

"Actress Sean Young voluntarily admitted herself yesterday to a rehabilitation center for treatment related to alcoholism. It is understood that Young has struggled against the disease for many years."


Apparently Young, taunted Schnabel to get on with his acceptance speech and the two exchanged some words. Schnabel suggested that she finish the speech,and have another cocktail and proceeded to walk off the stage,wrap up music began, but the audience persisted that her finish and so he did. However Sean Young was being escorted, Kicked out, removed from the premises for her behavior.

Just in case you were wondering who Sean Young may be. Bladerunner, stripes, CSI , Wall st,and Boston public are some of the movies you can see her in, look here for her list of work, which is extensive but lo-key.

The Rambo tally

Photobucket

It seems as the world becomes painstakingly jaded, more so than it has been the past. The entertainment industry show less concern with the mental welfare of our children. The movies have become a social indicator as to which direction our society is taking and how far we are willing to go to entertain.

With war being the centerpiece of human existence you have movies such as Rambo, Shows such as TV's Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles and talk shows with no concern for the kids that are home on break.

Movies that are unadulterated and relentless in the pursuit of blood and guts are the norm. It is no longer about dialog that matters, it is, merely focused on the amount of money that can be earned in a single weekend.

Make no mistake about it, I enjoy these movies, but I want to point out that this is the path in which is being taken, by the head minds in the studios. That is why every B-movies that sucks is usually a knock off action movie, attempting to give you a percentage of the Rambo Tally, just to cash in. It is not about the creative nature of the literature that creates the virtual universe we call motion picture.

Art does not imitate life as it once did, it is now the other way around. Innovators are few, creativity is lacking, and the dollar controls the art. So the latter may be the overall cause behind the lack of originality. Although we had a great year, this year, and far better than its been in a long while. However the material, is not as original as it once was. outside of the great work, Michael bay done on Transformers,Alongside Steven Spielberg, which was a visually stunning and technical marvel,along with philosophy that can rival that of Star wars.

No what we are getting is more gun shots and less reason, Glamor shots with no rhyme nor reason. Dialog watered down to either be Politically correct and by the time it is revealed to the masses it does what it set out not to do.

I will call this the Rambo Tally, because many are wounded and it is all for show, if no one stops to assist those in bringing true art to the screen. Hollywood needs to take true risk again, and reinvent and knock out the BS.

Lupe Fiasco see Jay-Z as a; respectable business man that goes after what he wants, one that has great entrepreneurial skill.

Sources say that Lupe Fiasco the 25 year old Grammy nominated Rapper, praises Jay Z for his business talents and not his lyrical prowess alone.

"We (rappers) want to be Jay-Z, because we can be Jay-Z, and have some of the same lyrics as Jay-Z and even be compared to Jay-Z, but what he trumps everybody with is his business sense. "Every couple of weeks there's a new announcement of Jay-Z buying something."

Quotes to live by::::Britney meant well

“He’s still here. Oh, yes. No one ever really dies. No one.”

When asked by the paparazzi how she felt about Heath Ledger’s death, Britney had this to say:
“He’s still here. Oh, yes. No one ever really dies. No one.”

It would have been better, if it she said something such as He will always be with us. However an overcompensating attempt to make sense, backfired, Kinda like Hillary Clinton and Bill Campaigning the country.

Paris Hilton::: Stealing best friend from Kim Kardashian?

Photobucket

Normally I try to stay away from this woman, because she would have me sitting at my computer 24 hours a day, and that is just too much for any human. With this picture this task had to be taken on and the story behind it grabbed my attention. Also this would not be Enterpolics if I discriminated against any one individual.

SO:

Paris Hilton the hotel that everyone gets to stay in, for the right price, whether its an economy room, business class or a royal bungalow off the coast. our queen of pap shots, is out on the town, doing what she does best, making something from nothing.

You can see Paris Hilton sliding through the streets after partying at a Lesbian Night club, which the sources say she left, with this individual,leaving the Hollywood night spot. You can see, that she tried to go in undercover, with this brown wig that makes her look like Crystal waters, in the early 90's, La La Di, La La da, this one is not a hit, but deserves one hit, I wonder.

Some say they do not know who this is, and other say this is Brittny Gastineua, who is close friends with Kim Kardashian. From what I hear, the two of them are not talking, Meaning Paris and Kim, however here is Kim's friend hanging, maybe sleeping with the enemy.

Friend?

What's the deal with this one, and why would Brittny go from Bad to Worse?

Halle Berry will Drop off the Stork's treat to us soon.

Kelly Rowland does a little more than perform in London

Photobucket

It would seem that with a career that has been less than stellar outside of Destiny Child; Kelly Rowland would work a tad bit harder on creating a new sound and look. She can start by accepting that the only things in Beyonce's shadow that can make it do what it do,is the actual shadow.

Here are some snap shots of a London performance of the outfit that seems similar to something you would catch the first lady of the Carter Foundation wearing. However it may be, she looks great and those legs are coming along perfect. I see that she is getting the Beyonce diet down to a science.

On another note:

With vocal coaching and some added dance steps to liven up the show, she should be able to redeem her solo efforts. Do a few more collaborations, that are charged with energy and persistence, and create a sound for herself, and stop with the generics. Show the world who Kelly Rowland is and give us a chance to see the true artist.

It worked for Ray Charles. Make it do what it do baby.

Son of Marlon Brando of the Godfather Movies fame has passed on due to trouble with pneumonia. The actor died at the Los Angeles presbyterian hospital.

Christian Brando, 49, played very small roles in a hand-full of movies, but did not strike the fame that his father has. He is known to be more infamous, due to his run in with the law and a five year stay in prison for manslaughter.

If you would like to know more about this, you can learn about it here.


Although he was known by few his life was of value to those who cared for him, carry on his name and the legacy of his surname in good will.

Obama Landslide's through South Carolina!

The Numbers are in and the word is out. Presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama has won the primary race in South Carolina last night by a landslide victory. Senator Obama, grossed 53%, Hillary, 27%, Edwards 19%.

Very impressive for Obama especially in light of the mudslinging that has taken place in the recent debates. For the Senator this is regained, much needed momentum, to keep tapping at the heals of all the candidates. Keeping the forum for change open and relevant.

Obama gave the state and country a thorough Victory speech:

"The choice in this election is not about regions or religions or genders. It's not about rich vs. poor, young vs. old and it's not about Black vs. White. It's about the past vs. the future."

IT IS ABOUT THE PAST VS. THE FUTURE
