American Idle :::: Spike Lee pushing the envelope and calls for proper funding


I was over at the Riskybusiness blog and Leslie Simmons posted an interesting find on Director Spike Lee. Stating that this past Wednesday he pushed the Envelope and might I add, yet again.

He was being honored with the Chrysler sixth annual behind the lens award at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel and ballroom, receiving tributes, from actors that he has worked with, from films, such as School Daze (Laurence Fishburne), Do the right Thing( Rosie Perez), Bamboozled (Savion Glover), all which thanked Lee for pushing their careers into the direction that garnered them the success they have. Then Spike lee took the stage, allowed us his thank you speech and from there it was quickly turned into a moment to speak ones true mind.

He shared his feeling about not getting the funding he needs to put together successful projects, stating " I took my ass on a plane to Europe and got the financing for this film," he said pertaining to his latest world war II Drama" Miracle of St. Anna." " So, As Malcolm (X) said, the struggle is far from over."

He went on for a time longer and then he introduced his Italian producing partners in the film, Luigi Musini and Marco Valerio Pugini, in which they happened to be seated in the far back corner.

" Don't get the wrong idea with them being in the corner," he joked " When I was disgusted about not getting the financing for James Brown or the L.A. riots, I went to Italy." Which Are two projects that had budgets lower than the $60 million, which is below the price tag on films these days.


Spike Lee, did what is interpreted as a horrible impression of the Italian Money Men, highlighting the moment in which they agreed to finance the project. Lee also went on to say " It's amiracle this film got made."

Now keep in mind Spike is not a fool and has been speaking on the following subject in one way or another over the past twenty some odd years now. He wants to see justice in the film industry and clowning on film does not equate to what he is asking for. Spike Lee is looking for solid drama, action, love stories, suspense, fiction, and the list goes on, that include African American film ideas, in which he thinks has gone unnoticed for far too long. You may get one or two films a year showcasing a positive African American Family and they are not even in the wide release realm of other films. They are likened to the low budget, independent crowd, and in most cases because a lack of budget backing most of the original ideas, and concepts behind the films are lost. Financing is key to creating films that match the times, and which will allow production teams to set up the proper parameters for filming and editing and being able to pay quality actors, etc.


Spike Lee Continued on what he called his "little tirade," talking directly to the African-American industry players, within the audience, focusing in on the material aspects of what they may think success to be. It does not matter what car you drive or house you live in, " we're way behind in film," adding " none of them look like you. The only black guy I see is the brother man at the security gate." Allowing us the opportunity to see that their are not enough power roles for African Americans in the movies coming out of Hollywood.

He went on to Joke some more that the studios are "Sneaking Black Faces" into the board room to make it appear that they are integrated, but what they're really doing is plucking blue-collar workers and dressing them up for the meeting. " Then you leave and they kick their asses back to the mail room," He quipped.

Those comment may be lack of accurate calculations to the amount of lead roles allowed to African American Males, however it is true that the roles are limited and African Americans are not getting the face time to be the artist they are. Yes you have Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, and Cuba Gooding Jr., to name a few. However the fact, of the matter is, it is only a few compared to the many of European males, that grace the Big screen as well as the small screen I might add.

As far as the boardroom goes, you have a set up filled with minds that do not see entertainment from a global perspective, in which they will tell you they do, but it means, globally-white perspective. The time and research does not go into the African American communities, it goes into the European American Communities, and what ever they wish to see it is shown with out quips or qualms.

You may meet with a film producer one day and you may get rejected however you do not stop there you find alternative ways to fund your film as Spike has done. Many films have been made this way whether African American or otherwise.

I understand where spike lee is coming from and the race issue has festered for far too long within the walls of Hollywood and the country over. The time has come in which there needs to be a balance in films representing America and American Life and the live's in it as a whole. From Television, the Silver screen, all the way to Broadway, and might I add musical diversity, not all African Americans Rap or sing R&B, Rock N Roll is just as much African American as it is American.


In the end all Spike Lee and all the other silent African American Directors, Actors ( male and Female), are asking for a level playing field in which they can produced the quality films they have perceived in their initial visions. I want to to take it a step further and make it clear that, although I love to watch Tyler Perry films, his approach is too subliminal and goes unnotitice the majority of the time, mainly if you are not of the Christian faith you have no clue as the deep rooted message in his film. Those in secular society only see a Big Black Dude in a dress, slapping a boy on a bus, or brandishing a weapon every time someone pisses of the character. I get it, but to the naked eyes and ear of the new un educated generation of American no progress has been made.

Comedy will receive funding but it is almost always slapstick, with no real substance to liken your self to. Yes we have Jim Carey who does the same, however that may be Jim Carey stands out, Steve Martin Stands out, and other who have taken their path to comedy fame. Comedy is clowning, but we all know that there is a science behind it that does not get seen past the stand up stage.

America needs to think, and think hard about its direction(s), in which it is headed. Art imitates life and it is the other way around at this point, so with garbage films representing the African American art world, you can imagine what is being imitated.



Comments? Let me know what you think of this.

Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter Calls for Change in Miami -



Shawn" Jay-Z" Carter, hits the stage performs his hits, back to back, and then he prompts the crowd to take a brief look at the political landscape.

As pictured here he is performing and in the middle of his performance he promotes Barack Obama and his campaign for change. Encouraging his fans to go out and vote for change in this country. According to reports :

"After a few unexpected cameos by rappers Young Jeezy, Kanye West and Timbaland, a life-size photo of President George W. Bush appeared on the screen as Jay-Z asked the crowd: ”Are you ready for change?” The Bush photo was then replaced with that of Obama. Thunderous applause followed."



I was ducking under fire while in Bosinia



For the past three days it has been on every radio station, on every news channel, filling up lines in every blog, and twitter shouts. The now notorious statement of Senator Clinton and her ability to exaggerate and blatantly lie to the masses assuming she will get away with her words. It is reminiscent of "Mark my words I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Although he was covering his ass and she was making things up as she go along, it seems that the Clinton's can not be trusted. Much like the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Hillary Clinton stated while on a trip to Bosnia, she " Was let off the airplane under sniper fire" and the "greeting ceremony at the airport was canceled." Now although this is 3 day old news it is a reminder that politicians whether female or male, left or right, democratic or republican is not void of a lying tongue or one that miss speaks. I miss spoken, I am tired, what a crock of $hit!

The tape clearly shows Hillary Clinton arriving, smiling, greeting people, all the while taking the time to sign an autograph for a young fan. This initially became an issue after Hillary used the trip as an example of her " Experience" dealing with foreign policy.

The only experience she really has is being a first lady and yes she has influenced much of what has taken place during her husbands presidency. Yes she is a senator of a state that can not influence its governor enough to stop his dark room behaviors. However it is becoming all too clear that she is no different than; Bill " BJ" Clinton and will lie to the public assuming that the people she want to lead are idiots.

Think twice America Think Twice!

King Lebron James for Vitamin Water


Here is a still for his up coming commercial for Vitamin water which will air during the 2008 playoff games.

I would like to know what is being thought of this image in comparison to his controversial vogue cover.


What do you think of this? Any comments????

Music video ::: Three Days Grace - "Never too Late"



With Eliot Spitzer hitting rock bottom along with the rest of America. Hollywood stars and musicians dropping left and right I just think this song is appropriate for those of us who need to push on. Through all the BS and and the mud thrown around remember you have tomorrow to make a better life, to begin a new life, to share the love you need to with those around you. To go out into the world and conquer your fears.

It is never too late to get back to what you dreamed possible. You have to begin somewhere at the end of it all it is up to you.

New Movie ::: Get drunk and film the scene


I cant remember! Is an answer you may get from Kate Bosworth about a scene from her up coming movie 21.

The 25 year old actress cannot recall the love scene she shot with Jim Sturgess for 21. She told people at Wednesday's Cinema Society and Calvin Klein Jeans - Sponsored screening of her film in Manhattan.

This sounds more like we wanted to do it, and not why get out pseudo sex scene filmed now, and get payed for it now, then put out a sex tape that will be inevitable...right? Just speculating! I cant put it past this new generation of Hollywood stars.

Kate went on to say; "we were both so drunk," the Superman Returns star said. "Jim and I became such good friends, we decided to have a couple of drinks, loosen up and go for it."

Surgess who plays the lead in the shot on location casino flick, based on Ben Mezrich's book, Bringing down the house : The inside story of Six MIT students who took Vegas for Millions - has a lack of recollection as well.


Also she went on to say a little more; "we were on Grey Goose, I think," said the British actor. "It was brilliant for about half and an hour. As we continued to drink ... it just became sloppy and messy. I couldn't stand up at one point."


I guess the new law of filming an intense love scene is to get drunk
beyond reasoning and go for it. What should matter, a little licking
and dry humping and your film has a hot and steamy scene that will keep
young high school outcast watching for years to come. All awaiting the
boob shot, and or nipple highlighted scene. It is pay day and the banks
are buzzing, I would just stay away from Bear Sterns, ooopps they
crumbled already.

Side note**

Matter of fact it is better to take you money and put a partial amount under your mattress, or your mattress you do not want to walk up to you bank and they tell you they cant give you your money because they don't have any. They are lending out way too much money, and people are not paying back.



Rumor has it $8 - $10 Million could be made from the twins


That is right, it is a buzz floating off the backs of the bees in Hollywood that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, may be paid a whopping sum of $8-$10 Million dollars for shots of their the twins. However the buzz includes that it has to be twins, but I am sure her and brad will collect something a little more than praise no matter the sex or amount of baby's she produce. This is the Branjolina tribe we are talking about, and another addition, is money in the bank these days.

Thats if she will be in the states when this takes place, she may get paid in some type of foreign currency.

All jokes aside, she is the one to pull in a pay day for sitting on or next to a hamster.





Maya Angelou a celebration of raw education and a priceless life


Maya Angelou is soon to celebrate her much talked about 80th birthday. The celebrated, self taught academic, is honored the world over and has an extensive list of accomplishments from a world then and now. She has weathered storms and has written pieces of history through her eyes within the pages of her memoirs.

Here is a post in USA today that will bring your closer to a genuine literary genius who paved her own way.

Busted Again ::: Spitzer a regular in a Tranny run Brothel?


This is getting way out of hand or has it been and we are just getting the aftermath of a life running head on into the nearest wall?

It seems that Ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer has visited other sex for sale organizations, and this one looks as if it is run by A transsexual...man o man thats a man, with the new bubbles and a tan.

According to a new report, Spitz the pimped-John, has hit up the brothel Wicked Models, which is headed by a busty blonde, Kristin " Billie" Davis, Pictured.

Say it ain't So spitz! This is not looking good for you, a female prostitute was bad enough, but if you stepped out into the deep end, no pun intended, you are not going to recover.

From an investigation, Wicked Models, was taken down on Tuesday after a year long investigation. Allegedly there are financial documents linking E. Spitzer, to some of the operations.



Prosecutors say Davis pulled in a net of $2 Million last year through the solicitation of his call girls, for as much as $1,000 and hour through 4 web sites.

An anonymous source is saying that Davis personally services Eliot Spitzer. Is this true? If so, I really have a problem feeling bad for this guy. When asked about the details of the allegations, Davis responded, " I can't, talk about it."



Spitzr's Spokeswoman, Anna Cordasco, countered that " Mr. Spitzer was not ever a client of Ms. Davis."

Yeah OK! This reminds me of Bill Clinton and Monica, but at least she was an intern and was paid in promotions and perks, the new way of handling your needs or old, depending on how you look at it. It is all just wrong. However this goes to show you, that all homes built on sand will crumble, build on solid rock people. Take the lesson and run with it.

Follow the origin of this mess here.


** This really looks like a man! Dag Spitz you are hitting low, real low if this is true your whole game is over for at least 3 years until someone mess up big time in New York.


Caption This Photo for me please

Is the new Vogue Cover more Questions and Answers?


It seems that many are on the ropes attempting to figure out the implications behind the new Vogue cover with LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen. He is apparently striking a pose, that is primal and she is standing there like a happy damsel in distress. So what is the big fuss? Many are debating the nature of the image and what it is sending out to the consumer.

As reported on AZ Central, by way of the associated press, stating, the "image is stirring up controversy, with some commentators decrying the photo as perpetuating racial stereotypes. James strikes what some see as a gorilla-like pose, baring his teeth, with one hand dribbling a ball and the other around Bundchen's tiny waist."

Some are likening it to "King Kong," that is a far stretch, but does it resemble that? However my question stands as this, is the probing implications, implying that Africans and African Americans still appear to be ape like sub humans roaming the earth? One lady stated, "It conjures up this idea of a dangerous black man," said Tamara Walker, 29, of Philadelphia.

However Megan K. Scott of the AP went on to write more on the topic.

"Photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the 6-foot-9 NBA star and the 5-foot-11 Brazilian model for the cover and an inside spread. Vogue spokesman Patrick O'Connell said the magazine "sought to celebrate two superstars at the top of their game" for the magazine's annual issue devoted to size and shape."

"We think Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen look beautiful together and we are honored to have them on the cover," Patrick stated.

So they went even further to dig into what the subjects of the shoot had to say and
James told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer he was pleased with the cover, saying he was "just showing a little emotion." Also going on to say, "Everything my name is on is going to be criticized in a good way or bad way," James told the paper. "Who cares what anyone says?"


However an analyst has a different take on this. Magazine analyst Samir Husni believes the photo was deliberately provocative, adding that it "screams King Kong." Considering Vogue's influential history, he said, covers are not something that the magazine does in a rush.
"So when you have a cover that reminds people of King Kong and brings those stereotypes to the front, black man wanting white a woman, it's not innocent," he said.

Of course at this point, O'Connell, the Vogue spokesman decline any further comments. Which makes you think about what they originally sought to portray when doing this photo. In most cases all parties involved in doing this, are not innocent of what has taken place. The idea behind the concepts appear to be 100% banking on the idea that it would raise eyebrows. However some parts of the party may have had an agenda that was far beyond something that the subjects would have agreed to. Photographers are artist and they know that art is open to interpretations that at times do not speak the same language that was spoken in the art. It make you think if Picasso was here to tell us what he felt or Leonardo was able to tell us to shut up about the Mona Lisa, and furthering his point with an explanation our ideas would be worthless.

Although this is not the end of the debate and I am sure that the water cooler, the student union, and your local coffee shop will be buzzing for some time over this. Here is some more from the story.

One has went on to say; what this looks like "images of black male athletes as aggressive and threatening" also that they "reinforce the criminalization of black men," said Damion Thomas, assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology at University of Maryland.

But others say the image show James' game face - nothing more. And they note that Bundchen hardly looks frightened. Which she does not at all! "James is a huge, black beautiful masculine statue and Gisele is a feminine, sexy gorgeous doll," said Christa Thomas, 36, a black account supervisor in Los Angeles.

"I didn't see any kind of racist overtone to it," she said. "I still don't. I think there is such a hypersensitivity to race still in this country." Husni said it is too soon to know how the magazine is selling, though the controversy could increase sales as people rush out to get a "collector's edition."

If nothing else, Walker said the cover underscores the need for a more diverse workplace.

"If more people of color worked for Vogue in positions of editorial authority, perhaps someone in the room might have been able to read the image the way so many of us are reading it now, and had the power to do something about it," she said.

At this point it is apparent what racism consist of, and is based largely on, misconceptions that turn into lies, which end up being some unproven law. There was a time when they said that African American athletes has no athletic ability, now they say that is all that they are good at. Soon it would be that they are the best doctors and lawyers but have not social skills. Sounds crazy, well with the way things are going it will always be one crazy thing or another, like the lie that white men could not jump. Don't Believe the hype and take the time out to allow each man his own merits. I would like to agree with Barack Obama on the fact that the race issue needs to be discussed in an open forum. Hiding behind lies, and fear is going to eat this county alive from within. We are all brothers and sisters and this land belongs to every man and women that can stand patriotic and to help the nation grow as a stronger country over its current status.

I want to know what you think of this. Please leave your comments, I want to dig into this further and your opinions allows me to shed more light into the dynamic of race in America and why questions always find themselves around the African American Elite and the average African American and people of color.










Clingy just clingy?


It appears that Usher's new wife may be ushers out the door soon if she does not get her act together. She need to realize he makes his money off of being Usher, and if someone hires him to do just that with added sex appeal, then let it be. Or is there something else going on in their personal life that we do not know about? It may come out sooner than later.

In the mean time, it seems that Usher wife has been described as "domineering." A vibe she has given off on his recent video shoot for his new track " Love in the club" over the weekend of March 15th. Tameka Foster ( Usher's wife), became livid, after finding out singer/songwriter, Keri Hilson was personally picked by Usher to play his love interest, celebrity spy witness told to the New York post, page six column.

“It was supposed to be a sexy video shoot. And Tameka was there
the entire time guarding like a watchdog. It was ridiculous - she knows
Keri and knows she’s no video ho or Karrine Steffans.”

“Tameka is very insecure,” the Post’s mole continued. “Even
in rehearsals she was weird and clearly not happy that Keri is so
gorgeous. Tameka threw a lot of attitude. The day of the shoot, Tameka
dressed Keri very badly - she looked like an extra. Tameka wouldn’t let
Keri have her hairdresser there - she had to use the hairdresser who
was doing the extras.”


I have my doubts about this all together, but this is not the only issue that has surface about his wife and her controlling ways. It is reported that, "Foster also took a dislike to Usher's longtime choreographer, Jamaica, and banned her from the set." When Usher and Foster were spotted at the Beverly Hills Hotel last week, "They barely said one word to each other," we're told, stated the post insider.

The also went on to report and remind us that Usher has fired his mom, and pubisist, at the will of his Wife. "Tameka was the one and only one to call the shots," spies said. Wow this is getting interesting, either his new album will be called"Rregrets," or "what the fu*k did I do?"

Then again this can be a bunch of hog wash, this time will tell, his manager had this to say via e-mail: "Keri could not have been happier with Tameka's choices in the styling, hair and makeup . . . Jamaica was flown out and arrived a day late to do Keri's choreography, and was on-set at all times. The shoot itself went brilliantly."



We will see. But from looking at Keri Hilson, I would see why either the rumors would begin or his wife flipping out. Heck my lady would have a fit if I was left alone or shooting a video with this woman too, she may sniff every inch of me before I proceed to shower.








Music Video ::: Tyra Show " Danity Kane" - Damaged



I have no words for this. It sucks, I guess I lied, I have plenty. What is this garbage, these girls have no talent and is a waste of time. I just want to see them do magazine spreads, they can not sing at all. This is not art it is just music, if that.

American Idle ::: Take home DNA Paternity Test.


You got to be kidding me. We definitely live in a capitalistic society with no moral convictions. We may pretend that we have them, but at the end of the day, if we can make a dollar or two we will produce and we will sell it along with our souls.

We now have a DNA test that will put Maury Povich out of business. It is for the sluts in us! If my girlfriend walks up to me when/if I get her pregnant and ask me to swab my mouth, I am throwing the test on the floor and walking away. I would not sit around for the humiliation, heck I would prefer to take my low emotions to Maury and get a free trip, hotel room, and get to meet other losers, I do not want to do that alone.

This is definitely promoting promiscuous behavior, now they are going to hand out a box of condoms, DNA Test and.or pen to write Maury for follow up purposes. This is beyond entertainment this is a broken reality. Nothing is new under the sun, but it is sure getting out of hand, with population growth you get mutiplied amounts of geniuses and idiots, and since idiots seem to have always outweighed the genius kind, you can get the gist of where humanity is heading.

From what I have learned so far, the DNA Test is avaiable at Rite Aid stores around the country, which went on sale Tuesday at 4,363 location out side of NY. I guess the current Governor or Ex-Governor Spitzer do not want to wake up to swab sticks and revenge driven wives. That is New your State for you! You can pick up the slut kit for $29.95, it contains a swab, a consent form, and an envelope. The swab is used to collect saliva from the baby, the mom, and possible dad of the child. Then you mail the swab to a lab for an additional cost of about $119.00. If should take about 54 business days to get results by mail, email, or by checking the website.

To the capitalist who put this out, I do not agree, but I must let the world know your reason behind putting this out. D listed reported, "the kit has already been a hit in California, Washington and Oregon where it went on sale in November." You must be kidding me?! A hit?

"This is for people who are just curious. It is peace of mind for people who want to know but do not want to involve a physician or an attorney. They might want to know the paternity of their child or their own paternity so they can rely on
family medical history
."

Yeah OK!? You know the world is screwed and screwing and why not see how much you can bank off pockets while you are here to witness it. This is a silent promotion of BS, bull F^*kery, and you know this. If I wake up to my girl swabbing my mouth, I think I have all the answers I need to make my decision, I will take care of my child, but I am out the door faster than a speeding locomotive, emphasis on "LOCO."




Artist to Reconsider :::: Lupe Fiasco


You have style daring and something different from the norm blending sounds of the world, offering up a delightful buffet that is healthy to the soul. Lupe Fiasco is an artist that is rated high and overlooked just that same. With the lack of gimmick rap videos, he offers up a style that has gone below the radar, much like jay z with Reasonable Doubt, Mos-Def with A new Danger, and the list goes one.

This does not have to remain that way, this is an opportunity to digest real music. Just last week I entertained several guest to this album and I got nothing but raving comments about the album. Here I want you to take a look at an artist that is pumped out of Chicago, a place that is giving us some of our current artist with spirit, such as Kanye West, and Veteran Common.

Here is Lupe on Jay Leno:



Ellen Performance:

Laila Ali getting ready to bring in a new champion


Laila Ali, daughter of a champion, a man who broke down barriers and wooed the world over. He goes by the name Muhammad Ali, known to many before the name change as Cassius Clay. However this is not about the father to whom we have grown to measure our current gladiators by, no, not at all. This is about a daughter who had an ability to get out there and lay out a legacy of her own. She took all punches and returned them just the same.

Laila Ali, one of the greatest if not the top of the pack, of female boxers who can get in the ring with the best of them on technique alone male or female. She has retired at the top of her form, breaking all social barriers placed on female athletes. Now she is taken on a challenge that will last for the rest of her life and that is Motherhood. The retired boxer is expecting her first child with husband former NFL player Curtis Conway. The former boxer is speaking candid and exclusively with womens magazine, Essence, for their up & coming may issue, she states a few things and leaves a clue that she may not be all the much in a rush to know the sex of the baby.

“I don’t know yet if we are having a boy or a girl, but I’m excited that I have a life inside me that my husband and I created,” Ali stated.

Ali at the age of 30 alongside husband Conway 36, this is the perfect time to settle in a create new things. With her currently hosting the American Gladiator which is a prime time hit alongside, Terry"Hulk" Hogan, she knows what the road to success looks like and it comes from raw perseverance that she is no stranger of. “Curtis is very calm and has a quiet confidence, and he wanted what I wanted—to be married and have a family,” says the former boxer, who retired undefeated as the women’s super middleweight champion.

She is giving off a calm top of the mountain aura ,to those who are coming in contact with her and what she has stated may be a further clue, Also, “I am 100 percent undeniably happy,” Ali says. “I've never been able to say that before.”


So I guess we can sit back and watch her life unfold into a positive direction and share in this experience with a woman that has broken down many barriers, and proved capable of a task once set aside for the male. She has done it all and has her sites set on doing even more. Lets wish her the best of luck!

Will the child be a Male or Female? Will the new generation take to boxing? These are some questions that will come up over time. I would be lying if I said I was not curious.

Congratulation Laila and Curtis!

Comeback for Britney?

Yes you have read it correct. The critics love her, appearance on 'How I met your Mother,' the rating speak for themselves 10.6 million viewers and I am a happy camper. I dont know why she did not do television a long time ago, or at least made an attempt at another movie.

It is simple, people love to look at her, she is an attraction who happens to be attractive. My suggestions would be take more acting classes, continue to teach children cool dance steps, and take a break from music as soon as you are allowed to. This will allow her some time to get her head wrapped around good things she is capable of and reset her career goals. She will be Britney Spears for life and the world will love her for it. By the way she can act way better that KFed, that is one tree on a hill, I mean 'One tree hill'.

I hope that this spells out comeback for her. I actually was never a fan of her music, I am a dude, but I was always a fan of her as a person. I think she can pull it all together now.


Here are some clips:








More relative than not!


I was roaming the Internet and I came across something quite interesting photo so I decided to read into it a little further and come to find out there was more to Dlisted Posting. Which I thought was a gag of some sort, and come to find out it is fact. By way of Yahoo/AP, we have a what I am sure to be a brief rundown of some interesting news.

Read on:

The New England Genealogical Society is working hard and coming up with some interesting finds. Remarkable connection for the three presidential candidates has been uncovered. Democratic rivals Clinton and Obama, along with McCain who is a republican are related to some interesting people in our American and world history.

You have Obama related to Brad Pitt, Clinton related to Angelina Jolie, and the list continues on. Obama often jokes about one of his relatives, and unfortunately for Barack he is cousins to Dick Cheney and he finds it kind of funny. Apparently " his Kinships are across the political spectrum," Child said. For crying out loud, he is related to Civil war General Robert E. Lee, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, Gerald Ford, Harry S. Truman, James Madison, And Lyndon B. Johnson.

The list seems as if it will continue on and I am sure if they have famous cousins, then many of us are related to one if not two of them.

As the Associated press reported, Clinton is related to three top billing singers which include Modanna, Alanis Morissette, and Celine Dion. Obama who is a son of a white woman and a Black man from Kenya, can call six U.S. Presidents, including George W. "fumbles" Bush and father bush. John McCain is a sixth cousin of first lady Laura Bush.

It sounds like we are living in one big ancestor, incest pool of love making and all out
f*c*ery. I am going to go and hit up Steve Jobs, Angelina Jolie( I would be mad if she were, it will cut my chances even lower- if you know what I mean), Oprah, heck I am knocking on all doors and collecting DNA.

I would like to add on the serious side of this. This is a sure sign that humanity should really take the time out to sit down and get to know one another. You may never know your entire family if you continue to snub strangers and different cultures. From what we have seen in all genealogical test, man and woman in all races and cultures, have crossed at one point or another. Our enemy is a long lost cousin or one that may need to be found.
"It shows that lots of different people can be related, people you wouldn't necessarily expect," Child said.

America and the world can live longer
if we think twice about what we do in life.

My deepest to Corinne Bailey Rae


Just recently we lost a saxophone player, that was married to Corinne Bailey Rae, a major import to the music scene bringing fresh sounds, that cause you to think and mellow out a long day, listening to each chord struck on her guitar. Jason Rae; there is not much that I can say of you, but may all the best be with you.

This is another tragedy on the grand scale. May we all send out best wishes to the artist. Please support he so that the world can continue to receive such great music for a long time to come.


It has been reported


The body of Jason Rae was discovered in a Leeds flat on Saturday.The 32-year-old musician was a saxophonist with the Haggis Horns.Officers investigating his death have arrested a 32-year-old man on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs.


Side note:

Dear Corinne; I do not know you or the life that you lead, but I would like to thank you for working hard at becoming a part of my life. I appreciate your art and although that may not matter at this time. I hope that I can be able uplift your world, as you have been able to do for my own. You are a tremendous inspiration for artist and writers, and people living their every day lives. I can speak for those who live life; you are a gem, and your life, is given to us, through higher means. That can never be re-designed, or re made, you are the genuine article. "Just like a star" you are, and you shine on all, who has ever had the chance to listen to your melody, to the way you clash worlds, and prove that sounds are universal. In doing so you have proved that life is universal, as much so as every number that will ever be counted. Stay strong, the world loves you! Best regards, Kem Moseley and Enterpolics.

Movie not to consider :::: Angel Lola luv's - 'Crazy like a fox'


I can not recommend this movie no matter how hard I tried. I must warn you this has to be either the least most interesting trailer I have ever seen, and/or the largest waste of money taken to produce a film. I know the Angel " Lola Luv" Melaku, is a pretty, Exotic offering from Ethiopia, and I know she has a body that is out of this world with no comparison. However does that warrant a movie role? This has to be the twilight zone! I am at the point where I will never ever go to the movies again. Then again this movie hits at all the things that happen behind the scenes, that would get something like this green lighted. I don't care that it is independent, it seem that it is independent of creativity, vision, and acting.

I am sure they did not spend much money on the production, filming, etc. However I am hoping that the plot turns out ok. From this trailer I do not have much faith it in at all. Angel is great to look at and I will go to see it for that, but that is about it.


I think she is aiming for the title of; the Ethiopian Marilyn Monroe, Pin up girl extreme, Just stay away from the politicians in office. I think we had enough with Eliot Spitzer and do not even think about the current swinging first lady and governor of NY. They will eat you alive.




Here is the Trailer:



What do you think of it?

Whatever it is that you think of this film or this actress, you will see more of her. She is filming the Wendy Williams biopic " Queen of media." The actress is the highlight of internet rumors and questions about her actual physical makeup. Most do not believe that her back side is authentic, much stipulation revolves around her in the Hip Hop world, and it soon to leak into mainstream thought slowly but surely.


Photos from Vibe magazine photo shoot:

Here is a clip from her vibe magazine interview:


I’m a reckless driver. I’ve had three traffic warrants in three different states since I’ve been driving [laughs]. The fastest I’ve driven is 130 mph, and I think it was a Dodge Charger. I love speeding and cars. I get a serious rush. It’s ridiculous.


I guess she appreciates the fast lane, and if you can keep up, then give it a shot. More on this Video vixen of the year 2007.

Pregnacy Unnoticed :: Bears two wonderful twin boys.





Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon is a mom to two wonderful twins Jax Joseph and Jaid Thomas Nilon, born last October. Is it me or did her preganancy go unnoticed? I remember hearing about it a little after she posed for playboy last august but then it went quiet. I guess the Haiti born actress; will have to do a little more than NYPD blue, to get noticed. Perhaps the Playboy spread will re-hatch interest in the actress.

When asked about posing for the gent mag; Garcelle stated, "I wasn't doing this for anyone other than to prove I could do it." Well it is a good move at the age of 44, to show the world that everything is still in place and looking great. However I want to see her act, she is a great actress that goes unnoticed.

Now that she has two mouths to feed it may be a while before we see her. I just hope she does not pull a Lisa Bonet, and disappear into the hills of no mans land.



Pictured here with Husband Michael Nilon.


Anyway this is about the twins, and they are two cute little gentleman in training. Mom stated, "The boys are just gorgeous." What more needs to be said? I wish her well and I would like to congratulate her husband Mike Nilon. Whom has been married to her for the past 7 years, helped in the conception, that will bring more joy. You can see them in the March 31st issue of JET Magazine.

Paris Hilton Rock out in South Africa


Paris in South Africa! What is it about that, that bugs me. Oh I know what it is, she went there to party it up a little and I was not invited. Dag this! Why was I not invited? I guess I am not cool enough, but mark my words, I will be in Johannesburg the next go round.


She has finally made it and she is partying it up as usual. She was greeted by a "throng" of fans as reported by People , but something is troubling me. What did she do to deserve her fans, and in another country, on another continent? Beats me! Anyway...fans swarmed the superstar of the tabloids, in a party that was put together within 24 hours of it taking place. That goes to tell you that show business has changed, all you need is a million mentions in the tabloids, a porno, and a couple crappy attempts at a pop album and old money top back up your pseudo celebrity to make it happen.

So this is a lesson in entertainment folks, get rich first. Then find something really wild to do, and begin to hang out with a celebrity that is washed up, but gets enough press exposure to grant you the who is that with so and so mention, and you will be on your way. Thanks Nicole Richie, now we are all dancing on the ceiling, along with your dad. Benjii I wish you the best, man and Paris you know I love you but please take some acting classes already. That last movie is giving me nightmares.

On the serious side she has brought joy to all the kids in South Africa, that were able to meet her. From what I am able to see in the photographs she has the love of many more people, than we can ever imagine. This is a good thing that she has done on a global scale, and I would like to see more of it over time. As American Idols favorite judge would say, good looking out(seriously why does he say it all the time).


Paris looks so disinterested in this picture below.
Any takers as to what it may be?
