Mitchel Report

FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Mitchell report implicates big nam...

This report comes as no surprise to me, and it should be the same for us all. However my question is to the MLB commission. What will you do next? At this rate, I see most of the players on the way out the door, most of the Hall of Fame inductees, will be striped of the honor and those who are eligible, such as Roger Clemens, are on the rejection list, when the numbers show they should be on the list of the accepted. For Clemens and many others to follow, getting into the hall of fame will require a breathealizer , hair and urine samples. Just to check to see if it is you, perhaps a retena scan.

Lets Bump Forward.

The Future of Major sports are at stake, so on a more personal note I would like to say, Train hard, Eat Right, take the proper Health and body building supplements, do it the natural way. Most of these guys are out of shape in the MLB and NFL, yeah they can run but they are border line Heart attacks waiting to happen. Do it  right and eat right.

See below for an excerpt of the story:




Roger Clemens, Miguel Tejada and Andy Pettitte were named in the long-awaited Mitchell Report on Thursday, an All-Star roster linked to steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs that put a question mark — if not an asterisk — next to some of baseball's biggest moments.
Barry Bonds, already under indictment on charges of lying to a federal grand jury about steroids, also showed up in baseball's most infamous lineup since the Black Sox scandal.

"The evidence we uncovered indicates that this has not been an isolated problem involving a few players or a few clubs," Mitchell said. "Many players were involved. Each of the 30 clubs has had players who have been involved with such substances at some time in their careers."

The report culminated a 20-month investigation by former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, hired by commissioner Bud Selig to examine the Steroids Era.



"

News: Clemens and long-time buddy and teammate Andy Pettitte were the first names to emerge Thursday from the Mitchell report.
Impact: ESPN.com reported Brian McNamee, a former trainer for the Yankees and Clemens, told investigators he supplied Clemens and Pettitte with steroids and that information is in the report. The Web site cited an unidentified source close to the trainer. "We will respond after the report," said Randy Hendricks, the agent for Clemens and Pettitte."

Angel Lola Luv




This has been a great year, one filled with many treats. We have seen stars rise and stars fall, Blow up or burnout. One the Hip Hop scene one seems to be making huge strides towards the winning goal. That finish line of Video Vixen, although you should not say that to her face.

With proportions that will make a sane many the opposite, and a crooked line straight. A face that can charm you pockets loose, and your 401K, plus any assets you have, if she asked in the right tone.

What I want to know though is it all what it seem to be?
















Curves and awesome face, that will make most women war hardy. However how is it possible for the proportions not to have thighs to match? I do not know exactly what to say but wow and what! I mean them both, I am a male and I am not ignoring the Jessica Rabbit like proportions.

Tell me what you think.


Persia White-XEO3





Persia white has officially entered vacinity of those who do not know, but will soon teach. Have an open ear and you may learn something. Oh did I mention, she is bringing her brand of Trip hop/Trance to the masses.







If you know of this lady she is the one of the four Girlfriends now Three on UPN now the CW network, which is in its sixth successful season on the network holding the highest ratings right alongside ANTM. I have gotten the opportunity to sit down and listen to some of the tracks and they are quite the mood setter. The songs themselves are still in Demo stage, however tight production is felt throughout. Take a listen you may dig the genre or not, but I am sure that you will dig this.

Broken Talent



Paris, it is obvious now more than ever. You are special, we love you too here at Enterpolics.


As we have reached the hight of Paparazzi Fever and the lucky celebrities who undoubtedly have the market cornered on everything Broadcast. With the two sides to the story and a fondness for beautiful dis bated actresses and pop starlets, breathtaking images of drunk actors, pop kings and princes, with a dash of politicians allegedly soliciting sexual acts ( throw and F on it if you wish), 2007 was a great year.

All though the year is not quite over, I would like to begin the inception of what is to be a Blogger-rific 2008, and the best way to bring in this new virtual rag, to recap what has spawned the idea of ENTERPOLICS. Politics of Entertainment and the commercially driven society that we live in. You gotta love it.

Lets begin with the things that grabbed my attention most and I am sure yours as well. Britteny spears has had quite the year. I would say she is the biggest celebrity to come of age in front of our eyes since Gary Coleman and the rest of the bunch from Different strokes.

I am not sure what grabbed my appreciation for the Paparazzi more, the buzz cut or the buzz Cut?














However as you know honorable mention to Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Ray J, Kiefer Sutherland, and a host of others that I do not have enough room for. Kiefer Sutherland and Michael Vick Keep your heads up. Take this time out to read everything you can, it is good to have other thoughts than your own. It keeps you out of your mind.


As for The rest of you, I do not think the 24 hour man or the dog whisperer would appreciate it if they did not get the mention. Vick as advice just stay in shape as much as possible, nothing can keep you done, you are one of the best and not to many can catch up to that, so keep you mind right. As for you Kiefer do the same it would be nice to have you come back in top shape for the new shows. A lean-mean 24hour problem solver. Git'er done.


I don't know what has gone wrong but as you can see all things entertainment is about to become more interesting or less interesting, depending on your taste and appreciation for moments in time, that can not be earned back. However we love those who put their names and lives out for us to witness. Keep it up, my Muse is those who choose, what they choose. Oh and no I did not forget you Mr Cruise, it just you are so way out there, its not the drink its not the stimulants, its the ability to sniff those jet fumes from your air force days, oh yeah, that is just a movie. We you are allegedly off your chair, I will sit back and see how things turn out. You are a great actor.

The great Debaters



Get ready for the great debaters. A highly charged look into the past. From the trailer you will see that this was a full fledge effort from Denzel Washington.

AMA 2007

Daughtry...Who? Daughtry who?
Show that you can do it if you believe in your own style. He has it, and his band has it.


And now for our host:



Jimmy Kimmel has style!
The host of the show, shows that he has a great sense of humor and impeccable timing and a willingness to go with the show, with out writers.


I would say that this show was one to not miss, if you have make sure that you catch its highlights when you can. There were some great performances that, will stick with you for some time. Alecia Keys bring back old school Jamaican songs, and the artist of credit. From Shocka Demus and plyers, Benieman, and Junior Reed. Her performance was a montage of her musical influences.

As you can see in the captured photo, Beyonce was not short of being apart of the show, and one of its top honorees, taking home the international award, coveted by many. Seen here with Jeniffer Nettles who covered the singers song this year and grabbed a CMA for.



Fergie my lady, grabs Pop/Rock favorite female artist award at the end of the show, she can be seen jamming the show earlier on tonight.
With Will I am and Nicole Sherzinger taking the stage and performing:



Avril Lavigne perform, wearing who knows what, and why?!?!?!?, But I must say that she has style, her own and lets get down and boogie. She must be hoping, that those who were let out of rehab for the night, are still under the influence. Maybe they will not notice, she forgot that pushing the envelope in this manner is only good for George Clinton and Bootsie Collins.


Adam Levine does not disappoint the fans and he keeps is so simple that it is complicated.


Akon Favorite R&B/Soul artist of the year winner, who is following suit with Kanye West and handing over the trophy to who he thinks is the hardest working person in show biz, T-Pain. Who relunctly reached out for it.


Rascal Flatts take it home for best country band, duo or group.



Rhianna and Ne'yo perform tonight. Keeping up the the old gangster swing swagger. Now if Rhianna will exercis her vocals as much as she has with her body. She is looking great and Ne'yo tops it off as always.


Carrie Underwood take them home, with two nominations and a text vote. And let me add she looks as good as 4 scoops vanilla, toped with hot fudge and multiple cherries.



Chris Brown Tears apart the stage with a performance that can satisfy any and every visual pallet. Can you see a pattern here, I give it about 1 more year, and he will be walking away with a mantel burden, with someone to polish them for him.


In full retrospect the show was great and I am sure that there is more to the story stay posted and let me know what you think about the clothes, the style and the people wearing them.

We miss you Kanye West, and stay strong for your Family and may your mother rest well in peace. Thank you Usher for reminding us that someone in the industry is hurting right now.

Until them good night and good day.


Ramain the catalyst and you will make your mark!

MLS-Houston Dynamo take home the hardware




Dwayne De Rosario With an unflinching attack of the net, with a great snap header, to bring the lead to the Houston Dynamo. I was not a fan of soccer, with this much excitement within me, until I saw Dwayne De Rosario make that goal. It was pure athleticism.

The commentators were taken in by his abilities, the crowd went wild, you could turn off your TV and you could hear the roar of the stadium across the country. One Commentator, stated this is something you will come to expect from Dwayne, he is always surprising his opponents. I am ecstatic to see this, and I am now an official fan of Soccer.


Also he has a MVP hardware, Congratulate the man. Now the Big hardware goes too, drum roll please...The Houston Dynamo!

Writer Strike-Back in talks?



It seems that the negotiating table has attendees. What will bedetermined from the negotiations will either be a settlement or an out right steam role of power.

I have read in the LA Times that the renewal of contracts will be apart of the deal:

"The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said late Friday that they would resume talks Nov. 26 on a new contract for 10,500 writers to replace the one that expired Oct. 31. The two sides announced the plan in identical statements, a rare show of unity. "


A rare show of Unity or is "this Article", contain droplets of facts and hopeful fiction?

I need to understand, what happens to the writers who do not get their contracts renewed? What are the terms of these contracts? When the Chiefs at the Major Studios and up in corporate make the call, what will be affected, who will gain, and who will lose? If these negotiations contrinue on, I am afraid, my girlfriend is going to ask me another questions that I have to answer. No honey that is an old episode of Jay Leno, take some time off from work and you will see that britany spears has all her hair, and Christina Aguilera is not popuar as B-spears.

However take a look at this article, I pulled this off of the united Hollywood Blog this may bring you more Insight as to how things are being handled:


(Breaking news from the WGA - the AMPTP has agreed to come back to the table on November 26th. Now, let's hope they are prepared to make a fair deal. This is progress. Everyone wants to go back to work. Everyone wants fair compensation for their work.)

Dafur Now- What Don Cheadle has to say...


Don Cheadle is becoming more active globally as of late. Browsing my favorite entertainment magazine site I came across a current posting on Dafur and the state of Genocide.

Here is the article Originaly on Paste Magazine.com



Darfur Now: Responding to Genocide

Writer: Josh Jackson, photo by Samantha Casolan
Features, Issue 37, Published online on 08 Nov 2007

When the U.S. House passed a resolution to call the atrocities in Darfur by their “rightful name: ‘genocide,’” it marked the first time in history that the United States had officially recognized the extermination of a people while the killing was still happening. Unlike the Nazi concentration camps—the scope of their horrors only made clear after Allied troops moved into Germany—the world knows the immensity of evil that has continued to occur in Sudan’s western province. But what can one individual do in the face of such knowledge?

That question is at the center of Ted Braun’s new documentary, Darfur Now, which follows six individuals responding to the crisis in very different ways, from young-mother-turned-rebel-fighter Hejewa Adam (whose three-month-old son Nasaraldeen was beaten to death by Janjaweed militias) and Ahmed Mohammed Abakar (head sheikh in one of the refugee camps) to Ecuadorean aid worker Pablo Recalde. “[When I looked at what was happening in Darfur],” says Braun, "what I found shocked me—both the nature and magnitude of the crimes and the world’s indifference. I wanted to make a film that would reach a wide audience, and I thought the best way to look at the conflict from many points of view, and give people hope, [was to] put them in the shoes of people who could make a difference.”

One of these people is Don Cheadle, who had to look at the reality of genocide head-on while filming 2004’s Hotel Rwanda. When the film was screened for a group of government officials, he was asked to join a congressional mission to The Sudan and Chad. “Once I’d seen it with my own eyes,” he says, “it was impossible to come back and do nothing. I came back, took stock, and thought, ‘Where do I have influence?’ And then I realized, ‘Oh, I’m an actor.’ I go on red carpets and people ask me questions like what does Brad [Pitt] eat. And I say, ‘anything,’ and then I get to go into my thing.”

Cheadle has used his celebrity to line up meetings with presidential candidates like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain. The film also follows his travels with George Clooney to China and Turkey to bring up the issue with foreign leaders and open the doors for other advocates for peace. “We can get people in a room,” he says. “Will it make a difference? We don’t have the perspective to measure. But Brad said it best: ‘We can’t get out of the light, and they can’t get in the light. We have to help with that shift.’”

The film also follows Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, as his office digs through piles of evidence before indicting Ahmad Harun, Sudan’s former interior minister (accused of organizing a massacre of civilians and using the Janjaweed militias to displace more than 2 million people from their villages and into refugee camps). When Moreno-Ocampo watched the film and saw refugees referring to him by name in speeches, to inspire hope, he was taken aback. “This is why we do what we do,” he says. “I was a little surprised, but very happy.”

While not everyone has the platform of a movie star or the role of an international prosecutor, Adam Sterling proves that anyone can make a difference. The 24-year-old UCLA grad founded a grassroots organization to pressure international businesses to divest in The Sudan through legislation. Braun shows Sterling beating the bushes in California until his bill is signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. He’s now working on duplicating the efforts in other states. “It’s tough to gauge our success when the goal is not disengagement. The goal is to bring peace to Darfur."

And for the Sudanese men and women who criticize the government in the film, Braun says, “There are plans in place to protect them. That said, Harun is now Minister of Humanitarian Affairs [in charge of the refugee camps he filled up]. Both Hejewa and Sheik Ahmed … said to me that they were willing to die to have their stories told. That’s something I wasn’t really prepared for when I went there. I’ve dealt with stories all my life, but I’ve never had a story that was truly life and death."

Race

Race...racisms! For as long as I can remember in my decades years of life on this planet thus far. I have seen too many events that depict the African American as an outcast or any one with a darker tan.
