Snoop Diggity Breaks it all Down

My momma gave me the name. I used to love Peanuts and Charlie Brown -- Snoopy was my favorite cartoon character growing up. I watched so much, I started to look like him.

A lot of people like to fool you and say that you're not smart if you never went to college, but common sense rules over everything. That's what I learned from selling crack.

Love goes unappreciated a lot of times, but you still gotta keep giving it.

The first time I got high off marijuana was in the seventies, with one of my uncles. They had these little roaches on the table -- these part-way-smoked marijuana cigarettes -- and there was some Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull. I went in there and sipped the Schlitz, and my uncle asked me did I wanna hit that roach. And I was like, "Yeah." He put it on the roach clip for me and lit it up, and I hit that motherfucker. I was about eight or nine years old.

Weed: It makes me feel the way I need to feel.

White Rapper Calls Black Women “Nappy Headed Hoes”

When you’re adrift in the wake of a 2.4 Pitchfork review, now’s not the time to make Don Imus shout-outs. Rapper Asher Roth was quickly forced to apologize on his Twitter recently, when some of his followers objected to a tweet that cited Don Imus’ controversial statement on the Rutgers women’s basketball team. P4K’s Ian Cohen really nailed it when he said of Roth, “I’ll probably only get to say this once, but frat boys deserve better.”

“At rutgers stirring up a suckus,” Roth tweeted. Okay, not bad.

Then: “At rutgers stirring up a ruckus.” Oh no, is he tweet-rapping?

“Been a day of rest and relaxation, sorry twitter – hanging out with nappy headed hoes.” Boom.

Black News: Actor Terrence Howard Won’t be in the Iron Man Sequel

Marvel "didn't honor my contract," says the actor, who was replaced in the sequel by Don Cheadle

Terrence Howard is not pleased he was replaced in the "Iron Man" sequel over a reported salary dispute.
"Marvel made a choice, and it was a very, very bad choice," the actor -- whose role was given to Don Cheadle -- tells Parade.com. "They didn't keep their word. They didn't honor my contract."

Howard says producers didn't share the profits of the flick -- which earned over $318 million -- with most of the actors.

Jamie Foxx: The Soloist

Oscar-winning actor, singer, comedian and radio-show host Jamie Foxx found it hard to disconnect from his role as a homeless schizophrenic in the new movie "The Soloist." The part was so emotionally taxing that Foxx started therapy to help him cope with the role and keep himself separate from the character.

"It was something that I enjoyed, but it shredded me. I went to places that I never thought I would ever go," he said, according to Bossip. "I just remember being in my bathroom broke down, talking to my manager, like, 'I don't know if I'll be able to finish this.' "

For the movie, in which he co-stars with Robert Downey Jr., Foxx found that even when he wasn't on set, he was still consumed by the role of Nathanial Ayers, a Juilliard-trained musician who suffers from schizophrenia and wound up living on the streets of Los Angeles. "You had to lose your mind every day you're on set, and sometimes you didn't have enough time to get your mind back before the weekend."

Jay Z’s Managers apparently can’t pay the bills

“Jay-Z ordered a bottle of Patron Platinum and some expensive champagne, and everything was going great,” M2 man- ager Dan Develin tells Page Six. “The waitress has known him for five years, and he’s a good friend of Joey’s, so we ended up comping a lot of their bill.”

But when the check came for $1,500 — amounting to less than a third of the tab they’d actually rung up — things got hairy. “Kyser and Costner were making a big show of wanting to take Jay-Z out, so they started arguing over who got to pick up the check,” Develin says. “Jay-Z ended up tipping the waitress $500 and going outside to wait.”

Eventually, Develin says, the two decided to split it. After Costner’s corporate MasterCard was declined, however, Kyser agreed to foot the entire bill.

“Before we could get him to sign the receipt, he left the club,” Develin says. “Of course, we still have his card, so we called up his office, and his assistant told us someone would come by to sign. Weeks went by, and no one ever did. Finally, we got a call from AmEx and were told that Kyser was disputing the charge. When we called him up again, his assistant said, ‘Oh, Michael says he doesn’t actually remember being there’ — which is crazy because we have his card and photos of him and Jay-Z.”

Yea, Right: Nick Cannon Tries to Defend Mariah’s Privacy

Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon has urged the press to stop speculating about when the couple will welcome their first child - calling the relentless pregnancy rumors "disrespectful".

The pair wed in the Bahamas last year and have been dogged by baby rumors ever since.

Earlier this week, the Hero hitmaker was forced to deny reports she is undergoing fertility treatment to help her become pregnant.

And now Cannon has hit back - insisting the media should give the couple some space.

Black Celebs: Bow wow and Omarion? Heart Throbs or Throbbing on One Another?

[A] source in JD's camp, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity, claims that the real cause for the split was that Bow Wow expressed to JD that his relationship with Omarion was more than simply musical after the two were caught engaged in a sexual activity. The source would not go into detail but said "He (Jermaine Dupri) was going nuts about it. These two were in a main room in the house doing all this. Me and two other assistants was with him (Jermaine Dupri) and we saw it going down and he sent us out of the room and was yelling and screaming at them". [...]

A producer who worked on the first Omarion-Bow Wow single released only a few months ago, confirms that, "what was going on with them in the back rooms and in the studio was more than just two dudes working on music. These dudes was feeling each other like a man and a woman."

Oprah Does Twitter – the world goes insane

The official answer is in regarding Twitter Chief Executive Evan Williams' teasing tweet Thursday about Friday being a "very big day": @Oprah.

Oprah issued her first tweet around 7:10 a.m. PDT Friday--the same day Williams and Twitter's top celebrity, Ashton Kutcher, will join her on the show.

"HI TWITTERS . THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME. FEELING REALLY 21st CENTURY," she said, in etiquette-trampling all-caps.

It's easy to roll your eyes at the Twitter hype. The 30-person company still doesn't have a business model. AGoogle advertising partnership or an acquisition would have been more exciting news for the tech crowd. But here's why the Oprah moment shouldn't be dismissed lightly.

Within about 15 minutes her first tweet, Oprah had more than 76,000 followers, with a hundred more arriving by the minute. Four hours later, she had more than 125,000.

Strictly Pimpin: TI Might Have Got an Easy Deal

One thing is now certain: T.I. is going to prison. A federal judge today approved a negotiated plea for one year plus a day in federal prison for trying to buy machine guns and ammo from undercover agents in 2007. As part of the deal, the rapper was also sentenced to 1,500 hours of community service, a $100,000 fine, and one year of home confinement (much of which he has already served). T.I. could reduce his time behind bars to about 10 months with good behavior. He is scheduled to voluntarily report to prison some time after May 19.

But is he getting off too easy? Given that federal sentencing guidelines recommend that a person who pleads guilty to these charges should serve four years and nine months in prison, some Atlanta defense attorneys have suggested that the megastar was able to use his celebrity to reduce the punishment. "This has been an unusual plea from the very beginning," says Page Pate, a criminal defense attorney with the Atlanta firm Pate & Brody and former chairman of the Criminal Law Section of the Atlanta Bar Association. "But they [apparently] felt he was in the unique position because of the things he could do with his celebrity that other people couldn't do. Is it right or wrong? I won’t get into that. But is it fair? No. Joe Smith isn’t going to get this deal."

While 'Everybody Hates Chris,' nobody hates Tichina Arnold. The veteran actress of ‘Martin’ fame currently plays the role of Rochelle on UPN’s and Chris Rock’s breakout show. Arnold recently won a NAACP Image Award for outstanding actress in a comedy series for her characterization of Rochelle.

We went Off Topic with Tichina to talk about the 80s and what was really going on between Pam and Martin all those years.
We all know you can sing from the ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ and ‘Martin’ days. Any singer you would ever want to play in a movie?
I would love to play somebody strong. A strong black woman like Gladys Knight or Nina Simone.
Besides being really funny, ‘Everybody Hates Chris’ is a tribute of sorts to the 80s. What do wish would come back from the 80s and what do you hope never comes back?

Jamie Foxx Gets Heat for his Words About Miley Cirus

Jamie Foxx Might be in trouuuuuble!

The 41-year-old’s foul outburst was prompted by a caller to the show who brought up a month-old story in which Cyrus pledged to “ruin” Radiohead after the rockers rejected a request to meet with the Disney star backstage at the Grammys.

“Who is Miley Cyrus?” an incredulous Foxx, who has a teenage daughter of his own, said. “The one with all the gums? She gotta get a gum transplant…S–t.”

The insults didn’t stop there. Or get less personal.

“She’s gonna ruin Radiohead’s career? The same Radiohead that gets paid a million dollars just to sample their songs?

“Make a sex tape and grow up,” he continued. “Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan and start seeing a lesbian and get some crack in your pipe. Catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat.

“That’s what I want.” E Online

Miley’s dad, Billy Ray, is particularly upset, according to the source.

“He thinks Jamie was out of line and didn’t find any humor in it,” the source told me this afternoon. “He doesn’t understand why he would do that to Miley, especially since he has teenage daughter himself.” E Online

Foxx noted to Jay Leno that he was doing a routine, saying: “Sometimes as comedians, you know, we go a little too far.”

Black Celeb News: Beyonce and Jay-Z made $80Mill Apiece last year

It’s no secret that most celebs can’t complain when it comes to their salaries — but how much do they actually make? According to Parade, quite a range in 2008 — from $1 to billions.

Jennifer Aniston reportedly earned $27 million on the strength of films such as “Marley & Me,” and funnyman Will Ferrell made $31 million. Actor/director Tyler Perry, the force behind the “Madea” movies, brought home $125 million, while “Grey’s Anatomy” star Patrick Dempsey made a McDreamy $3.5 million.

In the music world, Beyonce scored $80 million thanks to her latest album, “I Am… Sasha Fierce” and a budding film career, and husband Jay-Z did even better with $82 million. Country cutie Taylor Swift — the top-selling musician of 2008 — made $5.5 million. Resurgent pop princess Britney Spears wasn’t far behind, making $2.25 million.

Kim Kardashian’s Ridiculous Words

These words came out of Kim Kardashian’s mouth recently to Complex Magazine, “I do an eBay auction once every three months, and my whole family gets involved. If we’re photographed wearing something, we don’t typically like to wear it again, so we do these auctions, and I give the proceeds to the Dream Foundation, which is kind of like Make-A-Wish, but it grants wishes to terminally ill adults.”

Black Celeb News: Chris Brown Has Moved On….

Chris Brown is moving on.

The R&B singer has started dating again since his troubled relationship with pop chanteuseRihanna ended last month, and it appears he has gotten back together with another ex-girlfriend.

Brown’s new/old lady is University of Mary Washington student Erica Jackson. “[Chris and Erica] met inVirginia, where he’s from,” a source close to the singer says. “They dated back in the day and reconnected a few weeks ago when Chris was in town. They’ve been spending a lot of time together, but things only really heated up over the last two weeks.”

And while Jackson is “no Rihanna,” the general consensus among his friends and family is that the new girl is going to be good for him in the long run. “[Erica] has a good head on her shoulders; she’s solid,” says our insider. Chris and his new gal pal were spotted leaving a Sunset Blvd. tattoo parlor on Saturday afternoon.

Your Black News: Chris Brown No Longer Squeaky Clean

At this point, Chris Brown would have been better off getting caught with a bong. At least then, the scandal enveloping his white-hot career could have been dismissed by some as a youthful indiscretion.

But Brown's arrest in connection with an alleged assault of a woman has potentially devastating implications for the 19-year-old heartthrob because it unravels the charming, wholesome image that fans know and love.

"If it's true, his career is probably over," said Billboard magazine's editorial director, Bill Werde, although he cautioned that "it's important to withhold judgment until all of the facts are known."

On a night in which Brown was supposed to deliver a prime-time Grammy performance, he was instead being processed in a Los Angeles police station on a charge connected to an alleged assault on a woman reports have identified as Rihanna, the 20-year-old pop princess. Brown was booked on a suspicion of making a criminal threat after he and a woman had an argument that escalated into a fight in a ritzy Los Angeles neighborhood, according to police; Rihanna and Brown pulled out of the Grammys hours before the Sunday telecast.

Barack and Michelle Finally Pick their Puppy

Who let the dog out?

That's the Washington mystery du jour.

The identity of the first puppy — the one that the Washington press corps has been yelping about for months, the one President Obama has seemed to delight in dropping hints about -- leaked out yesterday. This despite White House efforts to delay the news until the big debut planned for Tuesday afternoon.

The little guy is a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog given to the Obama girls as a gift by that Portuguese water dog-lovin' senator himself, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. The girls named it Bo — and let it be noted that you learned that here first. Malia and Sasha chose the name, because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because first lady Michelle Obama's father was nicknamed Diddley, a source said. (Get it? Bo . . . Diddley?)

Terrell Owens Says People Have Been Unfair to Him

Terrell Owens is learning the Bills offense and happy to be participating in the team's voluntary workout program -- at least for a little while.

Owens, in Buffalo to work out with new teammates, said today it's wrong that there's been criticism of him for not participating in the team's voluntary offseason workout program from the start.

"What I find so unfair is that I'm not the only guy out of 32 teams that didn't show up to voluntary and optional weight sessions," Owens said at a midday news conference. "That's what so frustrating that everybody nit-picks anything and everything I do."

After Owens missed the start of the team's workout program last month, he told USA TODAY he did not plan on participating in voluntary sessions but added he might join the team periodically.

Do You Remember MC Eiht? This Groupie Does

 

Remember MC Eiht?  He’s the dude from Compton’s Most Wanted who also starred in the movie Menace 2 Society about 100 years ago.  Well, apparently his girlfriend is putting him on blast for not being able to get it up during sex.  Here is what she had to say:

“[MC] Eiht has a problem. With his penis – it doesn’t work. He can’t get it up for some reason.
He said it’s because he f*cked so many b*tches back in the day, when he really had it going on. You know how n*ggas got it going on, they got all this money, they rappers, they f*ck 2 and three b*tches a day.
