snatched from TheLifeFiles:

Let’s see how long this lasts – it was even banned in Las Vegas!!!! A gentleman’s club called Déjà Vu has created this Plexiglas wrapped truck complete with poles and dancing girls in hopes of luring some customers, or at least enough publicity to make one of the “mom groups” come after them.

“Everybody’s taking pictures and running up and screaming and trying to get on the bus and throwing dollars outside. It’s actually very exciting..” said a dancer who remained anonymous but insisted all girls do keep their clothes on.

This is so cunty!! I want one in my neighborhood.

How do you feel about this?! Leave comments!

College Students @ HBCU's get more funding.

0 comments
Obama is FINALLY brangin' the bucks to where they belong!

From Bossip.com:
President Obama's administration has agreed to increase funding to the nation's historically Black colleges and universities.

In the President's 2011 fiscal year budget he calls for an increase of $98 million for HBCUs nationwide.

The administration is also said to be looking to increase Pell Grants and double Perkins loans and tuition tax credits.

The call for additional funding comes amongst criticism aimed at the President for not renewing an HBCU funding program used during Geroge W. Bush's Presidency.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan has since spoken out on the President's new plan for the institutions, telling TV One's Roland Martin:

“We have great news, that, going forward, we're proposing in the budget an increase of $98 million annually for HBCUs, so that's a tremendous commitment. I said from Day One we desperately need HBCUs not just to survive, but to thrive.”

The $98 million comes as the President tries to find a way to ease its $1.6 trillion dollar deficit.

A thirteenth victim committed suicide over the scandal, according to the boy's parents.

The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake centred approximately 25 kilometers (16 mi) from Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, which struck at 16:53:09 local time (21:53:09 UTC) on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 13 kilometres (8.1 mi). The United States Geological Survey recorded a series of aftershocks, fourteen of them between magnitudes 5.0 and 5.9. The International Red Cross has stated that as many as 3 million people have been affected by the quake, with as many as 100,000 deaths likely, according to the prime minister.

Most of Port-au-Prince's major landmarks were significantly damaged or destroyed in the earthquake, including the Presidential Palace (though the President survived), the National Assembly building, the Port-au-Prince Cathedral, and the main jail. All hospitals were destroyed or so badly damaged that they have been abandoned. The United Nations reported that headquarters of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), located in the capital, collapsed and that a large number of UN personnel were unaccounted for. The Mission's Chief, Hédi Annabi, was confirmed dead on 13 January by President René Préval.

Usher silent over his $1 million burglary.

0 comments




Singer Usher Raymond failed to respond as the Fox affiliate in Atlanta, GA reports that days before Christmas Usher was victim of a car break-in across the street from Lenox Mall. While in the AT&T store Fox says:

According to the police report, the vehicle was described as a black GMC Yukon. Raymond said and there was over a million dollars worth of jewelry,
$50,000 in furs and closing and about $20,000 stolen.
A witness said they saw a Chevy Impala with tinted windows drive up next to the SUV. The witness told
police a man got out of the Impala and popped open the door to the SUV.

This witness, an AT&T store employee, just watched it all happen and didn't even tell Usher or his people that all of it was going down RIGHT in front of the store. FOOLISH!

Johnson & Johnson heiress found dead at 30.

0 comments


developing story:
Casey Johnson, the troubled heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and alleged fiancée to reality star Tila Tequila, was found dead Monday morning in Los Angeles. She was 30 years old.

Johnson had been in the spotlight quite a bit in recent months. Arrested in November for grand theft, she was accused of robbing from her former girlfriend.

[source]

Tila Tequila told TMZ that her and Johnson were arguing at Tila's house on Dec. 28 and Tila tried to call Johnson the next day because Johnson left her dogs at Tila's house.

Johnson's phone has been turned off since then. And, the frequent Twitter user posted her last tweet on Dec. 29, too.

So many people are dying SO young these days. More to come...

New anti-paparazzi laws protecting celebs in effect.

0 comments

From BreatheHeavy.com:

We're all guilty of it; wanting to see our favorite star shopping, grabbing a Starbucks or enjoying family time... at their expense.

Britney Spears has seemingly disappeared from the public eye in the last week, a rare opportunity for the singer.

Are Britney and her team going the extra mile to ensure Britney's privacy from the paparazzi, or have the new anti-paparazzi laws, which went into effect on January 1, 2010, barred photogs from cashing in?

"The new California law makes it a crime to take and sell unauthorized photos of celebrities in 'personal or familial activity,'" according to CNN, with a $50,000 fine imposed on violators.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed this bill in October, 2009, fining paparazzi for snapping photos that violate a celeb's "right to privacy," as well as media outlets such as magazines for purchasing the photos.

This means photos of Britney and her kids playing at the beach, similar to the ones captured by paparazzi agency X17 two weeks ago, are now prohibited.

Celebrity columnist Ben Widdicombe claims celebrities like Britney sometimes orchestrate photo-ops for their image, saying:

"Celebrities like Britney Spears, for example, are infamous in the industry for letting their assistants tell the paparazzi when they'll be leaving the gates."

But the difference is, photos like these ARE authorized.

Elton John came to Eminem's aid back in 2001 after critics said Eminem's lyrics were homophobic and even made a special appearance during Eminem's performance at the 43rd annual Grammy's to show support.

Now, John is helping Eminem again. For the past 18 months, the flamboyant British icon says he's been quietly helping the rapper cope with a drug addiction.

"He's doing brilliantly," John said in a recent BBC radio interview.

"Don't disrespect the hand that feeds you. Or, it will slap you right in the face." --Teddy Riley
via Twitter

Teddy Riley (formerly of the groups Guy and Blackstreet) was going in like a Lil Wayne, Drake song on this daughters and doesn't even feel bad about it.

Apparently, on Dec. 23rd Riley's adult daughters were telling their father they don't appreciate his gold-digging girlfriend who is SUPPOSEDLY around the same age they are, whereas Riley is 42-years-old.

There was an evil exchange on Twitter [click here for screencaps]:

"U R NOT MY FAMILY!!! What the heck, not even close. Need I remind u he's known u for what 2 months?? Ur totally disposable," daughter, Deja Riley, said to Riley's girlfriend.

Riley soon after demanded his girlfriend delete her Twitter account and told his daughters to 'get out.' After refusing, Riley escorted them to the door, causing their brief altercation.

The daughters recently obtained a restraining order against their father who claims he "handled it like a parent."

Is Naomi Campbell walking into money troubles?

0 comments
OOH CHILD! Last week was an interesting one in the world of supermodel Naomi Campbell. I woulda thought since Beyoncé had us tryna walk like her she would have been SOME KIND of reigning queen. But, APPARENTLY that isn't the case.

Please add Naomi Campbell to your church's sick-and-shut-in list because is sick according to This Is London-
Naomi Campbell is suffering “litigation exhaustion” and has pulled out of her latest court case, incurring an estimated £300,000 legal bill.

The 39-year-old model discontinued her case against Vanessa Frisbee, a former personal assistant, whom she had accused of breaching confidentiality by selling a story about her in 2000 to the News of the World for £25,000


The judge BASICALLY told Campbell that he gonna pray for her and all that; but, Campbell STILL has to pay 90% of Frisbee's lawyers/court fees AND all of her own.

OH, BUT THERE'S MORE!!!

The Young, Black, & Fabulous (one of my favorite sites) posted this today:
We’re told some of Naomi’s close associates had lunch with a group of publicists this past Saturday morning. And thanks to our source’s eavesdropping ear, the group was overheard complaining about how busy they will be after the new year…because Naomi will file bankruptcy.
This is DEFINITELY not the tea! iGuess after all the legal battles she's fought, it's finally caught up with her.

You get a perfume! You get perfume! You get a cologne!

Right after the announcement that Beyoncé is releasing her Heat fragrance in February 2010 [click here to read about it.] I've just gotten word that RIHANNA is due to release a fragrance Summer 2010!

It was actually announced in April by Jay-Z. The company over Jay's fragrances, Iconic Fragrances, LLC, is teaming up with Parlux Fragrances Inc. to release fragrances for Rihanna, Kanye West, and another "well-established" female celebrity. [source]

“We are excited for the opportunity to partner with Parlux and their management team in the launch of these dynamic new brands," Jay-Z said in a press release. "This venture will take what is already a successful franchise at Parlux to a new level.”

GREAT NEWS JAY! JUST FANTASTIC! lol. iLove how editors of press releases make everything sound SO fabulous.

Fast-forward to now and RiRi's been making progress.

"I've been right there with a chemist mixing the formulas," Rihanna said in recent interview with The Sun. [source]

I'm glad she gettin' to put her hands on SOMETHING. Cause, she must've missed a thousand times when tryna fight back with Chris Brown.

Anywhoo...the scent is now final and moving one step closer to being released.

Question is...who's fragrance are we more excited for?! Which will we be buying?!

Michelle Obama's Life Threatened

0 comments

This past weekend, 35-year-old Kristy Lee Roshia, was arrested in Kailua, Hawaii for threatening to "blow away" Michelle Obama. According to an Associated Press article, Roshia phoned the Secret Service's Boston office in November and told a receptionist, "I will kill Michelle Obama." She also threatened to "kill Marines" and traveled to Hawaii in September claiming she wanted "to protect Obama."

Roshia was arrested TWO miles away from the home where the Obama family was set to spend the holidays upon arrival later this week. Roshia has been charged with threatening a family member of the president and assaulting a federal agent after, according to the article, struck a Secret Service agent in the arms and face during her arrest.

A Secret Service affidavit claims she's been hassling the black-tie government organization since 2004 sending them photos of herself, poetry, and love letters.

My response to this:

And EWW @ if she was attracted to George Bush. She needs to be admitted to the crazy house STAT for this shit she doing.
