How Random!! Ying Yang Twins to Visit Dr. Phil Show...

The issue of urban youth donning their sagging pants in public will be discussed before a nationwide audience. Community organization Hip Hop Government (www.hiphopgovernment.org) has expanded its "Pull 'Em Up" billboard campaign to additional cities in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex and is taking the campaign national. The organization's co-founders Jay Scroggins, Damon Wofford, and Chris Williams have been invited to appear on Dr. Phil's talk show, which will bring the anti-sagging campaign to a national audience when the show airs later this month. Dallas Deputy Pro Tem Mayor Dwaine Caraway, the Rev. Al Sharpton and rap duo Kaine and D-Roc of the Ying Yang twins will also make an appearance. I don't even think I want to watch that episode! LOL!The featured guests were invited to discuss the controversial topic of whether government should regulate the way people wear their clothes and will also discuss hip hop artists accepting responsibility for the effect of their music and lyrics on the hip hop culture. "We are excited for the opportunity to address issues that concern our culture," expressed Williams. "Too often, when members of the hip hop community are in the media, it's for something negative. It feels good to know that we are being invited because we are recognized for our positive contributions to the community."

EDDIE/TRACEY SPLIT: Page Six says Edmonds called it off because actor became 'physically intimidating.'

*The New York Post's Page Six is reporting more hearsay surrounding the sudden breakup of Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds just before their scheduled U.S. wedding.
The column claims they parted ways because "Murphy became bossy and physically intimidating, and insisted his mother accompany them on their honeymoon."
"That was kind of the last straw," a friend of the bride told the newspaper. "She was happy to sign a prenup - she has her own money. She was very accommodating. But then it was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Eddie became very controlling and they got into a huge fight. He started screaming at her and grabbed her. She was scared."
The friend added, "She was even willing to change her name to Tracey Murphy, and all the wedding invites and place cards had her labeled as such."
A rep for Edmonds declined to comment, while a rep for Murphy said, "We won't comment any further on this."

SHAQ'S MONTHLY FINANCIAL BUDGET EXPOSED: Baller pays $1500 per month for cable; $17,000 monthly for clothes.

After nearly five years of marriage and four children together, the Miami Heat center and his wife Shaunie filed for divorce in September. A petition filed by Shaq's lawyer stated: "The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken." It also accused Shaunie of being "secretive about her assets ... particularly with respect to certain properties owned or titled in either [her] name alone or in other entities."
The petition requested that the court require Shaunie to give a "correct accounting of all money, funds, stocks, bonds, and other securities (including bearer securities)" acquired during the marriage.
Shaq's complete financial filing is posted at http://www.extratv.com/.

SUGE KNIGHT CAUGHT IN GANG INJUNCTION: Judge asked to ban Death Row co-founder and Mob Piru members from gathering in Compton.




*In addition to his financial woes, Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight may soon be forbidden to hang in public with his Blood homies in the CPT.
The city of Compton has asked a court to ban members of the Mob Piru gang from being able to congregate there. The order requested by city officials lists 200 people associated with the gang – including Suge.
"This is crazy," Knight told the Los Angeles Times. "I'm a 42-year-old businessman, not a gang member. I don't even live in Compton anymore."
The injunction would ban Mob Piru from congregating, carrying guns, drinking alcohol in public or staying out past 10 p.m. A hearing on the matter was to be held Thursday.

Cast announced for Flavor of Love 3, the “final season”

Flavor Flav’s will soon have his third chance at love via his VH1 reality series Flavor of Love, and VH1 has announced the women who will try to win his heart.
Perhaps most newsworthy is the fact that, in a press release, VH1 calls this “[t]he third and final season.” In other words, whatever the outcome, we will not see another Flavor Flav dating show. Ever. Right.
Five of the 20 women were selected by viewers, and all of them have been assigned their ridiculous nicknames, many of which seem to be city names as written by lolcats: Bee-Ex, Bunz, DYMZ, El, Grayve, Hotlanta, Ice, Peechee, Prancer, Q-Tee, Saint Lewis, Savanna, Seezinz, Shore-Tee, Shy, Sinceeer, Thing 1 & Thing 2, Tik, Rayna, and Myammee. If some of them look familiar, Buzz[Killed] suggests why that may be.
While the series debuts Feb. 11, the first episode will appear on a new web site, FlavorofLoveWorld.com, the Friday before that Monday.

Rihanna + Chris Brown: we don’t believe you

Publicity reps are paid to dupe the unsuspecting public into believing whatever line they feed us. When a celebrity is in need of damage control because of persistent rumors such as he is sleeping with his manager who is old enough to be his mama - they usually resort to the manufactured relationship.

Hollywood has been faking celebrity relationships since the early days of moving pictures. Remember Rock Hudson who dated many Hollywood starlets so the public wouldn’t find out that he was gay? And who can forget the totally unbelievable relationship between Ciara and Bow Wow? Honestly, who did they think they were fooling?

Now we have Rihanna, the new Hollywood IT girl who we’re supposed to believe is dating the prince of R&B, Chris Brown. It would be cute if it were true, but unfortunately it isn’t. Good try though, Tina.

INSIDER: BLACK HOLLYWOOD IS FURIOUS THAT JENNIFER HUDSON IS GETTING THE LEADING ROLE IN TYLER PERRY'S NEW FILM


January 25, 2008. If Jennifer Hudson though it was difficult doing a movie with Beyonce - that may have been a cake walk. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Tyler Perry has decided to cast Jennifer Hudson as the lead in his new film The Family That Preys Together. And that move has dozens of established Black actresses furious.

One top list actress spoke to MediaTakeOut.com on the condition of anonymity. She explained, "There are so many real actresses here and he went and chose Jennifer Hudson? Do you know how many people worked on [Tyler's] projects when he was a nobody ... and now that he has a [movie] budget, he must have forgot who the [EXPLETIVE] we are."

And the actress, who claims she speaks for many in Hollywood, had a lot more fire to tell MediaTakeOut.com. She added, "How can you have Jennifer Hudson being the lead - and Alfre [Woodard] and Sanaa [Lathan] supporting her - what kind of sense does that make ... I mean what does he think this is - it's not a musical. [Jennifer's] not going to be singing anything."

Sanaa Lathan, Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard and Rockmond Dunbar have already signed on to Tyler's new film. It's scheduled to begin filming in early March.

Ultimate Warrior: Hulk Should Do Himself In


Former face-painting wrestling superstar and current homophobe Ultimate Warrior is using Heath Ledger's death as an opportunity to take serious shots at Heath, gays and his former rival, Hulk Hogan.In a post on his blog titled "dead long before 28," the idiot Warrior refers to Heath as "Leather Ledger," and facetiously praises the late actor's parenting skills by saying he "did what it took to kill himself," adding, "His kid is without a father, yes, but the negative influence is now removed and his own child has the chance for a full recovery." Warrior also refers to "Brokeback Mountain" as "Bendover Brokeback" and mockingly praises Heath's courage for taking the role. All this from a man who became famous for oiling himself up and running around in man-panties and teased hair!But the bashing wasn't over -- Warrior then went after Hulk Hogan's fathering skills, saying, "He insists on sticking around ruining, and profiting off of, the parentally mismanaged lives of his own children."

Britney Spears Tries To Pick Up Random Kids After School Lets Out

Moms were getting their mace ready I am sure as they watched Britney Spears sitting in her car, smoking cigarettes and talking to herself outside of their children’s school. One mother even asked her what she was doing there.
She was just rambling and confused,” says the witness, who approached Spears to ask if she was OK. “She said, ‘I’m here to pick up my kids.’ But then she changed her story and said, ‘They aren’t my kids; I have a new attorney, and I came to pick them up for her.’”
Adds the witness, “All I could think was, Who in their right mind would let her pick up their kids?”
In the end, she left without any kids but try to exchange phone numbers with a mom who she thought was nice.
But before getting into her car and driving off (without any children), she chatted up the female witness: “She said, ‘You’re so nice. You should give me your number. I don’t have very many friends.’”
CAN YOU IMAGINE?
(So sorry for this Brit Brit post. I do want you to know I have decided there really needs to be a story in order for me to write about her. I have read all your complaints about the overexposure of this troubled star. Paris Hilton is no longer a main player on this blog and Britney is due for a downplay as well. But this story was… scary.)
