Video: Fat Joe - I Won’t Tell - Feat. J. Holiday

Snapshot of the Day..

Will Smith was immortalized on Tuesday in Hollywood @ The Grauman's Chinese Theater.

If you know your Hollywood history then you'll know that only a VERY few are invited to cement their hands AND feet in front of the legendary theater.

Congrats Will.

FLASHBACK: Michael Sembello - Maniac (Flashdance)

Ok, totally in flashback mode at the moment.

Andrew (my partner) has never seen Flashdance and never wants to.. Anyhoo he's always pretty disturbed when without warning I burst in song (the chorus cos that's all I know) and start flinging myself across the room doing my 'fast feet' and swinging my hair like Alex (Jennifer Beals)

Yeah, I suppose that could be kind of disturbing..

"She's a maniac, maniac on the floor, and she's dancing like she's never danced before"

Enjoy..

FLASHBACK: Alexander O'Neal - Our First Christmas - Music Video

Vick hit with 23-month prison sentence

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison today for his role in the inhumane treatment of dogs he owned for a dog fighting club. Despite the sentence, he could be out of jail in as few as three months for good behavior.

After Vick apologized to the court and his family, Hudson told him: “You need to apologize to the millions of young people who looked up to you.”

“Yes, sir,” Vick answered.

The 27-year-old player acknowledged using “poor judgment” and added, “I’m willing to deal with the consequences and accept responsibility for my actions.”

Vick was denied any credit for taking responsibility for his crime. Hudson agreed with a federal probation officer’s finding that Vick had lied about his hands-on killing of dogs and about his drug use. Vick tested positive for marijuana Sept. 13, violating conditions of his release while he awaited sentencing.

Snorting 50?? Say it aint so

This is funny, well not really...

Currently making it's rounds all over the net, a vid of 50 "apparently" snorting some unknown substance as a Croatian host and his camera guy walks into the room for an interview. His crew quickly wave the host away and block his view, 50 then comes outside to join the host...

Question's of the Day:
Is it him? Do all black people really look the same???

I'm not saying anything, judge for yourself.. I personally think they were praying, lol

Memories...

Today for some reason I’ve been having vivid flashbacks of me about 6 years old, sitting under one of the huge apple blossom trees at my school and making daisy chains. What can it mean I wonder???

Just thought I’d share…

Pimp C Found Dead!

OMG

Pimp C, real name Chad Butler — and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning. He was 33.

L.A. County Fire responded to a 911 call at the Mondrian Hotel, located on trendy Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed.

UGK is best known for appearing on the Jay-Z track “Big Pimpin’” in 2000, and more recently with Outkast on the song “International Player’s Anthem (I Choose You).” Pimp C had just performed with fellow rapper Too Short at the “House of Blues” in L.A. on Saturday night.

For those who really really know nothing about the last post, here's a flashback.. Loved this song back in the day.

Background
Another Bad Creation (aka ABC) from Atlanta Georgia, discovered by Michael Bivens (New Edition, Bell Biv DeVoe) in the late 80's early 90's and served as the manger and producer of the group.
