YA HEARD???

The more I try to not talk about 50 Cent – the more dumb sh*t (or smart, depending on how you look at it) he does. My Asian persuasion , Miss Info, over at Hot 97 broke the story about Fiddy’s meltdown over at his G-Unit offices.

According to her, here’s what went down.

One of my inside sources just saw 50 cent completely black out in the G-unit offices. 50 was screaming into his blackberry phone, he ripped off a 70-inch plasma off the wall and at the end of the…err…chat, he threw the phone straight through the window of his executive office….shattering glass all over the midtown Manhattan street.

Allegedly someone inside the Interscope camp may lose their job (or their head, if Fiddy has his way) because the video for 50’s 3rd single, called “Follow my Lead” featuring Robin Thicke, somehow just leaked to the web. Mind you, this single isn’t supposed to come out until October….that would be well after 50’s album Curtis drops and after his current single, “Ayo Technology,” (featuring a bigger blue-eye soulster Justin Timberlake,) has time to run its course.

That’s basically it in a nutshell. Now mind you I’m looking at this as just publicity for his new album. Whenever Fiddy drops a record all these high-octane shenanigans start to develop. I really hope none of you guys are falling for it. I mean it makes great grist for the mill, but outside of that, it’s pretty sad, and not all interesting. I just hope young 50 isn’t taking the lead of his father. Because that’s going to be one big mess should he follow in good ole daddies shoes.

Here’s the video that’s causing all the ruckus.

Sigh, I remember the days when D’Angelo used to rock my clock. He had that smooth neo soul voice that just made everything perfect in the midnight hour. Then he released that video simulating oral sex, which was sensory overload – and far too much for me to handle.

Well those days seem all but forgotten as D’Angelo seems to be following the footsteps of some of music’s tragic predecessors. Last week the Grammy-winning singer pleaded guilty to a DUI. He was fined and received a suspended jail sentence stemming from the 2005 incident.

Michael (that’s his real name – Michael Eugene Archer to be exact) has had a string of bad luck since his last studio album. In January of 2005, D'Angelo was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance, and driving while intoxicated. On September 19, 2005, just a week after being sentenced for cocaine possession, He was also critically injured in Powhatan County, Virginia when the SUV he was riding in hit a fence, ejecting him from the vehicle. He was not wearing a seatbelt. In August of 2006, D'Angelo completed a rehabilitation stint on the island of Antigua.

Now, I didn’t want to post what D’Angelo looks like now. But from what I am told, the abs are all gone. Here is the most recent picture I could find on the Internet. Click Here To See And speaking of D'Angelo, look at who's talking about his fugly years.

Beanie Segal Tells King Magazine: “It Wasn’t Me”

I could drag this out, but here’s the short version. Beanie called Kanye and Pharrell out in a video interview - saying that they should both “come out of the closet”, insinuating that they are practicing homosexuals. Well someone posted a video on youtube (see video below) of Beanie looking very How You Doin alongside Peedi Crack. People were talking, blah, blah, blah, and now everyone thinks that Beanie could in fact be pitching (or catching) for the other team.

But when King Magazine asked Beanie about the video, here’s what Bean’s had to say:

King: Then, a video titled “Beanie Sigel is Gay. Here’s Proof” hit the net, with Peedi Crack freestyling and you, um backing him up?

Beanie: Never saw the Peedi video. They can do anything they want with a computer. I don’t even fuck with the internet. I don’t have a Myspace page. There are like 30 pages that say they’re me, and none of them are. People will be like, “I hit you on the Myspace, and you ain’t accepted me as a friend.”

Was that an explanation? I just love celebrities who aren’t properly trained on how to handle the media. Beanie is a clear example of that. Here is the video. You tell me, if it looks altered or not. Oh, and I realize this information may be old news, but I didn’t hear about it until just yesterday, so I figured others hadn’t either.

In Hollywood News….

I can applaud Angelina Joile for her adoption efforts to give third world refugees a better life. But for god sakes, can someone please give Zahara a perm; they’re in Hollywood for goodness sakes.

I don’t know anyone who didn’t go and see ‘Transformers’. So you know with the success of the 500 million + grossing movie, they are working on a sequel. But I got an email from an executive I know that confirms New Regency is working with the Mark Gordon Co. to turn "Voltron: Defender of the Universe" into a live-action film.

I’m not familiar with Voltron, but my older brother was, and probably still is a fanatic. So I thought I would share it with you guys. Maybe it's just me but isn't this kind of like the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? Same premise right?

Random Pictures...

Check out the top Black Fashion Models on the cover of the new Ebony Magazine. Looking good girls..well except for the bald one. I never understood that, but thats a whole other issue in itself. This magazine is on newsstands today.

A Little Bit Of Sports...

I’m not trying to throw any stones here. But while everyone is breathing down Michael Vick's neck over alleged dog fighting charges. There seems to be another teammate who has some animal cruelty issues.

A reader just emailed me this disturbing news about Atlanta Falcon defensive lineman Jonathan Babineaux. Apparently after a fight with his girlfriend, Jonathan attacked her pitbull mix, issuing massive body blows to the dogs head and body with his bare hands. The dog, Kilo, died of massive head trauma. Jonathan was arrested and eventually charged with felony animal cruelty. Yet, he is still apart of the Falcon’s pre-season camp.

While Micheal Vicks fate has yet to be determined, one has to ask the question why is he being made the example based on allegations, yet Jonathan is allowed to still play, despite being arrested for killing his girlfriends pet.

I’m not saying, I’m just saying. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right? Full Story Here
