*Not So Blind Item* Famous R&B Singer Terminates Pregnancy?

Rumors and blind items swirl with a famous R&B singer was pregnant. Well, her famous rapper boyfriend told her that he's not ready for anymore children and convinced her to end the pregnancy. And little mama is such a wreck since deciding to terminate the pregnancy she is closed up in her home with her family, speaking to no one at all, even her publisist.

*Quick Hint: Singer is known for her dancing and it is NOT Beyonce.*

Although I hate that things like this are public, it is what we do. I wish whomever she is a speedy recovery, and hope that she has all the emotional support she needs to make it through this very emotional time.

Diddy Needs an Assistant....Again

Rumors on the light side today...Enjoy this video and just "Leme alone!" Lmao...I kid...I kid..

Uncle Murda Shot!

Roc-A-Fella rapper Uncle Murda was shot in the head yesterday in New York as he stood with a friend outside a parked car. Although rumors have swirled about the shooting being a result of Uncle Murda's disputes with other industry rappers. Uncle Murda spoke with AllHipHop and squashed those rumors claiming it wasn't entertainment beef. "This was street shit" Murda claimed.

He claims to not have even known he was hit. A member of his crew saw that his face was bleeding and took him to the hosiptal, according to Uncle Murda. Then he comically added, "They said I still have the bullet in my head and if I'm sexually active, it will fall out." He claims to be caring for the wounds himself at home.

Uncle Murder claims to not be focused on beef with Papoose but instead is focused on his upcoming album.

Suge Named in Gang Injunction

City officials in LA have asked a judge to ban members of the Mob Piru street gang from congregating in a Compton neighborhood. And asked that Marion "Suge" Knight be included in that order, since the Death Row co-founder was one of the 200 people the officials said were members of the Mob Piru. The injunction order would ban them from congregating, carrying guns, drinking alcohol in public, or being out past 10pm.

Suge calls the injunction "a publicity stunt." He told the LA Times "This is crazy! I'm a 42 year old businessman, not a gang member. I don't even live in Compton!"

Foxy Grinding Out

Foxy Brown has been staying busy while doing her year long bid. Word is the "Ill Na Na" is working on doing a documentary and could possibly have a feature film in the works. She tried to have her bid filmed, but prison officials weren't having that. Foxy's album, Brooklyn's Don Diva is due out in May and the possible movie is slated for 2009.

Ghostface is Pissed!

Ghostface is fed up with fans downloading their music instead of buying it. He says that he shows his love and dedication to them and the art and his fans aren't showing their love according to the sound scan numbers for 8 Diagrams. If you go out and purchase the album, Ghost offers to sit and chop it up with you. Any takers?

Alittle Eye Candy....

After 2 failed attempts at love, VH1 has agreed to give Flavor Flav another show to see what women of the world have to offer him. Flavor of Love 3 will debut on Monday February 11th at 9/8 central.

I'm mad how these women flock to degrade themselves for a rapping California Raisin! *smh* That fool looks like shit in a suit, but ya gotta love hip hops most famous hype man,

Busta Cops a Plea

While the jakes had Weezy hemmed up, Busta was in court where he faced trials on 2 counts of assault, 2 DUIs, and a charge of driving with a suspended license. Well, looks like Busta Buss could possibly walk with 3 years probation, a fine and community service. Woo hah bitches!

Lil Wayne Arrested For Drug Possession

Lil Wayne was arrested early today after his charter bus was stopped at the California-Arizona border checkpoint. Cops found cocaine, marijuana, and ecstasy, along with drug paraphernalia. He was released from a Yuma County Jail on a $10,185 bond. When will these rappers learn? Act like you don't know these hip hop cops are on a mission.

Actor Heath Ledger Dead at 28..

I know I am hella late, forgive the technical difficulties, but actor Heath Ledger, known for his part in "10 Things I hate about you" and "Brokeback Mountain," passed away yesterday. He was found dead by his housekeeper and massage therapist naked and face down in his bed in his Brooklyn apartment.

According to the AP, 6 different types of prescription drugs were found in Ledger's apartment, although a preliminary autopsy was inconclusive as to the cause of death. It was widely rumored that his life took a downward turn after he and his wife split at which point he began using drugs. He leaves behind a 2 year old daughter that he cherished. R.I.P. Heath!

Nas Deal With Def Jam in Jeopardy?

Nas has to know his new album was going to generate controversy. I doubt if he considered not changing his albums name possibly costing him his deal. With Def Jam worried about being able to move units and many retailers already refusing to carry the album because of its title, N*gger, and Nas refusing to change the title, word is executives aren't feeling his belligerence. He has until the end of the week to make a decision on changing the title of the album or potentially be dropped from Def Jam.

Diddy's New Name

From Puffy Daddy, to Puffy, Puff, P. Diddy, Diddy, so on and so forth. Wassaname is changing his monecre again. This time, he wants to be known by his birth name, Sean Jean. Now if we can only get something hot outta Bad Boy from one of those bands he keeps making, we would have a reason for this to be relevant. BTW, Making the Band :Take One Zillion One is set to air next month.

Soujah Boy #1?

See....These damn crabs are getting too big for their drawls. Soujah Boy has been quoted as saying he is THE hottest emcee in the game right now. Huh? Makes no sense right?! Well, to his defense, he does has the highest selling digital ringtone in history. Legendary freestyle or battle? Nah.. He says he's that nicca because 'Crank Dat' got this chile nominated for a Grammy.

“I think if y’all did it right now, yeah, I deserve to be on there. But back there, when y’all did it, I probably didn’t have the status that I have right now. I’m Grammy-nominated. If I look at the new list and I compare myself to all 10 of the artists and some don’t add up, I’ll be like, ‘Wow. I should be #1 if it’s right now. I’m #1.”

Soulja Boy was even asked how he ranks specifically against alumni of the first Hottest MCs list, like Lil Wayne, Kanye and Jay-Z.

“Right now, yes [I’m hotter than them]. Today, January — whatever the date this is — 2008, yes [I am the hottest].”

Somebody wake this chile up from his damn dream. He's snoring loudly and starting to drool.

Neyo May Sue Beyonce

Ya boy Neyo is on a roll right now! His recent misunderstanding with R. Kelly ended with Neyo suing the pissing R&B legend because Kells couldn't stomach the fact the young whippersnapper was getting more shine than him. Well, looks like Neyo has his sights set on Beyonce now.

Neyo is the writer of Beyonces' hit Irreplaceable, a track that Beyonce publicly claimed she wrote, and later credited Neyo after he cold busted her ass on it. Well now the Dangerously in Love Diana False, is refusing to uphold an agreement between the two artists, which gave Beyonce the song, and required her to appear on Neyo's upcoming album in a duet.

Word is, Neyo has consulted an attorney regarding the matter and is gonna make that bird open her beak or her Balenciaga bag. Get that money, nukka!

Video: Dr. Martin Juther Kings Last Speech

Today is the day we celebrate Dr. King's birth, life, and legacy. His fight and so many others paved the way for black people to live in this country without the fear of harrassment and violence. His dream of equal rights for black people was made a reality before he left us, though 40 years later, he is still an influence in major events today. Dr. King was an advocate for those downtrodden and scared to speak out. He was courageous and gave his life for the cause; so that you and I can love each other unconditionally, and judge each other "not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character."
R.I.P. Dr. King. We love you!!

Video: 50 Cent announces expansion of his Production Company

Curtis isn't relying on that Vitamin Water cash to keep him raining on hoes. And since no noise has been coming out of G Unit records, looks like Mr. Jackson is exploring his options. Though his other projects were dissapointing at best, this is a good look for Fararri F-50.

Remy Responds....New Remy Diss!

Remy is keeping the pace with this beef with Lil Kim. I told ya'll that this was going to be the best femcee battle in history yet. Now though Remy is a lyrical beast, she didn't go hard against Kim in this diss. But she was dropping names heavy, so no question with this one. She got it personal with the theme of the track, using Lauryn Hill's "That Thing" as an instrumental. If you remember Lil Kim's The G.O.A.T. paid homage to the old school femcees and Lauryn Hill's "Lost One" was on it. Its going to be a warm winter with all this fiya! Keep it on wax ladies! Rem, I'm watchin you!

Eve Gets It Poppin!

Now I know she was hoping these paparazzi photos(smile) never hit the net. Well, sort of razzi in nature. Everyone knows the lady pitbull in a skirt was a stripper before she picked up the mic(no pun intended) but the pictures have been rare with an exception to that nasty tape a few years ago. Well here are the latest glamour shots of Eve, in some positions that are very questionable. Where's Adam, g*ddammit? Oh well, can't knock the hustle...Publisists, ready, set, go..........!

Thanks Thisis50!

Some have said President Bush has sold our country into modern day slavery. Challenge what you know regarding the state of our world today, your community, your very life. How could/would these policies affect your daily life? The bible foretold of things like this to come, and for years we have heard that saying "These are the last days..." but I challenge you to carefully review the subject matter and weigh the evidence and the scenarios. And tell me....what would you do?

I have to admit my outlook on alot of situations has been changed after watching and researching some of the information in these videos. Please, wake up people. This is our future.

Video: RIAA Trouble

Are they really friend or foe? This happened a while ago, but going with the theme today, I figured it plays into the bigger picture. These djs and the mixtapes that they sell help to garner promotion for any unknown talents that we probably wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise. They should be respected for their craft, the importance of the dj has fallen in the hip hop community, but is a necessary element to the continuing of spreading of our genre on a large scale. Not to mention the parties they rock in the 'jects. These fools better rec!

Eddie Murohy Sham

This Queen is bugging out. From jump, Eddie has been alittle howyoudoin?! But then this undercover brother gets his "T" exposed when he's caught with a trannie, marries a woman with manly features, and marries and divorces all in the same month. But then again it wasn't a marriage it was a "union."

Aparently, the newlyweds have been squabbling since the honeymoon and have decided to call it quits. Just a guess, but I think Tracey was tired of the whole "bootie borthers" theme as a man, and didn't want to be an arm piece anymore. Once she peeped Eddies' setup and his "Histress" Johnny Gill with his own wing in the house, she determined she wanted to be the only queen in here castle.

And chile, I don't blame ya. This is a steaming mess that I am just going to *smh* and walk away from.

Practical Guide to Racism

Professor C.H. Dalton, alter ego of writer Sam Means of The Daily Show on comedy central, has decided to write a book on the Practical Guide to Racism. Along with the book, Dalton has made a collection of instructional videos where he comically expresses his points. Topics include Dalton's concept of race, Jews in the media, stereotypes in video games, and how stereotypes can be useful.

Whether people want to believe it or not, the sad fact is that racism still exists today. Yes, even in a civilized country such as American, we have not advanced past the point of judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin(Dr. ML King). I can hardly take offense to the videos, with the comedic twist, he's no more than giving his "Chapelle." And you have to respect his hustle, the writer's strike has these people at home with nothing better to do.

Souljah Boy on CNN?!

With the highest selling digital song in history, Souljah Boys' hit "Crank dat Souljah Boy," 3 million ringtones sold and 28 million hits on youtube, haters can hate, but this lil boy has done the damn thing! In the infamous words of T.I., "You can hate if you want to, but you're wasting your time!"

Chingy Denies Sex Tape With Ciara

Chingy denies that he or anyone in his camp is involved with the peddling of a sex tape allegedly featuring Ciara. Chingy claims he has too much respect for the women that he knows in the industry to do anything like that. Kudos Ching-a-ling!

He goes on to say fuck Charlamange from the Wendy Williams show for his comments when Chingy was on the show. Ooooooh, chile!

Marion Jones Sentenced To Six Months

Famed Olympian Marion Jones has been sentenced six months despite her pleas for no prison time.

Marion Jones Sentenced to 6 Months!

Marion Jones, the disgraced Olympian who was accused of using performance enhancement drugs was sentenced to 6 months in jail today for lying to investigators in November 2003 regarding her usage, and a check cashing fraud that she was connect to.

Although she had pleaded with the judge for leniency and not to be separated from her sons, the judge handed down his sentence saying that he was giving her the 6 months, the maximum allowed under her plea deal, "because of the need for general deterrence and the need to promote respect for the law."

This is sad, although she deserved to be punished, I don't think the 6 months prison bid was necessary now, gawsh. She did give up a couple medals, has to deal with the humiliation of being a cheater, and involved in some thievery. But if Marsha and Paris had to hit the bricks, then it was a wrap for her black ass from the jump. Lay it down for a bit Marion, I hope those 'roids help you fight off those boxes in the bing. *smh*

Remy Ma "When I See Her"

Now I have to say this is an upgrade. I was really expecting a direct attack with this track, but Remy shows her diversity with her wordplay and metaphores in this one, and its still a hot diss track. I'm going to say one of THE hottest diss tracks put out in a beef between two femcees. "At the end of the day..." Although I was expecting the usual, "I'm dead nice" from Rem, she laid down a massacre on the Queen Bee. I can't wait for the responce...Shouts to AHH!

Possible Voter Fraud In Already? *Rumored*

Anyone who pays attention to the political atmosphere at this time would know that things are very heated between both parties, in an all out race for the Presidential bid from their respective parties this year. With Barack Obama having an enchanting grasp over the younger voters, who definately identify with his call for change and his message of restoring peace, unity, and moral standards in America.

After Obama won the Iowa caucus, Hillary Clinton came out with all her stops, at points showing her feminine, humanly compassionate side, even crying on television and then at other times bashing Obama and his ideals. Some of which is to be expected in this type of race. But with the candidates going into the New Hampshire primaries yesterday, all polls and parties, save one, showed that Obama would hold his lead over Clinton, expected to be double digits, and win the New Hampshire primary as well. Even Clintons camp reportedly said that if they could just get to a single digit lose for Hillary instead of double digits as was being reported by the polls, then it would be a mental win for Hillary. Is she truly the comeback kid?

Not only did Clinton maintain a steady lead on Obama, ranging between 3,000 and 5,000 votes, she snatched what had all but been a certain win for Obama. Or did she?

The speculation surrounds the infamous Diebold voting machines, the same machines that many have said spurred the infamous recount in Florida, spawning interest when current President Bush was accused of voters fraud and an actual documentary showed how the machines were in fact defective or information could be manipulated.

As in everything, there are conspirators and judging from this information, I can't say that I doubt it. Though we should hope that none of our candidates would stoop so low as to cheat or buy a presidency, we do know it has been tried and done before. Again this information is 3rd partied and Oh Hell Naw hold no liability for its uses or damage as a result of it being posted. Thank our forefathers for freedom of speech.

TMZ recently reported that rapper Eminem was hospitalized last weekend in a Detroit hospital due to complications from pneumonia where he was under a doctors care. Apparently his publicist has confirmed these reports adding that he is has since been released and is back at home recuperating. Hope he can shake that cold and write some heat for the summer.

ANTM Saleisha Does Seventeen

Recent winner of Tyra Banks show America's Next Top Model cycle 9, Saleisha looked fabulous rocking her "Tootie" wig, looking like a Ciara's twin.

Although the win was a very good look for the 19 year old, alot of viewers and some constestants have felt betrayed a think Ms. Banks has some 'splaining to do. See the rules of ANTM state that a would be participant couldn't have been involved in any prior modeling with a national campaign withing the the last 5 years , and Ms. Saleisha had been booked for and appeared in some professional gigs and commercials including a commercial for Wendy's.

So some have claimed that Tyra Banks rigged America's Next Top Model, because videos surfaced of Saleisha on Tyra's daytime talk show as a model proving Tyra was aware of her experience.

Either way, she's a beautiful black young women and clearly she is busting her ass to secure these gigs, so I say, Wurk It! Although she could lose the wig, she is definitely a grinder and you have to respect that. Hater's don't whine, take notes!

XXL Editor In Chief Elliot Wilson Fired!

Editor in chief of XXL magazine, Elliot Wilson, was given his walking papers today with no official reason offered at this time.

I Love New York Reunion Recap

Sorry luvs, ya gurl has had some things going on today. But you know I had to watch and give my two cents on that hour and a half of buffoonery. Though I could go on all night about the tacky wardrobe of some of the fellas, "It" making a total ass of himself, as usual, trying to break bricks, to "Punk" and "Buddahs" bitching about New York not being "real."


Shit...Those jackasses knew that colt was fake from jump. I mean from hair, eyes, eye lashes, titties, ass...What IS real about this chick besides being real played and real nasty?


Any who, the classic moment in the show for me was when New Yorks mother, Sister Patterson, introduced New York and the rest of America to her new man, I Love New York Season 2 Reject, Champion by slobbering him down, stuffing all 157 teeth of hers in his mouth and covering him in her wretched red lipstick. And that ape Sister P was grinning like a Chester cat. Yuck..Just disgusting...I really got the willies watching that, forget throwing up alittle, I nearly chucked my whole dinner with this madness.

Save the wrinkles in his head making me sea sick, the brotha was definitely not half bad in the looks department, so what gives? Sister P got that snapper? That whip appeal? These cougars are going WILD right now! Young ladies, watch your back, and your man.

Moving right along, nothing else of substance happened, the "Entertainer" showed how pathetic he was by bragging that and even showing everyone a day in his life, living with his parents. At 29, what a damn bum. After Tailor Made came to the stage, he was confronted by "Mr. Wise" about him spitting in his face, to which Tailor Made made the assertion he would do it again. Pulling a punk ass sneak leap, Wise jumped on/overtop of Tailor Made in an attempt to get his "one." It didn't work, he was escorted out.

Once New York joined Tailor Made on the stage, the love between the two appeared to be genuine. She has her wifee. He has his man. After presenting her with a gift box which held his finalized divorce papers, Tailor Made again asked New York to marry him. She gladly accepted. They claim to have been living together since the show ended its taping. E'erybody needs love.

Jay Z and Beyonce Married?

Now, we've heard this rumor a million and a half times before but here is your latest Beyonce and Jay Z crack. Some media sources have reported that hip hop's elite couple got married on a recent trip to Paris, France. The nuptials reportedly took place at the home of Giorgio Armani in a very intimate ceremony, attended by family and close friends last month. Though reps for both have denied these reports, it makes perfect sense to me being that his they were there to celebrate his birthday, December 4th. Looks like she finally snagged him. You go gal!

Though I am truly hurt my man is off the market, congrats to both.

*STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER*

Ok, so since on of my sister blogs had my favorite saying for folks who just can't seem to get it together. Since I'm a writer and not a biter,*smile*, we'll name this segment, "STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER." Everyone has been to chuuch, at least I hope so, even if it is only to show off your new Easter suit. But being a southern girl raised in the chuuch, we know what it is to pray and how prayer changes things. You have had situations where, you feel like you can't really tell the pastor what's going on, but when you get in that line, and they put that oil on your forehead, and get to bendin on ya,(ya'll know!), even if the situation itself hasn't changed, your outlook on things has. Many people have been saved from a good cussin out or tail beating from hands being laid chile. So these folks we will just say are standing in the need of prayer, need hands layed on them. Either in the spiritual sense or the physical, somebody needs to help them. So without further ado, the first mess to make the list is.....


Cincinnati Bengals Running back, Kenny Irons! All I can say is, "You betta work!" Sporting a blue "Rocket Pops" tee shirt and black spandex boy shorts, matching black socks and hat and his freshest Wonder Woman pose, one could speculate Irons is ready for balls on and off the field. As Sister Patterson said, "He's got some green mossy stuff going on between his legs."

Obama Wins Democratic Iowa Caucus!

Chicago Senator and Presidential hopeful Barack Obama beat fellow Democratic front runners Hillary Clinton and John Edwards in the highly anticipated Iowa Caucus last night. With a 38% of the voters agreeing with Obama's demand for change and unity in America, I hope and strongly believe that America is finally going to see an African American in the White House, none more fitting than Mr. Obama. (photo courtesy of CL)

At his rally for caucus attendees after his first place finish, he spoke eloquently and with great poise stressing that he planned to restore moral standing in America, bring our troops home from Iraq, and promised not to use situations such as 9/11 to scare up votes, rather our country should use those situations that challenge us should unite America and the world against common threats in the 21st century.

He went on to say "Hope is the bedrock of this nation, the belief that our destiny will not be written for us but by us, by all those men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, but who have the courage to remake the world as it should be. That is what we started here in Iowa and that is the message we can now carry to New Hampshire and beyond."

He also thanked his beautiful wife, Michelle, for being the love of his life, and his daughters Sasha and Malia.

From some of the polls, it seems that Obama's popularity amongst younger voters and caucus goers could have been what propelled him into first place position.

When I said this drama between Raz B, Ricky Romance, and Chris Stokes was going to heat up, I really had no idea it would get this outrageous. The group was spotted with Chris Stokes at Mr. Chow's restaurant in Los Angeles. (see link for video courtesy of TMZ)

Now, what I find funny is Jerome "Young Rome/Romeo" Jones, from the group Immature, trying to hide behing the damn rose man. Why the hell and how IN THE hell is this kid at Mr. Chows? When was his last record and why is he STILL going out and chilling with Chris Stokes? Regardless of what comes out of these cats mouth, which changes depending on the day of the week, I still thing ole Pokey Stokes is up to no good.

According to our friend Illseed at All Hip Hop, who got exclusive images from the sex tape, in the image, the woman is apparently giving "knowledge" or a "professional" to someone in the video. Iono, but I hope if she is the person in vid, I hope that fool didn't grab her head and expose the infamous "crack scalp." She ought to be shame! Tell me what you think. Viv or not?
