THURSDAY'S PIECE
HERE'S THE "WINNER"
David Cook Crowned the New American Idol
The votes totaled 97.5 million to pick the next Idol.
One David got 54 percent of the votes and one got 44 percent of them.
For those of you who DVR'd the show...I heard you got screwed! Did you notice that if you didn't adjust the regular recording time of the show that you saw: "And your new American Idol is David..." and then see a screen pop up with the "replay" or "erase" option? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Usher Split Rumors Not True
"It's 100% not true," Usher's manager Benny Medina tells Usmagazine.com.
"Usher and Tameka are currently traveling in Europe together as a family on his promotional tour," he continued. "This rumor is completely false."
The couple got married in August of 2007, and controversy surrounding their nuptials and Tameka's pregnancy sparked rumors that Usher's mother didn't approve of the union.
Usher and Tameka have one child together, Usher Raymond V, who was born on November 26, 2007.
Foster, a stylist who has worked with Lauryn Hill, Toni Braxton and Usher himself, is nine years Usher's senior. She was previously married to Ryan Glover, with whom she has two children.
Shania Twain's Secretary: I Didn't Break Up Her Marriage
Shania and her ex are still entangled in a bit of a bitter war after their split. Fingers are pointing to her secretary...how cliche! Either way, the woman in question has spoken out...
"But, when marriages break up they break up for all sorts of complicated reasons, it's never just one reason," she says. "And those reasons should be kept private. If you're looking for a person that broke up a marriage then you have the wrong person. I'm not that person," she added.
J.R. ROTEM CLAIMS: 'BRITNEY'S BACK'
J.R. Rotem, the same cat who was entangled in a pregnancy situation last years claims that Brit's back on her way to the top! Yeah Yeah....so is Tiffany...
"She's great. She's like a master at what she does. She's a lot more experienced than most people. She just has the 'it' factor that not every artist has.
"It's always nice to work with her."
Rotem briefly dated Spears last year and hit the headlines when he suggested the pop star might be pregnant in a stray text message.
A source close to Spears confirms the singer is working on the "experimental stages" of a new album - the follow-up to Blackout, which was released in October 2007.
TINA TURNER: "BEYONCE WILL NEVER BE ME"
“Diana Ross influenced her, I influenced her. What I like about her is that she knows what she is doing, she really did her homework and decided to stay elegant.
“She’s not rock ‘n’ roll - she’s totally elegant. Unless you’re rock ‘n’ roll from the heart you can’t mimic that. The stance, the movements, it has to come from the inside.”
Planners in Weissport, Pennsylvania, population just over 400, envision a redneck celebration drawing 10,000 people.
Harrisburg (WHP) - Redneck could soon be way of life for the folks in one small Pennsylvania town
Planners in Weissport, Pennsylvania, population just over 400, envision a redneck celebration drawing 10,000 people.
They say it would include lawn mower and toilet races. Women would compete in daisy duke cutoff shorts, and men would compete to be crowned "Mr. Redneck."
Organizer Tommy McEvilly says the festival is looking for sponsors, contestants and participants for all the events.
in hopes of aiding future treatments.
(UPI) - Experts from 10 countries, including Australia, the United States, Germany and Egypt, say they have defined life-long premature ejaculation.
Co-author Dr. Chris G McMahon of the University of Sydney says they developed the first-ever evidence-based definition of lifelong premature ejaculation in the hope it will aid future diagnosis, treatment and research.
The definition was developed after lengthy critical evaluation of the evidence presented in more than 100 studies on the sexual problem published over the last 65 years. It was unanimously agreed by the experts that the definition of lifelong premature ejaculation should be a combination of three key factors:
-- Ejaculation that always or nearly always occurs prior to or within about one minute of penetration.
-- The inability to delay ejaculation on all or nearly all penetrations.
-- Negative personal consequences such as distress, bother, frustration and/or the avoidance of sexual intimacy.
The study, conducted by the Standards Committee of the International Society for Sexual Medicine, is published online in the BJU International and The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
I really feel bad for you guy's that suffer from PE. It's really sad but at least you have a couple things going for you!
1. As stated previously on the show - another study finds that women like shorter sex.
2. I personally know a lot of chicks who have guys with this issue and a lot of chicks stay with them even though the sex is boo boo. I don't know...it may be a self esteem thing.

The world is filled with pimps and ho's...we'll just talk about those I know!
USHER...WHO IS SHE...DOES SHE HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE? LOL..
But in an interview with MTV News last week, Nas suggested that he was facing renewed pressure: "Everybody is trying to stop the title.... Record stores are gonna have a problem in this day and time selling a record with that title. Who knows what's gonna turn out and be on that title? Who knows what that title will be?" The politically-charged self-titled CD is due in stores July 1. For more of Nas' thoughts on his new music, check EW's summer music preview coverage in print on Friday.

erasing black GIs from history
The Oscar-nominated African-American director, one of the most influential figures in contemporary cinema, said that black soldiers were conspicuous by their absence from Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. Hundreds took part in the battle for the Japanese island in 1945.
Lee said: “There were many African-Americans who survived that war and who were upset at Clint for not having one [in the films]. That was his version: the negro soldier did not exist. I have a different version.”
Miracle at St Anna is an epic story about members of the all-black 92nd Buffalo Division, which fought the Germans in Italy.
While refraining from using the word “racist”, Lee said that rewriting Second World War history was typical of Hollywood. The Dirty Dozen was among the few films that showed the contribution made by African-American soldiers, he said. White heroes played by John Wayne and other Hollywood stars had until now overshadowed the sacrifice of brave heroes of colour who laid down their lives for their country, he added.
“Here’s the paradox,” he said. “These African-American men wanted to fight against fascism in the name of democracy. At the same time, they were still second-class citizens.” Although Lee emphasised his respect for Eastwood as a film-maker, he claimed that the director had been told of the African-Americans who fought at Iwo Jima, and had chosen to ignore that “information”.
He said: “It’s not like he could say he didn’t know. It was a conscious decision not to have any black people.” Half an hour later, Eastwood was at the other end of La Croisette, giving his own press conference for his latest film, L’Échange (formerly The Changeling), the story of a woman, played by Angelina Jolie, who brought down a corrupt police department in 1920s Los Angeles.
Asked twice by The Times to respond to Lee’s criticism, Eastwood stared out into the audience as the compere refused to accept a question that did not relate to L’Échange. Later, his spokeswoman also declined to comment.
Miracle at St Anna, set in 1944, tells the story of four black Americans who find themselves trapped behind enemy lines and separated from their unit after one of them risks his life to save an Italian boy.
The film is based on the 2002 book by the bestselling African-American novelist James McBride. The village in the title, Sant’Anna di Stazzema, was the site of a massacre by SS troops who rounded up and slaughtered 560 civilians.
Lee’s film reflects the pain felt by the segregated black soldiers. One says in the film: “I love Italians. I ain’t a zzzzzz here. I’m just me.” Lee added: “At the beginning of the war, black soldiers did not fight. They cooked, cleaned and drove trucks. That was all they were allowed to do. There was a theory that the black soldiers would run. That was proven false.” Miracle at St Anna was a testament to brave men who fought for the country they loved.
Wearing a T-shirt promoting Barack Obama, he also spoke of the significance of the United States having a black American president one day. His great-grandmother was born a slave and would never have believed it.
I mean...i guess I get the point but c'mon big homie...it's been years since that flick came out...chill out...the statute of limitation on bitchin' about this shit passed about a week ago!
Post a Comment View All 107 Comments Americans have a drinking problem, and not the type you might think. After posting a blog a few weeks ago called "Belt-Busting Beverages," we received hundreds of comments from the Yahoo community claiming they had no idea the stuff they drink could be so hazardous to their waistlines.
Here’s a typical refrain voiced by one disturbed drinker: "I know a lot of people that are battling with their weight, and they tell me all the time, 'I don't eat that much, and I still can't lose weight.' "
Whether you are a desperate dieter or just someone looking to drop another few pounds in time for beach season, here’s a tough stat to swallow: According to the FDA, the average American takes in 82 grams of added sugars every day. That’s 20 teaspoons, which contribute an empty 317 calories to our already calorie-saturated diets.
Sure, some of that comes from soda, but even if you've traded regular Coke for diet, whole milk coffee drinks for low-fat lattes, and you barely touch the booze, you could still be taking in 20 percent or more of your calories from beverages. Add a few of those other indulgences in — or consume one of the liquid disasters listed here — and you can suddenly be sucking in a few days' worth of calories through a straw!
(You read that last sentence right.)
To give you a better idea of the drinks most responsible for sabotaging your health, fitness, and weight-loss goals, we created a list of America’s Unhealthiest Drinks. Read up, then sip responsibly.
Worst "Healthy" Drink
Glaceau VitaminWater (any flavor; 20 oz bottle)
130 calories
33 grams sugar
Vitamins and water might sound like the ultimate nutritional tag team, but what the label doesn’t say is that a bottle of this stuff carries nearly as much sugar and calories as a can of Coke. Makes sense, though, since this so-called functional beverage is produced by our often-sugar-crazy friends at The Coca-Cola Company.
Worst Juice Imposter
Arizona Kiwi Strawberry (23.5 oz can)
360 calories
84 g of sugar
These hulking calorie cannons (5 percent juice, 95 percent sugar water) are sold at gas stations and convenience stores across America for the low, low price of 99 cents, making this quite possibly the cheapest source of empty calories in the country.
Worst Smoothie
Jamba Juice Peanut Butter Moo’d Power Smoothie (30 oz)
1,170 calories
169 g sugars
30 g fat
Jamba Juice calls it a smoothie; we call it a milkshake, with more sugar than an entire bag of chocolate chips. (Note: We're pretty sure this is the drink Hollywood actors rely on when looking to put on 20 pounds for the role as a heavy!)
Worst Summer Cocktail
Pina Colada
625 calories
75 g sugars
Made from a blend of sickly-sweet pineapple juice and fat-riddled coconut milk, pina coladas may be this summer's biggest beach-body saboteurs. In fact, the only redeeming part of this drink is the garnish — that lonely chunk of pineapple hanging from the rim. Try a lime daiquiri or a mojito instead and save up to 400 calories a drink.
The Unhealthiest Drink in America
Baskin Robbin’s Large Heath Bar Shake (32 oz)
2,310 calories
266 g sugar
108 g fat (64 g saturated)
Let's look at America's Worst Drink in numbers:
73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.
8-12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you’d need to spend on a treadmill burning it off, running at a moderate pace.

MONDAY MUFFALETTA
before I go too deep into today's offering...a big WTF goes out to Usher...I mean this is a guy who I thought I would never clown. Based on the amount of times I either fell in love or thought I was, there was always an Usher song to make things seem alright. I guess you can say that I was truly a benevolent follower of the guy I mean "I celebrate his entire catalog!" I know, I know - reader: Dre, STFU and get to the point. Gentle reader, if you missed this weekend's atrocity on SNL here :
If you didn't know, I can't stand a bully...and Suge Knight is really not on my list of favorite Mufu..as because he destroyed the greatest label ever formed, he jacked Dre, Pac, and a bunch of others out of loot and he knows who killed my man but won't be a "snitch." So after hearing the rumor, and reading the posts and tabloids, I bring you....SUGE LAID OUT!!
