QUEEN LATIFAH IN SERIOUS WRECK?

According to the National Inquirer Dana Owens was vacationing in the Virgin Islands when the incident occurred. Details are sketchy, but what is known is that Queen Latifah was on a rented scooter when she lost control of the vehicle and 'went flying'.

A source tells the tabloid, "She's lucky she wasn't killed. Fortunately, there weren't any cars or other scooters behind her when the accident occurred."

The source also added: "Luckily, she didn't break any bones. But she was suffering and was prescribed painkillers."

Rihanna Refuses To Pose Nude

"My mother would kill me if I posed nude!" she said.

R&B star Rihanna has vowed never to pose for a naked photoshoot - because her mother would "kill" her.

Although the singer has proved she isn't shy about shedding her clothes in the name of work - she appeared wearing just gold body paint for her 2007 "Umbrella" video - she refuses to strip off for a magazine.

She tells MTV.co.uk, "My mother would kill me if I posed nude!

"When I did that metallic body paint stuff for my Umbrella video, I didn't do it to show my body. I didn't do it for people to like me. I did it because it was a cool visual, unexpected, and it looked hot.

"I have done a lot of photoshoots for magazines but it's always great to be shot for a cover because you know that you are looked at as a fashion icon."

Bobby Brown's Son nails Lindsey Lohan
in a private party bathroom!

Or so he says...and she ain't denied it! Read on....
Thanks UK tabloid The Sun!Bobby Brown’s so Brandon is claiming that he got intimate with the actress in a toilet. Apparently Lindsay – who most recently has been seen cosying up to female DJ Samantha Ronson – couldn’t resist the reality TV star’s charms. He boasts:“Me and Lindsay got really, really close. She followed me to the bathroom during a private party, and, well, we basically got together. I think she knew who I was when she first saw me. We were just staring at each other and she walked by. I walked into the bathroom and she followed me in.” (Source)

With her attached to Samantha Ronson’s hip 24/7 nowadays, sometimes we forget just how c*ckhungry Lindsay Lohan can be. This dude basically seduced her with eye contact. Not a “hi,” not a “hello,” eye contact. If hooking up with random dudes in bathrooms was an Olympic event, Lindsay Lohan would have 900 gold medals. She’s the United States, Paris Hilton is Russia, and every other chick in L.A. is Burundi." Celebslam.com"

Meanwhile there are at least two guys who claim to have done the deed in separate bathroom incidents years ago with another notorious party girl. Nicole Richie, whose much calmer lifestyle seems more permanent than Lindsay’s, had both Busta Rhymes and Jason Mewes of “Jay and Silent Bob” bragging about their quickies with the skinny socialite in bathrooms. You wonder which other random guys these two had in drunken bathroom sessions. There are undoubtedly more than just the few we’ve heard about." Celebbitchy.com

JANET'S DISCIPLINE PROJECT DROPPED

Janet Jackson's label, Def Jam, has reportedly bailed on the pop icon's latest release Discipline. Execs ad the label have ceased promoting album and there are no more single releases planned. The CD produced just one lukewarm his with the single "Feedback.""We started off with Feedback and the label and myself haven't quite seen eye to eye since the Feedback single so they've kind of basically stopped all promotion," Jackson wrote in an email to a media outlet."I'm trying to figure out a way to say this, but just to say it and to be quite honest, they just stopped all promotion whatsoever on the album, so I don't think you're going to hear another single off this album."Janet has had no luck with her recent releases: Damita Jo and 20 Y.O., both of which were considered flops. By contrast, at her peak, Jackson scored 19 hit singles from just three albums. She still holds the record for successive #1 hits in the U.S.

THURSDAY: BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE SAC OF LIFE

IS YOUTUBE AND MYSPACE THE ANTICHRIST?

Not that I'm one to voice my opinion but so many of these poor, uneducated, dial up having, no tv-watching, bt'in, no responsibility taken ass parents should slap themselves...most need to take it a step further and go down and visit their local neighborhood pimp and allow them the honor to smack em with the baby powder. STFU!!! myspace doesn't make people do things, individuals make their own decisions. If someone's weak enough to let one of these mediums affect them on a negative level then (if they are a minor) need to be divested of that medium in question. The idea that outside, intangible, forces control a person's is ridiculous! British philosopher Bertrand Russell once said “There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths.” That's all I have to say about that!

NOTE TO SELF: WOMEN LIKE SHORTER SEX?

Premature ejaculators of the world, take heart. Scientific research is now on your side.

According to a new study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the best sex should last between seven and 13 minutes. The report, which surveyed a random sample of Americans and Canadians, also found that most people considered sex lasting three to seven minutes "adequate," and most thought sex for over 13 minutes was "too long."

Other recent studies show that while most people in the United States expect sex to last between 15 and 20 minutes, it is generally over in about half that time.

Interestingly, in response to the survey, Australian sex therapist Jane Howard noted that women are generally happy with a quick hit, while men tend not to be.

"There is a major gender difference in this area," Dr Howard is quoted as saying. "Usually women are quite happy with short intercourse, and are not bothered about prolonging it at all, but nearly all men want it to be much, much longer."


This is the kind of thing that could ruin a man...I mean we (a lot of us) work so hard to be able to have our minds right and now the pimply faced loser with the dirty khakis that would show signs of semen spots under the black light that is watching anime becomes victorious! This is so ass backwards...I'm gonna switch it up and start faking orgasms...why? so I can go home and have as much sex with myself as I want for as long as I want. Or better yet have someone do it for me perhaps.

MIMI AND CANNON LAMPOONED ON CNN!
(AS WELL THEY SHOULD)

I mean what do they expect? The last time was saw Mariah do something this outrageous was back when she delivered Popsicles to TRL on her way to the asylum!

CHRISTINA MILIAN IS A JEALOUS BROAD WHO CAN'T HOLD A RECORD DEAL AND NEEDS TO DROP AND ALBUM WITH THAT OTHER IRRELEVANT CHICK ASHANTI!

I really am concerned about how sad sumadeezmufukasget about being outshined...Xtina Milian decided to attempt to give Mariah a good look on what's possibly in store for her future with dick cannon...
“All the time we were together, I heard nothing. No rumors, no gossip, and then all of a sudden I’m in Romania and I start hearing stuff. I did something no woman should do, but sometimes you’re entitled to … and I think a lot of women do it. [He cheated] the whole time with different girls, not just one, but different girls. He said to me that these girls helped his ego and made him look good.”
...(yawn) smh...She needs to STFU and finish filming and recording the soundtrack to Be Cool 2

On second thought...ayo...Riske (Chris) reminded me how much hotter Xtina is than Mariah...Amen Hallelujah all praise be! I take back everything that I said previously about the beautiful creation!

"I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE!!!!"

THE 100 MILLION DOLLAR MAN...

Take that, Batman, Superman and just about every other kind of costume-wearing man.

Iron Man grossed $100.8 million, per studio estimates compiled Sunday by Exhibitor Relations Co., a number that makes the Robert Downey Jr. film second only to Spider-Man for comic book movie debuts.

The estimate does not include the movie's Thursday night sneaks. If it did, it'd be $3.5 million higher.

The estimate also doesn't include overseas ticket sales. If it did, it'd be nearly $100 million higher.

In all, by the close of business tonight, Iron Man is predicted to have taken in $104.3 million domestically and $201 million worldwide, or more than the entire global runs of Daredevil and Catwoman. Give it a few days or so, and it'll move past Batman & Robin and Ghost Rider on the all-time comic book movie list, as compiled by Box Office Mojo.

MILEY CYRUS RESURFACES

@...DISNEY WORLD!

So Miley found herself doing a pre-planned show at Disney World over the weekend where she told her fans "I can't think of how many would stand in the rain to come in here. Thank you all for coming out tonight, you're all amazing." All of this stemming from the fallout of her Vanity Fair pics from last week.

Since those pics have circulated things have been real shady for Miley....there's been scrutiny from parents, press, haters, midgets, pimps, hoes, theifs, and of course, Disney. They (Disney) is rumored to be lookin for a more clean cut replacement for Cyrus.

I'm not convinced that Disney's lookin' to pull the plug over the pics. It's gotta have a lot to do with the fact that they do own the "Hannah Montana" name but not "Miley Cyrus." Since coming out to the public last year stating that she wanted to go by her legal name, the two names have become synonymous. She's become too much of a franchise for her own good, deeming to be a liability to Disney---to the point where she could single handedly hurt the (good?) Disney name.

RIHANNA'S TIRE OF FOLKS TALKIN'

ABOUT HER AND HOVA

Basically, it's gotta be said again, Rihanna and Hov don't have anything goin on. I mean this fool just got married to what was the hottest chick in the game. I'm still not sure why he did that, but it's the fact of the matter. I'm really not even a Beyonce fan anymore and think that it would be better for Hov to be down with a chick like Rihanna but...he's just too old. When asked about it, here's what she said:

“Well, it’s crazy that you ask me that. People know that it’s not true. I think it’s kinda a cliché question, and people know it’s not true, so I don’t even know why it’s still addressed to this day. I get asked about it all the time and I’m like, You’re asking, but you know the answer. I don’t even like to address it anymore.”

So there. She's doin alright since she's (allegedly) dating Chris Brown...Speaking of which...

USHER'S SAYING THAT CHRIS BROWN

IS GONNA BE THE NEXT HIM?

Usher's a cocky ass cat. I mean he has every right to be because he's that guy, but now he's tryna reach out and keep himself relevant by saying that Chris Breezy's got next as far as attaining the same success as him.

I don't know about that...Usher didn't come out the gate the same way brown did...I mean it took Usher like 2 albums...and back then he even worked with Puff, Andre Harell (during the New Jack Swing Era,) and others but still couldn't score a hit. It was only when he hooked up with prepubescent hit maker Jermaine "Y'all Know What This Is" Dupri, that Ursher had his break with "You Make Me Wanna" and "My Way."
All that being said - Chris Brown does have the upper hand on Usher. and CB didn't get his ass whooped by Dallas Austin like Ush...which is still laughable!

I may be talkin' a lot of shit about Ush but the guys good. I'm still lookin forward to the new album.

It's a cot damn shame. It's for real they're married. I can't describe how upset I am by this devastating news...the tragedy, the horror, pain. You know what I don't even want to report on this...I'll just get my Gary Dourdan on and leak the letter I sent to Mariah:

Dear Mariah,
I know that you're trying to stay young and relevant, but you went with the wrong guy. Why marry a guy who's professional peak was a song called gigalo...I mean I don't know anyone that remembers any part of the song other than R. Kelly's hook. He's a bum! Wildin' Out? Are you serious? This clown is a walking lampoon and you picked him to be with? Over me? Shadyville DJ extraordinaire? The sexiest Night Guy at the 100,00 watt Power 105.7 in Fayetteville Arkansas for that clown. I am hurt and disappointed by your actions and I will never forgive you. I hope that you've made yourself proud and know that you're going to regret your decision and you will die alone.

Thanks for nothing,

Dre "You're not gonna ever touch my body again" Boogs!

AVRIL CAN'T SING!

Avril's still going on with her lackluster "The Best Damn Thing" tour...well after she gets better from having acute laryngitis. She's had to cancel several tour dates. But so far, I'm hearing that the show sucks. Not from the core fans who have probably never see a decent show in their lives...but normal music heads who feel the same way that I do. She's a damn fool.

She's played out. plain and simple. She was cool when she came out into the mainstream in '02 but then proved to be just another self indulged fake ass bad girl...PARIS HILTON MEETS THAT CHICK FROM THE CRANBERRIES.
