Does Racism Go Both Ways?
I guess Ricky Ross is feeling very full of himself after scoring the number 1 album on the charts this week because here he is talking hella sh*t in this video clip. He has said recently that he has grown "bored" feuding with 50 cent and might "go at" Eminem. He says that it's "black on black racial" to call 50 cent a monkey and proceeds to call Eminem a "honkey."
Asher Roth caused a Internet uproar for his twitter post last week, claiming that he was "hanging out with nappy headed hos."
Should Officer Ricky get called out for his slur as hard as Asher Roth had/has been?

Swine Flu Update: It's Reached Illinois
"Ninety-nine percent is a hard number to beat," Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Damon Arnold said at a news conference where Mayor Richard Daley, Gov. Pat Quinn and other officials stressed the state was working hard to prevent more people from getting sick.
A swine flu outbreak is spreading across the country and the world, where it is suspected of killing more than 150 people in Mexico. The first U.S. death was confirmed Wednesday when a 23-month-old child died in Texas.
All of Illinois' probable cases are in Chicago and its suburbs, with five in Chicago, two in Kane County and single cases in both Lake and DuPage counties. The youngest person sickened is age 6.
In an effort to try to stop the virus from spreading, three schools in Chicago and the suburbs that each had likely cases of swine flu closed.
Chicago officials shut down a North Side elementary school on Wednesday and a Kane County middle and high school closed down for the rest of the week.
The Chicago school was shuttered for at least two days and the district monitored attendance at all its other schools.
Chicago officials also have asked students at Joyce Kilmer Elementary School not to take part in citywide school activities for a short period of time because a 12-year-old girl there has a probable case of swine flu.
"We're not canceling anything at this point," said Chicago Public Schools chief Ron Huberman.
In Kane County at Marmion Academy in Aurora, a Catholic boys high school where one case of probable swine flu was identified, extracurricular events were canceled, including a national competition in Florida for the ROTC drill team, said school headmaster John Milroy.
"This is something they worked for all year long," Milroy said, noting team members' disappointment.
Illinois officials say it's just a matter of time before there's an uptick in the number of local cases of people sickened.
"We expect these case numbers to rise in the next days, weeks and possibly months ahead," said Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Terry Mason.
Swine flu concerns aren't only disrupting schools.
The Mexican Civic Society of Illinois has canceled a Cinco de Mayo event at Chicago's Navy Pier this weekend because of concerns about the flu, said spokeswoman Evelia Rodriguez.
Hundreds of performers and vendors planned to travel from Mexico, but some had trouble getting flights for the event that celebrates Mexico's defeat of a French army on May 5, 1862, Rodriguez said.
Despite the likely spread of the virus, officials don't want people to panic, asking them instead to pay attention to simple preventive measures like hand washing and covering their mouths when they sneeze and cough.
"If you're sick stay home and get better. Don't spread a cold or a flu at work, at school, at church, a store, a gathering, at the movies or anywhere else. Protect yourself and protect others," Mason said.
At the Chicago elementary school that was closed, nearly 96 percent of the school's students are from low-income families, according to state data, and advocates worried the closure would hit those families hard.
Arlette Crawford, 40, learned about the probable case of swine flu when she arrived at the school with her 5-year-old daughter, Aaliyah.
"I am pretty nervous," she said, recalling how on Tuesday she ate breakfast at the school with her daughter and they sat near another girl who "was sneezing nonstop," had a flushed face and raspy voice. Crawford said she and a teacher persuaded the mother to take that child home.
Huberman said state health officials alerted him Tuesday night that a student at the North Side elementary school had a probable case of swine flu. The district informed families about the school closure through automated phone messages, he said.
The Chicago closing came as President Barack Obama urged school districts with confirmed cases of swine flu to consider closing to help control spread of the illness.
As of 2008, Hispanic students made up 59.9 percent of Kilmer's population, according to CPS, and officials cautioned against drawing conclusions or stereotyping. Determining whether the child had traveled recently to Mexico will be part of the investigation, Mason said.
"That's one of the things we need to dispel right now. Very many times people try to ascribe or attach to virus and bacteria the geopolitical considerations. No. Viruses and bacteria attack everyone. It's an equal opportunity employer," said IDPH's Arnold. source
Aubrey Speaks
Former Danity Kane member and resident whore Aubrey O'Day sat down for a chit chat after DK's non-reunion reunion was televised last Thursday. She touched on the subjects of the DK break up, forgiveness, her upcoming reality show, tongue kissing her dog, etc.

Mariah And Nick's New Digs?
New Music: Cassie - 'Not What Love Is' // R. Kelly - 'Take It To The Hotel' // One Chance - 'Gold Digger'
I really want to root for Cassie, I really do. No matter what some may say about her voice, her first album was a banger through and through. I loved it. She, Diddy, or whoever is deciding on what direction she takes with this upcoming album needs to realize that these mid-tempo cuts are not meant for someone with her limited vocal ability. This song is not bad, but she needs to speed up the pace.
Here's some new music from our perverted uncle. lol
I'm a fan of these guys. They are really talented and I want them to do well. But so much music of theirs has leaked and there is no word of a release date for an album no info on appearances....It doesn't look good. But I like this song.

Under My Umbrella, Ella, Ella
“I don’t have no fancy car/But [I’ll] never give you no scar.”
Here's the video of Rih Rih getting embarrassed by Beenie Man. He called her to the stage and then proceeded to sing an off-key version of 'Umbrella.' Way to put her on the spot Bennie. SMDH source
Interestingly enough, Chris Brown will be in court tomorrow for his assault charges.

Diddy: "Bad Boy Is The Last Label Standing"
But who's on it? Day26? Cassie? Not much roar coming from that label. And any artist that is on the label can't get a proper promotional push. How many hopes and dreams has this man destroyed? The label may be standing but is it standing tall? My answer is, um, no.

Tyra Banks Will Go Face To Face With Her Stalker
"She invites fans that are inspired by her show to reach out to her," defense lawyer Sydney O'Hagen said in opening arguments at Green's trial. "Mr. Green was a fan, albeit perhaps an overzealous fan." Prosecutors have a different version - and cite statements made by Green that they say prove his guilt. Besides sending unwanted flowers and love letters to Banks and ignoring orders from police to stay away from the show, Green threatened to kill an employee who refused to give him the Chelsea address of the show's studio. "You're f--ing lying, I'm going to find you and slit your throat," Green, 39, screamed into the telephone, prosecutors charge. source
Mr. Green had better watch his back. Doesn't he know that Tyra can unleash the FORCE of her forehead?
