Spike Lee's Beef With Tyler Perry

Spike Lee, in an interview with Ed Gordon, called out Tyler Perry for what he feels is negative imagery of black people. He said:

"Each artist should be allowed to pursue their artistic endeavors, but I still think there is a lot of stuff out today that is coonery and buffoonery. I know it’s making a lot of money and breaking records, but we can do better. … I am a huge basketball fan, and when I watch the games on TNT, I see these two ads for these two shows (Tyler Perry’s “Meet the Browns” and “House of Payne”), and I am scratching my head. We got a black president, and we going back to Mantan Moreland and Sleep ‘n’ Eat?"

Does Spike have a legitimate concern over the imagery that Tyler "Madea" Perry displays in his movies and TV shows? Or, are Tyler's critics taking things way too seriously?

Jamie Foxx Gets The Kiss Of His Life

Tyrese Is Catching Some Heat

While performing the national anthem for Game 5 of the NBA Conference Finals between the Lakers and Nuggets, Tyrese decided to pull a switcheroo. He replaced the words, "our flag was still there" with "our Lakers were still there." Needless to say, it upset some people. Honestly, I didn't see anything wrong with it and it's so obvious that he meant no harm. I also don't remember anyone claiming when New York Jets fans sing the anthem and end it with, "And the home of the, JETS!" But a lot of people in this country suffer from selective outrage. source

When The Obama Love Goes Too Far

I'm sure the Prez would not approve of any of this foolishness. I wish Michelle Obama could put the smack down on all of the mess that we see, just like she smacked down those Bennie Baby knock-offs of her daughters. Some of this is simply about folks trying to make a profit off of His O-ness. The rest is understandable pride. But tattoos? I don't see how anyone could go that far. On second thought, nevermind. pic souce

C-Murder Caught On Tape

No this is not an episode of 'World's Dumbest Criminals.' This is C-murder opening fire on a club owner. He plead no contest and faces 10 years in prison. That's the thing with these celebrities, they walk around as if their invincible. Sooner or later reality always seems to bite them on the ass. I hope NBA and NFL ballers are taking notes.

Kanye West Becomes An Author

I'm sure you all are waiting to read the thoughts and theories of the world according to Yeezy. Well wait no more. The book, which is 52 pages thick with some blank and some with just a few words, will offer such jems as,"Get used to being used" and "I hate the word hate!" So deep.

Kanye says, "Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed...I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book's autograph...I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life." The book will hit stores July 7th. source

Jennifer Hudson's Baby Bump

No more denials. Jennifer Hudson is obviously pregnant. Word has it, she sits down during songs and performs barefoot, which is evident in these pics. pic source

Sade's Planning A Comeback

Legendary baby-making songstress Sade in gearing up to release her first studio album following a nine year break. It's about damn time. I grew up listening to this woman. Unlike beYAWNce and most of these rappers who drop a new album every 6 months, Sade takes her time making music. Prince once said, "[getting] sick of waiting for Sade to make a new album". Sade's fansite says:

"[Sade] does not make albums for the money, Sade is an artist who creates music purely on inspiration. Hence why we've waited nearly a decade for another release, like a poet with a nine-year year dry spell until she fell in love again, Sade will bless us with another classic."

The site claims that the album will drop November 25th. We'll see. source

Baby Mamas United

My sisters in Christ, Toya Carter and Tiny Cottle, somehow managed to score their own reality show together...On BET. I know, surprise right. As if BET isn't responsible for some of the most tomfoolery we see on teevee today. I might as well stick another pin in my Robert Johnson voodoo doll.

Set in the heart of Atlanta, against the backdrop of the multi-billion dollar music industry, TINY AND TOYA follows the journey of two best friends overcoming their struggles to discover who they really are, from the inside out. They are tired of being defined by others (in the shadow of their high-profile men) and are determined to rely on each other and the strength from within to find their purpose and build a brighter future for themselves and their families. source

New Video: Kanye West - 'Paranoid'

It features Rihanna and she looks absolutely stunning. No more Blondyke for Kanyeezy I guess.

Beyonce's Practically Giving Concert Tickets Away

We all know that beYAWNce's tour isn't selling, so I guess Pimpin' Matthew decided to get a clue. Folks will be able to get tickets for as low as $20. 1,000 specially priced seats for each show will be available by the end of the week to a stan near you. Since it's so cheap, maybe I'll buy a ticket....Just to throw tomatoes at the stage. HA! source

Prom Night: Separate But Equal Style

The ghosts of segregation live on. So much for living in a post-racial society.

Racially segregated proms have been held in Montgomery County — where about two-thirds of the population is white — almost every year since its schools were integrated in 1971. Such proms are, by many accounts, longstanding traditions in towns across the rural South, though in recent years a number of communities have successfully pushed for change. When the actor Morgan Freeman offered to pay for last year’s first-of-its-kind integrated prom at Charleston High School in Mississippi, his home state, the idea was quickly embraced by students — and rejected by a group of white parents, who held a competing “private” prom. (The effort is the subject of a documentary, “Prom Night in Mississippi,” which will be shown on HBO in July.) The senior proms held by Montgomery County High School students — referred to by many students as “the black-folks prom” and “the white-folks prom” — are organized outside school through student committees with the help of parents. All students are welcome at the black prom, though generally few if any white students show up. The white prom, students say, remains governed by a largely unspoken set of rules about who may come. Black members of the student council say they have asked school administrators about holding a single school-sponsored prom, but that, along with efforts to collaborate with white prom planners, has failed. According to Timothy Wiggs, the outgoing student council president and one of 21 black students graduating this year, “We just never get anywhere with it.” Principal Luke Smith says the school has no plans to sponsor a prom, noting that when it did so in 1995, attendance was poor. source

Spectacular: "I Ain't Gay"

Pretty Ricky's Sexy Spec speaks out on the much clowned on stripper video. He says that the video wasn't for men to view and any man who watched the entire video should question their own sexuality. He claims that the women who attend his concerts enjoy his gyrations. Honestly, I didn't have much of a problem with the video. I'm more bothered by the new group member who named himself after women's underwear. SMH

Chris Brown: "I'm Not A Monster"

Chris Brown speaks out for the first since forever. He says that all the blogs are liars and that he doesn't have a black eye. He also says that he plans on dropping a new album soon and a new single will come out this summer. I wonder if he's dropping new music too soon. I never believed that his career was completely over after the Grammy night beat down. The public can be forgetful, but those pics of a battered Rih Rih are still fresh in peoples minds. source

I Weep For My People

Here we have a father at the age of 29 already with 21 kids...No, it's not a typo, he has 21 children! They range in ages 11 years old to newborn, with at least 11 different mothers. What else can you say when you see sh*t like this? Contraceptives were invented for a reason people. We can definitely slam this fool for being so irresponsible, but what about the women? Don't they play a big part in this foolishness? They were willing to lay down and have unprotected sex with this fool knowing that he was making babies all over town. We see Bristol Palin, being puppeteered by her bible-thumping mother, preaching abstinence. But people have to start being realistic and start seriously teaching and emphasizing primarily to young people about the necessity of protection. Not just as a birth control method but also as a protection from diseases. I'm worried about those 21 kids psychologically. SMDH

Jamie Foxx's Gay Lifestyle Revealed?

You might remember Jamie Foxx's run in with a stalker last month. Some folks are claiming that there's more to it. It's being alleged that Jamie himself arranged for the stalker, Stephen Taliver, to meet him at his room for sex and that Jamie and his PR crew have been paying folks off for years to keep his gay tendencies a secret.

The snitch says:

First, let me start off by saying that this is obviously a fake username and no I don't have an account on here. I've been a lurker on LSA for quite some time and it was directly related to my job. My job in fact had me lurking on various message boards to find things out about my firm's clients. What do I do? More like what did I do? I was a publicist in one of the top 5 firms in Hollywood (no not Roger & Cowan). The latter part should make it obvious that I am neither A. nor W., which means I was not nor have I ever been Jamie's publicist but I know things.

From here on out anyone I can't outright name will be called by the letter of their first or last name and bolded.

Some of this "tea" (as you call it) will be old because it goes back to early 2004 but it is quite relavent to now.

Back in early 2004 Jamie Foxx was in a club in which a man came up to him and supposedly said what's up to Jamie and then proceeded to "grab his breast" <-Jamie's exact wording. This is how the story was spun by the PR firm. However, lets disect this a bit. What gay man do you know would actually go up to a straight man and grabs his pecs regardless if he knows him or not? Gay men are already afaird to openly hit on guys who are not in a gay club anyway so why did this guy feel so comfortable enough to do this? That's because a few weeks earlier him and Jamie had sex. What he actually said to him was, "Hey baby. What's up?" Jamie was furious and hit the guy. His PR firm spun the story away and apparently dude was paid off. Another encounter happens again. His PR firm hushes it. Jamie is on thin fucking ice with his team and he knows. Another incident happens. How do they decide to spin this one away? Well, what all PR firms have done! They make up an elaborate story. Do you all remember when some sex photos of Jamie Foxx and some woman came out? They claimed that a man named Mark Pithian from Las Vegas went through Jamie's trash and found the pictures. Mark Pithian doesn't fucking exist. Pithian apparently was a victim of a beating by some of Jamie's supposed friends (which the PR firm had him deny, the point of the story was to make him seem straight not a thug). Mark Pithian then filed a police report that you can read on a certain site. Said site was contacted by the PR firm to hide the victim's name, which they did.

Now ask yourself why? The firm leaked the damn story and even mentioned the man's name several times. That's because dude doesn't exist! I want all of you LSA detectives to find me Mark Pithian in Las Vegas. He was made up. If you're shaking your head and calling me a liar then continue on with me here... Fast forward to now with this creepy old dude who Jamie thought was Bey's producer. C'mon! You can't tell me that you don't see through this shit. I was a bit surprised by the lazy PR work but I'm sure they will redeem this one. When Jamie sets up his meetings with men he makes sure that his bodyguard is not present, which would clearly explain why he had to tackle the man off himself.

As for the naked bastketball games I know it's true but the info I have isn't first or second hand but from what I was told the game starts off naked and whoever doesn't make a basket has to do a sexual favor. Don't hold me onto to that. What I do know is that the PR firm made him sell his house because a few neighbors saw more then what they were supposed to see. Anyway, that's it for now. source

The Song Of The Summer...So Far

Beyonce Admits To Being Unoriginal

“My goal for [the] video is simplicity....In ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’, I saw this old tape of Bob Fosse’s wife, and I used that as inspiration. I thought in this world, with all the technology and everything that’s going on, to strip everything down — great idea. So I kind of did the same thing, but glossy and black, for ‘Ego.’ ”

It's funny how this chick thinks that she's doing something different, but it reality, she's just as contrived, generic, and uninventive as everybody else in the industry. As for the many people that she's copied, they have always done it better than her. source

Guess Who Wants A Booty Call With Jamie Foxx

It's Kirtie Alley! She told Extra:

Music News

Mariah Carey announced the title of her upcoming album via twitter. 'Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel' will drop later this year. Interesting title.....

Teairra Mari plans on dropping a mixtape titled 'Cause A Scene.' The former princess of the 'Rock' will include remixes, released, and unreleased tracks. I understand mixtapes for rappers, but singers? Anyway, take listen to her remix of Drake's hit 'Best I Ever Had.'

The CW Cancels 'The Game'

DAMN, DAMN, DAMN

I don't watch much TV, but of the few shows that I did watch was 'The Game.' It's funny how this show and 'Everybody Hates Chris' never got the equal promo push as the other CW shows. It was moved to Friday nights, which is considered the worst night for sitcoms. Hopefully Mara Brock Akil, the shows executive producer, can shop the show to other networks. This is sad though. source

Michael Vick Released From Prison

Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick left a federal prison in Leavenworth, Kansas, early Wednesday, according to his publicist and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He will serve the last two months of his 23-month sentence in home confinement in Virginia. source

Will Chris Brown Open For Michael Jackson?

I seriously doubt it, with all of the controversy and legal battles surrounding him. But that hasn't stopped some from believing that this could come true. It would be great to see the two of them on the same stage, since Chris (not to mention Usher, JT, Omarion) is a MJ replica. Does this mean that it's back to the basement to twitter her life away for Solange?

Here's C. Breezy's tribute to Michael Jackson at the 2008 World Music Awards:

L’Oreal Is At It Again

L'Oreal has whitewashed Frieda Pinto in its newest campaign ad. Could they be doing this on purpose or is this just a result of lighting and airbrushing? A while back, the cosmetics company did a number on beYAWNce. But I'm sure she didn't mind, with her being "creole" and being "jealous" that she's not a Latina.

WTFiles!?!? Twin Boys Have Different Daddies

Talk about hoodrattedness. This crazy twist of fate happened when Mia Washington cheated on her boyfriend, James Harrison, with another man while she was already pregnant. Mia noticed that something was up when she noticed that the boys had different facial features. DNA testing proved her suspicions correct, when it showed that there was only a 0.001 chance that the boys had the same father. James has forgiven her and has agreed to take care of both boys since the other guy isn't even in the picture. This woman is really showing her ass when she has unprotected sex all willy nilly. And to make this an even more trifling situation, this chick is pregnant again. Damn bish, there are contraceptives, look 'em up. SMH source

According to doctors, if a woman has more than one sexual partner while she is ovulating, there's a miniscule chance that different sperm cells can fertilise two separate eggs. There is only a one-in-a-million chance of twins having different biological fathers.

Our Holy Lady of Janet

For Janet Jackson's 43rd birthday present, husband boyfriend Jermaine Dupri got a tattoo of her likeness on his ribcage. It's looking very Virgin Mary-ish. LOL @ him covering his nipple.

This is the pic that he used.

Snap Shots......

Awww, Rih Rih's smiling again. I'm not sure about the rooster/cockatoo hair, but she looks great. In music news, it's being revealed that Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, and Drake will be appearing on her new album which will drop later this year.

Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Reggie Bush were spotted in Miami. Is it just me or does she look a bit thinner? And does Reggie still play football, because we never see very many pics of him in New Orleans or practicing? He's always by this chicks side. This dude was hyped up to do big thing in the NFL, coming out of college. Talk about a bust. pic source
