SERENA WILLIAMS CAN SING?

Something ain’t right about this picture. Supposedly, she recorded a track with Ray J & Ciara (along with some other people). I know that shit sounds like garbage; we all know Ciara can’t sing, and don’t even get me started on Ray J. But I HAVE TO HEAR THIS SONG, so if anyone has it email a sista.

HOT ASS MESSES! (i like rodney jerkins, so he don’t count).

GET YOUR WORK OUT ON.

Janet is going to be back in shape in no time. Homegirl looks like she is working hard!

NEW PIC OF TYRA & HER MAN

Remember that post I made about Tyra and her new Italian boyfriend? Well I found some more pictures of them together, I guess these were taken the same time the other ones were. She looks happy though.

REST IN PEACE PAT MORITA

Pat Morita (better known as Mr. Miyagi) died yesterday at the age of 73. I loved that guy. He will be missed.

———————————————–
Now, as you take a breather from all the family & food; please take the time out to read this post. I posted some crazy statistics about AIDS in the black community & a good link where you can get more info on the topic. We need to wake up my people. Use protection if you are going to get your freak on. Atleast get educated; because even if we think we know everything – we really don’t. Stay up and Have a good one.

ALICIA KEYS GETTING HIV/AIDS AWARENESS OUT

Alicia Keys was among several celebs (Tom Hanks, Sharon Stone, Elizabeth Taylor) who have teamed up with designer Kenneth Cole for a new AIDS campaign. The celebrities have put their footprints in cement slabs to boost awareness about AIDS. The slabs will be displayed throughout Manhattan, New York on World Aids Day (December 1st). Meanwhile, celebrated photographer Mark Seliger captured the celebrities making their marks. The photos will accompany the street exhibition.

HIV/AIDS HAVE REACHED CRITICAL LEVELS FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY

A new report about HIV and AIDS in the U.S. black community is out and it’s BEYOND scary.
- Out of the 43,000 new HIV cases in the U.S. in 2003, 48% (just under half) came from the black community.
- A black woman is more than 12 TIMES likelier than a white woman to become infected with HIV.
- AIDS is one of the TOP THREE CAUSES OF DEATH for black men ages 25 to 54 and for black women ages 25 to 34. (more info & links)

Now ask yourself, what is really going on?

ASHANTI & NELLY ENGAGED?

Ashanti has been seen sporting a nice rock on her ring finger. Supposedly it was given to her by Nelly, 3 days after her 25th birthday party. Ut oh, I guess it’s getting serious.

TERRENCE & MARC ANTHONY’S EX-WIFE?

After being dumped by his wife of 14 years (for her high school sweet-heart), Terrence Howard has moved on. He has been seen around with Deyanara Torres (that chick Marc Anthony dropped for J.HO). I guess heart-break brought these lovebirds together. Because they both got dissed something awful.

ON TO OTHER NEWS..

DAVID BANNER GETS NO LOVE.

David Banner has raised more than 500,000 dollars for Katrina victims, and feels that he is not getting enough props from the media. He quotes, “It upsets me because I felt like people should have seen more about it. Now if I was beefing with somebody or shot somebody, it would be all over the marquee everywhere.” Shut ur ass, donating is suppose to be from the heart, you’re not supposed to ask for shine for that. I mean doesn’t that defeat the purpose?

DUMB ASS QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Just because it is rated mature doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy it for your kids.” -50 CENT (Fiddy refering to his new game – 50 Cent: Bulletproof). What the hell does it mean then? If I had a kid, I wouldn’t want him or her blowing heads off while playing his game. 50 needs to shut the hell up already or go under a rock for awhile.

H.A.M. ALERT!!

CAPTION ME

Mike Tyson always messing with them nasty pigeons. He need to get a J-O-B already.

RUSH HOUR 3 IS A GO.

After all that drama that went on with the producers and Chris Tucker – he has finally signed on to be in Rush Hour 3. The funny man is reportedly getting paid 20 MILLION dollars plus 20% of the gross earnings. Can you say DAYUM!!! After all that drama, that movie better be good. Oh yeah, Jackie Chan is getting 15 million & 15% of the gross earnings, and will also own the film’s distribution rights in China and Hong Kong (read more).

FROM ASHY TO CLASSY.

Angela Bassett has always been classy, but I had to find a title for this. LOL. Anyway, Mrs. Bassett will lend her voice to Olay’s Quench body lotion targeting African-American women. “Olay’s Quench Body Lotion, made with shea butter formula and an exclusive amino-vitamin formula to get at that ash, purports to eliminate the need for constant reapplication.” That shit better work, because we all know Caress lotion was not made for black people. It’s like adding water to your skin – increases the ash potential.
