Jay-Z presented his “Jay-Z blue” hued Denali at the GM show this weekend (see more pics from a previous post). I know yall remember when he rhymed “Attract money my worst color is light green/my favorite hue is Jay-Z blue…” in the “Go Crazy” remix. He is doing the damn thing.

People Magazine is reporting that, Laurence Fishburne, 45, and his wife Gina Torres, 37, are expecting their first child together. The couple was married in 2002 and this will be Fishburne’s 3rd child. He had two from a previous marriage.

JOHN LEGEND A DRUNKEN FOOL?

Word is that John Legend was kicked out of a London Nightclub for acting a damn fool. The Uk Mirror reports:

“John looked glassy-eyed and unsteady on his feet when he arrived around midnight. So the promoters decided that his younger brother should play instead.” However the crowd was less than impressed by John’s noshow and started booing and heckling his sibling. Our source adds: “John was incensed. He grabbed the mike from his brother and told the crowd to ‘f**k off’. Then he laid into them, saying they should show respect.” [READ MORE]

Damn! No one got that on tape?

    Jennifer Hudson really did do a excellent job as Effie. She deserves any award(s) she may receive.

  2. NEWORLEANS_FINEST_CANDI

    UH IS IT ME OR DO JOHN LEGEND LOOK SUPER GAY? THAT HUE IS HOT!

  3. It’s not just you #3…I think it goes beyond looking gay. He used to be a choir director.

  4. miniki

    Just because he use to be a choir director , What does that mean? Looks can be deceiving.

  5. ron_da1

    I LOVE LARRY FISHBURNE…HE ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS..FUNNY HOW HE PLAYED CUBA GOODENS DADDY IN BOYS IN THE HOOD AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEY THE SAME AGE

  6. texasgurl

    oh john oh john, everybody has to act an ass now a days!

    love tha yukon, but they think that’s going to boost the sales they are mistaken. not because of jay z but many people are all about customizing their own vehicles now. it’s about origionality!!

  7. ron_da1

    IS IT JUST ME OR IZ JAY BIGGER THAN HIP HOP NOW…I MEAN DUDE DOING THINGS I NEVER SEEN ANY HIP HOP ARTIST DO LIKE PREMIERE A VIDEO ON MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL…DAMM

  8. Whateva

    Jay-z blue? What a waste of a color… theres nothing great about that!!!

    Where is Nick’s bitch at?

  9. ms_mac1

    Yeah, Jay is doin’ the dam thing alright. He’s my boy and all but I’m starting to get sick of seeing him EVERYWHERE and on EVERYTHING.

    But it’s interesting that there’s no real backlash against him like there is for a certain female that refuses to sit her a$$ down for five minutes. lol

  10. ms_mac1

    BTW, Congrats to the SAG nominees. It would be great if they all won.

    Does anyone know if Chandra Wilson used to be on DeGrassi Junior High (the original). She looks so familiar to me.

  11. “looking gay”….lol……how f**king simple you are….

  12. babe4k

    John Legend looks super dee duper gay!!! Ugh!
    And congrats to Jennifer Hudson!!! GO GIRLIE!

  13. Jay-Z doing it up as usual.Is that John Legend’s girl hiding from the camera again?She really need to stop is she embarrassed or what?Congrats to Lawrence Fishburn and his wife,good to see a hollywood couple still together.Congrats to everyone’s nominations for the SAG awards.

  14. DINAD82

    I saw the movie Dreamgirls this weekend and Jennifer Hudson did an outstanding performance. She was awesome. She does deserves any awards that she may receive!

  15. Jz blue> wtf
    IF this is true I am Very suprised @ John Legend I guess every once in a while everyone shows their true colors> lol get it colors Jay z blue Lol

  16. waiting for the Dvd of Dream girls went to see pursuit of happiness

  17. Love Laurence and Djimon…they alwayz bring everything they got to a role…
    I really don’t care if Jay Z bring out a canary yellow Hyundai…..
    Leave John alone…everybody deserves to get crunk ever so often….

  18. pinklibradiva

    OMG.. I went to see Dreamgirls and Pursuit of Happyness the same day and EVERYONE in Dreamgirls did an AWESOME job!! I hope Will, Eddie and Jennifer win! But I am torn because Forrest Whitaker deserves something. He is truly a gifted actor!

    Congrats to Laurence Fishburne (as he is now called) and his wife!

    I love me some Jay-Z (and Beyonce) but unless they are giving that car away I wouldn’t buy it cause it is Jay-z blue. My color is pink!

  19. I love Jay-Z. He’s a business, man. lol

    Why is that crackhead trying to sell John some roses that it looks like he just stole off of somebody’s grave.

    I didn’t know that was Lawrences baby mama. She has always seemed “mannish” to me. Congrats – no doubt.

    Congrats and much love to the SAG nominees!

  20. Jay-Z is really doing the damn thing. I wonder if he is gonna give it away or something?

    Lawrence Fishburn’s wife is 37 and this is her first child? Wow!

    I dont buy anything coming out of UK. They have the are notorious for over exagerating when it comes American celebrities. One doesn’t have to be drunk to come to the defense of his/her sibbling. Its a natural reaction.

    Forrest Whitaker doesn’t stand a chance against Wil Smith’s. Every man shoudl go see “Pursuit of Happyness”

  21. keisheloca

    John Legend cursed out the crowd? Thats so out of character for him………….Mr Carter is on a whole other level. good for him and congrats to all the nominated folks, they really deserve to win.

  22. Shauna

    I think Djimon Housou should win for best supporting actor for Blood Diamond he was amazing. Jennifer Hudson should take it for best supporting actress.

  23. Tracee

    Jay-Z is doing it big! It must be nice!

  24. Wow @ Jay-Z…his business savy leaves me speechless lol. I know Dame must be sick to his stomach…

    Lawrence is beyond old for a baby…he is now in the Donald Trump and Micheal Douglas club lol.

    Aww I love lil Jaden he is so cute, I just had to say that lol…good for Will. I saw the movie on Saturday and he did a good job…

    Good for J.Hud and I love Chandra Wilson I love her character on Grey’s Anatomy.

  25. FLORIDA ORANGE

    I actually like the Jay-Z blue but i wouldn’t buy a car for that damn color

  26. I can’t knock Jay-Z’s hustle. The man stay about his business. He is so much bigger than hip hop right now. Good look for him.
    Congrats to Larry, I mean Laurence and his wife.
    John Legend – so what?
    Congrats to all the Sag nominees.

  27. Morpheus is going to be a dad!!!

  28. G

    You should mention that Dreamgirls is also up for Overall Best Acting Ensemble, which is the SAG’s highest prize. that is particularly cool b/c its the only black-casted movie to be up for the top award…

    and i like that Jay-Z blue color, but i can’t afford it…

  29. Nix

    why stop there Jay
    why not purchase the rights to the color blue while ur at it

    now this is a BELIEVALBLE list of nominees
    i hope they all win!

  30. SWEETZ

    I LOVE Jay! I’m happy he’s doing his thing inside the rap world, and out…some rappers get too caught up and constantly catch cases and sh** but Jay is def. a business man!!

    And about John, I thought he was was of the sane artists….shame on him!! Get it 2gether Mr. Legend!!

  31. I LIKE THE JAY-Z BLUE. LOOKS NICE.

    JENNIFER HUDSON BETTER TO THE DAMN THANG! SHE KILLED IT IN DREAMGIRLS. EDDIE TOO. BUT I THINK HE IS GONNA LOSE TO HOMIE FROM BLOOD DIAMONDS.

  32. justme

  38. htx htx

    COSIGN WITH # 9. I CAN’T KNOCK THE HUSTLE THOUGH…

  39. HOTMOMMA001

    I LOVE JAY Z! This dude is a STRAIGHT “G!” He has some many endeavors, I don’t understand why he even feels the need to make another CD EVA! I guess you gotta keep ‘em wanting for me?!

    Anyway, I don’t knock him for his hustle or his significant other. One thing I admire about him is that he KEEPS IT CLASSY!

    GO JIGGA, GO JIGGA, GO, GO!

  40. HOTMOMMA001

    DAMN! Still havent’ seen Dreamgirls! It is on the “TO DO” list tho! LOL!

    I can wait on Pursuit of Happiness for DVD.

    I hope all that were nomiated WIN! Go Black Start Power!

  41. SCARLETT

    I like the color, but I feel that the only people who would actually buy it, can not afford it. The people who can afford will not buy it. And once the #1 neighborhood dope boy cops it first, noone else is going to want it!

  42. She luvz da 90s

    I aint know jay z came here for that

  43. @ 20 I loved the Pursuit of Happynes and I love Will Smith but If you haven’t seen the Last King of Scottland you need to see it. Will Smith aint got nothing on Forest Whitaker in that movie. Forest was so evil in that movie that you really hate him.He put his foot, elbow, ass,ear, and everthing else into that role. I think it was his best if not on of his best performances.

  44. H-Town Chic*

    LOL@#19 about the crackhead with the flowers

    Jay-Z is da man!!! His business savvy is such a turn on. I love a smart black man!!!!

    I actually like the blue but not on that Yukon.

    As far as John Legend I didn’t think he had it in him LOL. Still luv him!!!

    Congrats to everyone on the sags awards. Special shout out to Chandra Wilson, luv her!!!

  45. obvus

    @40 Hotmama….please see Pursuit of Happiness before Dreamgirls. It is a better quality movie and Dreamgirls is way, way, way overrated. It’s a cool film, dont’ get me wrong, but Pursuit of Happiness has a true message in it and better acting. :)

  46. glad tosee us black folks doin our thang!

  47. Jay-Z blue? LMAO! GTFOH! He don’t have anything better to do?

    As far as John Legend, who gives a rat a$$? He should be entitled to getting his head bashed every once in a while.

  48. who has their own color???? jay z is doing the damn thing!!! go ahead!

  49. JHONNY LEGEND!!

    JOHN LEGEND IS JUST TRYING TO GET RID OF THAT “PERFECT BOY IMAGE” WHATEVER GAYSI!!

    LAWRENCE FISHBORN, WHEN YOUR KID IS 20,YOU WILL BE 67, THATS TOOO SILLY. WRAP IT UP!!

    JAY, If I pop your bottom lip, you will drown.

    I hope disjopmops wins for best supporting actor for blood diamonds, he was off the chain in that movie.

    Leonardo was good too!!

  50. Jay-Z = 1 smart black boy!!
    Innovative, fresh ideas to stay on a come-up. That’s tight!!!

  51. bomb404

    I really hope that J-Hud pulls a Jamie Foxx and sweeps the award sesaon. Her performance was strong and she deserves the hype.

    What sucks is that we are so saturated with the image of bony ass blondes that when we see a thick sista get some attention even WE want to doubt it. But Jennifer is the real deal.

    It seems that more and more of us are getting nods for our performances, that is good it shows that some progress is being made and it proves that when we are given a chance at a complex character, we can do the damn thing.

    I hope Forrest gets some wins because he is been underrrated for sooo long. I’m nervous because DiCaprio and Pitt are getting some hype for their work. I hope that Hunsou wins too because he is a gifted actor, Eddie also did his best work in Dreamgirls. Will Smith is a committed actor but I feel that he has the same wooden quality as an actor like Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts. He acts, but doesn’t feel. But the Pursuit of Happiness is the best he is going to get so he may pull an award just for that just like Julia Roberts did in Erin Brockovich for the same reason.

  52. Me

    Somebody above said Jay ain’t catching flack like Bey. Well here’s the reason, men don’t sit around hating on other men. Not only is gay for a dude to that it’s just as ridiculous as when women do it. Real guys go out and huslte to get to where they wanna be and don’t sit around worrying about what the next man is achieving.Women on the other hand can’t stand other women. It’s like Chris Rock said we should be running the world by now but tear each other down to much and spend to much time worrying about the next women instead of handling our own business.

    And come congrats to everyone on all there achievements good to see black folks propering.

  53. Yea Jennifer Hudson is going to be a huge superstar actress, but I hope the singing thing don’t blow up in her face like it did Queen latifah.

  54. Marcusito-Da Famous Blogger

    Um Sugabear, I think tha Queen did fine with her singing career. Her singing album sold a million and it was a adult comtemporary/jazz/soul album, so thats pretty damn good.

    But big up to Jennifer Hudson for her SAG nod. I wonder if Beyonce is still surprised at this point for not getting more praise for Dreamgirls, I bet her mami and papi are foaming at da mouth right now!

  55. Marcusito-Da Famous Blogger

    Side Note: If John Legend is gay, let the MF be. We didn’t hold it against Luther Vandross.

  56. q_tis_diva

    i like that color blue lol.

    congrats to the fishbourns

  57. Elegance1981

    This is only the first of many awards for Jennifer Hudson. Eddie Murphy did really good also. I can’t wait until Dreamgirls comes out on dvd.

  58. John Legend=BORING, he makes me sick. His music sucks.
    Jigga doing big things, he is looking good.
    Congrats to Jennifer Hudson.

  59. Doin It

    Jay-Z….wasn’t he already in the other post about the same sh*t? NEXT…..

    Congrats to ALL the SAG nominees, and NOT because they are BLACK, because they deserve it.

    John Legend…um…NEXT!!
