THE BLACK CELEBRITY ROUND UP (JAY-Z, SAG AWARD NOMS, AND MORE)
Monday, January 8, 2007
my favorite hue is Jay-Z blue..

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.
Laurence Fishburne, Gina Torres Expecting

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?

LOL #70 I’m a real John Legend fan with both albums and he definitely didn’t seem like the kind of person to do that. #35 What do you mean about that TV appearance. HOV is hovering in his success. Much love for “Black Star Power”!!
P.S. You know #5 You’ve just explained Don’t be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood. Ashtrey’s daddy is younger than he is. I didn’t realize there was only a 6 yr age difference between Lawrence and Cuba. How you gonna be somebodies daddy at that range?!

I’m very happy for Will and Jennifer. I haven’t seen either of their movies yet (shame on me) but I can tell very well from the previews that they did amazing. And having a “Jay-Z Blue” is about tha dumbest shit I’ve ever heard, despite the fact that it looks hot.

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.
speak on it.
oh pleaze with the gay rumors, as soon as a black star does soemthign somebody doesnt liek hes gay, every black male in the entetainment industry is gay, jay -z had a gay rumor out too. And dumbass people beleive that shit whole hartedly too. With no proof what so ever, just becuase. When does it end?

No.52 you are funny as hell… Women do tear eachother down. They hate Beyonce and I bet none of them ever met her. You should see th post on all the websites it’s like a kill beyonce fest going on. She’s just living her life fulfilling her dreams try it it might work in your favor also but ladies ther’s no need to hate on the sister. She is the shit but if you put in the work and the effort maybe you can too.

“Jay-z blue? What a waste of a color… theres nothing great about that!!!”
————————————————-
Not true. The man is a marketing genius.
The color was not picked by accident and colors have meanings both implicit and explicit.
Blue is largely a masculine powerful color its used to project precision, confidence and intellect.

You could drape jayz in all type of diamonds, and he’d still be unattractive to me! There’s not one thing about him thats sexy but his money!
Congrats to all the SAG nominees!

I’m happy for Laurence (aka Larry) and Gina! They’re a cute couple and their baby is going to be even cuter!
I’m really surprised that Akeelah and the Bee didnt get any nominations at the SAGs or the Golden Globes. Damn they’re knocking that film for real.

No disrespect sis, but what is your point? That I shouldn’t have an opinion because you idolize Jay-Z and believe everything you see on TV. Or maybe that I should think down on your level and be another mindless drone?
I didn’t go into Biggie and Tupac’s Murder and all that shit so I don’t know why you brought that up. Probably because you don’t get the point. If you worship Jay-Z, then that’s you, but I choose to ask questions. The brother was a phenomenal rapper at one time but it is what it is. One thing I always notice about alot of black people is that they can always tell you what something ISN’T but they can never tell you what something IS, lol. You’re certainly right that I can’t see what you see, thank the Lord, because you see the mirage, I see the real image. How the hell you gonna accuse me of not seeing what you see and you don’t believe in the devil, lmao. That means that you must not believe in Christ or the Lord either. It makes sense because Jigga is obviously one of your gods. Jay-Z has done what he’s done because he values the adulation of people like you, lol. The meaning for his life is only relevant as long as he’s “loved” by countless people that have never met him. What do you think that song “Lost Ones” was about, lol.
@67
Look dumb nigga, go outside and play or somethin’, lol. Don’t get into adult conversations. Don’t waste my time responding to something I said if you’re not intelligent or well-versed enough to follow up with facts or research. You’re one of those dumbasses that believe that masons really want anyone who “just believes in a higher power”, lol. When you assess that tenet, it doesn’t even make any fuckin’ sense. One person believes in Allah, one in the Most High, etc. etc…but they can all come together, lol. That shows you that none of those people are educated about what they believe in or they’d know not to have fellowship with unbelievers of their own doctrine. Now let me give ya stupid-ass some homework. Go look up Albert Pike and tell me why he is the only Confederate soldier (and co-founder of the KKK) to have a statue built in his memorial at D.C. Then I want you to tell me why Michael Richards called up Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson to give his fake apology. If you can’t tell me either one of those things, it wouldn’t surprise me because you’ve never shown any intelligence whatsoever, lmao. I hope the masons didn’t let your clown-ass join. You gonna let out all the secrets, lol.

I hope Jennifer will get any and every award she’s nominated for. The woman is phonomenal in Dreamgirls. She has a flawless voice;not since Whitney Houston have a heard anyone sing so effortless. She performed on Letterman last night and the crowd just clapped in amazement. I’m offically a fan of hers.

Is this Jay-Z’s personal color?
John Legend sounds like a big idiot if this is true. Nobody came to hear your damn brother!
J-Hud….It must be nice to be recognized by actors/actresses that have been in the industry and know what true acting is.
They should have something like that for the musicians. I don’t know who the hell is on the Grammy committee.
It’s one thing to go from AI to the Grammys and then be in the same catogory as Mariah, Mary J., etc. (which is destined to happen as it did for Kelly C.) BUT to ALSO be nominated by the GG and the SAG. If this girl gets nominated for the Oscars and WIN? She would have to be looked at as the most successful AI contestent ever.
I am sure she is breaking so many records. I mean how many performer/singers etc. that are out can say that they accomplished all of that in such a short period of time. I mean, Vanessa W, Janet, Whitney are all good actresses but have any of them ever been nominated for the GG, SAG or Academy Awards?

I swear, I’m so sick and tired of seeing that camel looking Jay-Z every dang-gone where. He is so f-ing over-rated. And I hate it when some women try to pretend he’s fine, because he has money and dating Beyonce. I dont have anything personal against him but DAMN if he aint ugly. Sorry…
The whole John Legend rumor is fake cause he wasn’t even in London at the time of the alleged incident he was in New York celebrating his Birthday on the 28th (we just saw the pictures not to long ago) and his european tour ended on the 22th, so dont believe all the sh** you hear, cause hello this is a gossip blog. Besides that’s not like him. Brush the haters off John…
Laurence Fishburne and his wife are expecting, that’s beautiful, but you cares…
I love the whole Smith Family, Will, Jada and the kids, thats all.

SUVs are a leading cause of pollution that contribute to the hole in the ozone layer. not to mention just big gas guzzling ugly vehicles. and “jay-z blue” looks the color of greasy southern preacher’s suit. ew. so cheesy. check out the documentary “who killed the electric car” trailer on youtube.com or here. just because someone offers you a lucrative deal doesn’t mean you have to take it. it is obvious that jay-z, kelis and others that could make a difference in the world only care about fattening his pockets.we are so blinded by crass materialism, we fail to see the big picture of how our actions will affect future generations who have to live on a polluted earth and with only a distant memory of animals that have gone the way of the dodo.

IT’S HOVA!!!!! I love Jay-z, I think he is a very savvy businessman so that is WHY he can do things like come out with is own hue (Jay-z Blue) and people WILL go out and buy the car for that simple fact.
I think Jennifer Hudson is immensely talented and she deserves all the success and all the hype from this movie Dreamgirls. If she gets an Oscar nomination then I know Miss “I have 9 grammys, I’m already a Star,” Knowles will be shitting in her House of Dereon Jeans and I will PAY to see that. I just lost respect for her after she made those catty and unnecessary comments towards Jennifer on the Today show, don’t HATE because you are not the star in this movie, you CANNOT be #1 in everything.
I could care less about John Legend’s sexuality, I think he’s losing his touch musically, I was so in love with Get Lifted and his new CD is a major letdown. What happened? did all those grammys fly into his head?

jay-z is a piece of shit. his music sucks. any 8 year old m-c off the street could eat him alive in a free style and his “rhymes” are wack!! i think this business accumen is bullshit. what b-ball team did he buy. the basement dwelling new jersey nets with two over the hill fucking stars in vince carter (maybe he thought the last name would bring him luck-negative!) and jason kidd. if he knew so muck about business why did he buy this shithole of a team? and i thought this f’ing guy was gonna retire? no he comes out with this wack bullshit video of a race car driver who has’nt won one official race. jay-z is not a winner he is a f’ing loser. what the f did this guy do to get his own color of car? I think this guy sucks rooster.

My point oh Judah? Where the hell did you get such an image or vision that he is selling his soul for the devil. Thats my got damn point. You fucking catholics wanna come up here preaching and shit. For your got damn information Mr.I know it all, I dont idolize Jayz. You know what maybe I fucking do. I idolize him for his accomplishments and doing the things he do.I idolize him for taking things to levels most men(like you who know so much shit)cant fucking reach. I idolize his buisness savvy mind. I idolize him working his ass to the the top when he clearly was at rock bottom. Im hella late but I going to say what I have to got damn say. You called him a mason. A mason is a person who works with stone or brick. A craftsman. What the hell does this have to do with the devil. And you know, I dont believe in no damn christ or jesus or devil. Im glad you see what you see. You see things that dont make no got damn sense. Lost soul you are. Who are you, a prophet, the internet messiah. Your opinion I commented on because I disagreed with it. Not because I said you couldnt have one. I dont have a god, you fool. Im atheist. Have you met Jayz? How do you know how he feels?Could it be that you are a must I say this overused word HATER? FALLBACK OFF ME.Please go somewhere else with your philosophies and theories. And last,I brung up Tupac and Biggies murders because you bought them up. And whats reall funny, the other people I commented on like Oprah,Will Smith,Denzel Washington,Beyonce,Samuel L.Jackson,Jennifer Hudson,etc must be soul traders too because they are highly successful for all the things they accomplished.Why single out just Jayz.HMMMMM….

I agree with Judah, totally!! He throws obvious masonic hand signs like the Roc sign is a pyramid sign that masons use. Look at the back of your dollar bill. He also posed on the cover of GQ with the locked horn sign. This sign is very well used with the illuminati. All masons believe in God. Some masons believe they are better than God. Those are the ones that you need to watch out for. Just pay attention to what Hova, or God (Jehova) does in the future. Just pay attention!! You know the deal about when some things are too good to be true….
