THE ROUND UP: MARION JONES ADMITS TO STERIOD USE / BEYONCE GETTING SUED AGAIN / R.KELLY TOUR NEXT MONTH / FREE FOXY
Friday, October 5, 2007

For years, Marion Jones angrily denied she was a drug cheat, swearing she was clean and daring anyone to prove otherwise.
Seven years after her triumphs at the 2000 Olympics, the three-time gold medalist has admitted in a recent letter to family and close friends that she used steroids before the Sydney Games, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
She’s scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in White Plains, N.Y., on Friday to plead guilty to charges in connection with her steroid use, a federal law enforcement source told The Associated Press. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, and would not provide specific details about the plea.
“I want to apologize for all of this,” the Post reported Jones saying in her letter, quoting a person who received a copy and read it to the paper. “I am sorry for disappointing you all in so many ways.” [READ MORE]
This really pissed me off. I looked up to her when I was back in school and even did a project on her. What a shame!
BEYONCE JACKING LYRICS?

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals received a copyright infringement case Wednesday filed by a Minnesota woman claiming Beyonce’s 2003 hit “Baby Boy” illegally uses lyrics from her song, “Got a Little Bit of Love for You.”
Jennifer Armour of Shakopee, Minn already had her lawsuit dismissed by a Houston judge, but the woman appealed her case, believing it should be heard by a jury, reports the Associated Press.
Beyonce, 26, did not attend Wednesday’s hearing, which took place before a three-judge panel.
Armour’s attorney, Dana Kirk, told the judges that an expert analyzed Armour’s slow and melodic version alongside Knowles’ song featuring Sean Paul and that the two are substantially similar [READ MORE]
R.KELLY TO GO ON TOUR, NOT TRIAL

SCREEN CAP TAKEN FROM AN EPISODE OF ‘THE BOONDOCKS’
With no start date for his child pornography trial in sight, R. Kelly has laid the groundwork for an upcoming tour to promote his most recent studio album, “Double Up,” which entered The Billboard 200 at No. 1 in June.
Fellow R&B crooners J. Holiday and Ne-Yo are booked as opening acts for the tour, which is scheduled to hit 39 dates across the United States beginning Nov. 14 at the Columbus Civic Center in Columbus, Ga., and wrapping Jan. 12 at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Va. [ click here to read more ]
Wow! I guess he will never go on trial. Ain’t nothing like a good concert though? Who is going to hit that up?
FREEFOXYBROWN.COM

Foxy Brown has launched a new Web site, FreeFoxyBrown.com, that is designed to keep fans updated with her latest news, as well as allow folks to send messages to the rapper while she’s on lockdown at Rikers Island.
“I devoted my career to building an affinity with my fans who have supported me unflinchingly and no barbed wire fence or prison wall will stop that,” Brown said in a statement. “I am in great spirits and very focused, and needed a forum to communicate to the people.”

Marion should be ashamed of herself.
Fuck R.Kelly! He makes good music, but he is a horrible person.
Beyonce doesn’t write anything, so it was bound to happen anyway.

I remember when some guy said he saw Marion Jones injecting the steroids into her leg or something like that years ago. I think they had some damning evidence on her and she decided to just come clean. After all those years of denial, that can be the only reason.

I wonder why she just up and confessed? Usually people who get away with stuff don’t admit what they did after the fact.
I’m no Beyonce hater, but if she stole those lyrics then she should have to pay some sort of restitution (sp?). She swears she writes her own stuff. She just has to prove it now.
R-uh ain’t never.. ever ever ever…going to jail.
Free Foxy my ass. Break the law, go to jail. It’s that simple. Foxy should have gotten up with R-uh’s lawyers. They got some litigation for yo’ ass.

Beyonce can’t even articulate one dayum sentence in interivews so how in the hell are we supposed to believe she can write a whole song? The only song I can truly say I believe she wrote was Bootylicious.
R. Kelly needs to be locked away while Bubba pisses on him.

Damn that does piss me off, I know this sounds bad but why confess now? Has it ben on her back that long? She should have just realized it was bad and never did it again, not confess to it years later. You gotta love her honesty though. I guess
Bey, Bey, Bey Why? she is a good songwriter she didn’t have to do that.
I want to go to that concert, it sounds like it’s going to be good.
Glad foxy has some kind of communication to her fans so she could keep her head up in there.

People do this stuff all the time, people fudge on resumes and job applications to get a higher position to make money, people cheat on exams, people lie… it is what it is…sad.

Damn, that sucks. I used to like Marion back in high school when I got into athletics myself. She did it for the black girls. At least she’ll live without the fear and anxiety of being caught like she has been living all along.
beyonce seems to get herself into these kind of situations a lot. What can’t she just credit these people if she can’t write her own stuff. Maybe she’s greedy and want the monet all to herself.
I would like to see R. Kelly perform live. That DVD of his is great.

Beyonce, UGH, BITCH SIT DOWN AND MAKE SOME KIDS AND TAKE A BREAK WITH YO OVEREXPOSED SELF!! Your ass can’t even read and write, so how the hell can you write your own lyrics?
How can ANYONE seriously support the digusting child-molesting R Kelly? What a piece of shit, he thinks everythings cool, cause he makin music and is not ONE BIT remorseful of his shameful, sexual criminal acts. What a shame to the American fuckin justice system. His ass hasnt made a hot record since Tp2. C’mon, the man had sex with an underaged girl and urinated on her!! And people STILL support his ass? LOL, isn’t it funny how people call Brandy a murderer for a car ACCIDENT, but are still suckin on R Kelly’s old ass nuts??!!

That Marion Jones situation is just sickening - She will likely be stripped of all of her medals and awards. I enjoyed watching her smoke the competition in 2000, but I have to admit, her physique was a little suspect - she lost everything feminine.
Her chest was so flat you could see her back from the front.
Yea, I know everybody is using, but when you so emphatically deny - it looks really bad when you are caught. And in addition to being a cheat, she and Tim Montgomery are crooks too - money laundering and check scheming. Damn Shame.

I’ll tell you the truth people. As ashamed as I am, I have been searching for R. Kelly tickets since the cd dropped. Not so much for this particular cd, but has anybody ever seen this man in concert? He gives a staright up GREAT performance!!!
The last time I saw this molester in concert, he sang EVERY SINGLE WORD! I mean EVERY WORD!! From “How y’all doin tonight?” to “G’night.” Now THAT’s how you give the people their money’s worth!
I can’t lie, I’ve been fiending for another performance like that from an r&b male.

Not surprised Beyonce is jacking lyrics really, I have always said she doesn’t write her own songs because let’s face it she’s not even capable of stringing together an intelligent, coherent sentence in an interview without completely fucking everything up for herself. This and the fact she ripped off “Resentment” and “Irreplaceable” just goes to show.
Its fucking disgusting R. Kelly is out there partying it up, shooting videos and going on tour. We’ve all seen the video people, how can anyone even consider supporting this paedophile? And is no one else sick of celebrity justice?

She got involved with the wrong crowd of people, in her life. Her ass aint rapin no-one like R Kelly, who some trippin ass bitches STILL love and support despite being a pedophile and sexual deviant (listen to the words of his songs since 2003–AFTER he got charged).

How exactly can you continue to be sued over songs that you claim you write yourself? Beyonce needs to get off of that “I write all of my songs” - because in too many instances it has come back to haunt her. Give credit where it’s due, and even if you don’t know the original author - you know you didn’t think of those lyrics sitting up in your room.

Marion will definity have to forfeit those medals and probably confessed now, as part of the plea arrangement. She was facing some serious time with the tax case, the steriod investigation was on going and she had already file chap 7. So her world has already come crashing down around her, we’re just the last to be fully exposed.
I feel for the sister. She will need a lot of prayers, and I’m sure someone will annonimosly support her finacially. She will probably go back to Belize where a little money goes a long way when this is over.
Barry is watching closely and weighing the same options I’m sure. Redemption, they both need it.

Y’all act like y’all some of the smartest bitches alive. Stay hating on Beyonce, i give the lady all her props cause she deserves them. The lady that sued just wanting money, where did beyonce hear her song? just wondering, the shit is unknown. A little Minnesota woman found away to be heard and get some money, hoe sit the fuck down!

R. Kelly is only molesting black girls, that’s why he is able to continue his career. The saddest thing about this whole mess is that black people continue to support him, how pathetic. I heard this news report how he was out here in Florida and was caught with child pornography in his hotel suite but wasn’t charged because the evidence was seized illegally and that he paid three separate people to settle their cases against him. I swear some black people could be standing in the room with him watching and still say he is innocent. very sad!

R-Kelly….hmmm…he’s gonna be someone’s pretty bitch on the inside..when they finally lock him it’s going to be major time served…watch…

Truth be told, all the artists of today were inspired by someone of yesterday, but I refuse to believe Beyonce jacked J. Lo, and sure as hell not Britney (who clearly jacked Janet!). You can clearly see the similarities between her performances and the Ike-era Tina Turner ones, but that’s where it ends.

Marion Jones truly disappoints me but at the same time, she confessed, and the fact that she admitted to this makes me feel like she deserves forgiveness, I’m not talking about admiration (don’t get me wrong), but forgiveness, knowing that she was not even caught. She will lose EVERYTHING because of her lies, that’s enough of a punishment.
Beyonce……no comment.
RKelly……….I’ll give a shit when they lock up his ass.
Foxy……..whatever.

This chick’s song was on the web during this time for THE ENTIRE PUBLIC TO JUDGE and the poll taken said the songs weren’t similar. Which was the same decision the judge came too.
She did have some similarities, but her’s is a slow version with a similar chorus. NONE OF THE WORDS WERE SPOT ON COPIED. Scott Storch took offense to this as well since he was the one that did the song along with Beyonce. She sued Mathew’s management as well. It wasn’t just Beyonce in this suit - there were 5-6 other people she sued that were defendants.
THE GIRL TRIED TO GET HER VERSION RELEASED AS A SINGLE AND SENT IT TO MATHEW, BUT THEY DIDN’T USE HER VERSION. That’s why she’s suing.
The real culprit in this is Scott Storch with Beyonce being the face of the lawsuit. From what I heard, I still don’t think even Storch blatantly copied her version.
THIS WILL BE THROWN OUT LIKE THE LAST SUIT BECAUSE IT’S NOT THE SAME SONG.

Marion Jones?? Damn, Idk even know what to say about that one. It was really unexpected. I thought she was one of the only ppl on the straight and narrow path.
Beyonce? I remember when they posted the two songs on the internet next to each other and that lady suing her is full of it. The songs are NOTHING a like if you wanna count the words “baby” “oh” and “uh”. Somebody thats just looking for some easy cash. Beyonce need to tell that hoe to sit down.
R.Kelly? Im going to see that man in concert. It’s gonna be the shiznit, especially here in the Chi because this is his hometown and he’s going all out! Forget that trial, I’ll be married and on my 3rd child before R.Kelly goes to trial. It’s just not going to happen and when it does it will be so irrelevant, the judge will prolly just say “F— it.”
Im so done with Foxy! So done!!

He should locked the hell up for doing that crap. At least when Akon grinded on that 14 yr old girl, he apologised for it AND he didnt know she was underage. R Kelly did know the girl wasnt legal and he STILL DID THAT DISGUSTING ACT and then continues to make music AND PROMOTES SEXUALLY EXPLICIT ACTS IN HIS FILTHY, DISTURBING LYRICS. He’s a pervert and a child molester, end of story.

Yes, Marion should have admitted to this long ago, but unlike her male counterparts with huge egos (Floyd Landis, Barry Bonds) she WOMANED up and admitted it- even if forced to do so by her conscience or the law.

for mac users..you already have garageband so do the same silence beyonces track and speed up the lady suing her…you’ll see the same..both products have zoom in capabilities and you can see the sector notes…
As a person who makes beats and writes for other ppl…there are way too many similarities in this for it not be further investigated by a professional in this field.
I produce and can tell you we have a million ways to get around paying for samples..but damn to have this many similarities is a bad job on the part of scott and his team..

How ironic that a bunch of bloggers are talking about Beyonce not being articulate enough to write her own songs when they’re too stupid to understand the article they just read. How about you worry about ya self and your future before you talk about someone else’s. For the slow people: the article states that this was already dismissed once by a judge. That means it might be dismissed again by a jury. All this bitch is doing is trying to get that money. She is just bitter because she can’t blow up the way that other song writers like Ne-Yo have.

You must be bored. Because you were sleeping through your political process class. The reason’s that we have higher courts in this country is to assert that fact that NO LOCAL COURTS OPERATE IN A BUBBLE. And cases can be overturned by higher courts. On an appeal the opposing side HAS TO ANSWER.
Most of “bloggers” are interested in the case. Anyone can have an opinion. I think Beyonce is a great entertainer–but I find it a little curious that this is one of many complaints on copyright enfringement.
Appeals are expensive. Most frivilous claims get dropped at the local level. Home girl must think she has some legal leg to stand on.

It cracks me up when people call Beyonce fans “Stans” - reading through these posts it is obvious why…People either really hate her or really love her - is there no in between?
People, you gotta give Beyonce her props - she’s a talented, beautiful black woman doing her thing! I would hope that any black woman with the same talent and ambition would do just what Beyonce is doing - why the hate? She is not blatantly stepping on/over anybody to get to the top - she’s proven that that is where she deserves to be. You all can praise the likes of R. Kelly, who is a known predator/pedophile for singing “every note at a concert and giving a helluva live performance,” but you cut Beyonce down for doing nothing overtly illegal? Sheesh!
Okay with regard to the infringement - Des’ree sued Beyonce for covering her song - wouldn’t you guys think that it would be the record company’s repsponsibilty to get the required approvals before moving forward with that song. Sure, Beyonce probably said, “I like that song, I’d like to record that song,” but do you seriously think she was responsible for handling the PAPERWORK for that song?
Same with “Baby Boy….” has there been ANY proof that Beyonce knew of this other song before she wrote/recorded Baby Boy? I’ve never seen that anywhere. It’s not like the song was submitted to Beyonce and she said, “I like it but I’ll jack the lyrics and make my own song?”
When I was younger, I SWORE I’d written the lyrics to Ray Charles’ “Hit the Road Jack.” What I didn’t know is that my parents had listened to the song so much when I was younger, that I learned the words/melody without realizing it?
Someone had a very valid point - is any idea EVER completely original, since we are bombarded with so much visual and auditory stimulation everyday? Are you guys so bent on hating Beyonce that you can’t logically think this through?
Ridiculous!

r.kelly is a disgusting human being , he is on tape having sex with a 14 yo and trust me that was him for all the non believers,i think it’s sad that people are still willing to support him, it says alot about us as people.

I love Marion, I have always been a fan and I am truley hurt that this has all came out because now she will most likely be stripped of her medals and records. She could have won those medals without those drugs. This is a prime example of how people around you who are supposed to be supporting you get you involved in the wrong things.
I am so disgusted by R Kelly and I want to see the book handed to him for his crimes. He did it and still refuses to admit that it’s him on tape. Why are we supporting this man? I’m sure everyone has seen the tape by now. That child looked like she was 12 or 13 years old and clueless. When something like this happens we black folks always want to jump on the girl saying she was fast and where was her mother. That may be true, she was fast, but it is so obviously clear in the video that, that little girl was in a situation that she did not want to be in as most “fast little girls” are. He’s a pig who probably can’t satify or handle a grown woman.

I respect Beyonce alot. I consider myself neither a STAN or Hater. Hate impacts karma. A person’s success takes nothing away from anyone. There’s alot of money that circulates in this country everyday. And there’s damn sure more than one way to make a dollar than to sing a song.
With that said, If I’m not mistakin there is TONs of money in song writing. And Bey on most albums represents herself as a company a SONG WRITING ENTITY. And when you are a company you open yourself up to liability, accountability, and certain levels of exposure.
I mean maybe its all a big coincidence. Maybe Bey is psychically (sp) in tune with other writers–and she feels hooks and lyrics people are writing or about to write. Or. Maybe people are taking advantage trying to throw mud at the wall to see what sticks.
I think the truth is always somewhere in the middle. The Houston case (which is the state where her “company” is incorporated was decided on by one local judge. Bey is Houston’s sweetheart, as she should be. So it will be interesting what happens when a jury of a cross sample of the area get to decide.

People, the mere fact that someone sues you does not mean that you did what they said you did. As an attorney, I know that people sue for copyright infringement all the time. This does not mean that Beyonce stole lyrics. This is evident by the fact that the judge has already ruled in Beyonce’s favor. The chances of that rulilng being overruled are slim.
I am curios to know why people think that she doesn’t write her lyrics. I have heard her give credit to those who have written for her or who have co-written with her. I dont think she has ever claimed that she writes absolutely everything herself. So, am I missing something here? Someone, please enlighten me.
As for R.Kelly, I think he has put out some great music but if he really did the crime he should pay for it.

Beyonce wrote Bootylicious and Check On It, the rest of her big hits were penned by other people and she slaps her name on the song after adding “oh, yes” or “oooh baby” as though she is a songwriter.
LET’S NOT FORGET SHE CLAIMED TO WRITE LISTEN AND THE ACADEMY PUT HER IN HER PLACE. Oh, and she also claims to have written “Silent Night” - seriously, look it up on ASCAP!
Some of you all defend her as though she’s paying your rent (she ain’t) and would stab your own mother with a fork to speak up for your “Bey.” Dummies.

R Kelly is talented. Let’s face it, that man has a gift for music. He’s going to h*ll for messing with little girls, but he’s a musical genius none-the-less.

Its funny and sad that R Kelly made that album “You Saved Me”, a GOSPEL ALBUM, in 2004, with a track featuring KIM BURRELL AND KELLY PRICE on one track, and he claims to be a Christian. Next to that he does nasty sexy songs like Snake, I’m A Flirt and Thoia Thoing, in recent years!! The Lord is judging his actions, cause I’m sure that jury wont. Like whowhatwhere wrote earlier, if he molested an underage white girl, he’d be condemned to death. But when it’s an underage black girl they prolly wont care.
How hypocritcal r some people on here? They say they cant wait to see R Kelly in concert, but bash Foxy Brown, saying she belongs in jail and shit. Yeah, she should serve time, don’t get me wrong, but what she’s done isn’t NEARLY as bad as what this guy has done–sex with an underage girl AND he urinated on her. Foxy is just a bit crazy in the head, but R Kelly is sickening. But of course Foxy is the worst according to the general concensus

On a shallow note, I noticed how beautiful and clear her skin was today and how jacked up it was back in the day — I wonder if steroids had anything to do with that? Even worse, word is she has almost none of all that endorsement money left.
I hope Beyonce is somewhere enjoying herself while her lawyers handle this petty lawsuit. If you’re as incredibly successful as she is, somebody somewhere is always trying to sue you. Par for the course for those in the big leagues.

Watching the Marion Jones press conference, I honestly think she is truly and deeply sorry and regretful for her actions. Hey, IMO if she got away taking steroids and performance-enhancing drugs for that long, just imagine how many other athletes might be doing the same thing, past and present, and still get away with it. Marion was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Of course she should be held accountable for her actions, but come on, I do honestly feel some remorse for her and her situation. She is showing some genuine guilt and she made it pretty clear.

I love Marion, do you remember her in the American Express commercial, running along side that car, I fell in love with her immediately. She was so graceful, like a leopard or cheetah. Marion is cute and well I (all respect to the dead) but I didn’t really care for Jackie Joyner Kersee. The nails were too long and she looked dykish.

I co-sign with everything #107, #72, and # 96 said. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it is really sad when some black people are so intent on trying to bring a positive black person down such as Beyonce. Everytime there is a post on Beyonce I always read the same negative things. People are always talking about her hair or how she can’t speak in interviews or how she’s really not all of that. But like some earlier posts said some black people will support a known pedophile like R. Kelly or a jailbird like Lil Kim or Foxy Brown then a black celebrity who is actually doing something positive and you never hear anything bad about. Also like #107 wrote, It kills me when people say Beyonce does not know how to speak in interviews but some of her peers like Keyshia Cole or rap artists can’t string one coherent sentence together.

I hope that R. Kelly does not go without getting punished for his CRIMINAL ACTS OF PEDOPHILIA.
Marion Jones - I knew it, the whole time she was vehemently denying steriod use……I was thinking……..”Boy, she really thinks the world is stupid.”

To me, she was like the venus and serena williams of track. Girl, how gonna do me like this!
I can honestly say Im dissapointed by this but I still got love for her. She still #1 to me even if she is tainted with steroids. Hey, Marion cant do nothing but pray and redeem herself. Sometimes people do things in their life that they regret later on but it is what it is. There is no changing the past but you can still help fix up your future. I believe Marion can do that, cant you Marion??

See, it’s shenanigans like these that cause Black Americans to never be able to get a fair day in court! We all should know that White America believes that if one does it, then all do it!!! SMH………

Marion Jones - very disappointed. She had such promise, and now we figure out its all a lie.
R. Kelly - no cares about this rapist.

Beyonce - is it any surprise? The girl doesn’t know the letter A from Q. And she’s dumb.

what made her come clean all of a sudden?? she had been lying all these years. i believe someone knew about her little scam and threatend to rat her out. so she did it herself. it would sound better coming from marion than someone else. but she could have kept that to herself. who really cared??

People don’t be fooled, there is nothing noble about Marion Jones coming clean right now. Her baby’s father, Tim Montgomery has already pled guilty to steriods and money laundering/bad check scheming. And he testified against their Coach Steve Riddick and was going to testify against Marion as well. She was probably worried about what else Tim might reveal during a trial. I mean she not only admitted the steriod use, she is also pleading guilty to the check scheming as well.
So even if “everybody” is doing the steriods, is everybody money laundering and check scheming? Sorry - she’s a liar and a crook.
Can’t really take her apology so seriously because she has been lying for the past 7 years, how do we know she’s not lying now?
I do hope she will be redeemed - she has a son to raise, so she’ll take the hit ..maybe 6 months max, and get back to trying to get her life back together.

I will attend any concert R. Kelly gives…and will continue to support him until the judge bangs his gabble and says “you have been found guilty by a jury of your peers.” It’s just my feeling, I refuse to convict someone because some people FEEL he’s guilty. I don’t watch so called “child porn” so if there is a tape out there with him having sex with a child, i would never watch it…and smh at the niggas that did, and then got the damn audacity to come on here and blast people for going to his concert, but your ass sat up and watched a damn kiddie porn tape, and probably watched the whole damn tape all the way through, rewinding and shit, pausing and zooming in to boot, which by the way is fuckin illegal to watch, so you should take your asses to jail too…this is not just about R. Kelly, i just feel strongly about someone convicting people outside of the legal system, unless your name is “judge and jury”, your opinion outside of trial of whether someone is guilty or not holds no weight at all with me…..what the fuck ever! Moving the fuck on!
P.S., if there is anyone on this site who was molested as a child, or has a child who has been molested, or who is just sensitive to this type of issue, i completely understand your disgust of him, and i don’t mean to come off callous…but if R. Kelly was accused of murder, i would have this same argument…it’s not about the type of crime, it’s about pronouncing someone guilty outside of a trial, is where i take issue. If tomorrow they a court find him guilty, i would no longer support him, and i would share your disdain…that day has not come.

This is some crap. Don’t matter if she wrote it or not. She is still the top female entertainer. As far as the suit..pfffft. The judge dismissed it and now she’s appealing. Isn’t that what mofo’s do after the been found guilty and swear up and down they are innocent? Folk who get put on death row get an automatic appeal..don’t mean shit.
But yeah…Bey has alot of haters. Not callin any one person in particular a hater…but if the shoe fits, Throw them mofo’s on and run laps in them bishes.

I saw the case with Jones on the news earlier this afternoon and think it sucks that she would work so hard to achieve all that she has and give it up. Regardless of what she did to win, she still won. Even tho she was taking performance enhancing drugs it was more of her mentally wanting it.

beyonce writes some stuff and doesnt right some stuff. Every single artist is like that. Name ONE artist who has ever written every single song they have ever recorded. at least if she stole it she still managed to change up the lyrics(which most likely included her writing something). Beyonce wrote “Dangerously In Love” all by her self when she was 17. and the lyrics in tht song are the best of all her songs which lets u know tht she Can write!

Okay, what the hell does someone stealing a damn song has to do with hatin on someone…a thief is a thief……if beyonce shot someone in front of hundreds of people, and she got sent to jail, i swear you all would say “they only sent her to jail cause they hatin on her.” WTF..how bout beyonce has been caught lying, claiming shit was hers, and then only giving credit to the real author of the song because she got caught in her lies, cause the real person (neyo) was not about to let her take credit for his song….if he’d never admitted he wrote it, beyonce would still be running her ass around, claiming that song as hers, as she did in concert, when she announced she wrote irreplaceable for all the ladies….how bout she’s a thief…guess that aint possible….and anyone close to accusing her of stealing is simply a hater….bullshit, and you can shut that noise down.
A clue: a hater is a person who makes personal attacks on a celebrity, such as appearance wise, or talk about something none related to the subject…..now that might be a hater, and then again, it might not…please stop accusing people of being a hater simply for stating their opinion on the TOPIC AT HAND.

RE: Marion Jones…
I believe most if not all the top athletes take some type of performance enhancing drug! Sure I believe these people have natural born talent in their sport but how do u compete at that level when the 7 other people on the track running with u are cheating too.
Flo Jo….the baddest in the game…..
Does anyone really believe that she died of heart failure in her sleep in her 30’s even though she was healthy? Come on! Thats years of steroid use that killed her.
Or a grown man that has acne. like Carl Thomas? Whatever
My uncle is a track and field olympic gold medalist and he admitted to steriod use and said….. anyone at the olympic level who says they have NEVER taken anything is lying. Its part of the game now! There is too much money involved not to! Its not just about the medals anymore but millions of dollars in endorsement deals. The love of money truly is the root of all evils! Marion better pray she does not drop dead in her 30’s like Flo or develop cancer, etc. Jail, public disgrace and bankruptcy is the least of her problems IMO.
Marion just got caught…..just like Ben Johnson.

I was a college athlete and I am not making any excuses for her. But when you get to a certian level you are under so much pressure to achieve, to be the best. And at that time in your life you are still really a kid. What she did was wrong, I just understand the desire she had, on top of all the expectations that others have of you.

you are a hypocrite ,how are u gonna sit up here and say all that bullshit about guilty ass r.kelly being innocent until proven otherwise by a judge and jury, but beyonce won her case, i’m not saying she is totally innocent but anything we think is purely speculation…so why is it that she can’t get the benefit of the doubt like mr molesting ass kelly, and for the record alot of people say that tape and i’m quite sure people only watched it because when all that crap came to light people could’nt believe that he would do something like that, and wanted to know if that was really him nothing more nothing less, stop trying to turn it around on other people . you are trying to justify why you like a sick pervert, i bet if that was your daughter or niece you would be singing a different tune.

@152 jscene, well how come so many people on this blog are freely calling Brandy a MURDERER for an accident and she’s not even had her trial yet? Probably cause shes a black woman, and they’re apparently easier to bash and criticise than a black man
And no, I didnt watch Kels’ disgusting sex tape and I never will. I’ve just heard about what he did in it, and thats all I wanna know, because it sounds vile and vulgar.
If this was a white girl in the tape, mainstream white America would have convicted his ass a long time ago, but since it’s a black girl, no-one cares. Racist white ppl in powerful positions dont care about the lives of blacks, even if it’s their duty to protect all US citizens, and the ignorant black folks (SOME OF US, OBVIOUSLY NOT ALL OF US) would probably worringly support R Kelly, as they already see black females as objects you can expolit and degrade.

Beyonce will probably write on odd verse or the occasional lyrics. C’mon she aint smart enough to be writing anything like Irreplaceable. Bootylicious I can see, since her illiterate self had to make up a word like that.
Maybe the Knowles family should have kept her in high school instead of taking her out. Perhaps then she would have been a better speaker and wouldn’t sound like such a ditz.
She just leaves all her finances and legal issues to the experts around her.

@162
You need to either read, get hooked on phonics, or but your damn glasses on. I did give beyonce the benefit of the doubt, i did not say she was guilty on THIS PARTICULAR song, but i did say she has been caught telling lies that she’s written things, and then later admitting someone else wrote it like in the case of irreplaceable. She was caught on tape saying she wrote that song, then later in interviews like when she was on cnn, she admitted neyo wrote it, of course that came after the firestorm of neyo coming forward saying he actually wrote it…SO THAT MAKES HER A LIAR AND A THIEF for trying to take credit from something she know damn well she didnt do; THAT’S BEEN PROVEN….now as far as this particular song, don’t know, and said that in my post….so please stop adding shit just cause you didn’t like what i said….if you don’t agree, take it with a grain and salt and keep stepping, trust, i won’t be offended, there’s alot of beyonce ass kissers on this site that would probably take a bullet for her ass….and as far as if it was my daughter in the case of r. kelly, umm, if she took her little hot tail ass up to some celebrity and wanted to sleep with them and got in over her head, that’s on her, and i would do what i had to do to help her deal, but i doubt if that chick is feeling raped…..she’s probably going around bragging about that…you people seem to be taking worst than anyone…it’s rape because she was underage, but from all sources, she seemed to have been a willing participant, as with a lot of the groupies that hang around the celebrities, alot of them are underage, and if you try to throw them out of the club, concert, or lounge, they would scratch your damn eyes out, curse you out, and would be trying their best to put a bullet in your head with you trying to keep them from their man, i don’t condon this, but it is what it is…this shit can get nipped in the bud at home, not the criminal justice system, they are predators out there that are willing always, and if they get a willing participant, the shit is on and poppin. it wasn’t like kelly was driving around in his car, kidnappng children, lying, enticing them with free candy and cd’s, and the indictment didn’t say he was snatching children off the street…but i’m not putting this case on trial, i’ll leave that up to the criminal justice system..my opinion or yours has no weight here…….so, until then, i am front and center at his concerts…
@shonni
Nope, i’m not, but i did think you would take it that way because of course, we’re all just haters for telling the truth…lol. Like i said, what does her taking credit for shit she didn’t do got to do with people hating on her…either answer that question, or keep your very juvenile statements to yourself.
@165 greatestloveofall
I agree with the brandy situation, and i had the same argument with her; she has not been found guilty of shit, neither has she been ticketed for anything relating to that incident; so in my book, she’s innocent until she’s proven guilty of something. People want to say i’m just trying to make excuses for r. kelly, but i said the same thing about brandy and other celebrities who people came out and judged before they even got indicted, much less went to trial….just stupidity to me.

^^^^ Wow I think you’re a Beyonce stan and don’t even realize it b/c who the hell writes a million essays about someone they claim not to like or who would get so emotional over ppl’s damn opinions. U and Greatestloveofall both sound pathetic and jealous as hell especially Greatestloveofall w/ her racist comments about light-skinned women. Mya is light-skinned and she ain’t been that successful so that proves that Beyonce has been successful b/c she acutally has TALENT unlike some ppl.
And for the record on the Irreplacable thing. Ya’ll obviously don’t pay attention. NEYO said HIMSELF on bet that he and Bey co-wrote the song TOGETHER. He wrote most of the lyrics and she added some ad-libs and stuff and he said that makes it a CO-WRITE so she CAN say that she wrote it. She works w/ so many ppl that she just forgot to mention that Neyo wrote it too. I doubt it was intentional b/c they’re friends. So she is NOT a liar no matter how bad some of ya’ll hallucinate b/c she has not been PROVEN as a liar. She’s won all lawsuits and nobody has any proof to prove she doesn’t write her own stuff. Bootylicious is in the dictionary so she made history. And she won ASCAP songwriter of the year and was the 1 AA female to do so and some of ya’ll can pray and hope and dream but BEYONCE OBVIOUSLY AIN’T GOING NOWHERE b/c she’s still on top after 10 whole yrs. I feel bad for those who don’t like her b/c u r gonna see or hear her everyday for a long time. Get over it.

@ getreal I agree w/ u 100 percent. Neyo did say that so that means that neyo and bey wrote irreplacable together.

Thank you whowhat were. This is the truth, r.kelly is only messing with black girls, yet BLACK people still supporting him AND you KNOW if this has been white man we’d be all over him. This is disgusting…each and every one of you who acknowledge that you believe he did it AND STILL want to support him…shameful.

BY WHOWHATWHERE
R. Kelly is only molesting black girls, that’s why he is able to continue his career. The saddest thing about this whole mess is that black people continue to support him, how pathetic. I heard this news report how he was out here in Florida and was caught with child pornography in his hotel suite but wasn’t charged because the evidence was seized illegally and that he paid three separate people to settle their cases against him. I swear some black people could be standing in the room with him watching and still say he is innocent. very sad!
