america is too obsessed with celebrities. freakin celeb dies and everybody on messageboards rip’ing like a mofo. it’s ridiculous. people gonna die everyday. if he wasn’t a celeb we wouldn’t give a rat’s tail about him. we need to prioritize and focus on self and building health and wealth and stop bally-hooing over celebrities are simply employed humans just like every other working class member of society. who gives shiiiit he died? oh well, don’t mean to come off jerky but I don’t care. I didn’t know him. no personal connection to him whatsoever. don’t care he was a great actor because he had absolutely no impact on my life. keeping it moving.

Montel is sooo right (more focus should be geared towards soldiers in Iraq). The media really went to far covering Heath’s death. Heath is a great actor and yes his death was shocking, but they should of left his family and friends alone.

I’m with Montel on this one. I am too sick of hearing about Heath Ledger. He left his daughter with no father. Shame on him.

As of 1/28/08, 35 troops have died since the top of the year. Total so far is 3941.

i totally agree..although its sad and tragic but everytime u turn the channel its on the tv guide channel for petes sake damn!! i bet u we know more about heath than the war in iraq..about him, that daughter, and his ex wife from dawson’s creek…i also believe if it were taye diggs or will smith..hell even denzel for that matter it would be mentioned and thats it not weeks of coverage…honestly i feel for his family but i didnt even know who he was i mean i heard that name before..i figured out who he was from one of his first movies (10 things i hate about u) america’s priorities are definitely messed up..im so sick of BRITNEY SPEARS…i mean come on…if they could find out wat color her shit is it would be all over cnn and every damn channel…can we hear more about barak obama, and the starving kids in africa…

[...] sealed when a number of FOX-owed stations decided against renewing the show for another year (could it be because of what he said over the weekend?). Show production will continue through the rest of this season so new episodes should air for some [...]

Montel will always be the man… It is time for him to transition into another area anyway, and no doubt with his talent, he will do extremely well with whatever he chooses to do.

I like Cocrete Loop I think it is entertaining and informative. I feel that the media focuses on sensationalizing the pettiest things the white celebs do and do not accurately or fairly cover real issues. Raise your hand if you lost sleep cuz Paris went to jail! (NOT) I could care less if Britney spoke spanish or had sex with an animal.She is fronting and it is so obvious! She is playing a stupid game and unfortunately her kids may suffer. I bet if the paparazzi/media stopped following her daily and ignored her antics she would “suddenly” be “normal” or sober or whatever….Yall know if it was somebody like Ashanti acting like that we wouldn’t see or hear a darn thing it wouldn’t be covered on CNN or no outlet like that. I appreciate CL for keeping it real and keeping me informed on the comings and goings in Black entertainment and other issues that are important to me.

Thanks Angel and Staff Big ups to all ya’ll! Other blogs could learn from u!

The american troops gonna stay in IRAQ for a long time.
Obama is the one who save america.

Iam glad his show is going off the air and if he wants to talk about troops , talk about it with the President and Congress who is causing 28 troops to die each yr, Iam sick of hearing about the war and Heath death…

I Hate Montel..Im Glad His Show Is Being Cancelled!!!! He Always Think He’s Right. And Yeah It’s Sad The Troops Have Died, But What do You Expect To Happen?? We’re At War..Shit I Wouldn’t Even Be Over There Fighting Such A Bulshit War…Everyone Who Goes Over TO Iraq Knows What To Expect..I Guess America Has Just Gotten Numb To The Whole Situation. And A lot of People Would Ask How’d I Feel If I Had Fam Out There…First Of All, I’d Just Be Prepared For The Worst.

I wanted to draw your attention to the “Help Keep Montel Williams on the Air” petition.
http://www.ipetitions.com.../Keep-Montel-on-the-air?e and, if you would like him to continue, I’d like to encourage you to add your signature. It’s free and takes less than a minute.

We need Montel. He is possibly the only talk show host/media outlet that’s on our side. He’s not for the government or the media or himself. He is for the people and cares about us all. We need someone like him to connect people and media. He is one of the smartest, most down to earth, caring people on TV. His show is the only talk show i would ever watch. Every other talk show is crap. I really hope Montel is able to get back on the air. This whole situation just shows what kind of stuff the American population has to deal with and we need someone like him to fight for us and the TRUTH
