AWARENESS: COMMUNITY OF VETERANS / MTV STAYING ALIVE T-SHIRT LAUNCH / CORNEL WEST HONORS BIG BOI / LEXUS’ ARRIVING IN STYLE EVENT
Monday, December 15, 2008
Check out the PSA announcing CommunityofVeterans.org, the first online social network exclusively for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, join the veterans-only online community to connect with people who know where you’re coming from. Share your experiences and help others make the transition to civilian life.
MTV STAYING ALIVE T-SHIRT LAUNCH

CL favorite Kid Sister recently hosted MTV’s Staying Alive Foundation T-Shirt Launch. The organization partnered with designer label Trovata who designed a t-shirt currently selling at Urban Outfitters and the MTV Store with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Staying Alive Foundation, which gives grants to young people around the world working on AIDS/HIV prevention.
CORNEL WEST HONORS BIG BOI
Dr. Cornell West, one of the most prolific minds of our time, honors Antwan “Big Boi” Patton, one of the most prolific voices of our time, with the 2008 Renaissance Award at the 20th Anniversary of the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta.
Shoutout to Tory at Urban News Network for the info.
LEXUS’S ARRIVING IN STYLE EVENT

Holly Robinson Peete and fashion designer Kevan Hall co-hosted “Arriving in Style,” presented by Lexus, at the Reagan Center in DC. The cocktail reception preceded a private showing of Kevan Hall’s 2009 Spring Collection and benefited hollyrod4kids, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for underserved children.
Cathy Hughes, founder of Radio One and TV One, and Dr. Michael Eric Dyson were both in attendance to help support this great cause.

Thanks for the Community of Vets link. It’s is well put together. That’s actually my job too. I assist veterans with making their transition from the military to civilian life. I work closely with our VA hospitals, Vets Centers and community outreach centers to provide the services they need. The site is an excellent source of information and filled with useful tips and resources. I forwarded the link to those who work with me and we will make sure our nation’s heroes get the information about the site.
I just wanted to thank you myself. As a vet and a member of this site.
Keep that good infomation coming. Peace in the Middle East.

Where u guys aware that Dr. Michael Eric Dyson has a brother serving life w/o the possiblity of parole in prison and of course its not a reflection of him and I’m not saying it as such. Just shows how kids in the same household raised by the same parents take on different paths in life.

I don’t care for it much after being spoiled by YBF, but I do what I can : ) If they could keep ish going around these parts I might actually like this site. I don’t know much about who runs it but they are SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW with the news..

Ummmmmmm Did someone forgot to pay their bills. NO NEW POST. WTF. What a way to start the new year..Isn’t Rihanna doing something today. NOT A GOOD LOOK. And i’m not even kidding. Not even somthing explaining the reason why you guys aren’t updating the site. You try to support black business and you get Sh!t product. What would happen if you go over to People.com and there site not updated for 3 days. I’m sure atleast an explanation will be given..SAD.

yall better stop mentioning other sites CL may ban you! I knew you guys would be discussing this. I was wondering if my work computer was acting up or if it really has been a couple days since a post….I gotta be careful my job already banned facebook. I guess the good thing for me is that there aren’t many blacks at my job so there isn’t really much activity on this website for it to be flagged by IT (as I am crossing my fingers).

I am glad Rihanna switched up her image because we all know everyone from Jlo Beyonce Solange Ashanti and C. Mili where carbon copies of each other. Although, I will be getting my lace front.

This is for the person asking about album sales:
In a week without a top 10 debut, Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” reclaims the top spot on The Billboard 200, inching up 2-1 thanks to a 29% sales increase to 249,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
“Fearless” debuted at No. 1 five weeks ago with 592,000 and has shifted 1.5 million so far. Last week’s chart-topper, Britney Spears’ Jive set “Circus,” falls to No. 2 with 200,000 (-60%). Beyonce’s “I Am … Sasha Fierce” (Music World/Columbia) holds tight at No. 3 for a second week on a 4% increase to 159,000. With a 17% increase to 156,000, Nickelback’s “Dark Horse” (Roadrunner) ascends 5-4.
The Chop Shop/Atlantic soundtrack to “Twilight” climbs 6-5 with 132,000 (-1%) as Kanye West’s “808s & Heartbreak” (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam) slips 4-6 with 127,000 (-10%). Rebounding 9-7 on a 27% sales boost, the multi-label hits compilation “Now 29″ moves 114,000 units. AC/DC’s Wal-mart exclusive album “Black Ice” (Columbia) re-enters the top tier 11-8 on a 30% sales increase to 110,000.
The soundtrack to Disney’s “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” falls 8-9 despite an 18% sales boost to 107,000. David Cook’s self-titled 19 Recordings/RCA debut rounds out the top 10, staying put at No. 10 with 104,000 (+19%).
Music Soulchild’s “onmyradio” (Atlantic) debuts at No. 11 with 91,000 copies. The soul/R&B singer has two prior No. 1s, including 2007’s “Luvanmusiq.”
Entering at No. 12 is Common’s “Universal Mind Control” with 82,000. The G.O.O.D./Geffen set comes on the heels of the rapper’s 2007 album “Finding Forever,” which peaked at No. 1.
Other debuts this week include Brandy’s Koch/Epic set “Human” at No. 15 with 73,000 and Avant’s fifth, self-titled album from Capitol at No. 26 with 52,000.

Akon weighs in on the Lady GaGa vs. Christina Aguilera comparisons. “I definitely feel that Christina Aguilera is very inspired by Lady GaGa. It’s almost identical,” he tells Rap-Up TV about Christina’s uncanny resemblance to his Konlive artist, who currently has a top 5 hit with “Just Dance.” “She was never doing that before Lady GaGa came out.” Plus, he gives us the scoop on signing TLC’s Chilli to his label and the possibility of a Grammy for his camp. Do you agree/disagree. Thanks rap-up.com

Kanye album is cool, but, I can’t listen to it every day. It’s too depressing.

Anyone friends with Brian, Angel or Tiana on myspace???? Ask them on there!!! One of my posts was deleted from yesterday so someone is updating something….Either because I cursed and said the f-word or because I talked about a blogger who has beef with this blog…but it WAS deleted. I posted twice yesterday and there is only 1 of my posts here today….ANYWHO….
Those album sales are good this week. Taylor Swift is kicking some major butt!!! And Beyonce is well over 1 million copies sold..not bad at all Ms. Fierce!
LeToya Luckett’s new single is called “Not Anymore” it is written by Ne-Yo…said to be a certifed banger. New album comes in stores March 24th…
