Juicy Gossip

1) What Is The Problem Here? - I have been reading articles lately on O.J. Simpson's book that is due out soon. People are speculating that this is a confession from the once popular football player. Somehow we will not let sleeping dogs lie. I don't mean to be harsh but this is purely racial, as it has always been. If that had been a Black, Latino or Asian woman who had been murdered, we wouldn't have had so much coverage. His publisher (the publisher of his book -- no less) calls it a confession. Who asked her opinion? She must have thought highly of it to publish it since it is very hard to get a book published by a top publishing house. And now several stations will not be airing his interview, stating that they will not give Simpson that hype. Que? So, we will devote hours to poorly written dramas and comedies that yield low ratings but we do not want to tune into the interview. I am surprised that many stations opted not to air it on the 27th. I guess they'd feel like they'd be endorsing Simpson. They won't let that man alone. I guess it's because he's Black, what else could be the reason? People commit stuff all day long and go scot free and yet here we are once again revisiting the subject of his wife and her lover's murders. How often do we hear them discussing Till's murder or when they beat Rodney King? Why don't we revisit such issues that pertain to our nation such as why we are still at war, why there is so much filth and garbage on tv, why we aren't doing anything about North Korea, and why people will pay so much @ the movies to see such farces as Borat?

2) Beef, Chicken, Veal & Pork - Ahh, another beef between rappers. Start the presses! Stop the madness! Rebuke the devil! Get these people free of this foolishness. Jim Jones & Jigga Man r beefin. They need to sit down and rap their raps and let the dough roll in. This publicity of course, does increase their album sales. But isn't beef what caused Biggie and Pac to get clocked or was it lamb,no? Fish? Oysters? Jim and Hov need 2 take some chill pills and cool out.

3) Tom & Kat's Wedding - Let us rejoice and be glad that they married in a castle, with black cats (now, there weren't cats but there could have been), lighted candles, an aura of affinity and many scientology rituals. I was delighted to learn that scientology is so bewitching, and how it relates to reality and how the universe is full of aliens and you can pay to advance in levels or something like that. Not my cup of tea. Guess who wasn't there according to a Cali radio station, Ms. Winfrey. She apparently offended Cruise and he decided not to send her an invitation. What a loss! And I thought they were comrades. Amigos. As Atlantic Starr sings "Closer Than Close." And now there is buzz on what's next. Whatever it is, I am sure Star magazine will let you know or maybe Oprah will discuss it with Tom whenever he comes on her show again, which may not be anytime soon.

4) Unk's Walk It Out /Hip Hop Awards on BET- "Walk It Out" is a 3 minute dance song, which is not bad. Kind of catchy, kind of ignorant, but yet tolerable. He did a good performance on the Hip Hop Awards, which was ghetto 2 da bone btw. I'm for the Blackness and the uniqueness of our race but......we need some grown professionals. 30 & 40 yr olds need 2 dress a lil mo classy. Kat Williams was funny as he usually is. I wonder who will host is next yr. They need 2 get Lavelle Crawford to do it or Cedric The Entertainer.

Life has many parts, as for me and mine, I'm gonna keep them to myself.
