T.I. Talks About Retirement

Although extremely successful in the rap industry, T.I does not seem to be putting all his eggs in one basket.

A while back he told fans he would not be rapping when he is middle aged, and recently he told Complex Magazine a bit more detail about his future plans.

Quote:

I’m kickin’ 30 down this year, so it’s about time to start thinking about an exit strategy. I’m not saying this is my last album or the next album is my last album, but I don’t see myself rapping for 10 or 20 more years

It can be done, but at the same time, Jay-Z’s method is for Jay. I ain’t seen nobody else take that model and use it to their advantage. If I do rap at Jay and Eminem’s age, I’m taking away from all the other opportunities that I have. I want to have an Oscar by then. I want to have made my mark in film as a producer and actor by the time I’m Jay’s or Eminem’s age.

Ps: In case you are wondering, Jay is 40 and Eminem is 37.

Jennifer Aniston Gets Stalked

As a kid who grew up in the era of Barney and Power Rangers, I know that celebrity stalkers are no laughing matter. Unless the stalker is a mime. Then it’s hilarious. Especially when they stalk while pretending to be trapped in an invisible box. Inexplicable mega-star Jennifer Aniston is the latest victim of Hollywood stalkerdom, and although her perpetrator doesn’t wear a striped shirt and suspenders, he’s still pretty colorful. From the LA Times (via Celebitchy):

Jennifer Aniston has been granted a restraining order against a stalker suspect who’d driven cross-country to be with her in a car that had messages including “I love Jennifer Aniston” and “I love you Jennifer Aniston” carved into its hood and driver’s side door.

Unable to locate the actress’ home address, Jason R. Peyton was arrested July 15 on Sunset Boulevard hanging out and looking for her near businesses he believes she frequents. He was placed on a psychiatric hold, according to documents obtained by TMZ.

He was, the documents said, found “laying-in-wait” for Aniston in possession of …

… a sharp object, a roll of duct tape and written messages to the actress — including baby names for the child he hoped they’d have together. He allegedly believes he’s been secretly mentally communicating with her for two years.
Peyton’s parents reported him missing after he took off from his Pennsylvania around June 25, leaving a note that said he was going to California; he called his mother while he was on the road, and she contacted L.A. police after he told her he was “on a mission to go to Jennifer Aniston” and that she would “hear about it on the news.”

Also, police found “Mr. Jennifer Aniston. Mr. and Mrs. Aniston. Jason R. Peyton-Aniston. Jennifer Aniston Payton the First” written in sparkle pen in the back of his Charmkins diary. Allegedly, he drew hearts.

This is a picture of Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber is sixteen years old. He spends his days sorting through piles of fan mail from millions of females who want to have intercourse with him, then Usher gives him a huge pile of money, then he gets in the Lamborghini that he owns and goes out for some Cookies & ice cream with a friend.

New York City police say they have arrested rapper-actor Ice-T on accusations of driving with a suspended licence.

Police say the entertainer was driving a 2009 Cadillac near West 40th Street and 11th Avenue on Tuesday (local time) when officers stopped him for not wearing a seat belt. They said they ran a check and discovered his licence was suspended.

The NYPD said he would be given a ticket and released.

Ice-T denied wrongdoing via Twitter. He says he has a valid New Jersey licence and calls the police’s allegations against him a “lie.”

The actor has played Detective Fin Tutuola on the TV drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit since 2000.

Taylor Swift will be making a Diss album

by Charles Christmas ( The Owner ) on July 22, 2010 · 0 comments

Taylor Swift, who sold millions of records detailing the agonies of adolescence, said her third album will be a “conceptual” release directed at specific people she met during her dizzying ascent to stardom in the past two years.

“In life you have a lot of situations that pop up and people come into your life and sometimes you don’t get to tell them what you wish you would have told them,” the 20-year-old singer/songwriter told fans during an internet broadcast.

“This album is my opportunity to do that. Track by track, each song is a different confession to a different person.”

The aptly titled “Speak Now” will come out worldwide on October 25 through Nashville-based independent label Big Machine Records.

Swift said the first single – “Mine” to be released on August 16 – was a song of hope inspired by her recent tendency to run from love.

“I’m never ever going to go past hoping that love can work out,” she said.

For the first time, Swift wrote all of the songs herself and she produced the album with Nathan Chapman, who produced her previous releases. An extensive world tour will follow, she said, although dates have not yet been disclosed.

Swift is helping to keep the lights on in the ailing music business. She was the top-selling artist in the United States in 2008 and No. 2 last year behind Michael Jackson, according to tracking firm Nielsen SoundScan.

Swift also boasted the No. 4 North American tour during the first half of 2010, according to trade publication Pollstar.

Her previous album “Fearless,” whose songs she either wrote or co-wrote, has sold 5.9 million copies in the United States since its release in November 2008, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

It yielded four Grammy awards in January, including album of the year, making Swift the youngest winner of the music industry’s top prize.

Her self-titled 2006 debut, which has sold 4.8 million copies, and her second album are still in the US charts.

Lindsay Lohan has been crying in jail as she struggles to adjust.

The actress was sentenced to 90 days in prison and 90 days in rehab earlier this month, after she violated the terms of her probation. She was handed the sentence after failing to attend enough of her alcohol education classes as part of her 2007 conviction for Driving Under the Influence (DUI).

Lindsay surrendered at a Beverly Hills court yesterday, and was led away in handcuffs. Her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley has been to visit her at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, and says she is struggling to cope.

“Understandably, Lindsay’s having a difficult time adjusting as it would be for anyone,” Shawn said. “She’s trying to make the necessary adjustments to an extremely stressful and difficult situation. There were some tears.”

Lindsay is expected to serve around two weeks of her sentence. She is being kept away from the prison’s general population, and will spend 22 hours a day alone in a 12ft. by 8ft. cell. Reality television star Alexis Neiers, who is serving 180 days inside after pleading no contest in relation to a charge of burglary of Orlando Bloom’s home, is in the cell next to Lindsay. Paris Hilton stayed in Alexis’ cell when she was incarcerated in 2007.

“Generally, the first two days in jail are the most difficult. I just kept reminding her of that. She’s doing the best she can,” Shawn added to People magazine. “Her spirits aren’t high but I spoke to some of the deputies and they said Lindsay’s reaction is the same as anyone in her situation.”

Mel Gibson is fighting back against his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva by having the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department investigate her alleged attempt to extort the actor. Read more on the latest in the Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva drama below.

Mel Gibson’s attorney reportedly met with L.A. Country sheriff’s deputies yesterday to show evidence that Grigorieva was trying to extort millions from Gibson.

The evidence must have been substantial because the sheriff’s department is investigating the allegations. Oksana may even be investigated for making false claims.

Grigorieva is said to have wanted $10 million to keep her from releasing the audio tapes.

“It is starting to look more and more like a good old-fashioned shake down for money,” Hollywood image consultant, Michael Sands said. “We all know Mel is a childish name caller as those tapes have proved, but that’s very different to being a violent monster. Something just isn’t right here.”

Lindsay Lohan In Same Jail As Bling Ring Suspect Alexis Neiers

in NEWS

Actress Lindsay Lohan is reportedly a cell block neighbor to reality TV personality and “Bling Ring” suspect that stole from Lohan, Alexis Neiers. Read more on this story below.

Lindsay Lohan is serving her 90-day sentence (which will probably only be two weeks) for violating her DUI probation at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California.

Alexis Neiers began serving her 180-day sentence last month after pleading no contest to a first-degree residential burglary charge of actor Orlando Bloom’s home. Neiers is also accused of breaking into Lindsay Lohan’s Hollywood Hills home.

The two women probably won’t come face-to-face as Lohan will be isolated in the 2,200-bed facility’s special needs unit for safety reason.

Lohan could be released just in time for the premiere of her movie “Machete,” where Lohan plays a nun.

On Tuesday, the NAACP had to retract their statements that condemned Shirley Sherrod, who is now the former Director for Rural Development in the state of Georgia for statements she made at a NAACP event in March of 2010. Ms. Sherrod resigned from her position when a Fox news web publisher, Andrew Breilbart posted snippets of this video which when craftily edited, made Sherrod out to be a black woman in a position of power who exhibited “institutional racism” against a white farmer. She told a story about how it weighed heavy on her heart to help this white farmer who felt that he was superior to her because of her experience as a black woman and our struggle as black people on a whole when it comes to land ownership and entitlement.

Sherrod, whose father was murdered at the hands of a white man during the civil rights movement, told the audience a most humble and heart felt story about the commitment she made on the eve of his untimely death, which dealt with helping black people change for the better. Her level of commitment has changed for the better over the 45 years in service she has afforded the state of Georgia, and one of the turning points in her decisions to broaden her commitment horizons was when she encountered a poor white farmer in the 1980’s who desperately needed her help when he faced losing his farm. During the speech, she wholly admits to at first not helping him with “full force”, until she came to the realization that “the struggle is really about poor people, those who have and those who don’t”.  She said that she had taken him to a white lawyer to deal with his issue because she felt that in the hands of his people, he’d be treated with care and concern, little did she know the same lawyer, whom this poor farmer had paid for months (which really set Sherrod off) came out and told a man who was losing his farm that he was getting too old and maybe he should just give the farm up. With that came Sherrod’s epiphany: she exhausted every resource she had and the farmer was able to keep his farm.

What blows me away is this; The NAACP was one of the first to give backlash about Sherrod’s statements without even viewing the FULL video. Now I have seen white people idolize child molesters, pacify incestuous behavior, and support all their habits with astronomically high record sales, can you say Jerry Lee Louis? If they can do that, then why on God’s green earth couldn’t ANYONE at the NAACP give Sherrod the benefit of the doubt? NAACP President Benjamin Jealous should be really embarrassed for letting his organization have a hand in taunting this teaching moment in time. If someone would have had faith in their people, maybe they wouldn’t have jumped the gun so fast. Now this woman has no job, and an apology at this point is a day late and a dollar short! It is understandable that the NAACP would never endorse her first intention, which by the way wasn’t the end result of the story Sherrod told was to use institutional racism against this farmer, but to not even attempt to vouch for a woman who they chose to speak to their chapter is totally ridiculous! They gave this woman, a civil rights pioneer in her own right, a hearty slap in the face instead of guarding her against the very injustices that they are up against every day.

Huge Review

by Charles Christmas ( The Owner ) on July 21, 2010 · 0 comments

in tv

Last night’s episode of Huge focused a lot of attention on boundaries.

Some of the more guarded characters (Will, Amber, and Dr. Rand) cope with interlopers invading their private spaces. The forced exposure of “Talent Night” revealed more than hidden talents from these characters, leading to either more firmly established boundaries or a slight lowering of those strongly guarded fences.

Dr. Rand’s idea to grow closer to her father by working together seems to be effective, though not in a way she expected. His constant presence has interrupted her usual routines, making her break her steadfast eating rules (damn destructive midnight muffin) and broken through some of her fences.

Uncomfortable with both his intervention (calling her “Dot” in front of strangers) and also with people’s perception of her as a bit domineering and somber, Dr. Rand struggles with figuring out where her boundaries lie, both internally and externally. READ THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE
