Comedian Kevin Hart came under fire today because of some comments he made on twitter about light skinned/ dark skinned women. He came to my show on 107.5 WBLS to try and explain himself. So what do you think??? Did he go too far? or is it JUST COMEDY??? Check the twitter below….
Chris Brown is still airing out his frustration with record retailers via his twitter account. He released this rant on Saturday:
“JUST WAS AT WALMART IN wallingford CT,844 north colony.. the didnt even have my album in the back… not on shelves, saw for myself. We talked to the managers and the didnt even know anything. wow!!! but they had alicia keys album ready for release for this tuesday comin. the manager told me that when there are new releases its mandatory to put em on the shelves.. BUT NO SIGN OF #GRAFFITI. BS no disprespect to alicia at all.. just givin an example to whos album is loaded and ready to go next week.”
The message followed this one from a few days ago….
“im tired of this sh*t. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the f*ck do i gotta do…,” he wrote Friday (December 11). “WTF… yeah i said it and i aint retracting sh*t im not biting my tongue about sh*t else… the industry can kiss my a** thx again to my real fans. u dont go unnoticed. love yall.”
Be still my beating heart!!!!! 50 Cent released a rated X clip from his movie “Before I Self Destruct”. If you’re under 18 you must exit this page immediately. LOLOLOL…as if!! That will only make you want to watch it more. Anyhoo, the clip involves 50 bangin the tropic thunder out of some Brazilian chick while in the shower. We were debating whether or not the sex was simulated or real in this movie. I think it was THE REAL DEAL HOLYFIELD!! What do you think?
You can add Diddy to the list of hacked celebrity Twitter accounts!
Yesterday someone hacked into Diddy’s account and tweeted to his followers to go cop your new Verizon cellphone at the Tribeca store. Shortly after, Diddy realized what happened and told his followers not to cop anything from anywhere in Tribeca and said someone broke into his account.
Normally I may not have believed this hacker story. But recently I was a victim of twitter hacking myself…. Damn internet devils.
In other Diddy news, his appearance on HSN had viewers calling in to purchase their holiday gift sets, including a free Sean John robe. HSN says the gift sets of all his fragrances sold out in 15 minutes, setting a record for the network.
And here’s what’s hot in the streets……

Facebook stalkers are in full effect!!! Be careful of the status and photos that you post up on your facebook account or else you could end up losing your job, benefits or worse. Check out this story of a woman losing her medical leave benefits because of facebook photos……
A Canadian woman on long-term sick leave for depression says she lost her benefits because her insurance agent found photos of her on Facebook in which she appeared to be having fun.
Nathalie Blanchard had been on leave from her job at IBM since she was diagnosed with major depression a year ago and was receiving monthly sick-leave benefits from insurance giant Manulife.But the payments dried up this fall and when Blanchard called Manulife, she says she was told she was available to work because of Facebook. She said her insurance agent described several pictures Blanchard posted on Facebook, including ones showing her having a good time at a Chippendales bar show, at her birthday party and on a sun holiday. Blanchard said Manulife told her it’s evidence she is no longer depressed. She’s fighting to get her benefits reinstated and says her lawyer is exploring what the next step should be.
Here are seven types of Facebook profile photos that most people are sick of seeing. Are you guilty of any of them? I am…lolol
1. The “emo” shot — the black-and-white close-up of your face.
2. The “headshot” — this looks more like your submission to a modeling agency.
3. The “childhood” photo — showing everybody what you use to look like 20 years ago.
4. The photo of your baby — a bad idea because old friends and acquaintances want to see what YOU look like.
5. The photo of you and a celebrity — yeah, we get it — you’re “somebody.” This also screams braggart and wannabe.
6. The “couple kissing shot” — this one shows the world that you have a significant other that’s willing to lock lips with you.
7. The “company promotion” shot — this one shows a flyer or promotional sign for an event you’re involved with.
Chris Brown is bucking up on bloggers who dogged him for the outfit he wears on the cover of Graffiti. (seen here) Critics agreed his tight, spandex-looking black pants signal that he’s going for the “gay crowd.” But Chreezy says: “My fashion isn’t limited to baggy-ass jeans and fitted caps. I did that in ‘05. Come on, son. Hating is so lame. Who cares if my pants are fitted? It’s called fashion. I’m so tired of closed-minded people. I’m 100 percent comfortable with my sexuality. I’m a grown man.”
Chris Brown announced on his Twitter page yesterday that the release of his new disc, Graffiti, has been pushed up a week, to December 8th. He wrote, “If you love me, get it twice, and if you hate me, still get it.”
M-T-V is airing a special called “Chris Brown: The Interview” tomorrow night.
The Dream was named the Executive Vice President of Island Records recently, and the singer/producer has taken to his Twitter account to respond to his new title. The Dream took over the position from Chris Hicks, who took on the job after the sudden passing of Shakir Stewart.
He wrote:
“I did not replace him [Chris Hicks] At DEF JAM he’s the EVP of DEF JAM RECORDS and I AM EVP of ISLAND RECORDS…. To all being negative is out of style! I look forward to the challenge of rebuilding music or not only Island Rec. But for Universal Records as a whole. Today I’m humbled and blessed.”
Congrats to The-Dream on the new gig!!!

Janet Jackson joined Twitter nation recently (www.twitter.com/janetjackson) and has already made news with one of her tweets.
After an initial “Hey guys” tweet on Aug. 3, the singer/actress made news with her second message three days later, announcing: “I just finished working on the film, ‘Why Did I Get Married Too.’ I’m looking forward to getting started on my new album!
Janet Jackson is in talks to write a tell-all book about her brother Michael’s death and how it affected her, as well as his children. She wants to time the book to be released right around the same time her new cd comes out next year. Just last year Janet had to cancel her tour due to low ticket sales.
DO YOU THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA FOR JANET TO WRITE A TELL-ALL SO CLOSE TO MICHAEL’S DEATH?????
In other Jackson family news, the 3 Jackson children were spotted this weekend in Las Vegas at The Palms hotel with their grandmother Katherine for a weekend of fun. The kids saw movies, played in the pool and hung out in a $5000 per night suite.
The three were seen drinking virgin strawberry banana shakes along with three friends poolside. Blanket, wearing a life preserver, broke out some dance moves at the pool’s edge. Their grandmother Katherine was helped by a friend and a nanny. She appeared to be smiling over the pool antics, which included dunking. The kids later dined with their uncle Jermaine at the N9NE Steakhouse private dining room.
It’s safe to say they are finally on the road to healing after the tragic death of their father.

Soulja Boy has taken to blogging as a form of therapy to recover from his recent mental meltdown on Twitter.
He writes on Global Grind:
“A lot of people talking about what I twittered the other night…so I want to address it, now that I have had some time to do some thinking. At 18 years, having grown up in the Mississippi Delta, I never thought my life would take me to where I am now. All I wanted to do was make music. All I thought I loved was music……
I read a tweet Sunday evening on BET’s twitter page that said Chris Brown would be opening the show. When I went back to find it, all evidence of Chris Brown’s intended performance at Sunday’s BET AWARDS had been removed. Luckily, Mediatakeout snagged it before it was taken down. Check it out:
“Breezy is opening the show!” was taken from BET’s twitter page and reposted on their site and Wall of Tweets.
Interestingly enough, I’m hearing that Jay-Z wasn’t the only party hating on Chris Brown that night. The nail that sealed Chreezy’s coffin was when Covergirl cosmetics allegedly threatened to pull all advertising from the BET network if Chris Brown took the stage in any way. Covergirl cosmetics sponsors both Rihanna and Queen Latifah, who just happened to be one of the featured performers of the evening.
