Stephanie Pratt: "I'm Leaving 'The Hills'

Image
One of my favorite reality shows is on MTV.. Guess, The Hills! Though we all know that some of the show is so scripted it seems that some of the girls are over it and are ready to move on to new things. According to a Hollyscoop exclusive with Stephanie Pratt; She, Audrina, and Lo will be leaving after the 10 episodes. Word is Audrina Patridge got her own reality show on MTV with Mark Burnett. Pratt said, " I don't know how much more I can take of The Hills ," added Stephanie. " The Hills is very brutal ." When Pratt was asked if the reason behind the leave involves the new " ginger " of the show Kristin? she replies, " It's not because of Kristin ," she tells Hollyscoop.

It's not the original girls moving to LA trying to make it. Right now everyone’s figh

Al Sharpton & LisaRaye a Couple or a Stunt?!

Image
Before i say anything let me just say, YUCK! Okay. word around town is that Lisa and Rev Al Sharpton are an item. They have been seen together since Michael Jackson's memorial service. They have also been seen at the 19th annual NAACP Awards, as well as mostly recently at the Congressional Black Caucus events last weekend in D.C. I personally don't know if this is REAL or NOT but i am disgusted. One thing i can say about Lisa Raye, her choice of men all seem to lead to a hidden plan. PUBLICITY and STATUS !! Oh boy, I'm going to leave this alone but both Rev Sharpton and Lisa Raye have not completely divorced from their partners. [ source ]

3 teens charged with beating death of Derrion Albert

Image
I swear every moment of the day i wonder what has gotten into the world we live in. This story adds to my wondering . Three teenagers have been charged as adults with a charge of first-degree murder for the beating death of 16-year-old Derrion Albert. Albert was an "innocent bystander" who walked into the middle of a street fight between two groups of feuding teens last Thursday, which eventually lead to his death at the hands of three young men. Silvonus Shannon, 19, Eugene Riley, 18, and Eric Carson, 16, according to the Cook County state's attorney's office, were ordered and held without bond today. Police said that an amateur video helped detectives identify the participants. For more on this story as well as to see the Horrific video click here .. This just saddens me. Every time i turn on my TV it's something that at the age of these young men are at, should be known better! This is a perfect example of how parents need to a better job of raising their kids

Roman Polanski ARRESTED for 30 Year Old Crime!

Image
Legendary filmmaker Roman Polanski was finally arrested by authorities in Switzerland who were in cahoots with the U.S government to extradite him for having sex with a 13-year old girl more than 30 years ago. Polanski settled with the girl a couple years back and she’s saying she doesn’t want to press charges. For more on this click here . I believe that because of his status he shouldn't have got off easy, A grown Man with a CHILD is F*** Disgusting. However, i always thought after a certain amount of time you couldn't press charges for certain things. The victim, even says she doesn't want to. So there has got to be more to the story. If not there are plenty of other criminals they need to pick up. Its amazing to me how laws apply to make some people examples, but then let some pass. What a country, we got Innocent people in jail filling beds for people they don't feel are worth catching. But you'll go arrest someone for something they've done and plead guilt

Carrie Underwood - Cowboy Casanova (Official Music Video)

Carrie Underwood is one of my favorite singers. So when i heard she drop a new video, i just had to check it out! The new single is “Cowboy Casanova”.

I like the song, the video doesn't do it for me. But hay!

Amerie’s "In Love & War" Album Cover

Image
I was excited to see what the album cover was going to look like. I mean, a lot of the promotional pictures (click here to see them) weren't that great! The cover I'll say is a bit cheesy. I don't like the font. But hopefully it sells. Then again, Beyonce stole Amerie's whole swag and she hasn't yet reclaimed it. So this could be good. I do like several songs from the album.

AUTUMNJONES WANTS YOU TO MEET: Actress Beliria Sims

Image
What was the first movie or show you watched that made you say I wanna do that? I honestly cant remember the first movie i saw that made me feel like i wanted to act, but my first favorite movies were Michael Jackson Moonwalker and Steel Magnolias. How long have you been acting? Ive been acting all my life, and i really didn't realize it. But i have been seriously acting for about 2 years now. Your from Detroit and a lot of great talent has come out of there.How has that inspired you even more? It's inspirational to me because it motivates me to want to keep the legacy of Detroit's talent alive. And I think most people associate talented Detroiters with music and not necessarily movies or acting. Another reason it inspires me is because these days most people don't think of anything positive when they think of Detroit, so I want to be that little ray of sunshine that the rest of the world sees from my city. Who is Beliria Sims? What do you want people to take from you a

Congrats to Lamar Odom & Khloe Kardashian Odom

Image
I REALLY REALLY didn't want to indulge. As much as i heart Khloe, i just wasn't feeling this decision. But hay to each his/her own. I wish them well. Much love, happiness and success.. Something i found very interesting is, yesterday, when paparazzi caught Lamar heading into his rehearsal dinner, he said–“ People get divorced after being married for 18 years … You never know.” Gotta be all for TV! People really have no respect for the sacredness of marriage anymore. but we shall see.

Mashonda And Alicia Still At It Over Swizz Beats!

Image
Alicia Keys may have started back up what has become a whole bunch of foolishness, in the Mashonda/Swizz Beats separation, marriage. I don't know what to call it. But A Keys felt the need to say what she thought of it via Twitter and Mashonda had a whole LOT to say. Alicia wrote last night. “Is it better to go for the choice that is ‘SMART’ or the choice that has ‘SPARK’?” Mashonda: " After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. I’ve never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I’ve reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call

Join Jay-Z's Book Club!

Image
Okay, Okay. Maybe not a JAY-Z book club, but "O" Magazine recently spoke to Jay about some of his favorite books. Check it out; The Seat of the Soul By Gary Zukav There are two books that I absolutely live my life by. This is one of them. Growing up, I was always curious about religion. This book made the most sense to me; it's about the way you live your life. I believe in karma and doing the right thing even if it may not advance you as far as you want. If every single person felt the same way about karma and intention, then the world gets fixed tomorrow. But temptation gets in the way. Zukav is right: It may take lifetimes to learn. The Celestine Prophecy By James Redfield This is the other book I live by. It's fiction—a guy travels to find a secret book that has a series of principles. The story is a metaphor for life: I could go left or right, I could be stuck, or I could keep advancing. Some people are happy where they are. I tried to hire a guy once, and I s
