Put Me On

Beef Sells Records?

The first rap battle of 2012 is officially underway! Word of a Common vs. Drake feud began to surface after the Chi-town MC dropped his single “Sweet” back in November. On the track Common rants on and on about “soft MCs”. A month later he admitted that Drake was one of the MCs that he was referring to: “The verse is about me but when you hear some of the stuff on the chorus it’s like you can’t help but think about dude and I guess that’s what he felt. So at the end of day he fits in that category, he already embraced it, so wear it.” Continue reading ‘Beef Sells Records?’

The New Fall Season Vs. The Old Skool Fall Season

The new fall season has some issues. Certainly the TV season has a lot on its mind: It’s worried about the economy (but then, who isn’t?; it’s concerned it might have lost touch with its masculine side and 21st-century women seem to make it a little nervous. Especially some of the younger ones.

The result? A broadcast-network lineup that includes among the more than two dozen new series that will debut over the next several weeks:

Following The Most High Stakes Monetary Game Of Chicken

Politics these days are getting strange. For decades there have been open concerns in congress about the growing national debt, but there has never been a serious moment when the fears of our debt would potentially endanger the world markets. Many congressmen have gone on record posturing that they wouldn’t support a raise on the debt ceiling, but they only do this sort of thing after they know that their one vote won’t affect an eventual raise.

Editor’s Note: The Trump Thump

We live in America. This is a country that is by the people and for the people. Any of us have the right to run for public office or not run for public office. So Donald Trump is not out of line for announcing he will not seek the Republican nomination for President in 2012.2012, that is exactly the problem with Trump’s decision. According to him, he would have not only won the Republican nomination he would have defeated the current administration. In a world where national security is an issue why would anyone accuse an incumbent President of his nationality and criticize China the fastest growing economy in the world and then bow out. Why start a fight if you can’t finish or at least have the courage to get your tail kicked. Continue reading ‘Editor’s Note: The Trump Thump’

Bottom Feeding and Tracy Morgan

s-morgan-palin-large.jpegWhether you would only touch her with a stick or she may make you throw up a little in your mouth, Sarah Palin has one big fan. Tracy Morgan has nothing to do with politics and depending on your taste in comedy he may have little to do with that either. Appearing on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night, Tracy Morgan had some interesting praise for Palin, which he tacked on at the end of an interview, a propos of nothing. “Sarah Palin, you’re the hottest MILF in the world,” he shouted out, confusing his interviewer.

There is Another Man: Christina Aguilera

people_christina_ag_707238l.jpgShe is beautiful no matter what you say, words can’t bring her down. Well here is the word. Christina Aguilera has split with husband Jordan Bratman, according to her representative.” Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever,” Aguilera said in a statement released Tuesday through her representative. The 29-year-old singer-actress and the 33-year-old music executive married five years ago. Their son, Max, was born two years ago. Aguilera co-stars with Cher in “Burlesque,” a major feature film set for a Thanksgiving release. Aguilera cited “irreconcilable differences” in her divorce petition, which was filed in October 2010.  It’s an interesting twist, since inside sources tell a story of Christina causing the marriage to fall apart after Aguilera allegedly cheated on Bratman. Aguilera’s side refused comment. According to the divorce docs, there is a prenup.  The divorce petition asks that “Earnings and accumulations of [Aguilera] before marriage, during marriage and from and after the date of separation” be considered separate property. Aguilera, who is represented by disso-queen Laura Wasser, lists the date of separation as September 11, 2010. The petition also seeks to terminate Bratman’s ability to get spousal support. Aguilera is seeking joint physical and legal custody of their child, Max, who is 2. For better or for worse Aguilera does what she wants when she wants it. The genie is out of the bottle. Boys beware Christina wears the pants. WATCH Tomorrow Pictures.TV and watch boys with pants, give their ode to Christina Aguilera because she is so beautiful.

Lindsay Lohan’s in Trouble Again!

Lindsay!Lindsay Lohan’s future includes a new fashion line, two new movies, some time in jail and another stint in rehab. The actress was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days in jail and 90 days in a residential substance-abuse program for violating her probation, stemming from two separate 2007 cases of driving under the influence of cocaine and alcohol. She is to surrender and begin her jail sentence July 20. Rehab will follow. The punishment levied by Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel will keep Lohan from promoting “Machete,” the Robert Rodriguez action film due in theaters in September. 20th Century Fox, which is releasing the film, had no comment. Lohan’s jail and rehab sentence will also delay production on “Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story,” in which the 24-year-old actress plays the starring role of the famed porn star. Writer-director Matthew Wilder said after the probation ruling that he and his crew remain “100 percent behind Lindsay. We are proud to have this remarkable artist work on our film”.
