The media and critics are taking a clear side in the “Beyonce Wars” and they have crowned Jennifer Hudson as deserving of the most shine in the highly anticipated movie Dreamgirls.

NY Post is now jumping on the Jennifer Hudson bandwagon with the headline: DREAMGIRL AND IT’S NOT BEYONCE: HOW AN ‘IDOL’ LOSER STEALS THE HOTTEST FILM OF THE SEASON. They say Hudson was so talented in Dreamgirls that she made Beyonce look like a “pretty extra’.

After being promiscuously promoted and sometimes thrown down the throat of the public with aggressive marketing, people seem to be getting sick of Beyonce, the media critics seem to be a little late that Beyonce is not all that. And to the Beyonce cult member stans out there, everyone who thinks Beyonce and her weaves are tired are not haters, they may just be a little more objective and independent minded. Could the “mainstream media” be turning against Beyonce because she told Blender magazine “I make BLACK MUSIC”?

Come on Ms. Hudson, “SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT”!

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday he was “deeply disturbed” by the barrage of gunfire unleashed by officers in a weekend shooting that killed Sean Bell on his wedding day. “I can tell you that it is to me unacceptable or inexplicable how you can have 50-odd shots fired,” he said. But he also defended Police Commissioner Ray Kelly in the face of calls for his resignation.

An Eazy E (RIP) and NWA moment: F*CK THE POLICE!

After continuing to insist she was “signed to Jay,” but refusing to explain further, the surly rapper finally erupted: “See, what people don’t know is that I initiated leaving Def Jam. They didn’t drop me, they could never drop me. I am a multiplatinum artist.” Egypt then tried to quiz Brown about her conviction for assaulting a manicurist. “I am not getting into what took place in the nail salon because it was an unfortunate incident that I learned from,” Brown snapped. “But you contacted me to talk about these things,” Egypt shot back. “This is your opportunity, your platform to set the record straight. You have to admit that people say you are hard to work with and have a bad attitude.” When Ashy tried to pick up the questioning, Brown roiled, “I am not answering you. You are disrespectful.” She then berated Egypt, “I told you when I called you what type of questions I wanted for my interview.” Egypt finally commanded, “Foxy, you leave the room . . . this interview is over.”

Car accidents, fights, court hearings, being dropped from your record label, being kicked off a radio show,etc. Just a normal day for Foxxy Brown. SMH@ “They didn’t drop me, they could never drop me. I am a multiplatinum artist.” Multiplatinum artists get dropped too, especially when they haven’t had a hit in almost a decade. To listen to the audio of Foxy getting the boot, click here.

Why He Became a Vegetarian:

“I actually came home, and there was a little brochure in my hometown paper — I ain’t never told nobody this — but it was a thing about cleaning up your temple. I think it was like a Seventh Day Adventist magazine, and they were talking about ‘try vegetarian.’ I went online that day, and I just started reading little things from different vegetarians, and it was so much easier than I thought it would be, so I decided to try it.”

His Favorite Veggie Snacks:

“My favorite dish is from PF Chang’s — the Buddha’s Feast. It’s hands-down my favorite dish. And the tofu lettuce wraps. McDonald’s has a veggie burger now. It’s not as good as Burger King. Burger King’s veggie burger is off the chain.”

Now maybe when they put his ass in a video with good looking women it can look almost believable. Definitely a good move for Ruben coming after the passing of Gerald Levert, RIP.

SMH, your kids are not attack pitbulls. A damn shame, SMH. All those adults in the backyard and no one has anything to say about this savage stuff? Apparently, some FUBU is arranging kid fights in Florida and posting child fight videos around the net. SMH. For those at work, may want to turn down the volume a little or bust out the headphones.

“One of the witnesses told me this is how they learn to fight, how they learn to be tough on the street ,” said Detective Joe Bross of the St. Petersburg police.A witness told police that the boys didn’t want to fight, but the adults made them. A 17-year-old girl also was arrested in the case, authorities said.

“I think we all should be so lucky and fortunate to be in a romance with Sharon Stone,” Fox, 37, told PEOPLE at the seventh annual Make-a-Wish Foundation Wish Night gala on Friday in Beverly Hills. “We’ve been friends for a number of years and continue to enjoy each other’s company when we get together. She’s quite the busy woman. We share the same agent, we share a best friend. I’ve got to say I enjoy her company. As for romance defined by Hollywood standards, that would be reaching.” He would like to be in a relationship, he said: ….”I’m trying to get this dating thing right, but I’m trying to find someone in my life that I can settle down and have a romance with.”

In so many words, Rick Fox is saying he is bangin Sharon Stone but it’s just not a developed Hollyweird romance. LMAO@”As for romance defined by Hollywood standards”. If Sharon Stone isn’t spreading them legs in Hollyweird, no one is.

Best Buy Celebrates the Launch of the New Playstation 3 Blu Cantrell, Eric Benet, Blair Underwood and Roger Cross 11/16

They might actually work if they really are a couple. Blu is into chicks–Eric pretty much looks like a chick.

Remember this from AllHipHop:I personally got hit up by none other than Ms. Hit ‘Em Up Style. That’s right – Ms. Blu Cantrell. So, she wanted to make it perfectly clear that my rumor was wrong; she is not involved with that guy named Matt Dallas. She told illseed, “I just thought I’d hit you up and set your boy’s rumor straight: Matt Dallas and I are NOT dating for the simple fact that I’m not interested in men.” As one rumor gets cleared up, another is created. If she isn’t interested in men, who is she interested in? Hmmm…

That might just be the type of woman Eric needs for that “sex addiction”, they’ll be scheming on broads collectively as a couple. How romantic.
