Talk show host Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, known for his NAACP boycotts and his confrontations with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, released a statement after hearing Ron Mexico confess that he has found the lord:

“The statement that Michael Vick has found Jesus is laughable. Like other celebrities before him, Vick is evoking Jesus’ name to stop the criticism and gain public sympathy. True believers recognize the hypocrisy in what he’s doing.Jesus’ is the most abused name in black America and Vick is following a long line of abusers. We can no longer allow celebrities and politicians to break laws and then use ‘Jesus’ as a get-out-of-jail free card. Most of these people go right back into their bad behavior and criminal activities as soon as the storm passes.

Jesse Jackson evoked Jesus’ name after he was discovered to have fathered a child in an extramarital affair. Thug rappers can’t keep Jesus’ name out of their mouths at award shows or when they get into trouble. Even Bill Clinton (the first black president) started carrying the Bible after he was caught having an affair with Monica Lewinsky and perjuring himself. Michael Vick is using the same playbook to manipulate the media and public. Continue »

Model lover John Legend and resident diarrhea mouth Terrence Howard appear to have had a pretty interesting conversation at the Playing for Good Foundation Poolside Party in Spain yesterday. Hopefully Johnny Boy informed him that although wiping your a– with baby wipes sounds like a good idea, they will eventually clog your toilet. Terrence doesn’t seem smart enough to invest in those big kid/adult flushable ones.

Even more pics from the event right about now… Continue »

Akon recently did an interview with Blender magazine and discusses booty-calls, stealing cars, being unfaithful and his age.

How old are you?

[Smiles.] I don’t know how old I am.

Nonsense. Why are you so cagey about giving your age?

I don’t understand the importance. But I’ve been blessed to look young for a long time. My pops is 77 years old. You wouldn’t believe it; he looks like he’s in his mid-40s.

Does your wife know how old you are?

She has no idea. Continue »

Alicia Keys opens up about dating within the industry in the new issue of Vegas Magazine:

“…I am not interested in guys in the industry. They are tainted,” she says with a playful hint of repulsion. “You sit back and wonder, how many women has this man slept with. and I don’t want to know. No thanks, I will never be apart of anyone’s list.”

She just crushed the dreams of all the industry cats that would love to break her back in.

1 Cent is trying to lower expectations for his album sales and he still can’t keep Kanye West out his mouth. He spoke to San Diego’s 93.3 yesterday :

“Its not possible for Kanye to beat me, I don’t know why I said that. Its like the teddy bear vs. the gorilla. Def Jam [West’s label] is going to buy about 200,000 of Kanye’s records. Kanye sucks, I’m going to be honest, he sounds like a robot, he has a robot record.”

Is he saying DefJam is the only label that buys albums? SMH. We don’t think that the song with TimberFAKE is going to save his record sales.

Pictures like this are not going to help either. He does get a few points for honesty, the Gorilla comparison was on point.

We haven’t posted Jay-Z and Beyonce in a while ( a few days probably) so here you go. The couple attended the US senior basketball team vs. Uruguay game in Nevada yesterday. Joe Camel doesn’t look like he likes this player kissin’ on his girl.

Jay-Z looks like he is waiting in the cut to see if dude goes for some tongue.

Yesterday, on the Wendy Williams radio show, Irv Gotti reportedly admitted to having an affair with Ashanti while he was the ‘married’ CEO of Murder Inc. He also admitted to being on Viagra and E’d up when he was hittin’ Ashanti during their affair.

This is not really news, just about everyone in the industry has fu*ked for some tracks at some point in their career. Even Kim Porter could probably tell Ashanti was Irv’s side deal when she was ridin’ with Murder Inc.

Vanessa Carlton signed with Irv, you know she has watched some Viagra pill poppin’ already.

Rihanna was spotted at California Speedway’s Wide Open Event in Hollywood yesterday flossin’ an ace bandage but ditched it later that night for a date with actor Shia LaBeouf. Although Rihanna claims the two barely know each other, a source says the two got to know each other quite well at the Kate Mantilini Restaurant in Beverly Hills. While another source reveals that they are indeed a couple.

According to Buzz Foto:

We had a direct view of their booth and we witnessed a very animated Shia during the dinner which ended with strawberries and wine. This dinner lasted close to two and a half hours so there must be something here. They walked right by our table as they exited the restaurant, but no hand holding, touching or groping. Flashes went off and Rihanna was delighted to pose for photographs, but Shia behaved like a twelve year old running in the garage to hide and whimper. They drove off in is brand new pick up truck. How classy.

Strawberries and wine was a perfect set up to get her panties wet. The space boot probably would have f*cked up the mood. Who knows where they drove off in that pick up but I’m sure Shia stuck around long enough for breakfast.

Remy Ma’s former friend and alleged shooting victim, Markeda Barnes-Joseph is finally recovering and speaking out about Remy Ma and Foxy Brown.

Via NY Daily News:

“They feel that they can do whatever they want and get away with it,” said Makeda. “They think that because they’re rappers that they need to make a name for themselves. It’s ridiculous, the stupid things she [Foxy Brown] is doing.”

“Because they’re hard-core female rappers, they [think they] have to live up to what they say in their raps.

Barnes-Joseph, who will undergo more surgery in October, was released from the hospital early this month and sees a physical therapist every other day. “I’m basically confined to the bed now. It’s really hard. It hurts,” she said. Barnes-Joseph said the scars on her stomach are a permanent reminder of her former friend’s betrayal. Also painful for Barnes-Joesph is Remy Ma’s denial that she shot the former pal. “I sit here and I try to think every day, ‘Why is she doing that? How can she deny that?’”

It’s a shame what happened to this girl, but when reading what she said, I can’t stop thinking of that Dave Chapelle skit “When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong”. The quote-un-quote hardcore female rappers shooting up and assaulting broads to be tough, but end up being somebody’s bi*ch in the pen.
