Akon continues to ride Mike’s nut sack. Dig what he says to People Magazine this time:

What surprised you the most about him?
Akon: How humble and how smart he was. Sometimes you get a certain perception from how the media portrays him, but [working with him] was completely opposite. An artist of that caliber and as big as he is, you would think he would have certain qualities that you probably wouldn’t like, such as being very arrogant or stuck up. With him, it was like he had never put out a record before – he still had that hunger.

Damn. We get it already, you like Mike. But we still can’t quite digest that ‘smart’ piece. It really don’t really seem like Mike got too much goin’ by way of intellect these days.

That thick, caramel cutie, Ashanti, was at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade trying to get some shine. We sure hope she didn’t overdo it on the baked macaroni and pie afterwards because “good thick” can turn sloppy with little warning.

More pics of Ashanti below.

This is Pharrell outside a studio in Miami looking like a damn 12 year old. We are all for the gear flavor, but would it hurt to try some protein in his diet?

After “supposedly” shooting himself in the leg at a NYC club Friday night, NY Giants star receiver Plaxico Burress has turned himself in:

NEW YORK (AP) — Plaxico Burress arrived at a police station early Monday morning, where he was expected to be charged after accidentally shooting himself in the right thigh.The New York Giants star wide receiver arrived in a black Cadillac Escalade wearing jeans and a black coat. Burress, who was not visibly limping, did not speak to the media and walked directly into the precinct.

Burress’ lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Sunday that he was advised the player planned to plead not guilty to criminal possession of a weapon. “I do not expect that Mr. Burress will make a statement,” Brafman wrote. He met with Burress for about an hour Sunday at the player’s home in New Jersey.

“I would ask that his fans, the Giants and the media withhold judgment in this matter until all of the facts have been disclosed,” Brafman wrote to the AP. Continue »

Naomi’s people have been denying that she and her billionaire boo will wed early this month:

Naomi Campbell’s representative has dismissed reports she’s to wed her billionaire lover in a secret December ceremony in Russia. The catwalk beauty sparked rumours of an engagement to Russian Vladimir Doronin on Tuesday after she was pictured attending a lavish magazine party in Moscow sporting a large emerald sparkler on her ring finger.

British tabloids are now claiming Campbell is planning a small, low-key wedding, after reportedly inviting close friends and family to join the couple for a special Christmas vacation. A source tells the Sunday Mirror, “Naomi asked them to save the date and be prepared to travel to Russia. She’s keeping tight-lipped about exactly what is happening – and has sworn everyone to secrecy.”

But Campbell’s spokesman has denied the claims, saying, “She has no plans to be in Russia at that time.” The couple have been dating since May.

These two have been thick as thieves for a minute. Wonder if this dried up dude will ever make an honest woman out of the broad. Guess we’ll have to wait and see…

After posting up with Madonna on Thanksgiving, A Rod is reportedly with his cougar in Mexico:

Madonna and Alex Rodriguez were both spotted in Mexico City last weekend.

The two have not confirmed their romance. But they reportedly had their public “coming out” Nov. 26, when, according to E!, the Yankees third baseman handed Madonna a water bottle during her Miami concert.

They also apparently met up on Thanksgiving, after Rodriguez fulfilled his family obligations. When asked what he thought about being in the capital city the same time as his rumored paramour, the baseball star would only say it was “very good,” the Associated Press reports. The 50-year-old Madonna – whose divorce from Guy Ritchie was finalized just days ago – was in town to perform a pair of concerts on her “Sticky & Sweet” tour. Rodriguez, meanwhile, was invited to inaugurate a new sports complex in the city, and spent two hours on Sunday teaching kids to bat.

We know magician David Blaine said that cougar gives bomb brains but damn, can it be that good to “trade it all in”, money and family?

That random acts of violence went down following 2 Webbie concerts over the weekend??:

A Florida man was stabbed outside a Boca Raton nightclub early Friday (November 28), following a performance by rapper Webbie.

According to local news station WPTV, police were called to Club Pulse after shots were fired outside. When authorities arrived, one man was found with a stab wound, but no one had been shot. The unidentified man was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment, reports BallerStatus.com. It is unclear what his condition is at this time. Reports indicate that nearly 700 were in attendance to see Webbie. No other injuries were reported. In related news, on Sunday (November 24), during the early morning hours the previous weekend, a 20-year-old woman who had just left a concert in Thibodaux, LA — where Webbie had performed — was shot twice in the head.

Shaundra LaShae Day and her boyfriend were on their way home after the concert, when someone fired on their car, according to reports. She suffered bullet wounds to her forehead and right eye, and is currently in critical condition in Thibodaux Regional Medical Center’s intensive care unit, as reported by BallerStatus.com.

This cat is leaving all types of tragedy in his wake. We suggest buddy boy suspend all further concerts until they figure out a way to prevent all this murderous thuggery from going down. SMH.

The shady, “Slick Willie”, has cut a deal to make sure Hillary gets a spot in Obama’s cabinet:

INDIAN WELLS, Calif., Nov. 29 — Former president Bill Clinton has agreed to make public 200,000 donors to his presidential library and foundation as part of an agreement with President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team designed to allow his wife — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton — to be named secretary of state, according to two sources familiar with the arrangement. The former president has also agreed to allow the State Department and, potentially, the White House to vet his personal business interests and speeches so as to avoid potential conflicts of interest, according to transition officials. The outlines of the deal cut by Obama and the Clintons emerged in the last week as it became increasingly clear that the New York senator would be named secretary of state. The transition team said the president-elect will make the announcement Monday in Chicago. Bill Clinton has long resisted calls to make public the donors to his library and foundation, insisting that he has complied with all federal laws governing the disclosure (or lack thereof) of the contributions and the contributors to the foundation.
During the primary fight between Obama and Hillary Clinton, the Illinois senator’s campaign described his opponent as a “veteran of non-disclosure” — using the donors to the library as a cudgel in the argument.

Obama has do to what he has to do for the betterment of our country. Word just in…it is official. Hillary is the new Secretary of State.

Discuss…
