JUNK FOoD: Sometimes FAME Kills

"The album is what I would like them to talk about" how idealistic, and certainly preferable in the case, of Chris Brown as he spoke with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America recently. His objective was to promote his album F.A.M.E which hit stores on March 22nd; however, things sharply took a turn for the worst ending in Breezy trashing the dressing room and leaving the ABC studios shirtless. If you follow the old consideration, "Bad publicity is better than no publicity", you might chance putting a positive spin on this occurence. BUT if you're like the rest of us, you will agree that this did not help an already considerably fledgeling public opinion.

In theory, yes Chris Brown should've been able to concentrate on the good and his album release - but in reality, the chances of him dancing his way into people's hearts might never happen. This is show-business folks, and that's what the people want, a show.

As an ABC spokesperson put it, "As always, we asked questions that are relevant and newsworthy, and that's what we did in this interview with Mr. Brown." When its all said and done, the media has to do their job just as Chris has to do his. I wonder how he would rate that performance?

eyeWant: "I Am...World Tour" CD/DVD

Anyone that has known me is within the past few years knows how much I loved Beyoncé. I won't lie, I was almost a Beyoncé stan, but quite frankly I put those days behind me. Don't get me wrong, I love her music, videos, and fierceness, but it was getting bad. I remember going to see the Beyoncé Experience tour at Madison Square Garden and almost crying when it was over. I also remember watching the DVD to the tour possibly over 100 times in my dorm to the point where even my roommates could recite the words. After her I Am... tour, I was upset that it wasn't released on DVD and instead had to settle for her I Am Your DVD performance at the Las Vegas Wynn.

It was an intimate performance and I was very disappointed because I was expecting something more along the lines of what will be released on November 29th...the I AM...WORLD TOUR CD/DVD! I'm very excited for this just to watch it and it'll be here in time for the holidays. Now I'm wondering if she'll have another Thanksgiving special. But anyway...

eyeYeyeYeye: When Will "The King" Learn?

Life is something to be taken very seriously because it is so precious, valuable and so short. I am no angel, but I do try to keep that age old adage in mind as I maneuver through this thing called life. T.I. is no different, regardless of the light we have placed on him, he is human. He is prone to make mistakes, as we all do. Times like these call for real friends who are honest and upfront about his poor decision making. Along my many roads traveled, I have had a couple of those wake up calls and I am eternally in debt to those who were frank. When adjudicating, the judge mentioned "an experiment". No one's life is an experiment and consequences - although feasibly trial and error - are stern at times and never to be forgotten. T.I. was sentenced to another 11 months in prison for drug possession - not too long after him serving 11 month last year for gun possession. I wish him the best as I wish all who are forced to face the music.

HAiR WaRS: Trina vs. Rihanna

Hats off for our first edition of Hair Wars!

Trina vs. Rihanna
We've had Rihanna's red head debut featured in our Haute or Hate It series, but now it looks like Trina's trying it too. Will this red hair be a fad, or will more celebrities catch the fever? Let's remember who really came in the game with the colored hair: Keyshia Cole, Charlie Baltimore, and Eve. I guess it's just "fashion" repeating itself as usual. Time to vote on who wins...

Maino vs. The Jenks

When is enough, enough? You be the judge. MTV's show "World of Jenks" took an interesting turn recently, when Jenks took on the mission of spending a week with Hustle Hard CEO/ Atlantic artist Maino. The BK came out of Maino after Jenks got out of pocket and was in need of a Young Berg (Reference: Young Berg slapped by Maino).


Now for the entertainment purpose, its funny and all but I was perusing some commentary on the situation and someone made a good point, "Maino uses words to eat, and should have been able to break it down verbally"; things that make you go hmm.

I am not one to judge, but it's possible the brother took it too far. Yes he could have rationalized with him, or expressed himself in another manner; but the question remains: How much can a person take? Can anyone be the magistrate on this? I for one consider myself to be very rational, as well I assume you consider yourself but how do you deliberate on such things. When is enough enough? How many of us believe that we could have survived long enough to get the $100 on MTV's Boiling Points?
Easier said than done I caution.

In this case, do we really agree that "Keeping it real" - for Maino- went wrong? They say even bad press is better than no press at all. Also, remember the strategy of show business; is there a Maino album on the rise? I wouldn't be surprised. Someone definitely should warned Jenks of the dos and don'ts on Gates. BK stand up and when Bill Cosby, Oprah, and Mr. O'Reilly are looking sit back down. We don't need any more criticism.

JuNK FOOD: TIny Troubled Triangles

Its been a while since we've fed you any and what better time than to indulge than today? There's been a few things going on in the entertainment world, and today we've got two treats for you. Ready? Enjoy...
T.I. & Tiny Arrested


TI and his wife Tiny were pulled over in Los Angeles on a routine traffic stop and the police smelled MARIJUANA in the car. After searching the car, police found an UNSPECIFIED OTHER DRUG in the car.

According to TMZ, TI and Tiny were both placed under ARREST, and as of this morning, were awaiting bail. MediaTakeOut.com can report that rapper TI has almost 3 YEARS LEFT on his probation. If he is found GUILTY of this offense (a violation), he could go to jail for 3 MORE YEARS! They have 5 CHILDREN and a successful entertainment career, It's just a SHAME!

Kanye Trying to Steal Selita From Maxwell

There may be some beef in the music world between rapper Kanye West and R&B singer Maxwell. Why? According to a source close to Maxwell, the R&B singer and model Selita Banks have been dating fairly seriously for almost six months. The insider explained, "They were trying to keep it out of the public because they wanted it to last...they really cared for each other."

Well that's where rapper Kanye West comes in. The insider explains, "Kanye and Selita were sneaking around behind Maxwell's back. This is crazy because they were all friends. For Ye to do that is beyond grimey." And the insider adds, "He'll get his though, Maxwell is no punk."

Remember this is the VERY SAME thing Kanye did with Kim Kardashian, while she was with Reggie Bush. DANG!!!(Mediatakeout)

JuNK FOOD: Ryan's Amazon Woman

Does height matter? Beauty is more than in the eye of the beholder. My grandma used to always say, "There's somebody for everybody." And Nicole Trunfio, girlfriend to singer Ryan Leslie, can be for a lot of guys. Who wants to argue with that? If you do, I think my insurance plan can cover our trip to the optics so you can get checked out. Okay, stop drooling and admit it.

There have been a couple wise cracks about Nicole's height, but last time I checked, that didn't matter at all. Dudes often say that they want to date a model, well how tall are they expecting them to be? There are standards with that come along with this. Personally I love a female with some height on her. It's not a prerequisite or anything, so let's not discriminate...That's so 90s. Worst case scenario only hang out when she has on flats. From good music to beautiful women, I guess he knows like Bo. Food for thought, you do the dishes.

JuNK FOOD: Dreams, Racists, and Roses

Sorry for leaving you all itching for your fix of , but we've been busy giving you some real posts to feast on. To feed the addiction of celebrity gossip and entertainment, we've got some juicy topics for you. Here's your fix of JuNK FOOD!

Dream to NightmareWe've all heard about the rumors of The Dream cheating on his wife, Christina Milian. She's recently been spotted still rocking the wedding ring, and here's why: According to Christina's bestie, "His announcement was the first time he ever expressed not wanting to spend the rest of his life with her and at this moment she is a distraught mother and wife.. With that kind of shock i dont think she has even considered taking it off yet...His announcement was the first time he ever expressed not wanting to spend the rest of his life with her and at this moment she is a distraught mother and wife.. With that kind of shock i dont think she has even considered taking it off yet." Crazy! Read more on this story on Mediatakeout.com.

Whoopi Defends Mel GibsonMel Gibson has made big news again for a racist rant against African Americans saying to his ex-girlfriend that "If you get raped by a pack of n****** it will be your fault." With that line he may have angered millions of people. SMH, it's so bad it's almost comical.

Then this week on The View Whoopi came out and said "I know Mel, and I know he's not a racist...He may be a bonehead. I can't sit and say that he's a racist, having spent time with him in my house with my kids." I must say this before I go any further, if this was a black man who had said such things about a white man or any other race, his career would be over. I do not believe this is the case for Mel Gibson." (Huffington Post)...WOW! Your thought?!

No Rose for ReggieAllegedly Reggie Bush and Amber Rose have had sexual relations. Last night were the 2010 ESPN ESPYs and both were in attendance. Rumor has it that Reggie ordered security to keep Amber away from him. It's like that? (MediaTakeout)

JuNK FOOD: The Minaj à Trois

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well let's start counting all the things that little Kim could potentially say about this one. In the photo: Young Money's Nicki Minaj with D. Roc - former Junior Mafia manager - and the same dude that Lil' Kim did a year for in prision. In my opinion, Kim doing a year for not snitiching is what solidifies her claim to the thrown as the QUEEN. Eat your hearts out, and don't forget that I am FOX 5, Fox Boogie to the max. All in all, real recognizes real, and you can't argue with that.

When it all boils down, you have to ask - where's the loyalty? You can't knock the homey for getting his paper, especially when you have a chance to jump on a bandwagon like Nicki's (no pun intended). Seriously, how many people would turn that down? I know a few, but I guess he's not one. I don't know the dude personally, but what I do know is that this is kind of a slap in the face to Kim. Right now is pivotal, and sides must be chosen. Did he choose his? SAD.

I for one don't even co-sign the beef between Kim and Nicki, but I quote what Nicki said at the BET Awards, "I'm doing this for all women"; as she should. And like Remy said, "There can be more than one." - female rapper on top of her game that is. They don't always have to beef. So I'm riding with ending the BS, and letting them both get their shine, and rhyme on. As we all should.

Never Had Luck This Good

Never Had Luck This Good


Have you? Well in case you were wondering, that young man is rapper 40 GLOCC from Cali. You may have been hearing some ruckus lately as he's been in the midst of Lil' Wayne and Baby (more notably), as well as Blackwall Street artist, Menace. Besides that, I must be honest I don't know what his claim to fame is - BUT he is with her.

Who is she? Only Rosa Acosta, where have you been? Obviously not on the 'net. So again, my question is - why him?

Someone help me with this. Some guys have all the luck, don't they? I'm not a hater or anything, but I just wanna know. Reports are that this date was "staged". Well where do I sign up for those kind of acts? Anyone following me?

JuNK FOOD: Chris Banned From UK

Nearly a year after the incident with Chris Brown, you would think the world would be over it right? Not so much, according to a clip in the Hollywood Reporter, Chris Brown had to delay his tour in the UK because the country denied him access due to his criminal record. Now, I know the brother was wrong, but dang he can’t even come into the country?! I wonder who ELSE they did that to. Hmm...what do you think?

Should Chris Brown be allowed to have his tour in the UK despite his past afflictions with Rihanna?

Drop a buzz.

JuNK FOOD: The Dish We Get Served

Welcome to all the gossip-addicts; not here to judge, I myself is included in this craze. I cannot put the mouse down - continuously scanning the net for the newest dish. I came across something today that had me baffled. It was about The Dream and his wife Christina Milian - headline, "The Dream and Christina Milian Over?????" So, me being the curious person that I am, clicked with the quickness only to be disappointed. This was the offering, (view photo to the left). Where does this come across as a marriage destroyed...looks to me like a hardworking man just having a good time. Or am I missing something?

With all of this in mind, I came to think of how factual most of the things that we read really are. Now I am not here to attack a whole industry, far be it for me to be hypocritical, but I am in search of the truth - and I need you guys to help me out. How much of the so-called dish we get served is true, or does it even matter? Are we so intrigued by the lives of others that we throw caution to the wind as soon as we see headlines? Are we addicted to

?

eyewonder. Example, yesterday the headline was Nene from Atlanta Housewives and her husband were on the verge of divorce after having been split for some time, and I couldn't wait to see why. FYI - I still don't know why, but I found myself hanging on to every word of the publication which served me this dish..smh..Someone help me!

Some time ago I was against twitter (DON'T KILL ME) 'cause I refused to be that interested to "follow" someone else. I have a hard enough time keeping up with my whereabouts most of the time, and indeed need calendars, post-its, all of the above to keep me focused (Come on now, you know you are the same way - admit it).

Again not here to badger, just wanted to share my thoughts and get some feedback.
So, be sure to COMMENT!

Twitter "Beef" with Jojo Simmons & Bow Wow
Yesterday rapper Bow Wow and Angela's brother JoJo were going back and forth clowning each other over Twitter. Jojo had some pretty good tweets getting at Bow Wow, but Bow Wow decided to bring Angela (his ex-girlfriend and Jojo's sister) into the mix with this tweet: "im talking about ya sister was laying in bed with me and begged me to call u when ni**** dissed u on hot 97 #boohoo." Bow Wow deleted all of his messages regarding the situation, but too bad someone caught it before he did (via Mediatakeout.com).

JuNK FOOD: Baby Bullock

After seeing all of the failed marriages and infidelity scandals going on in the media, the conclusion is fairy tales don't have a happy ending. Or do they? Sandra Bullock has been through a lot of ups and downs in the past couple of months; awards here and there including an Oscar, a file for divorce, and the adoption of a baby boy, Louis Bardo Bullock that she's had since January. Yes, how did that happen to get past the paps?

I'm personally happy for Sandy (who is my BFF - in my head), I love that she's moving forward in her life and out of all of the mess going on with her cheating, soon-to-be ex-husband, she has found a source of happiness in her 3 1/2 month-old baby boy. She adopted Louis from New Orleans and named him after Louis Armstrong. He's a real cutie and I'm sure he'll grow up to be a fine man under her wing.

Congratulations Sandra!
