When Billboards Go Too Far

When walking the streets of NYC's SOHO, there's a few things you can expect to see. Wacky outfits - sure, an anti-abortion billboard that reads

The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.
 
- maybe that's pushing it. But this is no analogy, the billboard is real and was put up by Life Always. The pro-life company is riling up New Yorkers, and African Americans worldwide.

The Life Always website even goes far enough to say "There is a battle being waged in the United States that has taken more lives than any foreign war or act of terrorism." If you ask me, this goes without saying that African Americans are terrorists and their weapon of mass destruction is the abortion clinic. It's such a shame what measures people will take to gain some attention. There are better ways to go about being an advocate for pro-life. But to deface an entire race to do so isn't right at all. Take a look at the ABC video below as they speak with NY'ers who were shocked by the billboard. Happy watching!


We're interested in hearing your opinion on this issue. Comment!

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.

eyeYeyeYeye: Bill O' Reilly Distorts The View

eye-yeye-YEYE! Bill O’Reilly, who is often known for contributing to controversial issues, shakes up "The View" of Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar on today's show. I'm not into politics and worldly issues, but this had my eyes and ears alert while I was watching this morning. O'Reilly made some remarks concerning 9-11 and Muslims mosques buildings, that caused Whoopie and Joy to storm off the set with washed hands. I found Bill's comments to be very ignorant and although Barbara didn't appreciate the way her colleagues handled the situation, her, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck made him own his statements which led to him "apologizing". Take a look for yourself and "Enjoy The View". Happy watching.

Eventually the full cast reunited on the couch after Bill's apology. How do you feel about how this went down?

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)



Need more? That's all the junk you're getting from us! But mediatakeout will keep you entertained in that area.

Eye Can’t BEElieve Them: Shirley Sherrod

Okay people, I know you have probably heard her story. But for those who don’t know the buzz around Shirley Sherrod, you might want to pay attention.

The former director for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development in Georgia was forced to resign after a video was placed on Andrew Brietbart’s BigGovernment.com website.

The conservative posted the video showing Sherrod making “racist” comments regarding a white farmer that requested her assistance almost 20 years ago while she was working at a private advocacy firm.

The problem: the video was heavily edited.

In the post, she discusses how a farmer named Roger Spooner went to her because his land was being sold, and he had no means to regain control of it. Sherrod acknowledged that at first, he came off like he thought he was superior to her. She knew he was not going to receive support from other Black farmers, and she did not know if she had the power to do anything to help him. So, she thought it would be best to take him to a lawyer who looked like him if he wanted immediate help.

When the NAACP reposted the entire video, Sherrod is shown making comments that ‘poverty, not race, is a crucial component in rural development’, and that she learned from the experience. In fact, the farmer insisted on CNN that she tried to help him the best way that she could, and get this: THEY ARE FRIENDS UNTIL THIS DAY & THE FARMER DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE CONTROVERSY CAME FROM.

Although the Obama administration fired her, they issued an apology and offered her job back in the department. She has not accepted thus far.

If you ask me, it was a mere set up to prove that racism can exist against whites. Instead, they made yet another innocent African-American a scapegoat to ignite unnecessary political RACIST drama.

Geniuses…NOT!

Ridiculous.

Drop a Buzz.

eyeYeyeYeye: Thank Him Later

In case you didn't know this, you can't take certain people anywhere. It's a shame - but the cliche remains, and in most cases it's true. Here I was yesterday seriously contemplating going to the FREE Drake concert at South Street Seaport in NYC. His first official album, Thank Me Later dropped and it was a big deal. First and foremost, I'm a fan - I think dude is really talented and I like his approach, you know? More than anything I respect that he is genuine, and he is not trying to be something other than what he is; and that is ALWAYS ACCEPTABLE.


I changed my mind when I recieved a call at around 5pm. Being told that Seaport was looking like a zoo already, and curtain was not until 6pm, make my decision easy. Something said don't do it, and I'm glad yet regretful at the same time.

The regret is that my city couldn't host something like this in a fun manner. A free concert from one of the hottest buzzin' artists out right now? Unmentionable. I'm not here to knock anyone, cause I don't know what sparked the melee, but it was unnecessary and it will probably messed up a lot of things to come. I used to sit back often and wonder why more artists didn't do things like this. All we've ever had on the down-to-earth tip is Summer Stage - but now I see why. Some things are inevitable. And we wonder why Bill 'O Reilly is rich. You do the math.

Here is a video of the madness:

This is my apology to Hip-Hop.

eyeYeyeYeye: All My Single Babies

A video performance of the infamous Beyoncé track "Single Ladies" has been circuiting the Internet for the past couple of days. It's made its way onto news channels and has people talking! But what's the big fuss about? This isn't just your average "Single Ladies" performance, no, it's one by a group of 7-year-old girls and some provocative outfits and some dance moves that are a little too sexy for seven. There is so much that can be said on this topic, like are children growing up too fast, why did the parents approve this, is Beyoncé to blame, etc. but I'll let you view the video and leave your opinion in a comment. Happy watching!

Fat Chance

Meet Donna Simpson


You would think her goal in life would be to get rid of this weight, but that's not the truth at all. What this 42-year old from New Jersey wants to do is double her current weight of about 600 pounds! How does she plan to do this? By consuming 12,000 calories a day six times the amount recommended for an average woman. The craziest part about her mission which costs about $750 a week is that it’s being funded by some freaks who enjoy watching her eat on her website.
What!? This should be as illegal as child porn, according to her interview with the Daily Mail:

“My favorite food is sushi, but unlike others I can sit and eat 70 big pieces of sushi in one go…I’d love to be 1,000 pounds. It might be hard though. Running after my daughter keeps my weight down.”

And on what her ex-husband thought about all of this…

“He worked night shifts and would come home at 2 or 3am and bring the leftovers with him. We’d stay up and eat huge piles of steak, mashed potatoes, and gravy with butter. I started gaining weight quickly and my husband liked it. He said I was sexier when I was bigger, and I felt happier too.”

What do you think of this? Please COMMENT!

Rain Drops?

"Raindrops" have fallen and so has the taste level for R&B singer Jeremih. The latest single off of his self-titled debut album has been released and a very interesting video has been made. I thought that I was being punked when i was watching it, but all I will say is *PARENTAL ADVISORY*!

The video is worse than Drake's "Best I Ever Had" video. There's no Jeremih and all strippers, yes...strippers. If you're into that then have fun watching it. Personally I expected a little more from Jeremih, but I guess some new artists just need to be talked about in order to gain recognition or attention.

RIP to Kanye's Ego

If you're not into the Twitter scene, then you probably missed on out the Trending Topic "RIP Kanye West". No, Kanye isn't dead, but the trending topic was created after rumors circulated that he was killed in a car accident in LA earlier today that appeared on foxnews.com.



Kanye West pulled a very controversial short film from his blog earlier today with the apology
"SORRY I HAD TO TAKE IT DOWN : ("
In the film titled "We Were Once A Fairytale" Kanye depicts himself as a drunken man in the club misbehaving and having sex with women. He eventually vomits and stabs himself in the stomach. It has been interpreted by many as Kanye killing his ego.

What are your thoughts on this incident and the short film?

eyeYeyeYeye: Swizz Beats

On Thursday night(September 24th) Mashonda (Swizz Beats's wife and baby's mother) decided to confront Alicia Keys on Twitter...yes, Twitter! Alicia was tweeting about love earlier that day and MaShonda felt she was being insensitive to her situation since her divorce to Swizz Beats hasn’t been finalized. So she wrote up a long tweet (using twitlonger) to Alicia and claims she will tweet it every day until she gets a response. Check it below:

After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. I’ve never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I’ve reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.


I was a fan of AK’s last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.

Already I can hear some of you saying ” why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats broken”. Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.

My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.

If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create.

Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you would’ve handled things more carefully. I’m not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice. I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it now

This is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we don’t have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!

I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into what’s real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the “people”, this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well.

I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you don’t understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong.

If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because I’m not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised.

To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot.

Stay blessed and lets work this thing out with respect and dignity.

In case you didn’t know, A. Keys and Mashonda came face to face at Swizz Beats birthday party a little over a week ago but there was no drama as the two shook hands and went on their merry way. MaShonda has been pretty quiet about the situation over the past few months because Swizz Beats sought a gag order to keep her from talking about the divorce proceedings. However Alicia Keys has an album coming out in December, and what perfect timing to jump back on the case for MaShonda.

What is your opinion on this?

eyeYeyeYeye: Jadakiss' House Raided

Two city men were arrested on drug charges, and officers are trying to determine why 6 pounds of marijuana, 5 grams of heroin and $40,000 cash were found in rapper Jadakiss' waterfront apartment, police said yesterday (August 24). Jadakiss, the 34-year-old Yonkers rapper, "is not wanted at this time," Lt. Joseph Monaco said. Arrested were Alberto Lajara, 25, of 108 Smart Ave. and Gabriel R. Henriquez, 39, of 102 Lake Ave. (Lower Hudson News)

The incident took place Friday (August 21) morning.

Sean Fogarty and Edward Murphy were driving by the apartment located at 1 Van der Donk St. in Yonkers, when they noticed a car parked on the sidewalk. Upon approaching the vehicle, which was driven by Lajara, officers smelled marijuana and later uncovered a bag containing the drug in the front of the car. Police also questioned Henriquez, who was a passenger in the car and was also in possession of the keys to Jadakiss' apartment. While being questioned, the 39-year-old became nervous and attempted to run from police before being apprehended. After learning that Henriquez was coming from the apartment, authorities obtained a search warrant for the residency, where they found both the drugs and cash. (The Boom Box)


Both men are reportedly in police custody and have been slapped with criminal charges.

eyeYeyeYeye: ATL Housewife Calls 9-1-1

It seems like the Atlanta housewives cannot stay drama free. Allegedly Kim Zolciakof the ATL Housewife cast made a 9-1-1 call stating that she was choked by her cast member. She told police that she was sitting in her White Bently at the Target shopping center. Apparently, the cast member was Nene Leaks, but she denies and "wrongdoings".

These ladies need to get it together and just leave Kim alone. Why is she always in the middle of the drama? I see some truth in a lot of things that she says and I personally think that she's into everything because she's the "white girl". What do you think?

eyeYeyeYeye: ATL Housewife Gets The Boot

No, not off of the show, but according to TMZ ATL Housewife Lisa Hartwell and her husband, former Oakland Raiders linebacker Edgerton Hartwell, were booted from their multi-million dollar Georgia mansion last week -- after the couple defaulted on their loan and the bank sold it shortly after.

Hartwell's rep tells us the couple was in talks with the lender to restructure the loan because the home had lost value -- but that failed. They originally bought the place for $2.9 mil back in 2007 -- but the bank only got $1.9 mil when they resold it this month.

The rep says "Ed and Lisa are fine. They have settled in their [new] home, that sits on 10 acres and they OWN it!"

I'm a little confused as to how they lost her house considering the couple's business in real estate. In the first season of the show Hartwell was seen "working" and selling a house to producer Jazzy Pha. I'm just confused. Anyways, best wishes to the couple and if you didn't know, season two has already started and on Thursday you can catch the third episode where Sheree and Kim get into it! Make sure you tune in on Bravo at 10pm!

eyeYeyeYeye: Sara from MTB2 Slices & Dices

"The former singer from Diddy's MTV reality show "Making the Band 2" has once again made the cut -- but cops say this time Sara Stokes was using a knife ... to stab her own husband.

We know what you're thinking, "someone must've beat the crap out of this woman" -- but according to cops, it was the exact opposite.

This bloody mug shot was taken after Stokes was arrested for domestic violence August 2 at their home in Moreno Valley, CA.

According to law enforcement sources, Sara stormed out of the house after arguing with husband Tony -- she tripped, fell down and accused him of doing it.

We're told Sara -- who hurt her head in the fall -- grabbed a knife and stabbed Tony in the arm -- while their 3 kids watched.

Paramedics and cops came and Stokes was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence. The D.A. is deciding whether to charge her.

Sara's lawyer, Eric Kayira, tells us, "Sara and Tony have a very passionate and loving relationship that on August 2, while having an evening of fun, she slipped and fell, hitting her head heavily on the ground and somehow in the process of helping her Tony got injured."

Somehow ...."

All I can say is wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow (in Flava Flav's voice). Damn Sara what happened?

eyeYeyeYeye: Kim & Reggie Break Up

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush appeared to have a fairytale relationship -- but in Hollywood, there often isn’t a happily ever after. Fans were shocked by the announcement on Monday that the two had amicably split, although according to a source close to the pair it wasn’t such a surprise.
“It’s been rocky for a little while now,” said our insider. They both have contracts on separate sides of the country and it was too much. They used to see each other every couple of weeks, but Kim’s brand is much bigger than it was last season.”

Breakups happen everyday and although Reg and Kim made a great couple (in the world's eyes), at some point or another, all good things come to an end. Who knows, maybe they'll get back together at some point, but this breakup may be good for them. From watching "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" I feel like Kim isn't ready to spare enough of her time to really be committed on the relationship. I understand that sacrifice goes both ways, but then again a football career can be gone at any given moment. It's important that sacrifices are made on both ends if you want the relationship to last.

eyeYeyeYeye: Baby Phat to Go Bankrupt

Baby Phat, bankrupt, huh? Yes, Baby Phat! Here's a watered down version of the article:

Kellwood Co., one of the largest apparel manufacturers in the U.S., could be forced to file for bankruptcy soon, after it failed to reach an agreement with its bondholders, people familiar with the matter said.

The St. Louis-based company, which employs roughly 2,000 people and owns such popular clothing brands as Phat Farm, Sag Harbor and Vince, was taken private in February 2008 by buyout firm Sun Capital Partners for $542 million.
The twin effects of a heavy debt load and a sharp drop in consumer spending have crushed the company's financial results. Kellwood has a $140 million bond issue maturing Wednesday. Unable to refinance these bonds amid the constricted credit markets, Kellwood hired financial advisers to restructure its debt.

The firm has tried to defer the bond payment through a so-called exchange offer, in which the company would swap these bonds for ones maturing in 2014 with sweetened terms. Deutsche Bank AG, the largest holder of the bonds, elected not to tender the offer and a deal is unlikely to be reached, according to people familiar with the discussions.

A Chapter 11 filing for protection from creditors could come as early as next week, though it remains possible the company could avoid such a move. The company has about $500 million in total outstanding debt and about $800 million in annual sales.

Michael Kramer, installed as Kellwood's chief executive officer 10 months ago, said
Deutsche Bank had indicated it intended to accept the exchange offer, but then changed its mind. "They've put us in a bad spot and we can't understand how they could rationalize this economically in any way," said Mr. Kramer, who said the company is in the process of hiring bankruptcy counsel. "We believe this bond offering benefits everyone and their position is very disappointing." Spokesmen for Deutsche Bank and Sun Capital declined to comment.
