Rock The Bells
Get ready to either jump in glee or roll your eyes. Dustin Diamond, more commonly known as Screech from Saved By the Bell, is writing a tell-all book entitled "Behind The Bell". The book promises to talk about sex between cast members, hardcore partying and drug use. I hope none of you are shocked by this, we have been shown time and time again how desperate Dustin Diamond is. From celebrity fit club twice, to being on saved by the bell as a high-pitched kid for THIRTEEN years, to an ill-received sex tape, he clearly is strapped for cash. Well, love him or hate him, kudos to Screech Diamond for making the most of his fifteen minutes. Update again when the book comes out.

Rappers and Their Similies.
I was sitting in my new room last week reading an old magazine. On the cover Lil Wayne is wearing a metal muzzle and a straight jacket. And the magazine and Lil Wayne are suggesting he is crazy. I have long since thought Lil Wayne had to be a little skewed i n the brain, at the very least, but listen to what finally convinced the world. In the interview Lil Wayne compared himself to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. After years of comparing himself to God and other higher beings. Lil Wayne compares himself to a great human being and all of a sudden he is crazy. Dr. King did a lot of good for the world and I am not sure I agree with the comparison, but what about that comparison is completely unbelievable, whereas the God references are accepted. Where are America's ideals if that is the main cause of concern, a reference to another person.

T.O. a Hero
At the ESPY Awards last night, the main attraction certainly were the the superstar athletes and the movie stars. But the best story of the night was after the show. ESPN columnist Sam Alipour was hit by a limo when hailing a cab after the show. When he was hit, guess who was the first to come to his aid? You guessed it, evil, media villain, Terrell Owens. Sam Alipor wrote about his experience in his ESPN column, saying that Terrell stayed with him the entire time he was being treated and only left once the paramedics had cleared Mr. Alipour.

Jay-Z and Timbo!
The next Jay-Z album will be produced entirely by Timbaland, and they are both guaranteeing a classic. Timbaland was quoted as saying "He wants me to do the whole thing this time around, I'mma make it a classic too. You better believe it. It'll be a monster! I always say this: You get a first single from me, I'mma get you up to gold. And it's hard to get you up to gold in this day and age." I can't wait for this album, but thats the same with every Jay-Z album.
Mikkey Halsted
I was looking around myspace, and I found a new rapper that you should give a look at. His name is Mikkey Halsted, hes from Chicago, and he was signed to Kanye's label. Remember in the song from College Dropout when Kanye was talking, "One of my homeys that was one of my artists, he got signed. But it was supposed to really go through
my production company, but he ended up going straight with the company. So, like I'm just straight holdin' the phone, gettin' the bad news that dude was tryin' to leave my company"? Well this is him..so enjoy his biggest single "Liquor Store"

Barack Obama sparks an assault case.
A 25 year old New York City graduate was assaulted by four teenage girls for wearing the above shirt (which cost $69), made by Israeli-born designer, Doron Braunshtein. She says that the girls surrounded her and started toy yell at her, and even pulle dout her earphones and spit in her face. The deisgner claims that he neither responsible for the lewd acts, nor is he concerned with Obama's race but rather is designing shirts that represent the views of ordinary WASPs. He was quoted as saying "For a lot of people, when they see Obama, they see a slave. People think America is not ready for a black president." He continued to say that Obama "reminds [him] of Adolf Hitler" and does not like him because he is Muslim, which is a rumor that has followed Senator Obama for the entire campaign. It looks like New York City is just a little bitter of the loss suffered by Senator Clinton. But at least they're keeping it tasteful, thanks New Yorker.

The Dark Knight
The new Batman movie "The Dark Knight" is finally here today. The funny debate over the movie was whether the movie was getting undue publicity just because Heath Ledger has died. I thought it had because honestly, batman is shown three times in the preview...but look at this video I ran across at Collegehumor.com
Wow lol. Apparently the Dark Knight is actually supposed to be titled "Joker is the Best Villain We Could Create and We Are Going to Prove It". The Joker is the main attraction in each of the films, even though I must admit that Heath Ledger absolutely destroys his role in the new one, I cannot wait to see how he handles the role.

Chasing Laura
I was on facebook and reading a note of my friend Larry, and he brought up an interesting point I wanted to expand on.
In the popular show Family Matters, Steve Urkel chased Laura Winslow from Day 1 until the end. The nerd Urkel was never good enough for Laura, but in season 4 he found love in the form of faithful girlfriend Myra Monkhouse (i wikipedia'd the name Im not THAT big a geek LOL). Myra loved Steve as is, top to bottom, and like most foolish human beings, he took her caring for granted and never truly valued her. He even went as far as to create a machine to turn him into the suave and debonair Stefan. Then and only then did Laura appreciate Steve, when he was no longer himself, but a person who she wanted him to be. This brings up two interesting points. The first is that Steve was so stricken with tunnel-vision that he ignored Myra (who, let's be honest, looks better than Laura anyway) completely and still chased Laura. He even went as far as to restructure his DNA to be with her! The second point is that Laura, was so blinded by Steve's outward appearance and dorky nature, to even see that underneath was a guy willing to do anything in the world for her. A guy who would stand by her no matter what. Only when he was the cool, and mature man Stefan who was no longer as interested in her as Steve was, was Laura willing to fall in love with him.
This situation is not uncommon, there are Myras Urkels and Laura's out there right now reading this, my only advice to you is to step back and view the whole picture. There are few things better than a person who truly makes you better and makes you want to be more. And that is not something that you should ever pass up on.

Vibe Magazine's Best Rapper Alive Tournament
First off, I love this idea. This is probably the best news in awhile. VIBE magazine is hosting a best rapper alive contest. They are going to poll 64 of the industries best emcees, from past and present to get the standings. Okay, that being said, take a good look at the bracket below and let me know if you notice something funny...It looks to me as if the person arranging the people did the seeding based on relationships. What are the odds that Redman and Method Man face off? Come on ViBE make the battles fair too....Soulja Boy vs. Eminem...hes done lol. Thats all for now, updates as the battles ensue.

Castration Catastrophy
Jesse Jackson wants to cut off Barack Obama's nuts.
And I think with that we have signaled that the reign of the traditional black leaders is officially over. I don't want to see another person apologizing to Jesse Jackson, or asking Reverend Al Sharpton for forgiveness. These leaders have proved inept and are no longer needed. They have lost touch with their base as what naturally happens with progression. Neither represents the young black culture at all. And Rev. Jackson has further proven that he has lost his rabid ass mind, by stating he wants to "cut [Obama's] nuts off"
