The Question Behind the BP Oil Spill

With 2009 profits (that's right, profits), exceeding $16 billion dollars, you would think that BP could afford to write checks left and right to the people whose livelihoods depend on a viable environment along the Gulf coast, but they're not.  I hear that getting some compensation from these people is like pulling teeth.  Now what really puzzles me is the fact that gas prices have been on a steady decline for the past couple of weeks.  I am not certain how this plays in the whole oil spill scenario, but consumers had better beware.  I have always known that oil prices determine gas prices and those prices are based on supply and demand.  (to be continued)

The World vs. The Girl in The Front Row

With the one year anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson approaching, the tributes have begun.  The latest tribute, broadcast on Russian television, features LaToya having a striking resemblance to Simba from the Lion King.  In my opinion, her portion of the performance was downplayed because we all know, LaToya can really, "Get it".  Overall, the tribute was twice as good as the one from the Grammy's earlier this year, but the girl in the audience at the 2:55 mark took the show.  The look on her face was like, "I am not buying this for one second".

The Eloquent and Ever so Lovely, Khia (Thug Misses)

While the rest of the rest of the world is clapping and singing showtunes with the cast of Fox's hit show, "GLEE", the ratings over at ABC must be dropping faster than Kendra Wilkinson's panties, because they invited the Thug Misses herself, Khia to stop by the studios for an interview. Now I am not a big Khia fan, but I must say that she handled herself fairly well when Tanya Rivero made attempts to make Khia look bad and even fuel rumors of beef between she and Janet Jackson. Her intelligence did surprise me. But my question is, why is it that like many other performers and comedians, certain audiences (and we know who they are) get the buffoonery and broken grammar while other audiences get the opposite? You pop the top, watch and tell me:  http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/video/khias-bad-girl-10848482?tab=9482931

Forever Young?

Damn what they sell late night on QVC, I want some of what this cat is using and will up my entire next paycheck to get it. How is it that a man 52 years old, can look like like a 15 year old dolled up for her QuinceƱera? I am soooooo jealous even if he look like he should be a character on the next "Pirates of the Caribbean" installment.


BTW Prince, Anita Baker wants her old wig back.

Hey Y'all!

Okay, okay. I know it's been a while, but so much has been going on in the world lately. I don't even know where to start; the BP oil spill, Gary Coleman's wife and her slickery, or the fact that if you are gay in Uganda right now, you better get in the closet, stay in the closet, lock it, bolt it, boobie trap it and use Queen Latifah as a a security guard to beat down any trespassers.  Click here to see exactly what I'm talking about (not the the fainthearted): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIGCp1_JrGY
