Paparazzi:Make up your Mind Stars

get so tired of hearing people complain about people taking there pictures. I mean without the Camera's snapping your picture what do you have? not much interest of your career. funny thing is that the Paparazzi knows where the folks are gonna be to get there picture taken. nothing happens by accident unlike how so many people like to act like they didn't expect it. when nobody wants to take your picture then you know you might just have to get a real job again. it's a double edge sword no doubt. Lady Diana was a prime example of things going to far&there have been some serious situations,but more often than not the Celebrity tends to make a Moutain over a Mowhill.Bottom line:to Be Famous or Not to be Famous that is the Question.

Tom Cruise needs to Shut Up!!!!!!!!!!

I can Respect Tom Crusie's Long Run as a Bankable Actor.I mean who can't? the Cat is timeless&He is Hollywood's Golden Boy,but when he starts in on His Rants about Prescription Medication for Kids&people or Bashing Brooke Shields because she is dealing with Personal Issues after Becoming a Parent then I feel He has crossed the Line.good for Him that He is In Love&Enjoys His Scientology Faith&whatnot,but please Preach to those that care. that is One of the Problems with some Entertainners: they seem to think that folks care about there stances on all issues&whatnot.people want to be Entertained&to get away&the last thing you need is somebody coming across as heavy-Handed&just trying to push every Agenda they believe&Feel down your throat.

San Antonio Spurs Win over the Detroit Pistons

hopefully next year the Miami Heat will win it all. but this year the Spurs Win it all from the Pistons. the Spurs have now Won there 3 title in 7 years.Tim Duncan now Joins Shaq,Magic,Jordan as the Only Players in League History to Win at least 3 Finals MVPS. these two teams Mirrored One another a great deal in style&Contrast. Greg Poppivich Is Arguably the Best Coach in the League today.He is One of only 5 Coaches in NBA History Win at least 3 titles.Robert Horry was His Usual Clutch Self off the Bench. Giniobli was on point.Tony Parker did Good as well. the Pistons played really good under Larry Brown.Chauncey Billups,Richard Hamilton,Rasheed Wallace,Ben Wallace,Tayshaun Prince gave it there all.Congradulations to Both Teams.

can't Burn Da Flag no More

looks like congress is gonna pass a Law against Burning the Flag.funny how now it's being passed into law.would it happen to have anything to do with alot of Americans Highly Upset about a war that has no end in sight? could it be because oa Recession Looming??how are you gonna feel Patriotic when your Home country is at war? when there is still Racisim,Poverty,Maddness&No Good News hardly ever being Broadcast??? the Flag represents alot of things but also different things to who you talk to. so now it's gonna be a Bill being passed.the timing is very suspect but also with the 4th of July coming you always wonder about the timing of certain things.what will be the Outcome if this Flag Law comes to Pass? maybe next the 1rst amendement will be tweaked with??

Oprah get a Reminder

just heard about Oprah Winfrey trying to go shopping in Paris¬ getting allowed in.I don't care what nobody says everybody&there Great Granny knows who Oprah is.I mean come on the Woman has a Magazine that goes by One Letter. but anyway it's a good reminder that no matter if you worth a Billion Dollars or so Broke that you can't rub too Dimes together if you are Black chances are you are gonna come face to face with some form of Discrimination no matter where you are in the world.I heard about Janet Jackson Expereincing these same fate while shopping in a Upscale Beverly Hills store. once the people of the store discovered who was shopping then suddenly they changed there attitude.Oprah's Press People says this Latest Episode reminds Her of the Current Film "Crash" which tackles Preceptions of Race Relations&How Stereotypes&Attitudes are out here.

so Diane Diamond is writing a Book on Michael Jackson

talk about Obession?? Diane Diamond started out on Hard copy&then has been a Reporter on Court TV. no matter how you dress it up or slice it up she is still a Racist Loaded Vendatta driven so-Called Journalist who has had it out for Michael Jackson for the past 12 years. it seems she has no life whatsoever but to Profit off Michael Jackson. like those Other tired Broads Maureen Oath,Gloria Allerd,Nancy Grace along with Diamond(The Desperate Housewives without a Life) all the did was MJ Bash&when the Verdicts came back in a Clean sweep there Mouths still ain't got all the flys out yet.they all had to eat crow.so this is no surprise because Diane Diamond was gonna follow Her Dream of Profiting off Michael Jackson.

Runaway Bride running to Cash In

why this Broad is getting so much attention is Beyond me.bad enough she lied&now She feels she deserves a Book,TV Movie,Money&a Interviews??? wait somebody hold on up.I never got all of that if I lied to My Mother or Pops.there was no Pay Day for Lying.the only thing I won back in the day was a Belt to My Behind. but nowadays the Runaway Bride is getting treated like she Won something?? I never got the memo on that one.nowadays anything can make you a Star.with all the Reality TV Shows on TV now you get a real life Episode like this that captures a segement of the Population&It turns into a Must See TV special the Night of the NBA finals.Unbelievable in a Half is all I can say.

The NBA&the Racist Age 19 age Requirement

how is the NBA gonna be able to set a Age entering number at 19? it's Racist&Very Loaded. be it Acting,Movies,Music,Tennis,Golf,Hockey,soccor,etc... a Kid can be 18&earn a Living. if you can be sent off to war at 18 then you can Play Pro Basketball.nothing about this from the NBA makes any sense.some kid will come along&take this dumb law passed by the NBA to the Supreme Court&easily win. Maturity comes in all ages.some People are very Mature at age 18&some People are still childish at age 58.too much Politics involved&this is about control but has very little to do with Basketball. I've seen Cats go to college&come to the NBA after 4 years&still be Busts. the argument is that many Kids enter the league&Very few turn out like Kobe,Amare,Garnett,Jermaine O'Neil,T-Mac,etc..... but everything is a Gamble&lets be real:if you want to make a Living Playing Ball&don't want to go to School then why should you?I feel this passing Rule by David Stern is Racist&also Unconstitutional.

Natalee Holloway:still nothing

this young Lady went on a vacation&nobody can say what is going on? all the way to Aruba&No Leads but alot of Arrests. going on a Vacation ain't suppose to be this complicated,but it has turned out to be anything but a enjoyable trip. nothing has turned out or any evidence. still a Mystery that is a headline daily. you hear many things,but they are no closer to solving this Case.it is impacting Vacationing over in Aruba right about now.hopefully this Case will Be Solved with some answers because it has gone on long enough&nobody seems to have any answers one way or the Other.

finally a verdict in the Mississippi case

it took 41 years for the state of Mississippi to find Edgar Ray Killen Guilty of Killing 3 civil Rights Supporters. it's a sad joke on so many levels.it just shows how slow justice is when a case involves rights for Black People in America.and also how easy it is now to finally get a Guilty Verdict upon this Man while He is in a Wheelchair&unable to move freely. the movie "Mississippi Burning" was inspired by this crime.sure I'd like to say I'm happy this case is finally solved,but I won't. there is a double Standard of Justice&this case Proves that point even more than ever before. yeah finally a Ugly Part of History is over,but how many other lives were taken away in the face of Hate&are still unsolved or because it's not seen as Important?? lets hope the next Crime of Hate doesn't take 41 years let alone 41 months or days.

Father's Day

Father's are very Important,but the Day doesn't get half the attention it is due.Mother's are thefoundation,Root&Provider for the Future of children,but a strong Based Father is Equally as Important&Should get the same Respect.it's important to acknowledge what a Father does as well as what a Mother does.some Father's just like Mother's have to play both roles for various reasons.Father's Day isn't about another day over a Grill or watching a Baseball or Basketball game it's about celebrating the meaning of what a parent does not only Everyday but the Sacrifices that enrich lives.

Flag Day

remembering past&present troops who have fought for our freedoms world-wide. Flag day has always been special to me since various family members&friends have fought in wars or have served the United States over time.every Flag Day,4th of July or Veterens Day Our Flag would always go up to acknowledge not only my Grandfather,but also Uncles,Cousins who Fought along with Friends&everybody else that gave of themselves to Protect all of us in the United States. it's a very symbolic Salute.it's something that I think about&always a reminder of the current war still going on.

Senate Apology for Hangings&Lynchs

long overdue to hearing something about the Ugly Past in this Country.this needs to be in History books also on film.everybody needs to know the History of this Country&how unfairly Black People have been treated&the various Unjust things that have happen.Hangings went on the Country like a Bar B Que at somebody's House&that just ain't right. it's long overdue to acknowledge the Uglyness of this COuntry's Past. I feel that Resperations are also needed.you have to right the past wrong to make a better future&do more to Educate all.

Michael Jackson:Not Guilty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the right verdict came back easily. Michael Jackson should have never been at a trial.this case was a bad joke&got way overblown.factor in a Hateful Prosecutor in Tom Sneddon&things were all overblown. if folks want to say that MJ has made so-so choices&other things that is fair, but to Prove a Case of these kind of charges you gotta have strong Evidence to Prove the Charges. I believe MJ will tighten up&Not fall into anymore traps. Michael Jackson is a Musical Genius&is a Timeless Musician.this case feels like it has been going on&on.the Case just never added up.time to Leave the King of Pop Alone once&for all.

Mike Tyson Calls it a Career

Mike Tyson known as Iron Mike&the Baddest Man on the Planet has called it quits after stopping himself in the 6th round of a fight last night in Washington DC. Tyson said himself he ain't been the same since his loss to Buster Dougless back in 1990.Tyson was a Brut of a Fighter.Power&Bang was His Style.He had a Attitude&Style about him that you knew what you had to deal with.He was the Youngest Heavyweight Cahmpion at age 20 almost 20 years back.His first few years in the game he was Unstoppable.He has the most Charisma of any Athlete over the past 25 years IMO.you always waited to hear what Mike Tyson might say or do.He will go down somewhere between 10-25 amongest the Greatest Fighters Ever,but at one time He seemed headed toward a Easy Top 6 or 7 in a breeze. but regardless His Impact in&Out of the ring is timeless.He was the People's Champion.He is one of the few Athletes or people in general that could capture People's Attention for 20 years.Mike Tyson will always get Dap&props from Me for overcoming.Peace

San Antonio Versus Detriot in the Finals

the Finals is Upon us. not the teams I wanted.I was pulling Hard for Shaq,D-Wade&the Miami Heat,but it wasn't meant to be this year but there is always next year. well anyway we have the Champion Detriot Pistons Versus the San Antonio Spurs.Expect alot of Defense&Half Court play.you get the feeling the games are gonna be played at a Snail's Pace most of the time.both teams mirrior one another with the tight Defense which leaves little room for open looks. I think of these two Teams that the spurs will Win it all.but it's gonna be Physical&Ugly in spots. we shall see which team imposes there will on the other.

San francisco 49ers Video Tape Controversy

in Pro sports Locker Rooms you expect a anything goes mentality. so upon hearing about this San francisco 49ers Video tape that depicted any&everything that wasn't Politically Correct.alot of Stereotypes that went down on that Videotape. this team won 2 games last year while losing 14. this is the same Orgainazation that has won 5 Championships in there History.but it's been a downslide for the 49ers for a few years now.now the 49ers aren't the only team to participate in something as this Video&they won't be the last.anything goes in the Locker room&the mindset speaks of how certain people view the world around them.every Ism you can think of is captured on that video,but after a while it will be a passing moment.

the spelling bee contest

i'll never ever claim to be Great spelling&I have to tip my cap to those Kids who do well&the Kid that ended up winning the spelling Bee contest. talk about being focused&knowing your words? alot of the time I'm thinking of words to write or type but might not spell them even half way right. it says alot about being focused&understanding what you are doing.it's a very challenging contest to say the least.

Deep Throat=Deep Trouble

so everybody heard who the real Deep Threat was from the watergate era that Brought down former President Richard Nixon,but the big question is now what gives? does it make you honest or a Snitch?? couldn't imagine anyone having Info without it leaking today,but 1974-75 ain't like 2004 was or 2005 is. so what will become of Deep Throat? some folks feel he is a snitch&didn't help anything. some will give the guy a pass&think he did a Admirable thing. but where is the Loyality? one has to wonder how this will all play out over time.stay tuned.

June is Black Music Month

June has always been special to me for more than Summer.it's also Black Music Month which traces the Roots all the back to Africa. from the Drums of the Motherland to the various Musical stylings&vibes that have made a lasting impact. from Be-Bop to Hip-Hop covering all forms of Music. remembering Past,present&welcoming future Greats. Music has always played a huge role in my life.every day is a Holiday when I listen to music.no matter the season of the year or time Music has gotten me through alot of things in life.reflecting on my culture through Music is special because there are many voices&ways of Presenting the Music that capture a Moment in time.
