Brew News: Shoot 'Em Up? Lose Your Deal!

The lawyer who put Remy Ma in the clink for 8 years wants record labels to start putting morality clauses into their record contracts to discourage artists from hood-ish activities.

Lauren Raysor (the lawyer for the chick Remy shot in the belly) marked the 2nd anniversary of the shooting by announcing the proposal today.

The clause would punish the artists and set consequences for making poor choices.

So, do you think this proposal specifically targets hip hop?

What's your call?

Real Housewives of Atlanta: Who 'gon check me, Boo?

Lawdamercy where to begin with this one. Well, season 2 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHoATL) premiered on Bravo last night and boy did it premiere.

First off, my boo Dwight was not in the show long enough. I was mad salty about that. But he did give a hand-job to a champagne bottle with was too much for my innocent eyes.

NeNe and Sheree mended fences with Sheree telling NeNe how much she appreciated her support and friendship (especially since Sheree is all broke and busted thanks to her deadbeat ex-hubby). NeNe still needs a bra, although the boobage appeared to be pushed up a little higher than last season.

Lisa Wu and her man are trying for baby #2. Lisa is 7 years older than Ed and she fears she won't have the energy or the viable eggs to pro-create. But, they're trying anyway. The trying is where all the fun is!

Kim went to (*hold your breath*) hair school for all of like 2 hours, to learn more about hair for this raccoon wig line she's planning.

Kandi Burruss was rolled out as the new housewife, replacing Tight Teeth. Note to Kandi: freeze curls went out in 1995. Please COMB OUT your curls so you won't look like a rooster.

For more of a recap, check Timaya's video, you won't be disappointed:

The real meat and potatoes happened during the last 10 minutes of the show. Sheree is planning some kind of independence party and, after having difficulties with her diva party planner... THIS happened:

I can't wait 'til next week!

SATC Wants Y-O-U!

The producers of the Sex and the City movie sequel are looking for a few good women to round out the cast. Next Tuesday, August 4^th, the Grant Wilfley Casting company is holding an open call at New York City's Metropolitan Pavilion for "models, celebrity types, upscale socialites, urban club-goers, gays & lesbians, 'xotic types (you know, Middle Easterners, Arabs, Asians, etc…) and professional soccer players (random)."

"Sex and the City 2" is not yet in production but it's rumored to begin filming in early Fall.

Well, I can't do much for the soccer player or the upscale socialite types, but I can get down as a club-goer (it's practically my part time job anyway)… and hell, maybe, I could pass for the lesbian. I'm just sayin'... the chicks dig me (I don't dig back though).

Watchout'dernow, Carrie!

Ne-Yo Needs A Break?

Poor Ne-Yo. The lil milk dud had some kind of meltdown while on stage in Manchester, England last night. He was struggling to get through his songs for more than a half hour.

Fans say he started the show late, then announced he wasn't feeling too hot and walked off the stage in tears.

He did a Michael Jackson tribute and apparently struggled with his voice. Some thought he was just overcome with emotion but one fan said it seemed he had a bad fever.

Check the video:

Well, at least he was gentlemanly about it. Ne-Yo is supposed to perform in Liverpool tonight and two more London-area shows this weekend.

He's expected to return to Manchester sometime in the future to perform again.

Awww, get well Shaffer Smith!

Memories of Mike

By now, you know pop legend Michael Jackson is dead at the age of 50.

No matter where you're from, you have memories of Mike.

Personally, my favorite moments were the first concert I ever saw.  It was Michael Jackson at RFK Stadium.  We had nosebleed seats but I was 5 and didn't know the difference.

Years later, my mother entered a contest with WKYS and filled out over a thousand entries to win tickets for his Bad tour.  And, she won... twice!

Feel free to leave your favorite Michael Jackson memory in our comments section.

In the meantime, enjoy our playlist of some of his best jams!

And enjoy life because it's way too short.

Black Eyed Thuggin’

Gossip blogger Perez Hilton reportedly caught a beat down at the hands of the Black Eyed Peas’ entourage. Perez says will.i.am attacked him in Toronto after the Much Music Awards.

Perez says it went down a little something like this: Fergie approached him, asking why he hates on their group so much. Then, later, will.i.am approached him a bit more aggressively, demanding that he stop blogging about the BEPs. That’s when things got heated. Perez says the manager of the BEPs then punched him in the face a few times, causing him to bleed.

The story is much juicier when you watch Perez’s teary statement posted on his blog. Watch all 11 minutes because the gem is at the end where he shouts out Fergie. Catch it here.

Not to be outdone, will.i.am posted his own response, claiming he did not attack Perez.



Perez and will.i.am are now engaged in a tweet war on Twitter. will.i.am created an account just to deal with the Perez rumors. Perez went so far as to tweet after the alleged beat down and some of his “followers” even called the Toronto police for him.

Twitter is getting quite a workout lately. First the Iranians post their musings about their crazy dictator, now Perez is tweeting about his smackdown.

Note to self: Don’t piss off the Black Eyed Peas.

Anyway, I’d watch out for Fergie. She does have that meth background.

I’m just sayin’…

Stop: Hammertime!

We told you back in February that A&E is giving MC Hammer and his family a reality show. This morning, Hammer appeared on the Today show to do a little promotion for the show. And let me tell ya, this interview right here almost made Kathie Lee Gifford pee in her hammer pants. Kathie Lee made the mistake of bringing up Hammer’s money problems to his 11 year old son (who was only 2 years old when Hammer filed for bankruptcy). And let’s just say that’s a topic “you can’t touch!”



Well, “Hammertime” premieres on A&E this Sunday at 10 pm ET.

My Chance To Find Real Love

Yes, ladies and gents, Ray J is returning to TV (thank you White Jesus)! When four million people tuned in to watch Ray J give Unique the boot (he should have given her a bra) in favor of Cocktail, VH1 knew it had a hit!

So, the network is bringing For the Love of Ray J back for another season because, of course, Ray J is now single. Don’t people know these shows never producer real love. Well, except for now, because I’m about to be up in that piece. That’s right, somebody dust off their freaky flicks porn camera and film my “audition” tape!

VH1 is reportedly looking for women with confidence (check!) and class (burp… double check!). You must be able to handle a man of Ray J’s, ahem, status. Log onto the For the Love of Ray J 2 site to submit your deets and a photo. But don’t put too much effort into it because I plan to win this bish!

7 Strangers...picked to live in a House.....and me stalking them daily!

Now that I'm well over the Real World watching age, MTV FINALLY decides to drop a cast of fools--umm- 7 strangers here in my beloved hometown.

ARGH!! I might just have to watch.

Not to watch the antics of the gay one, the hot one, the slut, the asshole, the virgin, the Black token and the one thrown in for good measure.

I'm watching because I'm planning to do several walk by's of the DuPont Circle House in front of the camera. Just in case you wanted to join me, the address is 2000 S St. NW!!!

Look for me...I'll have on my witches cap!

The show starts filming next month and wraps up in November. Meanwhile, Real World Swine Flu---oooh I mean--Real World Cancun premieres later this month on June 22.

I WONT be watching that one. Until of course someone is sick with the Swine Flu.

Cocaine Is a Hell of a Drug....

Turn your speakers down at the 2:00 mark. He gets LOUD.

Praise ye! O-Mazing Grace!

Entertainment: Damn You Stefani Germanotta

Lady Gaga
Dar Constitution HallWashington, DCTue, Sep 29, 2009 08:00 PM
Onsale to General Public
Start: Fri, 06/05/09 10:00 AM EDT

The first time I saw Lady Gaga was on MTV, and I thought I was watching Logo. ''Aw, who's this tranny?'' I realized I wasn't watching 'RuPauls' DragRace' and turned the channel.

But dammit if this heffa hasn't grown on me. I spend a lot of time with 'kids' wayyy younger than me, and have had to endure the fruits of their generations ''musical'' selections ...on constant rotation. Not only is CD not bad.. but... IT'S GOOD! Who knew!?

Anyway....tranny lady is coming to town.

While Perusing YouTube for videos I came across this gem. lmao!

How You Doin?

Set your DVRs Chocolate City (or in my case… just watch it on my desk-accessible TV at work) because Wendy Williams is bringing her talk show schtick to the nation’s capital.

The Wendy Williams Show had a limited run in 2008. The success of that debut led to Wendy getting picked up by stations in all of the top 20 markets and 45 of the top 50. And talk about an upgrade for Ms. Wendy…the show is being done in the same building that was home to The Montel Williams Show. If you’re in the DC urrea, you can catch her Monday, July 13th on Fox (WTTG) and My20 (WDCA).

Here is my favorite clip from last season!



Who knew Omarosa had fans? *blank stare*

Southeast Sally...Your Meal Ticket is Calling....

Move over New Jersey, here comes Washington, D.C.!

On Tuesday, Bravo announced that it is expanding its popular Real Housewives franchise once again, this time heading to the nation’s capital and seeking women for The Real Housewives of D.C.

They are looking for influential people who rub elbows with the elite...

So Southeast Sally or Northeast Nancy is not on the calling list? I'm just saying. There are some respectable hooker housewives that live in Anacostia and Congress Heights....

What this really means is that these Housewives probably WONT live in DC proper, but instead will hail from our suburban cousins, Chevy Chase, Bethesda and Potomac in Maryland and McLean, Leesburg or Reston and some other far reaching suburb of Virgina. That is where the REAL cash in this area lies...

Prince George's County (cause it's only PG when referring to the hood) Woodmore Residents need not apply! We get enough negro from Ne Ne in Atlanta.

Nonetheless, I'll be watching. And waiting for the moment when they are in Filene's basement in Friendship Heights and I'm stalking the camera behind them..

oooo--shouldn't have given away my secrets

Bangin’ In Little Rock?

T.I.’s days of freedom are winding down. The mini-rapper will serve his prison sentence in Arkansas beginning May 26th. T.I. will get credit for 305 days of house arrest that he’s already served. So, technically, he’ll spend just 2 months in the federal prison. Not enough time to really get his “swole” on in the weight yard.

T.I. will likely get a cell mate (they have bunk beds at this prison). And once young Clifford Harris gets out of the pokey, he’ll be on probation for 3 years. He also has to pay a $100,000 fine.

In case you forgot (but how could you?), T.I. was arrested after trying to buy unregistered guns from the feds back in 2007.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 Divided By Some Skank= Oh No He Di'nt!

So Us Weekly has been all up the ass of this family that is famous for the fruit of it's womb. Litter-ally (WORD PLAY, MUTHAFLUCKAS! )

The TLC Reality show about a couple raising a set of twins and 6 multiples has a Special Guest Star...in daddy's pants... ALLEGEDLY.

Anyway, the mom (That be Kate) was scheduled on the Today show to pimp promote her new book about raising the squad, but instead ended up defending her marriage. As it seems that old Jonny boy has gotten him some young nubile trim on de-side. I guess someone has gotta do damage control for the gravy train.

Now, to my question. It always kills me when celebrities say 'respect my privacy!!' when they are the ones walking around town draw-less getting in and out of autos, doing heroin in parking lots and chit. But at least in that case- these are people who are known for 'something': a talent, a skill, or for being a producer, dancin' all up in the videos (SHUG KNIGHT! shout out for 2009). Maybe they can cut a mean rug and lip sync like no tomorrow, or maybe they made a sex tape. (I mean a sex tape is work. Have you ever tried to tape yourselves? Dude, there's lighting and angles to consider, not letting the cellulite show too much, making sure your technique is displayed...and if you're really artsy, a plot line. THAT IS HARD WORK!)


In this case, cameras were invited into a modest family's home, and the modest family has reaped the benefits like a mutha jumpa. Free trips, new mini-mansion, perks out the azz. Kudos for making that work for you. But, why are they then exempt from scrutiny? Is there a such thing as 'Right to Selective Privacy'? Discuss.

Who You Foolin?

From the “duh” files…

Paula Abdul is finally telling the truth and admitting a longtime addiction to painkillers. She tells the Ladies' Home Journal that she kicked the habit last Thanksgiving.

Abdul says she was on the meds because of several injuries (including a plane crash) that left her in chronic pain.
Abdul will perform her new song "I'm Just Here for the Music" on American Idol tonight.

I don’t mean no harm, Paula, but who did you think you were foolin? We all saw this...

Smell Like A St. Lunatic?

Rapper and Ashanti’s bag carrier Nelly, is releasing a fragrance under his brand, Apple Bottoms. The perfume and body products are due out this fall.

So, will it smell like the apple or the bottom? When you spray it on, will it make you shout “Bananas!” like Ashanti does? Do you have to be a “Tip Drill” to wear it?

These are questions I ask myself. Carry on.

Thriller Lawsuit

From the “where you been, girl?” files…

Remember Ola Ray? The Jheri Curled beauty who was arm candy to black Michael Jackson in “Thriller.” Well, some 26 years later, she is crying “eff you, pay me!”

Ray claims she hasn’t been paid her share of the royalties from the classic video. She’s suing MiJack and his production company for breach of contract.

It’s unclear how much she’s actually owed… her accountants are still adding up the numbers.

Good luck with that.

What Happens When Negroes Don't Vote!

Shocker!

I'm gonna go dribble down my man's butt cheeks in honor of Lil' Kim's ridiculous elimination from "DANCING WITH THE STARS (AND A BUNCH OF MOFO'S YOU NEVER HEARD OF)". LIL' KIM, I HEART YOU!
