Brew Bits: Sly Fox vs. LL Cool J

LL Cool J is accusing Faux Fox News of misrepresenting him in an ad for Sarah Palin's new show. According to L, he gave an interview to Fox years ago and they ran that old interview implying that he would be apart of "Real American Stories" *insert gag reflex*. Fox fired back saying it has removed L's from the clip and a spokeman for the network issued the following statement:

"Real American Stories features uplifitng tales about overcoming adversity and we believe Mr. Smith's interview fit that criteria. "However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cuting his interview from the special and with him the best with his fledgling acting career."

Fledgling? Son, you didn't see "Deep Blue Sea"? That's a classic! So let me get this straight; just because dude doesn't want to be misrespresented and is on top of his bidnass you diss him? Boo Sly Fox, just boo!

Tweet Talk: LL Cool J Offers Some Inspiration....

See some inspiring qoutes tweeted by James Todd Smith, I really like this one: "Success often comes to those who have the aptitude to see way down the road." BAM!

I don't know if he made these up himself or he got them from somewhere but hey, we could all use a lil nip and tuck I mean pick me up, right LL?!

Celebrity Letter: The Smiths

Dear Simone and LL, 

Every time I see ya'll I get a little misty eyed. Then, I snap to my senses, man up and mean mug a b*&tch.  You give me hope that true love really exists and you look so happy together. Not to say your relationship hasn't been through the ringer. Anytime you're with a man during the time he's supposed to be "sowing his wild oats", a woman is going to take some L's (no pun intended), but I like that you have kept it together since Farmers Boulevard. If you break up who will be my role model couple? Dwayne and Siovaughn? That "Union" is dunzo. Pepa and Treach? Old news, plus he beat her so bad she had to write a book about it. Johnny Gill and Eddie Murphy? Naw...those two bottoms haven't been seen together in a minute. See what I mean? LL maybe in between selling clothes at JC Penney's you should conduct relationship seminars and let these brothas know, after you lick your lips a few times, that it's okay to "put a ring out it". 

Love,

Me
