Q:Where are you from, ethnicity?
A:I am from Cincinnati,Ohio and I live in Cincinnati and Atlanta. I know its very confusing lol. I am mixed with African American, Puerto Rican, and Caucasian.
Q:Fun fact Little known fact.
A:I love to play laser tag and roller blade..Though I rarely have time to do either of those things. I am a BIG kid J
Q:Aspirations , ideal photographers and business plans.
A:My aspirations are to do my best at anything I set forth to do. I use to say I want to be the best at anything I do, but there is ALWAYS someone better than you at what you do. My ideal photographers are photographers that come up with powerful creative ideas and aren’t afraid to tell me how they want the picture to turn out, but also not afraid to try my ideas as well. Right now I am preparing for the launch of my website, as well as the relaunch of my current company (Life and Royalty Modeling) and in the midst of all of that I am preparing for my next business venture, but I unfortunately can’t release any information on it right now L. I have just recently been announced as the Modeling Editor for Ourbloc.com so that is something else I am excited about.
Q:Favorite film and why.
A: My favorite film right now has to be “HangOver” that movie was hilarious. I could watch it a million times.
Q:Turn on
A:I can’t just name one turn on I have to name several because they go hand and hand. Men with goals and ambition, respectful and has manners for not only me but my friends and family. Being attractive is nice but as I get older I find that it is not all it’s cracked up to be. You have to have lots of personality and can hold an intellectual conversation, while also being able to have lots of fun.
Q:Turn off
A: A man that tries to buy a woman’s love or attention. If you want a woman to take interest in you then you need to invest in the time to find out what her interests are.
Q: Why be a model, and what are your other talents
A: I love modeling and all aspects of being glammed up. You get to play different roles that you wouldn’t get to play in every day life. Modeling is a nice and fun way to lead me into my future goals, which involve me owning my own modeling agency. My other talents consist of massage therapy, singing, acting, and writing.
Q:You like best in a man or woman_
A: (man) Ambition is the best
Q:If the president and congress passed one of your laws or legislation what would it be.
A:I don’t think that I could give one answer for that. There are so many things that still need to be changed that I couldn’t just settle on one.

"Good hair" Are we as blacks our worst critics?
Check out this clip from an episode of Oprah. Chris Rocks film "Good hair", has succeeded in raising dialouge amongst america and within our african american community. However as always, a black woman, "Seemingly corporate or middle class" HAD to stand up and sound off on something she was too lazy to do her homework on. She had a strong opinion, in dis taste of his film and SHE HASN'T EVEN SAW IT YET!!!!!!!!!!. Watch below and lets discuss it.
My point is, i understand not everyone is going to agree with everything good or bad with our community. However My points are the following
- Chris rock (a comedian) uncovers strong truths within his comedy, his material is always honest and initiates neccessary dialouge from everything between, Sex,relationships, politics, and now "Black hair"
- If he did some PBS special with Oprah narrating, and negro spirtuals, there would of been hundreds of urban hairdressers in out rage "why he aint keepin it real, this ain't what black hair is about."
- Suppose he did a film about Black men's hair, then women would be mad that he didn't do a movie about black womens hair.
He is simply asking a question " WHY DO WE FOCUS SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY ON OUR HAIR?" We should be proud of our heritage, and if we want to be different and invest in stylings, then we shouldn't be looked upon as "sell outs". RESPECT individuality, do not discriminate based upon your beliefs, status quo, or ignorance.
Jonathan Mccoy 11yrs old. "Commited to eliminating the "N" word"
I dont think you can "get rid of " ANY word, how about we educate our youth, as this man shows such knowledge and passion for his beliefs. Just because we get rid of it doesn't mean people will quit acting like it and treating us this way.

More school, no summer vacation? (your thoughts.)
From the associated press (More school- Obama would curtail summer vacation)
Read the entire article here, below i share my thoughts.
Immediately after reading this article i ask myself and all other parents reading this. Should we have longer hours and classes in school,year round school, OR spend more time reading and following up with our children at home?
To me longer school and more hours is like when the teacher spent days teaching the same lesson or the entire class explaining the work and you were thinking "Ughhhhhhh, can we come on, i got it already, these folks need to catch up and pay attention."
So i think we aren't spending enough time with our children at home teaching them AND we should check into theyre teachers. Some kids (like my daughter) get a little bored, learning the same thing over and over, or not being challenged. And are the teachers passionate about teaching or just reading from the book and lesson plans?
Whatever works to keep our children educated im all for it. One good thing that could come of this is children don't have time to run the streets or get into trouble. So why not create more after school programs, maybe even make it mandatory for the children (parent allowed) to remain in after school care once enrolled. (maybe thats a little too much like jail.
Think about it if you work 8-10 hrs a day, how much do you look forward to a day off, or the weekend or vacation. And what will this mean for the parents whom work during the extended school hrs, will we have to pay for extended transportation or adjust our work schedules?
I'd love to learn more about this, because its pretty sad the government has to step they game up to raise OUR children, since we cant seem to do it ourselves, but hey maybe its for the better. (illuminati anyone) lol

HOLLA BACK: How do celebrity stars go BROKE? I want to know. (Jasmine Guy files for Bankruptcy)
Below is an article from TVOne, about the beautiful humble gracious (seemingly) Star of "A Different World" Jasmine Guy (Remember yall she was cool with 2pac?, just a fun fact). Read the article and i would love to hear from anyone IN the industry to explain to us common folks, how celebrity's go broke.
THE FACTS
Jasmine Guy has filed for bankruptcy.
THE SPIN
In tragic irony news, Jasmine Guy, famous for playing the privileged and pampered (yet oh so lovable) “Whitley Gilbert” on A Different World just had to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
While she did indeed get to keep her most cherished possessions in her divorce settlement with Terrence Mitchell Duckett, she also kept a pile of debt.
TMZ reports that documents filed in L.A. Superior Court show she filed for Chapter 13 due to the couple’s load of debt.
Guy herself owes $123,503.64 in back taxes and penalties… plus interest. Her husband owes $94,354.71.
Jasmine has gotten herself a role on the popular new series, “Vampire Diaries,” so here’s to hoping that check goes to the tax man and not the corner store dude for a pack of Newports (ya’ll know Whitley smokes).
Or: Try to come out with another single. Talk all the noise you want, but everyone knows Jasmine Guy’s “Try Me” was that knock.
YOUR SPIN: How do you think stars go broke? Tell us here.

Free Cars? In a Recession? THIS IS LUDACRIS
It will be raining cars this LudaDay weekend all over Atlanta.
Rapper, actor and now humanitarian, Ludacris and his nonprofit foundation are partnering with Nissan South to give away 20 used vehicles, plus a month's worth of free gas to qualifying Atlanta residents.
Ludacris started The Ludacris Foundation in an effort to share some of his blessings by giving back to the community. His LudaCare initiative is dedicated to supporting young people and families in dire need of help. The "Stars for Cars LudaDay Weekend" will help those families who lack transportation to get back and forth to work or even to a day care.The event will take place Sept. 6, between 1pm and 3pm at the dealership. To enter the contest, participants must apply by Sept. 3 to The Ludacris Foundation at essay@theludacrisfoundation.org. Contestants should currently not own a vehicle, be at least 18 years old and have a valid Georgia drivers license; they should also include their names, addresses and contact information. Applicants will also be asked to submit a one-page essay on why they think they deserve a car.
An added FYI: All donated vehicles will have passed emissions and Georgia State safety requirements. Each vehicle donated will also carry a standard 30-day powertrain warranty. Winners will be responsible for taxes, registration, tags and insurance. So ...
BRING YOUR CHECKBOOKS!
The Vanishing Black Male (share your comments below.)
I found this documentary while surfing (iseecolor.com) and would like to share it, and my thoughts with you.
Great film. I agree, were not vanishing (but i can see how some can arrive at that conception or ideal.)
We, black men are simply becoming watered down.Were not as proud, educated, strong,supported, uplifted, responsible, encouraging.
True, most of us black men are either dead or in jail. But instead of looking at where we are lets examine how we got there and how we can prevent or save us through.
War- Im all for supporting anyone that fights for our country or any country, but whyyyyy, are so many of us dying in war, what exactly are we fighing for when we have a huge battle at home. Lets take care of home first then the world.
Jail- Poverty, lack of education, little to no moral up bringing. All can lead to prison. We are kings by nature , and often provide security and a lifestyle for ourselves and families. The fact that most of us cannot find jobs quickly enough (because they are out there,) We turn to other means of income, or simply give up. You can't knock a man for providing for his family by dealing drugs, robbing banks, when his back is against the wall. Society constantly lifts those of high caliber and frowns on lower class citizens.
Responsible- Were not raising responsible morally aware men, so they begin a path on the wrong road. Some choose better later on in life and some are trapped.
Were not raising enough black men. Theyre becoming manufactured. (Propoganda, music and entertainment, and very secret plots to dilute our communities, read "the willie lynch papers" still very relevant.)
One by one we should do our part whether its with our own children or being an example, and for those of us that can afford it financially and morally, lets do more than just be an example, take a young man or woman under your wing. When you click play, it will securely re direct you to the home site (snag films)

Review- “Letters to a young brotha” By Hill Harper.
6-3-2009
Overall I feel satisfied, inspired, and encouraged after finishing this book. Im most interested in improving my relationship with my little cousin (Eric) rather than my sons, Eric over the years has sort of become my mentee or rather a young soul I wish to guide positively and support.
Ok, to the review in a minute, (or 2). I wasn't going to do a review but in light of joining "the gentleman's club" at www.maritorres.com I take some responsibility to spark other discussions and subjects other than me and Mike's current challenge (which I will win, lol. Whats good Mike "the solution" ) So, I'd primarily like to share this for my comrades and any young soul willing to listen (or read lol)
You can google the gist of the book but I'll give you a minimal trailer, the book covers the exchange of letters between a "young brotha" and Hill harper (He's starred in many films and the t.v show CSI: NY) Game recognize game, if you know his name you know his game. I know Hill Harper from several films, I hardly watch csi, but I dig his movies. Ok, so he shares the emails between he and the "young brotha", whom asks hill for advice on everything from girls,money, sex ,and purpose in life. There are also a few emails which Hill enlists some of Hollywood's elite to help and encourage the "young brotha". One great point in the book comes from now our 44th president who attended college with Hill and at the time of the book, Hill suggests that people see Barack as one day becoming the president of the United States,. I wonder how hill and the "young brotha' feel about that coming true. There's some great stars in there sharing hope and affirmations, Hill seems to genuinely want to guide and help this "Young brotha" . Im going to call my younger cousin and ask would he read the book if I let him borrow it, listen kids want to do good, and if you give them the chance, most of them will rise up to the challenge humbly.
I dig the book, not LOVE IT but I dig it, something that proves to me there is still power in us men to raise young men, even if they aren't are children. We don't all have to take up a mentee ,or adopt a child. We all have talents and a passion for something, and if we can manifest that to others especially young men, in some shape form or fashion, I think all of our 'young brothas" will follow our footsteps and guidance. So don't judge our young men, encourage them, support them, share YOUR story with them so they can see you DO know what your talking about.
Im no big blogger but there you have it, my review..

7 Tips to get you laid
Dates can be fun, if they are not predictable, but in my travels I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of people don’t know how to go on a good date. All too often the first date is an overly expensive movie, where a good conversation cannot be held. Then after you’ve been dating for a while, you end up back at the movies or your favorite restaurant. So I’m sharing a few dating tips that are bound to get you laid.
The date doesn’t start once you reach your destination, it begins as soon as you first see the person. So why not start having fun as soon as you lock eyes. Set up stages to a date:
* Dancing Machine: Ladies, turn on some music and do a dance for your man, while he sits in the living room. It would be a good treat for him since he had to wait for you to put the finishing touches on your outfit. You’ll send a message that you’re ready to have fun and it’s something different and exciting that will kick the night off right.
* Ruin Your Dinner: Another fun thing you can do is stop by Godiva and pick up a box of chocolates, Having a small piece of chocolate before you go out is a fun, especially if you feed them to each other and then it’s a nice gift she doesn’t have to lug around the whole night like a single rose.
* In Early Out Later: A lot of fun things start around midnight, but that doesn’t mean the date has to start then, why not transform your house into a sensual and romantic place. I used to have a red light bulb that I would put in when I had company, but you can also put some scarfs over your lamps, light some candles and oils and your favorite adult beverage, and enjoy each other. You can talk, kiss, or whatever and really build a connection to the soul.

T.I.'s Last Concert b 4 jail.
Grammy-winning rapper T.I. told fans he would stay optimistic when he heads to prison on a federal weapons conviction. The 28-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford J. Harris Jr., performed for a packed audience Sunday night in Atlanta's Philips Arena less than two days before he is to begin serving the sentence of a year and a day. Many in the packed crowd of about 16,000 people held up encouraging signs, like one reading "T.I. We Will Miss U!" He must report by noon Tuesday to the Federal Correction Institution at Forrest City, Ark. He was arrested after prosecutors said he tried to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers from undercover federal agents in 2007. During the concert, T.I. said he hoped that everyone learned from his mistakes. He brought his five children on stage, often holding one of them while he performed "No Matter What" ? a single off the almost double-platinum album "Paper Trail." T.I., who won a Grammy for "Swagga Like Us," also performed all his hits from "What You Know" to "Bring 'Em Out" to his recent chart-topping singles "What Ever You Like" and "Live Your Life." Teenage rapper Soulja Boy also joined him on stage.
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama tapped federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court on Tuesday, officials said, making her the first Hispanic in history picked to wear the robes of a justice.
If confirmed by the Senate, Sotomayor, 54, would succeed retiring Justice David Souter. Two officials described Obama's decision on condition of anonymity because no formal announcement had been made.
Administration officials say Sotomayor would bring more judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any justice confirmed in the past 70 years.
Obama had said publicly he wanted a justice who combined intellect and empathy ? the ability to understand the troubles of everyday Americans.
If approved, she would join Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as the second woman on the current court.
Which actor made more money than Will Smith last year
Jerry Seinfeld tops this list of stars with reported earnings of $87 million a year. 'Seinfeld' residuals must still be coming in strong ;)
Will Smith is pretty close behind with $80 million. He gets well for being considered one of the last bankable movie stars!
'American Idol' host Simon Cowell reportedly makes $72 million a year. Whew! I guess he can afford to leave the show if he wants, can't he?
Jennifer Aniston makes $27 million, while Brad Pitt reportedly makes $20 million. I wouldn't have guessed that Brad makes less than Jennifer, but I guess if you're counting 'Friends' residuals, that could make a big difference.
Mike Vick - Hip hop and the politics of punishment
By Tolu Olorunda
“What if Peyton was fighting dogs instead of Mike Vick?/”
—Jadakiss ft. Nas, “What If,” The Last Kiss, 2009.
“They say I’m all about murder-murder and kill-kill/ But what about Grindhouse and Kill Bill?/ What about Cheney and Halliburton?/ … How’s NaS the most violent person?/”
—Nas, “Sly Fox,” Untitled, 2008.
“What if history was changed?/ Slavery reversed/ Would black ladies see white boys/ And clinch they purse?/”
—Fredro Starr, “What If,” Firestarr, 2001.
Finally, Michael Dwayne Vick is free—well, not so. Stuck with an ankle monitor, Vick is to spend two months of home confinement at his Virginia residence. Last Wednesday, the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback was released from a Leavenworth, Kansas, federal prison, after spending 19 months there for allegedly running an illegal dogfighting ring.
Right on cue, the sports media is fired up and ready to go. Weeks before his release date drew close, the pundit circuit had begun setting parameters under which Vick could once again play the sport he was untouchable at. To hear them tell it, he would have to make a public apology, televise commercials warning against the dangers of dogfighting, beg for Roger Goodell’s (NFL commissioner) forgiveness, and make amends—financially—for his wrongdoings. Among other things, he would have to join forces with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)—the same organization which recently asked that he undergo “mental evaluation”—to emphasize regret about his past conducts. Vick is being pressured to form alliance with this group, which ruthlessly engages in crude advertisements, ostensibly to justify their love for animals, such as dressing up in Ku Klux Klan (KKK) garbs and accusing targets of attempts to create a “master race” of pure bred dogs—which, they argue, shares similarities with the KKK’s values.
Forbes magazine National Editor, Michael Ozanian, captured this whirlwind of self-satisfying rhetoric-fest last Saturday, in a column titled “Free Michael Vick.” He wrote:
Vick has served his time under the law. He should not have to bend over backwards and do summersaults to prove anything to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Vick should not have to kiss the butt of the Humane Society or assist the animal rights group in any way. He should not have to “donate” any of his future earnings to any causes to repent. The law is the law. Vick broke it and paid the price. It is now time to completely free him.
It’s important to note that Michael Vick spent 19 months behind bars for a crime, inhumane as it was, more mainstream than the elite, gotcha media tried to make it out to be. (And it ain’t just Black folks doing it.)
The acerbic condemnation lashed out at Vick during the beginning stages of his trial, proved that, for many, it had less to do with Vick’s alleged crimes against canines, and more with his function as a Black Quarterback (an anomaly in the league). And not just any Black QB, but a fearless one—at that. Before the prosecution could unravel all evidence sought in incriminating Vick, most pundits had convinced themselves that not only was he guilty, but jail time was due. The reason for this was explained by Black Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback, Donovan McNabb, in a 2007 HBO documentary.

Is black Radio really worth saving?
By Tolu Olorunda
“As a new mother, with a two-month old, I refuse to let these companies, these corporations, call my daughter a ‘bitch,’ a ‘hoe,’ a ‘n***er.’ It’s over. It’s not about ‘free speech.’ It’s about you’re peddling drugs into the mind of our community. What you do is addicting our children to violence.”
—Rosa Clemente, Hot 97 protest, 2005.
“Turn off the radio!/
Turn off that bullsh**!/
… What’s on the radio—propaganda, mind control/
And turnin’ it on is like puttin’ on a blindfold/”
—Dead Prez, “Turn off the Radio,” Turn off the Radio: The Mixtape Vol. 1, 2002.
“Can you get down, can you talk trash, can you get funky, can you get nasty? You got the job! Now look, Brother, that’s the basis upon which they hire you… Don’t you know why Black people are not productive—it’s because their minds are being controlled. And you are the agent that they’re using. You—in Black music.”
—Hon. Min. Louis Farrakhan, Jack the Rapper Convention, 1980.
It’s rare to have Rep. John Conyers (Detroit) and Rev. Al Sharpton (Heaven?) publicly split against each other, but a recently-passed bill (H.R. 848), championed by Conyers, just accomplished that. The “Performance Rights Act” has created a full-blown spectacle, even enlisting the megaphone of media mogul, Cathy Hughes, who called it a “bill that could put many black owned radio stations out of business. And force others to abandon their commitment to provide free music, entertainment, news, information, and money losing formats like gospel and black talk.” In recent weeks, many, including the inimitable Dick Gregory, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Tom Joyner, have rallied in opposition to it.
The bill passed last Wednesday in the house, but not before a rally organized by Ms. Hughes, herself, outside Conyers’ office.
It should be duly noted that H.R. 848 didn’t just spring up like a thief in the night. For months it had been in the works, and for months, faithful public servants like award-winning Hip-Hop journalist, Davey D, had been raising their voices against the dangers it could cause—to Black radio.
As early as January 27, 2009, Davey D had begun sounding the alarm. By February 24, he was convinced that if Conyers greased the wheels for the passage of the bill, “He and his collogues will be regretting their shortsightedness… Conyers and his ilk will one day sadly discover that those outlets will not be able to accommodate them in an effective way because many outlets like mine play music with our talk.” At the time, Davey D speculated that perhaps the “esteemed Congressman has been duped and bamboozled. Someone on his staff has given him bad information”; but many of Conyers’ opponents aren’t so willing to give him that much credit anymore.
Davey D explained, in plain English, the content and character of Conyers’ handiwork. It’s worth quoting at-length:
If this goes through, what will essentially happen is that we will find ourselves in a situation where it will become real costly to play music. This new coalition is really the same outfit that went and gutted internet radio making it so it costs 18 cent a song per listener. Do the math and ask yourself why we don’t have more stations? It’s too damn expensive after you reach a certain amount of listeners. The rate is scheduled to go up to 25 cent a song per listener in 3 years. This means if you have something cracking and you get even half a million listeners it will be impossible for you to pay for it, even with advertising.
But as much as we’ve been alerted to the danger involved in a potential loss of this vibrant part of our culture, we must be just as willing to question if this effort, on the part of executives like Cathy Hughes, is even worth it. We should also demand from them what their true motive, in this fight, is. After all, Cathy Hughes, as founder and CEO of Radio One, hasn’t been so beneficial to the younger Black community.
In 2007, Jahi, the California-based Hip-Hop artist, asked a timely question: “When will Radio One be held accountable for the music they are feeding to our kids, matter of fact, all of us?” Jahi railed against Radio One and Cathy Hughes for promoting a Spring Fest Miami concert series, with artists whose only prerogatives seem to be the pursuit of material wealth and other self-destructive acquisitions. Jahi felt that as much as Don Imus, the disgrace radio jock, was tossed into the lion’s den for his “nappy-headed hoes” comment, and justly so, the Black Imus-lites on the airwaves should be met with equal amounts of antagonism, from an irate community: “[T]he date after the controversy broke, I heard an artist say “beautiful hoe’s” on the radio (RADIO ONE). Yeah they bleeped out “hoes” but [we] all know what [was] said. What does Radio One and Kathy Hughes have to say about that?”
Jahi has a valid point; but the question, in my view, should be broadened and more inclusive: “What do WE, as a people, as a generation, as a culture, have to say about that?”
If we’ll be frank, and I certainly hope we can, most of what is played on Black or “urban” radio stations across the country is unadulterated bullsh**! Bullsh** in perpetuity. The same hedonistic, materialistic, misogynistic set of 5 – 10 songs is rotated by slow-witted DJ’s, whose sole claim to fame is the ability to read scripts—pre-written by record label executives—about how “ill,” "hot," “siccckkk,” “phat,” “dope,” and “crack,” a select few of commercial artists are.
These fu**ed-up “on-air personalities” couldn’t care less what impact their role is having on the collective psyche of the Hip-Hop community. They take pride and joy in a job which trained-robots and machines can do effortlessly and, dare I add, more eloquently. These backbone-less puppets have no depth into which their integrity refuses to dive—as long as the promise of financial solvency abounds. Anyone who doubts the verity of my contention need only switch their radio frequencies to any station with the title “Hot” or “Power” before it. Try it. C’mon.
Another experiment for the non-believers and doubting-Thomases out there: Here are 10 well-known, fairly successful artists who, for sake of their political audacity alone, are less likely, if not totally unexpected, to be heard on Black terrestrial radio:
1. Jasiri X
2. Amir Sulaiman
3. NYOIL
4. Immortal Technique
5. Invincible
6. K’Naan
7. Rebel Diaz
8. Paris
9. Kam
10. The Conscious Daughters

Jamie Foxx's Alleged Gay Lifestyle Exposed
Posted by wendyista.blogspot.com at 9:26 PM | PERMALINK | Labels: Gossip, How You Doin, Jamie Foxx
Jamie Foxx's actions in this photo speaks volumes; Plies better watch out.
It's been a few months now since Stephen Taliver allegedly attacked Jamie in a Philly hotel room. Jamie said today about Taliver: "He's now on a 60-day hold in a psych unit... God bless him, I hope everything works out for him."
But, why we're really posting his comment isn't because it's a good gesture, but because we've been waiting for an opportunity to post the rest of this entry, which comes from a publicist who suggests Jamie arranged to meet Taliver for sex (but things didn't go as planned), and the singer/actor and his PR firm have been paying off gay men and fudging the truth for years -- all to keep Jamie's gay lifestyle under wraps.
Here's the post from Lipstick Alley: [ start clutching your pearls now! ]
First, let me start off by saying that this is obviously a fake username and no I don't have an account on here. I've been a lurker on LSA for quite some time and it was directly related to my job. My job in fact had me lurking on various message boards to find things out about my firm's clients. What do I do? More like what did I do? I was a publicist in one of the top 5 firms in Hollywood (no not Roger & Cowan). The latter part should make it obvious that I am neither A. nor W., which means I was not nor have I ever been Jamie's publicist but I know things.
From here on out anyone I can't outright name will be called by the letter of their first or last name and bolded.
Some of this "tea" (as you call it) will be old because it goes back to early 2004 but it is quite relavent to now.
Back in early 2004 Jamie Foxx was in a club in which a man came up to him and supposedly said what's up to Jamie and then proceeded to "grab his breast" <-Jamie's exact wording. This is how the story was spun by the PR firm. However, lets disect this a bit. What gay man do you know would actually go up to a straight man and grabs his pecs regardless if he knows him or not? Gay men are already afaird to openly hit on guys who are not in a gay club anyway so why did this guy feel so comfortable enough to do this? That's because a few weeks earlier him and Jamie had sex. What he actually said to him was, "Hey baby. What's up?" Jamie was furious and hit the guy. His PR firm spun the story away and apparently dude was paid off. Another encounter happens again. His PR firm hushes it. Jamie is on thin fucking ice with his team and he knows. Another incident happens. How do they decide to spin this one away? Well, what all PR firms have done! They make up an elaborate story. Do you all remember when some sex photos of Jamie Foxx and some woman came out? They claimed that a man named Mark Pithian from Las Vegas went through Jamie's trash and found the pictures. Mark Pithian doesn't fucking exist. Pithian apparently was a victim of a beating by some of Jamie's supposed friends (which the PR firm had him deny, the point of the story was to make him seem straight not a thug). Mark Pithian then filed a police report that you can read on a certain site. Said site was contacted by the PR firm to hide the victim's name, which they did. Now ask yourself why? The firm leaked the damn story and even mentioned the man's name several times. That's because dude doesn't exist! I want all of you LSA detectives to find me Mark Pithian in Las Vegas. He was made up. If you're shaking your head and calling me a liar then continue on with me here... Fast forward to now with this creepy old dude who Jamie thought was Bey's producer. C'mon! You can't tell me that you don't see through this shit. I was a bit surprised by the lazy PR work but I'm sure they will redeem this one. When Jamie sets up his meetings with men he makes sure that his bodyguard is not present, which would clearly explain why he had to tackle the man off himself. As for the naked bastketball games I know it's true but the info I have isn't first or second hand but from what I was told the game starts off naked and whoever doesn't make a basket has to do a sexual favor. Don't hold me onto to that. What I do know is that the PR firm made him sell his house because a few neighbors saw more then what they were supposed to see. Anyway, that's it for now. here's the audio from "Superhead" alleging he was gay as well a few years back.

What Would You Do if You Found $6 Million in Your Bank Account?
Posted by wendyista.blogspot.com at 10:11 AM | PERMALINK | Labels: Legal, Random
New Zealand police have launched an international search for a couple who fled with millions of dollars after NZ$10 million ($6.05 million) was accidentally deposited into their bank account.
Detective Senior Sergeant David Harvey of New Zealand Police said in a statement on Thursday that an investigation team was working with Westpac Bank on the case.
New Zealand's news agency NZPA said the couple, who ran a gas station in the northern city of Rotorua, had applied to Westpac Bank for a NZ$10,000 ($6,176) overdraft but 1,000 times that amount was paid into their account in error.
"The individuals associated with this account are believed to have left New Zealand and police (are) working through Interpol to locate those individuals," Harvey said in a statement.
"Westpac Bank has recovered some of the money which had been inappropriately withdrawn."
He refused to say how much of the money had been recovered or give any other details. He would not comment on which country the couple may have fled to.
But local newspaper The Rotorua Review quoted a source saying that a police liaison officer was sent to China recently to search for the couple.
Westpac refused to confirm the amount of money missing but in a statement said the bank was "pursuing vigorous criminal and civil action to recover the sum of money stolen."
Banking ombudsman Liz Brown told Rotorua's The Daily Post newspaper that generally it was a criminal offence for people to spend money that was accidentally put into their bank account if they knew it did not belong to them.
In her 15 years as banking ombudsman she said she had been involved in 10 to 20 cases of this kind which were legally referred to as "payment by mistake."
Playboy is for $ALE. (talk about hard times.lol)
Playboy Enterprises, the far-flung empire founded by Hugh Hefner in 1953, is quietly being shopped around for $300 million, sources tell the Post.
But so far, well-heeled suitors that have been approached, like Apollo Capital Partners and Providence Equity Partners, haven't stepped up.
The battered company's market capitalization is now around $100 million and nobody has been willing to pay the substantial premium that it would take to persuade Hef to sell.
Sources said the sellers are looking for far more than the company's market capitalization because that would ensure Hef has enough on hand to maintain his lavish lifestyle.
"Everyone says he'll never let go, that he'll take it with him to the grave," said one source.
The empire's iconic bunny ears are one of the most identifiable trademarks in the world, but the empire has fallen on hard times as the Internet and video-on-demand have eroded its core brand, the magazine.
Hefner, now 83 years old, said recently that one of his biggest regrets was taking Playboy public.
He still controls about 70 percent of the voting stock, and as of March 31, the second-biggest shareholder was Wells Capital, which held a 10 percent stake. Fidelity is third at 7 percent.
Sources said that James Griffiths, a former president of the entertainment group, has been involved in the potential sale process.
Playboy has been under intense pressure and has been furiously cutting costs. In the most recent quarter, the company said it lost $13.7 million, compared with a loss of $4.2 million a year ago. Revenue eroded to $61.6 million in the quarter from $78.5 million a year ago.
Christie Hefner, Hef's daughter, stepped down as CEO in January and formally left the board at its annual meeting last week, severing her ties.
A Playboy spokeswoman said, "We have not received a proposal for purchase, nor has Mr. Hefner indicated that he will listen to proposals regarding a sale. However, as a public company, we will listen to proposals that could create value for all of our shareholders."
