Lil Wayne
Originally uploaded by mastacress

No more bling, no more cash money, no more dirty south, no more music period because according to Lil Wayne and based off of the Mayan calendar, the world as we know it will end. Sources say that the rapper digs into the Mayan calendar and it basically tells of the world ending in the year 2012.

"The world is about to end as we know it. You can see it already. ...Mosquitos bite you and you die. And a black man and a woman are running for president."

Those are the words of the notorious rapper and he is convinced that the end is coming based off of those ancient peoples, but there is no doubt that one of these days and at some unknown time and year, the earth and the things we know in it will truly end. However, that time, well, it more than likely isn't based on that Mayan calendar. The calendar that Lil Wayne has stops in the year 2012 and this is why he draws his conclusion about Armageddon. Thus there is nothing that actually states that the end is what will occur. The calendar just stops.

There is a book, however, that is proven the most prophetic book in all of history and no other can top it - The Bible - and it doesn't give a date, so if we are all here, then we will see what 2012 does bring... along with Lil Wayne.

Now the fact that a black man and a woman are this close to being president in the USA, well, that is enough to make you pay attention to the times really closely!  Something is a changing!

        

Sen. Hillary Clinton
Originally uploaded by seiu_international

With her mission loudly and clearly heard throughout the state of West Virginia, Hillary Clinton took the win from Obama by a big margin. This was likely to be the case prior to the W. Va primary. Despite Hillary winning this round of votes, it isn't enough to overtake Obama for the win.

According to the NY Times, 8 out of every 10 voters counted here said that race played an important part in their vote. So race was truly a big part in West Virginia's primary, however, race isn't a part of the delegate count as it looks because no matter what Clinton wins, she still won't overtake Barack Obama-even if the wild race card is played.

Clinton won 67 to Obama's 26 percent. It just looks like West Virginia doesn't want to back Obama. 7 percent went on to vote for a man who isn't even running anymore - John Edwards. Hmmm.

Yeah, Drew Barrymore is not one that you want to hit and run. Apparently, Drew's car was hit by a reckless driver in the back and then the driver sped off!

Drew Barrymore then chased down the assailant who did get away. Sorry Drew. Word is that she did turn in the license plate number to the police.

        

Remy Ma

At 26 years young, Remy Ma gets a sentence that will make her 34 if she serves the whole entire time behind bars. The rapper was convicted of shooting a female while at a nightclub in NY.

Remy Ma stated according to sources that she thinks the jury was biased which resulted in the sentence handed down. Whatever the case may be, Remy Ma could have faced 25 years. In her own words, "There was no tan, dark brown, black, nothing on that jury," "It's a whole conspiracy against rappers right now, so I already knew what it was."

Her nuptials were also cancelled due to Papoose, her fiance, getting caught smuggling a gift to her behind bars. Word is that the gift was a handcuff key! Wow! Everything is postponed.

        

DMX
Originally uploaded by j_zero_photography

Times have not been excellent for rapper DMX lately, from a speeding arrest to now charges for animal cruelty and drug charges in just the recent days after a raid on his home. According to sources, DMX had apparently barricaded himself in his bedroom away from the officers, however, after some time passed, surrendered.

This is another downward spiral it seems for the rapper as he always seems to have an inner struggle. DMX is known to have said that he thought he had a call into the ministry of Christ and even made it official that he was dropping a gospel album. Then there is another side to DMX, as with many, that sometimes goes off on the other end with trouble. No one is perfect, however, DMX seems to always be a man in an extremely hard internal struggle with the good and the bad or how he would like to be, in a sense. Hopefully things begin to look up for the rapper as this past week for him was full of facing the law.

DMX was released on bail.

What the heck was Erik thinking?  Why on the face of the this entire water and land filled earth would you give up your special priceless immunity idol against four female competitors?  Okay, okay, okay...we can give him credit on ... no we can't.  That was the biggest mess up, the most magnificent set up in Survivor history.  Gotta feel sorry for him on this one because it was simply too huge.  If you didn't see this episode, watch it.

Carey, Mariah

"It's part of the whole purpose of getting married," "I'd just want our children to have the best childhood and upbringing they possibly could." - Carey

It's almost unreal but so true. It happened so quickly that it is taking a while to catch up with her and Nick, but yep, they have tattoos rocking their marriage together while even discussing children already.

Mariah states that is the whole purpose of marriage, and seems ready to take on the role of mother. In the same way the wedding and marriage got started which was quick, fast and in a hurry, it would not be a shocker if a bundle of joy popped up in the oven and fast for the newlyweds.

        

Rihanna

"I get asked about it all the time and I'm like, 'You are asking, but you know the answer.'

"I don’t even like to address it anymore, it's crazy that the press ask me that. People know that it’s not true."

"We've always been friends, but we are very close now."

Many of those rumors about Rihanna and Jay-Z being an undercover couple in an affair came flying back around after an awards show when Rihanna was caught by the cameras yanking Jay-Z onto the stage with her by the hand. Though friendly and as friends, it seemed to many as quite the opposite. Despite all the rumors however, Rihanna and Jay-Z are not in some type of affair and Rihanna is sick of answering questions about the lie.

The relationship is strictly friendship.  Update: Word is that she got caught planting a fat kiss on Chris Brown at a KFC, so that is where the relationship may truly be.

        

Hillary Clinton
Originally uploaded by lauren victoria burke

It is undeniable. Hillary is a woman of great strength and courage, intelligent, a fighter, and even a great candidate for president of the USA, however, it is now time for her to take a step back, count, and then step down to allow the process to continue while backing the highly likely democratic nominee, Barack Obama.

The numbers are against her especially with the last two counts of NC and IN. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that she will end her campaign even after donating 6.4 mill to the cause. This is what it is turning out to be - only a cause. One thing to remember is that she has made history as the very first lady and First Lady to run for the presidency successfully along with a strong US backing. That being the case and her still being the first successful woman to run as well as her cause being seen around the nation as great and powerful, it is still the best thing more than likely for her to step down and hand someone the entire torch and that torch can only go to Obama.

They are fighting for the same team, and would hope that neither one of them would want to do anything to destroy it

        

Hitched with a prenup and happy is how Nick and Mariah seem to be in this photo of them together seeming highly intoxicated on love.  Only after a month or two of knowing one another, they must have known that it was something in the air that was gonna bring them together in holy matrimony.

Nick Cannon, 27 years of age, was born on October 8, 1980 in the state of California, and from a very young age has been a performer.  He ventured into comedy and music while sharing the stage with such greats as Will Smith and Montell Jordan, and soon after he struck gold on television after moving to Hollywood.  Now Nick is not only a comedian, but an actor, producer, and rapper that has his own show Wild N Out and production company called Mr. Renaissance.

Mariah Carey, 38 and on her second marriage, has been on the music scene since...forever...with countless hits and recently bumped Elvis over with another number 1 on the Billboards from her newest CD, E=mc2. 

        

Barack Obama's winning smile
Originally uploaded by dugout

The wave for this 2008 election is to color a vote, and if you do that, Barack Obama won NC and crossed all the racial barriers while doing it. NC is mostly Caucasian and most of his vote, then, came from that population. He also won the African American vote there.

This is exceptional being that the whole time he has run his campaign, the media has stated that he needs a highly populated black vote, but they can't say this anymore. Clearly, race isn't as heavy an issue in this election as some planned it to be.

Obama has proven his leadership ability to the public as well as his survivablity when critiqued and mocked for various reasons from the top of the governement on down. What the public likes most about him is that he is real.

Congrats on his NC win.

The split was horrible as both twins along with Flav were left teary and shaken.  Later, due to plain old competition backstabbing, Thing 2 got booted also with a bit of help from Sinceer, the other female out to win Flav by any means necessary.  But .........if you caught the last episode that aired, Thing 2 magically appeared again as Flav couldn't stop thinking about her obviously and brought her back to the show. 

What now?  Oh we will see as Flavor Flav delves into another round of love with Thing 2. We will also find out what type of twisted leftover ties Sinceer and Thing 2 have to untangle as their love for Flavor Flav runs deeper.  Once friends - now enemies.  Will their fighting be worth it, or will Flav simply choose the newest girl in the bunch - Black?  We will see.

It would seem that the Reverend Jeremiah Wright is way out there with his beliefs on the government, but not so fast. There are many out there, though they would probably keep it silent, that truly agree with him.

One such person is Rosie O'Donnell - "Here's what I think. There is a place in the world, an inspirational, liberational kind of preaching that Reverend Wright does.

You know when you read what he says, I was not as offended as the people in the polls that I read.

I listen to him, and frankly, it made sense to me. I totally understood what he was saying."

-"But there are things that white preachers have said that are just as insane."

-"He was comparing it to when the government did give syphilis to black Americans for 40 years. What he was saying is in his history, in his genetic memory, he knows what it's like for the government to infect his own people because he lived through those Tuskegee experiments. And that's what he was talking about.

You can't sort of pull the quote. He didn't just say, you know, "the government made AIDS." It's the same when I said, you know, you can support the men and not the man who sent them there. You can support every single Marine and Army man and Navy man in this war ..."






In all actuality, many people on the street, both black and white, who know the history of people period that have lived in this country understand what Rev. Wright was attempting to say in his complete sermon and not just the pieces played in the media. As far as facts are concerned, there have be atrocities on American soil from as far back as the American Indians, slavery and lynchings, disease injections of black men in the military (syphillis), and the list goes on.

However, when looking at government(s) all around the world, all have done some dirt, and America truly isn't excluded. The Rev. Wright does have his own opinion however about why things happen to America on many issues that may not be carved in stone and people may choose to follow that same belief or not, but one cannot deny that these things did happen on American soil and also around the world in other ways as well.

At any rate, the media has completely blown the Rev. Wright story into a made up controversy that should never have been. However, it can do the country some good as it brings up the hurt that has haunted America, and leaves more room for healing to take place regardless of what race you are.  We all can learn the why in each other better instead of becoming angry at a difference of opinion without attempting to understand.

R Kelly
Originally uploaded by planetacid

Sex. R Kelly. These two have seemed to go together synonymously since the R&B singer began to branch out into his own with music, creating a style and theme surrounded much by sensual and erotic tunes.

The Bump n Grind superstar, Robert Kelly, is soon to be in court as jury selection is this week for his alleged child porn trial in which there are charges coming from a video tape that presumably shows R Kelly involved in sexual acts with a minor who was around 13 to 14 years old at the time the tape was made. There is a small snag in the case however. The so called victim, who is said to be in the tape, is stating that it wasn't her, and her stance is to support R Kelly.



This is a major problem for the prosecution of course because without her testimony, they have nothing. There is however another woman who is supposed to come up in the trial that may smooth out the prosecution's case against the singer. The unidentified woman is said to have had a threesome with both the young female(victim) and R Kelly while the victim was a minor. This testimony will in fact curb the testimony of the young female (victim) who denies that it was actually her in the video tape by presenting her as a liar to the court, thus, attacking her credibility.

So this is when sex becomes not so great as in the tunes set forth by the superstar. When sex leads to jail time, there may be a little something something wrong with Bump n Grind after all. Surely and hopefully, R Kelly wishes that all of this would just go away, but just like DNA, certain evidence tends to keep popping up. However the case shuts, it will be interesting how the two contradicting testimonies of the two women will play out for the R&B singer, R Kelly.

Not from their own lips just yet but only from the clergyman that married them from Governor's Harbour of Eleuthera presided over their wedding according to VH1. There is also info that the jeweler who made Mariah's ring confirms their marriage as well.

So it looks as if the couple are truly a legal couple and married. Still waiting on word from the two of them however to piece everything together.

Congrats to Nick and Mariah!
