Anybody Else See The Resemblance Besides Me?

Between actors Flex Alexander ( Top ) and Corey Reynolds?

I swear they look like they could be brothers. Those familiar with urban tv shows go way back with Flex, but Corey I never knew existed until I started seein' him in commercials for some cable cop show called "The Closer" that comes on TNT. Corey plays Sgt. David Gabriel opposite actor Kevin Bacon's 'ole lady, Kyra Sedgwick. I never watched an episode before but I did some diggin' around and to my surprise, Corey and Flex AREN'T brothers. I guess it's true what they say: Everybody Has A Twin.

Deputy Police Chief Brenda Johnson (Sedgwick) runs the Priority Homicide Division of the LAPD with an unorthodox style. Her innate ability to read people and obtain confessions helps her and her team solve the city's toughest, most sensitive cases. ( Sgt. David Gabriel )

Gotta Love Cube and Kim

He sure whuddn't lyin' when he said they did "Laker Night" on a regular durin' the season. Here they are last week and this week comin' from the game. I jus' have one question though. Where's Kareemah? I want them to bring her out more, I'm a fan and it's been almost 6 months since I seen her! ( P.S., i'm mad that little Shareef is wearin' that Lamar SCROTUM jersey )

( That's Kareema behind her mom, Kim. Cube looks about 5 months preggers himself in that shot )

( Kareema and the Fam in 2007 at the Are We Done Yet? Premiere )

Besides that, I love this family. I do wonder though, in light of the fact that Cube now owns the Golden State Warriors as of April '08,

is he takin' notes at all these Lakers' games he been attendin'?

Curtis, Did You Do This?

'Cause that's what yo' ex Shaniqua is sayin'. Matter'a fact, she said you told her you was gon' have somebody come take her out ( and I don't mean out on a date ) and to watch what happens.......and now this: The house that y'all fightin' over....

now looks like THIS

I get the whole beefin' with the baby mom's and all but......her AND yo' lil' boy was in the house when this mug blew up and she say you ain't even called to see if they was alright. Like, what's really good? I'm willin' to hear your side........

One of my readers had this to say though:

"Shaniqua is currently trying to sue fiddy for $50 million dollars and it is reported that during court proceedings or what have you, her man and some of his loser friends tried to get fiddy to engage in an altercation. This woman is to vacate the premises soon. Now this? She (and her other baby daddy) stayed at this place rent free and receiving over $20 grand in child support. I find it suspicious that this place is burned down now and, of course, fiddy is to blame. Not buying it."

Good point. This changes the game...so Shaniqua, maybe YOU'RE the one that needs to fess up.

Dude's In Serious Need of a Chin Transplant

Foreal.

I really REALLY don't see what the appeal is when it comes down to women and Wayne. He looks like a deformed predator which is a bit odd, to say the least. While you have people like Jay Leno and Jessica Simpson's sister walkin' around with boomerang chins, Wayne don't even have a whole one that he can compete in the game with. Can somebody please tell me what the appeal is?

Maybe I Didn't Know Because

I couldn't really give a care but I ran up on this old side shot of Paris "Tweety" Hilton before she had plastic surgery. I 'on't know, I guess she thought her nose was too big or somethin' but as far as I can tell, it still looks like a beak even AFTER she had a few pieces of cartilage shaved off. Whatever.

Ever Wanted To Just....

Man handle a couple of b**ches like THIS?

Take 'em by the throat and jus'......strangle the livin' day lights out of 'em for walkin' around, actin' all brand new like they sh** don't smell like boo-boo. Drag they ass down the stairs and into the dirt like Mista did Celie from the Color Purple when she was tryin' to fight for Nettie's right to be in the house with free room and board. I know a couple of broads right now who I'd like to go "Mista" on. Broads that throw stones first and turn around and wanna cry when they get hit back with a boulder. Deserving of their grills getting cracked so hard that they end up lookin' like broken saloon doors. Needless to say, I vent. *drinking out of my flask*

Anyway, that being said and out the way, yo, this was a good a** scene in the Color Purple, foreal. Danny Glover and both them ugly girls who played Celie and Nettie were robbed of Oscars on the real.

Need A Laugh?

Stare at this picture of KRS-One for 5 seconds and see if it doesn't prompt you to comment.

It May Look Like 3 Different People But It's Not

In light of this recent picture of Lil' Kim taken at the Sex In The City premiere, I have to ask: What exactly is the goal here, involving her face?

Are we tryin' to go Asian with the look or somethin'? What would possess her to get the sides of her eyes stretched so far back that we can barely recognize her now? * sigh *. My kid will never believe me when I tell him that person in the orange is the same person below:

hell, I even remember when she used to be THIS person below

"Gangstas Don't Dance, They Boogie"

Yo, what the hell is THIS mess below? I keep seein' pics of these knuckleheads in Cannes or wherever, up on other blogs and I wasn't gon' give 'em any shine but this one pic, I had to comment on. What the hell did Shawn Carter think he was doin'? He looks hella "special" tryin' to get his groove on. He know he ain't feelin' this. How you go from bein' a thug, as he would say, to wearin' a suit and doin' some damn two step side dance? I wish I had a cream pie, I would throw it at his face.

Remember THE BOYS?

( Bilal, Khiry, Tajh & Hakeem )

They look more like the Marley's now though. I heard about their earthy transition a couple of years back after they moved to Africa and changed their name to Suns of Light. These dudes have really changed but I'm glad to see that they are still alive and together as brothers. Fortunately, they're still makin' music too so if you're interested in hearin' some of their new stuff, you can head on over here.

Here go Bilal and Tajh singin' in a room, lookin' like they ain't had a bath in about 30 years though.


And here are all of 'em in various shots with toddlers ( possibly their own now ). From the beach scene, looks like Tajh ( my all time favorite ) has at least found love over there.

Star Jones, The Sleestack

For those of you who grew up in the late 70's and early 80's you'll be familiar with what an old show called The Land of the Lost.

Sleestacks were creatures on the show that hailed from the lagoon and not only were they dangerous but they were enemies of the humans who resided on the island along with dinosaurs and some other crap. With that said, this is where I got my vision of Star Jones from. The Sleestacks had breathin' problems.....the same way she does. The Sleestacks had madd eyes.....the same way she does........and the rest of the resemblance is uncanny. So I present to you: Star Jones, the Sleestack.

I Don't Know Who This Is But....

Her stomach looks like a butt, foreal. I don't know who's idea this was but they must have been smokin' on some dirt and eatin' dog food at the same time.
Shout to to Michael K for the pic.

Hell's Kitchen - The Game

Those that know me know i'm a huge fan of chef Gordon Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares. While I'd never subject myself to his verbal abuse on film OR behind the camera, both shows be havin' me rollin'. As a person who is also a SIMS fanatic on PC and Console, imagine how excited I was when I found out they about to turn Hell's Kitchen into a game too!!!
Peep here for the game synopsis and screen shots. I can't wait to play this mug.

• Features
  Career Mode: Play an entire career calendar. Work up from a Single Star to a prestigious Five Star establishment.

• Arcade Mode: Serve as many demanding customers as you can - before Chef Ramsay closes the kitchen.

• Set in Hell's Kitchen – play in the Kitchen and Dining room. Gordon Ramsay recipes unlock as you progress.

• Recipes from the TV show that you can try at home- print them and share with friends via email!

Oh and incase you were wonderin', perhaps the best news of all is just like Ramsay's show, the game is filled with bleeped out swear words. He says things to gamers like: "That's rubbish! Get that into the f**king bin!" and "That's Rancid!!!" This game is gonna be bananas!

F**k off, you donkey!!!

And while we're on the subject of Hell's Kitchen, for those of you who are watchin', there's only 2 of "us" on the show this season ( 4 ): Jen and Bobby

Both of 'em can't cook they asses off but as to be expected, the rest of the cast can't stand Jen 'cause they ain't feelin' her strong attitude. She was voted off the girl's team this week and sent packin' to suit up with the guys because of all the hate. Bobby's a 5 Star Chef where he comes from but he's not exempt from Chef Ramseys' beligerant antics neither. The show comes on Tuesdays at 9pm.

I Couldn't Resist

The other day me and my husband were watching Passenger 57 and it dawned on us who Wesley Snipes' leading lady in the movie looked jus' like.....MJ when he did Remember The Time.

LOL!!!!!

Actress Alex Datcher

MJ

What's With The Leg Bruises?

On Beyonce's left leg? Did she leave the shells on Jay-Z's shrimp again??? Did her tooth scathe the bottom of his scrotum much to his chagrin? ( I'm jus' playin' ). On the real though, that leg look like there was some madd furniture movin' up in their hotel room over somethin'. Poor thing. I understand Jay can go "THADE" ( from Planet of the Apes )

real quick if he don't agree with somebody. I'll never forget when he went bitch mode on his "ex boy-toy", Larry Johnson for appearing in Fantasia's "When I See You" video.

Johnson: “He definitely did that. Between me and you, he definitely didn’t want me to do that Fantasia video. I definitely got cussed out for that one. He told me there were a lot of things he wanted to do, but he couldn’t do them. He said, ‘You gotta be able to look at yourself as a business, as stock, and the less things you do, the more people will have interest in you. The more things you do, you water down your value.’

Tisk. I ain't seen them niggas together nowhere since that incident.

Oh yeah, shout out to Just Jared for the Beyonce pics

I Don't Know, But I Wouldn't Be Surpised

An exclusive from YBF is postin' word that Ursha and his diesal cougar, Tameka have filed for seperation after 9 months. Why? I don't know but I hear she runs things like a drill sergeant. Rumor's been spreadin' for a cool minute that his son just might not be his after all. That would suck, considerin' Ursh has a interlude on his new album dedicated to lil' cuzz called "Prayer For You". If this rumor turns out to be a farse, this post will self destruct.

UPDATE: Looks like some folks were a bit too presumptuous with this one,'cause Tameka's people have shut down the rumors that Usher and her had split up. It was rumored that the couple have been living separately for 3 months. The two are over in Europe traveling while Usher is on his European promo tour. Shout out to the homie UrbanNewz for the update.

Kiera's Review: UNDER ONE ROOF

I've never watched the bafoonery that is Under One Roof but a good friend of mine named Kiera shared her take on My13's newest travesty:

"Well the first ( episode ) was some bull ish involving the mixed daughter ( Flav's neice ) going with a new lady in the neighborhood (black) to delve into her black roots since her mom is white and her dad has "become". So you got this heiffer learning slang that we really don't use all that much, gettin 'to know her peeps, ( groaning inwardly) , and the mom, who thinks she's losing her daughter decides to get closer to her daughter by exploring her roots with her. Needless to say it involves fake junk in the trunk, blacksploitive references to pigs feet, chicken, ribs, and booty dances, to say the least. I'm all for humor but this ish is a covert operation to keep us down and lookin' like fools, and these idiots are parading around like its all gravy, helping these people out. With Flava Flav, they aint got to crack the whip, that idiot takes our credibility down ten notches all by hisself."

I couldn't agree more, Kiera. Sounds like a pile of garbage. Might as well give Flav some spats, a top hat, and a coat with tails and tell him to do a "Hello My Baby, Hello My Honey" jig.

Damn, when are we gonna learn.

Are They Gonna Prosecute Karl Malone Too?

I'm jus' curious, in light of the R.Kelly Trial of him smashin' and then wizzin' on a 13 year old girl, are they gonna prosecute retired NBA player Karl Malone for smashin' a 13 year old girl and getting her pregnant when he was 19 too? I think they should - time shouldn't make the situation any different. What, jus' 'cause "The Mailman" didn't deliver on tape, that makes what he did years ago ok?

Karl @ age 22 in 1985 ( 3 years after smashing the minor )

Demetrius Bell - born in 1982 ( result of the smash )

It's my understanding that Malone didn't have to answer for screwin' a minor 'cause his son's grandparents didn't ask the DA to file criminal charges and neither did R.Kelly's human fire hydrant's folks.....so, what's the deal? If it was up to me, they BOTH would be prosecuted.

Do We Wanna Believe This?

Word on the streetz today is that "Bird Chest" has asked the "Crack Head" to make their "jump off session" a legal one on paper.....or so they say. This mutha-truckah. I don't DO MTO but I do ride with Necole Bitchie and she's inclined to think dude's recent interview with Essence Mag proves this whole "marriage proposal" just might be legit. Peep:

On Proposing To Whitney: I respect all the young men who are getting married and taking a stand to be faithful and having a good woman in their life who supports them. That’s a good, good look for young men. I congratulate all the young men with the older women who are helping these young men to grow and the young men for keeping the excitement in a beautiful woman’s life. So with that said, I don’t know…

Essence.com: So you don’t know if you proposed to Whitney?

R.J.: I can’t say what happened. All I can say is that young men are being responsible, taking control and being bosses, that’s what I’m doing right now.

Essence.com: So you’re not going to go on record on whether or not you proposed?

R.J.: Yeah, I’m just going to say it’s good for men and women to connect and have a spiritual bond so I congratulate everyone who’s doing that right now.

Essence.com: (Laughs) And does that also mean congratulations to you and Whitney?

R.J.: (Laughs) I’d like to congratulate Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey.

Essence.com:(I read him the mediatakeout.com blog item about his proposal)

R.J.: (Laughs) Wow, Blessings to the United States of America! Blessings, blessings…

Essence.com: (Laughs) I get it “blessings” is your “no comment.” So you won’t confirm or deny the proposal?

R.J.: I can’t right now. You know, things happen so fast. Wow.

Essence.com: I also know that celebrities often have someone in their camp planting the seed for the media to grow and build on.

R.J.: Yeah, but I just woke up for real. For real, this is crazy.

You know what? It's been passed due for this nigga to catch crabs or somethin'. He can continue rubbin' up against Whitney's sticks ( legs ), startin' brush fires if he WANTS to but she's played and so is he. This ain't nothin' but a ego thang. To be bangin' a legend I'm sure makes him think he deserves some kinda crown. Ass hole.

I Have Officially Died.....

Somebody decided to HOOK UP A REMIX video for the notorious Soulja Girl on the Marta Train incident and I officially began getting fitted for my coffin after lookin' at this mess. Yo, the girl who's playin' Soulja Girl is ON POINT foreal and check the passengers getting up as a group and gettin' involved. I literally pointed at my screen in laughter. Grandma, clad in the grey coat and hat jumpin' up in response is what sent me over the edge. Shout out to the homie Fresh for postin' this.

It's Not Right But.....

now I know where they got the Evolution Theory from. * crickets *
