Howdy….what’s crackin’? How’s it goin’? Hope all is well…!
Another week, yep – yet that’s right - another week has gone by and we are officially into the month of November which by my calculations leaves less than 2 month before CHRISTMAS!!!! Aaaaaaaaargh – I hear you say lol.
The weather is getting colder by the minute but, fear not – your weekly dose of celeb goss, is bound to warm you up!
Well first off I just want to express my sincerest condolences to Jennifer Hudson and her family in light of what can only be described as a horrific nightmare!
In case you did not already know, the mother, brother and nephew of Jennifer have been murdered!
The police have detained the ex husband of Jennifer’s sister as a possible suspect and they have identified a possible motive as being, centred round missing car payments.
A candlelight vigil was held earlier on in the week outside the home where the bodies of the
mother and brother were found.
The vigil attracted people in their masses and they all sang songs including a rendition of Jennifer’s current single 'Spotlight'.
Sheesh – it’s just so sad!
Even the American idol judges expressed their sadness over Jennifer’s loss.
Promotion of Jennifer’s new film, ‘The Secret Life of Bees’ has been postponed as well as an open casting call at the Apollo Theatre for the 2009 national tour of Dreamgirls. The casting has been rescheduled for the end of November out of respect.
Jennifer has set up her own charity that is designed to help families of murder victims called the ‘Hudson-King Foundation for Families of Slain Victims'.
The family have released statement saying, ‘The specific purpose of the foundation is to care for the needs of families who have lost relatives to a violent crime’.
I have to say, words fail me when it comes to commenting on the whole tragedy. I think is so sad and so unfair!
I just hope, Jennifer finds the strength to carry on and long may God continue to help her through this difficult time.

Moving on slightly, Janet Jackson is apparently feeling a lot better.
The Rock Witchu tour has resumed and Janet thanked fans, via a short video clip, for all their well wishes and support 
whilst she was ‘sick’.
Although the concerts may be ‘rolling’ again, Janet suffered another set back. LL Cool J announced he had quit the tour due to ‘scheduling conflicts’!!!
Hmmmm, not sure I’m buying that one….
Anyways, it seems as though no replacement has been drafted in to cover LL – but the show goes on….
Well sort of anyway, Janet has had to cut a ‘sexy’ segment from her concert in Detroit. This was done in compliance with Michigan state law.
The segment that was ‘cut’ featured Janet taking a male fan from the audience, tying him down and ‘molesting’ him whilst her dances proceed to mime various sexual acts including masturbation!
Ooooooer – the thought!
From one Jackson to the other…..
Jermaine Jackson has confirmed there will be a Jackson 5 reunion tour.
He has also said, both Michael and Janet will be on board – whoooooooooop – where’s my ticket?
Jermaine went on to say, ‘This has been a long time coming for the Jackson family’.
Oh yes indeedy, it sure has!
He continued, ‘It is going to be a more like a family affair, Janet’s going to open and of course, the original Jackson 5….Michael, Randy and the whole family’…..
So…remember where you heard it – the Jackson 5 reunion tour featuring Janet….well well well, I’m sure that will be a concert worth watching – whadya tink?
And speaking of the Jacksons and concerts, Michael is currently planning a 30 date world tour which will allegedly begin in 2009.
Apparently Michael wants to do this tour so his kids can see what he does.
Uhmmmm…. I have a feeling it’s gonna be one of those cringe-worthy moments for his kids I mean, lets face it – who wants to see their ‘dad’ dance????? Even if he is the King of pop… lolololololol
Lil Wayne is as happy as Larry right now – he announced the arrival of his new baby boy during a performance at Power 105.1’s Powerhouse concert in New Jersey.
He gave the crowd all the details including the fact he was there throughout the whole thing (lean off now doubt – lol).
He said, ‘It was nasty, very nasty but it was wonderful’. – Such a wonderful description eh…. Nasty yuh nuh lol
The baby was named Dwayne Michael Carter III (naturally) and weighed in around 7lbs 12 oz – aaaaaaaaaaaaw sweet – nice weight!
Lil Wayne stated, ‘He’s the best thing that ever happened to me, next to my daughter’.
So beautiful huh?
If you are a Common fan, you will be pleased to know his new album is scheduled to drop in
December which will make the release date 5 months later than anticipated!
Even though it’s later than advertised, I am sure it will be well worth the wait – 2 of the songs off the album have already been released. ‘Announcement’ and ‘Universal Mind Control’ are hoooooooooooot. I personally prefer Universal Mind Control its biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig – I’ve been playing it like crazy, love it – if you haven’t already done so, check it out!
A few other changes have been made on the album (so if you got a boot leg – its back to the supplier for you haw haw).
Kanye West is now featured on one of the tracks and a few instrumental changes have been made to a couple of tracks.
So, keep your eyes and ears peeled for that one!
Mos Def has been working on album too! February 9th is the date set aside to release ‘The Ecstatic’!
The album will be released via the label, ‘Downtown' and the first single, ‘Life in Marvelous Times’ will be available on iTunes from Tuesday 4th Nov.
Usher is already setting his sights on another album. I mean, dam - there is still tremendous heat surrounding the current album ‘Here I Stand’ but, I guess, an artist is an artist.
Although he is just about to embark on his ‘One Night Stand Ladies Only’ tour, he has declared the next album will be a ‘worldwide entertainment experience’. Oooooo sounds promising…. Worldwide entertainment experience eh? Sounds like a brand new LCD with all the trimmings, complete with built in DVD and Sky box plus extras…dontcha think????? LOL
No seriously, Usher has said, there are so many artists he would like to work with overseas and that he would like to try new things so I guess, from that perspective, it will be just that – a ‘worldwide entertainment experience’ – GO URSH!
Beyonce or shall I say ‘Sasha’ is back up in Celebville again this week – this time she upstaged 3 big acts!
Hubby Jay-Z, Neyo and Lil Wayne were all left dumbstruck when Bey took the stage in true diva fashion.
Complete in all black, she stormed the stage with 2 backing dancers during Jay-Z’s set (because I guess there would have been uproar if she had reigned on anyone else’s parade lol).
Without uttering or indeed singing, a word – she and her dancers performed the routine from her new track ‘Single Ladies’, flashed her massive wedding ring and bopped off the stage!
Gobsmacked? Understatement! LOL
In other Beyonce related news, she has spoken up about an article that claimed she almost suffered a nervous breakdown.
Beyonce insists she was misquoted and says, ‘I wouldn’t say I was on the verge of a breakdown. That’s a very strong thing to say’.
However, she went on to say, ‘Maybe I have been before’.
So people, its not a completely fabricated story – I mean lets face it, the amount that girl does, I think the average person would have had ‘several’ breakdowns by now!!!! :o(
Mariah, Mariah, Mariah….
This week Mariah Carey has decided to turn into Lil Ms Advice!
She has been offering up suggestions to female stars on how to exit a car without exposing your ‘nether’ regions to all and sundry! (I can name several stars off the top of my head that could benefit immensely from this…)
Anyway, Mariah says, ‘You lead with the leg, place the hand down and then you’re up. Hopefully somebody is standing in front of you then you proceed to walk’!
So, it’s as simple as that – I guess the key thing here is, ensure there is someone in front of you especially after you’ve necked a few as all sense of awareness goes completely down the pan!
But hey, thanks for the advice Mariah :o)
‘Chocolicious’ crooner Joe Thomas has showcased his new album aptly named ‘New Man’ at a release party hosted by his manager of 15 years….Kedar Massenburg.
During the party, Joe performed singles off the new album and worked himself into a bit of a sweaty state – Joe had to remove his shirt which no doubt got the ladies going.
I have to say, I personally have had the privilege of witnessing this ‘phenomenon’ first hand lol
At Joe’s album release party in London, it was a similar scenario, sing a couple of tracks, get sweaty then remove the shirt – brilliant formula I must say!!!!
Anyways, (phew) besides being the number 1 independent CD in the country (Joe is now independent), the CD was also number 3 on the top 5 Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop albums amongst other ratings.
Joe gave an amazing performance and reminded those, that may have forgotten – just how fantastic he is – oh and what a beautiful voice he has lol
People, Joe Thomas is back, he’s independent and he’s ‘chocolicious’ – if you haven’t already copped that album – get it, trust me!
Finally, can anyone remember the movie the Last Dragon?
Well if you can, you will be pleased to know, Samuel L Jackson will be starring as ‘Sho Nuff’ in the remake coming to a screen near you soon!
If you can’t remember it – or have simply never heard of it, the Last Dragon is a cult classic. The film is centred around a young martial arts student called Leroy who goes on a mission to become the greatest fighter alive and posses the ‘glow’.
Think Streetfighter…Tekken – that kind of thing…..it’s a goodie!
And that my beautiful bundles of joy, is all for now!
Remember this week, my Tuesday show takes on a whole new look…..as of 4th November, UK singer/songwriter David Mensah and I, take over the airwaves between 9-11pm UK time – its gonna be mayhem!
