Ola, Ola, Ola – what’s going on?

Ill tell you what…..

As Obama ‘madness’ reaches fever pitch…autobiographies and books containing collections of Obama’s speeches, fly off the shelves.
Now, according to a well placed source, in excess of 100,000 copies of Obama’s books sold between 3rd & 9th November –that’s 100,00 copies people, in a mere 3 days!!!
On top of that, Obama has been utilising the phenomenon that is YouTube. He will be making his weekly radio addresses available online and he will be posting videos featuring him, regularly too!
So, all Obama fans (which seems to be just about everyone right now), remember, you can now acquire fix, via the internet – faboooooooooooo!

So, that’s the ‘White House’ bit, what’s been happening in good old ‘celebville’?

Well, Kanye has been promoting his latest album (released today), ‘808’s and Heartbreak’.
Whilst speaking to a well know website, Kanye admitted that he has only just been able to talk openly about his mothers passing.
He was quoted to have said, ‘I didn’t do any interviews when my mom passed, I wasn’t ready to speak about it, now I would rather talk it through than commit suicide. I’m super devastated’! So sad!

Kanye also believes his fame is part of the reason for her death, he feels he is partially to blame. He said, ‘If I’d never made it in the music business, it never would’ve happened’!
Wow…that actually burns to read that, to know someone is not only dealing with a loss, but is also dealing with the fact they believe they had something to do with the death…………that is hard!
Having fairly recently split from his long term girlfriend as well, Kanye went on to explain, that it gets lonely at the top without a mother or a partner. He admitted he was depressed and sought solace through the recording studio and making his music!
He also gives thanks to those celebs that helped him through….

Personally, I hope its all upward from here for Kanye, love him or loathe him, you pay attention to him. He has a lot to say and makes some serious music (even if it does take a while to get his angle sometimes lol) – Once Christmas is out the way, lets hope its ‘Happy Days’ for Mr West!

On to another celeb that deserves a standing ovation for her strength – Jennifer Hudson!
After loosing her mother, brother and nephew in an act of what can only be described as, ‘senseless violence’ back in October, Jennifer is still holding on and remaining strong.
Jennifer has used her MySpace page as a way of publically thanking everyone for their support.
In the posting she said, ‘My sister and I take great comfort and strength from your love and concern’.
I have nothing but admiration for this lady and I continue to hold her and her family in my prayers during this difficult time!
Ps…That track Pocketbook is up on that playlist, check it out….

Brandy has spoken out about her ‘highway ordeal’ in which, a driver was killed!
Brandy admitted during an interview that she still carries around the guilt of knowing she was involved in the unfortunate death of another.
Although Brandy was in her Land Rover which crashed into a car triggering off a chain reaction that caused another driver to career into the other lane, she says she felt hurt when people out right blamed her. She is quoted to have said, ‘I just feel like a lot of people jumped on it because it was something to talk about…they made up their own stories and started finger pointing’.
Not a good look eh?
Brandy now faces a $50 million lawsuit for wrongful death by the victim’s family – the trial is due to begin April 2009.
In more light hearted news…the rumour mill has decided Brandy and Tyrese MUST be an item!
Tyrese has been quick to bang us to rights and has said. ‘I would never date her; it would be like dating my sister’!!!Ok Tyrese, if that’s the case, please explain why you felt it necessary to try and act like y’all weren’t lunching together if you are just mates?????????? Puuuuuuuuuuuurlease!!!!
More interestingly, apparently Tyrese is married!!!! Ponder that for a second………..Now move on! LOL

Prince has made the headlines this week – apparently he is being sued because he has not helped to market his perfume 3121.
The makers of the perfume have claimed, they spent $2.5 million on the fragrance and agreed to pay Universal half the profits made as part of the agreement…..looks to me like the situation is being to smell a bit….I wonder if Prince can come through this smelling sweet? After all, he is known to cause a bit of a whiff!!!! Boom Boom lolololol

Wow, it’s not a good look Lisa Bonet’s baby fadda!
Apparently he was slashed, yes…slashed across the face with a broken bottle during a bar brawl….ooooooooooooooooouch!
140 stitches and re constructive surgery was needed to restore the ‘face’, subsequently, the guy who got his pram out has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily harm.
Oooer, lets hope the stress doesn’t send Ms Bonet into an early labour!!!!
Oouch – still reeling!

And on that note peeps, I’m outta of here for now…..

Whatever you do this week, do it good and make sure you check back for your weekly fix, next week!

Ps….Dunno bout you, but its cooooooooooooooooold brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
