Wow it’s been a hot minute since I touched base over here….mad busy and all that – tryna do this and tryna do that, tryna fit everything in – you know!
BANG can be picked up via http://www.bangradio.fm/ or if you are based in and around the capital, you can hear us on 103.6 FM on the dial!
Well before we get into it, I feel it’s only right we salute BARACK OBAMA as the newest President of the United States.
As evidenced in Obama’s political history, he is no stranger to breaking records so to have him break the ultimate record and become the first ever Black man to lead the US well, I guess it should have been expected!
Obama has made promises of change and already, change has happened – without banging on about the whole colour thing, Obama has changed history for the better before even making any ‘Presidential’ decisions.
Some good news now.
Lil Wayne is still going from strength to strength.
He is now tipped to perform at the 51st annual Grammy awards due to take place on 8, Feb in LA as well as the fact he has been nominated in 8 categories – not bad eh?!

If anyone is smiling right now, its Andre 3000.
The rumour mill has been churning on Kanye West yet again.
On the other hand, Kanye does have something to smile about.
Anyways, for starters I have moved radio station.
I now reside on BANG radio which is an upcoming station with a wide range of well known DJ’s and presenters.

OK, so what’s been happening in that lovely land called Celebville?
Well before we get into it, I feel it’s only right we salute BARACK OBAMA as the newest President of the United States. As the 44th President and first ever African American to reside in the White House, credit is definitely due methinks!
His inauguration ceremony drew around 38 million viewers which means he almost doubled the amount of viewers that decided to tune in to Bush being sworn in!
Obama is no stranger to politics and in fact had a good run as senator for Illinois from 1996. It was in 2002 he decided to make the leap from senator of Illinois to U.S Senator (sworn in as the fifth African American Senator in US history January 2005) and then in 2007, decided to announce his candidacy for President of the USA.

I am so pleased – you wouldn’t know…..!
I think we must also recognise the importance of Michelle Obama, not only is she destined to be the first ‘First Lady’ with hella style; she is also on the cusp of making changes in her own way.
May the whole Obama family remain in God’s hands – sheeesh I’m just so, so proud!

Alright, so what else has been happening…
Fantasia Barrino appears to have done a bunk.
Apparently she owes a fair amount of money but she has gone like, AWOL – no one can get hold of her….what’s it all about? My thing is…you borrow, you pay it back right?

Ladies, if you like you some 12 play... this one is for you.
Ladies, if you like you some 12 play... this one is for you.According to a very reliable source, R.Kelly is now officially back on the shelf!
Apparently, a divorce has been finalised.
It would appear everything is amicable as both he and is ex wife have joint custody of their three kids (dang didn’t realise it was three)!
They married back in 1996 which was 2 years after Andrea (the wife or shall I say ex wife) auditioned as a backing dancer.
Apparently, Andrea filed for divorce on various grounds initially but then withdrew the application.

Some good news now.
One of my favourite rappers; Nas and his wife Kelis, are expecting their first child together.
Nas and Kelis were married back in 2005 after dating for 2 years and now, the patter of tiny feet is upon them…..!

How sweet – that baby is gonna be so cute, cant you just imagine it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!
Ps…ironically I have just finished reading ‘the book’ by Nas’ baby mother????? Not sure what to really think (any suggestions on what is trying to be proven here? I mean, the term 'airing your dirty laundry' would be understatement - its warts and all I tell ya - good read though *** snik snik***) lol

If anyone is smiling right now, its Andre 3000.
He has very recently been hailed by GQ as one of the best new designers in America.
Andre 3000’s line of men’s clothing goes under the name of Benjamin Bixby and was launched in Feb 2008.
Andre fronted all the funds necessary to make the ‘line’ happen making the line a successful solo effort – gwaaaaarn Andre, it’s a good look!

The rumour mill has been churning on Kanye West yet again.Apparently there has been a fake interview circulating which suggested Kanye wanted to take part in a bisexual porno! That’s right, featuring Kanye!
Needless to say Kanye has banged the rumours to rights and has claimed the whole interview was fake and he had not said anything remotely linked to taking part in porn.
On the other hand, Kanye does have something to smile about.
He performed at one of the several inauguration balls held for Obama and has just returned from Paris after unveiling 5 styles of footwear he designed for Louis Vuitton.
Kanye has said the styles he created were inspired by the movie Dune.
The footwear will be available from LV stores in June this year!

I guess it’s safe to say, the Louis Vuitton don has come home to roost fa sho!

Just before I sign off, I have to mention Celebrity Big Brother – all I’m gonna say is WTF??? 
If you watched it, you will know exactly what I am talking about.
Personally I do not feel Ulrika was a worthy winner, besides the fact she moaned endlessly about everything, she wasn’t exactly entertaining….boring in fact!
The highlight of the series had to be when Verne Troyer got drunk and drove his ‘wheels’ into the diary room door!!! Ha ha – it was TV gold.
As for Coolio, I actually think he should have won.
He was pure entertainment from the get go, he was ruthless and funny and definitely provided the ‘well worth watching’ factor!!!! Hee hee
*****************
So, 2009 is most definitely underway and trust me, this year will be a biggie but now I am gonna sign off and go and do some work – I mean hey.. That’s what I’m paid for right? LOL
