It took a minute. I first thought Angelina Jolie was a great opportunist. Thought she ruined "Rachel's" life, and I thought she couldn't possibly really care about those African babies - hers included.Then, after watching her interview on Anderson Cooper,
I re-thought it all. I realized that Ms. Jolie is helping Africa on a level comprable with Oprah Winfrey. She knows her shit. She donates 1/3 of her income to Africa. She's adopted and given birth to African children.
I'm sure other celebrities donate. I'm sure other celebrities care, but I really appreciate Ms. Jolie for digging in and working hard to make a real change. I appreciate that she uses her status to bring awareness to Dafur and the AIDS crisis. So, yes, maybe she did wreck a home, and maybe her lips are too big, but she's trying to help the OBs (Original Blacks) and I'm all for that.
Check out DMX cussing out his fans after arriving at 3:00 am for a concert...and performing for only 15 minutes.
I wish, wish, wish that I could get DMX and Whitney Houston in the same room. Sooo many things could happen. Would they bone? Fight over the dope? Sing and rap? Have church?
I wish I could find the Chingy-Free version of this song. He's so undamnnecessary! Click above to watch.
Beyonce was confronted Thursday night at the swanky restaurant Nobu in New York City by two members of People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The two had won an eBay auction, benefiting VH1's Save the Music Foundation, to dine with the star. Beyonce had no idea they were PETA members.
Click here to watch Mama Knowles put 'em in check. That blank look on Beyonce's face is pretty damn priceless, too.
Last night I heard Slim Thug's remix to ex-girlfriend LeToya Luckett's hit single, "Torn". I'm trying my best to find it because I need to hear it again. If I remember correctly, he said something about regretting that they broke up ... and that she was his "destiny". I wonder if that was a declaration or a dig?
I also wonder...how does Slim Thugga feel about having a CD named Already Platinum when it's not even already Gold?

WILL TV JOHNNY GO OUT LIKE JAKE?Sure you recognize TV Johnny. He's the Vietnamese jeweler in Sharstown Mall who always looks both excited and terrified around rappers. Damn, are they his friends or are they taking money out the register?? I think Johnny has a Hood Pass though. I recently saw him in the Pourin Up video. Seemed pretty excited. Black celebs (including Paul Wall) love to push business to non-blacks. Interesting.
