What woman would lay down and create a baby with one of Hollywood’s biggest sellouts? Paloma Jimenez that’s who! It’s reported that, Vin Diesel and his girlfriend, model Paloma Jimenez, have quietly become parents of a baby girl, his rep tells PEOPLE.
Diesel, 40, and Jimenez welcomed their first child on April 2. Diesel is currently shooting and producing Fast and Furious, due out June 2009, and will next be seen starring in Babylon AD on August 29. Despite his daughter’s fall birth, the ‘Fast and the Furious’ actor and his model wife wait nearly two months to share the news.
When I use the word sellout for Vin Diesel it’s not because like usual he’s another black male who stays as far away from black women as he possibly can, even though it appears that black men have abandoned ship when it comes to black on black love, I personally see nothing wrong with dating interracially (I am also bi-racial). It’s mainly because Vin has always made it clear that since he is bi-racial he doesn’t want to be “stereotyped” with black roles. So this punk made sure in his contract with the studios that he NEVER gets casted in a role as a black man, EVER. I find this insulting and just plain sad.
T-Pain’s Oscar worthy song Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin’) from ‘07 has dazzled and amazed us all with it’s well thought out lyrics and rhythmic unique beats. Now there’s a small following of you-tubers who are putting their own special twist on this future classic. These clips are great. There are 4 videos total, the first is the original version from the “artist” himself. Someone even went through the trouble of making a SIMS version which is pretty cool. I find it ironic that even in the SIMS version of this video the girl in the video is light skinned with long hair. I guess art does imitate life. Anyway, I liked the preppy white guy one the best! Tell me what you think.
A couple of weeks ago I was told that Snoop Dog would be making a guest appearance on ABC’s soap opera One Life To Live. Not only was I not surprised, but not one else on the planet seemed to care, I barely heard squat about it. If Snoop Dog was Will Smith or Coolio I wouldn’t mind since they’ve both never represented real hip-hop and catered to the pop mainstream. I think Snoop is rich enough to not have to stoop this low. He is still very famous ( God only knows why ) but I think his “street cred” is all gone, especially after seeing this. Hip hop has officially sold it’s soul. Ice Cube is now Disney’s bottom bitch and Snoop is singing the opening song and guest appearing on One Life To Live. I hope he is investing his money wisely because I think this ride is going to be over soon. Good lord, what is the world coming too? KRS-One we need you!
I came across this hysterical clip about white guilt from an episode of 3rd Rock From the Sun on youtube and I followed the link to the publishers website and it’s a site about “Wigger Lovers” . I totally liked the site and found some interesting reading there. Check it out.
Everytime I see this clip it takes me back, way back..I think I must have been like 17 when I first saw this. Tupac definitely was no angel, his ass was always in trouble but he was such a brilliant artist, and he kept it very real. As I look back on this clip I can see now how cool, and direct of an interviewer Arsenio Hall was. There are not many mainstream talk show hosts who ask tough questions like he did. It’s clear Arsenio was a fan of Tupac but yet he still made him clarify all his legal woes. Check out this classic clip. We will always love & remember you Tupac…
At 41 Z-List actress and full-time bombshell Lisa Raye is still hot as hell. The body is looking mighty nice girl. Keep it up. I do think it’s a little tacky to still be doing these types of magazine shoots since you husband is the Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands, I mean you wouldn’t see Michelle Obama doing that. In the end, Lisa still looks fantastic, you can’t deny it.
Just a few random pics of 50 Cent and Carrie Underwood hamming it up during a commercial shoot for Vitamin Water and stupid stuff. There is nothing wrong with selling your soul to big companies for a profit, everyone and their grandma has a product their pushing, I understand that now. The problem is, when you still try to pass yourself off as this real dude from the streets, it’s not convincing when your constantly partying with Paris Hilton, throwing temper tantrums if your album doesn’t outsell Kayne’s, or selling out to the highest bidder. I don’t know too many hardcore gangstas who do that, but wankstas do. Have fun. Read more…
NEW YORK - About two weeks after he was released from prison, Freddie Johnson was arrested on charges of illegally rubbing up against a woman on a crowded Manhattan subway train.
It is a fairly common crime in New York. But this was no common criminal.
Johnson has been arrested a staggering 53 times — the majority for allegedly groping women on subway trains.
In his latest arrest, Johnson was being followed by plainclothes officers who recognized him from police photos. He was charged with persistent sexual abuse, and if convicted this time he could be sent away for life. Read more…
Alice Smith has been one of my favorite soul musicians recently and I’m looking forward to hear more new music from her soon. You can visit her site to see, hear, and read more about this sensational non-conventional artist. Unlike most of today’s pop artists who focus mainly on their image rather than the quality of their music, Alice is a true artist with endless amounts of natural talent. Also check out her sweet MySpace page! Her voice is dreamy and very sultry, she kind of reminds me of Sade. I think Alice would be great for the opening song of a James Bond movie, she’s just that good!
Lucian Freud’s one-time muse was paid £20 a day to sit for a painting expected to fetch more than £17m. But Londoner Sue Tilley said she did not do it for the money and had “lovely lunches” with the artist. Freud’s 1995 work, Benefits Supervisor Sleeping, looks set to become the most expensive painting by a living artist when it is sold in New York next month.
Ms Tilley - who is now a job centre manager - joked she had now become a broadsheet pin-up.
Ms Tilley - nicknamed Big Sue - told the BBC’s Today programme: “I can’t quite believe it, to be honest.
“I only found out on Thursday afternoon. You know, I didn’t have any idea it was going to happen, so I’m a bit in shock.
“I was reading on the internet…all the things about it. And I was just going ‘Oh my god’, I could hardly believe it was about me.”
‘Lovely lunches’
Referring to her portrait gracing the front-page of Saturday’s Financial Times, she said: “Am I the first naked pin-up in the history of the FT? Read more…
