TWO THE HARD WAY
2008-05-05 06:37:00
Over the weekend, Naomi Campbell dinned at NY restaurant Nello. Since July of 2003, smoking has been banned in all NY restaurants, but I DARE YOU to tell Nay-Nay that she can't light up her ciggy-cig if she wants to:Sources claim that Campbell is notorious for disregarding smoking bans. One London restaurant staff member claims that the restaurant lets her smoke inside because, ?We don?t want to face her tantrums.? [photo credit Splash via TMZ/quote found here]We have not been blessed with a Kanye West rant since the death of his mother. UNTIL, Entertainment Weekly decided to rate Kanye's Glow in the Dark Tour a B+. What did they go and do that for? This is how Kanye responded on his blog:"Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? [Quick: If that's what i get paid to do, b!tch.] Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? [Quick: Are you slow?...did your azz get...

THROW DOWN THURSDAY
2008-05-01 23:48:00
It seems like Thursday is a popular day for drinking (at least for me anyway). As i'm making preparations to get my drink on and hit the club later, i've come across several drinking stories: First off, photos of Charles Barkley?s underage daughter, Christiana, partying with college friends have been leaked on TheDirty.com: Now, i can relate to her situation because i certainly started to drink before i was 21, but at least i was smart enough to keep the f'in cameras away. I'm sure Charles is proud considering the fact that he is a former alcoholic. [photo source TheDirty.com]PARENTHOOD IS TOUGHThe next culprit is Christiana Aguilera. Her husband had to help her stumbling azz get into their car after she threw down during a night out on the town in Los Angeles:I thought the drunk mother would be Nicole Richie, not Christina! LOL, because i practice what i preach...i may add some drunk pics of me when i get back at 3 in the morning...? [story via DListed/ photo credit Wenn]

2008-04-29 04:56:00

Now this is how to handle your problems, Naomi! Yesterday, Ms. Campbell was spotted at Heathrow Airport (smiling all up in the workers' faces), the place where she was arrested after a flight about two weeks ago. Her legal team knows how to bring on the damage control, lest we not forget that she just completed a community service stint for tossing a Blackberry at some chick. She may be back at the airport, but she still is banned from flying British Airways. Wasting all those frequent flyer miles; somebody needs to throw something at her head.Now THAT'S a bad chick.

KARINA PASIAN AT WAR
2008-04-19 03:47:00
It's RARE that a young artist presents us listeners with a song that deals with the various pressures that youth face as they come of age in today's society. I randomly discovered new Def Jam artist, Karina Pasian, when i saw that she and Cassie had both recorded the same song, "Official Girl." Eventually, i took a listen to her first single "Sixteen at War." This song is very powerful, and i encourage you all to hit up her Myspace page and give it a listen. She was recently spotted on set while filming the "Sixteen at War" video.According to her official website, her self titled debut album drops on June 3rd. Looks like Def Jam has found another winner.
