An African business man received a cash rebate after closing on his home as an incentive for a First Time Home Buyer’s Rebate program. Since cities are building sky rise apartment buildings at an alarming rate and home sales are on decline as America becomes a land of more complacent apartment tenants and condo owners, brokers are having to entice potential homebuyers. Ikenna Njoku did nothing wrong. The check was clearly his own and if there was a problem with the over zealous teller they could have simply let him deposit the check and put a hold on it before clearing which would have given staff ample time to check who issued the check.
This poor man was not only told to come back the next day, they had already alerted police to arrest him. He was handcuffed like a criminal and locked up for a total of 5 days. No one cared if he had a pet at home without water and enough food for the duration of his arrest, a child at a daycare he had not picked up yet, his car parked on a city street with a meter that had expired and would inevitable result in his car being towed and/or an elderly parent or relatives to tend to on same day. They just arrested him on the spot all on the pretentious accusations of a teller BANK PROFILING, the new racism….

FEAT: MIAMI BEACH, FL – JULY 07: Lamman Rucker attends the gmc TV Screenplay Competition Table Read Rehearsal at ABFF at Ritz Carlton
A growing concern among women in relationships is trying to figure out if their men love them or are cheating on them with another woman when not around. It’s a frightening thought. If you are smart you have your man on lockdown with a a new ‘Don’t touch my boyfriend monitor’ which goes off when any human being comes near them and scans their body sending electromagnetic signals to a woman’s computer screen. Okay, maybe that is a little far fetched as a scene in one of my books, but if women looked at their man’s smile they would know exactly what he is up to. Here are 3 kinds of smiles to watch out for that say, “I’m cheating on you!”
I hate to say it, but this grin on actor, Lamman Rucker’s face is a classic, “I’m interested smile.” So if your man is smiling at another woman with this smile it is time for a sit down. Another classic smile is ‘the cat caught my tongue smile,’ which a man let’s you finish everything you have to say or ask and then responds with a smile and speechless. You better have a face -to-face talk. The last smile is a “Dead giveaway smile,” the kind that the lips meet a man’s nose. It’s like you have never seen that smile before and wondering why does your man look so goofy. Well he’s playing innocent.
Too bad I couldn’t find any other actor’s faces to work with to showcase the smiles I am talking about here, but thank you to Lamman for being a good sport. The actor has a nice smile and I am sure we’ll be seeing that same smile again on the big screen. Check out the dimple. Such a ham.
Let’s face it, every little girl dreams of having an ample bottom and then she grows up and for most of us we have too much too handle and want to get rid of it because jeans take too long to put on, but what happens when puberty never catches up with a woman and she feels pressure to get those dangerous butt implants or injections all the craze in the music video world?
You are in luck bottomless girls because here are 10 Tips you can follow that will not only give you a bigger butt, but feel more attractive naturally so you don’t have to go wearing a lamp shade around your bottom like a wannabe model to hide what everyone already knows isn’t there. Either be proud of your flat bottom or do something about it. These models are fine with their flat bottoms, but you got to live with your body for the rest of your life, so make it sexy and build up a girl’s most important ASSet literally.

Singer Javier Colon sings The National Anthem at Dodger Stadium on July 7, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. He’s been singing for a while. I actually have his first flyer for a guest appearance at a major event and it is wonderful that greatness recognizes greatness on The Voice, which has grown on me after I took time to understand the concept of the show. It was Javier who kept my attention and I kept tuning in every week.
On a current note, I just checked out CeeLo in concert featuring Keri Hilson. First, of all I didn’t even know Keri had a voice like that and CeeLo doesn’t even have to move, that is The Voice . Maybe Cee Lo will be conjuring up more concerts with talent, but he is going to have to stop hitting on folks. He asked Keri to recite her Love Me song lyrics and afterwards he put up a cylindrical pillow in the air to simulate a hard on. That thought of CeeLo just won’t leave my head. Anyways Javier’s single is climbing to number one on ITUNES.

According to HUFFINGTON POST:
- A woman has been caught trying to sneak her common-law husband out of a Mexican prison in a suitcase following a conjugal visit.
A spokesman for police in the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo said staff at the prison in Chetumal noticed that the woman seemed nervous and was pulling a black, wheeled suitcase that looked bulky.
Spokesman Gerardo Campos said prison guards checked the bag of 19-year-old Maria del Mar Arjona and found inmate Juan Ramirez Tijerina curled up inside in the fetal position.
Ramirez is serving a 20-year sentence for a 2007 conviction for illegal weapons possession.
Arjona was arrested and charges are pending.
Shocking news for fans of sultry, sexy and very handsome CSI star, Gary Dourdan, who has been looking a little rough around the edges lately. Here’s why according to TMZ.com:
Former “CSI” star Gary Dourdan has been charged with drug possession — after officials determined he was carrying oxycontin when he smashed into several parked cars in Hollywood on June 13. The L.A. City Attorney tells TMZ … Dourdan was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Initially, cops believed Dourdan was in possession of ecstasy during the incident … but it appears the pills were later ID’d as oxycontin – a prescription painkiller also known as “hillbilly heroin.”As for the vehicular destruction Dourdan allegedly caused that morning … he won’t face criminal charges for that … it’s the insurance company’s problem. If convicted on all charges, Gary faces up to a year in jail.
Hopefully, Gary Dourdin will not spend time in jail for hurting anyone but himself, but receive treatment for his supposed addiction which never would have been an issue if these drugs were not prescribed. At some point, doctors, pharmacies and maybe law enforcement have to be held responsible for this mass epidemic afflicting even affluent stars in Hollywood. Things are out of control out there. If youth see images of their favorite stars on drugs how do you think they’ll grow up? More than likely they begin to associate success with the use of drugs since most of these folks are rewarded later on with documentaries on tv networks like MTV iconizing these stars behavior before one rises to the top. They also, are quick to write a True Hollywood Story when they pass away. Something to think about.

Casey Anthony wipes tears from her eyes at a bond hearing at the Orange County courthouse in Orlando, Fla., Tuesday, July
On June 16th , Casey Anthony claimed her daughter’s body was found dead in the Anthony’s pool by her father, George Anthony which is a lie as proven by prosecuters. She claimed he scolded her and for neglect and warned she would go to prison. From there and in panic , Casey and her father supposedly put duct tape on the dead child’s face and legs to make it look like she was abducted and discarded of her body in her trunk before disposing of her elsewhere. The problem is the father never discovered Casey in a pool and for the duration of the trial wanted to know what happened to Casey. Casey’s call to her Dad in jail mentioning,”It’s not your fault,” was a cover up on her part to make her father seem as if he cooperated with her to dispose of Kaylee. Casey knew she was being taped or listened to during that call which successfully placed suspicion on the father for a moment having also, been accused of molestation.

Before you go bananas trying to stock up on skin care products, the latest fitness and diet craze, here are the Top 10 Beauty Secrets of the Stars that if you implement now in your facial skin care regimen you won’t have to spend big bucks later on trying to find remedies for skin damage due to neglect.
1. Daily Exfoliation- Dead skin cells build up daily on your face which can lead to tough skin and large pores filled with dirt and toxins from daily pollution. Skin with layers of dead skin appear rougher in texture and leads to premature aging. The best way to avoid dead skin build up is to exfoliate daily with a soft abrasive face pad, but use gentle upward strokes and be thorough.
2. Vitamin C Scrubs- Skin gets a boost with vitamin C. Just think of how an orange is made. Well you want your face to be as supple and vibrant. Vitamin C aids the exfoliation process and helps skin renew and repair damaged skin from ultra violet rays.
3. Mud Facials- Have you ever seen someone’s face with no pores? It’s not that they don’t have pores, but one may soothe inflamed skin after washings by pampering skin with a mud facial. The result is smaller pores and even toned skin. Mud facials are great for stress release. The less stress the less signs of premature aging.
4. Facial Exercises- Probably one of the best ways to exercise muscles of the face, daily massages and facial contortions help keep muscles supple. Even faces with signs of a sagging chin can reverse this with exercise. Even slapping your own face has been proven to keep muscles in the face very tight. By all means, slap yourself a few times per day. Men do it all the time after shaving.
5. Ice Cubes- A well known fad of many celebrities that’s here to stay, ice cubes tend to make one’s skin feel exhilarated more than anything else and helps close pores. Slide an ice cube over your skin after cleansing with warm water. Do avoid hot water.
6. Vitamin E- Quite possibly the best topical moisturizer, vitamin E creates a thin layer that seals and locks in moisture without clogging the skin.
7. Witch Hazel Toner- A must have product after using mud masks to whisk away any traces of product, witch hazel refines pores without over drying.
8. Neutrogena Micro Clear- The best kept secret to preventing pimple flair ups and making them go away, use this spot treatment as soon as a pimple appears and watch it disappear in days. Avoid using your fingers to ever relieve a pimple unless you see the head about to ooze. Sometimes pimples not relieved will leave a permanent scar on some skin. Be sure to have clean hands.
9. Satin Pillows- Unlike cotton pillows which put lines on one’s face, a satin pillow for some reason avoids creases and wrinkles on your face.
10. Daily Sunscreen- Only a foolish person would trust the sun and go outside without sunscreen around the major areas of the face. You are simple ruining your skin each time you don’t and the damage is irreversible. Get a sunscreen that protects your skin from harmful UV rays and moisturizes.
Some other tips of the stars are certainly more water, exercise, sleep and less stress, but what good is water if you aren’t putting proper nutrition in your body to replace water loss? Skin needs nourishment from the inside out as well as from the outside in. Finally, many women forge to clean their skin properly after putting tons of makeup on their faces and eyes daily. Never go to sleep with makeup on your face. That’s like facial suicide.
You can be obese, skinny, tall, short and have a bad hair day and your music fans will still love you, but forget your lines, sound incoherent or crazy on stage and even fans are unforgiving forever. Most figures behind media are going to give a fair assessment of how entertainers look because media make millions even when they look like haters, so before anyone got to diss Marsha Ambrosius who is one of the baddest voices out and I mean that in a good way, I thought I would share 10 WAYS TO LOSE YOUR LAST TEN POUNDS IN TEN DAYS because they are the hardest to take off and keep off….
R. Kelly’s remix of Brittany Spears is getting a lot of airplay, but not many Kelly fans recognized his voice in ‘Til the World Ends.’ Do you like this jam. Share your feedback. LiteraryDish.com thinks it’s on and poppin’ especially with R. Kelly on the track. I could listen to this track until the world ends. The melody is ear candy. Who knew R. Kelly could cross over into pop music.
Kanye West and Alexis Pfiffer were one of the major celebrity break ups to get mass media attention. Here you have a Hip Hop rock star who catches up to all of your top rappers on the Forbes List dating what seems like the around the way girl you just knew he would take to the alter, but abruptly dumps out of the picture and gets him a video dancer . Although media will never know the real reason why Kanye West broke up with his former sweetheart, we put together a “10 Top Reasons Why He Dumped You List” for all of the ex girlfriends out there who maybe just want closure and he never said why…

Mary J Blige recently rocked the BET AWARDS as the opening act and has several hits consecutively spinning on air like her current chart topper ‘Someone to Love’ feat. Diddy and lately, the return of other soul home grown hits we’ve been hearing on the popular radio stations this summer from HOT 97 to Kiss FM and 105.1 to WBLS . With Mary everyone has to agree radio sounds that much sweeter. Mary’s riveting vocals spell H-I-P H-O-P and just dominate music listeners play lists hands down when it comes to good music you don’t mind hearing over and over again. This week, we caught Mary kicking it with her fans in support of Carol’s Daughter products, Gods gift to women.

Here’s Mary J. Blige passing on her good luck to another star on the rise, Tamar Braxton.
When people heard those Braxton sisters do their a capella gospel on the BET AWARDS everyone knew a gospel group was on the way. Not to change Mary J Blige’s genre of music still going strong, but Mary really needs to do a gospel album in this lifetime because her voice is as close to Aretha Franklin’s voice Queen of Soul as it gets but make no mistake about it, Mary sounds like Mary. A lot of Hip Hoppers all grown up have Mary to look up to who holds down the baby phat, is in top shape and career still going strong. Don’t knock her for rocking short shorts. This chick can do that.
We know her former trainer, Mark Jenkins who came down to our studio set to not only share the exercises he introduced to folks like D’Angelo but gave a great interview on keeping fit from his book, The Jump Off: 60 Days to a Hip Hop Hard Body andwhich had the best target exercises that keep this Hip Hop Lady of Soul in top fitness. Here is Mark’s site. His wife is also in the book and she is in just as great shape as Mary. Check out his site: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/rob21.htm and this video of Mary J. Blige, Queen of New York. People get a little older and wiser which is a blessing and folks want to dismantle their crown. Not so fast. Check the video.
The question of the day is should All Fraternities Be Shut Down After Hazing Death of George Desdunes?
Marie Lourdes Andre filed a wrongful death lawsuit over the loss of her 19 year old son, George Desdunes, during a hazing ritual, against the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. She is seeking at minimum $25 million in damages. The boy died from alcohol poisoning. However, it isn’t ad if he picked up glasses of alcohol and poisoned himself. He was bound, gagged, tied, kidnapped and forced to drink alcohol as it is was poured down his throat leaving him helpless to defend himself ….
It seems like yesterday that everyone believed OJ was innocent and the subject of a witch hunt by Ron Goldman’s estate, but today all of those supporters have turned an evil eye back on OJ and believe he is guilty of killing his ex wife, Nicole. Mind you, he was exonerated from those charges and is only in jail because he went after his possessions with a gang armed with weapons. It was all caught on tape and the scene reminded you of something out of a scene from the Godfather movie. Too hilarious. Supposedly, things like his Heisman Trophy were stolen.
Now that prosecutors have found a way to throw the book at O.J. it is still questionable if he is indeed a murderer or an innocent man. Speculation is all over the place that he may make a jailhouse confession to Oprah which would send his ratings through the roof and give him some non taxable money to spend in prison fit for a king. After all, he is safer in prison than out of prison. Recently, he found out that his second sister has Cancer and is terminal. Its being said he is so distraught he wants to visit her before she passes away, but should he be given that opportunity? After all, he’s innocent, right? Click on OJ’s pic to read entire story….
