So you’re going to the gym and want your hair out of your face…I get it. But um, when you decide to shave half your head you should think about situations like this before going through with it. #1 think you can’t do with half your hair missing…put the other half in a pony tail.

This has to be one of the most unflattering pics of Kelly yet. Gums and Gloss and Weave, OH MY!

Oh Jaslene…

Update 67: Chris Brown Arrested

Update 67:

RihRih wants her bling back. He is asking that $1.4 million in gems that she was wearing the night of the assault be returned to her from the cops.

Her lawyer Don Etra, has made a few requests to have police return her jewelry but to no avail.

"The investigating officer gave me his opinion that photographs would be sufficient, and the D.A. said to write her a letter and they'd consider returning it," Etra said. "I have heard nothing since the last letter to the D.A."

"If the DA doesn't need the items, and the LAPD doesn't need the items, there's no reason why they shouldn't be returned."

Etra also said that the three jewelers that Rihanna borrowed the jewelry from were initially sympathetic but have no begun to make daily inquiries about it.

The items in question are two yellow metal hoop earrings with white stones; one yellow metal ring with white stones and green stones; and two yellow metal rings with white stones. Source,

Um yea, they need to give that stuff back before those jewelers start breakin knee caps.

Beyonce Hoaxter Apologizes

A bunch of us heard a recording of Beyonce on the Today show sounding…well pretty damn horrible. It all turned out to be a hoax. Matthew Zeghibe, the man responsible for the joke says that it got “out of hand” when it hit the net and was played by Howard stone.

He told Rolling Stone: "It was just for a good laugh. It was a goof, just for fun. I do a lot of parodies on my YouTube channel, and it just so happens this one got a little out of hand." Source

Rhonda told me it was fake but I just didn't want to believe it. I found joy in Bey's dying cat routine. Sorry for doubting you RJ...but dangit, how funny was it when we all thought it was real. Sighs...excuse me whilst I got get myself another glass of hatorade.

Wacko's Chauffeur Turns Himself In

One of Wacko Jacko’s chauffeurs has turned himself in after being involved in a hit and run accident.

He was on his way to meet MJ at Cedars-Sinai when he smashed into an ambulance and broke off one of its mirrors without stopping.

He claims he was "unaware" of the accident and did not realize he had clipped the side of the ambulance, according to Radar Online.

Police haven’t filed charges against him yet. Source

He was probably scared of being late picking up Mike. I can see him being a tyrant.

Bey's Tour isn't Selling Like Hotcakes

Supposedly Beyonce’s upcoming “I Am..” tour isn’t selling as expected. Several tickets are still available for almost every single date, including ones in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and many more.

“They were hoping to add multiple dates to the tour and it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.” An extra date was added in NYC but low ticket sales in Chicago and other cities have forced the plans for multiple dates down. Source

HA! Just kidding. I mean she’s gonna rake in some dough anyway so she should be straight.

Dr. Drew Gets a New Show

Dr. Drew Pinsky has signed on to do another rehab show for VH1. But this time its not about drug and alcohol abuse. This time he’ll be starring in “Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew”.

VH1 released a statement about their new project:

“In this eight-episode one-hour series, Dr. Drew is turning his attention and cameras on a very widespread but rarely talked about addiction. Sexual compulsion afflicts roughly 6% of the American population and carries the same devastating consequences as any other addiction. For addicts, sex isn’t even pleasurable, but rather a way to escape the pain of past loss, childhood trauma, abuse and abandonment. Like many other addictions, their habits can cost them their jobs, their marriages, even their lives. Despite all this, the affliction is often dismissed because it's not understood how something as natural and beautiful as sex can be an addiction.” Source

Muy interesante. I’m sure I’ll be watching.

DMX and Celebreality Join Up

Rapper/resident crazy man, DMX, has a new gig. He’ll be joining the cast of Celebrity Rehab. He’s currently in jail for drug possession, animal cruelty and theft but is set to be released April 30, 2009. When he gets out he’ll have an extra 18months of probation to serve. Source.

I wonder how they’ll work this out. The show is shot in Cali but DMX’s probation would probably limit him to the state of Arizona. Whatever the case is I WILL be watching. Let’s gather around for a prayer circle, shall we?

Asher Roth the New Don Imus?

New Rapper Asher Roth, who’s been getting a lot of buzz, is wrapped up in controversy after making a “nappy headed hoe” statement. On his twitter he wrote:

"At Rutgers stirring up a ruckus," he wrote. "Been a day of rest and relaxation, sorry Twitter -- hanging out with some nappy headed hoes."

He later apologized -- "Totally just making fun of Don Imus - Sorry Scoot, not trying to be offensive ... I'm extremely apologetic to anyone who took offense to my immature, bad joke." Source

Alright. Listen up my pink friends. I don’t care how “down” you are. You really need to watch what you say…especially in mixed company that includes folks that don’t know you. That statement might have been hilarious to his brown buddies who understand his sense of humor. The rest of us are sitting here like “blink…blink…blank stare” as we search our bags for a glock or pipe of some sort.

Oprah Don't Do Weave

Folks have been wondering about Oprah’s weave game lately and she’s had to set it straight that those lovely locks she’s been sporting are all hers.

On her Friday show she discussed what everyone’s been wondering.

“Am I wearing a weave? Everybody’s like, ‘Oprah, we love your weave.’ This is not a weave, this is my hair,” Winfrey announced, before putting up a photo of herself with pre-pressed and pre-curled hair. Source

This isn’t surprising in the least. Lady O has always had gorgeous naturally thick and healthy hear. I bet it smells like honey and gold doubloons.

Bey wants to Be a Broadway Baby...Then Have Some Babies

Beyonce wants to tackle Broadway and motherhood next.

“It’s my ideal job. I’ll be able to go to the theater every day and drop my kids off and maybe make some food — maybe I’ll know how to cook by then — and then go do what I love and have some normalcy and have a regular schedule. I definitely want to do Broadway.” Source

I like how she acts like Broadway is a part time job at the Wawa…as if it’s gonna afford her enough time to play soccer mom. Such a simple country girl she is.

Pharrell Gets Tats Lasered Off

Pharrell Williams said a while ago that he wanted to rid himself of his tattoos. Well he finally went through with hit. He underwent laser surgery to burn them from his arms.

Laser treatment b**ches! Extra crispy," the rapper wrote on his blog of the procedure. "See, no skin graft here, just pure laser pain. This is our own version of Mythbusters! Laser is the new primer." Via his blog.

"It's going to be pricey, but f*** it, it's worth it. I got fire on my arms! I'm a grown man," he said in early 2008.

“There's an institute called the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina for Regenerative Skin Treatment. It's basically like getting a skin graft, but you're not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you." Source

That looks more painful than getting the tats to begin with.

Brit Keeps to Herself While on Tour

According to the PCD, Brit doesn’t interact with them that much. "Unfortunately there isn't much time for us to hang out," Asheley Roberts of the Pussycat Dolls told the Daily Star.

"We pop into our dressing rooms, change into our outfits and then go straight out on stage.

"I've seen her in passing through the hallway but she kinda keeps to herself and so do we."

"Britney is totally outdoing us on outfits. She has some outrageous costumes and I definitely think between us we've taken every rhinestone that's ever been made," she added.

"It's amazing to be supporting her. She's out there every night doing her thing and we feel so lucky to be a part of that.” Source

Brit is too busy trying to remain sane and keep track of her weave to be bothered talking to the likes of you.

Since it’s GaGa it’s ok..but someone needs to tell her she’s on thin ice.

Someone was shopping in the wrong section of the make up aisle when they picked out their foundation.

I veto his decision to shave his head.

He looks like he’s either going to flash someone, trying to sell knock off watches, or going to shoot up some folks. Whatever the case, I’d rather not see what’s under his trench.

I’m mad that when I first looked at this pic of Rah Digga I thought it was New York.
