Brother of Cowboys wide receiver shot on New York street clings to life in critical condition
The brother of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Kevin Ogletree is fighting for his life after being shot in the head in broad daylight Friday afternoon in New York.
Calvin Ogletree, 25, is believed to have been shot during an argument over money outside his Queens luxury car rental shop, according to sources to the New York Daily News.
His younger brother Kevin, 24, took to Twitter immediately following, asking supporters, 'pray everyone please.'

The victim was transported to Jamaica Hospital and listed in critical condition
Two suspects who are still at large were seen fleeing the scene on bicycles around 3pm.
'I heard one or two pops,' a man who works near the rental shop described to the New York Daily News.
'I didn't know if it was gunshots. Then I saw some excitement. I got a streak of fear. I saw a bunch of people running and screaming,' he recalled.
Calvin Ogletree's company, Calli Exotic Car Rental, had just opened last July.
It specializes in both affordable and luxury rentals in Queen's St Albans neighbourhood.
While his younger brother is now a professional football player in Texas, the two brothers grew up in Queens while attending high school there.
He earned the Daily News' Newsday Player of the Year before attending the University of Virginia.
In 2009 he was the only rookie free agent to make the cut for the Dallas Cowboys' active roster.

In today’s Version of Come Get Your Daughter????
LOL!!! Need I say more she’s a Gangsta Chick!

Who Is Azealia Banks? And her DISS of Nicki Minaj?
There’s a new rap chick on the block. She’s raw, witty and Kanye West is a huge fan.
During his big DJing debut in Vegas on New Years, Ye played Azealia Banks’s single “212″ and called her “the future of music.” The video for the quick-tongued and raunchy track already has Youtube views above 1.7 million, yet many people have never heard of the Harlem-bred artist.
In addition to being booked for the upcoming Coachella concert festival and placing third (right behind Frank Ocean) on the BBC’s 2012 Ones To Watch list, Azealia has been getting copious amounts of love from indie-music blogs for her “212″ performance and a recent track she crafted called “Liquorice.” Both songs show off Azealia’s love of mixing animated hip-hop with pulsating house music beats and reggae melodies. She can rap, she can sing and she’s not afraid to acknowledge her weave. The lyrics are creative, conceptual and painted with a lot of gay lingo. These are observations.

All we know is, she recently alluded to being signed to G.O.O.D. Music on her Twitter account, and she also got into some twitter beef with Kreayshawn last week after Kreay Kreay posted a to link to Azealia’s “212″ video being hosted on a porn site. Azealia took complete offense to it and went completely in, tweeting “@Kreayshawn you’re a whack b*tch and you can’t rap. I’ll sit on your face. … Fall back slut.”
She’s also quick to shut down Nicki Minaj comparisons:
“She’s only had one album, and she’s only been famous for a year, so she doesn’t have that big of a legacy for me to be the new her. She’s her and I’m me.”….OUCH!
Listen to her and tell me what you think; 
The Club beat is HOTT though!

Big Meech Shutting Down 'BMF WIVES' Reality Show
Big Meech lets it be known from behind the wall that the BMF Wives reality show being shopped is a fraud and that he and his team have nothing to do with it.
The head of The Black Mafia Family is currently locked up for running a drug cartel and is shutting this mess down before it starts. His mother hit up Twitter and voiced her son's opinions.
Straight From The A also conducted an interview with CEO of BMF Entertainment, Tammy Cowins, who further voiced Meech's words and Tonesa Welch's claims of being "First Lady Of BMF" since she was the former girlfriend of one of BMF's leaders, and Big Meech's brother, Terry Flenory.

"She [Welch] can say whatever she wants about her relationship with Terry [Flenory - Meech's Brother] in California… but she CANNOT corroborate or say ANYTHING about BMF.
All these rumors about she's a “wife”… she's a “first lady”… this and that… no. She's not.
I OWN BMF Entertainment… “I” Tammy Cowins! And we're not trying to have our brand associated with a reality show.
Meech's mom wants to talk to you so she can get it out there and I want to get it out there that you've talked to the owner of BMF entertainment and the movie is in full swing ahead and we're not sure where these fictitious rumors are coming from.
Meech has never been married… Terry has never been married. There's never been a woman to be a FLENOOY besides Miss. Lucille and their kids.
So at the end of that day, that's who gets the recognition as being the “First Lady” of BMF.
It's almost funny, but it needs to be told."
The girlfriends of some of the incarcerated BMF members came up with the bright idea for a reality show. There have also been reports about BMF's story being turned into a Hollywood film so I'm pretty sure the powers that be don't want this minstrel show tarnishing their chances for that. We'll see how this unfolds but this is a classic example of when those checks stop coming in.

Sinfully sexy! Jordin Sparks shows off new FABU Body at her Vegas birthday bash
Jordin Sparks proudly put her newly svelte figure on display in a form-fitting mini dress at her birthday bash in Las Vegas
 The singer and actress, who turned 22 last month, partied it up with her mother and friends including Public Enemy musician Flavor Flav. 
Wearing a long sleeved, Karina Grimaldi animal print dress and black peep toe pumps, Jordan put a fashionable foot forward as she stopped to pose for pictures.
The season six winner of American Idol smiled when she was presented with a colourful movie-themed cake.
The Grammy-nominated songstress is said to have danced the night away before trying her hand at blackjack in RPM nightclub's elite gaming lounge.
Having her cake: Jordan's birthday confection featured a movie theme to celebrate her upcoming big screen début
Jordan was just 17-years-old when she took home the American Idol title.
At the time, she said she wore a US size 14 but she has since slimmed down to a size eight.
In June the Arizona native did an interview with People Magazine about her impressive weight loss.
The brunette beauty said: 'I've always felt cute, but now I feel sexier.'
She credited her new figure to taking Zumba fitness classes, cutting calories and sticking to a healthy lifestyle, telling the magazine 'I was determined.'
 The wholesome singer will make her big screen début this summer in the upcoming flick Sparkle.
The movie-musical focuses on three sisters who form a successful singing group dealing with the fallout of fame and drugs.
It boasts a well respected cast including Antwone Fisher actor Derek Luke, London native Carmen Ejogo, Whitney Houston and Forget You singer Cee Lo Green.
Sparkle is slated to hit North American theatres on August 10.

Elin Nordegren You really think you’re that FAB?
 I know yall like “Who is Elin Nordegren?” She is the ex-wife of the VERY RICH and VERY overly sexual active Tiger Woods. So she tears down her $12Million Mansion because it was old and outdated and wants to be like Kim Zolciak and build her Dream Home.
Good thinking Elin! What a way to solve World Hunger! Since she has a 100 Million Dollar settlement then I guess she feels every bit justified in her actions. Especially since she didn’t have to work one day for one penny.
Oh yeah, I forgot being married is a job.

SHOTS FIRED! Duct Tape Entertainment's Pesci Calls Out Eminem, Lil Wayne, T.I., & More
Pesci - "Hate In My Blood"
Rappers be warned, especially if you are in Atlanta. Duct Tape Entertainment got the streets on lock and if you have been sitting on any kind of Hi-Hop throne, the targets on you.
As previously reported, Duct Tape's Alley Boy had some choice words for T.I. misrepresenting the streets of Atlanta and his patna Pesci spits some more truths on a few more rappers living outside the A as well.
The ATL rappers goes in on Eminem, Lil Wayne and Drake:
"And they say the best rapper is that Kra***a and this Ni^^^a Drake is a actor. ... They lamer than Wayne, banging a flame/ Man the Pu**y ain't never banged a thang."
WHOA!!!
He also points out Jeezy getting his chain taken and T.I. snitching to get his freedom. 2 Chainz and Gucci Mane are also fired at as he spits more bars like,
"Titi Boy ain't hard, when that fa**ot get tuff dawg."
Just what the game needs, someone to shake things up. Watch the video and let us know what you think about this diss...I mean treal song.

We ain't heard nothing this real since Pimp C. Speak on It.
I want to see who's going to respond to this and anyone saying, "Oh don't nobody know who he is so forget about it him"... that ain't gone work. That's a duece cop right there automatically.

Celebs and Cast attend “The Game” Premier in LA
The Game is BACK!!!! Season 5 began yesterday on BET. There were a lot of surprises. Last week during an interview with “Rosie Perez” Wendy Williams slipped out that Brittany Daniel (Kelly Pitts) will not be returning. And that’s and she spoke on it as well. She said “I was a series regular before and now I’m just a reoccurring character on the show,” Britanny told Vibe magazine. “We did 13 episodes and I’m just contracted to do six.”

She was less than pleased to find out that her role had been reduced when the show switched from the CW to BET, but she took one for the team because “The Game” wouldn’t be the same without her.


“I wasn’t happy about it. I wanted to do all the episodes, but I think it was a financial thing,” Brittany said. “The reason I came back to do the show is that I love the show. And I love, love the people that I work with, so even though it came down to [my reduced role] I had to be supportive of the rest of the cast.”


Brittany said she would have preferred to do the whole season, but there’s speculation that cutting her character Kelly from half of the shows may have to do with Coby Bell. It wasn’t clear whether the actor, who plays Kelly’s ex-husband Jason Pitts, would even be back for this season as he’d gotten a job on USA’s “Burn Notice.” When BET was able to secure Coby for “The Game” last year, it was initially as a recurring character. 

And NOT to my Surprise Singer/Actor Brandy Norwood will be a new cast member!!

Kelly Rowland Did Not Meet With Her Father
In June 2011 Kelly Rowland's father reached out to her via a British tabloid begging for a reunion after abandoning Kelly and her mom more than twenty years ago [click here if you missed that]. After the initial shock wore off Kelly agreed to a Christmas meeting with her long lost dad [click here if you missed that], but a recent interview reveals the reunion never happened...

From The London Evening Standard
Whoever knew that one third of Destiny's Child, a girl who comes from a state where, according to her, dinner is 'either smother-fried or soaked in gravy', would end up being a girl about Mayfair and Marylebone? When it comes to the Queen, according to Kelly they're practically neighbours. 'I've actually been living just down the street from her,' she says. 'When I moved into the 'hood, I was hoping I would get to see her walking the dawgs. But I guess she has people to do that for her. She's the Queen, so she got it like dat, right?'

Yes, Kelly, Her Majesty has indeed got it like that. I can't help smiling every time Kelly talks hip-hop to me. It's ghetto-cute and deliciously out of kilter with the mullioned windows of the St Pancras Renaissance hotel where we meet. She tells me my tie is 'dope', informs me that I am wearing the waistband of my trousers at just the correct height, not all low-slung like in the USA. British men I discover, in general, are 'fly'.
Kelly was born in 1981 in Atlanta, Georgia. Her full name is Kelendria Trene ('Tren-nay') Rowland. 'I always figured that my momma gave me a name with all those syllables because I put her through so much pain,' says Kelly. When she was seven, her mother Doris Rowland Garrison left her violent, alcoholic father Christopher Lovett and relocated to Houston, Texas, with little Kelly in tow. Despite recent attempts by her father for reconciliation, she hasn't spoken to him since.

Alicia Keys & Swizzy Share Their Artistic Love
Alicia and big art collector Swizzy spent the Holidays taking in colorful inspiration. They spent some time in L.A. and hit up the colorful, cooky, and fun exhibit that Alicia encourages all families to attend. Here's a few of her pics:
Loving this Michael Jackson artistic expression. Alicia said on her site:
went to the Mr. Brainwash exhibit at 960 N Labrea. If your in the LA area you should absolutely go! It’s like a fantasy! Huge installations of everything u can imagine from oversized polaroid cameras to cars shoved into a hole. Huge 10 foot tall spray cans and Darth Vador made out of tires and one of my personal favorites, his crazy cool broken record series where iconic pictures are made out of broken records. Everyone will love this exhibit. All ages. It’s like a fun house!;-) if you went already or if u get a chance to go, tell me what u think!
 Cute.

AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
“Living A Life Of Fantasy”
Hey, I need to ask you something. I’ve always wondered what it’s like living in fantasy land. Is it magical? Do they really have chocolate milk water fountains? What’s it like having a house made out of candy? Is walking on clouds as neat as it sounds? Oh my goodness, I could go on for hours picking your brain!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
