“Middle America” Won’t Watch American Idol Because Of Its All Black Judges Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson
Say word??
American Idol Nervous About Hiring All Black Judges Panel. According to TMZ reports:
Nicki Minaj may well become a judge on “American Idol,” but it will be at the expense of Mariah Carey, who we’re told hung up the phone when she was told Nicki was the top candidate.
Sources connected with “Idol” tell TMZ … Mariah was led to believe she would be the only woman on the judge’s panel. Choosing Nicki would not only crush that expectation, it would add insult to injury because Nicki (29) is a lot younger than Mariah (42).

As for the composition of the judge’s panel, we’re told by no means is it a done deal. There are 2 scenarios being played out. First, it’s unclear if Randy Jackson will come back as a judge or a mentor. If he leaves the judge’s panel, there will be another spot to fill.
The second scenario … we’re told some of the honchos believe it’s a mistake to have 2 women and a man on the panel, and a 4th male judge would be necessary.
As for who’s still in the running, we’re told Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and Enrique Iglesias are leading the pack.
And there’s one other thing. Sources connected with the show say they’re worried … if the judge’s end up being Mariah, Nicki and Randy … middle America might not welcome the blackout.

Clearly the show’s ratings are falling, so wouldn’t it make sense to try something new? Maybe having an all Black judges panel would give people of color more reason to watch.


Ne-Yo Backtracks on Trey Songz Criticism 
Trey Songz and Ne-Yo are moving past the “fierce” stage of their mutual competition and are now as it seems joining forces. Know why? To sell CD”s, of course. The pair began beefing after Ne-Yo offered some constructive criticism to Songz, saying that, he [Trey] should “show more emotion when he sings.
Now, Ne-Yo is showing he is in control of his emotions, admitting he was out of line and offering an apology for speaking out against the “Bottom’s Up” crooner.

Ne-Yo’s very public apology on Twitter reads as follows:
 “I’m a grown ass man with no problem admitting when I’m wrong or apologizing for my wrongs. W/ that said to the homie @TreySongz my bad pimp.”

Here’s the drop:
These guys will do anything to sell records. The business is very small and the failure of any major label artists hurts their labelmates too. Most industry beef is manufactured by artist management and pr teams anyhow.
They’re just taking a page out of the hiphop manual and applying it to R&B.


Scott Disick Leaves Son Mason in a Hot Car
Kourtney Kardashian is furious at Scott Disick for leaving their 2 year old son Mason in a hot car with the windows rolled up. 
Kourtney Kardashian's baby daddy Scott Disick left their 2-year-old son Mason in his Mercedes SUV with the windows up -- on a day temperatures soared as high as 107 degrees -- while he was browsingmagazines at a newsstand, an eyewitness tells claims
“He was out of the car for at least five minutes and should have never left his son alone!” the source said of the August 10 incident which occurred in theKardashian hometown of Calabasas, California. “The car was parked in the hot sun with the boy alone in the back.
"The car was not running, so the air conditioner wasn’t on, and the windows were rolled up.”
Kourtney, who by all accounts seems like a good parent, was livid with her partner about his carelessness, and suggested someone go along with him to supervise on visits so nothing like this happens again.
“All she could think about is that Mason could have died. She read Scott the riot act, and so did her sisters Kim and Khloe," the insider said. "They don’t want Scott taking the kids anywhere now unless someone is with him."
The couple recently welcomed their second child, a girl named Penelope Scotland.

Rihanna Sending Sexy Texts to Robert Pattinson
Rihanna is crushing hard on broken hearted actor Robert Pattinson and has been bombarding him with sexy texts ever since he broke up with his cheating rat girlfriend actress Kristen Stewart. 

Robert Pattinson might be a bit down in the dumps at the moment after discovering that Kristen Stewart was cheating on him, but it seems that every cloud has a silver lining as the stars' 'split' has reportedly led Rihanna to start sending him sexy texts.
According to OK! Magazine Rihanna has always fancied Rob, and now he's single she's planning to make her move. A friend of the 'Pon De Replay' singer told the mag: 
"They’ve met several times at award bashes over the years. RiRi thinks he’s very cute, but nothing ever came of it because he was attached to Kristen — and it’s not her style to steal someone else’s man.”
They said: “She got Rob’s phone number from a mutual friend and has been sending him sexy, funny texts to cheer him up,” which sounds pretty pleasant for Rob, and apparently after initially believing someone was having him on, he may now be game for experiencing the Bajan seductress' charms.
The friend said: “At first, Rob thought someone Punk’d him. Eventually Rihanna convinced him she was for real, but Rob has been resisting her.” 
However despite Rob still pining for his 'Twilight' co-star Kristen, his friends are urging to put himself out there again, possibly with RiRi.
The pal added: “Rihanna would love to meet up with him. And Rob’s friends keep telling him he has to start enjoying life again. What better person to help cheer him up than Rihanna?”
So what do you think Robert Pattinson and Rihanna, or Rih-Pattz as they shall hence be known, dating heaven for heartbroken Rob? Or a spectacularly bad idea?


Teyanna Taylor Stands By Tomboy Comments 
A few weeks ago Teyanna Taylor was quoted in a magazine saying she was the one who started tomboy chic.
After being dragged six ways from Sunday, Teyanna reiterates her remarks and offers proof of her trendsetting...

Teyanna writes,
I Need To Let something be known, I see the blogs and individuals in general are quick to post my comments about starting this tomboy look and then twist shit like a micro braid, but let me take you somewhere real quick on what I meant.
Yes I know about the late Aaliyah, TLC, Missy Elliot, Queen Latifah, Lady Of Rage, SWV, and X-Scape yes they are women who dressed like tomboys who were in this game long before me I salute & look up to them. When I stated that I started this tomboy wave I meant in terms of my era on & bringing it back. When I hit the scene back in 2005′/2006′ it was I and only I dressing in that style when it came to FEMALE ARTIST in this game and that’s a fact.
CLEARLY NO DEBATING. I was doing the BBC cargo’s with the dunks, big hair under that 59/50 new era fitted. Rocking Jordans all crazy, I made that shit cool again no female in this game was going near it unless it was them being styled at a photo shoot, or a treatment in their video. Between my time and now, when you seen a young girl with that “Sexy Boyish” look she wasn’t thinking too much about the ladies before me, she was channeling the kid. Not to sound cocky but like come on let’s keep it a buck out here.
People was calling me a dike because of this tomboy shit, these other girls you see ain’t have to go through that, the REAL tomboys were being called dikes. Just look at some of these people before they got signed, look at them in their high school days. Look at pictures of them when they first got signed, then do the same thing with me. The proof is in the pudding, and that pudding tasting real good right now.
I’m not mad that people use an idea because I too may use an idea, I just do things in my own way, and I also do original things.
Just don’t give credit to that person for starting a trend because their more famous, or have more records out, those are the people who take from the people who haven’t yet reached their level of success and we all know that its been going on before I was thought of. I love my style i love to dress, its fun to me and I just wanna be respected like any other person who started something or brought something back to life when people were to iffy to do it. Nobody can be mad at me for that, and if you do have a problem “oh well” who cares go talk to ya parents about it. I love my fans and all those who support Teyana Taylor because at the end of the day they know EXACTLY what it is..

Pink Addresses US ‘Popularity Contest’
Rising to fame at the turn of the millennium as the poster child for Urban Pop, P!nk surprised many a critic when she made the transition from Pop Princess to Pop Rock riot.
Despite enjoying her first US #1 with ‘Lady Marmalade‘ in 2001, the singer- believe it or not- was unable to match the feat until seven years later with ‘So What’.
Now she has addressed her popularity- or lack of it- in the United States and how touring served to counteract any commercial shortcomings she faced in the market.

Speaking to Billboard Magazine she explained:
“I was always on the road in the U.K. and Australia, and things were really great over there. Then I got to come home and be left alone. And you know what? It gave me lot of time to create my show and to become a performer.
I would go on 22-month tours and work my ass off, and it’s been the biggest blessing of my life that now I am a touring artist. It got me out of the popularity contest that music can be sometimes and gave me time to hone my craft as a stage performer.
I’m also grateful, and I got to come back and do the Grammys [in 2010]. That was my ‘A-ha.’

Considering her name has always seemed to enjoy notoriety globally, the idea that P!nk was anything but a ‘star’ in the US may seem a little strange to her fans overseas.
However, in what saw we’d say has worked in her favor, touring as much as she has cemented her status as premium entertainer- enjoying critical accolades many of her contemporaries stay falling short of receiving.


AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
‘Long Hair Don’t Care’
If there is anything worse than doing something half-assed it’s doing something stupid half-assed. I mean, if you’re gonna make yourself look ridiculous then fully commit…or try using that thing the rest of us have called common sense and don’t do it at all.


HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!
