 Evelyn Lozada Hints That ‘Chad & Ev’ Reality Show May Air 
The buzz surrounding Basketball Wives reality star Evelyn Lozada and her ex-husband, former NFL’er Chad Ochocinco Johnson has died down a bit, after the two divorced. But as you’ll recall, before their domestic violence incident and all was well between their very public relationship, folks were buzzing about their VH1 reality spin-off, ‘Ev & Chad’.

The show had been green-lit and promo photos had been released, but after their break-up, reportedly, Evelyn and the network pulled the plug on the show. Fast forward to the present day and according to a tweet, there may be some hope that fans will see the show in some form or fashion. One of Evelyn’s twitter follower asked about the show–peep her response.
So my question to you is, should Evelyn and Ocho give VH1 approval to air the show? And if they did, would you be interested in watching their show, although their relationship didn’t work out?


Is Jessica Simpson’s Dad Is Gay???!!!
According to reports and mainly the National Enquirer Joe Simpson is Gay!!!
Here is what the NE is reporting:
Jessica Simpson’s world was turned upside-down when her manager-dad recently dropped a bomb on his unsuspecting family: a family insider says he confessed He’s gay!
The stunning confession was the REAL reason wife Tina filed for divorce from Joe, her husband of 34 years, in late September – and the family insider says Jessica’s billion-dollar fashion empire could be caught up in the ugly tug-of-war that’s sure to follow.

“Joe got the family together about two months ago and came out of the closet,” an insider divulged.
“He told them that he’d tried to continue in his marriage to Tina, but he couldn’t go on any longer and deny the fact that he had these feelings for men.

“Joe said it wasn’t fair to her, and it wasn’t fair to him.”
Stunned by the revelation, Jessica and her sister Ashlee lashed out.


Study Reveals That Whites Write 93% Of Front Page Election Stories
There is a sharp racial imbalance among election stories that make it to the front page of newspapers. A new study revealed that nearly all of said stories are written by whites.
The 4th Estate concluded from information tallied between Jan. 1 and Oct. 12  that despite the cultural breakdown of staff members at newspapers all over the country, whites appeared to have the final say. "We found no minority reporters for the San Francisco Chronicle writing front page election stories," said Jonas Eno-Van Fleet, of 4th Estate. According to figures from the American Society of News Editors, minorities make up for more than 20 percent of the Chronicle's staff.
At other papers, like the Miami Herald, more than a quarter of the staff are minorities, yet no front page election stories were written by Hispanic writers.

On the contrary, over at the Dallas Morning News, one-fifth of front page political stories were written by minorities, the highest percentage found during the study. Additionally, immigration stories are "least likely" to be written by minorities, David Graham of Washington D.C. newspaper, The Atlantic noted.
On a national level, only 12.3 percent of staff at daily newspapers are minorities, according to ASNE.
Of course, assuming that journalists at papers across the country abide by a code of ethics, the findings don't flat out conclude that front page political news is biased. However, one can't help but argue the notion when a paper like the New York Post—which has a reputation for being racist—is used as an example.

Beyonce & Jay-Z HAVE NOT Lost "Blue Ivy" Trademark, Application Put On Hold
Contrary to media reports, Jay-Z and Beyonce have not lost the "Blue Ivy" trademark....their application is on hold. There's still a good chance that fans will someday have the option to choose from a slew of items bearing the "Blue Ivy" name (from skin care products and strollers to baby bedding) as Beyonce and Jay-Z's trademark application is still in the works.
Although Jay and Bey's application has been place on hold by U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (while the office awaits one merchant's appeal), the office granted "Blue Ivy" trademark rights to a Boston wedding planner last week.
But don't worry...should Jay and Bey's application be approved at a later date, they won't conflict with the wedding company and their products aren't in the same field.

We will keep you posted on their status....
