I know that we are in a recession, but I would assume people have some safety in the church! Police said the a woman reached over and took cash from a church goers purse while the owner was praying at Our Lady of Hope Roman Catholic Church in Westbury, NY. I am sure she was praying for health, prosperity, and her family, NOT about avoiding GETTING ROBBED at church! Luckily an usher saw the theft, and officers were on hand to stop the woman as she left the church.

In the wake of Facebook changing its privacy policy, Twitter has quietly rolled out changes to its user interface on the “Following” and “Followers” page. The changes are supposed to make it easier to manage who you follow and to take actions, such as @replying or direct messaging; however, only time will tell. In addition, we all know how resistant people can be with change.

The New York Times is reporting that Facebook messages are about to go public by default and that this is one of the most anticipated days in the history of social networking. Facebook has already begun making status messages, photos and videos visible to the public at large by default instead of being visible only to a user’s approved friends. What’s not clear is whether or not you can prevent this from happening or whether or not you should delete your account to be safe. For more on the story make sure to check Facebook’s privacy terms and to read the NY Times article.

Looks like Polo, the Black Eyed Pea’s manager turned himself in to Toronto police. It is believed that he surrendered because officials threatened not to let the group leave the country until they got to the bottom of the mess with Perez Hilton. Out of fear of not being able to keep previously scheduled tour stops, Polo took one for the team and turned himself in. FREE POLO!!! Boom Boom POW! BTW, is it okay for a flamboyant gay guy (Perez) to call an eccentric guy (Will.I.AM) a faggot?? Help me understand this. Even if Will.I.AM was gay, is it okay for gay people to use the word fag?
I asked this question on Twitter… What’s more important the DC Metro train crash or the Iran protests? Better yet, Chris Browns 5 year probation sentence or Perez Hilton’s black eye… clearly, the Perez Hilton story will not die especially with TMZ’s new cell phone video footage; however, this is my very last time blogging about it.
Leave it to Perez Hilton to cry about getting punched. Be a man “professional” and handle this situation with a bit more dignity! Perez talks so much stuff and finally gets stuffed in the face and all he can do is cry… womp, womp, womp!

UPDATE: PEREZ’s version of the story on TMZ I was a little more than upset when I woke up this morning and read all the stories about Perez Hilton claiming that Will.I.AM and his security beat him up while in Toronto. Of all people, why would Perez start a smear campaign about Will.I.AM? This guy is a great guy who has managed to stay clean and does not invite the drama that Perez Hilton is throwing his way. There are many celebrities that take part in this kind of foolishness and who welcome it, so why would Perez mess with Will.I.AM… Maybe I am biased as I love Will.I.AM. I love his quirkiness and not to mention I have watched him go from being a dancer back in my day to becoming a great producer and artist. He is also becoming a great DJ. I know many of you do not get this guy, but I do. In fact he reminds me allot of myself… quirky, misunderstood, but more importantly, not afraid to be true to him no matter what people think. I am not mad at that damn HATER Perez Hilton, but I am very disappointed that he doesn’t know how to handle himself. I know this guy is all about scandal, but are you that desperate for scandal and to add to the millions of dollars you already make by creating drama with Will.I.AM? Come on… Perez claims via his Twitter site that he needed help because he had been assaulted by Will.I.AM and his security guards at the after party for the Much Music Video at the Soho Metropolitan Hotel in Toronto. He claims that he was bleeding, but yet Twitters the story as opposed to immediately calling the police. Apparently, there was no need to ass his fans were calling the Toronto police from as far as China to report what Perez was claiming on his Twitter page. Why are people so fascinated by this guy? I understand that scandal sells, but he is mean, nasty and clearly unhappy with himself. Most people that have that much to say or that much hate towards others are. Will.I.AM explains the story in two videos…

Source: Article MY RESPONSE TO THE ARTICLE IS SIMPLE WHO IS TOKEN BLACK GUY?
In the wee hours of the morning, I decided to do a little social networking and took to Facebook. Immediately, I was taken back by a well-written post by a friend of mine Craig Baylis who is a former record executive regarding the state of music. Because I have had great conversations with him in the past, I jumped at the chance to read his opinion. His article, titled “Imperfect Music In a Perfect World” summed up the ensuing battle and constant conversation of what’s really going on with today’s music. Rather than recap the entire article, I beg that you read it yourself as it is worthy of 5 minutes of your time.
I like Kerri; however, I will admit I was definitely disappointed by the record labels choice for her debut single. With a background/track record/resume such as Kerri, I expected more and thought her lead-off single was lackluster. The new school music (i.e. lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, Hurricane Chris, etc) vs. Veterans (Jay-Z, Biggie, etc) vs. Those of Us w/the Dancer’s Ear (i.e. Puffy, Myself, and Craig) will always spark debates; however, regardless I am not terribly eager to run out and purchase any music at this point. It’s not an issue of file sharing or the recession as mentioned, it’s more of an issue of not being inspired. The music that is out in my opinion is uninspiring and although I like some of the “new school” artists, I do not purchase their music because all I have to do is turn on the radio and it’s almost guaranteed the song is on the air or coming on shortly.
As I pondered my response, I started to think back to a new artist that I recently came across by the name of Tokin Black Guy. The question remains, who is Tokin Black Guy? At first listen, I immediately thought it has to be someone from the Dungeon Family Camp/Mr. DJ (i.e. Outkast, Goodie Mobb, etc), but there is also a Kanye like feel to the music. As I started to dig further into the mystery, I thought to myself wait this is absolutely GENUIS and its brand marketing at its best! Regardless of who Token Black Guy is this guy has taken a page from the likes of the Guerrillas and Gnarl Barkley (who both disguised themselves at the beginning) and has perfected the formula. With hundreds of thousands of hits on several YouTube videos and a great website could my music exec friend be on to something when he speaks of “organic” growth of an artist? Aside from blurbs in Spin Magazine and on MTV, which all ask the question “Who Is Tokin Black Guy” I have heard absolutely nothing about this ghost rapper other than what I have seen on YouTube. Ironically, I discovered the YouTube videos before the blurbs. I have no problems admitting this guy has my attention and I am hooked thirsting to learn more about his project. Aside from the marketing and more importantly, the music is perfect. Could it be that there just may be perfect music is a perfect world?
