Re-United and It Feels So Good!
So Guys!!!
I have some great news!! do you remember last year I reported on a group called the shures?! Well If not, briefly, the shures are amazing band consisting of one young lady and two guys, that I came across on YouTube. The big sensation with the group is not only that they sound good..but that they have never met before...That is until now!!
Ashley Gabz, and Chris are all from different parts of the world, that met each other on the Internet via a karaoke site that used to exist, and together they formed a group online. Through the use of photoshop and other video and imaging products they were able to fuse their seperate videos together to make YouTube videos.
In the fall of Last year the group started a campaign to raise money so that the group that had been making video for almost a year together on YouTube could finally meet. Fans from all over donated money to their cause, and Ashley from the Wisconsin, and Chris from the UK traveled to their band mate Gabz home in Australia, and are together at last!!
Currently they are planning to reside in Australia for a little while in hopes of touring in their respective cities very soon, and also recording a debut album!!!

Obama Has Opinions Too!!
WAsSup GuyS....
So I know you all heard....
When asked about the Kanye West fiasco at the VMA's Obama told the reporter it what was thought to be off the record that he thought Kanye was a "Jack Ass"
Here is the Official Article
Listen to the Audio
What do you guys think?!
Should Obama be allowed to have his own opinion?
Or was he out of line?!
Lauren London Gets A Visit From Weezy Stork?!
Kanye West Has Uh-Oh Moment!
If you watched the VMA's then you know exactly what I am talking about. If you didn't catch it..We'll then shame on you!
This Year's Video Music Awards was definitely one for the record books.
Outside of the amazing "Scream" performance by industry vet. Ms. Janet Jackson in honor of her late brother and the King of Pop' passing, and Beyonce's performance of "Single Ladies," the biggest moment of the show went to Kanye West for his uhh "Big Ego."
During eighteen year old country music singer, Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for "Best Female Video," for which she beat out Beyonce, Sir Kanye West attacked the stage, took the mike from young Taylor and said, "Beyonce had one of the best video's of all time!" After the fiasco Kanye West was escorted out of the venue, and Taylor left crying backstage.
Later in the show when Beyonce won "Video of the Year," she allowed Taylor Swift to come out and relive her moment....the right way.
Here is the video if you missed it...
But What Do You Think?
Did Kanye over do it this time?...........

Salt Makes Everything Better!!
So she isn't the girl next door, the girl up the street or the girl at your church. Chances are you have never experienced the remarkable talents of young DC native Courtney Salter. Courtney is not the next Beyonce. Not because she isn't talented enough, but instead her sound is rare enough to put Courtney is a league of her own. While surfing on YouTube I stumbled upon the jazzy sounding superstar singing a cover of the Plain White Tee's 2007 Summer Smash, "Hey There Delilah." And I have been in a daze ever since! If her amazing voice and stellar vibrato doesn't draw you in, her unique style and quirkiness will at least prompt you to want to investigate. If it's music to move the soul that you seek...then allow Courtney to be the moving van for your Enlightenment!
I Caught Up With Courtney and Got the Inside Scoop on her fresh sound, plans for the future, and how she plans to shake up the music industry!!
Check IT OUT!!
Name: Courtney Shanade Salter
Age: 18
Location(State): Chocolate City
G.SPOT(G.S): Where did you grow up?
Courtney Salters(C.S): I Grew up in Chantilly, Virginia, Ashburn Virginia, and all over D.C (Eastern Market area and Friendship heights area).
(G.S): When did you first realize your unique gift(singing)?
(C.S): When did you first realize your unique gift(singing)? When I was in the first grade and my music teacher, Mr. Ring, asked me to sing the star spangled banner in front of my whole elementary school! I knew at the moment that my voice was special.
(G.S): Who inspires your sound?
(C.S): Like a big collaboration of Minnie Ripper Ton, Omarion, Donnie Hathaway, Mariah Carey, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, Jazmine Sullivan, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Flyleaf, Beyonce, Ella Fitzgerald, Chrisette Michelle, and JOHN LEGEND have been major influences to my sound.
(G.S): How did your mixtape come about?
(C.S): There was a producer who promised to help me create music for free, and he would take his sweet time, and conclusively disappeared when I needed him the most. I knew him for 3 months and we only had one song finished, and I wasn‘t even satisfied with results. That series of unfortunate events has inspired me to learn everything myself. I started using this m-audio session producer USB program and started creating recording from there. With no help and no money, but with a brain, my life experiences, a computer, and the notepad software, I was able to create the enlightenment part 1, all by myself!
(G.S): What are your dreams for the near future?
(C.S): I want to rebuild DC, I want to place a huge mall in the middle of NE and SE, and I want the jobs to immediately go to those who struggle the hardest, those who live smack in the middle of the poverty, I want to give them a better gateway. I want to keep the beautiful black people WITHIN DC (instead of moving them, to more ‘affordable’ areas like Maryland) but eliminating the poverty through providing affordable housing. After rebuilding my city, I want to eliminate poverty throughout America, which would decrease crime, enlightening the people with other opportunities, choices, and goals! I want to start my own record label that only contains real talent, and legit management, not the kind of label that will keep you on the shelf or try to ruin your career, but a label of realism and realistic talent.
(G.S): What do you hope listeners will take away from listening to sing?
(C.S): I want someone to be blessed when they hear me sing, and I want them to be motivated and encouraged that there is always light at the end of every obstacle or trial.
(G.S.): What has the hardest thing been about trying to get signed?
(C.S.): Honestly I am no where near interested in getting signed anytime soon, I want my fan base to increase abundantly before I even contemplate on that.
(G.S): When you hear about YouTube success stories(Priscilla Renea, Dondria, Esmee Denters) how do you think you compare in comparison to those artist that have come before you through YouTube?
(C.S): I believe that they are all very talented, but I believe that at the end of day I offer something more unique and real. I’m tired of women conforming to commercialism, why can’t we write songs about more then just booty shaking, love, relationships, men. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF OTHER TOPICS!!! Someone will appreciate where I’m trying to go, more sooner than later.
(G.S): How would you describe in a few words the feelings you feel when you sing?
(C.S): I simply feel liberated and beyond thankful towards God for my life and voice.
(G.S):Do you ever get nervous singing for people?
(C.S):I do get nervous singing for people, you have to realize, when your playing an instrument you can almost assume the sound that your about to project is correct, with voice, you never know!
(G.S): How would you describe your sound?
(C.S): My sound can be described as raspy, punk, raw, ruff, strong, deep, and enlightening.
(G.S): If you couldn't sing what would you be doing?
(C.S): If I couldn’t sing I would be in school for marine biology.
(G.S): What are your some of your favorite songs to sing?
(C.S): John legend’s ‘She don’t have to know’ and Omarion’s ‘I’m gon’’ Change’ are the first two songs that come to mind.
(G.S): What mark do you think you can leave on the music industry?
(C.S): God Willing, I believe that I could be the next Beyonce or Alicia Keys without having to shake my booty or become to glamorized to do it.
FUN QUESTIONS:
Soda or Coke: Man I’m trying to stop drinking soda, but Dr. Pepper and Root Beer!
India Arie or Erykah Badu: India Arie Most definitely, love her soul.
Doritos or Tostitos: Doritos make your breath stink so, Tostitos!
BET or MTV: VH1!
Trueblood or Twilight: The Twilight Zone! lol
The Game or Girlfriends: Girlfriends!
Heels or Sneakers: Combat Boots.
Ipod or Zune: Zune's last longer in life!
Taking after the likes of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and even an overjoyed Jill Scott, Salter undoubtedly will reach for the stars and when she gets there we'll be cheering her on!

A Fight No One Wants To Fight
Hey Bloggers!
I just watched the TV special, Farrah's Story..documenting the TV Star's current battle with Malignant Anal Cancer. I'm terribly saddened by the documentary, yet I'm grateful for her efforts to show how Cancer effects the body, the mind, and the soul. I'm also happy that through her pain she is desperately trying to get the word out and hopefully a cause for change.
The effects of Cancer are devastating, and if you don't know someone with it, its effects are not as penetrating as others would assume. Having just watched the video, I feel so grief stricken that someone, that human beings have to go through such circumstances such as cancer. I think, like most terminal diseases, the effects are never as profound as the numbers of people living with them because like myself most people are oblivious to its look. And for most, there is no "look." It just lives. It lives dormant in the body, and it spreads and it effects you organs, and your soul, and the friends and family around you.
The fight against Cancer is a lonely one, and it makes me wonder with all the money the U.S. has why aren't there more answers, more efficient medicine, more help!
In the documentary Farrah Fawcett traveled to Germany alot, and worked with doctors there as well as with doctors in LA at UCLA for treatment and alternative treatments, and the doctors in Germany were able to offer her better methods of treatment which worked for sometime before her cancer returned. Why aren't those methods here?
Regardless of the answers to the questions I just asked, the fact remains the same. The fact that ever day someone is newly diagnosed with Cancer and there is no cure. No cure for their heart ache, no cure for their pain, and no cure to assure them a tomorrow. So what do we do? Do we give up? Not a chance! We fight harder. We fight harder to cure our friends, our families,and our role models, of all these terminal diseases that they cant beat alone. We ask for help, and we raise awareness. We demand research be done, we educate our children, we inspire hope, and we work for change.
Farrah Fawcett is not the only American who has been diagnosed with the disease. She is one of million. My heart goes out to all of those living with the disease, whom has passed from the disease, and to the relatives and friends who have someone in either situation. I hope that the a cure is found soon for the disease which has stricken so many..and I will continue to help spread awareness to those who don't know..until a cure or phenomenal treatment is found!

Bread Isn't just for the Birds Anymore
BLoggERs!!
NOw I know that I'm not the biggest hip hop fanatic, or rap head you have ever seen, but...I always give credit where credit is due!
So, I home from school, where I have been deprived of television for like 10 months lol, and I'm watching BET's 106 and Park and guess who is on the show...New comer, and white rapper, Asher Roth. Now wait wait..before you laugh..Let me just say Asher Roth is the truth!
Not only is he talented WHICH HE IS! If you haven't heard his new debut album "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" you need to get it! But He also is exremely articulate, and he is a conscious person spreading awarness aboutchild obesity!..which he spit a BLAZING rap about on 106!!
His appearence on 106 and Park[5/15] was a good move, because it gave the world a different side of him! And I like it!
Asher Roth..Not just a one hit wonder..but a star in the making!!
Asleep in the Bread Aisle...GO GET IT! NOW!..NOT TOMORROW TODAY!!!

Whatever the ratio..I'm gonna kill it yall! Just watch!
So on to the point of this post.. Basically I'm here to give a shout out..to all the full figured women everywhere!! There is often such a negative stereotype surrounding the full figured women..and I'm here to say yall got this ladies!!
Whether you love Mo'Nique, Beyonce, Aretha[lol], or Jennifer..
The Full figured women is here to stay..and more beautiful than ever!!
Check out J-Hud's new video..and see just what I'm talking about!!
If this isn't love- Jennifer Hudson
I'll Google Her Now!
Wassup Guys..
So not completely aborting my journalist side, I must report on good music and good singers that just move my soul!! Period!!
Its a calling I swear I have an ear for talent...Don't u think?!
I mean I called Priscilla Renea years ago! Lol NOW Look at her.Bling Bling!
Anyway..Pharell's young female protege Teyana Taylor..came out with a song a few years ago.."google me"..ok if u don't know it...Ur not a fault..the song didn't blow up...it didn't do well and so she has been out of the public eye..except for a few appearances here and there..but I'm sure she was grinding in the studio all the while!
She has been trying to rap..and I've heard that she could sing as well..but never have I witnessed it!!
NOW I have!! She can Blow!![no pun intended] I really think she should try her hand at singing first and incorporate rapping second hand!!
Anyway let me know what you think!
If you didn't google her before...you definitely should now!!

Next order of business!
I have changed my focus a little lol.
I think..no I know!! i want to act!!..I want to be on a series or in a movie!
Here is what I figure..
I'm charismatic, I enjoy making people laugh, I love to entertain, some might even assume that I like to be the center of attention..and whatever the cause..it's what I want..
It's always been something that I wanted to do but insecurities and fear has stepped in my way..but If i want it...i gotta go get it right?
Soooo..here after ...I AM NOW CHANGING MY BLOG TO MY ROAD TO SUCCESS!!!

this summer I will definitely get some acting classes in and declare my acting minor when I get back to the Meccs[howard U..DUHH]:)
I have such big dreams you guys and I really wanna touch the stars in every way possible. I love the arts[music and acting] and I may not be able to sing lol but i want to be invovled. You ever have that passion in you..that fire that all the greats talk about..I I have it..I know I do..i just need an outlet for it..and I'm not sure if my fire has a specific color..if that makes sense but I know its brewing!..If you ever watch any interviews with celebs like Beyonce or Diddy, or anybody that has made it...they always talk about that "thing" that untapped, unknown thing that you feel when your doing what you love..and I wanna feel that..i wanna live that..i wanna know that! and the only way I know to even come close to experiencing that feeling is to just go out and do it!
That type of true happiness is so rare and I want to experience now and live it forever!
I think for the first time in my life..Im starting to acquire a new confidence, a new light to myself that is so attractive and engaging that it scares me! lol
..I'm listening to myself..I'm doing what I want and I'm guiding myself to my dreams!
if I have to scream it to the world..I WILL NOT LOSE..
IM DESTINED FOR GREATNESS..NOT Ur next Doorman on fifth ave or next convict or teen father or even your next door neighbor!!

So as you know, the Obama's finally got their new dog. No not a Dalmatian, or a Yorkie, or a Greyhound, as previously reported but a fluffy and friendly Portuguese Water dog.
The new addition to the family was given to the Obama's my senator Ted Kennedy as a gift to the girls.
The sixth month old puppy will definitely make Sasha and Malia happy campers and add to the long legacy of white house dogs alike!
Check Out the Pics of the new Obama Member "BO"..
While writing this I discovered:
Obama is now under fire because "Bo" may not be a rescue dog. Are you confused?
Good. I'll elaborate. Barack and Michelle when first announcing that they would get the girls a dog advocated a lot for rescue dogs, but animal activist are not too sure that Bo is a "real" rescue dog. Yes, Bo was abandonned by his first owners but he never was sent to a shelter or rescue group making him a "quasi-rescue dog" says critics.

But seriously..who cares? Is it THAT serious?
i mean i have two dogs and could care less if they were rescued or not or even if they were pure bred or not! A dog lover is a dog lover..no more no less..PERIOD!
Personally I think Animal Activists should Leave the Obama's alone and let the dog chill! Is Sophia[Oprah's Cocker Spaniel] a rescue..NO!

Taste So Good..Makes Me Want to Rob You!
Hey Guys!
So If you have not heard! Then Please Let me Inform you...
Yesterday in Jacksonville, FL... A couple was robbed.
Not for jewelry. Not for money. Not even to kidnap their child!...
BUT FOR FRIED CHICKEN!..Lets say it together Black People " I AM EMBARRASED!"
Before I go off on a tangent let me just give you some more of the story..
So a woman was ending her shift, and closing up Popeye's so she could go home..
Apparently her boyfriend comes to pick her up and with some food from work..the couple begins to walk home...while walking home they noticed that they are being followed by a Burgundy Pontiac Sedan...All of a sudden the Sedan pulls up to the side walk and the suspects yell, "Give Us the Chicken!" This continues on for a few more times...
Again I Am really embarrassed black people...but i will continue...because trust me it gets better!
So the couple is ignoring the suspects shouting for chicken and they continue to walk home.. Just when the couple thinks everything is good..Reports say the suspects turned their head lights off..eased up next to the couple and jumps out of the car with a shotgun.. an says "You know what time it is. Give it up," and orders the woman to drop the chicken. Then the boyfriends pleads..the girlfriend is 2 months pregnant..the suspects dont shoot her but they do take purse..and go..and so on so on.
Ok..So..I love chicken..I do...I really do..I had some yesterday..
And I love Popeye's.. Lord knows I do...but there is no way in hell that I would ever rob someone..let alone for some chicken! Some CHicKEN!! Really tho? Is this recession that bad that we are robbing people at gunpoint..with a SHOTGUN..for chicken?!! GOD DAMMIT BLACK PEOPLE..we have got to realize that when we do ignorant things like this...we not only hurt ourselves but our race?!
You already know what those pink people say about us and our chicken and now we just proved how true that stereotype is!!
I am truly truly embarrassed and now..I will just shake my head! I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL..BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO DENY THAT I LIKE CHICKEN UNTIL I DIE..I WILL NOT GIVE THOSE PINK PEOPLE ANY MORE NUMBERS FOR THEIR DAMN STATISTICS!!
I know some of you like visuals...so here you go!

Taking it To the Streets!!!
Taking It to the Streets
By: George Chapman
Whether it was your mother, your father, your great uncle, or that annoying family friend, someone you know told you to use what you have to get what you want. Easy right? Well not quite. Like many inner city youth the students at neighboring high school Francis L. Cardozo possess talents which are often overlooked and discouraged. With little to no support their road to success appeared dim and obsolete but with the help of new found mentors through Street Bid’Naz: A new kind of hustle, their vision became a whole lot clearer.
Street Bid’Naz a grass root organization started by senior Agzja Carey was formed in response to a rash breakout of violence and homicide in the Oakland area of California. In its infancy Agzja held bi-monthly meetings with the Oakland community at the Family Violence Law Center in downtown Oakland while also visiting local high schools with other members of the organization to speak out about the state of the violence and crime which flooded the streets of their community. After much success in Oakland including a largely successful dance competition, Agzja brought the organization with her back to Howard and the District surrounding her, and began the next step of her amazingly beneficial organization.
Like many other public schools in the District, Francis L. Cardozo High School is not well supported, nor is success for its students well anticipated. Many of it’s students are involved in lifestyles most could not dare reciprocate, but nonetheless still deserve an equal opportunity to succeed. Started in the fall of 2008, Agzja and a slew of other supporters began a eight week Saturday program with students from Cardozo High. Serving as friends and eventual mentors, members of the bison community geared up to help the students realize their full potential in order to ensure their success. “Howard being across the street is a big resource for anything that that they want to do. Some want to be producers and singers so we invited them to Verbal Armageddon and other shows exposing them to what they can do when in college,” says freshman English major, Adjoa Nyarko. Supplying internships, emotional support, and guidance, the members of Street Bid’Naz committed more than just their time to helping these gifted individuals.
This past Saturday the organization held its first mentee adoption ceremony in the auditorium of the architecture building. “We created within Street Bid’Naz a family, the black family unit is very powerful, and can be very strong but not if it doesn’t have a strong foundation, so the purpose of the adoption ceremony is to break us up into families and officially adopt our mentors,” says Shenise Miller, sophomore political Science major from New York. For Shenice the organization goes well beyond something to put on a resume. “My brother reminds me of the kids we mentor, and because he is no longer here this[Street Bid’Naz] means my brother’s life, and so it means me saving somebody’s life.”
The large turnout and support for the event emphasized the mentors and founder Agzja Carey’s commitment to the organization and showcased that hearty bison spirit. Receiving tons of donations from campus organizations such as HUSA, Campus Pals, National Council of Negro Women(NCNW), Gentlemen of Drew Social Club(G.O.D.S.C), Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc, and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc helped to make the event that much more successful. Not to mention the gracious community involvement from hairstylist Princess of Joya Imaging Studio with assistance from female bisonette Janay Sanders and Jasmine Rice as well as fellow hairstylist Zelena Williams and Dana Lawrence. In addition to hair, there was a slew of involvement from outside resources including make-up by Leigh Jones and music by turn table master DJ Konshince and friends. Senior political science major, and member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc, Marcus Ware notes his fraternity for helping cultivate his passion for mentoring. “Our chapter donated some of the clothes and shoes that are going to be used today because as a chapter we just felt like the development of young men is one of the most important things we can do as college level men.”
As the mentee’s were placed in their respective mentoring families the excitement and screams from family members and friends grew louder. As one of the young women opened up her gift for which each family presented a mentee with she cried from the overwhelming feeling of the gesture. In fact the whole ceremony was filled with tears but none more meaningful than founder Agzja Carey’s. Kimberley Overton, a parent of one of the mentee’s said in response to her child being involved in “Street Bid’Naz that, “ He is a little more responsible, and prompt, I can never get him up on Saturday to do anything, but he got up to come here[Street Bid’Naz].” A reception in the lounge of Drew Hall followed the Ceremony where mentee Vanda Hill reflected on the experience noting, “My biggest problem was coming to school on time and doing homework, I’ve changed because having somewhere there has shown me that school is not always boring, it’s good, and it’s fun too!”
First Lady "daps" up Queen Elizabeth?!!
SUP yaLL!!
I've been posting a lot lately haven't I?? but you know what? You love it lol!!
But Let me just say I was really excited to post this because I need to vent! Reading/ Watching the news really annoy me sometimes.. and what many news stations and reporters find important are getting dumber and dumber!
So I'm reading the news today, and reporters are actually reporting on the way First Lady Michelle Obama may have wrongly "greeted" the Queen of England, when the Obama's were act Buckingham Palace yesterday. Seriously?!! THE WAY SHE GREETED HER?!!
But let me not get upset too much before I tell you what happen..ok so the news reports that many spectators, and officials are a little concerned about the fact that the first lady touched the Queen during their recent encounter. During a Reception for those leaders attending the G-20 summit, The Queen rested her hand on Michele Obama's back, and then a few seconds later...the first lady DID THE SAME THING!!! R U SERIOUS?!!! SINCE WHEN IS THE QUEEN UNTOUCHABLE?
SHE IS NOT ALL MIGHTY!! this is the type of things that make me angry..
Michelle Obama was first criticized for touching the Queen even though she was just returning the what I like to call "side hug"...that old White lady probably scared her! Not to mention the fact that when the two exchanged gifts which is standard Protocol..Michelle gave the Queen an i pod..but the Queen gave Michelle a picture of herself?!! A picture of you?! Seriously? If She wanted to see the Queen she could just Google her!!
I'm done y'all because that just ruined my day! it really did!!
but I'm really interested to know what you all think?
Comment Below and Lets discuss it! also.....Vote on the Polls to your Left!
Thanks!
Here is a video about it..[Courtesy of CNN.COM]

Ms. Kelly gets more "Independent"?!
Ok Guys Lots going oN today!
If you have been keeping up with the blog than you would have read a few weeks ago that Ms. Kelly has parted ways with long time manager Matthews Knowles. Knowles, the father of R&B legend Beyonce Knowles has been Kelly's manager for her entire career thus getting her to where she is today...whether or not you agree that she should be in the place that she is or not!![cuz' u know what they say lol]
But Ms. Kelly is on a role and in following this hot streak, the Grammy Award Winner has announced today that she has left her long time label Columbia Records. Columbia Records has also been her home from being a third of Destiny's Child through her solo career, and latest LP. Kelly told Billboard Magazine that she will still work with Columbia Records in collaboration with her band mates for future Destiny's Child endeavors.
Kelly also told Billboard, "Because Columbia Records has been my home base as an artist for more than a decade, the decision to move out on my own required a lot of soul-searching." She continued on, "As a solo artist, I felt the need to explore new directions, new challenges, and new freedoms outside my comfort zone and my friends and family at Columbia have been incredibly understanding about my evolution."
Columbia Records also released a statement, "Kelly Rowland is one of our finest contemporary artists and a musical force to be reckoned with," said Rob Stringer, CEO, Columbia/Epic Label Music Group. "It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with Kelly and we will continue our working relationship with her under the Destiny's Child moniker. The decision for Kelly to seek other opportunities for her solo career was agreed upon mutually, and any reports to the contrary are false."
Previously there had been rumors that the R&B beauty was dropped, but Columbia Records clearly states...it was mutual!
There has been no reports of the "Dilemma" star going to a new record label yet...but best wishes to her from the staff at "Swagg-less Concerns"

Disney's Princess Tiana has Jungle Fever?!
Hey Guys!
So briefly here is the scoop. Disney has been working on it's well anticipated debut of its newest movie, The Frog Princess which will star it's first African American Princess, voice of Dreamgirl's Anika Noni Rose this fall. That of course is great...but news of her princes' lighter skin has caused a stir in the African American Community. Sadly enough there has been much outrage over the color of the princes' skin.
Reports have noted that the prince is not actually white but of Hispanic heritage. Either way, many still are not satisfied and doesn't understand why Disney's first Black Princess has to be the only princess to have a prince outside of her race besides her predecessor Pocahontas, who lived happily ever after with John Smith who was white(based on a true story).
What do you think guys?
Are some members of the African American Community being too judgmental?
Should the prince be African American?
Should President Barack Obama have a cartoon? lol [just thought i'd ask lol]
Comment Below your thoughts are appreciated!

Chris Brown Going to Jail?!
Damn Damn Damn.
Chris Brown has reportedly been charged with 2 Felonies in connection with his Pre- Grammy Attack on Rihanna. The R&B Crooner faces a maximum of four years and eight months in prison!
The star is allegedly going to be arraigned today at 3:30 pm in downtown LA.
Also!!
There has just been shocking evidence provided by the LAPD of what really happen in the car with the two teen sensations!
Courtesy of TMZ.COM
"FOX 11 in L.A. obtained LAPD detectives notes from a search warrant in the case. According to the notes, Rihanna read a three-page text message on Brown's phone from a woman. An argument ensued and Brown allegedly tried forcing Rihanna out of the car but couldn't because she was wearing her seat belt.
Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna's head against the passenger window. When Rihanna turned to face him, Brown punched her, then continued punching her while driving, according to the detective's notes.
Blood spattered all over Rihanna's clothing and in the interior of the car. Her mouth was filled with blood.
Brown allegedly told Rihanna, "I'm going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see."
Rihanna called her assistant and left a message saying, "I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there."
Brown then replied, "You just did the stupidest thing ever. I'm going to kill you."
According to the report, Brown continued to punch Rihanna, bit her on her ear, her fingers and put her in a headlock -- she almost lost consciousness."

Does true love conquer all? Let me know what you think
