Remy Ma Found Gulity

Rapper Remy Martin has been found guilty on four charges stemming from an incident last July where she was accused of shooting her former friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph after accusing her for stealing $3,000 dollars from her purse.



This is a very very sad story. I am saddened by the stupidity of Remy Ma for shooting someone in an effort to maintain street cred. It's real hard to sell albums from jail--just ask Shine. Shaking my head. The full story can be found here. Also, Remy is facing up to 25 years in prison.

Do Not Take Lessons in Crime From 80's Movies

I don't know why these guys thought they would get away with this. Definitely one for the books in terms of stupid criminal behavior.

Two men wheeled a dead man through the streets in an office chair to a check-cashing store and tried to cash his Social Security check before being arrested on fraud charges, police said.

David J. Dalaia and James O'Hare pushed Virgilio Cintron's body from the Manhattan apartment that O'Hare and Cintron shared to Pay-O-Matic, about a block away, spokesman Paul Browne said witnesses told police.

"The witnesses saw the two pushing the chair with Cintron flopping from side to side and the two individuals propping him up and keeping him from flopping from side to side," Browne said.

The men left Cintron's body outside the store, went inside and tried to cash his $355 check, Browne said. The store's clerk, who knew Cintron, asked the men where he was, and O'Hare told the clerk they would go and get him, Browne said.

A police detective who was having lunch at a restaurant next to the check-cashing store noticed a crowd forming around Cintron's body, and "it's immediately apparent to him that Cintron is dead," Browne said.

American Gladiators

On Sunday night I had the pleasure of being among the millions of Americans to view what is simultaneously the best and worst thing to happen in television in years--the return of American Gladiators.

Fabulously shitty, it ran for not 30 min but a full hour. The challenges were the same as the old version: The Joust, The Gauntlet, The Wall, That Stupid Challenge Where You Run Around and Try to get Balls in a Basket While the Gladiators Beat Your Ass, and many more.

The contestants were super boring, nothing to say about them. We all know the real stars are the Gladiators themselves. I am entirely too lazy to profile all of them but here are my faves/most hated:

Faves:

Titan: Awesome because he is the roided up version of a real life Ken doll, complete with non-threatening genital mound.



Crush: I like her because she may be the only bio-fem out of the entire group. Plus she has a sassy asymmetrical bob.




Hellga: Because she could crush me with her bare hands and there is something about that that I appreciate.



Hate:

Toa: I am assuming he is a Pacific Islander (perhaps Samoan?). What really bugged me was that fact that he kept doing random "tribal warrior dances" and threatening contestants in his native tongue. NBC didn't supply a direct translation but I can guess the translation was along the lines of, "I hate myself for bastardizing my native culture for mindless entertainment. Please God I hope these checks clear."



Mayhem: Very disturbing looking. Hello girlfriend.




Can't say that I will tune in for another episode but I did appreciate the amusement the premiere brought me on Sunday. Lastly, why the hell is Laila Ali involved in this? Seriously Dancing with the Stars helps revive careers and this is the best that her management could do?

Scary

This is why I rarely leave New York City. These kids probably hate Blacks and Jews as well. Nice of their parents to support blind, irrational hatred. Shaking my head.

Oooh Tyra!!!

For fans of America's Next Top Model here is a bit of scandal. Jezebel has a story today proving that Tyra has had a long standing prior relationship with one of the current ANTM contestants Saleisha.

I know it's reality TV and this is all scripted and edited but it sucks to see how much of a bullshit "competition" it really is knowing that one of the leading contestants was a part of Tyra's summer camp and has has worked as a model with Tyra for years. Suspect!

Get the full story here and check out some video evidence as well.

The R Strikes Again

People! When will you ever learn that you can't bring R-Kelly around your kids. According to AllHipHop.com the reason for the recent split between R.Kelly and his long time publicist Regina Daniels is that he was humping her 19-year-old daughter. I don't know how long it will be before I stop being amused by his outlandishness and start being offended by his frequent offenses. Check out All Hip Hop for the full story.

Why!!
