RRR ARF!! ARF!! What the deal! Have we learned nothing from Michael Vick!!


HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!! Oh DMX. The drugs, the guns and the dogs. Well this time it's the dogs. 12 pit bulls were seized from DMX's home along with his arsenal of weaponry. The dogs were apparently "distressed". If I was a pit and my owner barked at me I would be "distressed" too. Keep you head up brotha, things could always be worse...you could be Michael Vick.

Dogs Rescued from DMX's House
Posted Aug 24th 2007 4:04PM by TMZ Staff

KPNX television in Phoenix is reporting that the Maricopa County, Ariz. Sherrif's Department raided rapper DMX's home this morning in Cave Creek and removed 12 distressed pit bulls. DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was not home at the time. News 12 is reporting a large cache of weapons was found in the home as well.DMX has a long rap sheet (pun intended). He was arrested in 1999 for allegedly stabbing and shooting his mother. He was later cleared of those charges. In 2002, he pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges.

Can this guy be serious?!!!!

OK. Where do I begin? So I can understand that the Canadians can be assholes sometimes, but then what country don't have assholes? And I understand that rappers are the victim of profiling at times but on the flipside ni**as do say that they will shoot you in the face so it's kind of tit for tat. This guy on the left is a producer for Murdercap records, an up and coming label in Detroit. He's got a 9o0 million dollar lawsuit against the Canadian government alleging enough with the racial profiling across Canadian borders. Still, I dont have a problem with that. However what I do have a problem with is one of his choices for representaion...ni**a chose Oprah. Oprah? Oprah Winfrey negro woman from the south?!! (shout out to Howard Stern on that hilarious sound byte). Not too long ago I believe that she spoke out against hip-hop and what it was representing in it's lyrics and videos. Which is her right as a billionaire and an American citizen, though I may not agree with everything she says. Why would you even think that she would want to testify on YOUR behalf?!!! The name of your label is Murdercap Records. M-U-R-D-E-R-C-A-P. The word murder kind of insinuates that you and your label mates will murder somebody. Your pic has you with your hands out like your holding guns ready to cap a muthafucka!! Call me crazy but I don't think that Oprah is going to get on the stand and say "You know I totally stand behind Murdercap records and what they are trying to do." She told Kanye West that she didn't even like some of the things that he said and Kanye aint even a gangsta rapper! I applaud your efforts...but get a clue homeboy, and while your busy searching for that clue enjoy your 15 minutes...

Oprah, Paris Hilton subpoenaed in lawsuit over Canadian border crossing
Paul Egan / The Detroit News

A Detroit record producer has subpoenaed Paris Hilton, Oprah, Mick Jagger and more than three dozen other celebrities to appear in Detroit on Sept. 22 to testify in his $900 million federal lawsuit alleging racial discrimination by Canadian border officials.
But a law professor at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law said it is unlikely the 41 entertainment figures will have to appear at Cobo Center to give depositions in Jerome Almon's lawsuit.
"
Without being well-versed on the facts of the case, I think that autograph-seekers should not start lining up for the event," Professor Lawrence A. Dubin said today.
Almon, 42, who heads the rap label Murdercap Records, filed a lawsuit in January in U.S. District Court in Detroit alleging he and other black rappers are unfairly harassed and detained by officials at the Canadian border.

Canadian officials have denied they discriminate on the basis of race.
Almon said today he is subpoenaing black celebrities such as Oprah, Spike Lee and Snoop Dogg because he wants them to testify about their own problems experienced at the Canadian border.
And he wants white celebrities such as Martha Stewart and Paris Hilton, who have both done jail time, to testify about how comparatively easy it is for them to cross into Canada, often receiving "red carpet" treatment, he said.

"I'm dead serious," said Almon, who alleges he has been repeatedly detained and harassed by Canadian officials since 1992 and had his entry to Canada banned indefinitely in 2003, despite providing officials with documents showing he has no criminal record.
Hilton plans to visit Toronto Sept. 5 to shoot a film, despite being recently released from jail on repeat driving offenses, he said.

Almon said he had to rent a room at Cobo Center for the depositions.

Dubin said a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit can subpoena anyone, but in certain cases those who receive subpoenas can seek court orders overturning them.

"A judge has the responsibility to see that a litigant does not abuse the discovery process," Dubin said.

ATLANTA (AP) --
Michael Vick's father said he asked his son to give up dogfighting, or to at least put property used in the venture in the names of others to avoid being implicated, according to a report in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Also Thursday night, a report on ESPN.com cited an unidentified ESPN source saying Vick will not admit to killing dogs or gambling on dogfights when he enters a guilty plea in a Richmond, Va., federal court Monday.
ESPN reported that Vick's defense team met with federal attorneys Thursday afternoon to determine the "summary of facts" to which Vick will plead. But ESPN's source said Vick maintains he never killed dogs and never gambled on a dog fight. The source told ESPN the
Atlanta Falcons quarterback will plead guilty to the charge of interstate commerce for the purpose of dogfighting.
On Monday, Vick agreed to plead guilty Monday in the federal dogfighting case in Richmond. He faces up to five years in prison and the possible end of his football career. Three co-defendants already pleaded guilty and were expected to testify against Vick if the case went to trial. In addition, a Virginia prosecutor is considering bringing state charges against Vick.
In The Journal-Constitution report posted on the newspaper's Web site Thursday night, Michael Boddie, who is estranged from Vick and the quarterback's mother, also said some time around 2001 his son staged dogfights in the garage of the family home in Newport News, Va.
Boddie told the newspaper Vick kept fighting dogs in the family's backyard, including dogs that were "bit up, chewed up, exhausted." Boddie claimed to have nursed the dogs back to health.
The indictment against Vick does not mention the parents' former home in Newport News.
In the report, Boddie dismissed the idea that Vick's longtime friends were the main instigators of the dogfighting operation.
"I wish people would stop sugarcoating it," Boddie told The Journal-Constitution. "This is Mike's thing. And he knows it ... likes it, and he has the capital to have a set up like that."
The report said Boddie and the Atlanta Falcons quarterback have had a volatile relationship for years and that his son has refused to speak with him directly for the last 2 1/2 half months.
Boddie, 45, lives in an apartment his son has paid the rent on for the last three years. Vick, who has a $130 million contract with the Falcons, also gives him a couple of hundred dollars every week or two, the father told the newspaper.
In the report, Boddie also said he asked Vick for $1 million, spread out over 12 years, Vick declined, the father said. Recently, Boddie asked Vick, through an assistant, for $700,000 to live on.

Nicole Ritchie released from jail after 82 hours. The bitch had 4 days...


Thats some bullshit. Its not like it was even her first conviction. She is a serial drunk driver. If that was anybody else, they'd be sitting in jail for at least 30 days. The ladies of MADD should jump all on this shit. Fuck a law. She ain't even on the A list. If a B lister like this can beat the law, an A lister like Brad Pitt could probally kill somebody, tape it, show it on you tube, and still walk away!!

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Nicole Richie was released from jail Thursday after serving 82 minutes of a four-day sentence for driving under the influence of drugs.
The reality show star, who checked into a women's jail at 3:15 p.m., was released at 4:37 p.m. "based on her sentence and federal guidelines," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Maribel Rizo said without elaborating.
Under a federal court mandate to manage jail overcrowding, arrestees sentenced to 30 days or less for a nonviolent offense are usually released within 12 hours, the sheriff's department said in a statement.
Under the guidelines, Richie was "treated in the same manner as other inmates with a similar sentence," the statement said.

(AP) Nicole Richie departs the courthouse in Glendale, Calif., Friday, July 27, 2007. Richie was...Full ImageRichie, 25, was originally sentenced to 96 hours in jail, but that was reduced to 90 hours because of time served when she was arrested.
Richie arrived at jail with her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley and her boyfriend, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden. Her time at the Century Regional Detention Facility was spent getting booked, including taking a mugshot and submitting her fingerprints, Holley said.
She didn't reach her jail cell.
"She was really treated like any other inmate," Holley said. "I think every inmate in her position, with that type of charge, would have been treated as she was."
Just hours before Richie did her time, Lindsay Lohan was charged with seven misdemeanor drunken-driving and cocaine charges for two arrests in the last four months. Attorney Blair Berk arranged a plea bargain and Lohan was sentenced to one day in jail, 10 days of community service and must complete a drug treatment program. She was also fined and placed on 36 months probation.
Richie served her 82 minutes at the county jail in suburban Lynwood, the same place her "The Simple Life" co-star Paris Hilton was housed for nearly three weeks after she was convicted of driving on a suspended license while on probation for an alcohol-related reckless driving case.
Richie was arrested on Dec. 11, 2006, after witnesses reported seeing her black Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle headed the wrong way on a freeway in Burbank. The California Highway Patrol said they found her parked in the car pool lane.
Richie pleaded guilty in July to a misdemeanor DUI charge in a deal with prosecutors that helped her avoid a potential year in jail because it was a second driving-under-the-influence conviction.
Her first conviction was in 2003 for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Richie, the daughter of Lionel Richie, told authorities after being arrested in December that she had smoked marijuana and taken the prescription painkiller Vicodin, a CHP officer said at the time. No drugs were found on her or in her car.

Apparently Domestic Violence is having the best week ever. Amy Winehouse and Husband have a bloody divalicious catfight!!



Damn, looks like Amy might have won this one too. She weights like 80 pounds. The husband must be the biggiest pussy in the whole damn London!! But regardless, he looks like he got a couple of sweet slugs in on her too consider her whole head is swollen and she looks like she lost some teeth...Wait a minute, she never had teeth to begin with as this old picture reveals...LMAO...False call... and what makes it even more fun is she has a MTV awards performance coming up...

Hopefully she heals.

The fight in the early hours of yesterday left 23-year-old Miss Winehouse with blood staining her pink ballet shoes and the knees of her jeans. Purple bruises could be seen on the side of her neck and her knuckles were swollen.But her 24-year-old husband appeared to have come off a lot worse - with cuts and scratches on both cheeks and around his neck. Before the big fight, the singer had made a solo trip out of the hotel at 11pm, walking a few yards down the road to meet and hug a girl in her 20s before returning alone.An eyewitness said it appeared the girl handed over some kind of small package to Miss Winehouse as they hugged

Televangelist Juanita Bynum beaten by husband in parking lot: Atlanta police
ATLANTA (AP) - Juanita Bynum, a televangelist who has won a national following with sermons about women's empowerment, was badly bruised in a fight with her estranged husband as they met in an attempt to reconcile, police said.
No charges were filed in connection with the confrontation between Bynum and preacher Thomas Weeks, founder of Global Destiny churches, police said Thursday.
The fight happened early Wednesday in the parking lot of the Renaissance Concourse Hotel near Atlanta's airport, Officer Ronald Campbell said, adding that a hotel bellman pulled Weeks off Bynum.
"She was bruised up and battered," Campbell told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "She had purple bruising around her neck and upper torso."
Weeks did not return a phone message or an e-mail request for comment Thursday by The Associated Press. A call to Global Destiny was answered only by a recorded message with information about the ministry.
Campbell told The Associated Press on Thursday he was unsure if investigators had spoken with Weeks.
Asked about the fight, a woman who answered the phone at Juanita Bynum Ministries in Waycross said: "We're not at liberty to discuss it at this time."
Bynum is a former flight attendant and homemaker who became a Pentecostal evangelist. She got a break when Bishop T. D. Jakes invited her to speak at one of his conferences several years ago.
Her ministry blossomed after her "No More Sheets" sermon about breaking free of sexual promiscuity at a singles event.
She writes books, records inspirational CDs and preaches to millions through televised sermons.
She married Weeks in 2002 in a televised wedding.












Cocaine is a hell of drug!!!


Somewhere in the world there is a drug kingpin who is PISSED. 352 million dollars worth of cocaine got busted yesterday. That's 5,000 kilos. Wow. Oh the fiends are gonna go crazy!!! Apparently these drug dealers got the idea to smuggle drugs over seas, or under seas rather, to US borders. This could have been a great idea until the idiots decided to show half of the sub on the top of the water. They were then spotted by surveillance planes who contacted the law. The law then swiflty came and locked their asses up. If I were them I would want to spend the rest of my days in jail cause when Tony Montana gets wind of this it's gonna be "Say hello to my lil friend!" time if you know what I mean.

US foils submarine drug-smuggling plot
Posted Thu Aug 23, 2007 8:22am AEST

A submarine carrying cocaine worth an estimated $US352 million ($435 million) was intercepted by US authorities off the coast of Central America, authorities said.
US Customs and Border Protection said the semi-submersible vessel - which was only partially visible from the surface - was spotted by a surveillance plane 482 kilometres south-west of the Mexico-Guatemala border on Monday.
The plane then guided a US Navy ship to the scene as the four suspected drug smugglers scuttled the vessel along with the bulk of its cargo, believed to be around 5,000 kilograms of cocaine.

The suspects and 11 bales of cocaine weighing around 548 kilograms were eventually recovered from the scene.

US Customs and Border Protection spokesman Michael Friel said that cases of smugglers using semi-submersible craft were rare.

"There have been recorded cases involving these sorts of vessels but they are extremely rare," Mr Friel told said.

"It indicates the sophisticated methods smugglers use to try and avoid detection."

R. Kelly Trial: Prosecutors Say Veins are EvidenceBy:
Julianne ShepherdPOSTED: 10:37 EST, August 22, 2007

A judge ruled Tuesday (August 21) that the videotape in the R. Kelly child pornography trial can be shown in full when the proceedings begin this September. Cook County Circuit Judge Vince Gaughan said the tape was key evidence in the prosecutors' case, rebutting the argument by Kelly's lawyers that the tape would unfairly bias the jury against him.Additionally, the prosecution wants to bring in an expert to compare vein patterns in R. Kelly's hands with the hands of the man in the tape, to prove he is indeed Kelly. The defense decried this motion as faulty science, not comparable to matching fingerprints. The judge has postponed a ruling on whether the veins argument will be allowed in court. The videotape at the center of the case depicts a man the prosecution alleges is Kelly, engaged in sexual activity and urinating on a 14-year-old girl. The teen allegedly depicted in the video is now 23 and refuses to cooperate with investigators. Because she will not admit it's her, the judge has ruled she cannot be referred to as "the victim" in the trial. Instead, she will be called the "state's witness" and/or "alleged victim."The trial begins September 17. If convicted, Kelly faces a maximum of 15 years in prison.

And it begins, Rappin Granny, more commonly referred to as Madonna, releases the first track from her new hip hop album....

Whats also interesting is the lyrics from a song co written by Justin Timberlake and Timbaland with lyrics believed to be dissing Britney Spears...I guess all that hanging with 50 Cent influenced the rapping aging pop queen.

Boys are lined up taking a number
She thinks she's real special (so special)
Has all the men in the palm of her hand
But of course, she doesn't understand
She's on a path of destruction

(Chorus)
She's a pretty little thang
Dressed in her short short skirt
Made up like a circus clown
Getting rides all around town
Attracting all the good lookin' guys
Desperate for any type of attention
In and out of rehabilitation
Now, she may seem like a real catch
But I guarantee you'll end up
With more than a one night stand

Call the doctor... your physician
A life of appointments await you
(a brief string instrumental)In the newspapers, on TV
Oh look, do you see her kitty?
Not shy... is she? (is she?)
Are you still interested? (hope not?)

(another brief string instrumental)
(Chorus)She's a pretty little thang
Dressed in her short short skirt
Made up like a circus clown
Getting rides all around town
Attracting all the good lookin' guys
Desperate for any type of attention

Yeah....She's a pretty little thang
Dressed in her short short skirt
Made up like a circus clown
Getting rides all around town
Attracting all the good lookin' guys
Desperate for any type of attention
In and out of rehabilitation

Is there a happy ending?
Unfortunately, we don't know yet
Girls like her come and go
Looking for a good showStrung out, acting like a fool
She has her own set of rules

My brother is a bum! Janet Jackson is furious at her brother Jermaine. Jermaine abandoned his third wife and two kids, and now his mother, 74-year old Katherine Jackson, has to pay the child support and provide housing. Alejandra Jackson used to be with Randy Jackson and had two kids by him. Then she left him for Jermaine. Now, Jermaine has dumped her for another woman. Jermaine’s new woman has money, so he could care less. He’s going with the cash. Janet is upset because she pays her mother’s bills, so therefore Jermaine’s ex and kids are being supported by her. Janet can’t believe her brother is standing by and letting his mother handle his business. Janet wants the men in her family to man up, get jobs and stop relying on their mother and family for handouts. There are kids, exes and girlfriends everywhere, and guess who has to pick up the tab? The Jacksons that have jobs have to.

Sisters Defrauded Pentagon of $20 Million
By TONY CAPACCIO

Bloomberg NewsAugust 17, 2007



A small South Carolina parts supplier collected about $20.5 million over six years from the Pentagon for fraudulent shipping costs, including $998,798 for sending two 19-cent washers to an Army base in Texas, American officials said.

The company also billed and was paid $455,009 to ship three machine screws costing $1.31 each to Marines in Habbaniyah, Iraq, and $293,451 to ship an 89-cent split washer to Patrick Air Force Base in Cape Canaveral, Florida, Pentagon records show. The owners of C&D Distributors in Lexington, S.C. Â-- twin sisters Â-- exploited a flaw in an automated Defense Department purchasing system: bills for shipping to combat areas or American bases that were labeled "priority" were usually paid automatically, Cynthia Stroot, a Pentagon investigator, said.
C&D and two of its officials were barred in December from receiving federal contracts. Yesterday, a federal judge in Columbia, S.C., accepted the guilty plea of the company and one sister, Charlene Corley, to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to launder money, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin McDonald said. Corley, 46, was fined $750,000. She faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years on each count and will be sentenced soon, Mr. McDonald said in a telephone interview from Columbia. Ms. Stroot said her sibling died last year.

Corley didn't immediately return a phone message left on her answering machine at her office in Lexington. Her attorney, Gregory Harris, didn't immediately return a phone call placed to his office in Columbia.

C&D's fraudulent billing started in 2000, Ms. Stroot, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service's chief agent in Raleigh, N.C., said in an interview. "As time went on, they got more aggressive in the amounts they put in." The price the military paid for each item shipped rarely reached $100 and totaled just $68,000 over the six years in contrast to the $20.5 million paid for shipping, she said.
"The majority, if not all of these parts, were going to high-priority, conflict areas Â-- that's why they got paid," Ms. Stroot said. If the item was earmarked "priority," destined for the military in Iraq, Afghanistan, or certain other locations, "there was no oversight."
The scheme unraveled in September after a purchasing agent noticed a bill for shipping two more 19-cent washers: $969,000. That order was rejected and a review turned up the $998,798 payment earlier that month for shipping two 19-cent washers to Fort Bliss, Texas, Ms. Stroot said.

The Pentagon's Defense Logistics Agency orders millions of parts a year.

Anyways, not surprisingly, Diddy's, back then, Puffy Daddy's "I'll Be Missing You" is number 2. That was 3 times platinum. I remember seeing that on the charts when I was a kid working at Sam Goodys.
The third is not really rap, but still I'll give it to them. The Fugees "Killing Me Softly" is the third, and the forth is also not really rap...Gnarles Barkley's "Crazy".

Finally, Oprah, Al and Russell called out on their anti lyric messiness!!



I am so glad rappers with balls like David Banner are finally speaking up against Oprah, Russell, and especially Al Sharpton's lame, white washed ass. You notice all the big names are keeping their mouths shut like little bitches cause Russell signing their checks...And speaking of russell, who has made more off of these "lyrics" then he has?

But anyways...Good going fellas. Al Sharpton, Oprah and especially Russell need to be called out on their messiness. Hip Hop is art and expression. How you gonna tell an artist how to express themselves..?



TAZ


Taken from SOHH.com

In response to Reverend Al Sharpton's recent rallies against hip-hop's explicit lyrical content, SOHH caught up with rappers Talib Kweli and David Banner for their views on the political activist.
As previously reported by SOHH, Sharpton organized protests across the nation earlier this week, calling for the end of the music industry's government funding, unless rap artists clean up its act. The reverend is specifically demanding the removal of the words n***er, b***h and h*e from rap recordings.
Now, members of the hip-hop community are speaking in their own defense against Sharpton's crusade.
"First, I'm an artist and I'm gonna say what I want to say," Talib Kweli told SOHH. "Nobody's gonna tell me what I can or can't say.
"[While] I do think that people like Al Sharpton and Oprah and Russell Simmons are our vanguards and our elders and that we should respect them," the Brooklyn emcee continued. "They have been here representing for us since before even hip-hop was here. What they say is important and it's relevant but I think we need our own leadership so that we can respectfully disagree and say 'I hear you uncle Russell, I hear you Al Sharpton' and be respectful about it. But we can't cow tow to them either."
A less diplomatic and more vocal David Banner also weighed in on the subject, saying that he is not and has never been a fan of Sharpton and that he is doing more to hurt the situation than to help.
"The next time you see Al Sharpton, tell him I said @#*$ him and he can suck my dick," an animated David Banner exclaimed. "I might change the name of my album from The Greatest Story Never Told to @#*$ Al Sharpton. I hate Al Sharpton. This is the kind of @#!* that I'm talking about. They're killing kids in New Jersey and all across the country and all a @#*$% got to talk about is rap lyrics? @#*$ that about they're our elders and we gotta respect them. I'm tired of this. They're like the parents, but the parents are crucifying the kids.
"They tried to crucify Nelly and Akon. We need to come together because they're only doing this because we're not saying anything," Banner added. "He's [Sharpton] a permed-out pimp. Him and Jesse Jackson are out here charging people to do rallies with them. They're more worried about their investors than our kids. Tell him David Banner said it."
"@#*$%s talk a good game about we need to clean up the hood and the lyrics and all that. But I'm out here doing it. Who can say that?"

Ok, so this is a real fuckin mess if it's true. According to L.A. RagMag, who were on the Adam Corolla show recently, revealed that Jessica Alba got herpes. Eeeeeel. Her ex boyfriend (Cash somebody) hath revealed that he used to pick up her perscription for Valtrex, the ultimate herpes relief meds. He supposedly disclosed the bottle with Jessicas info on it but I can't confirm that one. But wait it gets worse. Wanna know who she got it from (drumroll please) New York Yankees notorious cock slinger Derek "I'm fuckin every hollywood bitch I can before I retire" Jeter. That's right. Now think about. Jeter has slung cock to such hollywood chicks as Mariah Carey, Jessica Biel, Vanessa Manillio and we already know that he gave Jessica Alba the herpes. So that means that Justin Timberlake who's fuckin Jessica Biel and Nick Lachey who's fuckin Vanessa could have STD's. That is hilarious. By the way this takes Jessica Alba off of my chicks I really wanna bone list completely. Sorry boo you're hot but not contract herpes hot.

They're sloppy, fun drunks, and they get mighty flirty after a couple tipples. Getting Aries people drunk is a good way to get what you want out of them, should other methods fail. Aries can become bellicose when blotto, but they will assume that whatever happened should be forgiven (if not forgotten) by sunrise. They can be counted on to do the same for you -- so long as you haven't gone and done anything really horrible to them last night, you sneaky Gemini.Trademark cocktailsAries, born under the hot-stuff planet Mars, is the ruler of spicy food and red things -- and for balance, astrologers recommend they eat tomatoes, onions, olives and greens.

Drinking style...Taurus prefers to drink at a leisurely pace, aiming for a mellow glow rather than a full-on zonk. Since a truly intoxica ted Taurus is a one-person stampede, the kind of bull-in-a-china-shop inebriate who spills red wine on white carpets and tells fart jokes to employers, the preference for wining and dining (or Bud and buddies) to body shots and barfing is quite fortunate for the rest of us. This is not to say that the Bull is by any means a teetotaler -- god, no. A squiffy Taurus will get, er, gregarious (full of loudmouth soup, some would say) and is extremely amusing to drag to a karaoke bar when intoxicated.Trademark cocktailsEarly-to-bed Taureans need a picker-upper -- try a Red Bull and vodka. They also have a leviathan sweet tooth and are fond of drinks with names that sound like dessert (50-50 bar, mudslide). Sweetly caffeinated drinks, like Irish coffee or white Russians, are ideal. More macho Taureans will go for something unpretentious, like a Jack and Coke or whiskey sour.

GEMINI

Drinking style...Geminis can drink without changing their behavior much -- they're so naturally chatty and short-attention-spanned that it's just hard to tell sometimes. They can amaze you by conversing with finesse and allusion, then doing something to belie an extremely advanced state of intoxication, like puking in your shoe. Geminis possess the magic ability to flirt successfully (and uninfuriatingly, which is very tricky) with several people at once. They like to order different cocktails every round -- repetition is boring -- and may create a theme (like yellow drinks: beer, sauvignon blanc and limoncello) for their own amusement.Trademark cocktailsEasily bored Geminis need some stimulation in their drinks -- those with two parts, like a black and tan (or just a double), are particularly appealing. Otherwise, they'll drink all over the map, ordering frou-frou drinks to add to their collection of cocktail monkeys or going for whiskey rocks because they're feeling rather noir. Gemini rules the herb anise -- make some home-infused anise vodka as a gift.

CANCER

Drinking style...Cancer is a comfort drinker -- and an extra wine with dinner or an after-work beer or six can be extra comforting, can't it, Cancer darling? Like fellow water signs Scorpio and Pisces, Crabs must guard against lushery. Cancers are brilliant at ferreting out secret parties and insinuating themselves on VIP lists -- and, in true Hollywood style, Cancers are never really drunk; instead, they get "tired and emotional" (read: weepy when lubricated). But there's nothing better than swapping stories (and spit) over a few bottles of inky red wine with your favorite Cancer. Even your second-favorite Cancer will do. Keep in mind once started, a Cancer never stops... drinking.Trademark cocktailsRuled by the moon, Cancers are intrigued by the idea of moonshine -- any booze, from a bourbon press to a whiskey and soda to grandpappy's special brew in a mason jar, will do. They also like comfortingly warm and sweet drinks, like hot toddies and hot buttered rums. The sign also rules the flavor vanilla, and you'd be adored if you served up a vanilla vodka and soda. Though a six-pack of bud will do.
Drinking buddies...Pamela Anderson, George W. Bush, Bill Cosby, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Sean Hayes, Lil' Kim, George Michael, Princess Diana, Prince William

LEO

Drinking style...Leo likes to drink and dance -- they're often fabulous dancers, and usually pretty good drinkers as well, losing their commanding dignity and turning kittenish. Of course, they're quite aware they're darling -- Leos will be Leos, after all. They generally know their limit, probably because they loathe losing self-control. When they get over-refreshed, expect flirting to ensue -- and perhaps not with the one what brung them. But Leo's not the type to break rules even when drunk, so just try to ignore it (try harder, Cancer) and expect a sheepish Lion to make it up to you the next day.Trademark cocktailsLeos like flashy drinks, be they complicated tropical concoctions festooned with umbrellas, like a Bahama mama or the more common strawberry daiquiri or mai tai. Indeed, they often have a taste for the fruity -- try a screwdriver, or add an extra cherry to the next Manhattan. Their sense of drama lends itself to a kir royale, of course.
Drinking buddies...Ben Affleck, Gillian Anderson, Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Debra Messing, Kevin Spacey, Martha Stewart, Andy Warhol

VIRGO

Drinking style Cerebral Virgos are compelled to impose order onto their bender. Their famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure -- but it could also lead to drinking booze neat, to sucking down organic wine or just to brand loyalty. They rarely get fully shellacked -- but, oh, when they do! Virgo's controlled by the intellect, but there's an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare, "I'm going to drink myself into a low level of intelligence tonight." A toast to the subgenius IQ!Trademark cocktailsMany Virgos prefer clear, simple, untreacly drinks like vodka tonic or a real margarita, though you'll find 'em drinking anything from unflinchingly downing Cuervo straight to smirkingly ordering a dirty virgin. They also tend to like bitter, low-alk guzzles like Campari and soda. They rarely change their drink once they've found it, however.Drinking buddiesCameron Diaz, Hugh Grant, Christopher Isherwood, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, Carrie-Anne Moss, Dorothy Parker, Ryan Philippe, Keanu Reeves, Lily Tomlin

LIBRA

Drinking style"I'm jusht a social drinker," slurs Libra, "it's jusht that I'm damn social?" Libra loves nothing more than to party, mingle and relate to everyone. Whether dipped in favor of Good Libra (with Insta-Friend device set to "on") or heavier on the Evil Libra side (they are little instigators when bored), the Scales can really work a room. Charming as they are, Libras are notoriously lacking in self-control, however, which can get them into all sorts of trouble -- including wearing their wobbly boots waaaay too early in the evening, flirting with their best friend's beau or even blacking out the night's events entirely. Oops!Trademark cocktailsAesthetic Libras like pretty, pouffy drinks like a pink lady or a brandy Alexander. That's the influence of Venus, their ruling planet, which also gives them a horror of crudely named potions like Sex on the Beach. They're fine with "normal" guzzles like apple martinis, but every Libra secretly just wants Champagne, and lots of it.

SCORPIO

Drinking styleDon't ever tell Scorpios they've had enough, for they'll smirk at you and quietly but intentionally keep tippling till they're hog-whimpering drunk, out of 100-proof spite. Scorpios like to drink, and screw you if you have a problem with that. Most of them see the sauce as something to savor in itself, and not as a personality-altering tool -- though if depressed, self-loathing Scorps seek total obliteration. But generally, they're fascinating drinking pals, brilliant conversationalists and dizzying flirts. They also remember everything -- especially what you did when you were blitzed. Only drink with a Scorpio who likes you.Trademark cocktailsJust as a Scorpio can look you in the eye and smile while secretly plotting your demise, so does the brandy-laced stinger's sweet taste hide a potent amount of alcohol. If you want to get literal, serve them a scorpion -- they may not love tropical drinks, but it shows you're paying attention. Scorpio rules watermelon, so break out the blender and fix a pitcher of watermelon margaritas to seduce 'em -- though red wine will do the trick just as well.

AGITTARIUS


Drinking styleIn vino veritas -- and, for Sagittarius, in booze blurtiness: when buttered, they'll spill all your secrets and many of their own. Tactlessness aside, Sagittarius is just plain fun to drink with. This is a sign of serious partying (what else would you expect from the sign of Sinatra, Keith Richards, the Bush twins and Anna Nicole Smith?). They're the people who chat up everyone in the room, then persuade the entire crowd to travel somewhere else -- like a nightclub, or a playground, or Cancun. Good-natured hijinks are sure to ensue (including a high possibility of loopy groping; spontaneous Sag is a brilliant booty call).Trademark cocktailsA travel-loving sign, Sagittarius might be intrigued by drinks like Moscow mules, Singapore slings -- perhaps even a Long Island iced tea (not a bad option, given how much Sag can put away and still stay vertical). Party monsters that they are, they're attracted to shots, like the ever-popular lemon drop. Sag rules pears, and could use a nice pear cider right about now, come to think of it.
Drinking buddies...The Bush twins, Margaret Cho, Noel Coward, Betty Ford, Lucy Liu, Brad Pitt, Keith Richards, Frank Sinatra, Anna Nicole Smith, Britney Spears

CAPRICORN

Drinking style...Capricorn is usually described as practical, steadfast, money-hungry and status-thirsty -- no wonder they get left off the astrological cocktail-party list. But this is the sign of David Bowie and Annie Lennox, not to mention Elvis. Capricorn is the true rock star: independent, powerful and seriously charismatic, not too eager to please. And if they make money being themselves, who are you to quibble? But just like most rock stars, they're either totally on or totally off, and they generally need a little social lubricant to loosen up and enjoy the after party, especially if they can hook up with a cute groupie.Trademark cocktailsOld-fashioned Cap would probably like an old-fashioned just fine or a dry martini, or a gin and tonic, or a gimlet -- or any other no-nonsense quaff. They prefer drinks that taste like alcohol and generally hate drinks with more than three ingredients. However, they like the flavor of cranberry and will order a cosmo if they can handle the wait for it to get mixed.
Drinking buddies...Orlando Bloom, David Bowie, James Dean, Marlene Dietrich, Martin Luther King Jr., Jude Law, Annie Lennox, Marilyn Manson, Richard Nixon, Elvis Presley

AQUARIUS
Drinking style...Aquarius and drinking don't go together that well (except for water, that is). They have an innate tendency toward know-it-allism, and if they get an idea while sizzled, they're more stubborn than a stain or a stone. If they're throwing a party or organizing an outing, however, they're too preoccupied with their duties to get combative -- and they make perfectly charming drunks in that case. Fortunately, they're usually capital drink-nursers. They also make the best designated drivers (if you can get them before they start raising their wrist): Aquarius is fascinated by drunk people and capable of holding interesting conversations with soused strangers while sober.Trademark cocktailsAquarius is likely to order stuff most people have never heard of: a capirinha, Satan's whiskers, a negroni, an Arthur Tompkins. They like to stump the bartender. This sign rules the color electric blue and would be pleased by any tipple featuring blue curacao. They also rule the olive tree, so pour the juice into that dirty martini.Drinking buddiesJennifer Aniston, Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Dre, Matt Groening, Ashton Kutcher, Ronald Reagan, Christina Ricci, Justin Timberlake, Oprah Winfrey, Elijah Wood


PISCES


Drinking style...If you're a Pisces, you've probably already heard that you share a sign -- and an addictive personality -- with Liz Taylor, Liza Minelli and Kurt Cobain. Not only do Pisces like to lose themselves in the dreamy, out-there feeling that only hooch can give, but they build up a mighty tolerance fast. Who needs an expensive date like that? On the other hand, they're fabulously enchanting partners, whether in conversation or in crime. With the right Pisces, you can start out sharing a pitcher of margaritas and wind up in bed together for days. The phrase "addictive personality" can be read two ways, you know.Trademark CocktailsPisces rules fresh mint, and they do love a mojito or three -- though a julep will do just as well. They also like punches, like sangria or the oh-so-aptly named fish house punch. (Pretty much anything will satisfy a Pisces in a pinch, though -- "drinking like a fish" is an idiom pulled out of the zodiac, not the deep blue sea.) Pisces is a chocoholic and loves creme de cacao (and spiked cocoa).

Sales of 123,000 units were fueled in part by the single "Evolution," which is No. 6 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. The group's top tier streak dates back to 1996, when "Life Is Peachy" debuted at No. 3.The "NOW 25" hits compilation falls to No. 3 after a two week reign at No. 1, moving 123,000 with a 17% sales slide.

Just when you thought coonery was no longer in VH1 announces casting for "Flava of Love 3"...




Just when you thought the coonery was at an end, and found yourself not watching VH1 anymore due to that awful "Rock of Love" messiness, the casting process for "Flava of Love 3" is announced. I am for one am excited casue I love those wild ass girls that have been finding fame on the "Flava of Love" series, and I would like to see a new group lose all self respect on national television.

"There is to be no masturbation in prison?"- Nigga Puleeze!!!




Are these people serious? This is exactly the reason I have decided to stop paying taxes cause they are just wasting my money on foolishness. This is the craziest joint I heard all week...These people in power, and there dumb ass rules need to be called out for wasting time and energy on foolishness.

Updated: A Florida inmate convicted this week of masturbating while alone in his jail cell is reportedly only one of eight targets—along with state taxpayers—of what a Miami Herald columnist describes as "a spectacular case of selective prosecution."Given the likely prevalence of such commonplace behavior in state prisons (not to mention boarding schools, seminaries and military barracks), criminally charging any Broward County inmate with masturbation represents a major waste of prosecution dollars, writes Fred Grimm in the Miami Herald ("Justice went blind in this jailhouse case").However, in addition to the 20-year-old inmate convicted this week, three other inmates charged in similar cases have accepted pleas and three still await trial (one case was dismissed). All were charged by the same female deputy, according to the Sun-Sentinel.Grimm also questions whether the cure is worse than the disease. Prospective jurors were publicly questioned about their own masturbation habits, as noted in an earlier ABAJournal.com post, before Terry Lee Alexander—who was already facing a 10-year robbery sentence—was convicted of indecent exposure Tuesday and sentenced to 60 days, as reported by the Herald.Plus, during Alexander's trial, prosecutor Cynthia Lauriston and the female deputy who complained, after observing him on a monitor as he was alone in his cell, "managed to describe Alexander's offense in startling detail, eight times, once with Lauriston approximating the action with arm motions," Grimm notes.''It was very vulgar. Very indecent,'' the deputy testified, describing the new crime of which Alexander has now been convicted, the column concludes. "But she could have been characterizing the prosecution, the trial, the verdict and the obscene, indecent, vulgar, lascivious, downright stupid waste of time and money."

The truth lasso has finally been wrapped around the music industry...Internet overpowers radio on the billboard charts...


Oh hell fucking yeah...Radio DJ's watch out. Now artist aren't going to be paying you for spins...They are going to be paying friends to downlad thousands of singles from itunes. One digital download counts for 1000 listener points on the Billboard charts...Also streams from Yahoo, MSN, and Aol carry weight as well.


The internet has took the for front in the music industry based on the powerful presence of the download. make that money apple...And radio DJs, sell them expensive homes, and get you an apartment cause you about to see a pay cut in your payola monies...LMAO

Here's the full story...Starting next issue, The Billboard Hot 100 takes another step into the 21st century, as, for the first time, streamed and on-demand music becomes part of the chart's formula.For more than a year, Billboard's charts department has worked with Nielsen BDS to add weekly data from Yahoo and AOL to Billboard's franchise chart.We are eager to add streaming and on-demand data from other services too, but at present, AOL and Yahoo are the only ones that provide weekly, rather than monthly, data to BDS. As it is, that limitation still allows us to start with the two largest providers in the field.This additional data will not affect the chart as much as the Hot 100 revamp of February 2005, when digital songs that Nielsen SoundScan tracks were added to the formula. Initially, we expect those plays to account for about 5% of the chart's total points.Think of that portion as equaling the listenership of several large-audience radio stations. Like digital track purchases, the on-demand data included in this piece offers a more active voice for the consumer, albeit without the commitment signaled by the purchase of a download.Meanwhile, this first recalibration since digital sales moved into the chart two years ago makes an adjustment to account for the vigorous growth that digital distribution has experienced in that span.SoundScan placed the number of digital tracks sold in 2005 at 352.6 million, almost triple the prior year's volume. Track sales grew by 65%, to 582 million, in 2006. Year to date in 2007, digital song downloads stand at 462.1 million through the year's first 29 weeks, up 48% over the same period last year.Consequently, the growth of that sector shifted the balance of radio audience points to sales from the chart's traditional 60-40 ratio to a sales tilt of as much as 70% in recent weeks.To ensure chart continuity and minimize odd fluctuations, Billboard usually gave a slight edge to radio points in the Nielsen Music era, because sales volume can hit peaks and valleys from week to week, while radio audience points remain constant through most weeks of a year.Prior to the inclusion of digital sales, the early years of this decade saw the Hot 100 lean heavily toward radio points, as labels released fewer and fewer retail-available singles.Starting next week, Billboard will divide a song's digital track and retail single sales by 10 on the Hot 100 rather than five (and by four on the Pop 100 rather than two). Even with that adjustment, one digital sale on the Hot 100 will carry the weight of 1,000 radio listeners.The total BDS-posted audience for each song will still be divided by 10,000, as is the case in the current formula.The grand total of AOL and Yahoo streaming/on-demand data posted by BDS Encore will be divided by 500. In most weeks, this formula will yield a chart that derives 55% of its points from radio audience, 40% from digital sales, 5% from streaming/on-demand media and less than 1% from retail single sales.Finally, the chart's radio panel has been expanded to include all currents-based commercial U.S. stations that BDS monitors, regardless of whether those stations qualify for a Billboard or Radio & Records format panel. For example, stations removed from Hot Country Songs' consideration when that chart's criteria was revised last fall will now have a voice on the Hot 100.That will increase the Hot 100's station count by nearly 250 stations.-- Billboard associate director of charts Silvio Pietroluongo orchestrated the Hot 100's new formula.

(CBS) NEW YORK Servicemen and women who made huge sacrifices fighting in the war and now paying yet another price, even after coming home.One soldier in particular is currently battling against a new "debt of service."Brian Rodriguez is a fighter, an honorably discharged soldier who'd been deployed in Iraq."I was a combat engineer," Rodriguez said. "We deal with land mines, explosives."He fought for his nation, only to return to his homeland and wage a fresh battle.Former Army Specialist Rodriguez started getting bills for $700 for lost or damaged government property this summer. Although he was discharged some four years ago, bills recently arrived demanding payment, but giving no details on what or why -- nor do they offer a way to dispute the charges."For doing my job you're going to bill me?" Rodriguez said.And he's not alone. A 2006 government report found more than 1,000 soldiers being billed a total of $1.5 million. And while fighting overseas put their lives on the line, this battle on paper could cost them their future by ruining their credit. Rodriguez will be reported to credit agencies next month.Digg This Story!"It makes a terrible point about the nature of military service today," citizen soldier Tod Ensign said.Ensign is a veteran's advocate. He says this is all part of the military’s push to be run more like a business."They'll just pound him and call him, call his employers, and make his life as miserable as they can until he pays up," Ensign said.Testimony before Congress detailed in a report found that "although unit commanders and finance offices are authorized to write off debts for lost and damaged equipment ... they have not always done so.""It happens too often and it's just disgraceful," Sen. Charles Schumer said. "Here are people who are risking their lives for us and they come home and they're being treated as if they're criminals instead of heroes."Because it's been four years since he left the Middle East, Rodriguez's battalion was dissolved and his commanders are long gone. And despite repeated requests, the Army never could tell us what piece of equipment Rodriguez was billed for, nor would they get rid of the debt. "I did my time, I served my country and this is the thanks I get," Rodriguez said.Their suggestion? Call your Congressman. Schumer said he'll reach out to the Army to intervene on Brian's behalf.
