The GIANT Prince-A-Palooza

Prince

I have a confession to make. I was at the dental office this morning. While waiting for the clerical staff to print up an estimate of the thousands of dollars I’m gonna have to cough up to get my sons teeth repaired and re-aligned, I spotted a bomb issue of GIANT MAGAZINE featuring a 12 page spread on all things related to your royal badness, Prince.

I know it aint right, but I stole the magazine. Hell, I have to save all of my dividends for the doctor and his gold watch collection…

Prince, he cracks me up (in a good way). The brother is fierce.

Quote of the Day . . .

I found the following comment left here in regards to yet another celebrity “tell-all” book. This time around HOT 97’s Miss Jones has poured all of her nastiness and snarky commentary into publication . I won’t be contributing to the sales. Enough is enough. Us youngin’s need to get it together!

As a senior citizen who sat in, marched, and went to jail in the 50’s and 60’s so this generation and all others would have a better life. It pains me that we are acting like desperate crabs instead of kings and queens. If I knew this younger generation would act so scandalous, I would have been more self involved. I gave up a young life, to fight for a better world for my people, only to see it squandered by self hating, self loathing, shallow young people. Get a real grip on life young people, the government is reversing everything we fought for, because your generation isn’t watching or paying attention. - Evelyn Smith

Oooooh Weeee! Let The Drama Unfold . . .

I’se on my way to buy the book this evening, in like 2 seconds. . . We shall re-visit this topic soon.

“Hell hath no fury like a baby mama scorned.

Nas’s ex is raking her acrylics over the rapper and his wife, Kelis, in a new tell-all book, “It’s No Secret.

Carmen Bryan says he beat her, cheated on her, cut her child support, and then invited her for a threesome with the “Milkshake” singer, just before they married.

And you think your boyfriend has lousy foreplay.

Not that the self-described “Hip-hop Helen of Troy” stayed home watching Oprah when her man was away. She found time to entertain Jay-Z and Allen Iverson while dating Nas.

She claims he beat her “with a closed fist” after finding out about one fling. In turn, she “pulled out my pepper spray from my back pocket and sprayed Nas down like he was some rabid pit bull,” when he cheated.

Miz Bryan also claims Kelis doesn’t wear deodorant, Jay-Z scrubs his butt in the shower (doesn’t everyone?), and Nas once turned down a date with Beyonce because, he said, “to be honest, I can’t take her breath.” (source ) *But I initially spotted this gossip candy at the one and only C&D
