What is the world coming to…now folks will be afraid to ask for a raise:

Police say a business owner who was having financial problems shot and killed two of his employees after they asked him for a raise. Read the article here.

Hurray for Faith. Looks like an overzealous fan went a little too far groping on Faith Hill’s husband, singer Tim McGraw while they were in Louisiana.

Hill singled out the offender, saying: “Someone needs to teach you some class, my friend. You don’t go grabbing someone else’s husband’s (private parts). You understand me? That’s very disrespectful.” (Click here for TMZ.com video.)

Sometimes folks can go a little too doggone far. She’s lucky, she didn’t get popped.

A 7-year-old Florida boy accidentally swallowed his “grill — a decorative mental mouthpiece popular in the hip-hop culture, it was reported Saturday.   READ

Just in case you don’t know what a grill is, here’s an example:

This is the “Cotton Candy” grill for ladies (the top grill to be exact):  courtesy of Grills by Paul Wall http://www.grillsbypaulwall.com

Today has really been an unproductive day since I had the kids and couldn’t concentrate on writing, I decided to just do nothing on the net…and that nothing led me to various sites that I usually visit late at night if I’m not too tired or if I’m on a conference call and need something to entertain me while listening to a boring lecture.

Anyway, I said all of that to say, when I went to YB & F website and saw this entry, all I could say was WTF and I don’t curse.

Apparently Paris and Nicole decided to put on the “blackface” like you being Black is something you can put on and take off.

Is this 2007? Am I seeing things? What were the producers of The Simple Life thinking about??? Below are the pics:

Nicole…what is your daddy thinking? This has gone too far. Hmm…and I wonder why I heard it was cancelled!

 Man goes into a cocktail lounge and approaches Maxine sitting by herself :
Man: “May I buy you a cocktail?”
Maxine: “No thank you, alcohol is bad for my legs.”
Man: “Sorry to hear that. Do they swell?”
Maxine: “No, they spread ..”

The Daily News   reports that Usher and Ms. Tameka Foster wedding was put on hold this past weekend.

“It was announced today that the wedding ceremony for Usher Raymond 4th and Tameka Foster was canceled,” publicist Patti Webster said in a statement.

I was really going to refrain from talking about what everybody else was talking about today, but there’s no way around it (well it is, but I choose to have my say, since it is my blog…hee hee).

I always thought Usher and Chilli (of TLC) made a cute couple and call me a romantic; but I hoped that when Usher was finally ready to settle down he would be doing it with Chilli.

Don’t get me wrong, I have no issues with an older woman dating a younger man, because I do it; but Tameka seemed to have been taking advantage of Usher. I don’t condone using anybody. I know folks are like, Usher’s a grown man; but yet in still, Tameka just seemed like a golddigger.

Who knows they might elope? But I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again; he shouldn’t marry her just because she’s pregnant. She has several kids, she knows about birth control and she knows that a child with a superstar means MO (not more) money in her pocket!

If I could send a personal message to you know who, it would be:   Usher, Do Not Wed!

In a Louisiana store, the ATM machine  gave away $20  for every $5 patrons requested when using the ATM machine. Apparently this occurred for days before the store personnel figured it out. They are now asking folks who got the “extra” money to return it.

If you went to an ATM machine and it gave you more money than you asked for, would you tell someone and/or give it back to the bank or store or would you take your happy self to the nearest store and shop?
