Fleet week announcement

Eva LongoriaMaxim Top 100 List is out again.  The party was celebrated at the BUDDA BAR, in NYC.   Stars like Christina Milan, Eva Longoria, Ice Tea were there with many admirers to celebrate.  Christina started off the Celebrations right and she was amazing.  It was a night to remember if one went to a magazine party one would know it was wall to wall.  Christina took the no. 10 spot, Eva Longoria tops the list and graces the cover. 

The Latin People En Espanol Los 50 Mas Bellos party last night brought out the hot Latin stars.  Who were being asked for what they look for in women and how hard it is to approach them.  Most said it was hard to approach women, with some saying it was easier for women to approach them.  Ladies, please give the men a break and once in a while give a hint, never mind just grab a man and tell hi.  He can do the rest..lol

Beanie Seagal is recovering, resting comfortably after being shot in the arm on Thursday in anBeanie Sigel attempted robbery at 8pm in Philly.  Beanie was stopped at a intersection when 5 individual's approached his vehicle and started opening fire.  Beanie was shot in the right arm but was able to drive herself to the hospital.  Philadelphian rapper Beanie Sigel had a rapidly rising career, beginning with his appearance on one of underground rapper/producer DJ Clue's mix tapes, to his cameos on Jay-Z's Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life, to a consequent solo deal with Roc-A-Fella Records. His distinctive, slightly drawling delivery and his clever but hard-hitting rhymes were showcased on his debut album, 2000's The Truth, which featured contributions from Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek, Eve, and Scarface, and production by the Ruff Ryders' Swizz Beatz and Suave House's Tony Draper. His second album, The Reason, hit the streets in summer 2001, led by the single "Beanie (Mack B****)." Last year Beanie Sigel was released from the federal prison he was staying at while serving a 1 year sentence for a gun charge. In September of the same year, he was also acquitted of attempted murder.  We wish her well getting on his feet.

Elton John is having his own woes recently.  The rock star was set to produce a comedy pilot called "her and Us about a aging gay Rock Star (Not far from the truth).  Mig Jagger was set to do Cameo's but it was dropped by the powers that be.  Sorry old Chap, try try again.  Anyone who knows this man knows he will go on. 

Taylor from American IdolIdol Mania has a new winner who should have listened to Walt and got rid of the gray.  Just for men is not just a choice my freind when in the public light.  Not to make light of his accomplishments.  The man is 29 and looks older than my dad(69).  But Taylor Hicks is the new man with the plan and does it well. Prince, Meatloaf, Mary J Blidge and Clay Aiken took the stage and rocked the house in the finale.  Birmingham's Taylor Hicks is a singer/songwriter with a soulful sound. He was featured on WBHM's Tapestry.

When I move you move, just like that..  Well the  NY now Courtroom calls.. Ludacris (ChrisLudacris leaving court Bridges), he takes the stand to defend his song "Stand Up".    A NJ group said that he ripped off the lyrics from their song " Straight like that".  Kanye West who co-wrote says that he has been using the saying for many years.   Luda said he worked on his song without hearing the other song so there it is folks.  I know Luda, he is a straight up man, also said he never received copies of a disk containing the song "Straight Like That" by the East Orange, N.J., group I.O.F. The group is suing her in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

 Mimi is set to go back on the road again, she is set to do touring dates including NY's Madison square garden (Aug 23-Tickets available June.  Sean Paul will be with her for a portion of the tour.  First time in three years doing a tour.   Adventures of Mimi"  will have new and old hits and purely will rock the house.

Hot 97 - While This May Not Seem to Go Away.  Hot 97 Is in Trouble Again!  The cops in New York are not letting the station alone.  With this viewpoint let's check out.  Why oh why is this happening?  The non reasoning owners are at the head again. But this time it concerns other stations as well.  At least they got rid of Star and Buckwild earlier...

LONDON (Reuters) - Former Beatle Paul McCartney and his second wife Heather Mills are to separatePaul McCartney after four years of marriage, the couple confirmed in a statement on Wednesday, blaming media intrusion into their private life. McCartney, who is 63, and former model Mills, 38, who married in a lavish wedding ceremony in Ireland in June 2002, said the constant attention had made "it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship."  He did not have a prenuptial agreement so good luck Paul.

Pussycat DollsThe PussyCat Dolls Dolls idea was shelved.  The Scantily clad girls who can sing like the wanna, got the dish.  I know my nieces will be disappointed.  The Pussycat Dolls, recognized as "LA's hottest cabaret ticket of the year" by People.  Hasbro thought that the dolls would be inappropriate for their audience, citing they are for a more mature audience.  But I say kids love them more so leave them be and make the kids happy, just dress them more.

Star and BuckwildStar (Troy Terain) from Power 105's Star and Buckwild Show has been fired over allegations that he threatened Dj Envy's family on-air. This was not the first time, the Dj has gotten into trouble, but as usual, his mouth has got an image of trouble again. Clear Channel, has decided to wash their hands on Star and his antics after Star, made specific comments against DJ Envy and his family. Even though he has made a public apology, it is too late to un-ring the bell. The family is asking that the DA seek hate crime charges against Star. This all came from threats he made against, DJ envy's four-year-old daughter (to rape her) on air. Star issued a statement saying that his comments were inappropriate. Jia Casey(DJ envy's wife) joined the city officials in calling for the DJ's arrest. She stated, then he threatened molestation of her minor child, he asked the public to know the whereabouts of his child and the wife and she is hopping mad. She claimed that the family was worried sick of the threat. Three other staff members were fired from the show because of what happened. Who do not see this coming?

Over the hedge charactersAvril Levine is great as a animated character in Over the Hedge.  She said it was a an experience and at least she did her part alone.  She is coming out in movies soon and she is working on third album.  "Skin" has been selling out and boy bashing might be out of this particular album coming up.  She loves going to Venice beach and she is one of Peoples hottest.  For guys out there she loves Lavender.  "Over the Hedge comes out soon in a theatre near you. 

Daniel RoumainThe Amazing Hip Hop Violinist who blends Hip Hop and Classic Music.  What he chooses to play is music that would probably drive classical purists up a tree. But when asked whether Mozart would like what he plays, Daniel replies, "We'd be jammin'. I think the future of classical music is happening right now."  At a concert in San Francisco featuring the Del Sol string quartet — Daniel's on violin, of course — and a hip-hop artist named DJ Scientific, the crowd ranged from zero-something to seventy-something, and represented just about every color in the light show.  If this were the Sesame Street "one of these things doesn't belong" song, wouldn't DJ Scientific would be the one who doesn't belong. Not according to Daniel. "No, this is 2006," he says. "A string quartet and a DJ? I say absolutely, yes."  Like it or not. classical music hasn't gone through this kind of renaissance since, well, the Renaissance. Although some purists take issue, Daniel says that, by and large, most classical fans are surprisingly hip to his hip-hop. Says one female fan: "You can't ignore the stimulation, and your heart is just beating in time to this music."  At first glance, it's hard to see how this mixture works — classical and hip-hop aren't exactly bosom buddies. But somehow Daniel makes this musical odd couple get along — and maybe even hit it off.

Courtney Love showing offApart from her unannounced appearance at the annual Women's Night benefit for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, singer Courtney Love apparently had more surprises to give to a house full of lesbians and their supporters. The fans at the Music Box Theater on Saturday were shocked gasps when an apparently sober Love showed up unannounced and played a set with Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan.  And they were further 'shocked' when the former 'Hole' singer revealed what was under her dress. "She pulled a Paris Hilton," and flashed her genitals at a concert
