Monday, November 5th of 2007:  I just came back from Miami.  I stayed at the French Hotel Sofitel Miami.  It was a nice time and I had fun with my friends there in Miami.  I was there for a wedding, Jellybean Benitez was hot at his event.  The music was off the hook as was all the other Djs at events I peeped at.  Ok let me tell you what happened to me, so that it never happens to you if you go for a wedding aboard a ship. I went to a wedding on the Liberty of the Seas. I have to tell all that want to have a Wedding on a Ship.  A Cruise ship may be nice place to have a wedding, but it is hard on the guests.  There are many things that can go wrong and many delays that can happen.  Oh, and remember if you do, Please, PLEASE bring the SAME ID that you provided the soon to be's-Newlyweds.  I gave both to my cousins for the wedding, they took one and because they did not think it was important, they did not tell me that they only took one.  You see to get past security, which is sufficient and overly done, you must have ID that has been checked ahead of you coming.  The forms of ID that is required is birth certificates for the children with picture ID's (school ID), Drivers-Non Driver IDS, or Passport ID for Adults.  I found out to my dismay, they okayed my expired Passport, which by the way I did not bring.  I left it at the hotel and brought my other ID, my Drivers L. Well, that set off craziness in the process and it took 25 minutes of arguing, and pleading to get the security at the gate, to get security on the boat to come down and okay the few that did the same thing. Several guests had left one ID, since my family sent both ID's, the planner provided to the ship only one of the ID's. They guessed passport, which was a problem for us since most people carry their Drivers ID with them at all times. But in defense of the planner, they had to choose, and it could have been a problem the other way too...  Since family had come from all over the world. The other wedding officials were trying to resolve the problem, since they knew who we all were, but had to ask for the ship to come down to allow us to attend the wedding.  It would have been disastrous for us to have forgotten ID at all.  If you forget ID, forget boarding a ship in the port of Miami.  It is important to have, and go with a planner that makes sure that the group arrives early, has ID with them before they go on the ship.  A lot of the problems could have been avoided if the Planners had been at the hotel, the central place to go to the wedding to make sure all had the same ID.  That way if there was a problem with the ID, it could be dealt with.  There is no dealing with no ID at all.  And if not known, to not carry ID is a offense punishable by law.  So you can be arrested for not having ID if you did not know that in the US. So if you make a scene, and have no ID, you will have some real problems soon if you take it too far. Port Police, may seem like security guards, believe me, believe me, I say: Port Police are Police Officers, not security guards!!!  Florida Police are not Police to play with. Although the Port Security Police are nicer to talk to and are more easier to deal with, but make no mistake.  Police DO NOT PLAY, and will make you REMEMBER THAT FACT. I was good, because of my demeanor and kept my cool.  I was upset, because the ID in my mind was not good, so I used the one that was.  My passport had expired, so I brought the Drivers L.  So it was hard to get a ship official down to the port, but once there, they took my ID.  But it took a long time to wait for the Ship Security official that could ok the ID.  So keep in mind these facts when attending or organizing the event that this is an IMPORTANT part, not something that can be missed, or messed with.  In these days of post 9/11, security is paramount and the port Police are the last ditch effort to protect the seas and passengers on ships.  They take their jobs very strictly.  They enforce the rules with no exceptions. Danger can be anywhere and they were great at that point, I felt safe knowing that they would not let any one close or aboard that did not belong.  It was hard nonetheless, to be on the wrong side of it though.  Having a Ship board wedding is great nonetheless.  The Wedding, once aboard was great, the Dj was horrible, he was not responsive to the people getting married.  My family was horrified at the music selections, but tried to enjoy themselves. The Dj played what he wanted, not what would have made the family feel great about the music.  The family was not Italian, but he played Italian favorites, for a family who had no Italians.  Good thing the family is loving and loved the couple.  But it made for a very uncomfortable feeling with the family.  The family took it in stride, one thing to ask the ship to have is a Dj that you want to have.  Research your Dj, do not go with a ship board Dj that you have not heard.  If you do, explain exactly what you want.  His MC'ing was good, he tried to get the family up, but like I said, his choices were wrong and filled with mistakes.  I grew up as a Dj, it was important to me to find Dj's that can do their jobs.  But some are good in some areas and not good in others. I am a Dj that works and hires Djs for a living.  I scout Djs for Radio and TV, so I always say: Hire a Dj that plays what you want him to play, check to see-hear that he has the music that you like, that your family will enjoy and remember you fondly.  So if you are Indian, that he has and plays Indian music for example.  If the families are mixed, like Indian with Spanish-American-Black-or Whatever that they have the mix of music with the music that you need for your family to be comfortable at your wedding.  He/She should have songs that you, your significant other grew up with, that you love to hear and that your family might like-remember.  The other songs are of no consequence, as long as you have the important music taken care of.

Suoer Erotic Belly Dancer - video powered by Metacafe

Tuesday, Jan. 16. 2007, 2:12pm est: Now This is A Man but was a great movie for the ladies/trannies that want to get into belly dancing. I loved it, if it is a girl, (Not) she hit a truck, but can dance.  Needs a booty, and it is a great viral video from Metacafe.

Monday, Jan. 22, 2007, 19:30 est: Justin Timberlake proved he's got game early Saturday morning when he shot some after-hours hoops with Alyssa Milano and Eva Longoria. After his Friday night concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Timberlake, 25, hit the Jet nightclub with his entourage, where he danced with Milano, 34, and chatted with Longoria, 31. At 4:00 a.m. the whole crew headed to an after-after party at the Palms' Hardwood Suite in the hotel's new 347-room Fantasy Tower. The $25,000-a-night, 10,000-square suite features an indoor basketball court, complete with scoreboard and locker room. (The previous weekend, Timberlake's ex, Britney Spears, stayed at the Fantasy Tower's $40,000-a-night, two-story Hugh Hefner Sky Villa with new beau Isaac Cohen.)

Miss USA Tara Conner checked out of a Pennsylvania rehab facility Sunday and is back in New York City. The Kentucky native, who turned 21 on Dec. 18, had been in rehab since Dec. 21. Conner entered treatment as part of "a second chance" offered to her by Donald Trump, co-owner of the Miss Universe organization, following allegations of hard partying, indiscretions with men and unreliability when it came to showing up at Miss USA-related events.

Isaiah Washington of Grey's Anatomy, who apologized for using a gay slur at the Golden Globes, met Monday with gay and lesbian organization leaders and acknowledged the harm he caused, the groups said in a statement. The ABC network helped arrange the Los Angeles area meeting between Washington and Neil G. Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, and Kevin Jennings, founder of the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network. Isaiah understands that he is going to be judged by more than just his apology, said Giuliano in the statement. He knows that his future actions, including the genuine first step that today s meeting represents, will demonstrate his sincerity in becoming part of the solution to anti-gay bigotry. Sandra Oh is also having problems, her divorce is not going well. Her ex-hubby Director Alexander Payne is asking the court to deny the Grey's Anatomy star any spousal support, which Oh requested when she initially filed for divorce in April 2005. He is thinking about going into Rehab.

Thursday, Jan. 25, 2007, 09:56 est:R&B singer/actress and Mississippi native Brandy caused a Dec. 30, 2006, chain-reaction accident that left a 38-year-old mother dead. According to the reports, the singer, whose name is Brandy Norwood, was driving 65 mph on a Los Angeles 405 freeway when traffic slowed. Her 2007 Land Rover rear-ended a Toyota, which then struck another Toyota. The first Toyota was then hit by an Acura. The singer was not injured. She was not arrested and there was no evidence that drugs or alcohol were involved. The mother, Awatef Aboudihaj, who was in the first Toyota, died the next day. The Authorities are determining who started the accident and what impact Brandy played before considering charges against her or others in the accident.  I do not understand why, it was an accident, and she did not flee, so what is the problem.  A statement released Wednesday by Barnes said Brandy “wishes to publicly express her condolences to the family of the deceased. Brandy asks that you respect the privacy of every one involved at this time.”

February Monday the 19th, of 2007, 16:14 est:  Sirrus and XM Satellite radio rivals announced plans today to merge the companies.  This will be something else when it comes down to the nitty gritty.  We cannot wait to see if it means boost in sales or what is to come but at least you heard it here...
