Eminem Accused Of Lip Synching At Concert

13 Jul, 2010

0_62_040807_eminem Detroit bred and shady emcee Eminem is being accused by fans of being…well, shady.

According to published reports, fans in Scotland who attended the T In the Park Festival feel Eminem cheated the concert goers by allegedly lip synching his entire performance.
Eminem, who was already accused of being a bit demanding after allegedly refusing to walk 40 feet to the stage for his headlining performance at T In the Park yesterday after allegedly being concerned that he would get mud on his shoes, apparently ruffled fans feathers who waited five years for the performance.

According fans on Gigwise.com, Eminem's Milli Vanilli performance was not only staged, but also lack luster. One fan wrote:
““He mimed at a supposed live festival and he dint even know he was in Balado - he seemed to think he was in Edinburgh.”
Not all fans felt that the performance was terrible; some fans came to Em's defense stating that the performance was “classic.”
Enough of what others think, check out the video and let us know if you think it was live or was he indeed lip synching

Mel Gibson What To Make Of Him

12 Jul, 2010

A second purported audiotape has emerged in which Mel Gibson heaps disgusting verbal abuse and threats on the ex-girlfriend who is the mother of his baby daughter. You're on your own if you want to find the tape and eavesdrop; I'll skip it, thanks. Instead, I'm here to wrestle with how what we know about an artist's character and personal life influences our appreciation for that artist's work. And whether it should. (I'm leaving the private lives of politicians and others who work in the public trust out of this conversation.) The truth is, I wish I didn't know anything at all about Mel Gibson. Nothing. Lucky for me, the man has no effect on my daily existence, and I make no dent in his. I'm curious about Gibson only insofar as he is an interesting actor and filmmaker (“interesting” — how's that for a deliberately neutral term?) whose projects suggest a complicated, angry interior that, in turn, makes his projects so…interesting. (I assume you enjoy dabbling in cheap, dime-store psychoanalysis as part of your movie going enjoyment as much as I do.) The public Mel Gibson's movies tell me plenty.

In a piece on her website The Daily Beast, Tina Brown declares that ours is a “culture of destructive transparency.” Then she applauds the release of those tapes, arguing that listening in provides a kind of vindication on behalf of “every frightened woman…living in fear of a man who has all the financial cards.” My question: How? Do you really benefit from knowing that, if this leaked evidence is to be believed, the private Mel Gibson is a racist, a bigot, a misogynist, a person unraveling in hate? His sins (to put his actions in terms that he, a religious man, would understand) certainly matter to his unfortunate ex-girlfriend, to anyone he has insulted in person, and to his God.

But to put the matter in terms the godless marketplace understands, will what you know affect whether you buy a ticket to Mel Gibson's next movie? Will you boycott his work? (I won't.) Or will you be even more curious to see what he does next? His talent agency just announced that he has been dropped as a client. But he is a very rich man, with money enough to finance his own productions. What should our public response be to Mel Gibson's private bad behavior?

OCHOCINCO: THE ULTIMATE CATCH

13 Jul, 2010

Ochocinco may be the zillinth person to attempt finding love on “reality” TV. In last night’s inaugural episode of The Ultimate Catch, the football star held tryouts for the women who would compete for his affection. It started out with 85 skanks women spread out on a football field (at the Rose Bowl) doing stretches led by B-Twice, while Ochocinco walked around randomly telling women they were cut (probably because they were either not cute or weren’t flexible enough) until he narrowed down his selection to 17 finalists. There was a rumor last month that Ochocinco didn’t want Black women on the cast but that probably isn’t true. There weren’t many sisters, but Ochocinco did implement some affirmative action by adding at least two…out of the 17 women chosen, who were mostly Latin (no Slim Thug).
The most unique thing about the show is that the women are competing in a tournament style game. There’s an actual bracket detailing who's up against whom and details Ochocinco’s favorite women by number rank. Other than that, everything else was typical. Ochocinco invited his boys, B-Twice and TO, to help him check the ladies out, and there was one woman classy enough to turn down TO’s phone phone number request because “cameras were everywhere.” Despite her shadiness, she wasn’t sent home because Ochochinco thought she was hot (it’s all good until someone smashes the homie). The woman who actually was sent home wasn’t really memorable, especially since Ochocinco didn’t give the women stripper nicknames but other than that, it looks like this season is going to be a doozy, with enough cat fighting to last us for the rest of the year. Guess what? We can all thank Flavor Flav for this trend but these shows wouldn’t exist if people didn’t watch.

LeBron James And Savannah Brinson

13 Jul, 2010

lebron-james-and-savannah Lebron James has signed with the Miami Heat which probably means he’s on the road to his first ring but what does that mean for Savannah Brinson…
Is Lebron Gonna Put A Ring On It???

LaLa Vasquez and Carmelo Anthony had been engaged since 2004 and FINALLY finalized their union this past weekend. Royce Reed on the other hand spread ‘em wide and got herself a nice little gag order.Lebron and Savannah have been together since high school and now damn near 10 years later and 2 babies in… STILL NO RING!!!
What do you think is going to happen??? Remember when Shaq and Shaunie moved to Miami, look where they are now and they were married. Just imagine what could happen and these two are still just BOYFRIEND & GIRLFRIEND with babies together!!!

Savannah’s been with Lebron for a minute so we say… LEBRON SHOULD PUT A RING ON IT!!!
