I Will Survive....

A US Airways plane went down in the NY Hudson River yesterday! Luckily no one died as a result of the crash and each passenger including the crew made it to safety. The Huffington Post gives the details:

A US Airways flight crashed into the Hudson just after 3 pm. The FAA reports everyone, including one baby, is off safely. There are no life threatening injuries. There is a flight attendant with an arm fracture and a few cases of hypothermia.

Just after 3:30 pm Thursday live coverage began of the plane downed in the river, with people standing on the wings. Flight 1549, an A320, took off from Laguardia on it’s way to Charlotte at 3:26 pm. Read witness accounts here. The pilot reportedly flew over the George Washington Bridge at just 900 feet. It was in the air for about 7 minutes before hitting the river near the 50s, just off midtown.

Wow talk about things to be grateful for...

Brand New: Next Day Air movie trailer

Mike Epps, Mos Def, Donald Faison and a host of others are in this new comedy directed by Benny Boom that is expected to hit theatres in May of 09! Check out a synopsis of the film via IMDB:

When a UPS driver delivers a package containing bricks of cocaine to the wrong address, it sets into motion a battle of wills and wits between the dealer, the intended recipients, and the people who have the drugs and plan to sell them off.

Hmmm... this could be a good sneak into flick where you actually see it off of paying for another movie that was worth your $10 movie ticket! In any event I'm glad to see blacks actors and actresses getting a check so those who can please support!

Knocked Up Swag... The Kelis Edition!

According to US Magazine Nas and Kelis are expecting their first child! Read below:

A source tells the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands now, that singer Kelis, 29, and her husband, rapper Nas, 35, are expecting their first child together.

“It’s all they are talking about. She is carrying hip-hop royalty!” says the insider, who adds Kelis — currently in her first trimester — already has a little bump. “They are so excited.”

A rep for the singer had no comment.

Little bump my ass that could just be gas! I need to at least see a massive budge before I believe this foolery! And even if she is whose to say it Nas'? Wasn't she rumored to be dipping out on him like yesterday...

Real Housewives Reject Deshawn Talks about getting the Boot...

With the Real Housewives of Atlanta set to comeback for a second season, its going to be filled with more cat fights and drama than before! This time more so, because the network hasn't asked Deshawn Snow to come back for the second season! Instead I hear the network has been in talks with Tameeka Foster (No I will not tag Raymond on the end of that I'm still in denial over that marriage) to join the cast. In a recent interview with Essence Deshawn had this to say about the decision:

[One of the producers] called and said that I was “too human for a circus show” and that because the show did so well, they are about to pump up the drama and they didn’t think that I would fit in. He gave me an example, saying that during the reunion when I found out what a few of the other ladies said about me, they were expecting me to say more, but I’m not the type to go “television” and start acting crazy because somebody’s talking about me. I’m fine with the decision. It wasn’t my decision. They let me go and there are no hard feelings.

To All My Haters....She's Back.....

Be sure to check out the footage which will be posted soon! Congrats Wendy!

Another Day Another Reality Show... Ray J Edition

Ray J has joined the reality show bandwagon with a new show titled For the Love of Ray J which will premiere on VH1 Feb 2nd. Upon researching this bull sh*t of programing I came to the conclusion that its simply an upgrade of Flavor of Love where Ray J replaces ghetto names such as Nipplez and Buckwild with finer, bigger words such as Caviar,Cashmere,Unique and others which actually cause for someone over at VH1 to pick up a dictionary! I hear the show is full of great moments and of course DRAMA! Ray J must be on some type of come up because I also hear him and Brandy are in the studio working on a collabo album titled R&B aww how cute!

MJB Celebrates her 38th Birthday...

The NY Post is reporting that Mary J Blige had a mini B-Day bash to bring in her 38th birthday! Read the juice below:

MARY J. Blige got quite the shock on her 38th birthday. The singer’s manager and husband, Kendu Isaacs, invited Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Russell Simmons, Busta Rhymes and embattled Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury to toast Blige at an intimate surprise party at Mr. West Lounge on Saturday night. The 70 guests drank champagne and vodka and ate a cake so large that it had to be carried out by two people..

Glad to see Kendu is good for something other than hanging on to MJ's coat tail like a yes man!

WTF J Hud? I would rather see her rip the stage at the Inauguration on next Tues but... Word on the street is J Hud will be performing at the Superbowl this year! Read the details below via OK Mag:

DeShawn Gets The Boot From Housewives of ATL

In the latest "Real Housewives of Atlanta" scoop DeShawn Snow has been booted from the show and will not be returning next season. In fact, Bravo has been in talks with Tameka Foster, wife of R&B singer Usher, plus basketball player Julius “Dr. J” Ervings's wife, Dorys, and radio personality Frank Ski's wife, Tanya to join the cast. Sherre Whitfield, Kim Zolciak, Lisa Wu Hartell and Nene Leakes will return next season. Plus, Nene is already working on a spinoff series with Bravo.
In other related news Sheree Whitfield will not be debuting her fashion line at NYC's Fashion Week next month. Plus, she recently discussed the appeal to her divorce settlement with former New York Giant Bob Whitfield stating:
"I dropped the appeal because somebody wasn’t doing what they were suppose to do and pretty much squandered the money. People don’t know the story and I really haven’t spoken on it. You will read in the paper I haven’t received child-support in 15 months. It’s actually 17 months. Hopefully all will prevail and what’s done in the dark will come to the light. It’s officially over and it feels good to have it on paper and definitely gives you and lot of other people peace of mind."
