Nonsense has taken over ...

... all of the major headlines - again.
Britney Spears is once again all over the news because she finally snapped. Does this really come to anyone as a surprise? This is the same chick who shaved her head, is repeatedly caught without drawers on and has battled drugs and alcohol addiction?
According to various media reports, Brit lost her visitation rights after being under the influence of "an unknown substance." In the temporary custody agreement, while she is having visitation with her kids, she is not supposed to be under the influence of anything. Now TMZ is reporting that she has to be treated for severe bi-polar disorder.
Usually, I don't visit the TMZ site, but since they seem to be all Britney all the time, I had to go and grab some research. At any rate, I don't know if I agree with her being bi-polar, but it would explain a lot.
According to http://www.mentalhealth.com/, Bipolar I Disorder is one of the most severe forms of mental illness and characterized by recurring episodes of mania and depression. The site doesn't really give a cause but says that the disorder runs in families, like a lot of mental health issues, like depression and addiction. I will spare you the psychology lesson but I will tell you that some of her behavior falls in line with the Web sites symptoms.
To be completely honest, we can say a lot of things about Kevin Federline but we've never heard about him barricading himself in a room with his children or being escorted to the hospital for a 72-hour hold. She needs some help and I am talking Jesus + Dr. Phil + Oprah + Iyanla Vanzant kinda help.
Maybe her mom should sit down in a one on one session with Whitney Houston's mama. Remember a while back, Mrs. Houston was in church up in New Jersey praying and binding spirits in the name of Jesus? Well apparently it works. Whitney is sober and poised for a comeback.
It looks like to me that the family would leave Dr. Drew Pinsky and Dr. Phil where they are and enlist the help of Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, Benny Hinn and Rod Parsley. It can't hurt to call Paula White too. Shoot, call Farrakhan if it'll help that child, truth be told, she needs all the help she can get. Either way, I hope everything works out for her.

I don't know about you guys ...

... but I am disgusted.
I'm disgusted with what gatekeepers are calling news. I'm disgusted with the MTV Video Music Awards. I'm disgusted with entertainers. I'm just disgusted!
I have been trying to stay off my soap box about the Jena 6 but the gatekeepers won't let me! Since my posting about the Louisiana group of teens on trial for some trumped up charges stemming from a high school fight, I have seen two "stories" on television that resemble coverage.
There was a piece done on CNN's "Out in the Open" and Star Jones Reynolds discussed the case on her show last week with one of the students and his lawyer. While this case can certainly use all the coverage it can get it deserves more than a three-minute summation on CNN and more than a five-minute spot on Jones Reynolds' goulash of a show on Court TV.
Meanwhile, national media outlets are a buzz with talk about Britney Spears' suck-tacular performance at the VMAs and I am still trying to figure out why everybody is so surprised.
We are talking about Britney Spears. Head shaving, rehab dodging, child-endangering Britney Spears who quite frankly CAN NOT sing! She's never been able to sing. Not on this single, the last CD, the one before that one, the one before that or the Mickey Mouse Club.
She's gotten by for so long because she has (bleached) blond hair, big doe eyes and she knows how to play a damsel in distress. And if ever there were a time where that dame was in distress, it is now.
She needs to take a permanent vacation, lay down about 16 bars of her airy vocals, let Pharell and Chad manufacture her a CD, take a couple of "Mommy & Me" classes and take her country behind home somewhere and sit it down!
MTV hyped up her opening of the show for weeks saying "You won't know what to expect!" And they were right. I would have expected her to come out, make out with Madonna again, dangle her baby over the side of the stage or even shock me and have a nice singing voice. But I never expected her to come out, look and sound horrible while lip syncing.
And when will entertainment reporters ever get tired of reporting on Kanye West's temper tantrums? The Louis Vuitton Don is pissed off again because he got snubbed at the VMAs.
According to the Associated Press, Kanye went off, to say the least, in a hallway full of *dadada* the media. The AP quoted him saying, "That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance."
He was beat out last year at the European VMAs and he straight crashed the stage. Now, maybe it's just me, but if you notice, every time he goes on one of his lil' rampages it's around an album release date.
Now we all know that this damn near 30 year old man is a big baby, but nobody is really saying how smart he is. As of late, record companies haven't been spending a lot of money promoting CDs.
So what's the best way to promote new music? Make sure it's constantly in the media. How does he make sure that it is constantly in the media? He does whatever he needs to do to make an ass of himself so that every time he's mentioned, a reporter will say something about his new CD that's scheduled to drop on Sept. 11.
Don't believe me? Then why is it that 50 Cent only has beef with people when it's time for him to drop a CD? The last time, he was talking trash about my shero Oprah and Kanye. Now that he and Kanye are going to drop on the same day, he's beefing with Kanye again!
Look it up! He has to draw attention to himself to sell records. Now for those of you who know me, ya'll know I am not feeling 50 at all. "In the Club" was my joint for about five minutes and that was because of the beat.
I have a hard time liking or respecting anyone's music whose claim to fame is he was shot nine times and he's still living. You know what that tells me?
He either hired someone to shoot and not kill or whoever he had a beef with couldn't see worth a damn! And if the person he had beef with couldn't see who to shoot, then nobody should be hanging out with this dude because they are subject to catch a couple of bullets!
And this dude said that if Kanye outsells him, he will stop rapping. I personally challenge everyone who reads this to buy three or four of Kanye's "Graduation." Even if you throw them away, you can rest assured knowing that you have done your part in ridding the world of a nicely built, lock jawed rapper.
But even with all that, I am saying that I am disgusted and I want some REAL news. Is that too much to ask for?

It is Oh-Fish-AL!!!

The American justice system has gone to hell in a hand basket.
In case you haven't been keeping up with this, and Lord knows I tried not to, the Florida judge ruled to give custody of the body of Anna Nicole Smith to her infant daughter. Well, the baby's lawyer and then said that he feels she should be buried next to her son in the Bahamas.
Here's a novel idea, why not just rule in favor of Howard K. Stern? That was what he was trying to do in the first place. Now I don't know this man, but it seemed to me that he was the one who was there for her at the end of her life, whether he was an "enabler" or not.
This case is getting more and more bizarre by the minute.
Britney Spears is back in rehab ... again!!! This is the third time in a week. Let's hope that the third time is a charm.
In keeping with entertainment news today, I am a little reluctant to inform you guys about Paul McCartney's ex-wife to dance with the stars this season. Hee, hee, hee.
As if we needed more evidence that I am going to Hell, I wonder - are they going to put wheels on the foot of her artificial leg? Won't that allow for better movement?
OK, that was wrong and uncalled for. But you gotta admit, it was hella funny. :-D
FYI: I haven't said anything yet about "Norbit" or "Daddy's Little Girls" because I haven't seen them yet. But in true "Tiffany" fashion, I will likely do a movie marathon this weekend. I want to see "23" too. I heard Jim Carrey is awesome in that movie. So you guys will get updates sometime next week.

Can we all agree ...

that Britney Spears has lost her whole mind and be done with it?
I mean really, so what she shaved her head? Maybe she felt like she would be purged if she chopped off all her hair. Nevermind that she looks like she's ill. Nevermind that nothing is wrong with her other than the fact she wanted to get rid of her hair and scores of people who are on chemotherapy are losing theirs.
I just hope that she at least donated her hair to Locks of Love because she is getting way too much publicity to have just gotten a hair cut. India.Arie wasn't on CNN when she shaved her head and neither was Erykah Badu.
Scratch that, I just saw on MSN that her hair will be sold on eBay. Say it with me folks, "ugh."
Anyway, I say, fuhget her, her bald head and let's tune into the rest of the world.

As if it couldn't get worse ...

Britney Spears is hanging out with Paris Hilton. But that ain't the bad part, these ladies have decided to take up pole dancing. OK, this must now stop. Ms. Spears is bordering on the crazy. Nobody hangs out with Paris Hilton, not even her pets.
Ya'll remember when her dog ran away? What about when that monkey thing bit her? I think Britney is going to realize that it is something about Paris that even animals can't overlook, and they're animals.
And in more sad and outrageous news involving our law enforcement, cops in Wilmington, N.C., shot and killed an 18-year-old over a freakin' PlayStation 3. You read right, a PS3. This is ridiculous - a video game people.
First off, the kid was suspected of stealing two PS3s from UNCW students. The kid was a student at Cape Fear Community College. Now, the police were investigating this kid and another student and that led police to bust through the front door. Again, over a video game console.
Whether these kids stole these PS3s is a moot point, the real issue is the fact that the consoles were considered property and I don't recall any police breaking down doors to recover stolen TVs, jewelry or PS2s. So why is this different?
The Associated Press quoted the New Hanover County Sheriff Sid Causey saying, "If this boy would’ve come to the door, opened the door, we probably wouldn’t be talking." The man said that to the press. Again I say, over a d--- video game!!!
Where is the justice in that? You stole video game consoles so we're going to shoot you? The kid's roommate was quoted saying that the kid was unarmed but may have had a video game controller in his hand.
Now I'm not the most intelligent person in the world, but I am kinda smart and I am guessing that if we suspect this kid has stolen a PS3, the hottest console on the market, he is going to play with it. If it was suspected that he had a gun in his hand, why not follow protocol and tell him to drop the weapon - before you shoot. Just a suggestion.
And to top it all off, they shot the kid's dog. Now what did the dog have to do with anything? He can't play the game because he ain't got no thumbs!!! He can't use the L3 or R3 controls. I am outdone.
And I have to say something about Danny DeVito. Come on now, doesn't that little fella look like he can put away some drinks? I, for one, am not surprised he showed up at The View a lil' sauced. Since Star left I almost have to drink to watch the show, let alone be around those heifers.
Come on, ya'll know it has become The Rosie O'Donnell Show with four sidekicks. I'm just saying, DeVito could have very well gone out with George Clooney the night before and gotten a little tipsy, but he had a good reason to go to the show drunk.

Ding dong the witches are dead ...

Well, not really, nobody got hurt, physically, but the republicans did get their egos hurt. In case you live under a rock, democrats have risen to the occasion and now control the house for the U.S. Congress. Half the battle is already won now let's see if we can get them to do something worthwhile.
To their defense, they already got the not-so-Honorable Mr. Rumsfeld to resign. I hope impeachment is next. Let's be honest, Clinton got impeached for far less than what Bush has been up to.
In entertainment news, one of the hottest comedians in the country right now, Katt Williams was arrested on charges of possession of a stolen firearm. And get this, he tried to get it through airport security in his carry on luggage. I gotta ask what he was thinking.
Jawn Murray was on the TJMS this morning and said that Williams could possibly be trying to gain some street cred because he is the host of the BET "Hip Hop" Awards. And, this dude is trying to be a rapper.
Don't believe me? Go to his Web site, www.kattwilliams.com and listen to the track playing when it pops up. It's Katt and Cam'ron. Katt is a Diplomat now. Hmmmmmm. I shouldn't even touch this, but I will.
What went off in this negro's head to say, "Hey, I am going to get a felony gun charge to gain street credibility so that people will buy my album and accept me in the "hip hop" community. I know they are used to seeing me be silly, but I think I proved that I can rap while I was on Wild N' Out."
I just hate it for him when he gets locked up. I don't know for sure, but I don't think petite men with relaxed hair do too well in prison.
Britney Spears is now a free woman, she is divorcing her husband and I am not exactly surprised. I just hope homegirl was smart enough to chant the ever so famous, "We want prenup, we want prenup ..." She has to be the poster child of why you don't marry the help.
This had to be the most shiftless dude to ever play second fiddle to a female superstar. At least Bobby tried to work, nobody wanted him to. I just want somebody to find out which McDonald's Shar Jackson is working for so they can get a comment and find out what she's going to do for child support now.
OK, that was wrong, but c'mon folks, ya'll know she had to get a regular job.
