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?

Hold up! Time out! Flag on the play!

What is wrong with 50 Cent? Other than the fact that he can't open his mouth and talk to people.
This fool is quoted in Elle magazine saying that Oprah has become one of the middle age white women her show is geared toward. He can't be serious.
I guess he wants to get on her show to tell about how he got shot nine times and how well his music is doing and how great of an actor he is and how he hates every rapper that doesn't lick his behind.
Oh and he's got a co-signer too in Ice Cube. Cube is talking about how she's had rapists and lying authors on the show and how he got slighted.
They will probably take my colored card for this too, but I don't care and newsflash, neither does Oprah. That woman is richer than both of those guys combined and they will never ever, ever, ever have the impact that she has had on America.
Now they might hold a small demographic of people for a couple of years, but this woman, this black woman has managed to influence multiple generations of women and gay guys for more than 20 years and will continue do so for as long as she wants to.
How dare 50 Cent, Curtis Jackson, crack his lips to let anything seep out in an attempt to regulate what that woman puts on her show? You don't see anybody in the studio while he's writing the same song 50-11 times trying to tell him what to put in it.
All this is a case of "why won't she let me be on her show?" He is just whining like little boys do. He needs to go somewhere and sit down and let somebody pry his jaw open.
He must have a CD coming out or something. Every time he gets ready to put out a CD he has to attack whomever is in the media. The last time it was Kanye West, a past Oprah show guest, before that it was Game, before that it was Ja Rule and whomever else he wanted to declare war on.
I want America to see him for what he is and that is a media whore. He will do anything to get media attention and my silly counterparts and gatekeepers are playing right into it. So take a bow Mr. Jackson, you have again succeeded in bringing attention to yourself for the sake of album sales.
