R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor

Actress Elizabeth Taylor died Wednesday of congestive heart failure at 79 years old. The violet-eyed Hollywood legend was with her four children when she died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she
had been hospitalized for about six weeks, says her publicist SallyMorrison to the Associated Press.

She truly was a legend. Her fashion, jewels and eight marriages were the spark of many rumors, but her work as a humanitarian working She was the original "modern day celebrity". She was also a huge supporter of the gay community when HIV/AIDs was a taboo subject.
 

"Follow your passion, follow your heart, and the things you need will come."

-Elizabeth Taylor

Throwback Monday

Let's go back to 2006, where hyphy juice was the Bay Area's energy drink of choice, shakin' your dreads was considered a dance move, ghost ridin' the whip got you in trouble and when THIS song came on the club went wild!

R.I.P. Nate Dogg

I seriously can't believe this!

Rapper Nate Dogg died Tuesday at the age of 41. Reports say the cause of the West Coast legend's death was due to multiple strokes. The rapper's had two strokes since 2008. Nate's symbolic, monotone voice has been featured on many hits like  50 Cent's 21 Questions, Warren G's Regulate, Ludacris' Area Codes, Tupac's All About U and Dr. Dre's famous, Next Episode.



Though Nate added his special touch on rappers from all over the U.S., he always stayed loyal to his soil, providing that West Coast sound along with Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and the Dogg Pound.


This is my favorite track with Nate Dogg, among others:



We'll miss you, Nate!
The West Coast will never be the same!

Throwback Monday

This song reminds me of 8th grade!

R.I.P. Biggie Smalls

Fourteen years ago in Los Angeles, NYC rapper Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace was shot and killed near the Peterson Automotive Museum. To honor the fallen rapper, here's a little song to remember him.
Don't worry, it's not I'll Be Missing You.



I know, I know. I didn't do a Tupac Tribute back in September. I'll make up for it later, promise!

"Charlie, You're Fired"

Warner Bros. Television says it has fired Charlie Sheen from the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. The studio that produces the CBS series said the decision was made after "careful consideration."

I guess tiger's blood and Adonis DNA don't protect you from getting the pink slip!

This comes shortly after Sheen tweeted that he's looking for an intern.The tweet is a paid-for endorsement from the year-old website Internships.com.

Wow! Why does Monica Lewinksy seem to pop into my mind right now?

Ah, Charlie....you're so not #winning!

Throwback Monday!

This song reminds me of when my friends and I would stand near the wall when a slow song played at our Jr. High dance, crossing our fingers that the guys we liked at the time would ask us to dance.

......of course they never did! LOL.

Funny how you wish you knew then what you knew now!

CBS Looking Two and A Half Men Replacement

We've all seen all of Charlie Sheen's crazy antics and soundbites from interviews claiming that he's winning and had tiger blood and Adonis DNA. Of course, it's given the late-night talk show circuit, SNL and many spoof websites material to make fun of Sheen.

Rumors are swirling that John Stamos could be Sheen's replacement on the CBS sitcom, Two and a Half Men.

But what about Jerry O'Connell?

New Rolling Stone Cover Girl!

Miss Nicole Snooki Polizzi is the latest cover girl for Rolling Stone.

Below are some inserts from the mag courtesy of Style Bistro:

Snooki on watching herself on the show: “If I do something stupid, which is pretty much the whole time, I hate it. I just hate it. Obviously, they’re only going to put the good stuff in, and the good stuff is us drunk, so all I’m seeing is me drunk and falling down.”
Snooki on plans for her future: “What I’d like is to turn out like Jessica Simpson, with her whole brand. She makes millions…I’m trying to build an empire, because after this I can’t get a normal job. I mean, how do I go and sit behind a desk?”
Snooki on being filmed 24/7: “We can’t have cellphones, TV, radio or the Internet. If the president died, we’d have no idea. There’s no normalcy. It’s just like a prison, with cameras.”
Snooki on smushing during the show: “The guys you see me bring home, we’re only cuddling and making out like any other person would do, but we’re on camera and the whole world’s seeing it, and it does look like I’m having sex.”

Britney's New Single: "Till the World Ends"

Watch and learn, Kimmy Cakes....this is how a REAL pop star sounds!

I love comeback stories, especially when it involves someone so scruntinized as Ms. Spears. I love that I'll show you attitude when it comes with these tales.

Britney Spears is on FIY-UUH and really proving to all of us that she's still got it!

Her latest single on her Femme Fatale album has just been released....and it's early!

According to Perez Hilton the track was produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke and co-written by Ke$ha!

Britney, WELCOME BACK!

I can't wait to put this on my iPod and rock out to it at the gym, in my car and at the club!

Kimmy K. Debuts New Single "Jam"

You should all know by now how I have a love-hate relationship with the Kardashians (especially, Kim). I love their style and find them all beautiful, but they're media whores.

Of course, I add to the media-whoreness by blogging about them and buying into everything they promote.

Kim's new single produced by The Dream is finally out, and I must admit it isn't half-bad, you know...behind all the auto-tune and specifically produced beats.You can barely hear her real voice. It kind of reminds me of those "make your own album" booths you see at amusement parks.

 It's definitely a little better than Paris Hilton's Stars Are Blind.

No wonder Paris is so jealous of her!

I'm sure after a few glasses of champagne, I'll LOVE this song when it plays at the club.
However, I do find it a slap in the face to true music artists when celebutantes like the Kardashians and Hiltons just think because they have all this money, they too can be a musical genuis.

Sorry girls. You have a single and all, but you're no BRITNEY or GAGA!

What do YOU think?
