Papa Ursher

Tameka Foster (wife of the fabulous Usher Raymond) has given birth to a health baby boy. The new Mr. Raymond, who we're assuming is going to be named Usher V, came into the world on Monday evening. Word has it that mother and baby are doing well, and the family is expected to return home on Wednesday. I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of the whole Usher and Tameka thing in the very beginning, but if they like it I love it. Congrats to the proud parents!

Star Spangled Foolishness

Why do the powers that be INSIST on asking non-singing folk to perform the National Anthem? Like I said before, there ought to be a law against it! Check out non-singing Ashanti's performance from this week's Cowboys-Jets game.

**smh**

Say It Ain't So...

So apparently the sexiness that is Lonnie Rashid Lynn aka Common and Serena Williams were seen together in London over the weekend. She's rumored to be dating actor Jackie Long (ATL, Idlewild) and Mr. Lynn is rumored to be dating actress Kerry Williams. I'm hoping that ReeRee's stockings are not a sign that some foolishness went on between the two of them. If something touchy-feely is going on between Common and ReeRee, it's definitely not a good look on his part. Boo Common, just boo.

Foolishness...

Ok, as a B.A.P. I am able to appreciate the finer things in life - even if I'm not always (or often) able to afford them. Just because you have money to spend, doesn't mean that you have to spend it on FOOLISHNESS! I was wishfully browsing on the Gucci website, and I came across these...

GUCCI ICE TRAYS?!?

First off, these "designer"ice trays cost $100 for two. Um, you can get two "regular" ice trays for are like $10 at Wal-Mart!

Secondly, the majority of freezers have ice makers, so how many people really use ice trays anymore?

COME ON! There are starving people all around the world, and they have the NERVE to charge $100 for ice trays! That money could be put toward a cart of groceries for a hungry family during the holiday season.

Boo Gucci, just boo! And boo on the idiots who purchase the ice trays!

WTF?

**So I just saw that the AP had to retract their story because Paris didn't actually say the statement about the elephants getting drunk. Doesn't it sound like something she would say though? Money sure can't buy brains...**

WTF?

Ok, so apparently, Paris Hilton is lending her famous last name and fortune to helping what she deems a "worthy" cause in India - saving drunken elephants.



"The elephants get drunk all the time. It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them," the 26-year-old socialite said in a report posted on World Entertainment News Network's Web site. Her comments were picked up by other Web sites and newspapers around the globe. (Taken from the Associated Press story)



Apparently, the elephants get drunk on homemade rice beer, then go on destructive rampages.



Don't get me wrong, I'm an animal lover, I have a dog, but don't you think this chick can find a more worthy cause to support? Like maybe saving starving children, or helping to prevent young Hollywood starlets and other socialites from going on drunken rampages? Maybe it's just me...
