Hello world. Time is ticking and I’m counting every second. Because of my new
limitations, this unfortunately has to be my last letter. I don’t think people
truly understand how much their thoughts and well wishes have helped me through
this time in my life. Not everyone is as lucky as I am and it humbles me daily.
You would be amazed what positivity can do in a negative environment. I’m going
to miss reading about your lives. I’m going to miss looking at the pictures.
They were the highlight of my days aside from speaking with my kids. Don’t
stress over this in 27 days, the ride starts again.
Thank you from the
bottom of my heart to everyone who is supporting I Am Not A Human Being. It
amazes me each time people go out and support my music. I’ll always be in debt
to you for that. Keep rocking your “Free Weezy” tees and rocking out to my
music. Trust me when I say this is almost over. I love you. I’ll continue to
pray for all of you. Just keep doing the same for me.

The blogs are buzzing about Reggie and Kim's recent breakup. One blog in particular, Gossiponthis.com is reporting they know the juice.

Source:

A source told X17 online: “Reggie’s mom just could not get over the fact that Kim had a sex tape. Reggie and his family are very conservative, and he told Kim that a marriage is never going to happen between them because of the tape.”
Kim is said to regret the video more than ever now as she believes she would still be with Reggie, 25, if it had never been made public.
The source added: “She’s still crazy about him. If she didn’t have the sex tape, she could have been Mrs. Bush.”

We knew it was just a matter of time before Reggie sent this chick packing. A phat azz and a cute face does NOT equal wifey material, fellas!

"Black and Gold to the Super Bowl!" is the roaring chant amongst the 'Who Dat' nation of New Orleans.

Forty-four years in the making and the New Orleans Saints finally makes the trip to the 'Big Game' after a stomach clinching battle against the Minnesota Vikings. With a kick heard around the world, kicker Garrett Hartley pulled the bottom right out from underneath Brett Farve and the Vikings with a 31-28 victory in overtime.

Despite imperfect statistics and overwhelming odds, the city that refuses to give up, New Orleans is officially back, after being devastated by Hurricane Katrina, which sent the Saints away to San Antonia to continue on with their 2005 football season.

The New Orleans Saints prepares for the trip to Miami to battle the Indianapolis Colts in Super bowl XLIV.

THE MICHAEL VICK PROJECT

Michael Vick has climbed out of the dog house, and back into the spotlight, following his dog fighting conviction. He's back in the NFL and trying to rebuild his image, and is launching a new reality show to help do just that.
Recently, Vick announced that he'll be starring in a new reality show on BET in January, where he'll show the general public how he's changed.
The upcoming show is called "The Michael Vick Project," and will focus on his re-entry into the NFL , while taking a look into his recent legal troubles and how he is trying to change the way he was living.
"I just want people to really get to know me as an individual," the NFL quarterback told the L.A. Times. "I am a human being. I've made some mistakes in the past, and I wish it had never happened. But it's not about how you fall, but about how you pick yourself up."
Despite changing his tune, some -- like PETA -- aren't buying it. They say that Vick isn't sincere about his apologies and his efforts are just attempted to rehabilitate his tarnished image with the public.
"People who abuse animals don't deserve to be rewarded," said PETA spokesman Dan Shannon. "They shouldn't be given multi-million dollar contracts ... or given the privilege of being a role model. We don't believe Michael Vick understands the seriousness of his crime. I think he's sorry he got caught, but only time will tell if he's truly remorseful."
Financial details regarding how much Vick is being paid for the show are currently unknown. He does, however, owe creditors around $20 million, which he is paying over a six-year span to emerge from bankruptcy.
The upcoming show is being labeled a "docu-series" style show, and not a typical reality show like other athletes such as Terrell Owens, its producers said.
It will focus on Vick's personal struggles since his release, including the strains on his relationships with his fiance, Kijafa Frink, and his children. He is also set to revisit the federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan., where Vick spent 1 1/2 years behind bars and the Virginia property where he ran and financed a dogfighting ring.
"This show can be a blueprint for so many kids," Vick told the paper. "I want to show them that things are going to happen, that they're not going to get through life without dealing with some kind of adversity. I want to show that if they have a fall from grace, this is how they can turn it around. We want this to be a story of hope."

KANDI BURRUSS' EX-FIANCE DEAD FOLLOWING STRIP CLUB BRAWL

The ex-fiance of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star, Kandi Burruss, was killed Friday night (October 2), following a fight in an ATL strip club.
According to Sandrarose.com, A.J. Jewell was involved in a brawl at Atlanta strip club Body Tap Friday evening, and suffered serious injury.
During the fight, he sustained severe head injuries, and was rushed to Piedmont Hospital, where he later died.
Update: Homicide detectives arrested the suspect, Fredrick Richardson, who has been charged with voluntary manslaughter.
"Kandi is devastated as she is also mourning the death of her uncle, Ralph Leslie, and is attending his funeral today," TreMedia said in a statement on behalf of the reality star Saturday (October 3). "She has no statement to make at this time and asks for privacy. There are no final details on the death of AJ."
Kandi is a Grammy Award-winning singer as a member of the 90s all-girl group Xscape. She joined the second season of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" as a replacement for housewife Deshawn Snow.
According to Wikipedia, she began dating A.J. in early 2009, and months into their relationship, they became engaged.
However, tensions began to rise between the couple "over Jewell having six children of his own." So, in August, they called off their engagement and broke up. Jewell said they remained "good friends" though.

Our prayers are with Kandi and the family.

UPDATE: LIL WAYNE'S ARIZONA DRUG TRIAL SET FOR 2010

Nearly two years after being arrested on drug charges, Lil Wayne is finally set to stand trial in Arizona ... in 2010.
The rapper (real name: Dwayne Carter) was busted in January 2008, when drugs were found during a search of his tour bus as it past through Yuma, Arizona at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint.
During their search, the DEA confiscated 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and 41 grams of ecstasy pills. Weezy was charged with three felony charges -- including possession of dangerous drugs, possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia.
A handgun was also found.
Since the arrest, the rapper has pleaded not guilty.
While he's remained quiet about the arrest, he addressed the incident during a performance in Richmond, Virginia days after his arrest.
"A junkie can't do what the f*** I do. I try to tell them," he said. "I am the ultimate high, understand? I am my drug, you understand me?"
According to the Phoenix New Times, the case has been delayed because the prosecutor in the case "doesn't offer misdemeanor charges for such offenses", halting any plea deals as well as delaying the scheduling of a trial.
Lil Wayne's trial is now set to begin March 30, 2010.

FLAVOR FLAV WANTS TO GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL IN NEW REALITY SERIES

He's the most famous hypeman ever ... in hip-hop. But while Flavor Flav shot to stardom in the 80s and 90s with Public Enemy, he was able to revive his celebrity and expand his fanbase to the younger generation with a stint on reality TV via his VH1 reality series "Flavor of Love" back in 2006.
After three successful seasons, his search for love ended, but now, he's ready to get back on the reality TV horse, as he begins to shop a new reality show idea to networks.
The idea being about Flav returning to high school, since he dropped out in the 10th grade. At 50 years old, the rapper wants his diploma and hopes everyone wants to see him achieve that.
"I just want to show the world it's never too late to get your diploma, and show kids they should stay in school and not wait until you're old to get it," Flav told Access Hollywood. "Everybody sees me as this big love mogul. Now I got a baby girl, I've been there and done that and now it's time for the next episode."
While he may be serious about getting that piece of paper, Flav makes it clear that he's there to have fun as well, and will display the "wackiness" he's known for.
"There will definitely be some wackiness too!" he said. "I'm going out for the band, and the basketball team, and the football team. I'm still gonna keep Flavor Flav the man around! If the football team is losing the game, I'm gonna put on a jersey, and I'm gonna go out there and win the game for my school!"
Flav hopes the show will help change the direction of reality TV, and help turn its focus to more positive things.
"I think right now the direction of reality TV needs to change," he said. "I started out the trend for the dating shows on reality TV. My heart is saddened about the murder that happened within the course of that. I am going to change the course of things. People want something more right now; they want something smarter."
At press time, there was no timeline of when Flav's show would begin, or if any networks were interested.
Stay tuned for updates.

JUVENILE SAYS HOT BOYZ REUNION IS STILL ON

noreply@blogger.com (Babydoll) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 03:19:00 +0000

LOUISIANA PAPARAZZI:

October 5, 2009

Fans have anxiously awaited the return of the New Orleans crew, the Hot Boys, ever since they confirmed that a reunion was coming in 2007.
While nothing has panned out so far, the group's members -- which includes Juvenile, Lil Wayne, B.G. and Turk -- continue to say it's coming, and they've been in the studio recording.
As he gears up for new projects, member Juvenile recently discussed the long-rumored return of the Hot Boys, saying all the members are on board, reports our source.
"It's definitely gonna be a Hot Boy$ reunion. I be talking to Baby like everyday," he said. "That's all I can tell you, the ball is in their hands right now. We definitely been in the studio, but the songs we recorded earlier got leaked, but people know we definitely been in the studio."
One member who hasn't been able to participate is Turk, who is currently serving jail time for an attempted murder charge of a Memphis police officer back in 2004.
Juve said Turk's situation is still up in the air, since he's heard so many different things regarding his current status.
"I spoke to Turk months back and he told me he was getting out of jail. Then I heard he signed with J. Prince (Rap-A-Lot) so I really don't know what Turk's situation is," he said.
When a new Hot Boys project comes, it will be the four man crew's Fourth. The last, Let 'Em Burn, came in 2003. However, that album consisted of material recorded from 1998 to 2000. Their last release when all were on speaking terms came in 1999.
In 2001 B.G., Juvenile and Turk departed from the Cash Money label, as they went on to pursue solo careers. Several reunion concerts have been attempted since then, but nothing formulated.

Stay tuned for updates!

Nearly two months after announcing their split, Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush are back together, following the recent marriage of her sister Khloe and the Lakers' Lamar Odom over the weekend.
Her sis' marriage is what did it, says reports.
Kim reportedly hopped on a plane to New Orleans right after Khloe's wedding to make up with Reggie. Get this, because it "made her miss him."
One source tells People, it's official too.
"They're totally back together for real," the source said. "Kim and Reggie spent a few months apart getting their priorities together and figuring out who they were as individuals, so they can make it work together."
They are still in love, the source said. And just to show you how close they still are, Bush's parents even attended Khloe's weekend wedding.
Kim and Reggie split in July after more than two years of dating. They've been spotted together since, but this is the first confirmation that they're officially back on.

DESPITE SUCCESS IN BUSINESS, DIDDY SAYS HE'S YET TO CONQUER LOVE

Over the years, Diddy has become a powerful man in entertainment. Not does he have numerous platinum albums under his belt, but his resume includes successful stints on Broadway and reality show success as well.
One thing he has yet to conquer is love, the hip-hop mogul recently admitted. In a recent interview with BlackBook Magazine, Diddy elaborated.
"Love is something I strongly connect with, but it's not something I've conquered," he admits "I really can't sit here pretending to be the premiere expert on love.
Diddy went on to explain that things don't excite him like they used to, especially meaningless sex with "hot chicks."
"I guess the things that used to thrill me don't thrill me so much anymore," Diddy explained. "Intimacy is more important to me than sleeping with hot chicks. I don't even know if I really savored every menage a trios I had. I don't want to do it all over again."
If his track record in business is any indication, love shouldn't stay out of his life for long.
Diddy's past relationships include runs with model Kim Porter, whom he has three children with -- a son named Christian and twin daughters, D'Lila and Jessie James, and a highly publicized relationship with Jennifer Lopez.
Blogs have speculated whether or not he has had or currently has a relationship with his Bad Boy Records recording artist Cassie.

T-PAIN APOLOGIZES TO JAY-Z IN NEW FREESTYLE -- "MORE CAREFUL"

T-Pain leaked a new song to the internet this week, in which he apologizes to Jay-Z for publicly dissing him last month during a performance in Las Vegas.
In the new track, where Pain croons over Drake's "Successful" intrumental," the singer blames the alcohol for saying "F*** Jay-Z."

Listen to T-Pains "More Careful" freestyle here!

During a performance in Las Vegas in early September, T-Pain was caught on camera dissing Jay after a fan in the crowd yelled out "Jay-Z destroyed you."
The comment pissed him off so bad that he took aim at Jay, saying "f*** Jay", as well as calling him old.
Not only did fans catch the diss on camera, but rapper Fabolous was also in attendence, and tweeted about it. Then, later dissed T-Pain for it.
In a radio interview a few days later, T-Pain explained his frustration with the "D.O.A." song, and his disappointment with Jay never publicly saying it wasn't a diss toward him.
He said he was sorry, and said there was no beef between he and Jay-Z, and/or Fabolous.

KANYE WEST, LADY GAGA'S FAME KILLS TOUR CANCELLED

The highly anticipated co-headlining Fame Kills Tour, featuring Kanye West and Lady Gaga, has been killed before it even began.
A press release by promoter Live Nation delivered the news this week, but didn't give an explanation over the 34-date tour's cancellation.
However, it did say refunds are available at the point of purchase, and that tickets purchased online and via phone will be refunded automatically.
Rumors of the tour's demise has been circulating the web for days, due largely to the negative publicity the rapper received from the VMAs incident last month where Kanye disrupted country singer Taylor Swift's award acceptance speech to say -- in so many words -- that Beyonce should've won.
At press time, it was unknown if the tour plans to be re-launched at a later time.

SWIZZ BEATZ EX WIFE MASHONDA GETS AT ALICIA KEYS ABOUT TAKING HER HUSBAND!

noreply@blogger.com (Babydoll) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 21:01:00 +0000

LOUISIANA PAPARAZZI:

September 28, 2009

If you're up on your hip-hop couples gossip, it's been revealed that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz allegedly had an affair, and she was the reason for the producer's divorce from his singer/wife Mashonda.
The couple separated back in early 2008, and then the rumors began to surface. While Mashonda has expressed her feelings over the alleged relationship with Keys, Swizzy hadn't until sometime this May, when he hinted at it.
Swizzy admitted to the New York Daily News that he's in love with Keys, but says some of the lines he spit on the remix of Drake's "Best I Ever Had" single were a bit exaggerated.
"We're nowhere near ready for a baby or a ring," he laughed. "This whole song is not about Alicia. The part about her cooking breakfast for me naked -- she never done that for me."
Over the weekend, Mashonda wrote an open letter to Keys, after reading a few of her tweets on Friday. She claims that she tried to reach out to Keys in the past, but never received a response. So, the open letter was the only way she could speak her peace.
In a Twitter update on her official page (@AliciaKeys), the singer wrote: "Having a heated debate n the studio. Question is ... N love is it better to go 4 the choice that is 'SMART' or the choice that has 'SPARK'??" This sparked the response.
In the letter, Mashonda also revealed that her and Swizzy have "worked out their differences," or at least, she thought so. Here's the letter in its entirety, according to sources:

After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. I've never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I've reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.
was a fan of AK's last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.
Already I can hear some of you saying "why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats broken." Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.
My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.
If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create.
Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you would've handled things more carefully. I'm not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice. I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it now
This is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we don't have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!
I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into what's real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the "people", this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well.
I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you don't understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong.
If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because I'm not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised.
To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot.
Stay blessed and lets work this thing out with respect and dignity.

NEYO'S SONGS FOR MICHAEL JACKSON PLUS HIS EXCITEMENT ABOUT WRITING JENNIFER HUDSONS NEXT ALBUM

Ne-Yo, who was writing "melodic" songs for Michael Jackson's comeback album until -- well, you know what happened -- tells New York magazine he's undecided as to what to do with the music, since the songs were specifically written for his idol, Michael.“It’s sitting there, waiting to either come out on someone else or not come out at all," he said. "I don’t know. I’m kind of on the fence because it was music that was meant to go to Michael, so I would kind of feel funny about giving it to someone else. Some people have been like, ‘Well, why don’t you release it yourself?’ Same reason. Because it was supposed to go to Mike. So I don’t know. I’ll sit and listen to it again and figure out what I want to do.”What he's definitely sure about, though, is writing Jennifer Hudson's entire sophomore album and changing her sound up a bit.“I’m quite probably going to be executive-producing her whole project," he told the magazine. "She wants this one to be a lot more personal than the last one was. And she’s had a lot of stuff to deal with, personally. The marriage; she just had a baby; and, you know, the whole.... A lot of things to talk about. So we’re gonna take all of these experiences and turn them into music, somehow.”

The checks never stop coming in for him and we gotta congratulate.

The long-awaited new album from Lil Wayne is getting pushed back again. Rebirth, which features more rock-influenced tracks, was due very early this year, but has experienced several delays.
Louisianapaparazzi.blogspot.com has learned that the album's new release date will be December 15, just in time for Christmas, and typically the busiest shopping weeks of the year.
The project was originally set for April, and was most recently set for November 24th, following the releases of the singles "Prom Queen" and "Hot Revolver."
In July, Wayne explained why the anticipated album was experiencing delays. The reason being: to make way for the artists on his Young Money roster.
"Honestly, I'm just starting up this Young Money label and I'm trying to get my artists down right. Get everybody together," Weezy said. "Once I got that together, then I could work back on me. I'm a very humble person. I know once I get to it, I'mma get to it. So like I was saying, it's Young Money time, so making sure my artists get their just due."

NEW VACCINE REDUCES HIV INFECTION -- IS A CURE COMING?

Could a cure for AIDS be in the near future? We're not sure, but a new vaccine in Bangkok has prevented the infection of the AIDS virus, surprising scientists and researchers.
According to an Associated Press report, a new vaccine cut the risk of contracting HIV by more than 31 percent in the world's largest AIDS vaccine trial of more than 16,000 volunteers in Thailand, researchers from Bangkok said Thursday (September 24).
While it's still not full-proof, "it's the first evidence that we could have a safe and effective preventive vaccine," Col. Jerome Kim, who helped lead the study for the U.S. Army, told the AP.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also warned that the vaccine is "not the end of the road," but said he was surprised and very pleased by the outcome.
"It gives me cautious optimism about the possibility of improving this result" he continued. "This is something that we can do."
The U.N. agency, UNAIDS, estimates that 7,500 people worldwide are newly infected with HIV on a daily basis. Two million died of the disease in 2007. So, even with a vaccine that could partially protect against it, a lot of lives could be saved.
The Thailand Ministry of Public Health conducted the study, using strains of HIV common in Thailand. Scientists stressed that it's still unknow whether such a vaccine would work against other strains in other countries.
"This is a scientific breakthrough," Thai Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai said. "For the first time ever there is evidence that HIV vaccine has preventative efficacy."

While AIDS is still a problem, it's definitely a step in the right direction. However, there's a long a way to go.
What are you thoughts? With the continued spread of HIV, what are you doing to protect yourself?

Jay-Z didn't say much then, but he was livid after Lil Mama (who?) jumped onstage while he performed with Alicia Keys at the MTV Video Music Awards.In an interview with Hot 97's Angie Martinez, Jay-Z says he was "angry" with the interruption especially after putting in so many hours of preparation."Me, personally, I would never do that. I would never have the nerve to do that. It's just like, someone's up there performing... We went through rehearsals, we did run-throughs and we worked really hard at the performance to put on a show for people and to interrupt that moment for us, you know, I don't think that was the right thing to do....I actually thought it was the equivalent of what Kanye did to Taylor Swift but nobody really talked about that because I'm not a little sweet girl from the middle of America. And I'm cool with her (Lil Mama) being excited and all that but you have to understand, people put in work to make that performance happen, that took weeks the planning of it. If you look at those screens, we had to go to Yankee Stadium to shoot that live, there was a lot of planning. To disrupt that was out of line. I was a little angry to be honest, but what do I do, fight Lil Mama?"

Yes, fight her! Or let Sasha fight her.

Jokes.

Louisiana's own, Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie pleaded guilty to a third-offense marijuana possession charge on Tuesday (September 22), and has been sentenced to two years in prison, reports local TV station WBRZ.
Via an agreement with prosecutors, the 26-year-old rapper (real name: Torrence Hatch) is expected to receive a 10-year sentence, but all those years will be suspended except the first two.
He must serve at least one year, before he can be released.
"I'm ready to get this behind me," Boosie told the judge Tuesday, after pleading guilty.
He's not set for sentencing on November 9th. However, the judge warned the rapper to stay outta trouble while he's free or the agreed sentence would be much more.
After being released, the rapper will be on probation for two to five years.
Boosie was arrested back in October 2008, when police found a bag of marijuana, a blunt, and a gun in a vehicle he was driving.
He was charged with third-offense possession of marijuana, which is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, and possession of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance, which carries a mandatory minimum five-year term.
The firearm charge will be dropped after he completes his prison term and probation.
The rapper recently released his second solo album, Superbad: The Return of Boosie Bad Azz, his first new album since 2006.
