TEYANA TAYLOR JOINS THE SHAVED CLUB and the RED HAIR CLUB

ghettofabunews@yahoo.com (TrinkyWiggy) — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:14:00 PDT

Teyana Taylor shaved a little sumthin' sumthin off in the back of her head recently. I like it. It is in a place where if she wants to hide it she can.

Teyana and her brother Chris Brown AKA C. Breezy did some hair coloring recently. @TeyanaTaylor (twitter name) posted this pic up on twitter of her and Chris Brown doing their thing in red. These two have been hanging tight lately. They were just at Diddy's white party together. I think it is just a sister and a brother type relationship, you know others will try to make this out to be romantic thing. Especially since they are saying she looks like Rihanna. I dont see where they get that from. Both ladies have their own unique style and what not. Sheesh!!!

FINALLY CONFIRMATION...

THE GAME'S TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON

ghettofabunews@yahoo.com (TrinkyWiggy) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:22:00 PDT

The first official and best sounding tribute to Michael Jackson is West Coast rapper The Game. On the track is The Game, PDiddy, Chris Brown and Boyz II Men. Check it out! Also , check out the interview the The Game did with CNN on the motivation of the song and where the proceeds of the money will be going from the song.

CNN: You may be the first well-known artist to have a Michael Jackson tribute out there.

The Game: I didn't want to wake up the next morning and have somebody spread a tribute all over the Internet, and I wasn't a part of it. So I decided to take matters into my own hands.

CNN: Did you already have the beats pre-recorded?

The Game: No. The first thing I did was call DJ Khalil ... and I told him, "Yo, I need you in the studio, and by the time I get there, I need a Michael Jackson tribute song made [the music bed]. I need violinists, I need pianists, I need everyone in there for a production."

And then I started reaching out to Diddy. He's on a set 18 hours a day, but he said he'd get it done some way, somehow. Talked to Chris Brown. He and [his manager] Tina Davis said they were on their way to the studio -- so they told me after I do my part, to bring it over and Chris will do the hook. Before I took the beat over to Chris, Boyz II Men walked into the studio randomly -- so they took it to their studio next door, laid down all the background vocals.

Then I took it to Mario [Winans], then I took it to Diddy. In the meantime, me and my boy Taydoe -- we running around to the hospital, to the Jacksons' house, to the star on Hollywood, getting all this [secondary] footage [for the video]. Crazy.

CNN: This was the day he died, on Thursday?

The Game: It was just the day. By Friday, everything was done -- video, everything. We did it in 15 hours.

CNN: You made the music video for $500.

The Game: All in tapes, $500 went to tapes, HD high-definition tapes.

CNN: At the end of the video, you reveal a new tattoo.

The Game: Yeah, I'll show you. I thought if I was going to get a Michael Jackson tattoo, I would get a more menacing one. (The tattoo shows the "King of Pop" with a bandanna over the lower half of his face.)

CNN: Had you ever met Michael?

The Game: I never met him in person, but he tried to mediate a truce between myself and Curtis Jackson [aka 50 Cent], and I wasn't having it at that time.

CNN: How did that happen? Did somebody call you and say, "Please hold the line for Michael Jackson?"

The Game: At first my managers called me and they said, "Mike -- Michael Jackson -- is going to want to talk to you in an hour. Exactly an hour." So I waited an hour, and I'm like chewing on my fingers in the hotel room ... and the phone rings and a guy comes on and he's got an English accent. He's like (affects an English accent), "Hello Game, I have Michael Jackson on hold for you." It was just cool.

So Michael comes on, and ... he was like, "Yo, it's Mike, and I'm a big fan of your music," and starts going into my songs, "Hate it or Love It" and "How We Do." And he's like, "I'm a big fan of 50's -- every time I get in the car, I tell my driver to play 'In Da Club.' Would you guys be willing to make a truce, and then put it on my album?"

SARAH PALIN STEPS DOWN AS GOV. OF ALASKA

ghettofabunews@yahoo.com (TrinkyWiggy) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:11:00 PDT

Gov. Sarah Palin announced Friday that she will step down as Alaska's chief executive by the end of the month. She will not seek election to a second gubernatorial term in 2010.
Per sources, Palin's return to her home state has been a rocky one. Beyond a flood of ethics complaints — most of which have been dismissed — the governor was forced to backtrack on her decision to reject federal stimulus funds, her pick for attorney general was rejected by an increasingly hostile legislature, and her personal life has continued to grab headlines.

There has to be something else behind this. This announcement on this day did not just happen by chance. Watch the video!

Michael Jackson's Last Rehearsals

ghettofabunews@yahoo.com (TrinkyWiggy) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:36:00 PDT

AEG Inc., the promoters of the Michael Jackson tour has released clips of the last rehearsals of Michael Jackson. Everybody saying that Michael was looking great, but I say he did look a little frail in the video. Definitely a whole lot skinner than the previous Michael Jackson we had seen before. Michael Jackson will be laid to rest on July 7, 2009 @ The Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. RIP MJJ

NEW VIDEO: DRAKE "BEST I EVER HAD"

ghettofabunews@yahoo.com (TrinkyWiggy) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 06:54:00 PDT

For Hip Hop News & Entertainment at DimeWars.Com

Drake brings us the video for his new single "Best I Ever Had". The video was directed by Kanye West. Let's just say I expected a little bit more from Drake andKanye for this video. After weeks of speculation, Drake has chosen to go with the home team and sign with Lil Wayne's Young Money Records, according to a source close to the situation. The deal breaks down as a joint venture between Young Money and Cash Money, with Universal Republic distributing. Drake's management was adamant that he should be viewed as an independent artist, although Universal will distribute the project.

"Today is a definitely a comfortable day for me, having my team now that's been in place for a couple of years. It's just a great day," Drake told MTV News recently in New York. "It's something new, but it feels familiar."

Oxi Clean Pitchman Billy Mays dies

ghettofabunews@yahoo.com (TrinkyWiggy) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:38:00 PDT

Infomercial pitchman Billy Mays died at his Tampa, Florida, home Sunday morning.

The 50-year-old known for his shouting OxiClean ads was pronounced dead at 7:45 a.m. The Hillsborough County medical examiner will perform an autopsy, Tampa police Lt. Brian Dugan said.

Mays was on the US Airways flight from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Tampa on Saturday that had a hard landing at Tampa International Airport when the plane's front tire blew out. There were no reported injuries on Flight 1241, US Airways told CNN. According to a local Tampa TV station, Mays said: "All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."

Jada Pinkett Smith for Redbook

ghettofabunews@yahoo.com (TrinkyWiggy) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 10:50:00 PDT

Per Redbookmag.com

The Smith Residence in the San Fernando Valley is on a serious piece of property. As I bumble along a path that doesn't, as it happens, lead to the front door of the sprawling, low-slung adobe-style home, a walkie-talkie-equipped member of a plainclothes security detail appears to guide me to the entrance. Framed by masses of potted succulents, the Moroccan-inspired wooden door leads to a large open foyer, a preamble to an airy sunken living room where Southwestern and African elements blend comfortably and the window looks out onto a large pond. The place is grand, but warm and eclectic. I am led to the dining room, where the table has been set.

When Jada Pinkett Smith arrives, the first word that springs to mind is petite; her body is lost inside black sweats and a giant black T-shirt with a heavy-metal band's logo splashed in red: Mnemic. It takes only a few minutes of conversation, though, for Jada to become larger than life. "I don't know what's in here," she says, using chopsticks to airlift one of the intricately bundled dim sum dumplings left on platters for us by her cook. "All I know is it's not pork and it's not cow. I don't eat those." Her conversation swoops and glides from the serious to the silly, her voice from barely audible to dinner-party loud. Profound observations about relationships and motherhood are leavened with a laugh, and when an idea tickles her, she claps her hands and hoots.

My prayers are with his family. Michael will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. He’s the greatest … the best ever. No one will ever be better."

“This loss has deeply saddened me, with a heavy heart I composed this statement. May God cover you Michael. We all lift your name up in prayer. I pray for the entire JACKSON family particularly Michael's mother and all his fans that loved him so much. I would not be the artist, performer, and philanthropist I am today without the influence of Michael. I have great admiration and respect for Him and I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to meet and perform with such a great entertainer In so many ways he transcended culture. He broke barriers, he changed radio formats! With music, he made it possible for people like Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama to impact the mainstream world. His legacy is unparalleled Michael Jackson will never be forgotten.”

-P Diddy

"I am truly saddened that my mentor, brother and friend will no longer be with us physically. At the same time I feel so blessed to have been touched by his music, his dance, his lyrics and his pure genius. It is because of Michael's yesterday that I am who I am today! My condolences to his family and friends around the world. Michael Jackson rest in peace and may your music and legacy forever reign on Earth!

-R Kelly
