WHY DID JADEN SMITH REGRET HIS RAP VIDEO?

Will Smith's enterprising son Jaden regrets his 2012 skateboarding video venture - because he gave critics the ammunition they needed to attack him for his fashion and rap choices.

The Karate Kid star showed off his skateboarding prowess in the promo for Pumped Up Kicks (Like Me) and he tells Nylon magazine he's still trying to play the video down.

He explains, "It was probably one of the greatest things I did for my rap career, and one of the worst. I wasn't dressing like I wanted to be dressing at the time, even though I was dressing myself. The raps weren't how I wanted the raps to be. All the skater kids were like, 'Oh snap, Jaden's rapping, lemme check it out', and that video gave them a reason to go, 'Yep, Jaden's wack, I knew it!' "

Who cares about the haters? The video is perfectly fine with me. 5 million hits is also cool.

DID RAPPER TIM DOG FAKE HIS OWN DEATH?

noreply@blogger.com (Snitchlady Radio Show) — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:51:04 PDT

Wenn reports that an arrest warrant has been issued for veteran rapper Tim Dog - three months after his alleged death.

The New York native, real name Timothy Blair, was a longtime diabetes sufferer and was widely reported to have passed away on February 14, following a seizure.

However, Mississippi prosecutor Steven Jubera claims he has yet to receive any proof confirming the 46 year old’s death, so he has managed to obtain a warrant for the hip-hop star’s arrest.

Jubera says, “I need proof. I need a death certificate showing that’s he’s dead because, as far as I’m concerned, he’s alive. Nobody said where he died, nobody said where he was buried, which is very odd for an obituary... At the bare minimum he would get arrested and sit in jail until his court hearing.”

The warrant relates to Blair’s 2011 conviction for grand larceny, after he confessed to targeting Ester Pilgrim for money that he claimed would be used to resurrect his music career.

He reached a plea deal to avoid a stint in jail, and was ordered to give $19,000 in restitution to his victim, but he failed to settle the debt before his passing.

Pilgrim recently voiced her suspicions about the circumstances surrounding Blair’s death, prompting Jubera to revisit the case.

By the tradition of pre-industrial societies, Will would be teaching his son the finer points of hammering pig-iron into wrought iron.

Instead, he's teaching Jaden to be a movie star. The details change, but traditions remain.

In my career, I've probably interviewed 100 children of famous people who followed their parents' careers -- from Nancy and Frank Sinatra Jr., to Kate Hudson to Josh Brolin, to the Bridges brothers, to Maxim Shostakovich, to Richard Zanuck and two of Kirk Douglas's kids (the charismatic Michael and the morose Eric, the one who ended up dying of a drug overdose).
