Mariah Carey ties knot with Nick Cannon

Songstress Mariah Carey, 37, got secretly hitched to 27-year old boyfriend, Nick Cannon, shocking her family and the entire music industry. The love-crazed odd-couple have only been together for about a month, but insiders say they are head over heels.

"They have been smitten with each other for days, weeks... and she's always had a crush on him." A source close to the couple told the NY Post.

Nick Cannon has been linked to Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, and R&B singer Christina Milian. This is Carey’s second marriage, who took her first walk down the aisle with Music Mogul Tommy Mottola.

I actually think they make a nice couple. Let’s all just hope they don’t mix business with pleasure, I don’t think we can all withstand the psychological stress of watching a Glitter 3.

Grand Theft Auto 4 hits the streets

Grand Theft Auto 4 finally hit the streets on Tuesday, quickly becoming a must-have for all gaming enthusiasts. Retailers like GameStop and Best Buy, accepted advanced orders for the game, adding up to $400 million in record-breaking first week sales. The controversial game features sex, money, drugs and violence, every parent’s worst-nightmare.

Fans lined up for hours just to be the first to get their hands on the game. Elvis and Manny from Harlem waited for hours in front of Best Buy in Chelsea, and from their accounts, it was worth every minute.

"This game features everything I love about life; sex, money and drugs! I would wait 24 hours standing on my head if I have to." Stated Manny.

It might mean a little more to some than others, but bottom line this is the game of the year. Actually, I'm playing it as we speak…Over and out.

NY Republicans threaten to impeach Gov. Spitzer

State Republicans have threatened to impeach New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, if he does not resign over a report linking him to a prostitution ring. Questions are being raised over whether he could face criminal charges.

"The payments were made over a period of several months in a way that investigators believe was intended to conceal their purpose and source, which could amount to a crime called structuring," punishable by up to five years in prison, the NY Times said.

Man...He did all of this just for a little sexual seduction? Spitzer has embarrassed himself and the Democratic party. The man is currently holed up in his Manhattan home, he needs to put an end to this circus immediately. Wasn't the look on his wife's face at the press conference priceless?...

Top 10 Eliot Spitzer excuses:

Pending Gov. Spitzer's imminent resignation, Lt. Governor David Patterson, is next in line to succeed as Governor, making him New York's first Black Governor.

That's a great first to get out of the way, come on it's 2008. A Black Governor and a Black President? It's been long overdue. More information on this as soon as Spitzer mans up and resigns.

Gov. Spitzer named in International Prostitution-ring

Governor Eliott Spitzer, has been linked to an international prostitution ring, in a bombshell revelation, that has the entire City calling for his resignation.

The Governor released a very brief public statement, in which he apologizes to his wife and family, but more interestingly, Spitzer never took the time to deny the charges. Spitzer, a married father of three, is believed to be 'Client 9' named in a federal indictment last week, as a nymph, who paid $4,400 for a night with a prostitute on February 13th, in Washington D.C.

Pope: Hottest ticket in town

You think getting tickets to the SuperBowl was impossible? Try getting your hands on a pair of tickets to see Pope Benedict XVI's mass in Yankee Stadium, on April 20th.

There are 58,000 tickets available. The only way to obtain them is through your local parishes. Count me out I guess..I guarantee you one of these tickets will end up on e-bay.

Russell Simmons vs. Eliot Spitzer

Hip-Hop mogul, Russell Simmons, is making his anger towards Gov. Spitzer very public. Simmons is teed off about promises the Governor made before getting elected, that have yet to see the light of day.

“Not only will I campaign against him," Simmons said over the phone. "I’m going to campaign for a change in those laws and he is going to have to stand up and explain why he promised the state of New York that he is going to make this change and when he got in office, he pushed it to the side.”

“We know Eliot Spitzer has to be our target," he added.

The law Mr. Simmons is referring to is the Rockefeller Drug Law, which Simmon's think is hurting minorities more than ever with harsh drug sentences for even first time offenders. Simmons has been campaigning to reform the Rockefeller Drug Laws for Years! We were even in attendance at the Reform summit held by Russell Simmons and The Hip-Hop Action Summit Network, a few years back.

This is going to get interesting. I know a whole lot of people who are dying to hear the Governor's response. [Source]
