Octomom Nadya Suleman made another startling claim today, accusing her former fertility doctor, Michael Kamrava, of having her sign crucial paperwork she was “not lucid” and under the influence of “valium and a cocktail of drugs.” So she claims, anyway. In a talk with Dr. Drew Thursday, Octomom said she was not of sound mind when she signed a consent form for 12 embryos to be implanted inside her. One thing led to another, and she had eight babies in January 2009. Nadya Suleman claims Kamrava “wrote something [and] he gave it to me to sign” inside his Beverly Hills office before the procedure was completed. “I signed it, and I didn’t read it,” Suleman said, adding tha

All we can say is PREACH! Writer and MSNBC contributor has drawn some criticism for her outspoken criticism of Washington politics as usual and crooked azz Corporate America during an interview Wednesday. Taylor was asked about the catastrophic effect of the recession on minorities and she went IN on the folks she feels are responsible: “Catastrophic is right, you know. If you look at African-american and Hispanic households, fully a third of them report zero wealth. Not even a dollar in positive wealth. A lot of that wealth was tied up in the homes that they spent more than 75% of their income either buying or maintaining, and so when those homes were taken away, the wealth went with it. “If you put on top of that affordable health care and access to health insurance, then, you know, most of the bankruptcies in this country, especially from black and brown people, are driven because of health care costs, and so when you ask yourself what has happened to black and brown Americans, I can tell you what happened to them. “Corporate America happened to them. People who are, you know, literally raping these people over medical costs, exorbitant medical costs and then to turn around and swipe the homes that they worked their lives to build, you know, over some subprime lending issues. So I think that we ought to re-examine our priorities as a country and re-examine how to go forward. I don’t think that’s the America we’re banking on, the America we all believe in.” Sounds about right to us. You can watch the interview below:

‘Britney is one of my favorite performers and certainly one of this generation’s most influential artists,’ ‘Jersey Shore’ star says. By Jocelyn Vena “Jersey Shore” star DJ Pauly D Photo: Tom Briglia/ FilmMagic A while back, there was a rumor that “Jersey Shore” star DJ Pauly D would be an opening act on Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale tour . That rumor can now be confirmed as true. Pauly D will open for the singer on six of her August tour dates. He’s set to hit the road with Spears on August 17 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, before his jaunt with her wraps on August 25 in Charlotte, South Carolina. “I am so excited to be performing on the Britney Spears Femme Fatale tour,” he said in a statement. “Britney is one of my favorite performers and certainly one of this generation’s most influential artists. It’s an amazing platform to connect with my fans around the country.” Spears currently has several artists opening for her, including Jessie and the Toy Boys, Nervo and Nicki Minaj. Pauly D served as Spears’ warm-up act at her gig in Las Vegas in March, where he spoke to MTV News about her influence on pop music . “What it means to DJ a concert like a Britney Spears concert or something like that, it’s an association with monsters like Britney Spears and it just legitimizes your career,” he explained at the Palms Hotel and Casino, where Spears electrified the stage just days before she dropped her album. “And it’s just fun being onstage with Britney Spears performing like she’s performing. I love it. I couldn’t ask for more.” And if fans are expecting Pauly to DJ some of the singer’s greatest hits, they’d better think again. “A DJ should not play the artist’s songs at her concert ’cause she has to perform these songs,” he said. “I’m not going to be playing any Britney before she performs; maybe after. I’ll let her perform, let her shine ’cause it’s her night.” DJ Pauly D will join Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale tour on the following dates:
Anyone taking bets on which gets fixed first the nation debt ceiling of the NFL collective bargaining agreement. President Barack Obama said Friday night that House Speaker John Boehner was “walking away” from negotiations to raise the nation’s debt ceiling and avert financial catastrophe. Still, Obama said he was expecting congressional leaders from both parties at the White House Saturday morning. In a dramatic appearance in the White House briefing room Obama said it was up to the Republican leaders to explain to him how they intend to avoid the default that is threatened after Aug. 2. “I expect them to have an answer in terms of how they intend to get this thing done in the course of the next week. The American people expect action,” Obama said. Boehner, in a letter circulated to the House Republican rank and file, said he had withdrawn from the talks with Obama because “in the end, we couldn’t connect. He said he would turn instead to negotiations with leaders of the Senate, which is controlled by majority Democrats. The disconnect in the talks with the White House, Boehner said, was “not because of different personalities, but because of different visions for our country. The talks had veered uncertainly for weeks, generating reports as late as Thursday that the two sides were possibly closing in on an agreement to cut $3 trillion in spending and add as much as $1 trillion in possible revenue while increasing the government’s borrowing authority of $2.4 trillion. If we didn’t know any better we’d say that republicans are just doing whatever they can to be in opposition to whatever the POTUS would like to do. Source

Even the terrorists aren’t safe from hackers! The following message was sent out early today from the phone of a Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid: “Leadership council of IEA (Islamic emirate of Afghanistan) announces that Ameer-ul-Mumineen (Mullah Omar) has passed away. May mighty God bless him.” According to AFP, Mujahid shot back, saying “We strongly reject this claim. We are not aware of such news. Americans have hacked our cellphones with advanced technology and sent the message to the media.” The Taliban in Afghanistan insisted Wednesday that their leader Mullah Mohammed Omar was alive, saying a text message and Internet posting announcing his death were fake. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told The Associated Press that the early morning announcement about Mullah Omar was the result of a hack. “He is overseeing operations in the country,” Mujahid told The Associated Press. “Outsiders must have hacked into Taliban phones and the website.” Mujahid blamed U.S. intelligence agencies, saying they were trying “to demoralize the Taliban.” Mullah Omar has led the decade-long insurgency against the U.S.-led military coalition and the Afghan government of President Hamid Karzai. He ruled most of Afghanistan as leader of its Taliban government before the United States and its allies invaded on Oct. 7, 2001, in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Does it strike anyone else as strange that the AP is taking statements from the Taliban??? Particularly about folks trying to “demoralize” them? SMH… So much for the “war on terror.” Source Source 2
Imagine receiving a phone call from 50 Cent and he tells you, “Quit. You don’t need to work anymore.” This was reality for Hot Rod who signed with G-Unit Records in 2006. He went from the real estate business to making records with greats like Mary J. Blige almost overnight. Sounds like a dream come true for most of us, but Hot Rod learned that being apart of a major label does not guarantee success. After a few ups and downs, Hot Rod began touring Europe where he took notice to the impact dance music had on the club scene. He immediately embraced the sound and went right into the studio and unveiled a new sound; his own spin of urban hip-hop mixed in with dance. I @ itsJazzyFBaby recently spoke with Hot Rod about his new sound, G-Note Records, acting and more. What was it about dance music that pulled you in? I was touring overseas, I hit over 20 countries in three and a half years, and I was partying, and I’ve never partied like that in my life. I was accustomed to going to Hip-Hop clubs and Top 40 clubs, but a lot of clubs I was performing in overseas in Europe, they have dance DJs, house Djs, electro, so it kind of brought me into that world. After I performed, DJ’s would play that music all night and people would just be wildin’ out. At first, I was a little uncomfortable, but then it just got so comfortable as the nights went on. It just took me over; I really got into that scene. So when I started recording, it started coming out in the music. I wanted to experiment with that type of sound. It’s really where the music has gone now. You look at Top 40, you see Britney, Jennifer Lopez, The Black Eyed Peas, and not the type of records that are getting spun over there on the house and dance tip. Did you think the hip hop world would embrace your new sound? Yeah. When you go to any club now, even a Hip-Hop club, they’re going to have sets where they’re playing the pop music, because the Top 10 in the country is pop music. I think it’s all been blended together; it’s not segregated anymore. I listen to all types of music, and I think everyone has combined music tastes now. Were you afraid that you may lose some of your current fans? When I first put the record out, I knew that they were going to be confused, because the production is so different from the previous production that I was laying tracks over. Of course they’re going to raise some eyebrows. But a lot more people were accepting it. You’re a rap artist so why sign with G-Note? It came about with the new sound. G-Note Records was already established, but there were just no artists. 50 established that because G-Unit Records and the camp G-Unit (the actual group) the marketing behind that kind of blurred the lines between G-Unit the group and G-Unit Records. G-Unit the group is straight hardcore-gangster-shoot-em-up. But G-Unit records is a company. So when they say Olivia just signed to G-Unit Records, everyone thinks that she was in the group. It would have made more sense if G-Note was intact. He has a new label called G-Note for R&B singers and other genres of music. When I introduced the new sound to him, it only made sense to launch the label with that sound so they want be confused. As soon as you see G-Unit artists are doing pop music, the people are going to say, “What?!” That’s going to confuse the mind. So it just made more sense to put me on the G-Note side. I’m the first artist on G-Note, and Governor is also signed. Are you gearing up for a 2011 album release? Yeah, the single is heating up. There’s definitely not a date, but we’re looking at the fall. Currently the single is on the Billboard Dance/Club chart at number 30 and on the Billboard Dance/Club Airplay chart, it’s at number 24. What producers are you working with on this album? I’ve got my in-house guys — they go by ‘Out the Box’. Definitely working with Magneto; he co-produced with Havoc on Eminem’s last album. And now he’s doing some work with Ludacris. He’s up-and-coming now. I’ve been working with him for a long time. And now I’m working with some of the big house producers like David Guetta and DJ Chucky. Can we expect any major feature artist? I’m sure it’s going to be some big names, but right now I’m building the foundation. At this time, I don’t have any huge features. I have 50 on a couple records obviously. They are spaces for big name features to be on there. But as of now, they’re not. Of course I would love to have an Akon or someone of that caliber on the album. But as of now, it’s just me and some unsigned features. Do you plan on doing any acting? Yeah, I have a couple of scripts from 50. He did that 10 movie deal with Lionsgate. So I definitely have some scripts in my hand and you’ll see me in a couple of those films. I’m real excited. That’s why it feels good to have a boss like 50 Cent whose head is in so many different things. It makes it a little easier to transition into these situations, because he’s already been through. Would you say taking on a new sound was a good idea? If you don’t change with the time, you might as well kill yourself. Because the music is going to keep moving. Either you stay and get left, or you can progress. It was a process. It actually took three and a half years for me to get into my new sound. It makes sense. It’s definitely worth it.
