We’ve enjoyed you ladies, but your time has come and gone… In the late 90s “video models” became as big of, if not bigger, stars than the artists whose videos they were shaking their cakes in. Names like Gloria Velez, Melyssa Ford, Vida Guerra, and recently Angel Lola Luv have become household name amongst the urban/hip-hop community. Some of these women were able to take their moment in the spotlight and create other profitable opportunities for themselves, some were just happy to have the attention. In any event, life a video vixen has an expiration date, and for these ladies that date has come to pass. While we may always reminisce on the good ol’ days, it’s time that we pay tribute to these booty-bouncin’ bangers INCREDIBLE “body of work” one last time. Flip through the pages to peep some of finest attention slores that rap music has offered us over the years.
This heifer… You would think after all those months in jail and the loss of her daughter, and arguably being given a second chance at life that she shouldn’t have gotten, Casey Anthony would be doing her best to live right, right? Nope. Casey Anthony showed up to her monthly probation meeting yesterday evening and is living a typical American life: She has no money, no job, and she’s been drinking, according to the Florida Department of Corrections. As we’ve mentioned before, Anthony’s terms of probation allow her to drink alcohol, but she’s not allowed to “consume alcoholic beverages to the extent that your normal faculties are impaired.” According to the DOC, Anthony “says she did not drink to excess” and didn’t do any illegal drugs either. Although Anthony’s terms of probation stipulate that she must “work diligently at a lawful occupation,” she’s not, even though she’s been offered $500,000 to work for Larry Flynt. The DOC says she’s not attending vocational or educational classes either, so exactly WTF she’s doing is anyone’s guess. “Currently, no violations have been noted,” the DOC says. “Her probation officer continues to supervise her based on the conditions set forth by the court.” And her money problems are probably about to get worse: Casey is currently being sued by the woman who’s life has been destroyed by Casey’s lying. Disguised in sunglasses and a baseball cap, Casey Anthony was deposed Saturday for a civil lawsuit that accuses her of ruining another woman’s reputation. Attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez used videoconferencing to question Anthony, who was at an undisclosed location in Florida. John Morgan, who is representing Gonzalez, said he asked Anthony about the disappearance of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. Anthony told detectives in 2008 that Caylee had been kidnapped by a nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez. Detectives said no such baby sitter existed. Morgan’s client, who has the same name as the fictional baby sitter, has sued Anthony, claiming her reputation was ruined. Anthony answered few questions and her attorney, Charles Greene, repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment, Morgan said. The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects witnesses from being forced to incriminate themselves. “I think there were times where some of the questions irritated her,” Morgan said, pointing to questions about her mother and father, and her brother’s testimony. Morgan said Anthony tried to disguise herself by wearing a Philadelphia Phillies baseball cap and long, thick black hair that appeared to be from a wig. She also wore a large pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses, Morgan said. He described her as “not happy to be there.” She couldn’t even make up a fake name that wasn’t going to f*** her life up? Get it together, Casey. Source 1 Source 2
Does Lil Tunechi have a love thing for This Fighting Irish banger ?? It seems Lil Wayne has a new girlfriend. Weezy’s said to be stepping out with none other than Skylar Diggins, the Notre Dame women’s college basketball star. The two were apparently seen together at a WNBA game last night. …Aside from the obvious age difference (Skylar is 21 years old, Weezy is 29), is this a good match? Possibly. Skylar is certainly a superstar in the sports world, and with Wayne at her side, well, she’s even more famous. Hopefully all the attention won’t throw her off her game. This woman can play some hoops! Lil Wayne is a huge Skylar Diggins fan. Back in April 2011, shortly after Skylar put up 28 points in Notre Dame’s battle with UConn, Weezy donned her number 4 Fighting Irish jersey on stage during a concert in Indiana. Was this a gesture of romantic interest, or simply a fan being a fan? With the new report linking these two as a couple, the answer now seems pretty obvious. Skylar is definitely a banger, but we think she can do WAY better than this baby-momma machine! Source
Fawking ridiculous…SMH Last December, Williams was driving a 2010 Honda CRV on U.S. Highway 385 near Amarillo with her grown son and two grandchildren in the car. Investigators said the Honda drifted into the oncoming lane of traffic, colliding with a 2003 GMC Yukon driven by an Amarillo man. The man’s wife, Brianna “Brie” Gomez, 30, was a passenger in the SUV. Gomez was flown to Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo, where an emergency cesarean section was performed. Gomez was pronounced dead after her baby boy was delivered. The premature infant, Curran Blaec Gomez, weighed just 3 pounds at birth. He survived. He now weighs about 18 pounds. Williams’ son, Todd Williams, and his 3-year-old son were ejected from the vehicle. They were seriously injured. “While on scene Suzanne (Williams) told me that no one had been ejected from her vehicle and that everyone was extracted from the vehicle by rescue … Suzanne failed to inform me of the truth of the events that had taken place before anyone arrived on scene,” a state trooper said in an offense report obtained by the Amarillo Globe-News newspaper. Investigators determined that Williams picked up her 3-year-old grandson from the highway and placed him in a child safety seat inside her car before emergency help arrived. “All of the facts and circumstances were covered, and the grand jury determined no charges were to be brought,” said District Attorney David Green. Green told the newspaper the facts did not add up to criminal negligence. Not only were no charges brought up, but the “fine” that Senator Williams paid was a slap in the face to the victims family. A prosecutor says the Colorado state senator involved in a crash that killed a pregnant woman in the Texas Panhandle last year has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of driving on the wrong side of the road. Sen. Suzanne Williams paid a $200 fine and $68 in court costs, according to Hartley County Attorney Shane Turner. The Amarillo Globe-News reported Friday that Texas law allowed for the dismissal of two seat-belt citations against Williams. When 7NEWS contacted her at her home on Friday night, Williams did not wish to comment. “The case is over, that is not something I want to talk about,” Williams said. We bet you don’t wanna talk about it beyotch! You ought to be in prison somewhere with your lyin’ a$$!!! Source
Is this woman single-handedly bringing down the value of posh Los Angeles homes with her ‘Star Map’ shenanigans??? Her name is Linda Welton, and she was on the corner of Sunset and Carolwood Drive long before Michael Jackson arrived. She remembers well the days when he stood on a balcony of the rented chateau-style mansion and tossed autographed pillows to screaming fans. She remembers that he ordered pizzas for them and that his father, Joe Jackson, would come visiting but wouldn’t be let in. She also remembers the hordes that descended in June 2009, when Jackson died on the eve of his comeback concert tour. …A third-generation purveyor of the dishy tourist maps, Welton has good reason to be skittish. The owners of the mansion, fashion executive Hubert Guez and his wife, Roxanne, have taken her to court. The homeowners filed suit in June, calling Welton’s Star Maps business “a highly visible eyesore” and charging that she is tanking their property value. They are asking a judge for an injunction kicking the Star Maps lady off the corner. A hearing has been set for October 11 before Judge Gerald Rosenberg in Santa Monica, according to the court file. Welton’s family has sold Star Maps from the corner since the 1930s — long before such things as tour buses, paparazzi and TMZ. They survived past attempts to shut them down or make them move. And Welton has long been a Michael Jackson fan — so much so that she traveled the 90 minutes to Santa Barbara a dozen times to attend his 2005 child molestation trial. She celebrated when he was acquitted. Although she may be a nuisance to the neighbors, Melton is not a money-hungry, celeb-stalker out to harrass people. She’s stil a huge fan enraptured with MJ and his music. When speaking about the Jackson’s mansion where she sits selling her ‘Star Maps’ she says: “It came alive in a way no other place came alive through the years of map selling or that kind of thing,” she says. “It’s Tourist Central. Really, nobody lived there except Sean Connery, a while ago.” The fans came because Jackson engaged them, she said. And then there was the live music that poured out of the house every time Jackson practiced in his studio, which was often. “We all heard the music that came out from behind those walls,” Welton said. “So a lot of fans would park their cars here. They were trying to hear the music, but they didn’t really tell a whole lot of people because they didn’t want Michael to stop playing. So we had the time of our lives. This was actually the biggest thrill we’ll ever have. The music was absolutely beautiful.” The bougie a$$ white folks neighbors in the community contend that Melton is nothing but a pain in the cakes. “It is unpleasant and inconvenient to constantly be forced to navigate illegally stopped traffic in front of the plaintiffs’ home and to be daily and frequently forced to view defendant’s business activity,” the lawsuit states. The couple is trying to sell the mansion and, the lawsuit charges, Welton’s presence is hurting their chances. “The property is made unattractive,” the suit charges. “Potential buyers are bothered upon approach by the quite visible and annoying constant illegal stopping and/or parking of cars in front of the home that would otherwise be on a quiet residential street.” Melton say’s her family has been sued several times over the years. However the Supreme Court of California’s 1978 decision that ruled a city ordinance unconstitutional helped them maintain a family business that has prospered for over 40 years. What do you think of Ms. Melton and her business? Is she infringing on the rights of the the homeowners in the neighborhood or just living the American dream?? Source
DWade is normally smiling, happy, and congenial, what the HELL happened?!? Not even the presence of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony could move the sides closer to an NBA labor agreement yesterday. And it may have moved them further apart in the cordiality department. Wade shouted at commissioner David Stern during the lowlight of a tempestuous five-hour negotiation that nearly ended the proceedings prematurely. The talks produced no deal and could have created ill feelings stemming from the Wade incident. Stern holds grudges. Players Association executive director Billy Hunter Jr. said he does not expect an agreement by this weekend. A person debriefed on the meeting confirmed Wade got ticked off when Stern, during his spiel, started pointing his finger at Wade. “Don’t point your finger at me,” the Heat superstar screamed at Stern. “I’m not a child.” ESPN reported Wade, James and Anthony threatened to leave the talks early before Hunter talked them into staying another hour. “There are times when it’s contentious,” union president Derek Fisher said, without referring to a specific incident. “Guys are very passionate about their opinions. There are also times you really talk and show the type of professional respect. When you have as much at stake as we all do, you have to expect some ups and downs within the meetings.” Seems to us like there are way more “downs” than “ups”. According to reports the two sides are nowhere near reaching an agreement and if there are hard feelings and yelling then it doesn’t appear that anything productive can be accomplished. Joining Wade, James and Anthony were superstars Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, and they all were vocal. The owners had 10 of the 12 members of their negotiating com mittee, including Knicks owner James Dolan, on hand plus Miami owner Mickey Arison. “It helps the process to have [owners] hear di rectly from their franchise players who mean most to our game,” Fisher said. “We encourage our guys to speak and express their thoughts and ask questions. That’s what they do when they come in the room.” Fisher held a press conference flanked by about 15 of the players, but only he spoke. The players looked less than happy to be there. Anthony will miss today’s powwow as he heads to Winston Salem, N.C., to play in a charity game with Paul. Several players are expected, but it is unknown if Wade will return. We just need these guys (owners AND players!) to get their lives together and reach an agreement so we can have basketball this winter! Source
Ladies, if you ever at any point thought Isaiah Mustafa was in any way sexy, be prepared for that to stop today. During an interview on E! News last night, promo-hoeing for his guest appearance on that new Charlie’s Angels Show, Isaiah was asked if he was dating, which, naturally, lead to questions about what kind of woman he wants. Among the qualities he listed were good hair. At which point Giuliana Rancic asked if the hair had to be real… which already makes Isaiah a damn fool for making this comment in that kind of a setting. But his answer to that question though? “Yes, it does have to be real hair. I want my kids to have nice hair so she better have good hair. Cause, I don’t know if you’ve checked my hair out lately. Aside from today it’s normally nice. Today it’s slightly nappy.” Really? SMDH Source
SMDH. So much for this girl being his once chance at life . Jesse James and Kat Von D have split, yet again — and this time it appears it’s for good, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. “They are done, through and through finished, split, game over,” a source close to the situation says. “They are both confident that they won’t be giving it another go. It’s the end of the road for them. “I think it just fizzled out between them. They were hot and heavy to start, but once the sexual attraction started waning there wasn’t really anything left to sustain a relationship. “Also, Kat didn’t really want to relocate to Austin from LA and neither of them really had the commitment to make a long distance relationship work. Kat seemed to confirm the split on her Facebook page Saturday. In a post entitled “ODDS and ENDS” the tattoo artist wrote: I’m sure this will be the most “uneventful” blog I have ever written – but its purpose is simply to answer a lot of the reoccurring questions I’ve been getting asked lately – and I’m hoping this will answer them for you. “I think maybe the final episode of LA Ink left things a bit confusing to some. So in a nutshell here goes: 1. I am not in any way moving to Texas. I am not opening up another tattoo shop. And I am not leaving my shop here in Los Angeles, High Voltage Tattoo. 2. I am not in a relationship. (And I apologize for all the “back and forth” if it’s caused any confusion) 3. I am in no way retiring – (what does that even mean anyway???) 4. My tattoo shop is not closing, and is open for business like always! (Same goes for my art gallery, Wonderland – next door to High Voltage Tattoo.) 5. As hard as it is to sometimes let go of the things you are so accustomed to doing, I am happy to have done LA Ink, but am even more excited about new upcoming ventures – and cant wait to eventually share more about this with you all!” Please disappear now. Thanks. Source
SMH… via NYPost.com : Rwandan President Paul Kagame is living in luxury during the United Nations General Assembly, staying in the $16,000-per-night presidential suite at the Mandarin Oriental. Kagame’s rooms have “panoramic views of Central Park, the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline,” says the hotel’s Web site. Rwanda’s average annual income last year was $1,150, according to the World Bank. Kagame, whose reps didn’t get back to us, is one of many world leaders with spending sprees on their UN agendas, despite the dismal global economic climate. Saudi leaders are at The Plaza, sources said, and a group of them headed to the hotel’s Warren-Tricomi salon yesterday for grooming. N***as, boy…
