Ray J "Still Hurting" Over Whitney Houston’s Death

Ray J still keeps a photo of Whitney Houston in his phone. He says the image is helping him cope these days. “It’s just such a tough time for me,” during the Brotherhood Crusade/Mothers in Action press conference yesterday. “I’ve been through a lot in these past few weeks. I’m able to look at life in a whole different way. I always look at my phone because I got a picture of somebody I really love and it helps me through the day.” Ray J – trying to shed his reputation as the guy who filmed himself having sex with Kim Kardashian – is giving back through the Brother Crusade. He’s donated school supplies, including Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones, clothes, backpacks and notebooks via the organization. But times remain trying for the man who was dating Whitney before she died on February 12. “I’m really emotional right now and I really don’t know what to say,” he told reporters. “But I will say I love and hurt. I enjoy being around people that support me and give me a sense of peace. That’s what these kids mean to me and what the Brotherhood Crusade does for me. “The most important thing of all is that God is talking to me. God is talking to me right now, and now is the time to listen. My ears are open.”

Drake Says He’s Through With The Common Beef: Is He Taking The High Road Or Is He Being A Biggety Beeyotch?!

Drizzy don’t wanna catch a body like that…owwwwwwww Drake spoke to the good folks over at Nah Right and gave the scoop on Drake and his short feud with Common . Here’s what he had to say about that and a few other aspects of his career. So people want to know: will you respond to Common? No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a “hip hop moment” or a “battle for the sake of musical integrity”…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album. More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story. There’s a line from your “Stay Schemin” verse about Kobe’s soon to be ex-wife Vanessa that has gotten some negative attention. Can you speak to what you were trying to express with that line? That line came from a conversation about being this young and making this much money and the fear of losing it all. I just used his potential situation to address my own life. I never intended to offend Vanessa or anyone else. That line had everything to do with me and what goes on in my head as a 25 year old man with this much income flowing in. Kobe is and always will be a friend and an icon to me. Following the release of Take Care, rumors started to circulate that you had fired your entire staff, was there any truth to that? No my team is stronger than ever and ready for 2012. I’m excited for what this year will bring. So that’s the whole scoop. No diss to Vanessa. No firing of his staff. And no Common diss. Do you think he’s being the better man or he’s punking out of a battle he knows he won’t win? Sound off! More On Bossip! Which One Would You Wife?

Fatty Kat Dennings Is the Picture of the Day

Kat Dennings doesn’t seem to be a fan of me…or maybe she’s just not a fan of assholes on TWITTER calling a bitch out for being fat because guess what…the bitch is fat…I do appreciate how she became a household name that landed her a gig that landed her this award that I assume is celebrating the shit show she is on….and that was by posting her huge tits naked on the internet…but I don’t appreciate her legal team coming after me to take down the pics after she got all the publicity and exposure she wanted…cuz big tits, although everywhere, still make a motherfucker look in astonishment…and I certainly don’t appreciate that the rest of her ass caught up with her big old tits…because fat chicks are gross even with tits and willingness to whore out for attention…but not too gross for me to want to fuck…making these pics of her and her girl manhandling their trophy like it was a glass cock almost erotic…cuz fat chicks love sucking dick….and ofter times crave any attention so they tag along on cock with friends…Either way, this is a fetish pic.

The rest is here:

Shauna Sand and Her Male Prostitute of the Day

I don’t know what’s scarier…Shauna Sand and all her plastic surgery, looking like some kind of living corpse walking around in stripper clothes…..or the fact that she pays male escorts who are likely gay and from a modeling agency to escort her around like she’s some hot piece of ass they crave…mainly cuz her pussy smells like a giant asshole and she’s got a good budget and promises of paparazzi exposure…or the fact she’s a mom to daughters who will grow up with her as an role model…or the fac that she has a SEX TAPE ….that someone actually paid her to do….or the fact that I jerked off to her video… I’m thinking all are equally amazing….cuz she’s a joke, she’s a novelty act, she’s an atttention seeking whore who did playboy decades ago and she’s one my nobodies to watch fuck so I suggest you GET THE SEX TAPE HERE IF YOU WANT A GOOD TIME if you’re not a broke ass loser…..which I’m sure you are….

Angela Simmons and Her Slutty Outfit of the Day

Angela Simmon is some spoiled brat daughter in the Royal Family of hip hop…her dad is Run from Run DMC, her uncle is billion Russell Simmons, leaving her some cunt who hangs in their Miami mansion wasting time with dudes who try to fuck her to get her to give her family their demo CDs….and who really cares…. I just know she’s ALWAYS IN HER BIKINI …and I like that cuz I love white bred black chicks with unlimited funds thanks to daddy to finance my drinking….but I guess she decided to switch it up and rock some whore stockings for us perverts and that works for me. Here are the pics…

Tyga Remakes His Rack City Video Tn The Style Of The Grand Theft Auto Games [Video]

Kinda strange that Tyga’s GTA-inspired video of himself as an outlaw was released right  after he got arrested in real life. Good luck getting out sooner rather than later, homes.
