WORLD AIDS DAY!!!!!
Greetings, Fam!!
I come to you today acknowledging World Aids Day 2010!!! Do any of you recognize the extreme seriousness of this disease? The statistics say (and I realize that the numbers may be skewed but still....) that 13% of blacks have HIV/AIDS. That's 50% of the people living with this disease folks!!! Now, whether the number is smaller or larger is of no relevance. The fact of the matter is this cannot continue!! Its an epidemic amongst our people and we're doing it to ourselves!!! And ladies, black women are contracting this disease at a rate 20 times that of white women!!!! WTF?! Come on now......we've got to start taking care of ourselves.
The first line of defense getting tested. You need to know if you're part of the problem. Also, start protecting yourself and others! It's a must. I read somewhere that condom sales are at an all time low. WTF?!!!!! You let any ol body hit your treasure raw?! Lawd have mercy!!! We have to start recognizing the value not only of our bodies but of our lives. Seriously.......is a quick nut (if you even get one) worth your life? Shiiiiiiiiiiiittttttt......I can get a good one off all by my lonesome! IJS
Lets educate ourselves and stop spreading this KILLER!!

WHAT'S BEEF: Did Chris Brown GET PISSY With Meek Mill OVER Rihanna? + Was Chris LASHING Out At Raz B For "ALLEGEDLY" Saying He's Gay?
Chris Brown is involved in a few beefs with other industry artists right now. Get the deets on what's going on between him and Meek Mill and Raz B!
The word on the street is that Meek Mill got his verse on Chris Brown's "Don't Judge Me" dropped from the Fortune disc because Chris got pissy that Meek was hanging with Rihanna at a strip club.
Chris wasn't too pleased that Rihanna stopped by Meek Mill's party at Club Perfections last month so he bumped Meek off the disc. Over the weekend, Meek tweeted,
We shall see how this one play's out. But you know how pissy Chris can be......
And in other Chris beefs..........
Former B2K member Raz B has allegedly written a book called This Boy's Life. We say allegedly because we have not been able to verify existence of the book with the publishing company or Raz B's reps. But rumor has it that the book features explosive allegations about former B2K members (Omarion, Lil' Fizz, J Boog), Bow Wow, Ray J, Chris Stokes and Chris Brown all being gay.
On Chris the book says,
“They say you never know who knows who. Chris Brown didn’t think about that when he attacked me online. I have a friend that’s very close to Chris’ camp who told me that Chris was involved with an up and coming songwriter Andre Merritt. So when Chris started going in calling people ‘gay’ and ‘fags’ I just dropped Andre Merritt’s name. I knew it was true when he decided to shut up.”
Chris responded (his tweets were later deleted) to the alleged book saying,
If this book ever hits shelves, the fallout could be very interesting. We'll keep you posted.
Andre 3000 FILMS Jimi Hendrix Biopic + Ne-Yo & Jamie Foxx PARTY In Las Vegas
Andre 3000 is over in Dublin filming the Jimi Hendrix biopic. Get deets on the film and see Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx hosting a pool party in Las Vegas.
Andre Benjamin aka Andre 3000 (who celebrated his 38th birthday yesterday) began filming All Is by My Side, a Jimi Hendrix biopic, today in Dublin, Ireland.
Andre 3000 wants fans to be surprised by the film so he avoided photos so everything will be fresh when it hits the screen.
But when it hits the screen, don't expect to hear Jimi's original music. Apparently, the estate is not on board with the biopic. The estate released a statement saying,
"Experience Hendrix CEO Janie Hendrix, sister of Jimi Hendrix, and the EH board have not ruled out a 'biopic' in the future though producing partners would, out of necessity, have to involve the company from the inception of any such film project if it is to include original Jimi Hendrix music or composition."
Andre 3000 will likely have to record covers of all Jimi songs used in the film. But hey.....isn't that what we wanted anyway?
And in Las Vegas...........
Yesterday, Ne-Yo hosted Beach Life's Rehab Pool in the Hard Rock Hotel.
He tweeted, Chill day in my hometown Vegas, sipping @Malibu_Red at Rehab Pool. Life is good! #Compound - R.E.D 9/18/12
He also paraded around with a bevy of beauties and got the crowd hyped.
Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx was the party's other host and he also hyped the crowd.

CONCERT FAB: Bobby Brown ROCKS OUT At 30 Rock For "TODAY" Show Concert
Bobby Brown hit 30 Rock Plaza this morning for a special Memorial Day Concert on The "TODAY" Show. Watch the clips inside.....
Though his voice was not up to par, Bobby Brown put in a good faith effort this morning during a concert for The TODAY Show. He performed his new track "Don't Let Me Die" "Every Little Step" and "My Perogative."
TODAY's concert was one of his most high profile appearances on network television since the passing of Whitney Houston. During the interview with Peter Alexander, Bobby denied that his new track was about Whitney Houston saying it was about his fiancee Alicia. He added his new album is about being clean from drugs (7 years) and the blessings in his life.
He said he isn't doing reality tv now and is focused on his new album The Masterpiece.
Also, NBC correspondent Tamron Hall tweeted, Hanging with @todayshow fam this morn! The king of R&B Bobby Brown is here and his fans are already lined up waiting !!!@kingbobbybrown
