Comment: Good Morning Folks...Here are some blind items for you...
BLIND ITEM #1 by Sin-Q
This washed up R&B singer has been depressed, getting drunk and doing drugs on a regular basis. Family and friends are wondering, what caused this sudden change in his behavior? Answer: he recently found out that an ex-boyfriend (another R&B singer) tested positive for HIV and he's devastated. He won't get tested because he is afraid of what the results may be. Instead, he is on a self-destruction path with no end in sight.
BLIND ITEM #2 by Algiers
She married the man of her dreams, at least she thought she did. An persistent family member was not happy about the nupitals and tried everything in their power to break the couple up but the beaming bride was too much in love to care. Nothing the family member instigated or said made a difference. She was sticking by her husband, no matter what. That would all change when the family member hired a private detective to trail the husband. The detective videotaped some very damaging scenes. When the bride returned home that evening, the family member showed her the tape of her husband passionately kissing a man in the doorway of an apartment building. She got out of the marriage the next day.

Comment: Tebucky Jones Seeks To Evict His Mother
NEW BRITAIN -- Tebucky Jones, a New England Patriots football star and former New Britain High School standout, is trying to evict his mother from a condominium he bought for her.
Jones filed a complaint in Superior Court in June. He claims his mother, Maryann Jones, is not paying rent.
"He belongs in the hall of shame, not the hall of fame," Maryann Jones said Thursday at the Plainville condo.
Tebucky Jones, 31, could not be reached for comment. Attorneys for both parties did not respond to messages.
Maryann Jones had appeared in New Britain Housing Court earlier in the day and claimed that she made all her rent payments. The housing court case was continued to Aug. 24.
Tebucky used to be generous with the money he earned playing football, said his sister Shanequa Jones, 27, who lives at the condo and is also being evicted. But he's stopped speaking with her, her mother and her brother James in recent years, she said.
"He couldn't look at my face [in court]," Shanequa said. "It was the first time I've seen him in 2½ years."
Tebucky Jones bought his mother Unit 33 of the Old Mill condo development on Pierce Street in April 1999, according to land records in Plainville Town Hall. Those records indicate that he then gave her the property, through a quit-claim deed, in December 2002.
A mother of five, Maryann Jones has a history of drug and other legal problems. In February 1998, she was sentenced to 30 months in prison for selling crack cocaine to police informants. Prior to her sentencing, Tebucky Jones, who was then a senior at Syracuse University, offered to pay any fine, or do community service, to keep his mother out of prison.
After getting the condo, Maryann Jones accumulated debt and bills, according to records in court and town hall. In a letter in the housing court file, she writes of how she was unable to work after being diagnosed with several illnesses, including breast cancer, an active thyroid and palsy.

Comment: She had trouble with creditors, including the condo association, the town of Plainville and Connecticut Light & Power. The town and the condo association at various times put liens on the property for unpaid charges and fees, but she paid them, and those liens were withdrawn.
In December 2004, Maryann Jones took out a $61,000 mortgage on the condo. According to court documents, she did so to pay off her debt.
But she defaulted on the mortgage, and last August the mortgage company, EMC Mortgage Corp. of Texas, initiated foreclosure. When her other son, James Jones, found out, he offered to buy the condo, according to court records. But Tebucky insisted on buying it, Maryann Jones' letter states.
Maryann Jones signed the deed for the condo back to Tebucky Jones, for no money, in January 2006. It is unclear whether the mortgage on the property has been paid.
Tebucky Jones claimed his mother had agreed to pay $115 rent every month but stopped doing so in January. In June, he issued a legal notice ordering her to leave the condo by June 21.
Maryann Jones declined Thursday to discuss the situation.
Shanequa Jones said Thursday that Tebucky talked their mother into signing the deed over by saying he would take care of the condo and pay for everything.
"My mother trusted him and thought her son was trying to help her get out of debt," said Shanequa Jones. "Basically he's trying to put my mother out on the street. My mother is sick and you're doing all of this?"
Jones was a first-round draft pick by the Patriots in 1998 and played with the team for five seasons. He then played for the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins, and returned to the Patriots this year, three years after he signed a five-year, $18.75 million contract with the New Orleans Saints. He played last season for the Miami Dolphins.

Comment: Word in the industry is that Lil Kim has recently been dropped from her record company Atlantic. This comes from a very reliable source who has had a hand in the business deals that have popped off due to her getting dropped. There's no word as to why she was dropped, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had to do with her record sales while in lockdown. As for which company is going to scoop the Queen Bee--that's still undecided for now. And plenty of companies are putting in bids to sway her their way. But of course, all this is still supposed to be on the hush hush.

Comment: Rihanna Refuses To Flesh It Out For Photoshoots.... Modest Rihanna refuses to wear skimpy clothes for videos and photoshoots because she's determined to impress with her music alone - just like her idol Alicia Keys.
The Barbados-born R&B star recently turned down a cover shoot for German magazine when she learned editors wanted her to go topless for the session.
She says, "I don't like to wear things (that are) too skimpy... If I do shorts on the bottom, it's gotta be something very conservative at the top.
If it's skimpy at the top, it's gotta be long jeans or something.
"I like to balance it out. I won't do short shorts and short top.
"That's what I admire so much about Alicia Keys. She became so successful off of just her music. She was really conservative about her style at first".

Comment: Teen Filmmaker’s Updated ‘Doll Test’ Reaps Same Sad Results Decades Later
Date: Tuesday, August 08, 2006
By: Jackie Jones, BlackAmericaWeb.com
A 17-year-old high school student from New York City is making waves with a short documentary that looks at the self-images of black teenaged girls and includes an exercise similar to the famous doll test from the late 1940's that played a key role in the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that outlawed segregation in public schools.
It started out as a school project for “black girls to see the world through our eyes,” said Kiri Davis, who produced “A Girl Like Me,” a seven-minute documentary that has won acclaim at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival, the Silverdocs festival in Silver Spring, Md., and has won the Diversity Award from Media that Matters, a nonprofit Internet group that screens films about social issues.
In the course of the project, Davis told BlackAmericaWeb.com, “Standards of beauty kept coming up. So we started from there.”
In the film, four teenaged girls talk about what they believe society thinks of black women and how they and their peers wrestle with these notions and images imposed upon them.
One girl said black women were perceived as “loud, obnoxious -- ghetto.”
Supposedly, “we’re not smart,” another girl says.
The light-skinned/dark-skinned conflict, straight vs. kinky hair conflicts that many Baby Boomer black Americans thought were left behind after the ‘60s and ‘70s clearly are still at play.
“I just wanted to bring more awareness and more discussion to the issue,” Davis said.

Comment: One part of the film that has lots of people talking is the re-creation of the doll test that psychologist Kenneth B. Clark used in the landmark Brown vs. Board of Education case.
Individually, 21 four- and five-year-olds from a Harlem day-care center sat at a table with two dolls, one black, one white. Fifteen of the 21 children selected the white doll as the “nice” doll and the black doll as the “bad” doll. In one scene, Davis asks a girl to choose which doll was most like her. She hesitates a bit, touches both dolls, then pushes the black doll forward.
In another scene, however, a black boy is asked which doll he would most like to play with, and he gleefully holds up the black doll.
“The few kids that didn’t pick the white doll (as good) appeared not to be American, but children of immigrants or first-generation children from the Caribbean or Africa,” said Shola Lynch, a documentary filmmaker who was Davis’ mentor for the project.
“They have a different sense of themselves because of the country they come from,” Lynch told BlackAmericaWeb.com. “You see (black) people at the top and the bottom and everywhere in between.”

Comment: Jay-Z looses his cool. Jiggaman ain't likely to get %*$!ed at anything. Dude is just too cool for school. How many cats would appear so composed while Beyonce is gyrating next to them and grabbing onto their waste, no matter what routinely happens behind the scenes. But Hov momentarily got annoyed during the conference at the UN earlier this week. The God emcee got heated when a reporter asked him whether Rocawear clothes "still were" manufactured in a Honduras sweat shop. Jigga quickly slammed his question, assuring that the brand was never made in sweat shops. The Brooklyn lyricist appeared highly aggravated when answering the following questions.

Comment: Tyra Banks was spotted today sneaking into the Grove, a Los Angeles outdoor shopping center, wearing just a robe. She resembled a prizefighter entering the ring as she leaned on someone while they walked around. If that's not odd enough, what happened once she got into Borders was even more bizarre.
After she walked into the popular bookstore, she shed her shy persona and began to dance around in a skimpy black outfit. Shaking her head this way and that, the daytime talk show host let loose for a bevy of cameras.
Maybe Stephen King has a new hardcover coming out and she couldn't contain her literary excitement. Or maybe she was shooting a segment for her show about the wild ways of bookstore employees. Only Tyra knows for sure.

Comment: FROM PEREZ HILTON: When did Beyonce start sucking hard all of a sudden?
Deja Vu was the most uninspired single since Janet Jackson's Call On Me and now Miz Bootylicious is following her tepid song with another boring single off her upcoming album, B Day.
The second offering is Ring The Alarm, which should be titled Signal The End Of Beyonce's Career. The song is so unoriginal and sad.
We don't mean to be harsh, but the music speaks for itself. And it makes our ears bleed.
We miss the old Beyonce! Back when she was good!
Judge for yourself.
What are your thoughts on Ring The Alarm?

Comment: Lil Kim would have been dropped from her label if not for having superstar status due to her outlandish image. She really sucks to me. Beyonce's new song Ring the alarm is...like you ylawdY I'm reserving judgment. To me, she sounds fake on the record. Like she's pretending to be someone she's not and it comes off phony. I could sooooooooooooo see Monica tearing up that song. Swizz beats should have given that to her.

Comment: I maybe in the minority when I say this but I LIKE Beyonce's Deja Vu. And the I think young black girls feel the way they do is because of their parents. All that Light vs. dark, straight vs. kinky etc. For some odd reason we love to degrade each other. We call each other names like darky, smokey, ashey, bones, nappy head, napps, big nose, big lips, fat so etc. I think we pass this crap down from generation to generation. How many times has someone (Older black person) said to you "You sound like a white person", just because you are speaking well.

Comment: I read an excellent, sobering and somewhat disturbing story in the July 31 edition of ESPN The Magazine by my colleague, Tom Farrey. It was called "The Man," and it centered around 13-year-old hoop prodigy, J-Mychal Reese.
Reese, or J-Mike as he's known, is ranked as the best sixth-grader in America. That statement in itself should stun us.
Number one, how in the world could you ever know who the best sixth-grader in the country is? And, really, does it matter? I played with cats who were studs in the sixth grade, bench warmers by ninth grade and watching the real ballers from the stands by 11th grade. Honestly, in my experience, some of the best college athletes I grew up with were goofy and uncoordinated when we were little boys. I had a friend who got a full football scholarship to Louisville as a tailback who never even played football -- organized or otherwise -- until high school. I had a friend who got a full ride as a DB to Boston College who couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time when we were kids (sorry Brian, but you know it's true).
Some guys are full-grown men in ninth grade, so of course, they're ripping through those who are still growing. When I played freshman football at 5-2, 105 pounds, we had fullbacks and lineman that I thought were huge. Yet when we graduated, I was the same size as many of them. That leads me to a sad sidebar that accompanied Farrey's story. It told the tale of 16-year-old has-been, Demetrius Walker. A has-been at 16? At least in some people's eyes. Walker, who was featured in Sports Illustrated as a burly eighth grader who threw down 360 dunks over his scrawny foes, has dropped from America's top player in his age group to No. 29. First of all, No. 29 ain't bad. But secondly, Demetrius seems to feel like a loser because of his fall. Seemingly stuck at 6-3, he's hoping to grow a few more inches -- as if 6-3 is too small to play pro. My advice, Demetrius? Work on your J, your handle, your passing, and do the best you can to develop some court vision, and 6-3 will be plenty tall enough. Number two, why is a 13-year-old in the sixth grade? I started high school at 13. Granted, I started school early, but still, sixth grade? No wonder dude -- who was held back a year to exploit his hoop skills (apparently, that's the new trend) -- looks like Michael Jordan.

Comment: In all seriousness, I'm sure J-Mike's got game, but my problem with the whole scenario is that he could be set up to fail. His whole life seems to center around making the NBA, which is a long shot for even the most talented teen. So if he's just "all-state" as a high school senior, where's his self-esteem going to be? Beyond that, these kids are getting way too much pub way too early. How can they be coached properly when everyone's telling them they're already NBA-material by age 12 or 13? A coach, whether AAU or high school, can't bench such a prospect for failing to share the ball, failing to "get after it" on defense, for taking bad shots, or for having a bad attitude. The prospect will leave and go elsewhere, or have the coach fired. When you're 13 and getting that type of hype, you don't get coached; you allow people to coach you. There's a big difference.

Comment: In a symbolic changing of the guard, the Chicago Urban League appointed the communications director to Gov. Rod Blagojevich as its new president and CEO on Wednesday, making her the first woman to lead the 90-year-old social service and civil rights organization.
Cheryle Jackson, deputy chief of staff for communications for the governor, will begin her tenure Oct. 1, succeeding James Compton, who announced his retirement last year after more than three decades in the post.
Jackson expects to leave her $124,000-a-year job within the next two weeks, but she did not disclose her new salary.
Established in 1916 to eliminate racial discrimination and advocate equal opportunity for African-Americans, the Chicago chapter of the National Urban League boasts 8,000 members and is recognized as one of the strongest chapters in the nation.
Compton, 67, has been an Urban Leaguer and civil rights activist for more than half of his life, but Jackson, 41, described herself as largely a beneficiary of the civil rights movement who said she has felt called to action in recent years.
"We benefited from the increased educational and economic opportunities that our civil rights leaders and our parents fought for," Jackson said, recounting a conversation with a friend during a news conference at the organization's headquarters. "What are we going to use our skills for? Do we use those skills to help heal our community? If we do, when? I came to this epiphany that the time for me is now."
Jackson was selected from a list of eight candidates drawn from a nationwide pool of about 35 compiled by the executive search firm Russell Reynolds Associates, according to Thomas Patrick, president and CEO of Peoples Energy and chairman of the Chicago Urban League. Of the finalists, two others also were women, he said.
"The board is confident that Cheryle Jackson is the optimal candidate to lead our organization," Patrick said. "We had some candidates who were extremely capable, but she had the passion."
Jackson is coming to the organization at a time when it is refocusing its attention on bringing "African-Americans into the economic mainstream," Patrick said.
Compton, who has led the league for 34 years, said he pushed for a woman to succeed him.
"The organization espouses and purports to be inclusionary. It was just my sense that when the annals of history are written it would be well for this organization to have demonstrated leadership in inclusion within its first 100 years."
Born in Chicago and raised in Memphis, Jackson graduated from Northwestern University with an art degree in 1988. She joined the Blagojevich administration in 2003 as communications director and chief press secretary, becoming the first woman and African-American to hold the position in the state's history.

Comment: Before that appointment, she spent two years in senior government affairs positions with Amtrak, first as regional vice president of government and public affairs and later as national director of state and local government affairs. She also has worked for National Public Radio in several roles, including vice president of communications and brand management.
Jackson said she sought the Urban League job because she thought it was time to answer what she described as a "calling in my life."
She noted that despite the gains made during the civil rights era, there are still disparities in education, income and health that need attention.
The Chicago area ranks as the fifth most residentially segregated metropolitan area by race in the United States, according to a recent Urban League study, "Still Separate, Unequal: Race, Place, Policy and the State of Black Chicago."
Of the city's 15 most impoverished neighborhoods in 1999, the report says, 14 were disproportionately black and 11 were at least 94 percent black. The area also ranks fourth in black-white school segregation, the report said.
In her first public remarks as president-elect, Jackson urged "the men and women from my generation" to join the league to help uplift those African-Americans who have been left behind.
State Sen. James Meeks, who attended the news conference, said Jackson's appointment marked "a great day for Chicago."
"She set the tone herself when she said that her generation has benefited from the struggle, but is not a part of the struggle," he said. "This signifies empowerment for that generation."

Comment: A 17-month-old girl was accidentally run over and killed by her aunt outside her south suburban Chicago Heights home, police said today.
Elana Villareal suffered head trauma when hit by the front end of her 22-year-old aunt's Chrysler Concorde shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday in the 200 block of East 24th Street.
Elana was taken to St. James Hospital in Olympia Fields, where she was pronounced dead at 3:51 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
When the aunt pulled up near her niece's home, a group of children ran to the car, with three of them getting in to be taken for snacks at a nearby store, said Lt. Michael Pauley of the Chicago Heights Police Department.
At that point, the aunt told the other children standing around the car to step away so she could pull out, Pauley said.
As she began to drive off, she felt a "thump," got out of the car and discovered she had run over the toddler.
The lieutenant said he believes Elana might have followed the children before getting in front of the car.
Although the aunt will probably be ticketed for the mishap, she will not face criminal charges. The Cook County state's attorney's office decided not to charge her because she was not driving recklessly, Pauley said.
"She (the aunt) could not see the kid over the hood of her car," he said. "This was an accident, plain and simple."

Comment: With tensions rising and the police department and municipal budget stretched thin, Hazleton is about to embark on one of the toughest crackdowns on illegal immigrants anywhere in the United States.
Last week the mayor of this former coal town introduced, and the City Council tentatively approved, a measure that would revoke the business licenses of companies that employ illegal immigrants; impose $1,000 fines on landlords who rent to illegal immigrants; and make English the official language of the city.
"Illegal immigrants are destroying the city," said Mayor Lou Barletta, a Republican. "I don't want them here, period."
Barletta said he had no choice but to act after two illegal immigrants from the Dominican Republic were charged last month with shooting and killing a 29-year-old man. Other recent incidents involving illegal immigrants have rattled this city 80 miles northwest of Philadelphia, including the arrest of a 14-year-old boy for firing a gun at a playground.
"This is crazy," the mayor said. "People are afraid to walk the streets. There's going to be law and order back in Hazleton, and I'm going to use every tool I possibly can."
The City Council, which approved the measure in a 4-1 vote, must vote on it twice more before it can become law. The next vote is scheduled for mid-July.
When Barletta took office in 2000, Hispanics represented about 5 percent of the city's population of 23,000. The population has since shot up to 31,000, with Hispanics now representing 30 percent, lured to Hazleton by cheap housing, a lower cost of living and jobs in nearby plants, factories and farms.
City officials do not know how many of the new arrivals are in the United States illegally, but say they are fueling the drug trade, joining gangs and committing other crimes.
Municipal officials around the nation, frustrated at what they perceive as the federal government's inability to stem illegal immigration, have increasingly taken matters into their own hands.
In San Bernardino, Calif., voters will decide whether to adopt a measure nearly identical to the one in Hazleton. An Idaho county filed a racketeering lawsuit against agricultural companies accused of hiring illegal immigrants. In New Hampshire, a pair of police chiefs began arresting illegal immigrants for trespassing.
"They're being forced to pick up the financial tab for all of this nonsense, and they are doing whatever they can to find ways to combat it at the local level," said Susan Tully, national field director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which advocates limits on immigration. "This is a fine example of what I'm talking about."
Flavia Jimenez, an immigrant policy analyst at the National Council of La Raza, predicted the Hazleton crackdown would prompt a civil rights lawsuit.

Comment: The saga continues...Bobby Brown's sister Tina is in the latest issue of "Sister 2 Sister," magazine discussing Whitney Houston. Excerpts from the interview. Tina claims she still speaks to Whitney on a regular basis since the tabloid article came out and that she had warned Whitney that she was going to the media regarding her alleged drug abuse. She also says, Whitney is not broke, she can still earn $750,000 per show in Europe and Houston has 40 people on her payroll. She adds that someone called Bobby from California, claiming Whitney had a brain tumor and that Bobby dropped the phone and started screaming. Tina alleges that family members took Whitney's wedding rings and a diamond bracelet and pawned the items. Tina also denies being paid $200,000 for the tabloid story, she said she received less.
Beyonce's sister Solange feared she had made a big mistake by taking her baby to her latest appearance on "Total Request Live." The baby started bawling backstage after watching his Aunt Beyonce's video because he discovered that Beyonce was only on the screen and not in the building. Solange isn't surprised that her young son is so attached to his Aunt Beyonce because she's a great babysitter. Beyonce picked him up last week and took him to "FAO Schwartz." They closed the store down so Beyonce and her nephew could shop in peace. In Related News: Beyonce has reportedly pulled out of her promotional trip to the UK later this month after British police foiled a terrorist plot yesterday. A British newspaper says, "It's not a difficult decision to make in the light of the UK going to critical alert status."

The estate is worth $7 million and is known as 'Hayvenhurst." Allegedly, on one other occasion this year, Michael missed payments on the $2 million dollar mortgage. The last time this allegedly happened, Janet reportedly ponied up the money required for back installments. This time, Michael was allegedly 30 days behind but a check just came in.

Comment: August 11, 2006 -- A Long Island father shot to death an unarmed 17-year-old boy - after the victim confronted the man's teenage son in a late-night screaming match in front of his home, police said.
John White, 53, shot Daniel Cicciaro at point-blank range late Wednesday night in the driveway of his home in Miller Place, after shouting, "I'm going to kill you," police said.
Suffolk Homicide Squad Commander Detective Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick said the tragic chain of events was set into motion when 19-year-old Aaron White crashed a party earlier in the evening.
At that party was a teenage girl who recognized the younger White, a college student. "He apparently had a longtime problem" with the girl, Fitzpatrick said.
She told others at the gathering that White had made "inappropriate comments about her in an Internet chat room" nine months earlier, Fitzpatrick said.
White was asked to leave the party, which he did.
But Cicciaro, of Port Jefferson Station, began calling White on his cellphone, Fitzpatrick said. The two youths argued in a series of calls that culminated with Cicciaro and four pals driving from the party to the White home at 11:15 p.m.
Aaron White woke his dad and told him the teens were on their way to confront him. The father, armed with a pistol, and the son, armed with a shotgun, met the youths outside the home, cops said.
They did not call police.
"There was a lot of yelling on both sides," Fitzpatrick said.
John White allegedly pointed the pistol at Cicciaro's head from a few feet away and shouted: "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
But when the teen did not flee, the asphalt-company worker fired one shot into Cicciaro's face, killing him, cops said.
He later admitted to police he shot the boy, but he and his son refused to say any more to authorities, saying they had already engaged a lawyer.
John White was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
"Obviously, you can't shoot somebody who is not threatening you," Fitzpatrick said. Several weapons were recovered from the White home.
But Andrew Siben, a lawyer for the shooter, said Cicciaro's actions "were racially motivated."
The dead teen and his four pals who went to the house are white, while John and Aaron White are black.
Siben said he hoped the Suffolk DA would reconsider the charges against White "when the facts come out."
The elder White was arraigned yesterday at Suffolk County 1st District Court in Central Islip, where a judge ordered him held without bail.
The judge granted a request from White's lawyer that the suspect - who has worked for the same New York City company for 25 years and had never before been arrested - be placed in protective custody in the Suffolk County Jail in Riverhead.

Comment: HEY YALL...let me ask your opinoin. we were discussing about Cassie and her singing and maybe one of the main problems is the song itself. that song Me & U is a lifeless song. it has no riffs, the flow is boring as heyell and it's as about as exciting as seeing a snail move across your desk. and of course what makes it even worse is that the singer can't sing it. it's the wrong kind of song for them to sing. Case in Point: Keyshia Cole's song "Love" like the song. beautiful song. but Keyshia Cole cannot sing it. it's the wrong song for her. now to be honest, Keyshia has a good strong voice and it's gonna get even better as she matures into her own style and talent. i think she will be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. but that song she sings needs a powerhouse voice to really make it rich and deep. a voice that will put goosebumps on your goosebumps. simply it's that kind of song. and IMO this song is a Whitney Houston song. what's yall opinon on that???

Comment: BIGCHASSIE - Thanks!! I think I may be able to pull it together but keep that bottle close to ya!!!MYTHOUGHTS........ruuunnnn!! ha ha ...Nah, Bey got talent, I think that is undeniable whether one likes her or not!! She just needs to be missed for a while....Ashanti, I seen her sing with Patti Labelle and the girl CAN sing....they just put her out there as a "hook" type singer....B. Spears.....yeahh, I am going to leave that alone!! ha ha...Cassie is talking too much already and she only been in the game for 4 days! Not a good thing.

Comment: MYTHOUGHT>i think you are absoultly right. and you know, it's a dayum shame. because of the fact, it's the LOOKS that is getting over on the TALENT. ok, give me a singer that can make the hair on the back of my neck spring up. they may not look like much but they gonna make some money with that voice. put a little make up on them and they will get by on the looks department. sad to say, in the "Real world" it's not the case. which means a lot of people with a lot of talent get undiscovered.

Comment: MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch is having trouble adjusting to prison.
Hatch told the Dominion Post of Morgantown that he won't adjust until he can prove he was "unethically prosecuted."
The reality show star was sentenced to 51 months in prison for not paying taxes on the $1 million he won on "Survivor."
Hatch will be tutoring inmates, helping them earn their GEDs and to improve their job-hunting skills.
Inmates are asking him a lot of questions about "Survivor."
In his spare time, Hatch is writing a book about what he said "has gone so terribly wrong."

Comment: LOL Chassie. I hate/love moving. I'm actually moving down the st. from my current place. I WISH it was 2 bedrooms!! It's a one bedroom 700sq ft. little teeny tiny thing I'll be paying bout 1000 a month for. But it has a better layout than my current apt. My landlord wants me out of my apt ASAP so he can show it. Somehow I made it happen. No, nothing is packed yet. I just found out I was moving at 12:30.

I think she was making like $80K way back in the day so who knows how balling she is now...I just wish she would have a good hair stylist, such as myself (ha ha )do her weave cause she tends to resemble a Thundercat at times!
