LL Cool J leaves the Rock Witchu Tour

LL Cool J leaves the Rock Witchu Tour

LL Cool J's publicist confirmed today that he has dropped out of being opening act on the Rock Witchu Tour, according to the Associated Press.His publicity firm is citing an unnamed scheduling conflict as the reason why he is leaving the tour.There currently are only two more dates left for the tour: Detroit on Tuesday and New York City on Saturday. The AP report goes on to say that Janet is expected to announce more dates.While originally intended to be the opening act for the bulk of the shows on the tour, LL Cool J only ended up performing on the tour four times - Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and Kansas City. A handful of other dates had been postponed due to Janet's recent illness.

I knew something was up when he was at the DC show and did not come out at all and sources told me that him and janet had a fallen out i was surprise to hear he did kansas city a few days ago. Janet ruined LL Cool J promotion of his album with her "illness" granted live nation who is the company who is promoting janets tour top official did confirm to me that she was indeed sick i guess LL felt differently otherwise. whateva the case were people really coming to see LL anyway so was this a good or bad move by LL??

Andresflava extends Condolences to J-Hud & Family

My deepest condolences goes out to Jennifer Hudson and her family in their grieving period. I can not even imagine what she is goin thru having to lose 3 family members like that. Her mom, brother and nephew is just sad. Below is the very latest into the investigation.

According to TMZ.com

a distraught Jennifer Hudson arrived at the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office moments ago to identify the body of her nephew, Julian King, 7.

Around 4 p.m. Eastern Standard time, two black SUVs believed to be carrying Hudson family members pulled out of the basement garage of the Trump Tower in downtown Chicago. An unmarked police squad car left shortly after that, followed by a crowd of about a dozen people who left through the luxury hotel’s lobby and declined comment.
Soon after, the SUVs arrived at the offices of the Cook County medical examiner’s office. The vehicles left the scene about 4:54 p.m. EST. (Source)

Chicago police brought Julian’s body to the medical examiner’s office shortly after noon today and Hudson and other family members arrived about three hours later, said office spokesman Sean Howard.

When the group entered a viewing room at the office Hudson held her head down, as if praying, he said. The family then identified Julian via a video screen mounted on a wall that showed his face. The family chose the video screen option rather than looking directly at the body, Howard said.

The family was “obviously distraught,” but Howard said Hudson “remained strong for her family. It was very clear she was the leader.

“She held hands with her family. It was obviously a very emotional moment.”
When they saw the boy’s face on the screen, Hudson told investigators, “Yes, that is him,” Howard said.

Sources say earlier today police told Hudson and her family that the body of the boy found in the back of a truck on Chicago’s West Side was Julian.

HOW POLICE FOUND JULIAN KING BODY 14 miles from where his grandmother and uncl were killed:

The Chicago Tribune cites law enforcement sources who say the body was found on the floor in the back seat of the white Chevrolet Suburban police were looking for in their search for 7-year-old Julian King.

Sources said that the boy was shot twice in the head and also suffered head trauma. The boy was wearing basketball shorts and a white T shirt when found. Police believe the boy was shot to death inside the Suburban. Police are testing the clothing of a man in custody for gunshot residue. The clothing is believed to belong to William Balfour, Jennifer Hudson’s bother-in-law.
Balfour was taken into custody at a girlfriend’s home hours after the bodies were found. Sources say the girlfriend contradicted his alibi. Police say they’ve also caught him in at least one other lie. Police were able to track his whereabouts Friday through cell phone records, sources said. The girlfriend lives two miles from where the truck was found.

Hudson family members are on their way to the Cook County medical examiner’s office this afternoon to identify the body. Police Supt. Jody Weis will hold a press conference at 4 p.m. today.

Police arrived at the Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859 before 8 a.m. in the 1300 block of South Kolin Avenue, after receiving a call of a suspicious vehicle.
LaSahawn Bouie, 36, said officers first opened the back door. “They knew there was a body in there,” he said, adding that investigators looked inside and then too pictures.

It was found by a 75-year-old who lives on the block, John Louden. He said he has lived on the block for 18 years and worried about people selling drugs in the abandoned building behind it. He saw the SUV while walking his dog. After a double-take, he realized the license plate matched the one police were looking for.

“I didn’t look in there. I didn’t touch it. I knew it was a strange vehicle,” Louden said. He said police showed up in about five minutes after his wife called them. They discovered the child inside. The body was removed and the SUV was towed away for evidence processing. “I feel bad about that baby,” Louden said.

Dos n Donts on Nov 5th 2008

Thanks to Frank Roberts 4 this 1 go check him out at www.brooklynboyblues.blogspot.com

To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from getting nervous, I think we should develop a list of acceptable celebrations, and behaviors we should probably avoid - at least for the first few days:

1. No shouting "Thank you Jesus!" - at least not in public.

2. No calling in sick or coming in late on November 5th. They'll get nervous if too many of us don't show up, or we all come in at the same time.


3. No playing of the theme song to the Jeffersons ("Moving on Up") or doing the George Jefferson shuffle (unless you are in your office with the door closed). James Brown's "I Feel Good", however, is acceptable.

5. No bringing of BBQ ribs or fried chicken to lunch in the company cafeteria for at least a week.

6. DO NOT, appear to walk past your caucasian co-worker and suddenly turn & yell BOOO YAH! They may be seen as a sign of aggression and, in preparation for the end of days may be carrying a concealed weapon. In which case, the incident might end quite badly.

7. Please refrain from doing the Running Man or the Cabbaage Patch. However, if there is a couch in your reception area, feel free to jump up on it and shout "Oprah, I LOVE Obama!"

8. Do not, play excerpts from Martin Luther King's I've Been to the Mountain Top, especially, not the part that says "Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." (This may be perceived as an overt threat)

9. Do not, have money printed with Obama's face on it and attempt to spend it. Federal prison may not be the county lock-up, but it's still jail

10. DO NOT, let your boss come in to his or her office to find you sitting behind his/her desk with your feet up talking about "there's gonna be some changes around here." This WILL get you fired, and possibly arrested if you resist.


If I've missed anything feel free to add to the list. I just want to make sure we're all on the same page when Obama brings this thing home on November 5th.

Noah's arc:Jumping The Broom Movie Review pt 2

Noah's Arc:Jumping the Broom movie by far went beyond what i expected it would do for me i was a huge fan on the series and even had watch parties each week with friends but like every other fan was sadden when the show ended. I must admit i was vey nervous when i walked iin the theater i didnt know if it would be crowded or if our ommunity would say fuck it and not give a damn. But to my amazement when i walked into the the first showing at 115pm on friday til i left the theater at 8pm yes ii saw the movie 3 times.lol it was that good. The community and fans came out in numbers straight, gay, old and young, black,white,as well as couples and singles came to show LOGO network that this was a show tha made a difference and that people loved. We as a community did a great job here in dc and if you saw lonnell video so did chicago and i hearing great reviews in LA,NYC and ATL. outstanding!


From the opening scenes where we see (noah) sitting on the deck and kicking up his heels in his fierce boots to the drama between chance and eddie would it finally end?, to ricky not growing up at all and still being a slut, to mama alex wilding out and acting a fool.The movie saw much growth in all the characters old and new and in the end you hope more would come from it. This movie gave you comedy, drama, and even made you teared eyed. Patrik Ian Polk did a outstanding job in this film which only took 15 days to film in Nova scotia Canada. Below is a video capturing scences from the film as well as some pics i took from the premiere yesterday at E Street Cinemas.
