Out with the old...In with the new...

I have made alot of changes within this last year from friends to majors. When I was younger I used to love hanging around alot of girls, but now that I have grown up and started focusing on whats more important in my life, I had to make changes. I wont get into detail about the friendship thing I will just say that I grew up and alot of people I was around, didn't. Period. I changed my major at school from Business Administration to Social Science. I am big on investigating stuff and solving problems. So I decided to study Forensic Science. No more room for changes! I just wanted to make this post because it is getting closer to the end of a great year and heading into a New Year. Are you excited? Have you made some changes? Always remember that change is good. It's okay to get rid of the things that mean you NO good!! :-)

Kanye Album Cover Banned....

Kanye West is speaking out – again.



The notoriously outspoken rapper took his furor to Twitter Sunday night, expressing displeasure that the original artwork for his new album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," was "banned in the USA!!!"



"They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!" he wrote, alongside a photo of the intended artwork – a painting of an armless, winged nude woman with a polka-dotted tail straddling a man.



According to the Los Angeles Times, the cover art wasn't exactly banned, as West put it. A source close to the artist reportedly said West was strongly urged to forgo his choice of cover art, but that his label, Universal Music Group's Island Def Jam, was willing to stand behind whatever he decided to do.

The rapper, 33, continued to tweet about the hypocrisy of the nation's conservative mentality and the stifling of his "true creativity."

"In the 70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that..." he wrote. "Everything has been so commercialized now.

"So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can't have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings."

Mass-market retailers were reportedly the reason why the rapper was forced to pull the cover art, after label execs allegedly speculated that stores such as Wal-Mart and Best Buy, which account for at least 10% of physical CD sales, would refuse to carry the album.

West went on to state that his creative freedom comes before album sales.

"In all honesty ... I really don't be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers #Kanyeshrug! I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity," he wrote.

West has been building hype around his upcoming album, releasing new music every Friday through his "G.O.O.D. Fridays" mix tapes and using Twitter to connect with fans.

"My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is scheduled for release on Nov. 22.

****I love Kanye...he's the truth and crazy like me :0)

Mario Does The Fooley...

BALTIMORE -- Baltimore born R&B artist Mario was arrested early Friday morning after police said he got into a fight with his mother.

Police were called at about 1 a.m. to an apartment the two share in the 900 block of Fells Street.

Hardaway said that earlier in the week, Mario had also pushed her across the room.

Police said inside the apartment, they found a broken mirror and a broken china closet, as well as a closet door with a hole punched in it.

Mario has said publicly that his mother has struggled for years with drug addiction.

The singer has released a number of hit albums and came in third on Dancing With the Stars a few seasons ago.

Who's Cheating???

Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher, 32, has recently been hit with a cheating scandal, as Star Magazine runs a story of a woman claiming to have had an affair with the actor.  Although Ashton has been married to 47-year-old actress Demi Moore for almost five years now, the magazine states that they have proof of the actor’s infidelity, and that their mystery woman is willing to tell her story to the whole world.  Hollywood tinsel town was surprised with the rumors and everybody is waiting for more details and confirmation.
The 21-year-old mystery woman, bearing a striking resemblance to the foxy star, as described by the magazine, says she met the former MTV Punked host last July in Lucky Strikes Lanes in Hollywood.  The mystery woman narrates that he strikes up a conversation with her and before he leaves, mystery woman slips him her number on a cocktail napkin.  Days later, mystery woman asserts that they were already making love on the sofa in his house while Demi was out of town.   She further declares that it was not “random,” as the famous actor has made her believe that what they shared was more than just a fling.

Meanwhile, Demi and Ashton helped launch the Real Men Don't Buy Girls campaign at The Clinton Global Initiative in the midst of the allegations of infidelity. Ashton took it to Twitter and stated:

“I think Star magazine calling me a “cheater” qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees”

 

“Star magazine — you don’t get to stand behind ‘freedom of the press’ when you are writing fiction,” he added.

I highly doubt these allegations, BUT who knows...I love them together and I'm sure Demi Moore won't let this cloud that love.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Boxing champion and the third highest paid athlete in the US, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been arrested over charges of domestic violence, robbery, theft and coercion in addition to battery and harassment. If convicted on all the charges the 33 year old boxer could spend more than 30 years in prison.


Floyd Mayweather, who lives in Las Vegas was picked up from Josie Harris’s house last week after he beat her up and took her phone when she found him in the house last Friday. He even threatened his three children. Harris, Mayweather’s ex-partner was admitted to a local medical facility for minor face and arm injuries.

A few weeks ago, Mayweather released a homophobic and racist video directed at Pacquiao. Legal action was taken against him for that incident as well. The domestic violence case happened soon after on 9 September.

In the meantime, Mayweather has been released on a bail that cost him US $3,000. Mayweather’s lawyer commented that “if [the charges] are based on the same incidents in the [police] report it’s kind of a bombastic characterisation”.

Floyd Mayweather Jr’s arraignment is scheduled on 9 November.

**Wow is all I can say...can't wait to see what this brings**

Bush Stripped From The Heisman Trophy...

The Heisman Trophy Trust is expected to strip former University of Southern California star running back Reggie Bush of college football’s top honor by the end of September, sources told Yahoo! Sports.


Bush would become the first player in the 75-year history of the award to have the trophy taken away. The NCAA found major violations in the Trojans’ football program in June and levied serious sanctions against the school.

Two sources close to the Heisman trust said the body’s investigation is coming to a close, and will ultimately concur with the NCAA’s determination that Bush was ineligible during his Heisman-winning season in 2005. Because of that independent conclusion, sources said the trust will relieve Bush of the award and leave the honor for that season vacant. The sources said Bush met with Heisman representatives last month at the New York law offices of Emmet, Marvin & Martin. The sources would not reveal details of that meeting.

Bush, now a standout with the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints, could not immediately be reached for comment.

The Heisman trust has been conducting its own independent inquiry into Bush’s eligibility since the NCAA ruled in June that the USC star had committed multiple violations by accepting cash, gifts and other impermissible benefits while playing for the Trojans. Yahoo! Sports first detailed the extra benefits in September 2006. In its findings, the NCAA retroactively ruled Bush ineligible for part of the 2004 season and all of 2005. The NCAA also ordered the USC program to remove all references to Bush from its sporting venues and promotional materials and vacate his statistics from all games in which he was ineligible.

In July, incoming USC president C.L. Max Nikias announced that the university would be returning its copy of Bush’s Heisman to the trust, stating the Trojans would honor and respect athletes who “did not compromise their athletic program or the opportunities of future USC student-athletes.” New USC athletic director Pat Haden followed up in August, stating during an interview with the Dan Patrick radio show that Bush should also voluntarily return his Heisman.

While others pressed for a swift decision, the trust opted for a patient, meticulous effort. Sources said the trust did its own detailed investigation over the past three months, using a litany of resources and reviewing its information against the NCAA’s findings. The trust also offered Bush a chance to impact the decision.

The process apparently came with considerable debate – in part because of the trust’s quest for due process, but also because of the unique nature of the decision. Never in the history of the award has the trust been forced to retroactively rule on the eligibility of a past winner. That reality, along with the NCAA’s findings, created a tangled knot of deliberation regarding the trust’s place in the role of enforcement. Sources said the prominent issues discussed included accountability, on-field vs. off-field conduct, implications of retroactively stripping an award and possible impact on future athletes and the NCAA.
