Here, the Wall Street Journal directs us to a Japanese bra equipped with a digital clock that counts down to your marriage deadline.
Talk about keeping your goals close to your heart.
The piece notes that the garment's underlying message goes something like this: "Don’t just sit there waiting for the right person to come along. Singles need to actively seek a spouse."
However, the writer and online commenters refute that statement, citing many personal examples of finding love when love was the last thing on somebody's mind.
So true. It always seems like you find the most potentially perfect mate the instant you say, "I don't want a relationship right now."
Yet it's hard to be an entirely passive dater. Sure, you don't have to bow to a marriage countdown clock. But if you really want to find someone, you have to make some effort to socialize.
Has anyone out there accidentally found love?

Free Tuesday show!
The M&M Band performs a free show tonight at the Shanty Shack, 4475 Warm Springs Road. Music starts at 7 p.m.
Arrive early and you'll have a chance to score a free dinner. No cover.
The show is part of the nightclub's Muldoon's Tuesday promotion, which attempts to recreate the atmosphere of longtime Columbus hangout Muldoon's. That bar was replaced by dance club H2O a year ago.
Genma Holmes: The Horrible Experience of Watching the BET Awards
by Genma Holmes
Watching movies and barbecuing is how my family spends most Sunday afternoons. This past Sunday, I broke a cardinal rule and watched the BET Awards for the first time. My kids convinced me that it would be great since it was billed as a tribute to Michael Jackson and his humanitarian endeavors. However, the show that was promoted was not the show I watched. The BET Awards was a chaotic three hour black-a-thon fiasco.

Stop talking about your baby
It's a regular Facebook occurrence: You innocently befriend the former college roommate who just happens to now have three kids.
Within minutes, you're suddenly bombarded by a deluge of status updates involving pleasant images like dirty diapers, toilet "accidents" and infant vomit.
Delightful? No. Common? Yes.
The Frisky details the phenomenon in a recent post, hilariously titled "Facebook is no place for baby diarrhea." The post even mentions a site where people post annoying baby-based status updates and photos.
As much as I want to believe these offenders aren't trying to annoy us, I can't understand the rationale behind telling your 294 friends about morning puke.
Once, after one of my social networking friends posted an especially graphic baby bodily function update, one of our mutual friends fired back. She wrote a status update to effect of, "XXX hates it when people post gross things about their kids."
Ouch, I know. But I was thinking the same thing.
If you have kids, do you censor your stories when you're around childless friends?

Dr Boyce Watkins: Why Wendy Williams Will Dominate TV
The first time I appeared on "The Wendy Williams Experience," I was admittedly a wee bit concerned. I didn't know as much as I should have about Wendy, but I did know that she was ferocious. I was being invited on her show to talk about Oprah Winfrey, Bill Cosby, 50 Cent and Ice Cube. There was a beef between hip hop and the Oprah crowd, and Wendy seemed to feel that I could be a good referee.
I didn't mind standing in the middle of this conversation, because I have respect for both sides of the fence. Hip hop is one of the most powerful creative art forms in the history of the world, but it also possesses tremendous problems, primarily due to the impact of selective commercialization within the context of socially irresponsible corporate models. Oprah, on the other hand, is one of the most amazing and prolific public figures I've ever seen. But she is also not without her issues as it pertains to dealing with black men. I respect all sides, but I am not afraid to critique all sides when necessary.
In my first appearance on Wendy's show, I met her incredibly efficient producer,Nicole Spence. I was sad to see Wendy and Nicole fall out, because I honestly feel that they needed each other. But I digress. Before the show, Nicole told me, point blank: "The interview is going to last for at least 20 minutes. It will only be longer if Wendy likes you."
Okey-dokey then. Either we would hit it off nicely or she would put the hook around my neck like the Apollo Theatre. Wendy is not polite enough to care if she hurts your feelings, so I knew she would only keep talking to me if I could give her good commentary. In front of 11 million listeners, we were going to be feeling each other out. The pressure was on, but I respond well to pressure and confront all challenges head on. In fact, I almost always win.
Interesting: Barack Obama Afraid to Publicly Acknowledge Michael Jackson?
President Barack Obama has written to the family of Michael Jackson rather than making a public statement, his senior adviser said Sunday.
Appearing on the NBC program "Meet the Press," Obama adviser David Axelrod said Obama believes Jackson was "an important and magnificent performer" who made an undeniable impact on music and entertainment.
Asked why Obama had yet to speak publicly about Jackson's sudden death last week at age 50, Axelrod said: "The president has written the family and has shared his feelings with the family."
"He felt that was the appropriate way to go," Axelrod said.

Advertising your goods
Happy Monday! While partying at Flip Flops Saturday, I spotted a guy wearing a T-shirt with his phone number on it. It also included this bold invitation: "Text me."
Classy, right?
On the plus side, he probably avoided all the awkward conversation that comes before the phone number exchange. On the minus side, he seriously risked looking desperate.
Whether you like it or not, the dating world relies heavily on self-promotion. We're told that in order to score a second date, we must show our best sides. Mention our most valued accomplishments. Accentuate our most striking features.
Take it too far, however, and you're conceited.
So tell me: Is literally wearing your phone number on your sleeve smart, or cheesy?

WTF? Why They Hatin on the Doctor?
Media Takeout is reporting that Michael Jackson’s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, was associated with a clinic for illegal drugs. Also, people are trying to say that he did CPR wrong and that he was a quack. Bullshit. If this man was such a quack, why did he get the job in the first place? Michael was in poor health and if he was asking this man to get him certain types of drugs, he probably felt pressured to do that. People did the same thing to the doctor for Kanye West’s mother. Just because a doctor is black, that don’t mean he is a quack!

BET News: Jay-z a Hater on Chris Brown at the BET Awards?
Reports are that Jay Z told BET that they can’t have Chris Brown on the stage. He threatened to take away himself and Beyonce if they chose Chris. If this is true, that would not only be dirty, but it would be silly, since Chris Brown is the closest thing in the world to Michael Jackson. Sorry folks, but New Edition just don’t do it!
Michael Jackson’s Massive Debt: The Man Owed People Money
Michael Jackson is not dead. No, he's not on a deserted island chilling with Tupac and Elvis (who some believe faked their deaths), but he is certainly alive in corporate and social spirit, impacting millions of people.
Michael will make 1000 times more money in death than most people make when they are alive. But similar to when he was alive, massive amounts of cash will have to be generated in order to counter the enormous debt that Michael created while he was doing his thing.
Reports have stated Michael Jackson's debt to be as high as half a billion dollars, enough to make some major corporations blush. What's worse is that this debt was not created via a series of sound financial investments: it was conceived by building personal amusement parks, buying rare monkey statues, and rocking his way from one expensive store to the other.
Michael's spending became his addiction. Financial needs could have been what led to him agreeing to do 50 concerts in London this year (a tour he was preparing for just before his death), when he may have not been able to handle one. It was starting to get sad watching Michael perform, similar to watching Muhammad Ali after he'd spent 10 years dealing with Don King. While the 50-year old Michael Jackson may have given a great performance, it would probably be something less than what we've come to expect.

Watch Prison Inmates Tribute to Michael Jackson
CEBU, Philippines (AP) -- The Filipino inmates who shot to global fame with a Youtube video recreating the "Thriller" dance swayed and stomped again Saturday in a behind-bars tribute to their idol, Michael Jackson.
After being told of Jackson's death Thursday in Los Angeles, the 1,500 inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center hit the exercise yard, practicing for nine hours Friday night -- and into the wee hours of Saturday morning -- for the show.
They took breaks only to eat or when it rained, said professional choreographer Gwendolyn Lador, hired by the prison to teach the inmates the dance.
"I felt sad because we lost our idol," said inmate Wenjiel Resane, who plays the role of Jackson's girlfriend in the video.
Crisanto Nieri, 38, was feeling a little extra stress. He danced Jackson's part in "Thriller."
"Even as a kid, he was already my idol," said Nieri, who is serving seven years on drug charges. "I am happy that our video became famous, but I feel some pressure to perform well."
Nicole Spence: She Wants It All the Time!
I chuckle as I write this, because I've wondered the same thing about me “Is my sex drive too damn high?" Any who this story isn't directly about me today.
Last week I got together for food and Patron shots with a very good girlfriend of mine, I just love her she's highly successful very pretty. We got to talking about men and relationships pretty recklessly due to the patron shots and a little pinch of fed up ness! This is when she tells me “Nicole I need it everyday, at least 3times a day!" Shut up!! You too I scream!! I thought something was wrong with me??!! Lmao. She explained that most men tell her that, they have never had this much sex in their life! Accuse her of being a Nympho! I was loving every minute of this hot steamy conversation of her sex demands i.e. You better give it to me in the morning too, what you think this is buddy??!!
Selfish me was happy to know that I have a fellow sista in the struggle, and cheered her on exclaiming that There Ain't Nothing Wrong with that shooooot, he needs to get with the program!
4 shots and a few fresh texts later as we "nymphs" tried to arrange our late night trysts, we asked each other again, is something wrong with the frequency and intensity in which we want to be satisfied ??
My answer is Hell No! Why shouldn't women be comfortable with expressing their sexuality, their desires, and fantasies! Men please don't' feel threatened by your woman's sex drive being higher than yours; there is nothing wrong or abnormal about her! Yup we want it in the morning, the afternoon, and if we could bounce out of work during lunch to get a quickie at spot random location we would! Its a beautiful thing when you and your mate speak the same sex language, because there is nothing weaker in my opinion than a man that tells you "No baby not tonight"!

Your Black News: Michael Jackson Had a Heart Attack
LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson apparently suffered a heart attack, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Friday. Police sought to talk to the doctor who was with the pop icon during his last minutes and pumped his chest in a vain attempt to save his life.
As grief for the King of Pop poured out around the world, from the icons of music to heartbroken fans, an autopsy showed no sign of trauma to Jackson, whose death came just weeks before he was to launch an epic comeback bid in a series of 50 concerts in London.
The person, who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity, said Jackson had suffered a heart attack. Jackson's brother Jermaine had said the pop singer apparently went into cardiac arrest — which often but not always happens because of a heart attack.
Authorities said they wanted to speak with the doctor, identified by theLos Angeles Times as cardiologist Conrad Murray, and said they had towed his car from Jackson's rented mansion because it could contain medication or other evidence. Police stressed that the doctor was not a criminal suspect.
Craig Harvey, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County coroner, said there were no signs of foul play. He said Jackson was taking some unspecified prescription medication but gave few other details.
WTF? Hurricane Chris Performs for the Louisiana State Legislature
Hurricane Chris was asked to perform “Halle Berry” before the Louisiana State Legislature? Now that’s some ghetto ass shit. Now, Louisiana has officially become the most ridiculous state in the country. You don’t give commendations to doctors, lawyers, professors or activists, but you give them to rappers who make silly songs. Wow. You can see the performance by clicking here.

WTF: Perez Hilton Called Will.I.am a “Faggot”
After allegedly getting clocked in the eye by the manager of the Black Eyed Peas, the gossip blogger is now taking punches from gay rights activists and the celebrities he follows -- and he's fighting back.
Today in Los Angeles, Hilton filed a $25,000 lawsuit against band manager Polo Molina. He's seeking unspecified damages in excess of $25,000 for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to The Associated Press, the suit claims Molina attacked Hilton because he made critical comments about the Black Eyed Peas' new album.
Tuesday, Hilton issued an apology -- of sorts -- for calling Black Eyed Peas front man will.i.am a "faggot" but defended his use of the anti-gay slur.
Crazy cat ladies
When I moved to Columbus and wanted a pet, I chose a dog for a variety of reasons. There was the home defender factor, not to mention my mom's extreme hatred of felines.
But most importantly, if you're an unmarried woman, you sound a little less pathetic when you say, "I'm spending the night alone with my dog."
The crazy cat lady image has become a fear widespread enough to warrant its own documentary, YourTango reports.
Come on, people: Isn't the 35-year-old single guy who babies his cat just as scary? And is owning a dog really a better indication of your sanity?

Memories of Michael Jackson
Reports of Michael Jackson's death put me inside a 12-passenger van.
I was 20, and surviving on a scholarship that paid me to participate in my college speech team. The activity was designed for kids who thrived under spotlights, survived only under pressure and lacked the capacity to mistake North Korea for South Korea.
I wasn't cut out for it.
Maybe that's why, with a state championship title within my sight, I fainted while giving my signature speech about maggots.
The experience resulted in five stitches, and a life-changing choice: I could give up, or I could stand up again and risk falling down.
Stitches removed, I found myself once again in a 12-passenger van, traveling across the Midwest to another tournament that would inevitably juggle my nerves. I didn't know what to do.
So from the front passenger seat, I reached into my tote bag, put Michael Jackson's "History" on the van's CD player and danced.
It marked the beginning of a ritual that would continue through my remaining years on the team.
Inexplicably, one of the most complicated guys in entertainment ended up being my biggest source of clarity.
RIP, MJ.

Your Black News: Michael Jackson is Dead
.jpg)
Michael Jackson has died at age 50 after being rushed to UCLA Medical Center, NBC News has confirmed.
Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Steve Ruda told the L.A. Times that Jackson was not breathing when paramedics arrived at his home and CPR was performed.
TMZ.com reported that he may have suffered cardiac arrest.
The other woman
After her husband's death, Julie Metz tracked down and confronted the five women with whom he'd had affairs.
Metz is profiled in this NY Times article, which focuses on her recent book, "Perfection: A Memoir of Betrayal and Renewal."
The interviewer asks Metz if she'd recommend tracking down the infamous Other Woman.
“I don’t make a recommendation about that,” Ms. Metz says. “I recommend doing something, in the sense that I think what a lot of women do is crawl off into a hole and suffer this humiliation and don’t try to do anything to emerge from the situation. But what you do depends on your particular situation.”
It's good advice. If my guy ever had an affair, I like to believe I'd have the courage to give the nasty skank a piece of my mind. But realistically, I'd probably just stand there like an idiot.
I mean, what do you say?

Summer Trend 2009: Grecian Dresses
It is so hot in the summer that I'm all about being casually cool. My summer calendar is stocked full of barbeques, birthday parties, etc. and nothing gets me out the door quicker than a perfectly fitted dress. The Grecian style has become one of my go-to faves because of its ethereal feel and 'ol school Shakespeare kiss me now/ask questions later quality.
The dress takes a traditional spin on the Grecian style. When I look at this set I'm transported to the wooded glen of a Midsummer's Night dream where I would have been smart enough to follow my heart to my true love....Puck and all.
This dress has an urban feel with a street sensibility that would easily translate at one of my early evening soirees. Plus when the temp drops later in the evening, I could throw on that spectacular kimono and be good to go.

Racist Aliens? Transformers Movie Uses Racial Stereotypes
That clunking engine noise you're hearing may be the sound of 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' rolling along on broken-down racial and ethnic stereotypes.
Movie critics and columnists from the Associated Pressto the New York Times are raising concerns about two newly added Autobots, described as "jive talking,""minstrelsy," illiterate and action avoiding. And of these bickering twins, Skids (Tom Kenny) and Mudflap (Reno Wilson), one even reportedly sports a gold grill, I mean tooth. Oh, you get the picture.
The only robots with any discernible personality traits, aside from bravery or antagonism, are the Autobot twins, Mudflap and Skids. These are shockingly crass and unfortunate black stereotypes, jive-talking fools who can't read and bumble their way from one mishap to the next. They are Jar Jar Binks in car form.

Caught in the act
Here's an Australian study that says 25 percent of cell phone users found out their partner or someone else's was being unfaithful through text messages.
It got me thinking about the "best" way to find out your partner is having an affair. I'd much rather walk in on my guy making out with somebody than stumble upon piles and piles of amorous letters he'd written behind my back.
That scenario does give you the unforgettable image of your boyfriend kissing another woman. But it makes it easier to regard the affair as a purely physical thing.
When you find a bunch of sappy love letters, or a couple gushy texts, you realize he actually has feelings for somebody else.
Yes, when it comes to cheating, the ideal scenario is no scenario.
But if you had to discover someone was lying to you, how would you want it to play out?

It's one thing for your friends to drag you to a bar hoping you'll finally meet that special someone. But creating a Web site touting your dating appeal?
I think that crosses the line.
Here, Glamour tells us about a girl whose friends made a Web site to find her a date. It's not the first time I've heard of this phenomenon. I know some real-life people who have had friends do the same thing.
Yes, it's sweet, and in some respects I'd appreciate friends set on curbing my post-breakup tendency to indulge in "Two and a Half Men" reruns.
Nonetheless, it's one thing to get somebody back in the saddle, but it's another thing to force them to ride a rodeo blindfolded.
Sometimes pushy friends can unknowingly force you to get back on the dating circuit before you're ready. Their good intentions end up only making you feel panicked.
Their Web sites can boast all your wonderful qualities, but you'll only be able to demonstrate those qualities if dating is something you really truly want.

Lady Drama: Report is that Beyonce’s Mother is Getting Fed Up
From Lady Drama at YourBlackGossip
According to sources Tina has decided to leave Matthew Knowles and his controlling antics! Read below:
Hi Soulgirl
My mother is a friend of Tina Knowles. They often go to the same nail/hair salon together and catch up whenever Tina is in town. Tina told my mother that her and Mathew have been separated for at least a year now and are living in different homes even though they have kept their main house.
Tina spends all her time running around after Beyonce and Solange and focusing on the clothing line which has kept her busy through the separation. You won’t see them getting divorced anytime soon and they also remain dedicated to supporting both of their daughters. Mathew’s narrowmindness and lies have seen Tina turn her back on him and his dealings. She will always love Mathew but she can no longer live in his controlling ways.
The validity of it all is kind of suspect but I do hope that Tina has moved on because she can do so much better! Speaking of moving on in other Knowles news Beyonce was spotted in NYC at the “Show Your Helping Hand” hunger relief initiative kickoff Monday! 
While the hair is questionable she still looks happy! From what I hear she also teared down the house at her New York Show where hubby Jay Z made a surprise appearance... Why aren't we surprised lol ;-)

Angel Lola Luv Puts Superhead on Blast
Apparently, the video vixens don’t like each other. Angel Lola Luv seems to think that Superhead made her and other video chicks look like hoes. Well, that’s true. But then again, when you’re shaking your ass right in the camera, wearing nothing but half a thong, then what you think guys gonna think about anyway?

Rihanna’s Reaction to “The Deal”
“Rihanna was told about the plea deal at 12noon and had no objection. Rihanna believes that this is a fair and just resolution of this case. She would like to thank from the bottom of her heart the district attorney’s office and LAPD that showed her only courtesy and compassion….Its inappropriate suffice it to say that now there is a stay away order in effect, I’m sure Chris will abide by that order.”

What's up with feet?
You're smart. You're funny. Occasionally, you do something nice for me.
That doesn't mean I have to love your hobbit feet. Or enjoy the fact that your toenails are long enough to potentially sever one of my limbs.
I love you, but I hate your feet. It's a perfectly safe setup, right?
Unfortunately, the foot's romantic appeal has returned to the spotlight. Blame it on a recent "Bachelorette" contestant, as well as a reported scene from actress Leighton Meester's rumored sex tape.
Feet are not sexy, people. I agree with this Glamour blogger: Foot rubbing is gross.
I'm not only repulsed by the male hobbit syndrome. I hold my feet to the same critical standard. I have year-old stiletto calluses, not to mention enough dead skin to build a small insect shelter.
Is there anything hot about feet?

Black News: Tameka Foster Needs to Learn to Use Twitter
If there's a 'Twitter for Dummies' book available, someone may want to get a copy toUsher Raymond's soon-to-be ex-wife, Tameka Foster.
On Wednesday, Foster performed a notorious Twitter snafu when she inadvertently posted a message to Star Jones on her public page instead of sending it as a private direct message.
"@starjonesesq my lawyer= horrible. Need the name/number of a good one in Atlanta," Foster submitted to the former co-host of 'The View.'
Recognizing her mistake -- and the fact that she just told the world what she really thinks of her divorce attorney, Randall M. Kessler -- the 40-year-old mother of five then posted another Tweet asking, "Please delete this...it was a DM mistake. Not for ppl to see. I'm sorry."

If you're happy and you know it...
Should you keep your mouth shut?
The question hit me after I recently checked one of my favorite blogs, This Fish Needs a Bicycle. The blog debuted with a focus on single life, but its author found a boyfriend and the site has evolved to focus on relationship issues.
Anyway, the "Fish" recently detailed how -- after a particularly horrendous day -- her boyfriend surprised her with a dozen roses. The ended the post with this sentence: "My boyfriend is better than your boyfriend."
An online backlash ensued.
OK, really it was just like two or three people who interpreted the last line as smug. But it did ignite an online discussion and even inspired the blogger to write a post defending herself.
The thing is, the line kind of put me off, too. I get a little queasy around people who constantly offer lines like, "I have the best husband." Yes, I know you're not saying it to imply superiority, but it does come off smug. And, at times, a little insecure.
Then again, if you're really happy, shouldn't you be able to express your feelings without worrying about tiptoeing around the emotions of people who haven't found what they're looking for?
Relationship bliss is rare and often fleeting.
So when you find it, should you have to worry about rubbing your happiness in somebody's face?

Would you take love advice from someone with an unsuccessful romantic track record?
That's the question raised with Jennifer Love Hewitt's announcement she'll soon pen a dating advice manual. The actress abruptly broke off a recent engagement, and many people say her current relationship is nothing but a rebound.
It doesn't provide the best resume for dating expertise, but if we judged on authors' romantic histories alone, than self-help books like this one and this one wouldn't be popular.
I think it's possible to have a clear perspective on every romantic relationship...except your own. It's one thing to know the basic tenets of dating. It's another thing to be able to apply those rules when your own feelings are on the line. Telling someone else what to do is much easier.
Besides, I'd be much more inclined to take advice from someone who had her heart broken a few times than someone whose sole romantic relationship culminated in marriage.

Lady Drama: Kelis Slams Nas for Father’s Day
"Milkshake" singer Kelis has filed new documents in a Los Angeles court, asking her estranged husband, Nas, to pay spousal support and child support for their baby on the way.
Kelis, who is expecting a baby boy on July 21, claims in her court filing obtained by Access Hollywood, that she has "run out of money" and that her rap star husband "is refusing to pay for most of my expenses."
In her declaration to the court, the singer revealed she spent the money she made as a singer-songwriter in part while she attended culinary school in 2008 and on her bills.
Kelis is asking Nas to foot the bill for a host of supplies related to the child she is carrying including $20,000 "towards the cost of purchasing strollers, cribs and other baby supplies" for the couple's two residences – an apartment in Manhattan and a home in Los Angeles.

Lady Drama: Letoya Luckett Stands Up to Matthew Knowles
From Lady Drama at YourBlackGossip.
Letoya shut down the rumors about her not being able to perform at the BET awards because of Matthew Knowles! Read the details:
In case you haven’t heard the beef, there’s rumors claiming Matthew Knowles is trying to get Letoya pulled out the BET Awards because Beyonce is set to perform. Shots fired!!! So during an interview with WPGC’s DJ Flexx, she was asked to address the rumors…
Dj Flexx: “Let’s just say that it’s true, how does it make you feel that Matthew would go so hard at you to get you off the show?”
LeToya: “It saddens me a little. Because our situation happened close to 10 years ago, and I think as we all know Bey is a very very very talented artist, and I think that we both have our own lanes and fanbase, and I don’t see why I would have to be one of the ones picked out of the entire crew of females that will be hitting the stage that night. I don’t know… I’m gonna try and word this right… I just don’t understand why I’m picked outta that group because there are so many other female artists performin’ that night and I think we all deserve to have a chance at that stage. Everybody works hard and we all have something different to offer, from Keyshia to Keri to Bey, everybody is different in their own ways so it saddens me if that’s true, and I hope that’s not the case but I’ll be there regardless”.

Elliot Millner: Tyler Perry vs. Spike Lee: What’s Really Going on?
Although I realize that we live in the internet-age, which means even the simplest of criticisms can be blown out of proportion, I am disappointed to see how some Black people are unable to intelligently respond to constructive criticism, even when it is not directed at them.
The person who is the latest target of the "He's just a hater" orchestra is none other than renowned filmmaker Spike Lee. In a recent interview that he did with Ed Gordon, Spike dared to criticize some of Tyler Perry's work(specifically Meet the Browns and House of Pain) and made references to the shows as "coonery" and "buffoonery" and compared them to Amos n' Andy.
For the record, let me say that I agree with a lot of what Spike Lee said. Although I liked a couple of the Madea plays that I saw years back(even though I generally have issue with Black men parading around in dresses, even for comedy-but that's another topic), these two shows don't do anything for me. That's just me, and I do realize that comedy is subjective; what's funny to one person is not funny to another. However, any person familiar with the historical 'coonery' and 'buffoonery' that Spike Lee was referring to(reference Bamboozled if you haven't seen it) would be hard pressed to argue his point that some of Tyler Perry's characters do harken back to that era. If "Mr. Brown" isn't the prototypical coon-type character, then what is? This is not to single Tyler Perry out, because there are other examples, and some of them aren't actors(Flavor Flav).

The White House. A movie premiere in Maryland. A store opening in Harlem.
LeBron James is making the rounds this summer.
Fully recovered after undergoing surgery two weeks ago to have a benign growth on his jaw removed, the NBA's MVP is keeping a busy schedule.

Looks like Michael Strahan's post-NFL keeps getting better. Awhile back we announced that Strahan just signed a deal with FOX to star in his own sitcom this fall and now he'll be marrying Eddie Murphy's ex-lady, Nicole Murphy. The two have been dating for some time now and according to People Magazine, Strahan popped the question on a beach in the Bahamas.
"I have a great relationship and she's a great girl," Strahan told People. "I don't like to talk much about my private life, but I'm really happy."
Stop Snitchin: Oakland Beating Victim won’t testify!
Cavenia Bryant has been arrested for her involvement in the Oakland beauty shop beating posted on You Tube. “We’re close on bringing them in. We don’t want to scare them by releasing the names publicly,” said Jeff Thomason, Public Information Officer for the Oakland Police Department.
The May 5 assault took place around 5:50 p.m., but the victim, Melissa Seals, didn’t call the Oakland Police Department until around 7 p.m., Thomason reported. Officers responded and took Seals’ statement: six women entered her Oakland hair salon as Seals cut a customer’s hair, they locked the door from the inside, then two of the women proceeded to beat Seals for several minutes. Three other women watched the attack and a fourth videotaped the beating.
After giving her statement to the responding officers Seals declined to press charges or identify any of the women involved in the attack, according to OPD records. Seals’ refused to press charges for the misdemeanor assault; the officers were obligated by department policy to take a report and close the case without further investigation.

Hammer rises from the Ashes
Stanley Burrell, who is best known as rapper MC Hammer, has suffered his fair share of ups and downs. Although his sophomore album, 'Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em,' made history as the first hip-hop album to reach diamond status, selling over 10 million units and affording the Oakland-born superstar his own cartoon and even his own "Hammer pants," Burrell filed for bankruptcy and his career suffered greatly.

Black News: Madonna Adopts an African Child
BLANTYRE, Malawi – Madonna can get "Mercy," Malawi's highest court ruled Friday. The court overruled a lower court, saying the pop star can adopt 3-year-old Chifundo "Mercy" James.
"I am ecstatic," Madonna said in a statement in which she also thanked the court. "My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her."
Madonna's lawyer Alan Chinula said he would now arrange a passport for Chifundo, which could take several days, and was awaiting word from Madonna on travel plans for the girl.
James Kambewa, a man who claims to be the little girl's father, told CBS news "I'm crying. I need my baby. I don't know where I can find any help," the network said.
But Peter Baneti, an uncle, said the family welcomed Friday's ruling.
"We hope Mercy will be joining Madonna soon," he said by phone from his village just outside Blantyre.

Black News: Will Smith Gets Slammed Hard
Actress Janet Hubert is probably best known as Aunt Vivian on the Will Smithsitcom, 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air.'
The 53-year-old actress was fired from the show in 1993 and replaced by actress Daphne Maxwell Reid.
Now the twice-married, mother of one has penned a memoir, 'Perfection Is Not A Sitcom Mom' that is slated to be released early in 2010.
In the book, Hubert lashes out at Smith and accuses the then-hip hop superstar of sabotaging her and other talented actors who worked on the 30-minute NBC comedy.
In one excerpt from the tome, given toBV Buzz exclusively, Hubert writes: "Smith had people around him who made sure no one outshone him. I was happy to see Don Cheadle become the quality actor that he is, and often wondered how he made it past one episode, as Hilary's boyfriend, being such a fierce actor. No one could be on 'The Tonight Show,' that first season, except Will. And I mean no one."
