1. Is it that time of the month? Blaming a woman’s anger on her period is the quickest way to ensure her rage will now be focused on you. It doesn’t matter if she blows up at you like clockwork every 28 days — just don’t say it.

2. When are you due? Unless her belly is indisputably housing a baby, never assume a woman is pregnant.  We will, however, accept offers of seats even if we’re just bloated.

3. Smile. There is nothing more infuriating than being told to “Smile” when you don’t feel like it.. Aren’t we allowed to have a bad day?

4. That’s not the way my ex did it. You’re better off just avoiding the topic of ex-girlfriends in general, unless accompanied by phrases like “vastly inferior to my current girlfriend.”

Wisconsin woman says she found a wad of cash in a pair of boots she purchased at a thrift store.

Dimitra Anderson said she found the undisclosed amount of cash when she tried a pair of boots and found a sock with a bank envelope inside each of the boots, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Sunday.

The newspaper said Anderson bought the boots for $3, and did not mention the cash she found to the clerk.

Anderson and her husband Rick contacted the Journal Sentinel for help in finding the loot’s owner. If they can’t find the person, the couple say they plan to donate the money to charity.

“I knew I wasn’t going to keep it, no matter how much it was. If it’s going to be mine, it’s going to the Rescue Mission or the Humane Society,” Dimitra Anderson said.

This is straight humor!

Something about a women playing tennis in high heels gotta love it!

Some spectacled strippers are looking to score some votes of their own, just for looking like Sarah Palin. A Sin City strip club says it plans to host a lookalike contest in honor of the GOP vice presidential nominee, and is bringing in women from gentlemen’s clubs all over the country to compete.

They’ll be judged by club guests on how they resemble Palin while wearing a swimsuit and how well they debate, according to news release.

A vote will determine the winner. The prize? A $10,000 package including a trip to Washington for Inauguration Day in January.

Officials for Club Paradise Men’s Club in Las Vegas say they’re holding the contest because Palin competed as a beauty queen years ago and is widely impersonated today.

Alton Ellis, the Jamaican singer known as “The Godfather of Rocksteady”, passed away Friday, October 10 at Hammersmith Hospital in London. He was 70 years old.

According to an AP report citing hospital officials, “Ellis died peacefully,” and “his family did not wish to release details.” However, an obituary on the Trojan Records site points to a longstanding battle with cancer of the lymph glands as the cause of Ellis’ death.

Ellis rose to prominence in Jamaica as a ska singer for Clement “Coxsone” Dodd’s Studio One label in the early 60s, but his most influential contributions to Jamaican music came with his jump to Arthur “Duke” Reid’s Treasure Isle in the mid-60s. It was there that Ellis pioneered rocksteady, which preceded reggae by slowing down the tempo of ska, putting more direct focus on the bass, and aping the sweeter, lighter singing style of American R&B stars.

Both solo and with his vocal group the Flames, Ellis’ hits for included “I’m Still in Love With You”, “Get Ready – Rock Steady”, “Cry Tough”, “Girl I’ve Got a Date”, “My Willow Tree”, and “Dance Crasher”.

In the 70s, Ellis moved to England, where he started his own Alltone label and record store. In 2006, he was inducted in the International Reggae and World Music Awards Hall of Fame.

The Black Mafia Family, a nationwide ring of high-volume cocaine distributors, better known as BMF, has been sold to DuBose Entertainment.

Announced today, the terms of the sale were not made public. However, a statement from the company declared that a TV series, similar to The Wire, was being scripted. The statement also alluded to a film script in development as well.

Per DuBose‘ report, “Brothers Demetrious ‘Big Meech’ Flenory and Terry Flenory were sentenced to 30 years in prison for operating a multi-state criminal enterprise involving cocaine distribution. ‘Big Meech,’ the leader of the notorious BMF, lived a lavish lifestyle that he generously shared with his members garnering him a level of notoriety and celebrity status usually reserved for hip hop royalty. Authorities estimate the operation began in Detroit during the 1990s and eventually expanded to Missouri, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, California and Texas.“

Meech had been widely known in Hip Hop for his close association with Young Jeezy [click to read] as well as BMF Entertainment’s own artist Bleu DaVinci [click to read].

“This is a complex crime story that weaves elements of humanity, a strong family bond, street-level survival and opulence with real consequences,” says James DuBose. “The acquisition of the Black Mafia Family story reflects my mission to pursue contemporary and authentic stories.“

DuBose also recently announced a partnership with Disturbing Tha Peace’s Chaka Zulu and Jeff Dixon on their own venture Ebony Son Entertainment.

Kids take notice everybody wants to walk the gangster walk but nobody wants to pay the consequenses. This is how it ends if your lucky most likely it’s an early trip to the cemetary.

Brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory were sentenced to 30 years in prison on Friday Sept. 12, for running the cocain ring known as The Black Family Mafia. BMF is an organization that hailed out of Detroit and distributed cocain and other drugs throughout the US. It has been said that rapper Young Jeezy among many other music industry types was associated with BMF.

Via AHH:

Demetrius and Terry were apprehended in 2005 and indicted under the CCE (Continuing Criminal Enterprise) law, which like RICO charges carry life sentences.

Under the federal prison system, there is no parole option.

Seeking to avoid spending the rest of their natural lives in prison, the brothers pleaded guilty in November 2007 to the CCE charges and laundering drug money in hopes of serving the minimum 20 year sentence.

However, evidence presented by prosecutors resulted in 30 year sentences for both men. BMF was founded by the brothers in Detroit during the late 1980s.

After quickly securing valuable contacts with international coke suppliers, the organization grew to a nationwide criminal conspiracy within a few years.

The group began to draw unwanted attention from federal agents in 2003 once they established a high-profile operation in Atlanta, where they erected billboards, held lavish parties, created DVDs, and boasted of their connections with rappers Young Jeezy and Fabolous.

Also notable in the organization’s downfall was Meech’s involvement in a brazen 2003 shootout in the Buckhead nightclub section of Atlanta that left two men dead, including Sean “Diddy” Combs’ bodyguard Anthony “Wolf” Jones.

In 2005, agents raided several key BMF operations in Georgia, Michigan, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, and California.

To date, those raids have resulted in over 150 indictments of BMF members or associates, effectively dismantling the drug empire.

According to authorities, these convictions of BMF’s top members end a 15 year investigation into the Black Mafia Family’s criminal enterprise.

At their peak, Demetrius (age 40) and Terry (age 38) Flenory are estimated to have controlled a cocaine empire worth $270 million.

Last night VMA was sub par. Can someone tell me who this Tokyo band is? I must be getting old.

I honestly think that somehow some way, Britney Spears management and/or label paid someone at MTV off. Honestly, this chick was a train wreck last year and her videos sucked. Now all of a sudden, she was in all the VMA commercials, had a buzz of a suprise performance, and then goes on to win all these awards. Are you kidding me? Not even Britney herself believed it. She got up there and was like “Ummmm thanks”.

Alright thats enough. I cant believe I’m blogging about Britney. The highlight of the night was Kanye West’s performance. This dude is constantly putting out cutting edge material. I’ll admit sometime his style is kind of gay, but real recognize real and Kanye has been consistently dropping the truth. All his latest material is something sounding new; “Swagger Like Us”, “Jockin Jay-Z”, and now this new banger he droped out of now where “Love Lockdown”.

This is probably off Kanye’s new album set to drop early winter. I am not a big fan of the T-Pain auto-tune but somehow he pulls this off very well. This guy is changing the game before our eyes.
