Kanye West Wins Big Turkey + Kim Kardashian Wins Black Friday

ATLien — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:27:21 +0000

Kanye West won another prestigious award recently. In an online Thankgsiving reader’s poll on AOL, West was voted biggest “turkey” of 2009. The five-day survey wrapped on Monday with 42 percent of nearly 75,000 voters honoring West with the holiday title.

Kanye beat out four less famous fowl-ups for the dubious distinction, including Jon Gosselin (29 percent), Levi Johnston (16 percent), Spencer Pratt (10 percent) and Michael Lohan (3 percent).

The apparent reason for Kanye’s award, Taylor Swift, was also in the running for an award. Swift received 2nd place in the “Who would you like to invite to Thanksgiving dinner?” poll, losing to George Clooney. The Oscar-winning hunk nabbed 39 percent of the votes, with Swift getting 32 percent.

Americans who voted were torn between whose Thanksgiving celebration they’d like to attend. 34 percent chose the Jackson family, 31 percent picked Tom, Katie and Suri Cruise and 17 percent chose the Gosselins (although I doubt they dined together).

Socialite Kim Kardashian was the celeb most wanted to shop with on Black Friday. She received 30 percent of votes in that category, with Victoria Beckham trailing with 26 percent.

I didn’t vote, but I think Jon Gosselin is a way bigger Turkey than Kanye will ever be…. and as for shopping with Kim, only if she sharing her credit limit. I can do bad all by myself…

Happy Thanksgiving! Ludacris, Akon, and Big Boi did a lil good in the hood this Thanksgiving by spreading some hope to the less fortunate. The hip-hop entrepreneurs distributed over 2,000 turkeys and collard greens to several needy families Tuesday during a turkey drive at South Cobb High School in Austell, Ga.

Flix/Audio ~ Zone 4’s Turkey Giveaway + One on One w/Polow Da Don

Polow Da Don and the entire Zone 4, Inc. crew held their 2nd annual Turkey GiveAway Tuesday (Nov. 25th) in Southwest Atlanta. In addition to receiving a free turkey, families were given the opportunity to enter a drawing to receive free rent/mortgage for a year. The crowd was astronomical as V-103s Greg Street did a live remote while Polow, Keri Hilson and Rich Boy all mingled amongst the crowd.

I cornered Polow for a lil one-on-one (get your minds out the gutter!) and he and I reminisced about growing up on the southside.
