Chris Tucker, Dave Chappelle & Baron Davis were spotted lunching in LA the other day.? Hopefully they’re working on some new ish cause it’s been way too long!? Chris is gonna have to hit the gym though if it’s an action flick… 😕

Ciara was spotted gettin her party on after the BET Awards show in L.A. ?She has really stepped her fashion game up lately. ? Word on the street is that she has just signed a lucrative modeling contract with Wilhemina Modeling Agency and is also planning her own clothing line:
Speaking about her latest venture into the?fashion world, the R&B singer commented, “Modeling has always been one of my aspirations.” Her deal with Wilhelmina will see her featured in its clothing and?fragrance?campaigns.On her planned fashion line, she’s reported to have been in talks with retail clothing chain Steve & Barry’s to create an affordable clothing line that represents her personal style. About that she revealed, “I have a couple of cool things that I’m working on. The coolest thing about Steve & Barry’s is they cater to everyday people. I won’t say that my line will be like theirs, I want to stay true to who I am, but most importantly it has to be affordable.” ?(Source)
ATL in da house! ?Shawty Lo was spotted at the 2008 BET awards and was promptly asked about the T.I. “beef”…Lo responded that there really isn’t a beef since “he (T.I.) ain’t gone do nuthin anyway!” ?These two really crack me up with their sly diggs at each other. ?I guess that’s why I keep posting this B.S. ?cause it’s strictly for entertainment purposes only! ?So laugh with me why dontcha! 🙂

The BET awards aired last night, and unlike last year…there were no major arrests. ?There were however, some major disappointments (*cough* Usher) ?but I won’t focus on the negative. ?What I will focus on is the great performances:Ne-Yo…Ne-Yo..Ne-Yo! ? You know you did your thang! ?Alicia Keys bringing out TLC, SWV and EnVogue was genius. ?Maxwell…where you been man?! 😯 and you know I have to mention Jeezy, Ciara, Ludacris, Big Boi and all the A-town players just for GP!
Check out my favorite performances after the jump and also peep?BlogXilla’s play by play of the show over at?Crunk&Disorderly.?
Time heals all wounds right? ?At least that’s what they say (whoever “they” are)…
Anyway, time definitely hasn’t made my boo Shaquille O’neal hate Kobe Bryant any less than he did last year or the year before. ?And since Kobe just suffered a major loss last week against the Celtics, Shaq decided to rub salt in his wounds by bustin a freestyle about it.
Problem is…Shaq’s lil law enforcement hobby may be in jeopardy. ?Seems as though his freestyle has cost him his badge in Maricopa County, Arizona. ?The sheriff there, Joe Arpaio, known for forcing inmates to eat green bologna and wear pink underwear while working in chain gangs has called for Shaq’s badge for use of foul and derogatory language.
I want his two badges back,?Arpaio told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
“Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they’re fired. I don’t condone this type of racial conduct.” (Source)
Shaq has said that it was all in fun and if you watch the video, you’ll find it quite funny as well. ?I see no reason to take his badge back…but it’s not like he needs it anyway!
Hey Shaq…I know you’re in the “A” this week, I got a badge for you boo 😉 ?come holla at me when you leave the club…K?
T.I. covers the August 2008 issue of XXL Magazine. ?Inside the issue, T.I. addresses his federal gun charges and how his life has changed in the aftermath. ?He also explains why he chose to seek weapons and also why he doesn’t blame anyone for the decisions he made that got him in that predicament. ?In addition to the obvious questions about the gun charges & snitching, T.I. also told XXL that he feels that the beef between he and fellow Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo is all just a misunderstanding. ?
T.I. on reading blogs (What up Tip! 😉 ) ~
?”I look. ?I check ’em out. ?I separate my feelings. ?I can’t take it personal. ?I look at it like that’s how they do everybody…”
