NEW PICS: MEET THE CAST OF THE 3rd SEASON OF VH1'S 'FLAVOR OF LOVE 3.' PREMIERES MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2008.
Anyway, check out the faces and aliases of the 20 girls who should not only receive a clock (cause Lord knows they don't know what time it is) but also be clocked dead in the face for putting themselves on national television to make fools out of themselves. As I perused through each girl's stats list, I thought to myself, 'this season may be just a wee bit better than the previous two. While there are some girls whose jobs hold such titles as waitress a.k.a. 'Hooters' girl and full time baby mamas, there are other women who actually have career-type jobs such as 22-year old 'Saint Lewis.' She not only works as a hair stylist...but she also happens to own her salon. And New York native, 'Bee Ex' who works as an IT consultant as well as a promotional model. Then you have 'Grayve', a 25-year-old real estate company owner from Holcomb, Mississippi. But what will definitely put a twist on this season's Flavor of Love is the set of identical twins, 'Thing 1' and 'Thing 2'
Flavor of Love 3 premieres Monday, February 11 at 9pm on VH1.

J. DUPRI'S DAD TURNS SCREAM TOUR SUCCESS INTO A MEDIA EMPIRE; DR. JAN ADAMS SAYS HIS MEDICAL PRACTICE IS 'NEARLY DESTROYED' FOLLOWING WEST'S DEATH.
Jermaine Dupri's father, Michael Mauldin, announced Wednesday (January 23) his plans to launch a label based on the popular Scream Tour, which was headed up by T.I. and Ciara last year under the banner Screamfest '07. Mauldin has also announced that R U The Next SCREAM Star? will be coming to a city near you in search of music’s next superstar. R U The Next SCREAM Star? is a national talent contest that aims to discover and establish unsigned artists; molding their dreams into reality. Male and female contestants aged 13-25 within the genres of Hip-Hop, R&B and Pop will compete for the opportunity to receive a recording contract with SCREAM Star Entertainment / Atlantic Records, and a management contract with Mauldin Brand Agency. When considering the enormous success the SCREAM Tour concert series has had and the amazing showcase from an A-list of performers, why not give undiscovered talent with extreme ambition a chance to shine? The Atlantic Records-distributed Scream Star Entertainment will also feature a revamped Web site, ScreamStar.com, which is set to include video highlights from each Scream tour, featuring the likes of Omarion, Ne-Yo and Bow Wow. Last year's monumental New York stop — which saw Jay-Z, Diddy and Kanye West join T.I. onstage — will also be included in the Scream Tour Anthology that's scheduled to go live on the site later this week. ...Posted by SouthernGurl at 1:52 AM 1 Comment

DIDDY IS STILL DIDDY; REP SAYS REPORTS OF THE MOGUL CHANGING HIS NAME ARE FALSE.
For some reason, I hate doing retractions, but in this case, I must. I guess Diddy just wanted to create a bit of a buzz before the new season premiere of Making the Band 4 Season 2: Battle of the Sexes, which is scheduled to air next Monday (January 28). Anyway, despite widespread reports that the millionaire media mogul had changed his (nick)name to Sean John, his rep clarified the situation to MTV News on Thursday (January 24). "Recent reports of a name change are totally false, he is still Diddy," the rep wrote. "He is currently in 'Sean John' mode as the upcoming Sean John fashion show is scheduled for February 8 in New York." Earlier this week it was reported that the 38 year-old rapper/mogul/actor had changed his stage moniker for the fifth or sixth time (depending on who you ask) since starting out in the music industry nearly two decades ago.In the past, Combs has been referred to as Puff Daddy, Puff, Puffy and P. Diddy, before shortening it to Diddy in 2005.

SHAQ'S FINANCIAL STATS EXPOSED TO THE PUBLIC; BALLER EARNS ABOUT $2 MILLION A MONTH; DOLES OUT $22 G'S ON MONTHLY MAID SERVICE & $1,500 ON CABLE..
WHAT KIND OF DISH NETWORK, COMCAST, DIRECT TV AND/OR ANY OTHER TV CABLE PACKAGE HAS YOU SHELLING OUT $1,500.OO A MONTH?!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE BARELY HOME, IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!! But I'll digress....for now.Everybody knows that Shaquille O'Neal
And here's what really puts the lid on the jar: The $114,946 that's listed as "miscellaneous (personal)" -- for us common folk, miscellaneous can be anything from lunch money, feeding the meter, catching a cab, buying groceries, getting your car washed or even pampering yourself--whether it's shopping for a new pair of shoes, treating yourself to a movie or a new DVD, getting mani/pedi once every two weeks...you know...that's how we common folk spend our miscellaneous funds--but for folks like Shaq, I'm willing to bet the backyard (or is it farm?) 'miscellaneous,' could easily mean having a little 'pocket' money to drive up to the Benz dealership and cop a S600 series coupe without having to have to write a check for it. Lucky, wealthy bastard! LOL! It must be nice!

RUMOR OR REAL: SUGE KNIGHT AND PIRU GANG MEMBERS BANNED FROM COMPTON?
Seeking to further curb criminal activities, Compton has asked a judge to ban individuals identified as members of the Mob Piru street gang -- including rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight -- from congregating in a northeast neighborhood. Using a strategy employed by other crime-ridden communities, the court order would be the first gang injunction in a city with a long history of battling street gangs. Authorities contend that the Mob Piru gang has terrorized the neighborhood for years, with buying and selling of drugs, discharging firearms, robbing and assaulting residents and by creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.For the last two years, a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department gang task force has worked to get gang members off the streets with aggressive enforcement of immigration, housing and parole violations. "We've done it without an injunction," said Lt. Paul Pietrantoni, who heads the task force. "We have the lowest murder rate in 20 years in Compton. The injunction is just going to give us one more tool." But the proposed injunction is expected to be controversial because community leaders and others say it opens the door to police harassment of innocent residents. Knight, who is listed as a defendant, dismissed the injunction as "a publicity stunt."
"This is crazy," said Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records. "I'm a 42-year-old businessman, not a gang member. I don't even live in Compton anymore...This injunction names people who are already in jail -- and at least one guy who is long dead."

YING YANG TWINS TO VISIT THE DR. PHIL SHOW TO DISCUSS (OR DEFEND?) THE ISSUE OF WEARING SAGGY PANTS IN PUBLIC.
The issue of urban youth donning their sagging pants in public will be discussed before a nationwide audience. Community organization Hip Hop Government (www.hiphopgovernment.org) has expanded its "Pull 'Em Up" billboard campaign to additional cities in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex and is taking the campaign national. The organization's co-founders Jay Scroggins, Damon Wofford, and Chris Williams have been invited to appear on Dr. Phil's talk show, which will bring the anti-sagging campaign to a national audience when the show airs later this month. Dallas Deputy Pro Tem Mayor Dwaine Caraway, the Rev. Al Sharpton and rap duo Kaine and D-Roc of the Ying Yang twins will also make an appearance. I don't even think I want to watch that episode! LOL!The featured guests were invited to discuss the controversial topic of whether government should regulate the way people wear their clothes and will also discuss hip hop artists accepting responsibility for the effect of their music and lyrics on the hip hop culture. "We are excited for the opportunity to address issues that concern our culture," expressed Williams. "Too often, when members of the hip hop community are in the media, it's for something negative. It feels good to know that we are being invited because we are recognized for our positive contributions to the community."

I swear one day this lil n!ggah gon learn.Lil' Wayne has been released from custody in Arizona, after posting $10,000 bond. The rap star, whose real name is Dwayne M. Carter, is facing three felony drug charges. Federal agents said Wednesday that they found the rapper carrying illegal drugs, including cocaine and marijuana. The artist and 11 others were in a tour bus that was stopped by police on I-8. U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency officials said that a Border Patrol dog sniffed out the drugs. A search turned up nearly 4 ounces of marijuana, a little more than an ounce of cocaine as well as drug paraphernalia. They also found a .40-caliber pistol registered to Lil' Wayne. He has a permit to carry concealed weapons in Florida, but authorities are trying to find out if he violated any weapons laws in Arizona.
In related news, while sitting in a Yuma, Ariz jail cell Wednesday, the rapper was served legal documents pertaining to a lawsuit regarding his 1999 Bentley Arnage. Le Marck deAndre of California, who was refurbishing and repairing the car, claims Weezy stopped making payments on the $91,000 bill. Carter was served with court papers as he sat in jail.

MAG SCANS /EXCERPTS: STEVE HARVEY ON WHY HE SHAVED HIS HEAD, HIS NEW MARRIAGE; SAYS, 'STEVE HARVEY HAS NEVER IN HIS LIFE PUT HIS HANDS ON A WOMAN.'
Last week the blogosphere was bombarded with the images of Steve Harvey on the cover of this week's Jet magazine to announce his symbolization into the prime of life: a big, butterball bald-headed dome and a bulked up frame as part of his 50 & Fly campaign. 'Fly is a guy who has it together from head to toe. He is dressed sharp. When he walks into the room, everybody wants to be with him. He is just cool, just fly. Fly also means being healthy and spiritually strong,' says Harvey who has lost 13 pounds of fat and has dropped from a 41-inch waist to a 35-inch waist in about three months. Below are a couple of excerpts from Harvey's interview with Jet magazine. The comedian/actor/radio show host talks about his new health regimen, his new marriage, the loss of his trademark mid-level 'fro and he sets the record straight regarding those nasty rumors regarding his bitter divorce from his second wife, Mary and her claims accusing him of being physically abusive and tight with his wallet when it comes to his children.STEVE HARVEY ON WHY HE MADE THE DECISION TO SHAVE HIS HEAD AND SLIM DOWN HIS 6-FOOT-2 FRAME, HIS DEFINITION OF BEING 50 & FLY AND HOW HE COPES WITH HIS NEW LOOK: ...a girl said to me, 'Steve you're 50 and you are over the hill.' I started thinking, 'Wow, I am over the hill? I said 'OK, I got to do something to stop this line of thinking. Because at 50, I should not be thought of as over the hill. At 50, a man ought to feel that he is on top of the hill. At 50, you are still fly...I don't miss my hair. I've got enough TV shows in reruns, enough photographs and enough Jet covers for me and everybody else to look back and see my hair. Going bald was like a spiritual cleansing. Shaving my head was more of a spiritual thing for me. I wanted to be free. And then after reading T.D. Jakes' book (Reposition Yourself: Living Life Without Limits), I said to myself, at 50, I can still reinvent myself. I'm going to change what people have been seeing of me. I created the term 50 & Fly on my radio show, but I wasn't really looking it. I didn't have any definition. I didn't have any shape. I had love a potbelly and handles. I've been telling people you can be 50 & Fly, but when I took my clothes off, I wasn't looking fly!
HARVEY ON HIS DIVORCE SETTLEMENT AND CHILD SUPPORT ISSUES: Everything that I do is legal and everything I do is above board. My divorce is over and it's done. And God knows the truth and so does everyone involved on the legal front. People try to embarrass a celebrity, thinking somebody is going to pay them some shut-up money. I have no shut-up money for nobody. And the truth is I take care of all of my children, every last one of them. There is not one of my children who wants or needs for anything.
As far as any future projects are concerned, negotiations are underway to bring Harvey's radio show to BET as a late night TV talk show. In March he'll kick off a comedy tour with Original Queen of Comedy comedienne, Mo'Nique. And in April, Harvey plans to release a fitness DVD; he also plans to take off his shirt on April 7 to show off his six-pack...which is currently 2 packs short of a six pack! In the meantime and in between time, he continues to mentor youth through the Disney Dreams Academy and his clothing line, The Harvey Collection, remains a top seller. You all can catch him this Sunday (January 27th) as he hosts BET's Celebration of Gospel event.
A little bit of tidbits: The comedian has three kids from his two previous marriages with ages ranging from 10 years of age to 25 years of age; and Marjorie also has three children from her previous marriages ranging from 20 years of age to 11 years of age.
Harvey resides in a brand new 5-story mansion with his wife in Atlanta and commutes back and forth from the ATL to New York to tape his morning radio program where he brings the spiritual awareness that he and Marjorie share. He starts off each day with a 12-minute segment about his relationship with God. 'People don't like to hear you talk about God, especially the devil and the devil's workers. But I talk about God so loud for 12 minutes every day. I feel a responsibility to share my relationship with God, which is not a perfect one. He's perfect, He keeps His word, but my job is to share my relationship with God and be honest about it...God is our Father and He doesn't stop loving us, sometimes He's got to chastise us, sometimes He's got to let us go out there and fall on our face.'
BLOGGER'S NOTE: Yall will have to read the rest of the article in the magazine because dude talked waaaaaaaaaaaay too much in order for me to cover everything he 'shared' with his fans and whatnot. He seriously needs to look into transforming his radio show into a Sunday morning talk show...if there is such a thing. I heart him and all...but I'm just saying.
