TONE-DEAF B.F.F.'s LIL AL B. SURE & LANDON BROWN BOTH GET 'ROCKED' FROM MTV'S 'ROCK THE CRADLE' IN DOUBLE ELIMINATION EPISODE.

*Shout out to elle for making me aware of that serious typo in the blog post title!*

What did I tell yall? I'll tell yall what I told yall. Three weeks ago, I told yall Bobby's oldest boy Landon wouldn't last too long on MTV's semi-celeb talent show Rock the Cradle. Isn't that what I said? Yeah, I said it. Now, I also said I could see Al B. Sure's son, Lil Al, lasting in the competition longer than his B.F.F., Landon. But what did he go do? He went and made a liar out of me. Both of their tone deaf selves were 'rocked' from 'cradle' in a double-elimination episode of the show last night due to their horrendous, murder-on-the-ears, slaughtering editions of their fathers biggest hits from back in the day. Up first: Lil Al attempts to master his daddy's falsetto-laced late-80s single Nite and Day by making it sound more hip-hop to show off his vocal range. Final result? Duuuuuuuuuude? In week two, he struggled through his performance of Maxwell's A Woman's Worth. So, how in the hell did he think he'd pull off singing Nite and Day?

And little Landon mucked up the biggest hit of his father's entire life My Prerogative so much, you would've thought Bobby was beating his ass plantation-style with the looks he gave to him from the VIP area. I laughed my ass off (click here to see my expression when he tried to make up for his off-key singing and off-rhythm dancing by showing the crowd his chest! Again, duuuuuuuuuuuuude? And in true Bobby Brown form, after telling a camera man to get out of his face, he singer later revealed he didn't want Landon to perform his 'signature song' (guess he didn't want his own son attempting to take his shine...but hell, he even threw a bitch-fit when Britney released her remake of the song...which I can kind of understand). Anyhoo, what really put the lid on the jar last week was when Landon made Rock the Cradle history when he garnered the lowest scores of the season, ranging from 2.5 to 4.5.

YES, I HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO SAY ON THIS SUBJECT. JUST CLICK 'READ MORE AFTER THE JUMP!' ON THE BOTTOM LEFT.

In the end, they came in together. They left out together. Then they had the nerve to act as if they were surprised at being eliminated together. And it's because of their eliminations, along with Akeiba's from last week, that I have no other reason whatsoever to watch another episode of that show again. Therefore and thus and such, this is my last Rock the Cradle review. What the future holds for their musical career remains to be seen...let's just hopes it stays that way.

Watch Landon's and Lil Al's performances encore performances here.

REMEMBERING LISA 'LEFT EYE' LOPES: MAY 27, 1971-APRIL 25,2002.

Today, April 25, 2008 marks the 6th anniversary of the death of Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes, a founding member and creative force behind TLC, the most successful-selling R&B/Hip-Hop female group of all-time. The singer was killed as she was driving on a Honduran road on that fateful Thursday evening six years ago. Seven other people, including Lopes' brother, Ronald, and sister, Raina, were in the Mitsubishi Montero sports utility vehicle when the crash happened near Jutiapa, 150 miles north of Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital. The vehicle rolled several times, throwing Lisa out of the window. She died instantly from severe head injuries. She was 30-years-old. Her funeral was held at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia. Over 30,000 fans came from all over the world to bid her farewell. Engraved upon her white casket was her verse from Waterfalls: "Dreams are hopeless aspirations, in hopes of coming true, believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you."

TLC, formed in 1991 (with remaining surviving members Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas) in Atlanta was signed to LaFace Records and produced by super-producer Dallas Austin. Some of the trio's biggest award-winning hits include: What About Your Friends, Baby, Baby, Baby, Creep, Red Light Special, Unpretty, Waterfalls and No Scrubs.

GARY COLEMAN & WIFE HEADING TOWARDS DIVORCE COURT....LITERALLY!

Looks like Star Jones and her sugar-pie Al aren't the only celeb-couple heading toward divorce court. And I mean that literally. Little Gary Coleman, the former real-life version of a 40-year-old virgin, and his wife of several months, 22-year-old Shannon Price will appear in a two-part episode of Divorce Court next Thursday, May 1st. I knew when I saw those two on the Tyra Banks Show, that they weren't going to last. Hell, who am I kidding? I knew they wouldn't last when it was revealed that they'd gotten married! Anyhoo, here's a description of the episode(s) from the show's official website:

Today on a special two-part session of Divorce Court, 80’s child star Gary Coleman and his new wife Shannon have come to Divorce Court seeking Judge Toler’s advice on their troubled marriage before it’s too late. Gary says he met Shannon on a movie set and was glad to know Shannon did not know who he was when they first met. Shannon proposed a year later after an argument. Gary is in love with Shannon and calls her his star protector. Shannon says she is tired of Gary’s anger issues and blames her for anything that goes wrong and is sick of playing the blame game.
