Love B or Hate Me

Oprah is saying goodbye to her 25 year talk show on May 25th 2011 of course at 4pm on ABC. Make sure you tune in for the last season finale.

Two and a Half Men actor Charlie Sheen who has been in and out of rehab is demanding $3million an episode for his hit TV sitcom. Sheen told PEOPLE that he is not mad but is instead “passionate about his work.” Charlie Sheen claims that the TV show and network has caused him some psychological damage. “I’m underpaid … when you look at they money [the producers] are making,” said Sheen, 45, adding that he is “tired of pretending I’m not special.” 

Hmmm Chris Brown decided to change up his everyday look to something a little bit more eccentric. Do you like the newest blondie?

Kelsey Grammer and his flight attendant “lover” Kayte Walsh tied the knot last night in New York City. The two had their private ceremoney at the Longacre Theatre in New York—the same Broadway venue where the former Frasier star led a revival of La Cage aux Folles. As stated earlier his ex-wife Camille Grammer and daughter Mason did not attend the wedding.

Kanye West as always, arrived fashionably late to the Chicago Bulls v. Miami Heat game last night in his hometown of Chicago. When the rap star was introduced by the announcer the crowd, instead of cheering, booed him. No one knows why the crowd booed him whether or not it was for his tardiness or for some other odd hatred reason.

Many african american celebrities came out yesterday afternoon to attend Essence Magazine’s 4th Annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon. Check out some of the stars that showed support below.

Keisha Knight Pulliam who is known as “Rudy” on the Cosby Show is all grown up. She recently sat down with Rolling Out Magazine to talk about her new life and what the grown Rudy is up to.

On Still Being Referred To As “Rudy”
I think it depends on if your glass is half empty of half full. I choose to embrace it and look at it in a positive light. I’ve had the opportunity that very few people have to have a positive impact on a generation of people. People have literally grown up with me. So I understand that when they see me, it’s like, “Rudy!” [laughs] It’s funny because younger kids will see me and go, “Oh, no, that’s Miranda” and their parents are like, “Oh, no, no! That’s Rudy!” [laughs] “The Cosby Show” is still on in reruns, so they’re watching both shows, but the kids don’t realize I’ve grown up and the parents have to explain. It’s an honor. I’m pleased to be able to leave such a legacy of my work behind that people can still enjoy.

On Raven Symone’s success
I’m so proud of her and everything she’s done. That says a lot about the person that I am. What God has for me, is for me. What He has for Raven is for Raven. One person’s success doesn’t take away from what you have to accomplish and what your purpose is. We all have different purposes and it’s about fulfilling yours.

On what she’s looking for in a man
The male version of me! I want someone whose values, morals and interests align with mine. It only makes sense. You want to date someone you have something in common with. Wouldn’t you say? You have to be who you are. That’s the biggest problem—people bring representatives in and become who the other person is interested in and who the other person wants them to be, but you have to be true to yourself. When I say that, I mean be true to me and who I am. There’s somebody for everybody, and when you are who you are, that’s when that person is drawn to you. Of course you have to compromise, but you have to be very genuine and honest about who and what you are. You can pretend, but ultimately, people are who they are. That’s when you’ll get drama in the relationship because you end up being who you were all along. You may as well start out as you and cut off the rest of the BS.

Everyone is trying to find something wrong with every little thing Kanye West does. According to contact music, Epilepsy Action has requested the removal of  “All Of The Lights” from YouTube. The organization claims the bursts of lights can trigger epileptic seizures. So far, no reports of this image causing any brain damage. However, I have seen many videos even more staggering and “trippy” than this one. 

A 3 story billboard hanging on a building in Soho, New York is causing everyone in the country to look at Plan Parenthood in a different way. Plan Parenthood has decided to raise awareness of abortions by creating an ad stating, “the most dangerous place for an african american is in the womb.” Now is this right? If anything this is the most offensive thing one can ever say to an african american woman. Ad’s like this are not stopping anytime soon. The company has decided that they will be placing similar ad’s like this in six other cities. 

A New York City local Mae Collazo, 38, who works across the street from the billboard, said she found the billboard incredibly offensive.

“I don’t like it all, what is that supposed to mean?” said Collazo, who is African American, “It makes it sound like all we do is abort our children.”

Yesterday I announced that former Denver Nuggets player Carmelo Anthony has been traded to the New York Knicks. Anthony released a statement yesterday evening to explain how he feels.

“You know this morning I came in early, got some shots in by myself. I still felt like I was just coming in for a shoot around, you know, opposing team…I didn’t…it ain’t really sink in yet that I’m a New York Knick.

I feel like I’m still dreaming right now. It was a dream come true for myself and I’m ready to get down to business right now. I know it’s only twenty-six, twenty-something, twenty-seven games, something like that, left, and I know we gotta gel, we gotta get our chemistry down but at the same time we gotta roll. We’ve got things we’ve got to accomplish. We’ve got goals to reach. It starts now.”

Lupe Fiasco and Wiz Khalifa have both been added on the list this year to perform during MTV’s Spring Break Bash in Las Vegas. The two rappers are apart of the lineup with Pitbull and Jason Derulo as well. The fun starts March 6 through the 10th. Of course there will as always be some surprised guests who will be hanging out with the  gang. Make sure you tune in!
