It looks like someone is out to get Beyoncé because her new Album “B-Day” is officially online. That’s right ladies and gentleman if you want to listen to “B-Day” all you have to do is go to these sites HIP AND POP and BEARSHARE to listen. It’s sad that someone would do this, but hey you’ve got to be more protective of your music B, you just have to. The same thing happened to Tyrese not too long ago with his Double LP and now he's rerecording. Though O1LT.com has a strict no share music policy, you can go to this sites to listen to tracks.B-DAY PREVIEW

OK how do you go from having pictures posted all on the internet with you getting your d*ck sucked by some dancer/groupie (allegedly), to now being gay? That’s what mediatakeout.com is reporting. In their exclusive report titled: “Ne-Yo reportedly tells Essence he’s Gay”, they are claiming that a leaked email from Barbra Stradoff, who is somehow affiliated with Essence( Though I highly doubt that), has Ne-Yo confessing to the world that yes he is in fact gay. By now I am sure all of you know how much I love mediatakeout.com, and I think the main reason(s) I love them are because of these outrageous stories they publish that I almost always denounce.

Bottom line it is my belief that Ne-Yo =No Homo. Don’t ask me how I know, because at the end of the day I don’t. Have I seen him in the throws of passion with another dude, No! Have I seen him in the throws of passion with a chick, Again No! So who really knows, but I just don’t see it. What would he have to gain by doing this so early in his career? It just doenst make any sense. And after all that, why would he confess to Essence Magazine? Wouldn’t he go to Vibe, XXL, or Clik, something the kids read? I mean I’m sorry Essence but your target audiences are the grown and sexy crowd. No one under the age 30 reads Essence (my opinion). If anyone would beleive such nonsense, then you'll beleive anything.

According to RNBDIRT.COM, Ne-Yo is the latest artist to fall victim to a phoney internet posting. An item making the rounds claims to quote the singer telling "Barbra Stradoff" of Essence Magazine in their October issue that he's gay, where he supposedly explained, "You now this world we live in is full of judgement, resulting in one of the reasons why it took me so long to come out of the closet." The item includes the incorrect usage of "their" and includes the following "complete" sentence: "Worrying that it would destroy his image." The item is not mentioned at the magazine's web site, nor is there any Google match for "Barbra Stradoff" - unheard of for a magazine writer. The errors are typical in slanderous fake gossip reports that have plagued several successful black artists, including Bow Wow (a false report he was molested by a bodyguard), Ciara (a false report she was actually a man), Kelly Rowland (a false report she had an unplanned pregnancy), and Michelle Williams (a false report she had been kicked out of Destiny's Child after her BET fall).

Damn people for having way too much time on their hands making petitions. If you’re a fan of the highly successful, nationally syndicated “Wendy Williams Experience” then you are aware that she has recently added a new sidekick Charlamagne the God from South Carolina. Well it seems that fans aren’t happy with the new addition and he is rustling fans feathers.

In a online petition, fans are making the following complaint(s)“Not only does he disrespect Wendy's staff and unpaid interns by referring to them as donkeys on air, but he also insults fans of Wendy Williams. These fans have supported her from day one and don't deserve to be treated this way.” I will admit that Charlamagne can be a bit abrasive with his commentary, but I also think he balances the show. People need to give the man a chance, because if you can remember accurately people weren’t always fond of the now illustrious Wendy Williams. She earned every bit of success and respect she has. Back in the day she was hated by most, but she stuck to her guns and made most of us love her. People also need to realize that this world is made up of different kinds of people and "The Expeirience" embraces everybody(Im assuming). I say let the man do his thing, and just B E Z.

You all can save your petitioning because they don’t stack up to a hill of beans to top tier companies. If you don’t like it, don’t listen.C-THA GOD'S ONLINE PETITION

Last week in one of my “Random Thoughts” I expressed my opinion about Outkast and the breakup rumor(s) that has been surrounding them pretty much ever since their extremely successful solo albums “Speakerboxx/The Love Below” dropped back in 2002. I just a man with an opinion and at the end of the day what do I really know anyway, but I do feel that Outkast is no longer. If you watch them in interviews recently their body language speaks for itself. They have outgrown each other, which happens a lot in life. How many friends/coworkers have you had that you just outgrew each other, there wasn’t anything necessarily bad about it, you just moved on?

MSNBC is backing up my doubts about Outkast future as a whole, but please note, I said it first.FULL STORY

This weekend as I was flipping through the channels whenI happen to stop on MTV to watch an episode of "MTV Cribs”. One of their featured cribs was Miami’s Alternative Group, and I say Alternative because I am not able to put them in a specific group. They’re not Hip-Hop, there not R&B, and they certainly aren’t pop, so I think Alternative is the appropriate term to be used when addressing Pretty Ricky. But what made me roll my eyes so long that I almost fell asleep, was how people are still perpetrating a fraud with there status in the game.

First off they pull up in a blue Bentley, to some mansion in Miami. They show off there Ninja motorcycles, and gave all of us the grand tour of their home. OK lets cut the crap for a moment people, did their album even go platinum because all I saw throughout their home were gold plaques. You’d be a fool if you believed that some of these stars have half of what they claim. I mean I know it happens, but my question is “what’s the point?” Or is it maybe the kids believe these Bentley’s, mansions, and 200,000 dollar necklaces actually belong to them? *Note you’re not buying a Bentley off of a Gold Album, and if you do own one then that’s probably all you own.

My myspace friend, and friend in the name of entertainment news Myra Panache has offered another blind item for us to figure out.

This washed up R&B singer (female) has been a drug addict for years. She just can't beat her habit. When she use to perform in the bay area, her and another R&B singer (who beat her habit) use to hang out at a big time drug dealer's house in the Oakland Hills and get high between performances, to the point of passing out. This singer seeks out black female celebrities with drug problems, befriends them, and freeloads off them for drugs-because she is broke and near homeless. This is her motto of operation and this is part of the reason her career sunk, she had become unreliable and moody. Hint: She and a male soul singer (well known) damn near overdosed on crack and heroin. This episode caused him to scale back on his use and distance himself from her.

Eminem has gotten out of control again. It’s being reported that he has assaulted none other then Hugh Heffner’s main chick (now isn’t that an oxymoron) Kendra Wilkerson, do we care?FULL STORY

Everybody knows I love me some Janet Jackson, but this picture is too much. In my opinion Janet doesn’t need to take pictures like this. Leave these kinds of poses to the girls who need other things to sell records. I know she’s got the great body and lost all the weight yada yada yada, but I just think she is too mature to be basically spread eagle, that’s just my opinion.
