   "Today our sources dropped a bomb on us; we heard that comedians Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are both on stage in New York working out at an undisclosed comedy club, and they heard that they have had discussions about doing a comedy show together! Word is if they make those plans a reality and things go well for that comedy show, they may even do a tour!
    As you already know, this news is huge since Chappelle has already been touring the country doing comedy shows which many believe he’s doing because he is ramping up a tour on his own, and Rock was recently on Broadway in the The Motherf*cker With the Hat, which is a play by Stephen Adly Guirgis.If the news of this is for real (which we can say that we think it is) this is going to be one of the biggest tours ever produced."(http://www.eurweb.com/2011/10/chris-rock-dave-chappelle-plotting-comedy-tour/)

   Chris replied with this tweet:

    "Creator, Keenen Ivory Wayans is working with FOX to revive the classic series.It’ll all begin with two half-hour specials of the original show in 2012 as part of the network’s 25th anniversary celebration. But there’s a bit of a twist. The specials will include new faces and fresh musical performances.
If the shows get a good response, we might be seeing “In Living Color” on a regular basis.
    “In Living Color” debuted in 1990 and broke stereotypes by employing a cast of mostly black comedians and introducing hip-hop and dancing to mainstream television. It helped launch the careers of Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx and David Alan Grier. It ended its run in 1994 after five seasons.Speaking of Carrey and Foxx, there’s no word yet on whether they will appear on the show, or if Jennifer Lopez (J Lo) will return and do a special appearance as a dancing Fly Girl."(http://www.eurweb.com/2011/10/oldie-but-goodie-in-living-color-returning-to-a-tv-near-you/)

    Things have gotten so bad that this topic has became a trending topics on Twitter like #ThingsLongerThanKimsMarriage and #kimkmarriagewasshorter lmao. I feel bad that this couple had to indoor such a public relationship and break-up. Also the word is that the relationship has been going good at all, so I guess it's better to walk away from the relationship before things got worst.

So I have to admit that I stopped watching Jersey Shore as I could not sit idly by as my brain cells died one by one watching those guidos and guidettes bash their heads into walls and make oily gorilla sex, etc.  But I still marginally care what goes on with them (from an anthropological standpoint, I promise!) and so I was pleasantly surprised to see these pictures of Snooki dressed up as a cat for a furry convention Halloween.  I'm pretty sure that Snooki goes as a cat every year, but whatevs.  Here she is.  (via celebuzz)

But you knew this.  Alas, Kurt Russell never really knew what was going on.  (via toplessrobot)

We all knew it would come eventually, but I don't think anyone expected it to come this soon.  According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian is filing for divorce from Kris Humphries after only two months of marriage.  According to Towleroad, Ryan Seacrest confirmed that he had spoken to Kim and that the rumors are true.  The photos of the back of Kris's head at Kim's 31st birthday were a clear indication of the way things were going.  Clearly, although Kris had the genes that Kim was looking for, he wasn't really her "type".  Not to worry, Kim.  I'm sure Reggie Bush is ready to drop the Kim clone he managed to pick up while on vacation in Florida and take you (and your ass) back.

     So the word is that Marlo Hampton will no longer be a part of the cast of the hit show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" (RHOA). First I was confused on who Marlo Hampton was, then I realized that she was supposed to be one of the new women on the show. I am like wow how can you be dropped from the show and it hasn't even been aired, even though this lady wont be on the show this season it is still due to be a great season, so look out for this season of "RHOA."
      "Although being spotted in filming sessions with Cynthia Bailey, NeNe Leakes, Sheree Whitfield and Phaedra Parks, Hampton’s not a cast member, and allegedly for good reason.Before you go back looking at previous reports, yes a contract was drawn up for Hampton, but the network did a little background check and found her extensive criminal record.She’s been arrested six times for various offenses, says Straight From The A.
     Oh and she’s pretty much a liar. She told the network that NFL player Chris Grant is was her fiancée, but according to sources, uh … he never popped the question and he’s refusing to back claims that they were ever engaged. Nice try Hampton.She might, however, get her one-hour of fame since she did go on the trip to South Africa with the cast and has been shooting scenes with the ladies. We shall see.Season 4 of “RHOA” premieres on Nov. 6 at 9 p.m. EST. on Bravo."(http://www.eurweb.com/2011/10/marlo-hampton-gets-cut-from-rhoa/)

People will definitely see many different pieces of me.”(http://www.eurweb.com/2011/10/ledisi-tour-selling-out-fast/)

    So the word is that there were two managers of Florida Domino's felt the need to burn down a Papa John because they felt that it was"too much competition." I believe the idea to shut down the competition, but not literally. These two are really some ride or dies for their jobs, but now they're in jail, so I feel there arson was in vain LOL. SMH people are  crazy.
     The Papa John’s was gutted in the Oct. 20 fire. Sean Everett Davidson, 23, and Bryan David Sullivan, 22 were arrested Thursday and Friday, respectively, and booked on an arson charge each and were being held in jail. The Star-Banner of Ocala reports that police are still looking for an ignition device that the men claimed they made but did not use to start the fire. Police said the suspects described a device made out of a clack, a nine-volt battery, a golf ball-size amount of black gunpowder and a plastic bag, the newspaper reported."(http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45091289/ns/us_news-weird_news/#.Tq1k40OImU8)

Obviously tired of being compared to one of those squatters I see in NYC sitting with their scraggly dog in front of Whole Foods or McDonalds looking like their meth lab exploded, Lindsay Lohan has bitten the bullet and gotten new veneers.  Now if only she could get a new family then she might be able to get her life back in order. It's funny.  I had a pseudo-argument with some customers at work about Lindsay Lohan as they thought La Lohan was personally responsible for her life being a mess, while I argued that her messy parents were the real reason why Lindsay was a disaster, and we just had to agree to disagree.  I still believe that Lindsay did not have a chance with those parents of her and I am not backing down!

I don't know how I missed this, but it appears that Dana White told USA Today that he regrets his past homophobic remarks and asserts that he is not a homophobe.  Allegations of homophobia in the UFC, of which Dana White is president, have been rampant and reached a head when a number of groups wrote a letter to UFC sponsor Anheuser-Busch regarding the company's sponsorship of what they see as a homophobic organization.  Dana White went on to tell USA Today that he is not a homophobe and that he thinks there is a gay fighter in the UFC and he "[wishes] that he would come out."  Certainly, these comments by Dana White suggest damage control and the importance of maintaining a neutral image in the community as the UFC becomes mainstream.  But, knowing the fan base of the UFC, does White sincerely wish that the "gay fighter" will "come out"?





Wow.  There is no doubt in my mind that homophobia is rampant in the UFC and it is interesting to speculate on where this homophobia comes from.  If anyone recalls the early days of mixed martial arts, there was a lot of oiled up men wearing boxer brief-like underwear or speedos in the ring (the "octagon" in the UFC), and it is interesting to note that the UFC moved away from that five or six years ago, to the extent that it is relatively rare to see anyone in skimpy attire in the octagon in this day and age.  I shall not speculate on whether or not White himself is a homophobe as the UFC leadership seems like a boys club or the lounge at the fire station and I'm sure all sorts of unsavory things are said.  No surprise there.  Does White, however, have a responsibility to crack down on homophobic language by his fighters?  The UFC is a business and many of the people watching it are latent homosexuals homophobes and White risks alienating the fan base by taking a firm stand against homophobia.



Although I am so tempted, I will not speculate about who in the UFC is the hypothetical gay fighter that White is sure exists.  There are lots of eligibles; indeed, I may say that Quintin 'Rampage' Jackson, known for his comments about 'fags', etc. may himself be gay with his teeny little Asian wife.  Did I step in a puddle of mud there?  Or perhaps it is 'The Count' Michael Bisping with his big mouth and 'quick to take offense' attitude.  In terms of Bisping, I agree with Mayhem Miller who speculates that Bisping probably has a tiny penis, as this seems sensible to me.  [Yes, I realize this post is rambling but it's 11 o'clock at night]  So who is the gay UFC fighter and when will he come out?  We shall just have to wait and see.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, of Third Rock From The Sun and Inception fame, is a dude that usually looks much younger than his actual age but in a set of recently released images from The Dark Knight Rises, he looks like he's ready to get his AARP membership renewed.  What happened?  On top of that, there remains speculation on which character in the Batman canon he's actually playing.  Although IMDB.com lists him as playing someone called John Blake (information which seems to be confirmed by all of the nerdy sites saying the same, months ago), a character which only has a brief appearance in a comic strip featuring Batman, according to Bleeding Cool, the consensus seems to be that this may be a ruse and that Gordon-Levitt may actually be playing Robin.  More of this to come!  (via thesuperficial)

    So now that Smith is much more seasoned and even getting a little gray, will he still be the star of the movie?It’s still unclear on which direction the studio is going with the project and if Will Smith will be in it this time around.Actually, the script is being written without Smith, but it isn’t quite what the masses want.The actor, however, is set to star in M. Night Shayamlan’s “One Thousand AE” with his son, Jaden."(http://www.eurweb.com/2011/10/will-smith-may-not-be-in-independence-day-2/)

     "As previously reported Dallas, Texas police report that a man has been targeting Black women between the ages of 50 and 60 that belong to the sorority. He is estimated to be in his late 30s to mid-40s, 5 feet seven inches to 6 feet tall and 250 to 300 pounds with short hair, and possibly a receding hairline.Delta Sigma Theta issued a warning this week, telling its members not to wear their colors, remove their vehicle stickers, jewelry, clothing and accessories.
   Cynthia M. A. Butler-McIntyre, National President of the sorority, said it isn't certain that the victims were targeted because of their affiliation, but “we are erring on the side of caution” and advising members “to take the necessary precautionary measures.”Four women have been sexually assaulted so far. Be safe out there ladies, there are some sick people in the world."(http://hiphopwired.com/2011/10/28/delta-sigma-theta-tells-members-not-to-wear-colors-due-to-rapist/)

  
  So the word is that the MLB team the St. Louis Cardinals had a crazy game 6 for the World Series. During the game against the Texas Ranger the Cardinals were able to play a strong game and in an extra ending came back and got the W (win). Now there will be a game 7. This is exciting, so check out game 7 to see who pulls through for it all.

    "Hours after David Freese’s home run plunked down on the grass patch beyond the center field wall, long after the ballpark emptied, a message still burned bright on the scoreboard: “See you TOMORROW NIGHT for Game 7 of the World Series!”Whatever happens, whether the St. Louis Cardinals or Texas Rangers win, they’ll have a hard time topping Thursday night.

     “You had to be here to believe it,” St. Louis manager Tony La Russa said. In one of the greatest thrillers in baseball history, the Cardinals twice rallied when they were down to their last strike of the season. First, Freese saved them with a two-run triple in the ninth, then Lance Berkman delivered a tying single in the 10th.

    And when Freese led off the bottom of the 11th with his shot to beat Texas 10-9 and stomped on the plate, this Game 6 had already been stamped forever.“Turned out to be one for the ages,” said Daniel Descalso, who keyed a Cardinals comeback."(http://bossip.com/487151/congratulations-the-st-louis-cardinals-pull-off-an-amazing-extra-innings-comeback-against-the-texas-rangers-to-force-a-world-series-game-7-43081/)
