WATCH: GAY TEEN COMMITS SUICIDE AFTER YEARS OF BULLYING, 4TH GAY TEEN SUICIDE DEATH THIS WEEK...(VIDEO)

This is ashame. Gay teens have been offing themselves left and right due to bullying. The teen in this video-- who hung himself from a tree (!!!) was only 13 years old. A Rutgers student, 18, jumped off of a bridge last week after a video of him having sex with another male was circulated on the internet. In cases such as these, The Bully and The Teasers always say they didn't mean for it to go that far, and are remorseful about their actions. What they don't seem to get while they are doing it, is that IT HURTS. STOP THE BULLYING! PARENTS, TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO DO BETTER! [Source]

WATCH: ED LOVER'S C'MON SON 17-- GOES IN ON PARIS HILTON, SOULJA BOY, BIG BABY DAVIS...

We're a little late on the newest addition to our Ed Lover, "C'Mon Son" library but it's classic comedy and we have to share. He has us a little worried about the homophobic remarks towards NBA players Big Baby Davis and Brandon Jennings. Do we need to tweet @MrEdLover about this? Hopefully, @ParisHilton watches. She needs a good look at herself with through a pair of sane eyes. One's attached to a sober mind. Geesh! The Brian Pumper jewelry bit is funny too. Gaahhh! Just watch the dang thang. [Source]

WATCH: JENNY MCCARTNEY TALKS TO OPRAH ABOUT HER BREAK UP WITH JIM CAREY AND THEN SOME...(VIDEO)

This was a great interview and we have a whole new respect for Jenny McCartney as a result. She was very open and candid about her relationship and break-up with Jim Carey. Oprah even chimed in about she and her partner Stedman Graham's status stating, "We have never once broken up. Not once."-- and we totally ate that up. Yummy.

MEET JUSTUS WILLIAMS, CROWNED YOUNGEST BLACK CHESS MASTER...

At a chess tournament on September 23rd, 12 year old Justus Williams set new record for the youngest Black Chess Master, dethroning 16 year old Kassa Korley-- they're both New Yorkers.  According to reports, Justus is currently the highest-rated chess player in the United States in his age and gender group and ranks fourth overall in the World Chess Federation international rankings for age group.

WATCH: VIOLENT PURSE SNATCH ATTEMPT, IN VENICE CA, CAUGHT ON TAPE... (VIDEO)

 
This video is very very scary. If you notice, the suspect spotted his victim walking on the street, while a passenger in a white van. The van pulls into the alley and the suspect then jumps out with the intent of snatching the woman's large purse. She hung on for dear life though, didn't she? He swung her around, beat on her, and yet she did not let go. Not the smartest move but it worked for her. Thankfully, he didn't take it further by hurting her more seriously, even stabbing or shooting her. Looks like any and everywhere we go, the pepper spray must be in-hand and ready for action.

CA DEATH ROW INMATE SCHEDULED TO RECEIVE LETHAL INJECTION SPARED DUE TO LACK OF STATE RESOURCES...

Thirty years after his death sentence for raping and murdering 15 year old Susan Jordan, Albert Greenwood Brown had his scheduled execution canceled. It was to take place on Wednesday and would have been the first death by lethal injection executed in California in 5 years. Nope, he wasn't given a last minute reprieve-- in fact, his clemency was denied by Governor Schwarzenegger. Actually, what had happened was, the state ran out of the legal injection serum, and the company that makes it says they won't have another batch available until early next year. They are the only company in the country which makes the injection serum. Womp. womp. Of course, the victim's family have expressed outrage. Governor Schwarzenegger also spoke his two-cents by saying, "He was convicted and sentenced to death by a jury of his peers, and now 30 years later the state is still unable to carry out his execution. It is absurd that our legal system continues to prevent the state from carrying out the will of the people." Hmph. Good to know that he cares. [Source]

THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR & SENATE RACES ARE TIGHT ACCORDING TO POLLS...

The Public Policy Institute just released a poll which states that these races are virtually tied. Californians, do your research and vote for whom you believe is best. We THINK we're voting for Brown and Boxer. We need more options! Thoughts? Speak now, or forever hold your peace. Lol! Read the rest of the article here.

CHECK OUT DIDDY'S SCOTLAND CONCERT SWAGGA...

Ha! Nice legs! Check out Diddy on stage ("diddy-bopping", if you will) at the MTV Crashes Glasgow event in Scotland. Um, in case you missed it, he's wearing a kilt and a pair of buckled boots. Um, weerrk? [Source]

MEET THE CAST OF VH1'S FOOTBALL WIVES...

They all look so upset, don't they? Major attitudes. The one sitting on the left with the brown boots looks, um, questionable. We need an adams-apple check for her. C'mon, you know what we're sayin'. Pop the Trunk for details, including names of the cast an their significant others:

YIKES! IS THAT REALLY YOU, NATALIE COLE?

Yep, that's her. She seems to have aged some since we last remember. Wow. Ms. Cole was spotted taking a stroll on NYC's upper west side yesterday. According to her website she works pretty steadily, with tour dates booked all over the country through Feb., 2011. The picture below is from Natalie Cole's official website, and is how we best remember her. Wow. For The Clueless: Natalie is daughter of legendary crooner Nat King Cole. She had a well documented drug problem some years ago. Hopefully, she's clean today. Maybe it's just now showing up in her looks. That happens, you know. Good incentive to stay drug free, yea?

KERRI HILSON & SOULJA BOY HIT THE STAGE FOR DR. DRE...

It was goin' down at the NYC Best Buy Theatre where stars came out to represent for the unveiling of Dr. Dre’s Beats By Dr. Dre & Monster’s new product line. More about Beats By Dre in the following post. Okay, Kerri-- we see you, Girl. [Source]

CHECK OUT THE "BEATS BY DR. DRE" COMMERCIAL STARRING DR. DRE, LEBRON JAMES & COMEDIAN AFFION CROCKET-- IT'S PRETTY FUNNY...

Dannggg, where'd Dr. Dre get those superhero arms from? OMG! We had heard rumors that he was taking that growth hormone...and he's not the only one. Have you seen Timbaland lately? Just sayin'. Anywhoo, this commercial is pretty funny. Love when Affion tells Dre he need to be in the studio makin' that album. And, when he tells LeBron he should never do another press conference. Hilarious. Thought we'd share. About Beats By Dre (for the Clueless):

“People aren’t hearing all the music. Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound. But people can’t really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can’t handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line, the music doesn’t move you. With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do.”

WATCH: PART 2 OF INTERVIEW WITH BISHOP EDDIE LONG ACCUSER, SAYS THEY HAD SEX IN THE CHURCH BEFORE AND AFTER SERVICE, TALKS CELL PHONE PICS...

We are still flabbergasted by the first part of the interview but the information he divulges here is hard to swallow. Constant sex... in the church... before and after service? Wowwww! The Bishop is protesting loudly against his accusers and says he's "not that man" and that he "will fight". Can't wait until this all unravels, so we can get to the truth. Ugh. Pop the Trunk for video and the transcript...

PRESIDENT OBAMA COVERS 'ROLLING STONE' MAG...(READ AN EXCERPT)

WATCH: FAITH EVANS ON GOOD DAY L.A., TALKS NEW ALBUM, BUSINESS & BIGGIE... (VIDEO)

We've always been a Faith Evans fan and we're excited about her new album, "There's Something About Faith". She's definitely had some (public) bumps in the road since B.I.G.'s death, but we're happy she still finds her way to the studio. Here, she interviews with Steve, Dorothy and Lucy. Steve had announced earlier that they were interviewing Faith HILL, which Jillian quickly corrected him on (Haahaha!). Love how she's all about hip hop. [Source]

COSMIC HOTEL BEING BUILT FOR SPACE TOURISTS...

A Russian company has announced today, Wednesday, that they are building a comfortable space hotel  for tourists who to date have shared cramped accommodations with astronauts. Ooh! Fun! Reportedly, they are at the design stage of the project. Very pioneer-esque move by Russia, don't you agree? Pop the Trunk for details...

MEG WHITMAN'S FORMER HOUSEKEEPER BLOWS THE WHISTLE, SAYS SHE WAS AN UNDOCUMENTED WORKER-- FOR 9 YEARS...

Meg Whitman should be embarrassed about this one. Nicky Diaz Santillan, an undocumented immigrant, is Meg Whitman's former housekeeper and nanny. She worked for Whitman for 9 years before recently being fired-- coincidentally (or not) 2 months after Whitman announced she was running for Governor of California. Nicky (very tearfully) states that during her employment she begged Whitman to help her get her immigration status in order, but Whitman refused and blew her off. It's a typical tale of hypocrisy in politics and we're not surprised at these allegations at all. On another note, Whitman debated her opponent Jerry Brown last night for the first time. We feel it went in his favor. It's really another matter of the lesser of two evils. Which is which? We think we know, but we're not 100%

BISHOP EDDIE LONG DANCES & SHOUTS WHEN ADDRESSING THE CONGREGATION-- AGAIN-- ABOUT LAWSUIT, SAYS "THIS IS A SPIRITUAL WARFARE!"...

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO

Bishop Eddie Long seems to be thriving off the the supportive energy from his devout congregations as he continues to address them regarding his public battle with four young men who have brought suit against him for sexual coercion. He dances and shouts this time around and says, "This is Spiritual Warfare!". It's a pretty passionate performance, which is why, we gather, he is as successful as he is. This IS what he does. We were surprised at what seems to be arrogance and an enlarged ego when watching his act speech to his sheep worshipers audience. Watch it for yourself and let us know whether or not you agree. For the record, he still has yet to flat out say he is innocent of the charges. Statements like, "I have made mistakes" and "I'm human" sound suspect. Yeah, his choices of words are verry interesting. We just want a "yes" or "no". [Source]

WATCH: MIKE TYSON & WAYNE BRADY SPOOF BOBBY BROWN'S "EVERY LITTLE STEP" VIDEO FOR FUNNY OR DIE-- WITH BOBBY'S HELP!

[Source]
How hilarious is that! OMG! Wayne Brady, Bobby Brown and, especially Mike Tyson are fools for this one! Please watch so we are not alone as we RFLMAO! It's a good thing Iron Mike had that knockout punch 'cause his footwork is a bit lacking. He looks like he's really trying though, even though it's obviously meant to be funny. Wayne Brady, on the other hand, is killin' it! And, what's up with Bobby Brown? He's looking a little rough around the edges. Or, is that just his permanent swagg now? *kanye shrug*

Here's the original Bobby Brown video for , "Every Little Step" for a comparison...or a ride down memory lane-- depending on how old (or young) you are. Us? Oh, we remember the original! It's a cold ride down memory lane.

WATCH: TERRY MCMILLAN TALKS "GETTING BACK TO HAPPY"... (VIDEO)

TERRY MCMILLAN TALKS "GETTING BACK TO HAPPY" WITH TIME MAGAZINE ONLINE:

Terry McMillan has been making the rounds with promoting her latest literary work, "Getting Back to Happy". It's the sequal to "Waiting to Exhale". She was on Oprah yesterday, where she faced off again with her (gay) ex-husband Jonathan Plummer. It definitely wasn't the eye-scratching discussion that too place on Oprah's couch 5 years ago, but it was interesting nonetheless. Check out it out here.

DID WE MENTION LINDSAY CHECKED BACK INTO REHAB?

Yeah, well, there's that. She's said to be at an undisclosed in-treatment rehab center in Southern Cali until her next court hearing on October 22nd. Jeezzzz! We're tired of this hepha! Will you be mad if we stop posting about her? We'll try it out and see what happens. Woooo-sahhhh! [Source]

Did you hear the newscaster say that those inappropriate cell phone pictures of Pastor Long will explained on tomorrow's broadcast? This is gonna get very interesting. [Source]

AIR MEN REVEAL PREVIOUSLY COVERED-UP UFO SIGHTINGS ON AIRBASE...

At a recent news conference in Washington, D.C., seven (7) former members of the U.S. Air Force testified to being witness to red glowing lights, which they have identified as UFO's. Based on the accounts of more than one hundred twenty (120) air men, it is believed that these other-worldly-visitors have been promoting and instigating world peace since at least the nineteen sixties. Many of the air men's accounts stated witnessing the deactivation of nuclear missiles. If true this means they want to preserve the Earth. For themselves?? Eeekk! If you're wondering why they are just now coming forward publicly with this information, they say that they were ordered to stay mum about any eye-witnessed UFO event. A fact sheet on the Air Force's website states that no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated has ever been a threat to national security. Well, that takes the fear away! Wow, how many of those reports/investigations/ evaluations have you had so far? So, glad you're not concerned! Uh, we suggest you start looking to the night skies for airborne abnormalities. Let us know what you find! We're makin' a list! [Source]

EVAN ROSS (*GIGGLE* SON OF DIANA!) WAS ON GOOD DAY L.A. WITH STEVE, DOROTHY & JILLIAN...(VIDEO)

This clip of actor, singer and Son of Diana, Evan Ross on GDLA gave us a whole knew perspective on him. At first glance, he's very vanilla, but not so much. No, not Diana's son! He's actually very suave and can be seductive under the right circumstance. Dorothy and Jillian were clearly enraptured. Hell, so was Steve. If you want to see him in action-- aside from this interview-- he now stars on the CW's "Gossip Girl" . Hmmm. We'll have to revisit. They lost us last season with Georgina's return. Funfact: Evan played T.I.'s li'l bro in "ATL". That should've told us he had a li'l flavor right there. Anywhoo, more pics of Evan with his mom, Diana Ross, sisters Tracee Ellis Ross (of the TV show, "Girlfriends") and Chudney-- oh, and brother, Ron.

From Left: Evan Ross and date, Diana Ross, (lower) Tracee Ellis Ross, Ross Arne Ross, Chudney Ross-- at Evan's 21st birthday party in Hollywood (Aug, 26. 2009). Haha @ Chudney posin' with the MJ glitter-glove. We thinks Evan may have idolized MJ to the point of imitating his look when he was young. Surely, they all miss him. Sidebar: Notice the each have the last name Ross? 'Cause Diana's gangsta like that.

NEW ARTIST-- WISH -- DEBUTS VIDEO FOR HER NEW SONG, "SUGA DADDY" + BONUS THROWBACK MOTOWN PERFORMANCE...(VIDEO)

Kind of feelin' this joint... especially with that classic hit "Heatwave" by Martha & the Vandellas in the background. We are also feelin' the lyrics, which are that of a woman in full support of her man (hmmm, just like on "Heatwave"). Ms. Wish comes out of Baltimore and is definitely a much needed breath of fresh air in the music scene. What do you think?

Just for fun, here's Martha & the Vandellas performing their Motown hit, "Heatwave" in 1965. Before we were born, for the record! :)

DRAKE & BODYGUARD SEND FAN TO THE HOSPITAL, BATTERY INVESTIGATION ENSUING...

Two former Drake fans sent to see him perform at a Jacksonville, FL concert last week and as a result one of them ended up in the hospital. He says that Drake's bodyguard punched him in the mouth because he spewed a bunch of curse words at Drake after he allegedly pushed his friend. She says she was only congratulating Drake on his success when he pushed her out of the way. Her friend starting cussing him out, then the bodyguard took it to a whole other level with a punch in dude's mouth. Ouch!

To add insult to injury, Drake allegedly flicked the girl off and told her "F---k you. You're nothing". Really? *scratches head* Now he's looking to sue to have his medical bills paid. He had to get six stitches, after all. That ish ain't cheap! [Source]

BORIS KODJOE & WIFE NICOLE (ARI PARKER) MAKING HALLOWEEN SEXY...

One of our favorite Hollywood couples, Boris and Nicole (who officially changed her last name to Kodjoe in January), were spotted shopping for Halloween home decor and then again at their Santa Monica home decorating for their kiddies, Sophie and Nicolas. For those of you scratching your heads, Boris and Nicole starred together in "Brown Sugar", and separately in a number of TV and movie projects. His first on screen appearance was on "The Steve Harvey Show" as Dexter in 1998. Hers was a TV movie in 1993 called "Other Women's Children". Currently, he stars in the TV spy show, "Undercovers", which debuted to lukewarm reviews. They may have some so-so projects in their repertoire but they are a beautiful couple, yea? Check, please! #muchneededpr [Source]

COMEDIAN/TALK SHOW HOST GEORGE LOPEZ & WIFE DIVORCING AFTER 17 YEARS & A KIDNEY...

Yep, George Lopez and longtime wife, Ann, are divorcing after 17 years. The split is said to be amicable, however, one would question if Ann is at all bitter about giving George a kidney when both of his failed in 2005. Surely, money won't be an issue with the divorce settlement. How long before we see George in the tabs partying it up with a young starlet? She'll want it back then, bet. [Source]
