SOME DUDE IS SUING MIKE TYSON, SAYS HE STOLE THE NAME 'IRON MIKE' FROM HIM...

Former pro boxer Mike Landrum is suing Iron Mike Tyson for infringement. Yup, the man says Mike stole the name Iron Mike right from under him,which as a result kept him from booking major title fights and getting sponsorships, so he's suing Mike Tyson for $115 million. Mike Landrum turned pro in 1983, but didn't start boxing until 1985. Hmmm. And, why is he just now suing for this said infringement? Too many punches in the head are never a good thing. That.is.all.! [The YBF]

JUDGE OVERTURNS PROP 8 RULING IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, SAYS IT'S UNCONSTUTIONAL...

U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker overturned Prop 8 in CA today (ban on gay marriage), deeming it unconstitutional. She also ordered the state to stop enforcing the ban immediately. Following her ruling, she then stayed the decision until Friday (with anticipation of appeals), and may enforce a longer stay depending on the number of appeals. Sounds like progress. It's a step in the right direction, anyway. [L.A. Times]

WYCLEF FOR PRESIDENT? CITIZENSHIP STATUS MAY BE A CHALLENGE...(VIDEO)

Yup! Former Fugee and Haiti relief-rescue extraordinaire has decided it's time for him to run for president of his native home-base. "I'm being drafted by the youth," Jean said in an interview with Time on Tuesday.

Whether or not that's the case, its said to become an inter-family election battle if his run indeed happens. Word is, Clef's uncle, a former Hatian Ambassador, is up for the seat. But despite the seniority, the youth loves Clef. He was appointed Ambssadar-At-Large in 2007 largely due to his strong following and influence. And, he has people with political influence behind him too. One of his main backers even being hailed as "a Newt Gingrich" type.

BILL COSBY IS NOT DEAD, BUT HE'S PISSED THAT YOU KEEP SAYING SO...WE THINK...

Twitter was poppin' yesterday with the Trending Topic "Bill Cosby is Dead". Everyone was going wild with this news, but we're smarter than that. It wasn't on the news and we soon realized it was some sort of bad joke. Well, Bill agrees and wants it to stop. Apparently, this isn't the first time this has happened. He's even going on Larry King tonight. Not sure if he has a project, or if it's just to dispell the rumor, but one thing is for sure: Bill Cosby is hot again. Hmmm. Was it an inside job? We have to wonder. His Twitter page has over 1 million followers now and we doubt if his numbers were that high before the rumor of his death set off Twitter Trending topics yesterday. But even Bill's humor isn't that sick. Is it? Hmmm.. See his latest tweets below:
  1. In case you missed me last night, watch and listen to: http://bit.ly/BCndnl
  2. Watch me on Larry King LIVE tonight with @KingsThings at 9:30!
  3. Emotional friends have called about this misinformation. To the people behind the foolishness, I’m not sure you see how upsetting this is.
  4. Again, I'm rebuttaling rumors about my demise. But, I'm confirming I have an app - http://bit.ly/BillCosbyApp :)

MENSWEAR FOR THAT AZZ!

Nom De Guerre (translation: Name of War) has unveiled their Fall/Winter 2010 menswear collection. The military look has been going strong now for a few seasons, but this one kills it (no pun intended). (Or maybe it's the models that are doin' it for us?) Sure, the looks are kind of "war extreme" but who cares. The way the world is going, we will all need gear like this soon! [Nom De Guerre]


KHLOE AND LAMAR SHOCK THE WORLD...

Khloe and Lamar Odom attended Casio's Shock the World event last night in NYC, where they promoted Lamar's Casio G-Shock watch. Casio also unveiled their other new brands such as Baby-G, Edifice and Pathfinder.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS CHARLIE RANGEL AND MAXINE WATERS CHARGED (SEPARATELY) WITH ETHICS VIOLATIONS-- POLITICS AS USUAL...

 These 'ethics violation' stories, especially Rangel's, have been circulating for the past couple of weeks, so when Maxine Waters' charges became "official", we couldn't pass on commenting. Let's start with Charlie.

Charlie Rangel is an old-school Harlem, NY politician who is now being charged with 13 ethics violation charges by the House Ethics committee, following a 2-year investigation. These 13 ethics charges include tax evasion, misuse of , and exchanging favors for funds and failure to report income from various entities, among them.

LADY GAGA COVERS VANITY FAIR MAG, TALKS FEARS OF STOLEN CREATIVITY VIA HER VAGINA + DRUG USE... (PICS)

Lady Gaga is doin' it again... creating shock-media, that is. Here, she covers the September issue of Vanity Fair (hitting stands in L.A. & NY Aug. 4th & everywhere else on the 10th) completely nude. In the article's sneak peek, VF discloses some of her quotes. The stand-out being, "I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they’re going to take my creativity from me through my vagina.”(haahaha!) But, hey, who are we to laugh! She's a superstar-- she obviously knows something, right? She also discusses her past drug use and how her grandmother helped her deal. Interesting stuff, yea? *Kanye shrug* [Vanity Fair]

LUDACRIS AND R&B SINGER SAMMIE DO GOOD THINGS...

Ludacris and R&B singer, Sammie, hosted a back to school rally this past weekend in Atlanta where they gave away oodles of school supplies to kids in need.

 Yup, the longtime on and off couple, who share a classroom of kids, FINALLY got married on Friday at a Miami courthouse.

SCREENS SHOTS OF MONTANA FISHBURNE'S PORNO RELEASED (PICS)...

Ruh-Roh! TMZ has released some screen/promo shots of Montana "Chippy-D" Fishburne's soon to be released debut porno. For the clueless: Montana is award winning actor (Boys in the Hood, Deep Cover, The Matrix trilogy), Laurence Firshburne's daughter, and she's hell-bent on becoming famous-- even citing Kim Kardashian's fame as her inspiration. SMH! We covered the story a few posts down but as much as we've discussed and read about it, it still breaks our hearts. Wonder what Larry must be going through right now. Maybe he should have hooked her up with those contacts/auditions she probably begged him for? Anyway, Pop the Trunk for more pics, if you dare...

PHARRELL WILLIAMS AND A HARLEY DAVIDSON STAR IN, "I'M AMERICAN"...

Pharrell Spot For Harley-Davidson from Team Satten on Vimeo.


Actually, this is a short promo for Harley Davidson hosted by N.E.R.D.'s Pharrell Williams. We're fans so we thought we'd share. He did stress the similarities between him and the Harley Davidson brand are that they're both American, hence our post title. Personally, we'd love to ride shirtless on one of those bad boys-- in another lifetime. One where we have oodles of money, no shame, and no responsibilities, of course. From our fingertips to God's ears! (Haahahaheeheeheehoohoohoo!) [The Life Files]

LINDSAY LOHAN, OUT OF JAIL AND RIGHT INTO REHAB...

Lindsay Lohan was released from jail after 13 long days of serving hard time, ya'll. (NOT!) Word is, she was released from Lynwood Correctional at about 1:35AM. Though the paps were eagerly awaiting her exit for the money shot, they were sadly disappointed, as she discreetly got into a black SUV and then whisked directly to UCLA Medical Center for her mandatory rehab treatment. Womp womp. We look forward to seeing how jail and rehab affects Lindsay's life in the near future. Hopefully, she can get her acting career out of the dumpster and do what she does best-- act.

ALICIA KEYS AND SWIZZ BEATZ TIE THE KNOT...

Yup, after all the rumors of scandal and debauchery, and a well documented pregnancy, the two music industry domineers have finally gotten hitched. They were married on Saturday in a private home in Corsica,
Piantarella France, where a host of celebrities (such as U2's Bono and Queen Latifah) joined them in celebration. Dr. Deepak Chopra, the couple's friend, conducted the nuptuals. They're first child together is due in November.
 Of course, if you've followed the drama which ensued around their relationship, which began in 2008, you know that Swizz, who's real name is Kasseem Dean, 31, is recently divorced from ex-wife, singer Mashonda, with whom he has one child, 3 years. He has another child, 9, from previous relationship. If you believe the rumors, he also has a toddler with a woman in Europe who is making claims that Swizz is a dead-beat dad. Supposedly, the DNA test (which Alicia went with him to take) said "you are the father" but he has yet to take responsibility. But we don't know if all of that is actual truth. Just thought we'd throw it in for good measure. *wink* Anywhoo-- Congrats to the couple! May karma give them a pass :)
