Your boy Lyfe Jennings recently did an interview and he had some interesting views on why celebrities are settling for the video vixen, stripper, etc versus the regular girl with multiple degrees etc. Peep the letter I received and then his response below:

Hey Ms Necole, I just had a few questions for you… I wonder why celebrity men never date “Regular” girls? It’s like every time I turn on my television I see video vixen and rappers or celebrities with other celebrities. I mean why do men fall for women who has slept around? Or for women who has a name for themselves? I am a very well educated woman who has her stuff together. I pay my bills on time, I have two degrees and I am currently working on my third degree… I have my own house and two cars (which I may add is paid for). I carry myself like a woman is suppose to. I have to admit we have some very nice looking black men in the industry today, but they are not looking for a “Regular” woman. To be honest with you I am not sure what they are looking for, but I do know and feel it’s time for a change. Not all women is looking for a hand-out; I think that is one of the reason why they date other celebrities. I also, hear celebrities say,”I don’t date fans”. They do not date fans, but they will get with a “Groupie”. I’m lost. I just want to know why Celebrities will not give us average a chance? I would love to hear your feedback

Lyfe Jennings Response:

I think that man is just attracted to a woman who is free. She’s just living her life and in connection, she makes him feel free too. You have to understand that before coming into the industry, most cats were just regular dudes who never had a chance to get with someone that’s hot like that. And now they can get these chicks that’s just living her life and is live, she makes him live too.

[But you] should actually be flattered by that. Because you are going to attract who you are. This dude might have a great career but he might not be a great person so he is not going to be attracted to a great woman. The Amber Rose, Kat Stacks, etc.. All that is temporary. But that woman that is working hard every day to provide for herself and her family; mentally, spiritually, intellectually, emotionally… that’s forever! Because them tittays are gonna sag one day. Those tittays are going to be down by your belly button one day and you’re gonna need something else to keep your man.

On an episode of Lopez Tonight that aired yesterday (July 28), Hip Hop entrepreneur/rapper Diddy spoke on possibly replacing former judge Simon Cowell on the talent competition American Idol.

explained that he initially wasn’t interested in the position, but once he heard how much Simon Cowell made while serving as a judge on the show his thoughts changed somewhat.

“At first when people were asking me if I was interested in the job I was like no…that’s not my style,” Diddy explained. “But once I heard what Simon makes…[I] would love the job. I’ve got six kids. If I would get the same check Simon gets…we would have a ball.”

A number of celebrities have been considered for Cowell’s position including , Shania Twain, Justin Timberlake, and more.

Various reports have suggested that former American Idol Nigel Lythgoe may return to the show this season and if he does he may possibly replace all the judges.

Kanye West turned the Facebook headquarters into a spoken word session as he stood on a table and recited the lyrics to some of the songs off of his upcoming album “Good Ass Job” earlier today. Before performing “Mama’s Boyfriend”, he told the audience of geeks “Pardon me, it’s a lot of the use of the N Word…But I’m allowed to use it”.

This footage is a nice little teaser for what’s to come on the new album! So many classic lines in these clips…

Diddy is on the cover of Vibe Magazine’s upcoming Aug/Sept Juice Issue and brings Rick Ross and Janelle Monae along for the ride. This is a part of a double cover which also features Dr. Dre and Eminem. Inside, Diddy responds to Lil Kim accusing him of trying to make Nicki Minaj the next Kim:

When I heard her say what she said, it didn’t really affect me. I didn’t get mad at her or anything like that. I knew how she felt. I ain’t agree with it. But also I know the motivation. I know that people say, “Oh, he’s trying to get a new Lil’ Kim.” I guess people will see in time. Yeah, Nicki’s had flavored wigs on, but besides that it ain’t even the same approach to the writing.

A woman who claims to be Michael Jackson’s illegitimate love child — conceived when MJ was a minor — has filed legal documents claiming there was a diabolical plot to cover up her existence … involving murder, abduction and Diana Ross’ sister.

The alleged MJ spawn — Mocienne Petit Jackson — has filed documents with L.A. County Superior Court claiming she will surely be in line for a serious inheritance check … if a judge will give the go-ahead on a DNA test.

Here’s the story — MPJ claims back in 1975, 17-year-old Michael Jackson secretly impregnated her mother Barbara … who happens to be Diana Ross’ sister.

MPJ claims when she was 9 years old, Katherine Jackson hatched a plan to “abduct” MPJ and send her to Belgium to protect Michael’s “reputation.” She claims all 7 of her abductors were later murdered.

Now MPJ — who currently lives in the Netherlands — has decided to come forward with her story … so she can “formally claim my part of my father’s inheritance.” She also wants custody of MJ’s kids so she can give them a “more normal life.”

MPJ also claims she was diagnosed with Vitiligo … so, there’s that.

Calls to Diana Ross, Barbara Ross and MJ’s camp have not been returned. Via:Necolebitchie.com

R&B Singer Monica tweeted a photo of a fresh pair of high top sneakers the other day with the caption “I refuse to wear heels tonight”. This came as a surprise as Mo always has on a nice pair of 4-5 inch heels.

Peep game on what she was wearing below

Monica’s sneakers were Louis Vuitton’s Disco Sneaker Boot from their 2010 Winter Collection.  The high-top shoe gives streetwear “a luxurious twist with metallic leather straps and two-tone sequins”.  Damage = $805.00 Via:Necolebitchie.com

I hope Mario is okay! His fans have been hitting me up left and right over the weekend in regards to a show he did in New York. He performed at the annual Rochester Music Festival this past weekend and some how snapped when his set was cut short. Here are a few eyewitness accounts:

Mario was here in my city (Rochester ,NY) for our annual music fest this weekend. He did a great job, but his visit made the show very interesting. He was the show opener and he ended up coming late(for whatever reason) as a result of that when he finally arrived his set was cut short. They sound guy had messed up a lot of other acts (Jaheim) and when he messed up Mario’s. I guess he(mario) couldn’t take it anymore. He punched the sound guy straight in the face right at the beginning of the song “break up”. Security had to hold Mario back. I thought i was at the club watching a fight(classic). I don’t have video, but you may want to use you resources and look this one up because it is a good story to cover.

I was wondering could you find out if Mario is on drugs or not… He did a concert in my town this weekend and he attack the sound Man… I know he’s dating that chick Amber Rose home girl but could it be she is a bad influence on him… I’ve always thought Mario was a nice and humble young guy, but his behavior since he’s been dating this chick has been suspect… Okay so the low down he was due to perform before Dru Hill, but didn’t show up on time so he set the show back 30-45 mins… Then once he did come on stage after Jahiem imagine that he only had a little time, they cut the lights on I guess as a queue as it was time for him to get off of stage and he continued to perform… Just as he got ready to perform Break up, they cut him and he attack the sound guy!!! It was crazy this dude went nuts and I am worried about him…

I doubt that Mario is on drugs, sometimes people just snap. I tried to reach out to someone that was there for his side of the story but didn’t come up with much:

The sound dude cut his set early in the middle of break up. Mario was the first artist there he wasn’t late at all.. The sound dude just messed up. Mario didn’t punched the dude, he just pushed him because he felt disrespected. Via:Necolebitchie.com

He also posted to twitter:

While Chris Brown has always made it clear that he looks to Michael Jackson for inspiration, there are nearly as many parallels to be made between Brown and Usher. And last weekend, Breezy joined Usher on stage during the Reggae SumFest 2010 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The duo wowed audiences in the concluding night of the festival.

Brown had already performed his own set on Friday, tearing through songs like “Run It” and “Forever” and showing off his formidable dancing skills. But it was his surprise appearance during Usher’s set the following day that really set the crowd off. According to TheChrisBrownBlog.com, the two were also joined onstage by Elephant Man and later engaged in a dance-off.

Video footage from the performance had not surfaced online at press time, but photos reveal the two singing together and even showing some affection with an onstage hug.

Brown took to Twitter Saturday to thank Jamaica. “I wanna thank you Jamaica for your wonderful embrace last night at the show,” he wrote. “Next time well do passa passa … lmao … (oh hell naw). Love ya!”

Later on Saturday, he tweeted about performing with Usher. “Me and Usher killin Jamaica right now,” he wrote.

When Chris burst on the music scene five years ago, he was overcome with excitement when meeting Usher. “To see him face-to-face, I was like, ‘OK, Chris, it’s gonna be all right, just chill out right quick. You about to do the song, man, don’t be no punk,’ ” Brown told MTV News about recording a song that was later featured in Usher’s 2005 film “In the Mix.” Via:Thisis50.com
