Nick Cannon And Mariah Carey Engaged?

The latest buzz is are Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey engaged? The two have been sighted holding hands. There are also photos of Mariah wearing a big ring Saturday night during a New York afterparty for her new film "Tennessee. Various media reports suggests that she may be engaged.

Nick Cannon stopped by MTV News offices to promote his new film "Ball Don't Lie, and they asked him about the rumor. Cannon danced around the questions.

Carey is supposedly dating executive Mark Sudack, a member of her management team. But on April 15, People.Com ran a story called "Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's Night Out in Vegas." The story claimed that they flew into Sin City on a private jet and were spotted at a nightclub, getting "cozy" at one of the VIP tables.

The final thing adding credibility to the rumor was the report by People.Com that claimed the two held hands for most of the afterparty and never left each other's side all evening.

The rumors are either real or they are both just trying to use the media to help promote their new film projects.

MC Serch Is Back

It was about 10pm and I was channel surfing. Nothing on as usual but I came across MC Serch and YoYo.

They were on a show called Ego Trip's Miss Rap Supreme. The show is about female rappers from all over. In the first episode Search and YoYo watch as each of the contestants auditions by spiting a few bars.

Some are good and some just did not need to show up. After listing to all the contestants, the shows hosts pick 10 who will live in a house and compete against each other.

What's notable about the show is that Khia who sang "My Neck, My Back" auditioned for the show and got on. Serch brings up the fact that she sold 800,000 records and asks her what did she learn. She replied, she learned that you have to keep on grinding.

The show has been on since April 14TH but there is still a lot of episodes left. It's on VH-1 at 10pm so check it out.

Wesly Snipes Gets 3 Years For Tax Evasion

It seems to me that a lot of African-Americans are heading to jail. Especially those who are famous. Remy Ma, T.I., and Foxy who recently got out.

The latest celebrity heading to jail is the star of the Blade movies Wesly snipes. He has been given a 3 year federal prison sentence and a 5 million dollar fine for not paying his taxes.

I hate to see anyone go to jail but the government has a thing about not giving them there cut.

Wesly is going to a federal prison which is usually like country club. Most residents play Tennis and the cells are unlocked.

But on the good side Snipes fans will be rushing to see the next Blade movie made after he is released.

The sentence in my opinion is unfair because it was only given to make an example out of him to others.

Detectives Found Not Guilty By Judge

The three detectives took a chance and put their fate in the hands of the judge. Supreme Court Justice Arthur Cooperman found theme not guilty of all charges.

Many people beleived that the guilty verdict would cause trouble for the city. But so far nothing has surfaced.

The reason for aquitting the Detectives was that the prosecution did not prove their case and it's witnesses were not credible. Judge Cooperman found that the Police response with respect to each defendant was not found to be criminal.

In English the detectives did make a mistake but the mistake did not come about out of a criminal act. The actions they took were based on the information that they had at the time. The judge believed that the Detectives believed that there was a gun present.

Mayor Bloomberg said it best there are no winners in a trial like this. An innocent man lost his life, a bride lost her groom, two daughters lost their father, and a mother and a father lost their son.

The Sean Bell story is a tradgedy for all involved.

Dave Chappelle Sued By Ex-Manager

The weathers breaking and where am I inside working on today's story. I thought to my self I have not heard anything about Dave Chappelle in a while. And then I came across a website called BlackNews.com where low and behold there was his picture dressed as Prince from his skit with Charley Murphy.

It appears that Dave's former manager is trying to get what he feels he is owed. In 2005 Dave's former manager Mustafa Abuelhijia settled a lawsuit with Chappelle after he was fired.

The settlement said that Abuelhijia was to receive 10% of the profits from 'Dave Chappelle's Block Party', 10% of the money that Chappelle got from seasons 2, 3, and 4 of the Chappelle Show' and 10% of the money he received for the comedy special
'For What It's Worth.

So far, Abuelhijia claims he has not received anything from Chappelle. In a new development the former manager has filed a new lawsuit in New York claiming that Chappelle has taken in close to 1.2 million since they signed the settlement and he feels he is entitled to 10% of it.

I think that the former manager is entitled to the 2005 settlement money but he has no claim to the recent money that Chappelle has made.

Mariah Carey's E=MC2 Equals $$$$$$

Mariah Carey is back with a brand new album called E=MC2. Kudos to her marketing department for using the most recognized formula created by Albert Einstein.

Mariah's new album has sold over 460,000 copies and is still going. As you know Mariah has had her ups and downs.

Her movie Glitter didn't due to well and she had a nervous break down but it appears that she is back on track making good music.

I did love her in State property and hope to see her in roles more befitting her.

Mariah,s E=MC2 is selling at the speed of light and I wish her all the success in the world.

This one is definitely a go getter.

Nas And The N Word

New York rapper Nas has been in the news lately because he created a song which uses the N word.

A large majority in the music industry support his decision to record such a song, however, their are many of the older generation who will find the song quite Offensive.

The song is basically the use of the N word set to the Dr. Pepper, Jingle. What Nas has attempted to do was lessen the sting of the N word. The song says the N word so much that it supposed to become powerless.

While I give him props on his attempt to lessen the power of the N word. I do not think that those who grew up with the N word when it had the power to humiliate and intimidate will agree.
