MS SPOTLIGHT: THE ALMOST M&G WEEK
We wrap up the Almost M&G Week, with Diddy.
Enjoy!!
What are your other MS aliases, in any?
PDiddy, Diddy, Patrick, TPFNAD (The Poster Formerly Known As Diddy), Asian Wannabe Rapper 'lil Wang', many more…currently ‘Oran Juice Jones’. An homage to the singer that put down some of the funniest words to wax ever recorded.
'silly rabbit, trix is made for kidz….didn't you know that??? You without me is like cornflakes without the milk!' – Da Juice
Where did you grow up and where are you living now?
Grew up in Indy and live there now! I spent 3 fun bachelor years in Atlanta after college. It was a great experience. *sheds tear*
Besides chatting up on MS all day, what type work do you do?
Information Systems Manager for the Indianapolis Airport Authority…..that's a long title to say that I sit on my butt all day and tell other people what to do….and from time to time attend meetings when not on MS.
Word on the street is you're T-baby's manager. When is she dropping a new album? I heard she was in the studio with Rick Ross working on a remix.
I’ve been trying to milk T-baby’s 15 minutes of fame for as long as possible. Look for some endorsements (T-baby electronic thermometer that plays ‘it’s so coooold in the D’ whenever the temperature drops below 32 degrees) and a guest judge appearance on American Idol (T-baby will help idol wannabees with their stage presence and hood cred when they perform hits from ghetto fabulous AI winner Fantasia).
Do you have any hobbies?
Is weightlifting a hobby? Iowno, but I try to stay fit to counteract the symptoms of old age. I like playing poker too….both kinds (hee hee). For real doe, I enjoy Texas Hold 'em, and my goal is to play in a World Series of Poker event this summer.
Would you wear your argyle socks and silver sequined speedos (w/the MS logo on the butt) if you made it to the featured table?
LOL….Sure, I mean I’d wear anything to shed more light on MS! I’d even wear a MS t-shirt with a screen print image of a button straining to hold a tiiiight coat together….with a caption that read: ‘Never Give Up!’
Are you single or married? Any children (including pets)?
Married *pauses* happily. Yeah, I had to think, but I'm really content. So far, things have gone according to plan, and with a lil' pdiddy on the way, I couldn't be happier.
Did you dream last night? If yes, what was it about?
Nope. I don't usually dream unless I leave the tv on, and then my dreams seem to follow whatever was on at that moment. *mental note….leave tv on playboy channel tonight*
What do you fear?
Losing my wife. Yes, I'm a big sap! Seriously, she made a conscious choice to be with me, so losing her would be a reflection on me. And, if you haven't noticed….I think highly of myself. *pops collar*
Where do you want to be in 6 years?
On the side lines watching my boy play sports. I will probably try my hand at something entrepreneurial (after the recession), just to give myself time to be with him.
A business? What type? May I suggest selling dook cozies at Peter's(my male strip club). After the recession, the adult entertainment business will be booming!!
I know dook cozies are all the rage on MS. I just don’t know what the market for them is outside of the annual Rhundu calendar spread. I imagine I would charge more for a used one…..what?!
Where were you last night and what were you doing?
Usually Wednesday nights are my poker nights, and I woulda been out the house. I'm still recovering from surgery now, so I was at the crib talking to my wife about the economy. Then I had to get into this contraption that moves my knee up and down and helps the healing process. I think I fell asleep watching a nature show and dreamt I was swallowed by a whale…..I woke up at 3 panicking 'cause I was wrapped up in the sheets…..lol. *that's not true….but no one will notice it conflicts with my earlier answer*
One word to describe yourself.
Charming
When is the last time you cried?
A little over a year ago.
Why? You don't have to answer unless you want to.
Ok….it wasn't crying, but my eyes watered up. I was at my wits end dealing with my brother who was basically homeless, and didn't have any direction in his life. My frustrations with his situation and trying to come up with a solution seemed hopeless 'cause of his life choices. The whole conversation was tense and emotional (that's a girl term), but I eventually convinced him to move in with me. I started to tear up during that ordeal……maybe it was 'cause I had to tell my newlywed wife, 'guess who's coming for dinner and staying til January of '09'.
If you could eat one last meal, what would it be?
Crab cake appetizer, Caeser Salad *hold the anchovies*, Bottle of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, NY Strip Medium Rare, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Corn, Collard Greens (it's my last meal!), and Key Lime Pie!
If you were stranded on a deserted Island, which book and music CD would you like to have?
This is tough….I'd probably take the bible so I could keep some semblance of faith, and a music cd???...um, 2 Live Crew's 1989 'As Nasty As They Wanna Be' album………'Me So Horny' would be my theme song and on constant rotation!
Is there anything about you that might surprise people?
I am very reserved and respectful in person. LOL. Now, crazy thoughts always run through my head, but I really only act on them when I'm with my wife or closest friends. In college I was considered standoffish/conceited…wifey was quite surprised by my 'pdiddy' persona when I finally opened up. She's been trying to put me back ever since!
And finally, Lipton's 10 Questions:
What is your favorite word?
I don't have a favorite or least favorite word. I love vocabulary. All words were created equal!
What is your least favorite word?
See above…
What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Curiosity, Knowledge, Self assuredness, and the Freedom that comes with $$$
What turns you off creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
The Rigidity of Rules, Narrow/Short sighted individuals
What sound or noise do you love?
The sound of a woman reaching an 'O'.
What sound or noise do you hate?
the garbage truck when i haven't set the trash on the curb.
What is your favorite curse word?
I rarely curse or lose my temper. I like my cussing episodes to be shocking and memorable for lack of frequency and the intensity in which I drop the F bomb. I never use 'bitch' cause I don't argue with women.
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Retail concessions. I think I will start a fruit/nut stand (remember Pat's Snack Shack) at my old college. It's a recession proof environment where kids with bad habits love to eat.
What profession would you not like to do?
Spellman Career Guidance Counselor….just wouldn't be good for the marriage.
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Let me take you to your mom. She's been waiting to see you for a long time.
The Geighness Was Spotted A Long Time Ago
I don't like giving reading assignments, but I need some clarification here. I know I have a malfuntioning gaydar, but is the person who wrote this a plain ole hoe or is he hiding in the closet behind his wife's mumus?
My wife's weight gain ended our marriage (grammar, spelling and punctuation errors belong to the idiot who wrote it)
Man is not monogamous by nature. Some men discover this simple truth early on in life. Others spend the rest of their pathetic lives struggling between ideas of love and trust, and their innate and instinctual desire for sexual variety. The human being is animal, only one of many animals fortunate enough to inhabit this ideal environment. I say ideal in the sense that planet earth appears to exhibit all the necessary requirements in order to sustain the existence of human life. Not unlike the other animals on this planet, most post-pubescent men and women possess the intrinsic desire for procreation.
[BLAH BLAH BLAH] This desire is genetically encoded within the human being, and essential for our survival as a species. And though it is far more practical in current times to maintain only one life partner, our desire for multiple partners cannot simply be eliminated by contemporary socialization. Thus, it becomes blatantly apparent that though it is in our best interest not to manage more than one long-term relationship, ridding our lives completely of sexual variety is neither healthy nor even natural. [BLAH BLAH BLAH]
I first realized the impossibility of my being monogamous at the age of 27. This moment oddly enough coincided with the approximate time my wife began putting on weight. When we had first started dating, she had been young, fit, athletic, and very healthy. Her body was well portioned, her stomach was flat, and her breasts were ripe and perky. She alone could satisfy me, and she did for many years. Now most woman blame gaining weight on pregnancy. My wife, however, was not pregnant. She began gaining weight for two main reasons: her metabolism was slowing down (I suspect) and she was becoming lazy. And though the first few pounds didn't seem to bother me too much, especially since her breasts were the lucky recipients of some of this weight, it eventually became too much. By the age of 27, while we were both still in the sexual prime of our young married life, I was no longer attracted to my wife. What frustrated me even more than not being attracted to my wife, however, was the simple fact that I still loved her and didn't want to lose her.
[BLAH BLAH BLAH] Though I had no problem whatsoever achieving and maintaining an erection while viewing pornography, or even fantasizing about earlier times, achieving and maintaining an erection with my wife became
more and more difficult. Oblivious to the apparent reasons, my wife became as frustrated as I was, and began suggesting drugs for erective dysfunction. Unable to confront her on the true reasons for my lack of enthusiasm, I followed her instructions and sought out my doctor for advice. Surprisingly, my doctor was reluctant to prescribe any drugs, and suggested therapy or counseling.
[BLAH BLAH BLAH]
When I gave the news to my wife, she thought it would be a great idea that I attend to my obvious psychological issues as a supplement to the pharmaceutical regiment she expected me to embark upon. Never once did she even seem to consider the possibility that the problem could in some way be related to the fact that she had added about 40 unnecessary pounds onto a previously perfect body, had cut her hair ridiculously short, and fumbled around at home in frilly, flowery pajamas. What made her even less attractive, however, was the fact that she became angry and hostile whenever I even tried to broach the topic of her hair, weight or pajamas. She was a modern woman, and could do whatever she wanted. Well then, I guess I could too.
Rather than perusing the streets at night, or hitting on women at my work, I decided to explore my sexual options online. And since I was worried about being caught on a dating or intimate encounters website, I took full advantage of all the new features and capabilities that social networking sites now included. Searching or browsing profiles, I began to message attractive locals in my area. Some I would instant message with, while others I would join in a not too busy chat room. Before I knew it, I had dates for nearly every weekend of the month. Did I feel guilty about this? No more guilty than my wife felt in constantly depriving me of my innate yearning for a thin, athletic woman. No more guilty than my wife felt about constantly depriving me of sexual gratification and fulfillment.
The one thing most women will never understand is that men can separate sex from love. However, the more and more I cheated on my wife, the more frustrated I become with the whole situation. I am now quite certain my wife and I won't last more than a year or two. Nevertheless, I am grateful for the lesson she has taught me. I desire sexual variety, and I enjoy it tremendously. When my wife and I eventually break apart, which now seems inevitable, it is unlikely I will ever find total satisfaction again with just one woman. I am a changed man. Variety, after all, is the spice of life. source Read More......

This has to be THE HOTTEST song out right now! I know when this joint comes on in the club there are bound to be plenty of people getting their groove on and libations flowing!

Or even worse woke up next to someone you barely knew?

Times Is Hard...Real Hard
Police: Two Teens Ran
Prostitution Ring
Phoenix Police Break Up Child
Prostitution Ring
Phoenix, AZ - Phoenix police have arrested two 16-year-old girls for multiple counts of child prostitution, pandering and for receiving the earnings of a prostitute.
16-Year-Old Jazmine Finley and 16-year-old Tatiana Tyre were detained at a Juvenile Corrections Center, but then booked into the Maricopa County Jail.
Police say the pair, "in an alarmingly different tactic" recruited at least five girls, aged 14 to 17, some of whom are from area high schools.
Unlike pimps who would normally work shopping malls to lure children into prostitution, these girls allegedly used their friends and contacts at schools, although no prostitution crimes were committed on school grounds.
Police say the two suspects were involved in prostitution themselves, and were responsible for recruiting, teaching and receiving money from other girls who worked for them. At one point, they even rented their own apartment in central Phoenix for the purpose of conduction a prostitution operation.
Phoenix police say they began their operation after officers in the Maryvale Precinct gave detectives information on a child prostitution ring working the area of 27th Avenue and Van Buren Street

For Meik
I'm sure Meik already knows but apparently Dru Hill got a reality show on PeachTree TV *whatever that is* called Platinum House.
Dru Hill’s comeback story takes place in a mansion a la Real World house- in Atlanta, Georgia, and for the next month they must essentially re-learn how to work together again as a group-counteract and solve all the problems that prevented any previous chances of an album. The remaining faces of Dru Hill– SISQO (Mark Althavean Andrews), Nokio (Tamir Ruffin), Jazz (Larry Anthony) and new face Tao (Antwuan Simpson) with manger Kevin Peck-go through an intensive work regimen with the help of a licensed therapist, team-building coach, trainer and vocal coach all determined to equip them with tools to make the road to their comeback a little smoother.
Ummm yeeeaaaah. It's supposed to be airing on Bravo too. And I would choose my comments wisely about Sisqo if I were some of you. Wouldn't want anyone to get banned. Um, yeah...'cause I will gladly block your asses--Meik
BTW....Nokio GEIGH!
That is all.
Can you view this from where you are?
Hopefully you can. Just trying to prepare for when Haloscan gets called home.
(Read and scroll pics with caution (SFW))
Ladies ask yourself if your man would be considerate enough to make any of these for you.

Woman OK after bullet ends up in her hair weave
KANSAS CITY, MO - Briana Bonds literally came within a hair's breadth of dying late Wednesday night after her tightly-woven wig somehow stopped a speeding bullet.
Bonds, 20, was in her car in a convenience store parking lot when a man flagged her down and told her that her ex-boyfriend still loved her.
She replied, "Well I don't love him," then Banks says she heard gunshots as her ex-boyfriend, Juan Kemp, allegedly opened fire from behind the second vehicle.
"They was going past me, zoom, zoom and the window was shattering," said Bonds. "Oh Lord! I am alive! Am I dead? What's going on? I'm not every 21 yet!"
Bonds said that her head snapped forward a little when the bullet hit her, and that there was a small amount of blood, but that she never lost consciousness.
"In the back of my head, it was like bam!" said Bonds. "That's how it felt. It was hot, you could feel it."
Bonds sped away from the store to another parking lot where she called police, who found the 40-caliber slug tangled in her hair. Police say that her weave prevented it from penetrating her skull.
"One of (the bullets) hit the back of my head. Luckily, it didn't go through because the back of my wig," said Bonds. "My wig had stopped it. It was hanging in my hair. It was about this small scrunched up."
"I've been wearing it for years. I've invested a lot of money into this weave," said Bonds. "It saved my life. It saved my life."
Police arrested both Kemp and the other man in the car, and the pair now face charges for the shooting incident in Jackson County Court. [Watch Video Here]

Breaking The Commandment All Willy Nilly
While you read this post and weep for the future, I want to you think about all the things you've "borrowed" from establishments over the years...and post them in the commments. Don't fret. We're all family. Best heist wins!
(My list is pretty sorry. I'm what you would call...a scaryass--in the presence of my angelic nature.
Usually, the stuff that gets lifted happens spontaneously at checkout counters...they overlook an item, I overlook it too.)
There were always people I knew who had me scared for my future whenever we went out somewhere. If one of their asses got caught, they wouldn't say ish and I'd be in lockdown cryning to my mama while she calls me all kinds of dumb bastards and refuse to come and get me out.
The Fashion Thief
This 17-year-old is so obsessed with high fashion, he's willing to go to jail - repeatedly - for his shoplifting habit.
Kevahn Thorpe, described in a profile in New York magazine as "a slight 17-year-old standing no more than five foot seven" who lives with a single mother in a housing project, has only been shoplifting designer duds for a year, but in that time has managed to do serious damage. An honors student with an aptitude for Calculus, the teen quickly developed a taste for good clothes and stealing high-end merchandise became an addictive challenge.
[...]
The more wardrobe he accumulated, the easier it became to blend into high-end stores, and despite a series of arrests (and the fact that under New York law he's charged as an adult), jail time and a stint in a group home, he found his reputation as a style maven and his newfound status too heady to give up. He's been arrested literally dozens of times and stolen thousands and thousands of dollars' worth of clothing. Despite countless chances from sympathetic judges, his compulsive thieving finally lands him in jail for good.
[...]
What's so strange about this story - well, besides the teen's compulsion - is that for once it is not a story of the system failing someone, so much as society's influence resoundingly beating the system out. Quite simply, fashion, and what it connotes, have become more important to this boy than his freedom. Even though everyone knows his clothing is stolen, it no longer matters - so it's gone beyond projecting an image to giving the garments themselves an odd Talismanic power. In some ways it seems like the sympathetic judges with whom he deals want to go easy on him because the fetish seems to them so frivolous. And because, as the guard says, it seems like here's a young man who could easily turn his talents and passion to a career with far less effort than it takes to survive a long stint up the river. Reading it, you want him so badly to get himself together, maybe get an internship with a fashion P.R. house. But it's obvious that he's in the grip of something so much bigger than himself, where the only concrete thing is - well, things. And who can wonder at someone wanting to forcibly grasp stability?

MS: The College Years
We’ve all been there. Freshly graduated from high school and getting ready to enter that institution of Higher Learning in the sky. That’s right, The Freshman Year. Otherwise known as the best year in college, well at least for me it was. My freshman year was THE BEST. Not just because I was away from the parentals and felt like an actual adult for the first time in my life. But we had soooo much fun. A little bit too much fun for some people.
So the summer before I left I had to fill out my dormitory forms. I attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA as an art student. There were only two freshman dorms and I was told they usually roomed you with people with similar majors which was cool. So I picked Rhodes Hall with one roommate. But when I get my housing assignment I got Johnson Hall with TWO roommates, yes a triple room*wtf*! So I get there at the end of August, when it still hot, to find out that the dorm had no AC AND it was co-ed. Even number floors were for the girls and odd number floors for the boys.
Let’s move on to the roommates. Roommate number one seemed like a sweet girl. Until she had her bf sleep over the FIRST night we got there and had sex with him in her bed while my other roommate and I were in the room *side-eyes Diddy*. Oh we had a tude with her for a long time. She ended up pregnant by the end of the spring semester. Go figure!
Roommate number two was cool at first as well. Until I found out she was a walking STD attracting ho! Her bf comes down one weekend and gives her chlamydia. Then she sleeps with some other guy who gives it to her again. Then about two weeks before the end of spring semester she tells me that she keeps finding ticks on her leg. This beesh had crabs! So I kindly pack up my shiz and move into my friend’s room. Oh but it gets better, the day after I left for the summer some dude she’s “dating” robs her in our dorm room. Shesus.
Then of course there were the certain floors that were deemed the “crabs floor” where you didn’t wash any of your clothes. The pregnant stripper hat lived down the hall that stripped at the Red Light Inn around the corner*I’m not kidding lol*. The homeless people that tried to sell us the “Hard Times” newspaper then got mad when you didn’t buy it. The pizza delivery men that had to nerve to catch an attitude when you didn’t give them a tip. Going to McDonalds and praying you still had money left on your meal card. The late night fire drills that some fool thought it was hilarious to keep pulling the fire alarm every night during spring semester making me miss my 8am art history class. They pulled it so much that we stopped going outside for the drills and the fire department said they would stop showing up if it kept being pulled. Experiencing my first frat party and step show. Getting woke up late at night by some drunk yt dude trying to get into our room because he was too drunk to realize that he was on the wrong floor. Going to my first ever Black College Weekend at Kings Dominion *whew them Kappas*. The twenty-something cutie that tried to holla at me, making me think I was grown, but I passed on him for this fool in my dorm that I was so in love with that didn’t love me. *sigh* Good Times.
So what was your freshman year like?

Confessions of a Hotel Housekeeper
Allison Rupp worked at Yellowstone National Park's historic Old Faithful Inn in 2004.
The best guests sleep in
Three simple letters could inspire the "Hallelujah" chorus: DND, or do not disturb. One sign hanging on a doorknob, and the day's work was shortened by half an hour. Two signs? Pure heaven, but only if they remained there until my eight-hour shift ended—otherwise I'd have to circle back and clean the rooms. My daily list of 15 rooms (out of 325 in the hotel) consisted of DOs (due out) and Os (occupied), which in housekeeping lingo meant the guests were scheduled to check out or were staying another night. An occupied room was less labor-intensive (making the beds rather than changing the sheets saved me 20 minutes), but there was always the possibility the guest would stay in the room while you worked. One man watched me clean his entire room, from scrubbing the toilet to emptying the trash—and told me at the end that I was "building character." Condescension is not nearly as encouraging to a maid as a couple of dollars.
As long as it looked clean
I cut corners everywhere I could. Instead of vacuuming, I found that just picking up the larger crumbs from the carpet would do. Rather than scrub the tub with hot water, sometimes it was just a spray-and-wipe kind of day. After several weeks on the job, I discovered that the staff leader who inspected the rooms couldn't tell the difference between a clean sink and one that was simply dry, so I would often just run a rag over the wet spots. But I never skipped changing the sheets. I wouldn't sink that low, no matter how lazy I was feeling.
A bacterial wonderland
I was disgusted by the many guests I came in contact with through the things they left behind: the hairs on the pillow, the urine on the toilet seat, the half-eaten cookie, the stained sheets. One woman had soiled her sheets so thoroughly that we had to toss them in a biohazard bag—they could never be used again. Rooms where young kids stayed were the worst, with food ground into the carpet and piles of used diapers in the trash. That kind of demoralizing mess could take 45 minutes to clean up. Most maids wore rubber gloves when they worked, but mine were too big, so I discarded them. Unsurprisingly, I got the flu twice.
Not for love — or money
I didn't know maids received tips, so it took me weeks to realize that the coins left in rooms were an intentional gift. My tips were paltry: I almost never received more than $1, and at times guests left religious pamphlets. One day, however, I was shocked to find a crisp $100 bill lying on a table. Although the generous tip put a little spring in my step and compelled me to do a better job that day, it didn't change my work ethic for long. I apologize to you now if you ever stayed in one of my rooms. You deserved better. But if housekeepers were paid more than minimum wage—and the tips were a bit better—I might have cleaned your toilet rather than just flushed it.

Jackson Brother Plans To Open Slavery Museum
Michael Jackson's brother has come under fire for plans to invest in a £2.4 billion plan to build a luxury resort and slavery theme park in Badagry, Nigeria, a historic port town that was the last departure point for thousands of slaves leaving Africa at the height of the transatlantic trade in humans. [Read story here...]
We know a Jackson cannot be helped, but I'm gonna need for Nigeria to first lose it's email access and then do better.
Speaking of Michael and nem, Ebony and Ebony, Jr. magazines have posted their complete archives online. If you love black people and all things before you were born (like myself), give it a go.

At the Movies: Friday the 13th
Today’s Episode of at the Movies features Friday the 13th. This is a Michael Bay remake of the popular 80’s franchise. It starts off with Mrs. Voorhees chasing down the last Camp Crystal Lake counselor, but the counselor lobs Mrs. V’s head off with a machete as little deformed Jason looks on from the trees. Anyway, fast forward to present day and a group of young adults (3 guys & 2 girls) are trying to find a field of weed near the abandoned Camp Crystal Lake. Jason offs all of them, except Whitney, who “strangely” resembles Mrs. V.
Six weeks later, Clay comes to town looking for his sister Whitney and he runs into a group of college kids (the asshole, his girl, two skanks, the geeky Asian, and the token black guy) coming to hang out at a-hole’s cabin on the lake. Jason picks them off one by one, until Whitney & Clay “kill” him and dump him in the lake……where he jumps back up out of the water and grabs Whitney. End Credits.
Being a die hard F13 fan (when we were kids, we used to walk to my aunt’s house (she had cable) @ 11pm to watch the latest F13), this movie sucked!! It didn’t suck as bad as Jason Goes to Manhattan or Jason in Space. I mean Jason wasn’t even the same. This dude was running. RUNNING!!! In F13 1 thru 50-11, Jason NEVER ran. Never!! And on top of that, this cat has a bat cave! Well, it’s an old mine, but still. He never had that in the previous films. Then on top of that, he kept someone alive! Jason?? Keeping folks alive?? LOL!! But the high point is the black cat wasn’t the 1st to die. But he was that lame-o-he got high & horny & was going to get-off to a J. Crew catalog. But he did get the worst death. He was running and Jason threw an axe and got him in the back. Then Jason let the guy Scream for help, in hopes that someone would come out and help him, but no one did (Bastids). So Jason flips this guy over and stomps on him so the axe goes through his body. So save your $$$ until JR gets her "Digital Copy" business up and running.

Years ago, My sister worked in a home for battered women. These women saw a lot of pain, but managed to still work through their situation. They found inspiration in a song.

Free Post
Everytime Terrence Howard makes me mad by saying something stupid (which is a hell of a lot), I just like to bring up this picture (NSFW--but necessary to look at to understand why he is so batshit crazy) and walk away.
I post this picture (again, NSFW--Terrence Howard does not care for Santonio Holmes is all I'm saying...) now becuase he's going off at the mouth again.
Considering that Chris Brown has been arrested for assault allegedly on his pop-star girlfriend Rihanna, you would think that America would be united in it's horror over the situation.
Well, make that America minus actor Terrence Howard.
Shockingly, Howard stood by his man when interviewed by Hollywood.tv heading into celeb central Mr. Chow.
"It's just life man," Howard said of the situation. "Chris is a great guy. He'll be all right. Rihanna knows he loves her. They'll be alright. Everyone has just got to get out of their way." [sauce]
Then he tried to take it back...
Terrence Howard wants to take back what he said about Chris Brown and Rihanna.
When asked by paparazzi last night if he had any comment on the Chris Brown incident with Rihanna, the actor said, "It's just life, man. Chris is a great guy. He'll be all right. And Rihanna knows he loves her. She'll be all right. Just everybody's got to get out of their way."
But now, Howard is insisting he didn't know about the allegations made against Brown when he made his remarks.
"When they asked me about Chris Brown the other day, I was in no way aware of what he had been accused of," Howard said in a statement. "Had I known, I would have never had said something so insensitive."
Howard is the second high-profile celeb in as many days to retract remarks they made about Brown and Rihanna.
Rapper T.I. issued a statement yesterday regretting comments he made the night before on Last Call With Carson Daly. T.I. said he "made a mistake of commenting before understanding the situation."
T.I. told Daly that he had spoken to Brown since the alleged incident occurred early Sunday morning. "I told him, 'This too shall pass.' We're celebrities, we're entertainers, but we're still human—all of us," he said. "Don't expect us not to make mistakes because we will." [sauce #2]

3 accused in jealousy-fueled deportation scheme
BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- Three women are accused of orchestrating a jealousy-fueled deportation scheme targeting a woman believed to be the mistress of one of their boyfriends.Read More......
"In my 35 years, I've never seen anything like this," said Lt. Steve Femley of Bellingham police.
Investigators said the three women - Melissa Espinoza, Briana Tatom and Mariana Kittila - targeted a 28-year-old woman who had recently moved to Washington sate from Mexico to be with her husband.
When the woman walked out of a local store, police said the three women forced her into a car, accusing her of having an affair with one woman's boyfriend. The women then drove Jimenez to border patrol agents in an attempt to get her deported.
Femley said prior to the incident, the women called 911 to report an alleged fight at local restaurant. The women named their adversary as the trouble maker, hoping she'd be arrested as an illegal immigrant.
When that didn't work, the women called the Washington State Patrol to report the woman was driving drunk, Femley said. The report prompted troopers to pull over the targeted woman, but she was not drunk.
"I don't think they realized the waste of resources here when officers could have been answering critical calls," said Femley.
When police didn't take the bait, the three women followed their foe to a local Wal-Mart in order to take matter into their own hands, Femley said.
What they didn't know, however, is that border patrol agents do not handle deporting. The agents called local police to deal with the women's claims instead.
No one was taken into custody. However, the three accused women are facing a felony charge of unlawful imprisonment.
Investigators said Kittila was the mastermind behind the plot. KOMO News went to her house, and a woman standing in the driveway said her daughter was involved in the incident but she did not know the details.
The targeted woman was not taken into custody as investigators by practice do not question crime victims of their immigration status.

Chris Brown alleged assault on a female
In what may or may not be related news, ET confirms that pop singer Rihanna will not be performing at tonight's Grammys following sustaining a bruised face in what sources called a car accident. Coincidentally, Rihanna's rumored boyfriend Chris Brown is under investigation for alleged domestic violence felony battery related to an alleged attack on a woman in a car who sustained what police call "visible injuries."
A Grammy representative tells ET that Rihanna's face is slightly bruised and no announcement has been made as to who will be taking her place on stage.
Related to the Brown investigation, police say Brown and the woman were in a vehicle in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles when, following an argument, the woman was allegedly injured, naming Brown as her attacker. When police arrived, they only found the woman; Brown had left. The Associated Press reported Sunday afternoon that police were still looking for the male R&B star.
Police say they received a 911 call related to the incident which occurred around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday. The LAPD is investigating the incident. [ET]
Update...
Chris Brown is under investigation for alleged domestic violence felony battery, the LAPD confirms to PEOPLE.
"The identity of the victim will not be released," said Officer April Harding. "Any victim who's involved in a domestic violence incident is entitled to confidentiality."
Around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, the R&B singer and a woman were in a vehicle in L.A. when they became involved in an argument, according to a police statement. After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated. The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker, according to police.
The LAPD received a 911 call reporting the disturbance. "If police locate Brown, yes, he's subject to arrest," Officer Harding added.
When officers arrived they found the victim, but Brown had already left the scene, the statement reads.
The LAPD is conducting an investigation into the incident.
Earlier Saturday night Brown and girlfriend Rihanna were at the Recording Academy and Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy Gala in Beverly Hills.
When asked about Rihanna's well being, her rep told PEOPLE, "Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support." [People]
Seriously, the age for males who hit women is getting younger and younger.
And what is with the Rihanna camp making excuses for this shit?
Update #2
Chris Brown turned himself into the police and has now gotten booked on the charge of domestic assault or felony assault. Bail is set at $50,000.Read More......
