How many of you got a chance to check out the Michael Jackson tribute during the 2010 Grammys? I’m sure that most of you heard that you should get some 3D glasses to get the full effect of the performance. Additionally, Target announced that they would be offering the glasses free of charge so that people could watch the dedication without issue. I don’t have a complaint about the performances because they were what they were, I guess. But were my glasses the only ones that didn’t work? Target provided you with about 4 pairs of glasses on one sheet…I checked ‘em all and nann pair worked. So I decided to call Target, just to see if anyone else complained. Queue the dramatics…I was just having fun although I really am mad as hell that I didn’t see what some of YOU may have seen.
Here’s the full tribute.
Now Either R. Kelly Ain’t Sh*t…
…or he needs another piss trial so his lawyers and label heads have something else better to do.
A couple months back, I posted THIS VIDEO of Michael Jackson sitting in the car, KILLIN’ R. Kelly’s hit song, Ignition. Well, apparently Universal Music is going after MJ’s estate to the tune of $3k because he never paid for the rights to use it. Word? So we have to pay for songs that we sing in the car now? I swear I’m riding mute mouth from now on…

RIP: Teddy Pendergrass
Prayers and condolences for the family of Teddy Pendergrass:
Teddy Pendergrass, who became R&B’s reigning sex symbol in the 1970s and ’80s with his forceful, masculine voice and passionate love ballads and later became an inspirational figure after suffering a devastating car accident that left him paralyzed, died Wednesday at age 59.
The singer’s son, Teddy Pendergrass II, said his father died at Bryn Mawr Hospital in suburban Philadelphia. The singer underwent colon cancer surgery eight months ago and had “a difficult recovery,” his son said.
“To all his fans who loved his music, thank you,” his son said. “He will live on through his music.”
Pendergrass suffered a spinal cord injury and was paralyzed from the waist down in the 1982 car accident. He spent six months in a hospital but returned to recording the next year with the album “Love Language.”
He returned to the stage at Live Aid in 1985, performing from his wheelchair.
Chris Henry’s Fiance Speaks…Finally
Loleini Tonga, the fiance of deceased football player, Chris Henry, has finally opened up to talk about what happened the day he “fell” from the back of the truck. I still don’t know what to make of this whole situation but I am surprised that more people haven’t questioned her role. It seems like people would’ve been a bit more vocal. Eh…Anyway, what do you guys think of Tonga’s explanation? Post your thoughts!
Michael Jackson: This Is It (VIDEO)
Spike Lee has put together a montage of photos and footage of the late, great Michael Jackson to create a video for his song, This Is It. Unfortunately, I’m not able to watch it but wanted to post it up for you guys to see and post your thoughts on. I still can’t believe he’s gone. I don’t know when it’s going to become final for me. RIP, MJ!
Pregnant Woman Dies After Being Refused by Medics
You have GOT to be kidding me! I can not believe this happened! Please believe that a lawsuit is in order and SOMEBODY
A pregnant Brooklyn woman suffering a fatal seizure in a coffee shop in the shadow of FDNY Headquarters was ignored by two callous city medics who continued to buy their breakfast, eyewitnesses told The Post.
“The EMTs just said we had to call 911. They got their bagels and left,” said a disgusted worker.
Frantic employees at the Au Bon Pain at 1 Metrotech Center approached the FDNY medics at 9 a.m. on Dec. 9, shortly after colleague Eutisha Revee Rennix, 25, began to complain of shortness of breath and intense stomach pains. Workers immediately dialed 911.
