mariah-carey-320
First it was the CD delays. Mariah’s latest album “Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel” has been pushed back to Sept. 29. Now she is pushing back events. She has pushed back her Walk Of Fame event that was scheduled for August 25, and also a tapping of Storytellers. Some have been buzzing that Eminem’s diss record has silenced the diva. Since the song leaked, she virtually dropped out of sight.

Her publicist told People there is no reason for concern: “These dates have been postponed and not canceled,” she said Friday.

Makes you wonder has Eminem really ethered Mariah?

Rihanna Getting Love

rihannanippies1
Quentin Tarantino signed autographs and talked to press recently at the Toronto premiere of Inglourious Basterds. On the red carpet, Quentin spoke about hanging out with Rihanna at the film’s recent London premiere.

“Oh she really really loved the movie, alright,” he told MuchNews. “So we talked about that and uh, she wants me to do a video so, we will see what we will see.”

The director says he might even be up for casting her in one of his films.

“If it’s the right part. If it’s the right part and I thought she’d knock it out the box, then I’d be lucky.”

Taylor Swift comes in with her take on Rihanna

“I think Rihanna has always been amazing at the VMAs,” she says. “Everything that she’s decided to do as far as fashion on the red carpet, she takes chances.”

Swift, 19, knows what she’s performing at the show – a fresh version of her song “You Belong With Me” from her hit album Fearless – but her outfits are another story.

“I actually have no idea what I’m going to wear for my performance,” she says, “or the red carpet so I better get on that.”


What Kind Of Hyundai Are We Talking?

hyundai-equus


What kind of Hyundai? Is that the question we will here when a man is bragging on his new vehicle purchase? There was time when you said you pushed a Hyundai and a lot of women ended the conversation. Hyundai is working hard to change that image. First with the introduction of The Genesis, and now with the US debut of the Equus.

Drake also apologizes for his part of the beef with Motown.

“I can definitely say for me, for furthering the negativity, I can definitely say I apologize,” Drake said in an interview. “I don’t know her personally to discredit her character. It’s not the right thing to do…It was basically [me] feeling trapped. I was courted by somebody and then they just axed everything. I was stuck. They disappeared. And I couldn’t find anybody to talk to about the situation. And then to meet again a year later and to have this person forget they ever met me and say that I should go meet at their office so we can talk about signing me. I was kind of in one of those moments like, for real? [But] everybody has those moments where things aren’t gonna go perfect…I was looking for an opportunity recently to apologize for how vicious I’ve been…Not to say I negate my feelings — I still feel strongly about it. But I’m a person that usually handles things with much more tact.”

“Thank Me Later” Drake’s debut is due in stores in later this year.


Michael Vick Signs W/ Philly

Well it was a matter of time before someone stepped up and forgave Michael Vick. He has just signed a two year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. “On the surface, the Eagles are getting an immensely talented player at a relatively low rate. But they could end up paying a far higher price than the $1.6 million they’ve reportedly committed to Michael Vick over the first year of his contract.” – ESPN. I am sure PETA will be at every game booing and protesting.

Teachers, Learn From A Real Teacher

84]

Teachers who complain about students, low wages and a host of other issues can learn from Sylvester Franklin. He has been teaching for almost 60 years with only two day off. Check the story below.

HASKELL, OK — 59 years at one job is inspiring, but 59 years teaching math and science to middle school students is impressive.

That’s the case for Sylvester Franklin, whose career started shortly after World War II came to an end. The only place he has ever taught is in Haskell, in Muskogee County.

A bustling hallway marks the start of a new school year in Haskell.

“Well I’m so glad you all are here this morning,” said Sylvester Franklin.

“Make sure you’re ready for class, that’s the main thing.”

Franklin is starting his 59th year as a school teacher in Haskell. This year it’s math to sixth graders.

“Mainly I stayed here all those years because I didn’t have any particular reason to leave,” said Franklin.

Now 84-years-old, Mr. Franklin started teaching shortly after fighting in the Battle of Okinawa during World War II.

He spent 16 years at Haskell’s all-black school before desegregation.

Drake And Motown Still Going At It

drakeVia Billboard: Reps at Motown are requesting all Drake Billboard chart entries be credited to Motown and not Republic moving forward — a change that will be reflected in this week’s charts. A source close to Drake says the rapper is signed to Republic, but that Motown will distribute the album, alleging that Motown — specifically Rhone — wants to take “credit for anything involving Drake.” But a source at Universal says it seems as if Drake’s deal with Republic was never finalized before Drake and his camp started confirming it to the media, and that the move to Motown was made last minute. Motown may get first dibs on any artist signed to Young Money and Cash Money regardless of the artist’s preference.
