Black Celebrity Men

Looks like Jamie Foxx has conquered what every black celebrity man (excluding the few who have, i.e. Michael Ealy, Wesley Snipes, Christopher Williams, Eric Benet...) has been after since she stepped on the scene: Halle Berry.

Halle, sporting her signature haircut once again, gave Jamie Foxx the kiss of his life last night after she accepted 'Decade of Hotness' award at Spike TV's 2009 'Guys Choice' Awards. I don't know who initiated the kiss, but judging by the pictures both parties were willing participants. They even took it as far as squeezing each others 'packages.' Jamie made sure that since this would probably be his only opportunity in life at getting this close to Halle Berry, he was going to make it unforgettable! LOL! While Halle, who has a boyfriend and young toddler at home (hope they weren't watching), grabbed the contents of his 'safe deposit box'! I remember watching Nia Long promote her and Jamie's movie 'Bait' on Keenen Ivory Wayans talk show yeaaaaaaaaaars ago. She said that Jamie had 'front and back!'

New Orleans Saints football player Reggie Bush and his attention-whoring girlfriend Kim Kardashian were ranked #32 on Zimbio.com's 100 hottest couples list. Their rank was based on their levels of success, attractiveness, popularity and staying power. I literally laughed out loud when I read about what Zimbio.com thought of their relationship...and then I laughed out loud even louder when I read about how Kim was so 'honored' to be ranked on their list. Either Kim couldn't comprehend that they were bashing her OR she just chose to overlook it. Check out how they ranked below:

Success.
Kim got about $5 million from Vivid Entertainment for her sex tape scandal, but that was back in 2007. Since then, she's relied on bits like Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Dancing With the Stars, and Disaster Movie. Reggie, on the other hand, won a Heisman in 2005 and is set to earn $2.6 million in 2009 from the New Orleans Saints. By 2011, he'll be raking in 11.8 million dollars a year.

Staying Power.
This couple has been together since 2007, and engagement rumors are constantly surrounding them. Unlike many couples, they don't have a huge laundry list of high-profile relationships, though Kim famously dated R&B singer Ray J. It seems like things could go either way for these two, but the tension between Reggie's shyness and Kim's lust for media attention could get nasty. For the moment, he's trying to play along.

Compatibility.
Kim's a free-spirited Libra, in contrast to Reggie, who's a soulful Pisces. Although they attract each other at first, Bush may get sick of Kardashian's need to be constantly adored. Sometimes astrology is eerie, no?

She was honored by all of that? Jesus, please be a bucket of common sense and pour it over her head! Maybe she and window-licking Reggie are meant to be together because Lord knows they're both the most simpleminded couple in this industry.

In the meantime and in between time, Mariah and Nick Cannon came in at #54; Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and Jay-Z and Beyonce were ranked #6 and #2, respectively.

Grammy award winning producer/songwriter Dallas Austin held his Dallas Austin Foundation's Black Carpet premiere recently in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 2003 by Austin, the Dallas Austin Foundation, Inc. (DAF) is a tax exempt organization whose focus is youth development through the art of music and film. The foundation recognize that young people who are exposed to music programs excel academically and are more likely to attend college. To date, the DAF has served over 9,000 students. “We’ve had successful careers — myself and numerous other musicians and producers out of Atlanta. This is the only way to give back and make sure kids have a head start on what we had a start on,” says the music maestro, filmmaker and TV show producer. “It’s a big deal to give back, and ... it teaches the kids that when you make it, you give back also."

That's a good look, Dallas.

Celebrities in attendance included Dallas' ex-girlfriend and TLC member Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas; Atlanta Falcon's fullback Ovie Mughelli; and producer Jazze Pha. I'm sorry but it can not be healthy and/or comfortable being for Jazze to be that big at that height. I got shortness of breath just looking at him! Also, Dallas' youngest son, Dominick (sp) accompanied him to the event. I couldn't find any pictures of Chilli and Dallas' son Tron or Tron's half-brother and Dallas' oldest son Cypress...so I'm assuming they didn't attend.

Anyhoo, it looks like a good time were had by all and judging from the pictures, you could not tell Chilli or Dallas (peep the pics of him getting his jam on after the jump) that they weren't getting down!

According to contactmusic.com, Master P.'s brother rapper C-Murder (real name Corey Miller) will spend the next 10 years of his life in prison after pleading no contest to charges of second degree murder of a 16-year old boy during a brawl at a New Orleans nightclub back to 2002. He was convicted in 2003 and handed a life sentence, but it was overturned in 2006 after he had spent three years in a Louisiana prison. A new trial was granted based on claims prosecutors improperly withheld criminal background information on three of their witnesses. Miller was placed on house arrest pending the retrial, which was due to begin this week, but he reportedly struck a deal with prosecutors on Wednesday (5.27.2009) and has pleaded no contest to the two counts of attempted murder. As per the agreement, Miller will be sentenced to 10 years in prison - but the term will not be handed down officially until August 25th.

Prior to the agreement with prosecutors, Miller was facing a mandatory life sentence if convicted of teenager Steve Thomas' death.

One of the many, many, many offspring of the first family of comedy is featured in a recent issue of HM magazine. It's Damon's son, Damon Jr., who made his big screen starring debut in Dance Flick which is in theaters now...and yall it's funny as hell. Once again the Wayans didn't disappoint me! He stars alongside his uncles Shawn and Marlon and his aunt Kim. Damon Jr.'s cousin, Damien Dante Wayans directed the film and his other cousin Craig Wayans co-wrote the film with Damien, Keenen...and the rest of 'em. Talk about keeping it all in the family! That's a lot of Wayans on one screen! Them damn Wayans are something else! If they know how to get anything, it's money...oh and jobs for their family members!

Anywho, he has been in the entertainment industry for a minute now. He (and his brother Michael) had a recurring role on My Wife & Kids and later landed a job as staff writer on the series becoming at 20, the youngest staff writer on television, according to imdb.com. After the series ended, Damon went on to perform stand-up under the moniker Kyle Green (Kyle is his middle name; and Green is his grandmother's maiden name). Damon Jr. said he didn't want to use the Wayans name for fear of being judged just because he's a Wayans. Kyle Green was basically a name he used to avoid pressure and to help him get familiar with doing stand up. Now performing under his birth name, Damon says he will continue doing stand-up as well as more acting and writing. I wish him well and hope to see more of him real soon. He's a really funny dude. And he looks and sounds exactly like his father!

On Wednesday afternoon, with his wife, Kimora, due to deliver their baby boy any day now, Djimon was spotted running throughout the streets of SoHo in and out of several shops while she waited (while demanding him to hurry the hell up?) for him in the car.

Chris Brown and his new BFF, Bow Wow played a game of b-ball with Chris Tucker and Shaq at Shaq's home last weekend. Bow Wow posted the following pics on his Twitter page. In related news, Chris is apparently still isn't feeling the love from folks since he bashed Rihanna's head in back in March. He, along with his BFF by his side, took to youtube to post a clip of the singer promoting his new album, Graffiti AND to let folks know that he isn't that 'monster' that everyone has made him out to be. Peep the clip below the pictures.

And things just keep getting worse for CB. According to TMZ.com, he is being sued for assault and battery (and a host of other charges) on a photographer on a basketball court back in March...just weeks after he put the smackdown on Rihanna. You can read about those details after the jump!

PER TMZ.COM:

According to the lawsuit, filed just moments ago in L.A. County Superior Court, the photog claims it all went down just weeks after the Rihanna incident, when he shot a photo of Chris playing ball with his friends. The photog claims Chris' bodyguards yelled at him -- so he tried to leave the gym ... but an L.A. Fitness employee tried to block his escape. The photog says he then fell down a stairwell, which allowed the bodyguards to catch up with him -- where they, "picked him up by his shorts and physically assaulted him." The photog claims he was a paying member at the gym and had every right to be on the property.

Now the man is suing Chris and LA Fitness for assault and battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and premises liability.

Talk about blowing up the blogosphere something proper like! Sexy Spec of Pretty Ricky posted a youtube clip of the group's newest single, Tipsy In Dis Club. And as a 'bonus' to all of his lady fans, which probably consists mostly of fast-in-the-ass teenage girls, he included what looked like a gay-male stripper's dance. I say that because he started the dance off with a fierce ballerina-like twirl. I literally laughed out loud when I saw this clip posted on LSA last night. Literally! And I ain't gon lie, I had to watch it at least three times to believe that this dude was on filmed himself on camera grinding as if he was a petite female version of Ciara! And can somebody please tell him that cornrows in 2009 is not the business. Looking like a brown lizard wearing red panty-drawls. Real talk. I swear if I see another dude still sporting cornrows in the '09, it's gon be a misunderstanding betwinxt me and him.

Anyhoo, he said he did it for the ladies. Well, sweetie, guess what? We (grown) ladies don't want it. Real talk. Oh yeah, Spec, Riley Freeman has a message for you. CLICK HERE. What's even runnier is the fact that dude pulled his video from his youtube account after being clowned about it...however, by that time folks had already snatched it up and made copies of their own. Not only has his original video been copied, folks have also made spoof video responses to it. Youtube is truly the devil! Check out my favorite spoofs after the jump!

House of Payne's Lance Gross and Meet the Brown's Denise Boutte were featured in a fashion photospread in the latest issue of Monarch magazine. When I first saw these pictures, they threw me for a loop and for a second I began to think that Lance had joined the cast of Meet the Browns. I guess I was expecting to see either Lance and (his television wife) Keisha Knight Pulliam together in this spread or either Denise and (her television husband) Lamman Rucker. Would've made sense, right? But on the other hand, having Lance and Denise pose together promotes both shows. Nevertheless, the photos turned out absolutely beautiful! I have another photoshoot of Lance that I will post in the near future.

In the meantime, peep the pics below by clicking on each photo to see its full image. Oh, and don't forget to check out the season finale of House of Payne on Wednesday night (May 27th) at 9 p.m. Tyler Perry says we aren't going to be ready for the drama that goes down between Calvin (Gross) and Miranda (Knight Pulliam). After the House of Payne finale, the second season of Meet the Browns will air at 10 p.m. with two all new episodes. 'Very funny.' *wink*

Usher was seen conversing with Chris Brown at last Friday's Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Orlando Magic game in Orlando. Several months ago, Usher along with his Ocean's 5 (or is it 6, 7, or 8?) crew blasted Chris after seeing photos of the singer cruising on jet skis seemingly without a care in the world at Diddy's Miami home just weeks after he beat Rihanna down on Grammy night. Usher later released a statement through his spokesperson saying the comments he made were 'blown out of proportion.' Well, it looks like they've let bygones be bygones. It also looks like Usher would've given anything if it meant Chris would get the hell up out of his face and let him watch the game in peace. LOL!
