I told ya'll on day one I was MOODY. Now it has been brought to my attention that I have not blogged in a long time. I have several reasons. Please pick one that best satisfies you and if you are still unhappy with my explanations please use the comment tab to vent.

#1. I feel IGNORED AND UNDERAPPRECIATED. I told you I really felt like most of my friends would totally ignore my blog and that this was supposed to be just like a web journal for me since I don't expect anyone to read it. Well I have gotten some comments from people that I have not been blogging so I guess people do read it on occasion. But since I don't know who is reading I kinda feel unmotivated to vent. You know I like an audience. Make yourself know. Do I have to start shouting out my cell number like Mike Jones to feel the love from my people?

#2. I am MOODY. I cannot stress this enough. I have mood swings but not to the degree that I need Paxcil or that other stuff. But like last week, I was feeling so very EVIL that I knew if I got on here I was gonna say really nasty things about all the celebrities on BET's Hurricane Trina telethon and I didn't think that would be productive...though it should have been done. I apologize but someone needs to get Erykah Badu together, address Queen Latifah's new butch look (well...I guess it aint new but she need to put that back in the closet) as well as the whole freestyle friday thing. Remember that? Ok...quick recap:

There was this really butch girl who was a former contestant on Freestyle friday...and by the way, she had an instant connection to Queen Latifah. I'm just saying. But anway, she was ont here with her family because they are all from Nawlins and they lost their home because of Trina. So BET present the girl, let's just call her Keisha, and her family with a brand new SUV to get back on their feet.

Backup...they lost their home, their job (they ran a school) and everything else and BET gave thema new SUV. Now prior to this, BET's exec board donate $250,000 to the releif effort. Haven;t you read all the stories about African AMericans owning nice cars but not owning homes? So why would the nation's only Black netowrk give a homeless family an SUV. Isn;t that playing into the sterotype? They don't have anywhere to live but now they have a 2005 gas-guzzling SUV. Make sense? And oh...the family was SOOOOOOOOO excited. I would have been happeir had BET been like "Here is $45,000....please use it as a downpayment." I mean...really.

And anyone who has been to one of her shows knows that Miss Badu likes to go off on tangents that only make sense in here haze-induced world. So she was on there looking a hot mess with finger-waved braids (yea....you read that right) and talking about the slave master and all the slaves and peave and love and blah blah blah. She was of course singing some abstract shit she made up in the limo on the way to the benefit in-between puffs and it sounded like ash.

Aaron Nevile - get that mole removed and though we are all excited that you are 75 years old and have the body of a 45 year old on steroids, do you always have to wear the Smeediums?

Kindred The Family SOul - Ya'll still together? Who booked you for the show?

See that is what happens and that is why I am not down with the M.J. benefit single cause they be calling all these forgotten celebrities and asking them to come back on tv. I was so waiting for BET to announce the reunion appearance of Total in honor of Hurricane Trina.

#3. I almost forgot I was supposed to be apologizing and stuff. I have been a little upset for the past week or so. Problems in my love life. I have a big fight with someone I like and a good friend of my upset me so I didn;t feel like getting online a lot. ANd oh, I am still mad at Kenneth Cole for not inviting me to his show for Fashion Week. After all I have done for him. Its not just the pages of GQ that sell his clothes. People always compliment my style so I feel that his success is a result of me just as it is a result of craftmanship and marketing. I tell ya, it's enough to make you put your finger on the trigger.

Daily Gossip Update:

THE BOLD AND THE GANGSTA (courtesy of The New York Daily News)

Death Row Records head Suge Knight may be getting mobility back in his leg after his Aug. 28 shooting in Miami. But, for now, the rest of his assets are frozen.

California Superior Court Judge Adrienne M. Grover issued the ruling the day after the shooting. It follows a March court order for Knight to pay $107 million to Lydia Harris, who claimed she helped start Death Row Records and was owed money from the recording label.

The latest ruling favors Harris' ex-husband, Michael, an imprisoned drug dealer who claims he deserves half of her take.

Michael Harris, who's doing 28 years, has claimed he put up $1.5 million from behind bars in 1991 to help start the record label. Though Knight denies this, Judge Grover chilled his wealth to prevent him from "disposing [of] or transferring his assets," said Michael Harris' lawyer Steven Goldberg.

A lawyer for Knight could not be reached for comment.

I think the woman and her husband are gangsta and brave. If Suge Knight owed me money I would just add it to my credit card debt and call it a lost.

WACKO JACKO RECORDS SONGS FOR THE KIDS (hurt by Hurricane Trina)

Some scoffed when scandal-scarred Michael Jackson said he was going to organize a "We Are the World"-style song to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. But, despite Jay Leno jokes about helping storm-tossed boys, His Gloveliness claims he has major star commitments for his song "From the Bottom of My Heart." Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott, R. Kelly, Wyclef Jean, Lenny Kravitz, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige, Kenneth (Babyface) Edmonds, James Brown, Snoop Dogg, The O'Jays and Ciara are among the artists said to be performing. Jackson's pal, Bahrain's Prince Abdullah Hamad Alkhalifa, is due to release the track on 2 Seas Records

I am so tired of 100 millionaires banning together to ask us broke middle-class people to send our money to a cause. yes, I feel sorry for the survivors. But um, I bet Ms. Carey is going to pull up in a limo wearing 2 million in jewels with a $10,000 a day hair stylists, but she gonna ask me to send a check somewhere? Or buy this single...hell no...I will see all of you on Napster thank you very much.

How about we donate some of the money we charge those records labels and production companies for food, hair/makeup, limo services and airfare all to the victims. And why do you need all those people? I haven’t liked a benefit song since We Are the World and that should have been the end of it. I guess if it really makes money that is a good thing but its not like you can really hear Latoya Jackson and Pia Zadora singing the chorus of We Are the World anyway so what was the point in having them there? So they could say they did something? Bulltwinkie.


USHER SUPPORTS KANYE

""Usher is taking umbrage with reports that he doesn't support his pal Kanye West. We told you yesterday that Master P. had knocked Kanye for asserting that President Bush "doesn't care about black people." But Usher insisted yesterday: "If it wasn't for his comments, there would not be an open dialogue about the underserved people in the Gulf Region.

Our country is in a state of emergency — instead of the media trying to turn celebrities against one another, we should all come together as one and support the victims of this devastating tragedy" …""

I like that. Family sticks together.

ESSENCE TO KEEP FEST IN NAWLINS

""Essence Magazine still plans to throw the mag's annual Music Festival in New Orleans next July. "We're sending someone down to check out the sites soon," producer Nicole Wright said Monday night at a party here to celebrate the mag joining the Time-Warner family. Time Inc. chief Ann Moore is thrilled to have the African-American staff on board.

"They're always so lively," she told us. "They can turn even an ordinary staff meeting into a revival meeting." She said it…""

WOOOOOOOOOOOW. I know the Daily News added a lil flair to the repetition of this quote but damn. It kinda makes you do a double take the way they printed it.
