That Bravo show is hilarious-she IS awesome!!!
I am sick and tired of reading all these articles about Jamaicans beating homosexuals. I hate it that they use the bible when convenient. Yes the bible says homosexuality is wrong but it also says that fornication is wrong, adultery is wrong. Why is it that these 50 year old grown men having sex with 15 year olds aren’t being beaten down and that’s just a big sin as being gay. I just don’t understand why Jamaicans but so much emphasis on homosexuality. Yes we know that its wrong and immoral but it is ok to have sex before marriage and the bible clearly condemns that? ludicrous!
no doubt Zonday and Dr. Pepper will form a mutually beneficial relationship

Here’s a somewhat complete list of MJ’s sampled songs: http://songweave.com/michael-jackson/
I didn’t get a couple on this list. What are the samples for the Ludacris and Grand Puba cuts?
respect but ill…no thanks
that ‘lego’ t-shirt is oddly fierce
she looks amazing, wow.
there’s a movie about this and everything
anything by david bowie or travie from gch. ha!
While I VERY much appreciate the love you’ve shown me GAKCITY, I am ONLY asking that people give me an e-mail address in exchange for the song. It’s a simple two-step process on http://www.VikterDuplaix.com As we all know, music isn’t “free”, but I want to say thank-you to all those that have supported me in my career.
Streaming the song is cool, but I’d ask that you visit my site in order to download.

the full length is called New Designer Drug. i think 4000 A.D. was just a leak EP type thing. a few cool songs on it. don’t know if they’ll be on the actual full length

Beautiful and innocent. I wished the film was much longer, I really liked it and voted for it several times.
He says: “Are you dreaming? Have you ever dreamt this life? Hello. I love you. I love you.”
…I hear this in my dream, wish I could hear this when awake…
Best film at Sundance.
I thought this short film was soul rocking as it played with possibilities for those who may have never thought this kind of match. I thought the energy was sweet, alluring, contemplative and provocative. It gave me the chills to hear him whisper to her in his native tongue, for her to want to be taught how to pronounce the words he spoke. Such a calm between the two, but acceptance is here. I liked it a lot.
If I had to give a criticism I would say that I would have liked to see more overt affection, more hugs and few deep kisses to “lock in” the sheer power of this message and reality.
Thanks for listening.

Lady Gaga definitely should win the award for the most unusual dresses worn by anyone ever. She always has new costumes up her sleeve. Guess for her it’s hallooween everyday.
This is a beautiful an well needed gift to offer the up and comming generations. Thanks for the hope Mary!
I wanted to get in touch with Mary J Blige. I run a non profit charity in the NYC called Gifted Hands and am seeking partners who believe in the same empowerment and training for women. We run on gift in kind and grants. We have started a Potential Empower Train(PET) program for vocational education jewelry design to train women in entry level designing jobs. All our programs are free and we offer small grants to women who write a business plan and we help them meet small goals.
I live 3 miles from Yonkers and I would love to have a meeting to discuss how we might be able to partner. I have started 60 therapeutic recreational art programs in NYC, Honduras and So Africa over the last 16 years. My goal is to help other agencies reach out to fractured populations and help empower them and bring hope back into their lives.
We offer mentoring programs, women’s brunches, art classes, design, singing and dance classes,job coaching, vocational education classes, and job readiness
Our target populations are women in need, abused women, homeless and needy women and children living in shelters and the HIV/AIDS populations.
We are funded with grants, and gift in kind from both secular and christian agencies in NYC to accomplish our goals.
Please get in touch with me. Dustee Hullinger 917 604 6171.

The video is getting cut off. If you change the size in your embed code you can fix it. It sucks not being able to see the whole video…
Good information, thanks for the post!
This movie from beginning to end held my attention and kept me wondering what and why all the way until the end. I take pride in my ability to see foreshadowing, but this movie did it so well that I got shivers at the end.
I recommend The Book of Eli to people who are use to the normal story, and have not been surprised in a movie in a long time. I recommend this movie to anyone who has played Fallout 3. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see a good movie, and escape Avatar’s amazing, but huge shadow.
team coco! don’t be cynical!
On the radio today, I heard a very new song by Michael Jackson that was just leaked. And Ne-yo wrote it. And it starts with him going yeah yeah yeah. Does anyone know what it is?
I like the song, and the video is a “feel-good” video. Interesting to hear an Anti-Gentrification POV from a white guy/ Native NYer.
Right from hometown, this guy is killin it!
thanks to you, homie!
