Tyler Perry continues to promote his upcoming play-turned-movie Madea’s Big Happy Family, by using blockbuster movies and popular culture icons as references for his posters. In his most recent promo poster, he’s dressed as Snooki in a hilarious spoof of the hit MTV Reality Show “Jersey Shore”.
He’s also done Black Swan, The King’s Speech, True Grit, The Brady Bunch, and The Godfather over the past few months.
“Madea’s Big Happy Family” opens in theatres April 22.
A popular hip-hop deejay (Megatron, 32), who was also, a 106 & Park, TV personality was gunned down in cold blood; just steps away from his Staten Island home yesterday — and left with a single dollar in his wallet, law-enforcement officials said.
Corey McGriff, which is his real name, may have been distracted and talking on his cell phone, when he was shot in the chest around 2 am on Osgood Avenue near Vanderbilt Avenue in Clifton sources said. But McGriff’s mother believe that her son was in the wrong place at the wrong time, suggesting that the motive was robbery.
Although there are no eye-witnesses to the shooting, police sources said they’ve all but ruled out a street stick up and are looking at several scenarios, including whether someone was angry over being stiffed on a debt owed by McGriff.
Three months ago, a person using the name “Megapayup” raged against McGriff on YouTube:
“Megatron, i use to think he was mad cool . . . I always helped him out when ever he needed it. . . . This one time tho, I was the fool. “Who hides and tries to dodge people they owe. . . . So u say ur not gonna pay the bill. . . . Bad shyt will stay happening to u, cuz you do bad.”
McGriff leaves behind 3 children: 11, 4 and 9 months old.
Lakita Evans is keeping the name of her new burger joint despite the growing protests from civic-minded people who say the name “Fat Ho Burgers” is offensive to a small segment of society.
Evans says that people are offended by the name simply because they aren’t familiar with urban slang. “It’s not calling people a ho. It’s just like they say, ‘Oooh that ho is big,’ or, ‘That ho is tight!” she told Fox News.
In the black community, the term “ho” is freely applied to people not things., and other local business owners are not in agreement with the name.
They think the 23-year-old is just using the name as a publicity stunt to draw attention to her business.
Pastor Marsha Martie, owner of the nearby Gospel Cafe, said: “[It] would’ve been nice to think a little more sensitively.”
But Evans, who tips the scales at over 200 lbs herself, says people should be more concerned with what’s going on in the world rather than the name of her burger joint.
“Look what’s going on in Japan. It’s like clear this world is not gonna get any better. Why cry and be depressed? The economy is bad. Somebody gotta keep a sense of humour around here,” she said.
We have heard about the Chris Brown GMA rage all week and personally, I think people need to let it go!!!!! But my loyal “ceo blog-reader” Yasha Lynn, will not be satisfied until I add my two cents about Wendy Williams comments following.
Wendy Williams was wrong for calling Chris Brown a dummy, in my opinion he’s immature, human and like the rest of us, make mistakes. The “loud mouth” talk show host did say one thing that I totally agree with though:
“Your rage was uncalled for. Robin was right to ask you about Rihanna. You will get asked that question from now until the end of time… and you’d better figure out a politically and mature way of answering it!”
Here’s Chris Brown’s response to Wendy on his Twitter page:
This type of perversion is really sick., but a 41-year-old british man was locked up and sentenced to two years in jail for repeatedly breaking onto a farm, covering himself in cow manure – then masturbating.
David Truscott apparently couldn’t help himself because at one point the farm owner took out a restraining order against him. That still didn’t stop him, cops found him on three separate occasions on this man’s farm covered in manure and surrounded by tissues.
Judge Christopher Elwen dismissed calls for leniency saying Truscott’s “bizarre and perverted activities,” demanded he be jailed.
