Your favorite blogger (and mine too) lit up the red carpet at the 59th annual Writer’s Guild awards.
The real reason he was invited to the ceremony was so that TRACEY MORGAN didn’t have to be the only Black guy in the building that wasn’t shining shoes and serving food.
True story.
BLU CHEEZ came with me to the JAMES BROWN tribute party. Let’s take a look at some of the people he spotted…
Incognegro
Brownskin RIHANNA
My homey ALEX (his shorty looks way better in person)
My peeps Z and her girl ELLE (official white meat from Europe a/k/a ‘whiteville’)

Fuck yo’ couch!
I suppose it was only a matter of time before baseball finally went gay. What with all the talk of sticks and wood, along with the fact that the game is basically about catching balls. The Roc-A-Fella symbol is about to become some ubiquitous greeting in the sports world as well. Pictured above is a lip-glossed ALEX RODRIGUEZ doing the Roc hand sign as he purses his lips for kissing DEREK JETER no doubt (yes WEEZY EFFS BABY).
Now that the steroid scandal has subsided I imagine that baseball team owners will need to concoct another tempest in a teacup to keep the fans interested in their product during a dreadfully long season. Another drug scandal might not sit well with lawmakers in the Beltway and subject baseball to further scrutiny and inquiry, but a gay scandal could be titillating and help with the ratings for that elusive well heeled demographic – GLBT.
There’s a report floating around somewhere about how much money GLBT’s make as a demographic community when compared to their hetero breeder counterparts. The ghey player is sure to get some burn on the ELLEN DiGENERES Show as well as JAY LENO’s ‘Tonight Show’. This year marks the sixtieth anniversary of JACKIE ROBINSON re-integrating America’s pastime. Maybe this will be the year that a homo JACKIE ROBINSON comes out of the dugout, er, closet. JACKIE ROBINSON is one of my personal heroes but I can admit that the name JACKIE is very much GLBT.
Anyhoo, pitchers and catchers report this week. Let’s Go Mets.
PRINCE PAUL has renamed his Monday night gig at the trendy nightspot APT after another popular trend. I’ll be in the building because DP dot com loves the other white meat.
Speaking of the other white meat… Why is everybody screaming bloody murder about CRISTINA AGUILIERA’s performance of ‘It’s a Man’s World’? I think she honored the legend and spirit of JAMES BROWN in her ability and showmanship. She sang her tiny little heart out while down on her knees which by the way, is a good look for every woman if you ask me.
It’s the Grammys themselves that are full of shit for giving the Godfather a one song tribute, but peep this funky shit… In one night the Dixie Chicks won more Grammys than JAMES BROWN did for his ENTIRE career. And that includes all of the years during the 60’s and 70’s that he ruled the charts with hit songs. Say it loud…
WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT A GOTDAMN GRAMMY?!?
The SEAN BELL case was a perfect storm if ever I thought I saw one. It involved poor people and well-armed overly zealous cops. The victims were totally profiled and targeted by these cops and the final result was amazing in that all the victims weren’t killed. The intensity that the police then brought into the community in order to discredit these victims was classic supremacist terrorism.
I was anxious to see what would happen when the remaining victims recovered from their gunshot wounds. Would their recollection be the damning accounts to send these devil cops back to hell? We wrote, we protested, we marched and secretly we prayed. If we could establish our value within the system of supremacy, then maybe we could convince our brothers and sisters of their own self worth. This was the beautiful dream.
As the victims recovered and returned to their communities it became painful and brutally honest to see that one of the victims had no more consideration for SEAN BELL, then SEAN BELL would have had for a remote stranger. TRENT BENEFIELD comes from the safe southeast Queens New York neighborhood as FISTY SCENT. For him and others in the ‘hood that have been marginalized the ethos of ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is valid and somewhat progressive. TRENT BENEFIELD is now the million dollar man in his southside neighborhood.
My folks at PARDONMEDUKE dot com found TRENT’s MySpace page. Go peep some of the images of him lavishing himself with his new found fortune. These are the people that I wrote, protested and marched for. Ultimately, these are the type of people that we should all pray for. The folks that think they have only two options… Get Rich or Die Trying.
