JUSTIN SMOKES WEED

What is it about Playboy Magazine that makes singers want to bare their soul? Former boybander-turned- actor Justin Timberlake interviewed with them and admitted to smoking weed. He says he uses it to stop himself from thinking. I guess if your head is full of smoke, there isn't a whole lot to think about.

I don't think any less of him for admitting this but I can say that in reading more of the interview I'm glad he didn't fall for the same racial question that John Mayer did. Playboy can...

TRACY MORGAN CONTROVERSY

Whenever a comedian gets into hot water over something he said, it always gets me to thinking. Is there some invisible line that comedians are not supposed to cross? Today's comedians are not your grandma and grandpa's comedians. They make a lot of derogatory jokes and cross a lot of lines. To tell you the truth, if I don't like what they have to say, I just turn away from them.

With that being said, I understand that it's always a risk to say anything too outlandish about certain races...

JENNIFER HUDSON HOSPITALIZED

Oscar-winning actress/Grammy winning singer Jennifer Hudson was hospitalized yesterday. Various reports state that she has food poisoning. She canceled her The Early Show concert but has been released.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but think about the Oprah incident. All else aside, I hope she feels better. I know what it's like to eat something that's not good. Woof! Never want that to happen again.

GINUWINE REALITY SHOW

So, a trailer was posted around the Internet this week showing an 8 minute clip of Ginuwine: A New Beginning. This is supposed to be a reality show for the R&B singer. In the show, the G man will show/talk about his life on the road and his life at home in a house full of females. No network or air time was listed for it. You can check out the clip above.

Everybody and their grandmama has a reality show. So, why can't Ginuwine have one? The answer is he can. I would caution him about...

THE GOLDDIGGER'S CLUB

So, here's the announcement I was going to make. Starting this month, I will share information about my new book, The Golddigger's Club, such as characters, locale and other little tidbits, via Twitter/Facebook. Pay attention and make note of the details. When we reach the release date (January 3, 2012), I will host a contest to give away a free autographed copy of my book. The only way you can win is to answer a question about my book. The answer will be based on the little tidbits of...

HARVEY'S HAS EX-WIFE ARRESTED

Time isn't making things any easier between comedian Steve Harvey and his ex-wife, Mary. According to Radaronline.com, Harvey had her arrested for missing a court date. She was disputing the custody agreement for their 9 year old son but she didn't show up for March 10th court date. She turned herself in on Friday and was processed and released with $5,000 bond.

I say life is too short to be haggling over past issues. It's obvious she harbors some resentment towards Harvey. Rather it's...

PINK'S NEW BABY

According to Popeater.com, Pink gave birth to a girl, Willow Sage Hart, this week. The singer made the announcement via Twitter saying that the baby looks like her father, Corey Hart. Pink and Corey have been married since 2006. The two split back in 2008 but reconciled the next year. This is their first child.

Congrats to Pink & Corey! I've always thought they were a good couple.

JANE SEYMOUR'S TWO CENTS

When the whole Arnold Schwarzenegger love child thing broke, most celebrities didn't say much. This is the usual (and understandable) response. Yet, there was one celebrity who felt the need to put her two cents in: actress Jane Seymour. I remember when I first heard her talk about it she said that there was more information that was gonna come out. And then the next thing I knew, she was telling a reporter that she heard Arnold had two more kids.

The idea that Arnold may have other outside...

SELENA AND JUSTIN SITTIN IN THE TREE

Haha. More like playing in the water. This week, people made a big deal about pop phenom Justin Bieber and actress Selena Gomez frolicking in the water on vacation in Hawaii. They were looking a little more than cozy, especially in photos where Justin was palming Selena's tail. Well, it's not their first vacation (without their parents).

Look, I sure hope that this whole thing doesn't get anymore out of hand than it already is. Justin's fans are already threatening Selena. Overall, I think...

MOTIVIATION - KELLY ROWLAND

I have to be honest. I've just about given up on ex Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland. Yes, she can sing. Yes, she's pretty but her career has stalled ever since the group disbanded. I kinda got tired of rooting for her. However, I am happy to see her getting a little shine for her current song Motivation. Although I do have one question.

Am I the only one annoyed with that little short sleeved coat she's wearing? I mean, it doesn't even match the purple outfit she has on and it gets in...
