BRIAN MCKNIGHT’S VIDEO

Brian McKnight is known for smooth, heartfelt ballads like Back at One and Do I Ever Cross Your Mind. Brian took a little break from the music that has made him a respected artist and debuted a racy song, If You’re Ready to Learn on Youtube. After the Twitter backlash, Brian responded, saying that he was just bored.

Brian, please pick up a hobby. Quick! Don’t throw your good name away because you’re tired of watching old episodes of Law & Order. Write for other artists. Goodness knows a lot of...

VANESSA WILLIAMS MOLESTED

Last week, Vanessa Williams made the rounds to talk about her new book and went public about being molested as a child. According to Williams, it started a reaction where she became "oversexed" early. This led to her becoming pregnant as a teenager. She says she aborted the baby because she was not prepared for it.

Williams' confessions are pretty raw but I have to commend her for being honest. There are a lot of people that have those types of experiences. They end up feeling like they are al...

TUPAC HOLOGRAM: GOOD OR BAD?

I always knew Tupac would "live" forever but it's even more obvious with his "appearance" at this year's Coachella music festival. Tupac's former producer and collaborator Dr. Dre brought Tupac back to life with a hologram performance. The technology was made possible through AV Concepts. Many reports say that Dr. Dre is planning to do more shows with the Virtual Tupac.

Although this sounds exciting, I think they're going to have to be careful because this could open up a can of worms that we...

DICK CLARK DIES

Dick Clark died of a massive heart attack at the age 82. His health hadn't been the same since his 2004 stroke but he continued to host his New Years Eve countdowns with Ryan Seacrest. He formerly hosted American Bandstand and also produced the New Years Eve shows year after year.

I hate to hear about another death. Already feels like we've had too many this year.

DIDDY HOUSE INVADED

A man broke into Diddy’s house at the Hamptons. Diddy wasn’t there so the man helped himself to the mogul’s food and clothes. This same man broke into Diddy’s house about 10 years ago. He entered the house through one of the open doors.

I think Diddy needs to make sure he locks his doors when he leaves his house. And what about an alarm system? People with a lot less than he has secures their possessions.

BRAD AND ANGELINA ENGAGED

Finally, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are going to make honest people out of each other, at least in their children’s eyes anyway. News broke Friday that the two are engaged to be married. Word is they may marry by the end of the year. Let the countdown begin.

I don’t know why but I had a feeling Brad and Angelina were nearing matrimony. Something about the way they’ve been answering the questions of their future lately. Even though they didn’t start under the best circumstances, I think they...

ADELE'S EX DISCOVERED

Detective Columbo/some hotshot reporter dug and dug until they found the person who may be the inspiration for Adele's highly successful sophomore album, 21. Apparently, the singer's ex is celebrity photographer Alex Sturrock. According to various sources, they met through friends and had an intense relationship but so far I have not seen any photos of the guy.

I mean, come on. I know his job is to photograph others but there's got to be at least one photo of him. Then again, I don't know why ...

MARY J. BLIGE BURGER KING CONTROVERSY

I've never seen Mary J. Blige face this kind of controversy before and, to be honest, I don't quite get it. Earlier this week, Burger King released a commercial on the Internet of promotion for their new chicken wraps. In the commercial, Blige sings about the ingredients. She reportedly made $2 million for the commercial but I'm sure the money wasn't worth the backlash she received from the black community. Some felt that the commercial was stereotypical and disrespectful. Burger King...

BOBBY KRISTINA THE ACTRESS

According to Daily News, Tyler Perry has cast Bobbi Kristina Brown in a reoccurring role in "For Better or For Worse." The 18 year old told Oprah that she would like to be an actress and singer and carry on her mother's legacy. Perry is a friend of the Houston family. He spoke at Whitney Houston's funeral.

It's good to have friends in high places. She probably half way had the job before she even auditioned but I think it's a good idea for her to get involved in something.

Just as Jaleel White is enjoying resurgence in his career/popularity, the mother of his 2 year old daughter is saying that he cheated on her multiple times and abused her. According to Radaronline.com, she accused him of pushing her into the toilet and trying to pay her out of her own daughter's life. White denies these claims.

Break-ups are a funny thing. Many people don't take it well but when money is involved it gets even more vicious. If this wasn't brought up before, she might as well...
