Is There A Wii Syndrome?

People are on the phone, as we speak, calling their lawyers while en route to some sort of a chiropractor or physician.  But, when they get there, they’re going to turn them around because they don’t have a treatment for Wii arm, foot, or neck.  There are all sorts of people out there going crazy with this gaming system.  They’re using it as a means to stay away from other people.  The Wii system was probably the creation of some gaming engineer who didn’t want to leave his game for fear of losing out on the high score.  Now it’s probably being used by a lot of folks diagnosed (and undiagnosed) with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).  People are getting happier with the thought of not having to leave their homes to adventure, exercise, eat, or competitively drive.

The system has its fans so entranced that people have started to incur injuries just as if they had been in a real boxing match, baseball game, or bowl-off.  And when they get to the doctor, they are probably not sharing that part of the story.  They never let on that it was a Wii induced injury, just a baseball game.  Watch this:

The iPhone Is Not Jigglin’ Baby

The iPhone almost got a lot popular there for a minute, but the forbidden fruit company decided against giving the phone a “boob” job.   Surely, a burst of morality (and lawsuits) danced like sugarplums in their heads.  Apple thought the idea of a phone that had jiggling breasts in the window may be over the top and offensive to everyone concerned.  The application allowed the phone to jiggle the breasts when shaken from side to side or up and down.  Men who have purchased the iPhone will be protesting by morning…on Christmas Eve no less.  Read here to see how you can get a petition going for women who want a “different” application of ”objectionable” content on their phone.

View here to see what’s NOT going to be offered on your iPhone gentleman…and I use that term loosely:

South African Eye Candy: ‘The Killing of Wendy’

The production company (Brainstorm Entertainment) based in Johanesburg, South Africa has just completed a feature length film entitled “The Killing of Wendy.” The film is a dark comedy starring, Vanessa Bell Calloway in the title role, Michael Boatman, Rachel True, Leila Arcieri, Caroline Chikezie, Bianca Lawson, Drew Sidora, Natalie Reid, Natalie Raitano, Angell Conwell and Melissa De Sousa.

The movie centers on the investigation into the murder of Wendy Johnson, an aging over-the-hill actress who has been blackmailing 9 other Hollywood types (Agent, Writer, Producer, Director and 5 actresses).  A detective Blake (Boatman) is called in to interrogate the women, but his questioning is severely compromised as he is not only a detective, but an aspiring screenwriter, actor and rapper and sees the interrogation as his way into “Hollywood.”

The film was shot entirely in South Africa directed by David Hickson, written by Jason Conway and produced by Eddie Chitate, Robi Reed and Ernest Gumbo.  The film’s anticipated release date is in March or April of 2009.

In the meantime, scroll down to check out thisNthat’s exclusive eye candy photos of the cast.  Lawd!

Dishin’ Dirt on Michael Jackson, Common and P. Diddy…

 What’s up y’all?!  I got mo’ dirt…

The Sun is reporting that Michael Jackson is seriously ill.  According to the newspaper, he is battling a genetic illness that has left him half blind and needing a lung transplant.  They also claim that he has emphysema as well as chronic gastrointestinal bleeding.  Mike’s brother Jermaine allegedly told the paper about his baby brother’s illness and said that he was not doing well at all.  They are really making it sound like he is at death’s door.  On the real, let’s keep Mike in our prayers…even if he ain’t sick (physically that is).

Side Bar- Hmmmm…it all sounds pretty suspect to me.  Why in the heck would Jermaine go to the Sun versus the Inquirer to get the news out about his brother?  Don’t they pay a lil’ more for their stories?  I’m just sayin’…

My other husband Lonnie Rashid…AKA Common recently did an interview with Trey the Choklit-Jok on Power 92 in the Chi where he discussed dating as well as his new CD, Universal Mind Control.  In the interview, he said that he did not mind who the media links him with.  Now all that may change if/ when they begin to link him with Kanye, but at the moment he does not mind being linked to Alicia Keys or Kerry Washington or whoever the media puts him with.  If y’all haven’t picked up the new CD, shame on you.  It is actually pretty good.  However, I am very biased.  I did tell y’all that he was my other husband.  Go cop the CD.  Spousal support ain’t cheap. 

Listen to the interview here:  common_on_dating.mp3

Side Bar-In case y’all are wondering, he and I have an open relationship.  He just doesn’t know it yet.  Therefore, don’t be rolling up on my man asking him about me.  We are like Beyonce and Jay Z.  Our relationship is very private and we don’t discuss it in the media.  Nuff said… 

Okay y’all, the most BRILLIANT man in entertainment is about to do it again.  In honor of his new “I Am King” fragrance Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs…AKA Diddy and Estee Lauder are presenting the opportunity of a lifetime.  They are asking all of the overachievers, superstars, hustlers, ballers, fathers, brothers and mothers to upload videos of themselves explaining to the world why they are “Kings” in their world.  Diddy is going to choose his favorite three submissions and fly those three individuals to New York for a three day all expense paid “King” like experience.  The competition ends January 25, 2009 so if you are interested, you had better get on it.  Read here for more details…

Side Bar-Puffy (he will always be Puffy to me), is a MARKETING GENIUS!  Dame, I’m trying to help a brotha out.  That is why your photo is in this blog.  If you are out there learn from P. Diddy.  This is how you stay on top when folks ain’t checkin’ for you no mo’.  Nuff said…

Will Good Samaritans Become A Dying Breed?

It appears that you can’t even help people these days without someone trying to cash in and I’m not talking about the helper.  The victims are now suing for being helped.  Can you believe it?  Are times that hard?  Has a capitalist regime in peril turned its inhabitants to their darkest side in the name of survival?  And is the capitalist system enabling the victims to get away with such absurd behavior?  Some judges out there are deliberating these cases. 

 The case you are about to hear will disappoint and anger you, but mainly because the healthcare system drove a woman, who is a paraplegic after a horrible car accident, to sue the friend that helped her out of the car.  At least that is who I want to blame for her actions.  Anything but a morality on the brink of destruction because of simple greed.  Check it out while I make sure my home insurance is paid up for my inauguration party in January.  Wouldn’t want a family member or anyone else to slip on spilled champagne and take my house from me.  Sheesh!
