Ray J Displays his Kim Kardashian Look-a-like on 106 And Park

He went on 106 & Park to talk about his new single, I Hit It First – an obvious song about his relationship with Kim Kardashian, although he tries to deny it – but it was the guest Ray J brought with him to the studio that had everyone talking and continuing the controversy about the single.

Her name is Luba, and she stayed backstage until the audience began yelling “bring her out, bring her out.” Luba then walked onstage, receiving hugs and kisses from the show’s host Bow Wow. Bow Wow then began pointing out the fact that Luba looked just like Kim, but was cut off by Ray J.

Ray J’s and Kim Kardashian’s relationship took on a whole new meaning when the two made a sex tape that went viral. Many people believed that sex tape made Kim Kardashian famous. After some failed relationships including a marriage, Kim hooked up with Kanye West and is now pregnant with his child.

I Hit It First debuted No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Sony’s Speaker Ball Is Music to your Ears

Part of a growing trend among accessories, Sony’s egg is equipped with NFC (near-field communication) for instant pairing with any NFC phone. That includes almost all top-line Android models, including Sony’s as well as franchise players such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One, but not the iPhone.

To pair, just enable NFC through the phone’s settings and hold it over the top “bridge” over the driver, where the NFC tag sits. This will immediately links the phone with the speaker via Bluetooth. Those without NFC phones can fall back to the plain old Bluetooth pairing, which is hardly cumbersome, but still complicated enough that it prevents many from ever using it. There’s also a mini-jack input for a hard-wire connection.

About the size of a tennis ball, the Sony SRS-BTV5 is a wireless speaker that can pair with your phone via NFC — meaning all it takes is a touch. It delivers good sound for the price: $69.99

The Dwight Howard Situation

I will just like to put this out there now, I’m a big Lakers fan so pardon me if this article has any bias based opinions.

Back in August of last year the Dwight Howard to LA trade went down and my beloved Lakers went to the top of the charts and instant favorites to be serious contenders for our next NBA Championship. Our front court had the most dominant center in the league in Dwight Howard, the best passing big man in Pau Gasol; add to that one of the greatest shooters in NBA history in Steve Nash and one of the best to ever play the game in Kobe Bryant. Fast forward to April of this year and we are swept right out of the playoffs, the ones we just barely crept into, by the San Antonio Spurs. Now Laker Nation awaits July 1st when our next “franchise superstar” in Dwight Howard marches his way into free agency. After watching him this season, I say let him go.

How Laker Nation last saw Dwight during game 4 against the Spurs

This years free agency class is highlighted by Dwight Howard (seeing that Chris Paul will most likely stay with the Clippers) and the teams measuring their interest in the big man revolve around Los Angeles, Houston, and Dallas. Only the Lakers though can offer him their franchise max contract of five years with $118 million dollars along with their history of storied big men and the tradition of winning no matter what. Houston can offer four years with $98 million dollars and their young up and coming star in James Harden. Dallas can offer Dwight the same as Houston. From a money point of view the Lakers are the clear-cut winners and from a historical point of view the Lakers also are clear winners; from a pure basketball point of view though Houston are clear winners as they only need a man like Dwight to contend in the West.

Dwight Howard received a lot of punishment from the media for leaving Orlando the way he did, is that bound to repeat?

Statistically Dwight Howard has been declining over, especially over the past season. Between 2008-2011 Dwight took his Magic team to one Final appearance and a 219-102 record; over the past two seasons with the Magic and Lakers he’s finished with a total 75-55 record. Wow. His offensive production has also dipped sharply; in 2011 he averaged 22.9 PPG, 14.1 RPG, and a 59% FG. In 2013 he was averaging 17.1 PPG, 12.4 RPG, while shooting %58 from the field. Dwight has clearly past his peak production and no team should commit such a large amount of their salary cap or build their team around a star who has already started dropping off. Of course..the Lakers are run by Jim Buss so that’s still possible.

Looking past the numbers it isn’t hard to see that Dwight just cannot handle the pressure of playing in L.A. Playing for the Lakers, especially to be the next franchise player, means you must live up to some huge names and live up to the Laker tradition of winning. The Lakers, since 1960, have sent 25 teams to the NBA Finals, won 11 championships, and have had our court graced by the likes of Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and Shaquille O’Neal. To top that all off the L.A Lakers have had four of the ten best basketball teams ever (’72, ’82, ’87, ’01), have been run by one of the greatest owners in history by Jerry Buss, and have been coached by the future Hall of Famer in Phil Jackson. If all that wasn’t hard enough to live up to as the next franchise player in Los Angeles, Dwight Howard would be filling the void of the greatest Laker of all time in Kobe Bryant. It’s sad to say that faced with any type of pressure a man like Dwight Howard who stands six foot and eleven inches shrinks back to a normal height.

Perhaps the self-proclaimed “Superman” isn’t so “super” anymore

No matter what the media is saying about the pending free agency of Dwight Howard and no matter what team does land the big man, it will be a question if the team wants to roll the dice on Howard or chooses to pass. Houston is the clear basketball choice for Howard as that team is young and ready to make an even bigger splash next season than they did this past season. A James Harden – Dwight Howard combo would be a mighty force to reckon with no matter who they face. As for my beloved Lakers please Jim Buss do not even approach the table and pick up the dice.

The New Wave – Tabletop PCs

This new category of PC can be hard to pin down. To some, these are all-in-one desktops, similar to the Apple iMac, but with the added ability to either fold down flat or detach their screens. To others, these are battery-powered megatablets, with screens measuring between 18 and 27 inches, but are otherwise similar to Windows 8 slates such as Microsoft’s Surface Pro. But, I think they’re an entirely different animal, with features of a personal computer, a piece of consumer electronics equipment, and even living-room furniture.

None of the early examples are quite ready for broad mainstream audiences yet, but of these, the 18-inch Dell XPS 18 is thin and light, and it’s the easiest to carry around, while the Lenovo Horizon is the most ambitious, with a giant 27-inch display, custom software interface, and a small collection of included accessories for tabletop gaming.

Michael Jackson‘s nephew Taj Jackson — Tito’s son — just revealed he was molested by a family member on his mom’s side when he was a kid … and says Michael personally consoled him after the incident.Taj dropped the bombshell on Twitter this morning during a tirade aimed at MJ accuser Wade Robson.During the tweet session, Taj claimed he’s in a unique position to judge Robson’s sexual abuse allegations because he knows what it’s like to have gone through such a traumatic experience.

“That is how I KNOW Wade is lying. Because I AM a survivor,” Taj tweeted. Followed by: “I was sexually abuse (sic). By [a family member] on my mom’s side of the family when I was a kid.”

As for Michael, Taj says MJ “was a support system for me and my mom” during his abuse ordeal … he even tweeted a picture of a note he says MJ wrote to his mother. The scrawl reads:

“Dee Dee please read this article about child molestation and please read it to Taj (and his siblings) … it brings out how even your own relatives can be molesters of children, even uncles or aunts molesting nephews or nieces. Please Read. Love MJ.”

And Taj makes it clear — he thinks Robson is LYING for CASH.

“What people will $ay and do for money and to $tay relevant is $ickening. De$perate times call for De$perate mea$ures. #Money.”

George Michael In Car Accident – Minor Cuts and Bruises

George Michael, 49, is being treated for ‘minor cuts and bruises’ sustained from a car accident inside a Range Rover on a motorway outside of London Thursday night.

A publicist for George Michael stated,

George Michael was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a traffic accident
yesterday evening. No third party was involved. We have no further comment at this time

It is still unclear whether George Michael himself or the driver of the vehicle in question was airlifted from the scene and taken to a hospital for further treatment.

An ambulance rep gave the following:

The man who we believe to be in his 40s sustained a head injury and following treatment, stabilization and immobilization by land and air ambulance crews, he was flown to hospital for further care.

The “Faith” singer has been involved in a few accidents in the past where he spent time in jail, and even had a major health scare where he lost consciousness from a deathly bout of pneumonia in 2011.

Thankfully, this time his accident was nothing too serious and he was the passenger and not a driver under the influence again.

And well, since this article is about George Michael (one of my favorite singers of all-time), it gives me the perfect excuse to play one of his tunes.

So, here is some classic “Careless Whisper” for your listening pleasure…

Scandal: 10 Reasons Why I Loved the Season Finale

Now, I know if you’re a Scandal fan, I don’t have to ask if you saw the Season Finale last night, “White Hats Back On”. Last night, Scandal delivered in so many ways and left us with a OMG..WTF?? cliffhanger that would undoubtedly keep us coming back for more in Season 3.

So let’s hit on some key characters and WOW moments from last night’s Season Finale.

1) Billy Chambers – We should have learned from the classic soap operas, that if we don’t see a dead body, then we we can never assume that the character is ‘really most sincerely dead‘. So, Billy Chambers came ready to inflict some comeuppance on the people who ‘destroyed’ his life and turned him into a murderer (so he says). And he’s partnered up with Mr. White Hat himself, David Rosen?? Can’t be! I really can’t deal with this betrayal from David. More on that Later…

2) Quinn – Wow, we have baby Huck on our heads now. While Huck is recuperating and transitioning away from his torturing days, here comes Quinn to pick up right where he left off. Of course this sent Huck right back into his little scary “752” corner. Not good.

3) Governor Reston – I guess he’s still mad that he scandalously lost the election 4 years ago. The Governor has gone so far as to join forces with the murdering and undead Billy Chambers in attempts to blackmail President Grant so that he can be on the ticket for the next election. Power is one helluva drug.

4) Jake – I just don’t know how to feel about this guy. A part of me loves this character because he has become so devoted to Olivia, but I also despise him a little because he is a serious threat to my Olitz. I’m so confused and conflicted. Damn you, Shonda!!! Anyways, as expected, he saves Olivia’s life (again) while putting his own life on the line and putting himself into that tiny hole of torture. Just find a happy place, Jake.

5) Mellie – Girlfriend is the true definition of a woman scorned and I can sympathized with her desire to win here, but the biggest problem most of us have with her plight is that she doesn’t love Fitz; She only loves the power that comes with him and just winning. Yet, I must give props to Bellamy Young who plays this character to the tee. You just love to hate her.

6) President Grant – Oh man, I was feeling me some Fitz last night. Taking ownership and control of the Defiance group who got him in this mess to begin with, putting Mellie in her place, and never wavering from his decision of choosing Olivia to become his First Lady. His speech to Mellie while in the hospital was deliciously good. But really Fitz, putting your head in Mellie’s lap ever so gently and humbly?? I can’t drink this Kool-Aid for one second. Nope.

7) Cyrus Beene – I’m telling you, Jeff Perry needs a nomination for his acting on this show. The escalation of earnest and desperation which ultimately leads to Cyrus’ heart attack was acted so perfectly! No surprise that even with a failed heart, he is still gunning full-steam ahead. Cyrus just doesn’t stop until the job gets done because he is ‘the only grownup in the room.’ But, I was relieved that he didn’t betray his friends, except for that sex-tape part and the ‘your boyfriend is a murderer‘ part. Not cool, Cy. Not cool.

8) David Rosen – This one had my head tripping from last week when we saw him exchange evil trade-offs with Billy Chambers and last night, we continued to see how he was playing Olivia Pope and her associates to gain access to the Cytron card. But, I should have known better. David Rosen stays true to his character. He loves truth and justice and the reveal of how and why he was really in cahoots with Bill Chambers was so so satisfying. Now, my David is US Attorney and well-deserved my friend. Brilliant chess game. Just Brilliant. White hats all around!

9) Olivia Pope – What??? Fitz finally gives you everything you have been dreaming and hoping for and you give it all up. What??? I mean I know this had to happen to ensure more Olitz longing and fascination for next season, but it was still hard to witness, especially that Fitz on his knees and in Mellie’s lap thing. Yes, I’m still talking about it!! And now Olivia Pope’s face is going to be all over the news, tabloids, blogs, etc… I’m stressed just thinking about it.

10) Dad??? – Yesssss, I know most of us reacted with the the ‘Are you **** kidding me??, Huh??, OMG!!, What the h…?! You know, any variations of those reactions were fitting here. I did not see that coming. AT. ALL. So many questions now. Did Daddy Pope try to get her killed? Did he leak her name out to the press as the mistress? Does his daughter even know that he is in charge of B613? What is going on??

Overall, fantastic episode and once I think I have it all figured it, I realize that I don’t know what in the Olivia Pope’s name is going on!! Sigh, I love this show, and I can’t wait for more.

See you guys next season!!!
