Song of the Day
This one's dedicated to my lady. Hopefully it makes her day a little brighter :) "All That She Wants" by Ace of Base
Hypothetical of the Day
I'm going to do something new with these Hypotheticals of the Day. I'm going to actually start answering my own questions (duh!) lol! (Check the comments)
So if your life were to be made in to a movie, what kind of movie would it be?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I thought last season was the last season. I thought it was over. They even said it was the final season. It was the close of a chapter of my life lol! But FX just couldn't give it up. They just HAD to bring NIP/TUCK back for another season! I thought I had kicked the stuff, but it's back like cooked crack. I can't wait til the season kicks off in January. Now HBO needs to follow suit and bring back the Wire. Check the season commercial below. Hotness!
Some Music Videos For The Peoples
It's Friday so you know all I'm gon do for the most part is post a bunch of videos cuz I don't got time to look at the news and write about it. So I figured I'd start by tossin yall a few new music videos.
"Rehab"- Rihanna
I happen to be a pretty big fan of this song, but what I don't understand is why this song is JUST coming out. "Rehab" is on the same album as "Umbrella". Yeah. And I ain't talkin bout the "Reloaded" version either. Still hot tho and Rihanna lookin good as usual. This guy Justin Timberlake is showin up everywhere tho. Check below to see what I mean...
"Turnin Me On"- Keri Hilson feat. Lil Wayne
Keri Hilson has officially achieved "can't do no wrong" status to me lol! Only a few artists got that kinda pull in my mind. That's R. Kelly, Common, and Jay-Z. Now I add her to the list. And she's so fine lol! I'm gon need her to start touring.
It's the end of the week and that can only mean one thing. Famous Friday!!! Let's get it! Rosario Dawson
Anybody that knows me knows I love me Rosario Dawson. In fact, I think I might have featured her on Famous Friday already, but I'm not sure. It's been so many I lose track lol! But anyway, Rosario is that chick tho. Great actress ever since she was a youngin in Kids and bad ass La La in He Got Game to the pistol-totin dominatrix Gale in Sin City and the upcoming Sin City 2. Check her out.
Song of the Day
I've been stuck on this song for the past couple days. Kanye West "Coldest Winter"
***Sorry bout that other one. I got okey-doked like hell. Thanks for pointin that out Anonymous***
Hypothetical of the Day
Your brother blew through $1000 on some bullshit. Three days later he went to your mother to borrow $1000 because he couldn't pay his rent. Your mother lends your brother the money and as result she can't go on a vacation she had planned and consequently won't be leaving you with the house. How would you react?
I've been gone for a little bit but I'm back and the Black Box Daily is back in effect with a new Thiyow Thursday!!! You know what it is so let's get to it. Meet Ki Toy Johnson
Remember her? She's been hiatus for a while, but then again she was never really aspiring to be in the model game anyway. Her brother-in-law, Big Boi from Outkast, put her on in the "I Like the Way You Move" video and from there it was all love. All the niggas in the world was in love with her. The question was "who look better: Ki Toy or Melyssa Ford". Do yall remember that? I do. But then Ki Toy dropped off the face of the earth and Esther Baxter stole her shine. But Ki ain't hurtin tho. She got her business thing goin and got a family to hold down so it's all good. But for old times sake check her out.
WTF Moment of the Day
I was just cycling through my news in class and when I saw the headline on this shit I just broke out laughing. Check this out.
So a prisoner in Germany packed himself up in a cardboard box and mailed himself out of jail!
If that ain't the most outrageous shit ever. But get this, he's still on the run. They didn't even catch him. As dumb as that shit sounds, it actually worked lol! I swear this dude traded a couple cartons of cigarettes for an ACME Get Out of Jail Kit. I bet he tried to escape by strappin a rocket to his back first but he got hit with the Wiley Coyote status.
Man, I hope Katt Williams don't wind up bein the Amy Winehouse of comedy. I don't mean with the drugs and shit, but somebody with all the potential in the world just crackin under the pressure of the famous life. Friday, Katt Williams had somewhat of a meltdown and checked in to a mental hospital.
What is it these comedians really be going through man? I mean, Martin went que pollo loco and had a meltdown. Dave Chapelle got ghost over in Africa. Steve Harvey went through some shit and cut all his hair off. Now he more funny LOOKIN than he is funny. Then there's Chris Rock and the whole hooker thing...well, that prolly ain't got nothin to do with his career.
But anyway, Katt Williams is the latest comedian to be goin through some shit. He talkin that "the world is against me" talk and it's heartbreakin cuz Katt Williams is one of the funniest mf**kas in this universe. There's also word that he's gonna retire from standup at the end of the year. Say it ain't so Katt. I just hope whatever Katt Williams is going through, he can break through it and come out stronger after it cuz the world goin through some hard times and we need somebody to make us laugh to ease the hardship. Real talk.
Simon Cowell Made An Idol Wannabe Kill Herself???
I just read an article about a girl named Paula Goodspeed that killed herself after Simon Cowell let in to her ass after her audition. He mainly dissed cuz she wore braces and made comments like "I don't think a person can sing with that much metal in their mouth" and "how did she get through the metal detectors?" Yeah, the comments are f**ked up but that's entertainment. That's what we watch the show for. Atleast the first few weeks.
But anyway I just read this editorial about how the American Idol's cruel judges caused this woman to kill herself. Honestly, it's a tragedy that this girl killed herself and my heart goes out to her family, but if she killed herself because of some shit the judges said then she obviously had some issues beforehand. I'm just sayin...
Quantum of Solace had the biggest opening of any Bond movie ever in history. I think it's because of the title. What in the hell is a "quantum of solace"? I don't know, but I sure wanna find out. I was gonna see it this weekend at the drive-in but the screen it was showing on was f**ked up. So I wound up seein Madagascar 2... It was my girl's idea lol! Still a good movie tho. That's why it's in number 2. I'm still gonna go check out this quantum of solace thing tho. Maybe this weekend?
Song of the Day
Kanye West "Heartless" is the song for today. I'm warmin up to the thought of this whole singing thing. But these hooks he got are killer. I been singin this hook all day and the beat is nasty too. I might just like "808s and Heartbreak" after all. Let me go ahead and download that joint real quick.
Hypothetical of the Day
When John McCain was a POW locked up in a itty bitty cell for a stretch, he built a house brick by brick in his mind to keep his sanity. If you were in the same situation, what would you do to keep your sanity?
You would think as much as Kanye West craves attention that him and the paparazzi would have a perfect relationship. But nope. Kanye been layin the smackdown on the paparazzi lately. First there's the incident at LAX that happened not too long ago, and now this situation he got over in London. The paparazzi tried to hit him up outside of a night club and it caused a commotion. He talked about it on his blog and I'll take his word over the media's any day. But Kanye is not feelin the paparazzi right now and is even down for the idea of makin a law to protect stars from the paparazzi.
Didn't see this one coming (take hint of the sarcasm), but over the weekend Wanda Sykes admitted she was gay at a gay rights rally in Las Vegas. She says that the passing of Prop 8 is what led to her coming out because she felt attacked. And honestly, she should feel attacked. That shit California pulled was f**ked up. It ain't cool to tell people who they can and can't marry. Who the hell gives them the right?!?! But I'll save that rant for another time.
I just took a look at Wanda Sykes' Wikipedia page tho and man they update that shit with expeditiousness lol! And I didn't know she was an AKA. Hmm...
Wuddup Peoples! Did ya miss me? Life got a little hectic at the end of the last week so I couldn't post any updates. Things are still busy, but I can set aside time for the peoples! With all that said tho, you know what time it is: Mocha Monday!!! Now let's get it! Meet Dee
She goes by one name so you'll be remissed to find a whole lot of Google searches on her. Dee is from the espectacular country of Puerto Rico and is a model...of sorts. She's a coughpornstarcough (lol!) and has been featured in a rack of movies. If you're in to the adult film scene then you've definitely seen her whether it be in black or white movies. So you may ask, "hey 5th Letter, what you doin knowin about her?" My response, "shut up and mind your business." Lol! Nah, but real talk, I'm a guy and I happen to appreciate adult entertainment from time to time. But yall can check out more of Dee at your local Starship or Insurrection.
Lunch Break News
This may be a new section I start called "Lunch Break News" where I lay out a few quick reads for you all at once. Kinda like the "Evening Wrap Up" with commentary.
Suge Knight, Get A F**king Job!!!
We all know times is hard for Suge Knight. Death Row is dead, he gettin his ass knocked out, his girl dipped on him. But now this nigga is suing Kanye West for a ring that got stolen 3 years ago. There's a whole long story behind it that you can read here. But damn, Suge, really? Is times really that hard dude? You makin yourself look bad right now. I'm just sayin...
The Obama Girls Goin On "Hannah Montana"
The Obama Family is about to be the first family of the world! Obama, bein the first black president, got clout out the ass on a world status. We got Michelle helpin designers sell out tacky ass dresses (I love me some Michelle Obama, but let's be real, she got some hideous shit in her closet). And now, even the little ones, Malia and Sasha, are about to get their shine by goin on Disney's "Hannah Montana". Right on for the Obama family! Read more about it here
How the F**k They Gon Pull THIS Off???
This is seriously news to me, but apparently they're making a movie of "Monopoly". Yeah you read that right. Universal is makin a movie of the Monopoly board game. How the hell do you write a script for that? Am I really going to sit through an hour and a half film about sports car, a dog, and a thimble vying to buy properties and build homes and hotels and receive the occasional 'get out of jail free' card? But that's just the half. Guess who's directing? Ridley Scott. Nuff said. But I wonder, who's gonna play the Banker? Read more about it
