The beautiful and talented actress Gabrielle Union stopped by the Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson yesterday (February 7).
The two chatted about her upcoming gig as host of the BET Honors On February 21. Gabrielle joked she took the job because "the check cleared."
She also talked about Black History Month, the do's and don't's of what to say to a "grown ass man", and why Rex Ryan's foot fetish grosses her out.

Well double damn! Hackers have singer T-Pain in a vendetta kind of mood, but is he self destructing instead?
Last June the singer said he wouldn't be releasing his new album 'RevolveR' until album sales picked up.
"I got the mastered version of my album in my car right now. But I'm not bringing my album out until these artists start selling records again, 'cause ain't nobody selling records unless you Susan Boyle," he told MTV News.
Those comments caused a bit of a backlash amongst some of his fans and others, so T-Pain took to his Twitter to vent his frustration and start leaking his own album.
Since nobody wants to respect this form of art that you all say we "love" so much, I'm just gonna go ahead and start leakin the album myself tonight. well maybe I shouldn't rant but everybody was lookin at me strange when I said I didn't wanna drop my album, it's not that album sales weren't doin good for hip hop and rnb, it just felt like no one respected "music" anymore. You know what, you guys enjoy the post game and I'll find my own ways to take care of my family. Oh and bty the "I Am T-Pain" Toy Microphone is comin in June (google that). To all the hackers and leakers thanks for showin interest in my music but I feel like I've been taken advantage of when I'm just tryin to let ppl know what's goin on with my music and then you audio highjack it for your own amusement I would have been happier if you would have just waited to get a better quality version of the song but it's cool its pretty much my fault anyways, so for the most part y'all can suck a fart out of a homeless mans ass. And to the fans, I know I talk a lot of shit but I'm a cool dude and I wanna say that without y'all and Tallahassee and Akon and Bu and the nappy headz and the team that I have now, I wouldn't be half the guy I am today so thank you as well. Here we go again YASIMELIKE
He then leaked 2 songs, "Seperated" and "Bes Luv Song" featuring Chris Brown.
Being mad is one thing, but giving away your hard work for free is another, and makes no sense at all.

It's a normal human tendency to try and remember the best things about a person after they pass away. That's why when truly great artists like Jimi Hendrix, 2Pac or Aaliyah pass away we place them on a pedestal.
James Dewitt Yancey aka Jay Dee or J. Dilla belongs in that category. Today would have marked his 37th birthday, he passed away age age 32 from thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, a rare blood disease.
He left behind a great body of work from music produced for Erykah Badu, Common, Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Raekwon and many more.
To his own solo work on "Love Japan", "The Shining", "Welcome To Detroit." And group efforts with Slum Village/J-88 and JayLib, a collaborative effort with Madlib.
Below is a documentary that was put together around the time Dilla died. Also peep some of my favorite songs produced by him.
What were some of yours and where do you rank Dilla amongst all producers dead or alive?
Created in 2006, this remembrance piece is created as a tribute to the memory and legacy of James "J.Dilla" Yancey. This is a piece designed for his fans and supporters who knew of his accomplishments before February 2006 and those that have grown to appreciate his genius. Here, we gain a greater insight and understanding about our musical icon.

Passengers on a recent flight into L.A.X. got a special treat when B.o.B. gave an impromptu performance of his hit song "Airplanes."
The Atlanta rapper is a six time nominee at the upcoming Grammys on February 13.
And no B.o.B. was copying Kanye West, who similarly rapped during a flight last year. He just happened to be flying Delta, the official airline for the 2011 Grammys, hence the promo.

Ellen Degeneres opened up a whole new world for Jennifer Aniston on her show last week when she introduced her to vibrating nipple pads.
Ellen had seen an ad for the vibrating bra inserts on a foreign infomercial and couldn't resist trying it out herself.
At one point Aniston asked, "am I being milked?"
Degeneres seemed a lot more comfortable wearing the device than did Aniston. Something tells me Ellen uses these at home, lol.

She's not the 1st, won't be the last and certainly wasn't the worst, but you can add Christina Aguilera to the National Anthem "wall of shame" for getting the words all mixed up.
She sang ‘‘What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last gleaming’’, which is the same line from earlier in the song but with the word ’watched’ instead of the word ’hailed’
She should have sang, ‘‘O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming."
She joins Carl Lewis, Roseanne Barr, Keri Hilson and others as entertainers that have butchered the National Anthem.
Congrats X-Tina!

Eminem's grabbing a slice of that Super Bowl commercial money.
This one is pretty funny because it's an ad about how he hates about doings ads.
He's peddling Lipton Brisk Iced Tea in this one, if anyone cares.

Wow, what a fight last night between Vitor Belfort and Anderson "The Spider" Silva.
Silva maintained his stranglehold on the middleweight division, defending his belt for the 8th time with a spectacular front kick knockout in the 1st round.
Belfort didn't seem to see the kick coming,
"He faked to the body and kicked to the head," Belfort said. "Anderson's a great fighter."
Actor Steven Seagal accompanied Silva to the ring and in a post-fight interview with Karyn Bryant was very vocal about having taught him the kick that won the fight.
"I couldn't have been happier because right before he walked out I said stay away from him for the first 2 or 3 minutes... just kind of get him frustrated and then fake low and come high and do that kick that I've been teaching you... and kick him to the head or the face. He did exactly what I said and exactly what I wanted to happen happened." Seagal said.
While I have no doubt Seagal has a relationship with Silva and probably trains with him, it's very unusual for a trainer to try to take credit for a victory like Seagal seemed to do.
Seagal went on to say it's a kick he learned 30-40 years ago in Japan and he's since been perfecting it.
Do you believe Silva learned that knockout kick from Steven Seagal?

With friends like Akon, Soulja Boy, Trav, Kevin Cossom, Bubbles, Amazin Amie and a bevy of beautiful women packed in the club, Sean Kingston had himself one hell of a 21st birthday party.
While the rest of the country is freezing, party goers at Club Play in Miami's South Beach enjoyed warm 80-degree weather last night (February 4).
Happy B-Day SK!

Luther Campbell aka Uncle Luke, the man that brought us songs like "Put Her In The Buck", "Me So Horney" and "The F*ck Shop" has announced he is going to run for Mayor of Miami-Dade County, Florida.
In an Interview with the Miami New Times, Campbell detailed why he wants to run.
I've thought about running for public office before, but someone would always end up talking me out of it, saying, "We have this good person here, he will do good for the community," so I always backed out. But I'd end up frustrated because they didn't do anything. I'd give them ideas and they would just tell me what they wanted to hear..
I get in my car, ride around Liberty City, and everything looks the same as when I was in the neighborhood growing up. I see the same crimes in the same areas. Officers and residents are still getting killed in the community I grew up in. I go to a city like Atlanta that has sensible affordable housing, and no one is being murdered. I go to Miami International Airport and see the same construction that has been going on for like a hundred years. All of that frustrates the hell out of me. Why aren't we getting it right in Miami-Dade? Why is our government only serving one set of people? That's what is pushing me to run
Even though all my stripper friends are gonna be mad at me, I think we can stimulate the economy with a tax on strippers. They make all this money and don't pay taxes. I'd take that cash and put it into a fund where it supports youth athletics for girls like cheerleading or softball. Or it can go to help pay for existing little girls programs that are struggling to get government assistance
.
Hmmm, would you vote for Uncle Luke?
