Guess He Likes Skinny Jeans: New York Senator Eric Adams Wants To Ban Saggy Pants [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 30, 2010 at 1:29pm


Video After The Jump

His message probably won't go viral like an "American Idol" audition, but one Brooklyn politician is urging young people to keep their pants off the ground.

State Sen. Eric Adams will announce Sunday the posting of six giant billboards in Brooklyn targeting the saggy trend.

The billboards go up Monday.

"This whole sagging pants culture seems to have swept the city and the country," said Adams, a Democrat.

"Children will be children. But as adults, we need to be on record and tell them they're doing something wrong."

The 22-foot-tall billboards will be erected along heavily traveled streets, primarily in Crown Heights.

Adams said he used $2,000 in campaign funds to pay for the billboards.

Each billboard features two male models whose pants are hanging so low their underwear is showing.

The message: "Stop the Sag!" and "We are better than this!"

The stop-the-sag movement got a huge boost earlier this year when "American Idol" contestant Larry Platt auditioned for the show.

Clips of his original "Pants on the Ground" song, which urged people to pull up their pants, exploded on the Internet.

"I saw it," Adams said of the Platt video. "I thought it was funny. But when you look at it more closely, you see how big this matter is. When we sag like that, we're playing into it. We look like clowns."

Adams has never participated in the fashion trend, which he said began among prison inmates.

"On a practical level, how do they even walk?" he wondered.

The former NYPD captain and co-founder of 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care said he will send a letter to Schools Chancellor Joel Klein recommending a citywide dress code to prevent sagging in public schools.

Young men in Crown Heights were skeptical.

"It's more comfortable below the hip," said Saquan Spaulding, 19, sporting black jeans with black boxers held up with a studded belt. "It's good for [Adams] to try and change it, but I doubt it's going to happen."

Older people just don't get it, he said. "It's a young thing."

9 Teens Charged With Felony Counts Of Rape, Stalking, Civil Rights Violations After School & Cyber Bullying Leads To Girls Suicide

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 30, 2010 at 10:30am


Video After The Jump

It is not clear what some students at South Hadley High School expected to achieve by subjecting a freshman to the relentless taunting described by a prosecutor and classmates.

Certainly not her suicide. And certainly not the multiple felony indictments announced on Monday against several students at the Massachusetts school.

The prosecutor brought charges Monday against nine teenagers, saying their taunting and physical threats were beyond the pale and led the freshman, Phoebe Prince, to hang herself from a stairwell in January.

The charges were an unusually sharp legal response to the problem of adolescent bullying, which is increasingly conducted in cyberspace as well as in the schoolyard and has drawn growing concern from parents, educators and lawmakers.

In the uproar around the suicides of Ms. Prince, 15, and an 11-year-old boy subjected to harassment in nearby Springfield last year, the Massachusetts legislature stepped up work on an anti-bullying law that is now near passage. The law would require school staff members to report suspected incidents and principals to investigate them. It would also demand that schools teach about the dangers of bullying. Forty-one other states have anti-bullying laws of varying strength.

In the Prince case, two boys and four girls, ages 16 to 18, face a different mix of felony charges that include statutory rape, violation of civil rights with bodily injury, harassment, stalking and disturbing a school assembly. Three younger girls have been charged in juvenile court, Elizabeth D. Scheibel, the Northwestern district attorney, said at a news conference in Northampton, Mass.

Appearing with state and local police officials on Monday, Ms. Scheibel said that Ms. Prince’s suicide came after nearly three months of severe taunting and physical threats by a cluster of fellow students.

“The investigation revealed relentless activities directed toward Phoebe to make it impossible for her to stay at school,” Ms. Scheibel said. The conduct of those charged, she said, “far exceeded the limits of normal teenage relationship-related quarrels.”

It was particularly alarming, the district attorney said, that some teachers, administrators and other staff members at the school were aware of the harassment but did not stop it. “The actions or inactions of some adults at the school were troublesome,” Ms. Scheibel said, but did not violate any laws.

Christine Swelko, assistant superintendent for South Hadley Public Schools, said school officials planned to meet with the district attorney this week or next. “We will then review this evidence and particularly the new information which the district attorney’s office has but did not come to light within the investigation conducted by the school,” Ms. Swelko said in a statement.

Ms. Prince’s family had recently moved to the United States from a small town in Ireland, and she entered South Hadley last fall. The taunting started when she had a brief relationship with a popular senior boy; some students reportedly called her an “Irish slut,” knocked books out of her hands and sent her threatening text messages, day after day.

At South Hadley High School, which has about 700 students, most students and teachers refused on Monday to talk about the case. Students waited for parents in the pouring rain and a sports team ran by, with one student telling reporters, “Go away.”

Ashlee Dunn, a 16-year-old sophomore, said she had not known Ms. Prince personally but had heard stories spread about her in the hallways.

“She was new and she was from a different country, and she didn’t really know the school very well,” Ms. Dunn said. “I think that’s probably one reason why they chose Phoebe.”

On Jan. 14, the investigation found, students abused her in the school library, the lunchroom and the hallways and threw a canned drink at her as she walked home. Her sister found her hanging from a stairwell at home, still in her school clothes, at 4:30 p.m.

Some of the students plotted against Ms. Prince on the Internet, using social networking sites, but the main abuse was at school, the prosecutor said.

“The actions of these students were primarily conducted on school grounds during school hours and while school was in session,” Ms. Scheibel said.

Ms. Scheibel declined to provide details about the charges of statutory rape against two boys, but experts said those charges could mean that the boys had sex with Ms. Prince when she was under age.

Legal experts said they were not aware of other cases in which students faced serious criminal charges for harassing a fellow student, but added that the circumstances in this case appeared to be extreme and that juvenile charges were usually kept private.

Erykah Badu Explains Her Decision To Go Totally Nude In New Video "Window Seat". Singer Could Face Indecent Exposure Charges

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 30, 2010 at 8:00am


Video After The Jump

Dallas native Erykah Badu's new music video portrays her taking off her clothes and then dying near where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

The "guerilla-style" video for the song "Window Seat" was shot in one take as she stripped while walking in Dealey Plaza on March 17. Badu released the music video Saturday.

"I was petrified while shooting this video ... but liberation began to set in. I conquered many fears in that few moments," Badu posted on Twitter on Sunday.

Families can be seen in the background. Badu said on Twitter that she prayed the children who were there wouldn't be "traumatized."

The video begins with a 1963 radio broadcast describing Kennedy turning onto Elm Street. Badu is then shown in a parked car. Then she walks toward Elm Street while taking her clothes off.

Badu said on Twitter that she could hear people yelling things at her but she kept going. People were yelling things such as "This is a public place," "You ought to be ashamed," and "Put your clothes on," she said.

She said the people caught in the background were trying to ignore her as she shed the last of her clothing -- except for one man who grabbed her clothes.

In the video, she falls to the ground at the spot where Kennedy was shot.

The blood at the end of the video spells out "groupthink."

Groupthink is "the unwritten rule that states; I will not express my true opinion if it opposes those I love and fear. I volunteer to censor me," Badu wrote on Twitter.

Badu, a mother of three, said on Twitter that she told her children about her plans to film the video. Her 5-year-old daughter just asked for another serving of pudding. Her 12-year-old son said he would tell anyone who teased him about the video that his "mom is great" and "she was having fun."

"I immediately took myself less seriously," Badu posted.

The city of Dallas said in a statement that Badu's production company did not get permits or contact the city. Commercial film, video and photo shoots must be approved by the city. Guerilla videos are usually shot in one take because the crews know they would face arrest or penalties if they are caught, the city said.

Badu said she made sure to put money in the meter in case the police showed up.

"After last action, we ran like hell! lol," she posted on Twitter.

She said they didn't even take the time to look for the man who was picking up her clothes.

Dallas police said they do not plan on filing charges against Badu, who lives in Dallas. But the department said it would consider filing indecent exposure charges if witnesses came forward.

No one in Dealey Plaza at the time of the filming called police, Dallas police said Monday.

Badu's latest album, "New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh," will be released Tuesday.

Notorious B.I.G. Songs Get Remixed For New Mixtape DVD [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 30, 2010 at 6:30am


Video After The Jump

Mixtape DVD: "March 9: Video Remix Collection"

Headliners: The Notorious B.I.G., Ralph McDaniels and J.Period

Key Cameos: No guest stars, but you have to check for the blends. "Flava in Ya Ear" over the track from Jay-Z's "P.S.A." "Hypnotize" over the track from Eric B and Rakim's "Paid in Full." "One More Chance" over the instrumental from Mary Jane Girls' "All Night Long" and the Gap Band's "Outstanding."


Essential Info: Ralph McDaniels is hip-hop. He's been documenting the culture since the beginning. In the early '80s, McDaniels, then a college student, would tape footage of hip-hop godfathers like Grand Master Flash and Melle Mel, not because he had an outlet to put it on, but because he knew in his heart that the culture had to be recorded. Thirty years later, McDaniels can be considered an architect himself, with his New York-based video program "Video Music Box" becoming a staple in rap. It was the place where you could find all videos from new artists as well as the stars every day after school. Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan, BBD, KRS-One and countless others not only sent their videos in, they gave McDaniels interviews at a time when we didn't see much hip-hop on TV.

One of McDaniels' favorite subjects was the Notorious B.I.G. Uncle Ralph described Biggie as being very serious in the booth but a jokester that could rival the Kings of Comedy when he wasn't working. McDaniels also remembers Biggie as a "student of the game."

"I have footage of him at a Big Daddy Kane concert, and he was just in the crowd," McDaniels told Mixtape Daily. "He was a student of the game. He knew Kane was an MC from Brooklyn that came early. That told me a lot. He wasn't anybody yet; he was just a cat trying to get on. To be around a guy like that, hilarious. I would want to be a Junior M.A.F.I.A. member just to be down with that cat there."

McDaniels recently teamed with J.Period to salute Big Poppa with a collection of remix videos called "March 9: Video Remix Collection."

"This thing was kinda the next evolution of the March 9th remix project I started on the 10th anniversary of Big passing with my man G. Brown," Period explained. "I been speaking to Ralph for a minute — I love what he does; he likes what I do with the mixtapes — about finding a way to collabo. This seems like the best first step: Find somebody like Big, take the remixes and see what happens. When you set it to video, it takes it to life in a whole new way."

"I always like looking for something new, something different," McDaniels said. "I was familiar with J.Period's original CD mixtape. I was like, 'This is kinda dope.' That's when we started talking about it. So I'll take the visuals. Sometimes, the visuals don't match, because there might be edits and all kinds of things like that involved. I have to find something that fits for that particular scene. I have to use my imagination and think about the fans as well. What would they like to see? Because I'm a music-video person, I live for the visuals. ... We try to input some of these things in to the video mixes. Biggie don't have a lot of videos he did, maybe only like five or six videos he was in. So we had to get creative. Thankfully, the ones we put out, they were ones he had videos for. But there's some songs like 'Party and Bullsh--' that there were no videos for. But there's footage out there of him performing. That's the creative stuff we had to work on fitting it together."

Tila Tequila Goes Shopping In Lingerie. Pays Special Attention To Sausages & Melons [Must See Pics Inside]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 29, 2010 at 6:25pm


Who says Tila Tequila is a fame hungry attention addict? Certainly not RadarOnline.com!

We mean, who doesn't go shopping at the grocery store dressed in black frilly lingerie, bending over seductively and perusing the tabloids in the hope of a little photo op?

Tila was spotted Monday displaying behavior that can only be described as bizarre - even for her - shopping for groceries.

According to an onlooker the reality star repeatedly placed items on the floor so she could bend over seductively to pick them up. Before spending time checking out the various sausage meats - oh, this one just writes itself!

Playing on the pregnancy rumors (that have been started and perpetuated by Tila herself) at one point she placed a melon under her negligee, before checking out the baby balloons.

Guaranteeing an appearance in next week's tabs, Tila finished off her weekly shop by checking out this week's issues.

All in all just another day in the life of Tila Tequila - Let's face it, it's her world, we just live in it.

Erykah Badu's 'Window Seat' Joins Long List Of Naked Music Videos [Video Inside]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 29, 2010 at 6:00pm


Video After The Jump

Nudity and music videos — two great tastes that go great together. From Frankie Goes to Hollywood's raunchy "Relax" in 1983, to Madonna's S&M-fueled "Justify My Love" clip in 1990, artists have been pushing the envelope for years, while mostly letting the extras do the dirty work.

But in the revealing clip for "Window Seat," from Erykah Badu's New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh), the soul high priestess latches on to a lesser-followed path in altogether videos: the full-frontal artist reveal. Over the course of the nearly five-minute, one-take clip, Badu casually strips out of a black overcoat, purple hoodie, black pants, sheer white T-shirt and black underwear and bra as she walks toward the intersection in Dallas where President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. The guerrilla-style video was shot on St. Patrick's Day and Badu tweeted that it went off without a hitch, though she did get heckled by some parents for the stunt.

The intro to the clip pays homage to Matt And Kim's very similar 2009 video for "Lessons Learned," in which the duo strip as they walk through Times Square and Kim gets flattened by a bus at the end. Only in Badu's version, like Kennedy, she is taken out by an unseen assassin's bullet. Badu said she asked for the group's permission to remake their video before filming "Seat," and surely she's aware that music-video history is littered with acres of celebrity skin.

Blink-182 hustled down the streets wearing only their tats in their landmark 1999 "What's My Age Again?" clip, released a year after Alanis Morissette bared it all while doling out hugs to strangers during the "Thank U" video. D'Angelo nearly revealed his naughty bits (and way-chiseled abs) in 2000's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)." Robbie Williams stripped off his clothes (and his skin) to impress girls in the "Rock DJ" video that same year, and Britney Spears wore only some carefully placed sequins in her iconic "Toxic" clip while using her hands and some steam to cover up in 2008's "Womanizer."

More recently, Flaming Lips singer Wayne Coyne went full monty for "Watching the Planets." And who could forget Lady Gaga nearly showing us her bits in the intro to the epic "Telephone" video?

Flesh-N-Bone Of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Arrested On Domestic Violence & Firearms Charges

According to police, Flesh, born Stanley Howse, was arrested on previous warrants for Domestic Violence with a Firearm Specification and Felonious Assault with A Firearm.

Police restrained Flesh when he allegedly attempted to duck off the side of the stage and to evade capture.

Flesh was taken to the Cuyahoga County Jail.

The rapper was released from prison in June of 2009, after serving almost 10 years in prison for threatening a neighbor with explosives and an AK-47.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are preparing to release their newest album Uni5: The World's Enemy. April 27th.

Jamie Foxx & Affion Crockett Launching New Sketch Comedy Series For Fox TV

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 29, 2010 at 12:30pm


LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Almost two decades after his breakout stint on "In Living Color," Oscar winner Jamie Foxx is back at Fox with another sketch-comedy show.

The network has ordered a pilot for an untitled project executive produced by Foxx and two of his fellow "Color" writers, "MadTV" creators Fax Bahr and Adam Small, with "Wild 'N Out" alumnus Affion Crockett attached as one of the stars.

The pilot is the result of merging two projects. Foxx wanted to do a sketch-comedy series with an urban twist and paired with Bahr and Small to pitch the idea to Fox.

Separately, Sony TV-based production company Tantamount was working on a sketch-comedy project starring Crockett, probably best known for his spoofs of Russell Simmons, Kanye West, Chris Brown, Drake and Jay-Z. Crockett was to co-write the project with Carl Jones, a producer of Sony's animated comedy "The Boondocks," on which Jones voiced characters alongside Crockett and also served as a producer.

After hearing both pitches, Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly proposed marrying the projects.

Small, Bahr, Jones and Crockett are writing the show.

Foxx, who co-created, produced and starred in "The Jamie Foxx Show," had another sketch-comedy show with Bahr and Small in development last year at MTV.

Small and Bahr's series credits also include "Chocolate News" and "Blue Collar TV."

Crockett recently launched a Web comedy series with Simmons
