Andre Dirrell
In a new interview with Chris Robinson, Floyd said he began training Dirrell at the request of 50 Cent. He believes Dirrell has what it takes to be a world champion one day.
"I think I can get him to be world champion. I definitely believe that," Floyd Sr. said. "I think that he's got the qualities."
Floyd Sr. said he just needs to refine some of Dirrell's techniques.
"There's different things that I've got to enhance him on," Floyd Sr. explained. "His jab sometimes he doesn't throw it out long enough. The jab should be all the way out there. It seems like to me he's got a good right hand. I don't know about his hook, but the overall picture I think that he's a talented fighter. And I definitely think you're looking at the next world champion."

Miley Cyrus looks pretty hot in DJ Borgore's new music video titled "Decisions." So hot in fact, she has been made an offer by Sex.com to appear in an adult flick.
Miley stars in the video alongside Jessie Andrews, who was named Best Actress at this year's Adult Video News Awards for her role in "Portrait of a Call Girl."
In the video Miley kisses her fiance Liam Hemsworth. Sex.com wants to replace Liam with Jeesie for a "naughty" XXX version of this music video.
"We were floored at how sexy both her, and Porn star Jessie Andrews look together," writes the Media Director for Sex.com Martin Ellison, in a letter obtained by TMZ. "We aren't looking to make a boy/girl 'Hannah Does Montana' sex video here, but rather a softer 'girl on girl' version. Of course your client would be compensated extremely well to be nude and to have 'erotic' girl on girl relations."

Besides "Portrait of a Call Girl" Jessie has also starred in smut flicks like"Buffy the Vampire Slayer XXX - A Parody" "2 Chicks Same Time 10" and"Finger Lickin' Girlfriends."

Newspapers, blogs, the internet and social media have been having a field day with the beef between 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Could it all have been a big act?
As we previously reported, 50 and Floyd had a very public fallout on Twitter a couple of days ago. There were a lot of personal attacks in their war of words. This morning 50 took to Twitter to say that it was staged to get people talking about Floyd because no one was giving the boxing champion the attention he wanted after his recent release from jail.
Now the G-Unit boss has grown tired of the games and is not willing to participate in them anymore.
"I'm sick of all this nonsense Floyd asked me to act like were fighting cause no one was paying any attention after his 60 days," 50 wrote. "Domestic violence is very serious my apologies,my grand mother said we need to stop playing I'm done sorry. I know some of the things we do in hip hop for shock value are wrong. He just wanted some attention. Floyd is like a brother to me. I always tweet things for him like follow his fiancée and help promote him but one. I'm done with please don't ask me about it. He just called he mad I said something about domestic violence. He just want be in music. You ever hear him RAP? lol."
So there you have it. Now we can get back to the question everyone wants an answer to. Will there ever be a fight between Floyd and Manny Pacquiao?

Back in August we reported on an interview Kendrick Lamar gave to TruthIsScary.com. During the interview K. Dot said that people were puppets in the political scheme of things and he saw no reason to vote.
My vote counts? I don’t do no voting. I will keep it straight up real with you. I don’t believe in none of the sh*t that’s going on in the world,” Kendrick said at the time. “If you talk with me, you'll be talking to me for hours because everything has a contradiction, everything is higher rankings and way beyond us, way beyond people. So basically, do what you do, do good with your people and live your life because what’s going on isn’t really in our hands. If it's not in the president's hands then it's definitely not in yours. When I say the president can’t even control the world, then you definitely know there’s something else that's out there that's really pushing the buttons. They could do whatever they want to do. Been doing it for years, we all puppets. Just play your cards right.”
The Compton rapper seems to have had a change of heart in the last couple of months. In a new interview with MTV's "Celebs Get Political" series, the 25-year old defended President Obama and said people need to take matters into their own hands if they want to see positive changes.
"I think we tend to put it in the hands of higher politics instead of doing for ourselves," Kendrick told MTV. "What made the most angriest, when something don't go right in their world you get people out here that wanna blame Obama. And I think that's corny. I think that's one of our biggest failures as a community... as a generation. Not wanting to go out and do four ourselves and just sit back and wait. And then when it not happen we point the finger. I think we really need to take matters into our own hands. Uplift our own community. Put money back in our own community and show these kids out here something different."
