Video After The JumpDue to a recent increase in suicides by people who have been bullied for being gay, different or having their personal lives exposed over the internet. The media has started to shed more light on a huge problem that has been going on for years.
Popular but controversial blogger, Perez Hilton has just been exposed by Khloe Kardashian as being her personal tormentor.
Perez asked Khloe and other celebrities to make "It Gets Better" videos to help people who have been bullied.
Khloe took the opportunity to turn the tables on Perez for the years he has made her life hell. She let the world know just how much he has hurt her personally with name calling.
"For me, Perez has been my personal bully," Khloe says. "I've been bullied basically my entire life. I've been compared to my sisters since the day I was born. I don't look exactly like them, I'm different from them, I'm bigger than them, but I'm me," she continued. "I've always struggled with my height, with my weight, with my skin color. Everybody has something to say. And Perez is a major factor in my adult life. As an adult I thought that bullying would be done, but in my world it's not done because I live in a world where there's magazines and blogs and people feel like they're allowed to criticize me in the meanest way. Perez has given me the nickname of the transvestite, as the tranny. Writing fugly on my face [pics], things that are very hurtful to me. Then it also lets his followers think 'oh that's my name now' and they can call me that and they can attack me. Perez definitely has made my self esteem lower. at times. He's definitely made me feel insecure about things and made me not even want to gou out. Because I knew the next day, if I took one bad picture he would have something written about me on his website that definitely hurts my feelings
Perez is always quick to scream and cry foul when he feels he's been wronged, but then he turns around and treats people like dirt publicly.
Khloe hasn't been the only one he's picked on. Singer Lily Allen has also been one of his favorite targets, as well as Miley Cyrus. Perez was the one who posted the pic of Miley getting out of a car when it appeared like she wasn't wearing underwear.
He's made a promise to stop bullying people, and the "It Gets Better" campaign is a good start. Now let's see if he keeps his word or continues to be a hypocritical e-thug.

According to eccentric R&B star Erykah Badu, the sound you're hearing is most likely is "cornball a** music", and for the most part she is right.
Check out Erykah's take on today's hip hop, courtesy of RTNY.
"How y’all gone stand by and let our music turn into pop techno cornball ass music. We don’t own our music no more. Come to think of it, did we EVER own it? when I say own our music , I’m not talkin bout the artist I’m talkin bout the people … let me be quiet.

Video After The JumpKanye West was a guest on the Ellen Degeneres Show today.
Ye' talked about the aftermath that followed the Taylor SwiftVMA incident.
"Just for your whole world to completely crash, off of a moment of sincerity, alcohol or whatever it is." That comment made both Kanye and the audience laugh.
Ellen joked, "those don't really go together, usually the alcohol rules out the sincerity part."
He told Ellen he stopped recording music after the incident, moved to Japan to escape the paparazzi, before moving to Rome to clear his head. He explained that he hadn't had time to grieve his mom's passing and hadn't taken a break since he became successful.
After Rome, he moved to Hawaii and started recording his new album.
As far as crashing an award show's stage again, Ye said that will never happen.
"I feel in some ways like I'm a soldier of culture," Kanye said. "And I realize no one wants thatto be my job, and I'll never go on stage again. I'll never sit in an awards show again. But will I feel convicted about things that really meant stuff to culture, that constantly get ignored for years? I'm sorry I will. I cannot lie about it in order to sell records"
Before leaving, Ellen wanted to know what was up with Kanye's new diamond teeth.
"You took out your whole [bottom] row of teeth and put in that?" she asked.
"I just thought the diamonds were cooler," he told her.

Video After The JumpJust days after the dramatic, and some would say heroic actions of rapper T.I., who saved a suicidal man's life. The two got the chance to reunite on the Ryan Cameron Show.
T.I. recent sentencing to 11 months in prison for violating his probation was also a topic. Tip released a song featuring Chris Brown titled "Get Back Up." In the song T.I. talks about people who have been quick to turn their back on him.
"I think that I have been in a position to see just how quick people... the public will just throw you away," Tip tells Ryan. "They would rather see you suffer than to see you shine. And you can tell by the same people who praise you while you shining... The same ones who hold your hand up in the ring when you're winning, they gonna be the same ones slapping at me, pointing when you lose. And although my actions have been unacceptable, inexcusable. I don't see them as being unforgivable. And I think that I have been approached by the public... I'm not talking about the courts or anybody in legal. I'm talking by the public. I believe I have been approached in such a way that my actions are unforgivable. And I think that one bad move, one poor sense of judgement has discredited all of the good. Which I don't think is right. Especially when all of the people who are judging and pointing their finger at me are doing as bad, if not worse than me, without doing as much good as me."
The man who T.I. saved from jumping from the building, Joshua also spoke.
He talked about realizing now he needs to work through his legal issues and put the effort into doing that.

Nicki Minaj is proving to be a bit of a diva when it comes to her management.
The Young Money femcee is hiring her fourth manager in the last several months. Having previously parted ways with Debra Antney, Troy Carter and now Diddy.
Her new manager is industry veteran Benny Medina.
Below is a press release by Nicki according to several sources.
Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown breakout superstar NICKI MINAJ has decided to dismiss rap mogul, Sean “P diddy Combs” as her music manager and has recently signed a new deal with MEGA MANAGER, BENNY MEDINA, whose current and past clients include Multi Grammy Award winning recording artist, MARIAH CAREY, GWEN STEFANI, BRANDY, AND MORE.
Nicki’s Statement:
“By now, everyone should now that I am really strict when it comes to my representation. I had sympathy for Sean however I feel as if I haven’t gotten the guidance the manager is supposed to give his client. Personally, I feel like I’m being managed by mother. Even if you play the smallest role on my team, I wish to see progress. I’d like to thank him for everything he has done for me; for taking me under his wing. I wish him the best with repping Rick. But now that my album is about to drop, its time to get serious and stop playing games. If I could turn back time…I wouldn’t have made the decision to let Troy go."

Video After The JumpHaving a baby born on 08/08/08 would be really cool. Having your next baby on 09/09/09 would be cool, but a little strange. Having your third baby on 10/10/10 would make me downright nervous.Well that's exactly what happened to Chad and Barbie Soper, whose daughter Chloe was born August 8,2008, followed by son Cameron on September 9,2009 and now their daughter Cearra bor October 10,2010."I thought it was neat numbers, something fun for the kids on their driver’s license – oh, your birthday has rhyming numbers," Barbara told the Today Show. "When the third one came around and it did end up on 10/10/10, I was surprised and I was happy because then the little one wouldn’t be left out."
All three kids were born by c-section, leading some people to believe that this was some sort of weird plan by the family. But Barbara's doctor insists that's not the case.
"The initial plan was to wait until later as we did with the 2nd. But Barbie developed some vascular complications that required that we deliver earlier. That weekend became it." he said.
Hmmm..........
