Ummm Jay-Z: I'm NOT Impressed
Since we're talking videos, am I the only one that isn't impressed with Jigga's latest effort. I think he's the one that needs "two more months to get HIS thing together." I mean he samples a Wrecks N Effect beat and tells me to put my hands up and wave? Boo Jay-Z, Boo. Show me What You Got is NOT hot, so why is everyone acting like this is some of Jay's classic material. Even though this remixed version is a little better, I'm still not impresed. (ADULT LANGUAGE)
Jay-Z can do better, maybe he needs to listen to his Reasonable Doubt album for some inspiration.
I like the Wreck N Effect song better.

Random Thought of the Day: Pop Culture Halloween Costumes
For anyone who can't decide what they should be for Halloween, I've got a great idea for you. Guys: You can dress up as Flava Flav (all this requires is an obnoxious pimp suit, a big clock around your neck and some gold teeth) and Ladies, you can be Deelishis (all this requires is ten packs of black human hair and two pilows to enhance your behind). You'll be the talk of the party! And don't be mad you didn't think of that on your own....
Flava Flav's Tom Joyner Interview
Check out Flav on The Tom Joyner Morning Show from this a.m. Thx Carm! Flav has a seventh kid on the way (he claims he got a woman pregnant in Vegas between Flavor of Love 1 and Flavor of Love 2, but not by a Flavor of Love contestant) and he says he loves being single and that he won't be getting married any time soon. He did give Deelishis a shout out. Hmmmm...He also says his kids are upset that New York called them "Bastards" on the show! LOL

Throw Back Video: Your Mama's on Crack Rock
Am I the only person that remembers this song? This used to be the song when I was a kid. Check out the overalls with one strap hanging down. Yeah , I used to wear my Guess overalls like that back in the 8th grade. Quit fronting like you didn't used to sport those too. And remember Skidz and Used Jeans? Don't even get me started. Anyway, I used to watch this video at my grandma's house because they used to play it on The Box at least 50 times a day. Those were the good old days! [Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah LOL]
Drama on the Set of Grey's Anatomy
According to the National Enquirer:
Hot-head Isaiah Washington hurled a vicious gay slur at one of his co-stars during an on-set brawl – and the ugly explosion of hate is ripping apart TV’s number one show.
Last week, the ENQUIRER broke the blockbuster news that Isaiah, 43, choked Patrick Dempsey, 40, in an Oct. 9 fight on the set of “Grey’s Anatomy." And now we can reveal the secret behind the outrage.
At one point, Isaiah yelled, “I’m not your little faggot like (name deleted),” according to the source. Those who heard him were stunned.

Flav's Deelishis Update
Let me start by saying, I can't wait to see Deelishis (and Bootz) "mop the floor" with New York on this Sunday's reunion show!!!!
Looks like there could be a little Flav in the oven! Nah...She's just bloated. Deelishis was spotted at a Detroit Club recently and she's missing her man because she hasn't seen Flav in four months. Check out her interview with BET.com for the scoop.
BET.com: Congrats on your win! How are you feeling?
Deelishis: IÂm feeling great. I am involved with the greatest guy and his name is William Drayden! WeÂve been separated for four months. Contractually, we could not be seen in public together and that was hard. But I wrote a lot of letters, sent him pictures, and we talked on the phone. He was on his tour with Public Enemy and I did promos with King , so we had other things going on in our lives to keep us occupied. But now itÂs finally over. Today is the beginning of our courtship without 19 other women in the picture.
BET.com: Your feelings for Flav sound so genuine, yet many viewers canÂt picture you, or anybody for that matter, having real feelings for him.
Deelishis: My feelings are genuine, and I really donÂt care to explain it. People will hopefully see a wonderful outcome and eventually come to see it for themselves. ItÂs real.
BET.com: How did you feel when you heard Flav tell New York he loved her?
Deelishis: We recognized he loved her when he wanted her back on the show. HeÂs a person who is easy to love, so itÂs easy for him to love. When I heard him say that, I was confused. I thought it was the end, but they had history and that love may have been a respect thing.
BET.com: Did you feel bad for her when she lashed out at Flav?
Deelishis: No, she was a tad bit extra for me. I never witnessed a true moment for her until that moment. You would never see New York pull her weave behind her ear. That was the only time she was real. She was humiliated.
BET.com: Were you upset to find out that New York and Flav slept together?
Deelishis: During the Belize trip, yeah, I was upset because I thought my connection with him was crazy. But prior to that point, it was whatever. I wasnÂt sleeping with him, so maybe he just wanted to get his rocks off.
In the end, I won. And If he didnÂt pick me, I would have thought it was all for TV.

Let's Talk Project Runway! ULI is the Real Winner
Michael Knight: Hollyhoodbuzz PR Runner Up
Why is everyone hating on Michael Knight so hard?
I've checked out a few of my favorite blogs and PR fans are leaving crazy comments about how "disappointing" and "hideous" Michael's collection was.
I'm sorry, but I beg to differ. Do I think his collection was the best? No, it wasn't a winning collection, but I thought it was decent.
I was proud of him for making it to the final four and I would have paid my hard-earned money for several of those pieces. And it sounds like his girl, singer Brandy is a BIG fan!
Jeffrey Sebelia
Next, Jeffrey Sebelia should not have won. His collection is made specifically for anorexic, bulimic, superficial chicks in LA, which means most people in America wouldn't wear his designs to their own funerals.
The dress with the funky zipper was ok, but the jury's is still out regarding if he even sewed his own stuff or had some "outside" help.
Come on people, even thought they couldn't prove it on the show, you know he cheated!!!!
Uli: Hollyhoodbuzz PR WINNER
And finally, Uli had the best collection and she was ROBBED!!!
Her collection was beautiful, and celebrities are already hunting her down to have her design for them.
She could design circles around Jeffrey.
Laura
Laura's collection was so horrible, I won't even bother commenting further.

HollyhoodBuzz India.Arie Concert Update
As many of you know, I attended the India.Arie concert last Friday. Yes, I'm a huge India fan and love her music and her new album. So, as you can imagine, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to meet her during a VIP reception immediately before the concert. According to her "people" she wasn't "feeling well" and it showed. I was surprised that she was so tiny. But apparently she's still taller than me (with my heals on!) Well, India didn't talk much, but maybe she was saving her voice for the concert?! But then again, she didn't smile either.
Maybe she should listen to her own lyrics from her song There's Hope where she clearly states:
"There's hope
It doesn't cost a thing to smile
You don't have to pay to laugh
You better thank God for that"
After meeting her, I think it's safe to say she is an introvert. The concert was great and she really "turned it on" on stage and her voice is truly amazing. Just don't expect her to be as excited to meet you as you are to met her.

Is This XM Radio Ad Offensive?
Let me know what you think about this advertisement by XM radio. Watch the ad then read the article from Diversity Inc.com.
XM Radio ran a "gold tooth" ad on "60 Minutes" Sunday night—the latest in a string of multicultural missteps that have cost national corporations millions of dollars. Watch the video below:
The ad, which features a "gold-toothed" man and background music from black rapper Snoop Dogg at the very end, is dangerously reminiscent of the one that got Toyota in serious trouble not so long ago.
In 2001, Toyota Motor Co. faced harsh criticism for airing an ad featuring a black man with a gold tooth. At the time, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and his RAINBOW/Push Coalition publicly denounced the ad, claiming it was offensive to blacks, and threatened a national boycott on Toyota products. By 2002, the automaker formed a seven-member diversity advisory board to hold Toyota accountable for its diversity commitment.
It remains to be seen whether or not Jackson will take a position on XM's new ad campaign.
The recent ad is part of XM Radio's new multimedia marketing campaign, according to Orbitcast. The campaign, designed by XM's new ad agency, Lowe New York, uses the waves of the XM logo and music from Johnny Cash, The Circle Jerks, Beethoven, Snoop Dogg and other artists. The intent is to draw attention to XM's music offerings.

Flavor of Love's New York Gets Her Own Show
The New York Post is reporting:
October 16, 2006 -- RAPPER Flavor Flav may have dumped his sassy, out spoken date, New York, on last night's season finale of "Flavor of Love 2," but she'll be back soon - with her own VH1 show, "Flavorette."
New York, whose real name is Tiffany Patterson, 24, is in the final weeks of filming the over-the-top "Bachelorette"-style show in which 20 single guys try to win her heart.
"These guys are so dramatic," says Patterson. "They're worse than the women who were on season one and season two [of "Flavor of Love"]. This show is so chaotic, it's overboard, it's over-the-top, it's extreme and these guys know they're fighting for a wonderful woman so they've been at each other's throats and I'm flattered by it. I can't complain."
VH1 has not yet decided on an air date for the new show.
"I like it when the guys go at each other," she says. "I'm a prize, I'm so worth it - frankly, it turns me on."
She says the show is far along already and right now only three guys remain, and she's falling in love with one of them.
"There's one man in particular that I can definitely see myself living out the rest of my life with," she says.
