Dear Kat Stacks, You're A Dumb Ass

 Kat Stacks might as well dig her own grave because she's acting as if she don't give a DAMN about her life. Here she is in yet another altercation, this time allegedly with Yung Mazi and his aunts, wanting her to apologize for her stupidity and for airing out all the rappers that she did (Young Money, etc). At the end of the video, she says she was lying about what she said about the men she exposed. I just don't get it. Then, like an idiot, she brags on Twitter about these videos. #hoesitdown

But why do I think this whole video was STAGED O_o. Could just be her attempt at keeping people on her tail.

Oh Hell No! Cop Involved In Sean Bell Shooting Sues For Bell's Estate

As if the tragic death of Sean Bell in 2006 on his wedding day wasn't enough, now one of the NYPD officers involved in the shooting is suing due to an "injury" as a result of that night. According to NYPost:

A cop involved in the fatal shooting of Sean Bell on his wedding day is now suing the dead man's estate -- claiming Bell drunkenly assaulted and badly injured him with a car right before the hail of police gunfire that brought the unarmed man down. 

Police Officer Michael Carey's lawsuit says Bell was boozed-up when he got behind the wheel of the car after his bachelor party on Nov. 25, 2006, and also claims the doomed groom failed to wear glasses or contact lenses despite having poor eyesight. 

Carey's allegations are contained in a Brooklyn federal counter-claim filed last week in response to a wrongful-death lawsuit being pursued by Bell's fiancée, Nicole Paultre Bell, against him and the other four cops involved. 

"[Officer Carey] suffered serious leg injury when [Bell] crashed into the vehicle he was riding in before Officer Carey ever drew his gun and fired a shot," said Carey's lawyer, Richard Signorelli.

Bell, 23, and his entourage were shot at 50 times by five officers, including Carey, after they left a strip joint, Club Kalua, in Jamaica, Queens.

And I'm also appauled at some of the comments left by visitors of the NYPost site:

I absolutely agree with Officer Carey's actions. The other cops were were aquitted should also file suit against the Bell estate.Maybe this lawsuit will stop that 'fiance' Nicole Paultre Bell from going around acting like she's Corretta Scott King.

Yes, bravo!!!!!. Good Luck officer Carey. It's about time cops sue these perpetrators. Cops in this city are constantly exposed to injury at the hands of perpetrators and the only option available to police officers is line of duty status and the subsequent line of duty compensation. Why should perpetrators and crime victims be the only ones allowed to sue and collect. If they (peerpetrators and crime victims) are allowed to sue, so should the police officers.

 I'm truly at a loss for words. R.I.P Sean Bell!

THIS OR THAT? Martin, Fresh Price Of Bel-Air, Jamie Foxx Show (Best Comedy Series)

Taking a break from the everyday entertainment posts, I pose this question. This has been a great debate for a long time -- which was/is the best BLACK comedy series of all time. Many people (like myself) think "Martin" was the best hands down. Others feel it was Will Smith's crazy ass in "Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" or Jamie's goofy self in "Jamie Foxx Show". I definitely have love for all these shows and know each episode of all 3 sitcoms like the back of my hand. But which would you say holds the CROWN?

Long Time, No See: Keyshia Cole

Another person I wasn't expecting to see last night at the 2010 BET Awards was Keyshia Cole. She's been pretty much M.I.A. since giving birth to her son 3 months ago. I was very excited to see her because I LOVE me some Keyshia Cole. Not only did she attend, but she performed "Airplanes" with artist B.O.B. and Eminem. Some people criticized her vocals during the performance but I think she sounded good. Yes, the bang she sported was a little excessive but leave it be. By her side was the love in her life, NBA Cleveland Cavalier's Daniel "Boobie" Gibson. Peep that rock on her hand.

HER PERFORMANCE AFTER THE BREAK! 

What They Wore @ 2010 BET Awards: Ciara, Nicki Minaj

When it's time for the awards, the celebs always put their best fashion foot forward -- well most of them. Check out these fashion choices from last night. Ciara looked amazin' and Nicki Minaj.....well I'll let you make your own opinions.

Ciara was definitely one of the best dressed last night at the awards. She stepped out in a Balmain Brocade Dress and Balmain Lace Up Leather Ankle Boots. The dress alone retails for a whopping $22,250 and her boots $1,495. Get it bxtch!!

Nicki Minaj, always one to draw all the attention, decided to rock an archival Ecru Tulle Rochas by Olivier Theyskens Gown from the Spring 2004 collection. She modified it from a lingerie bustier to a halter and added a large chandelier type necklace for more of a pop (as if it needed it). Not sure of the retail price on the gown, but it's safe to say it was probably on the pricey side. I love how Nicki does her own thing, but this look was NOT the business. That orange wig made her look more like Wilma Flinstone than anything. Thumbs down!!
 

In Case You Missed It: Chris Brown's Emotional MJ Tribute

 

 I have to say....the 2010 BET Awards was more than I expected it to be. I was pleasantly surprised with the MAJORITY of the show, from performances from Kanye West (who hasn't attended anything since last year's MTV Awards fiasco), Monica and even Keyshia Cole (who hasn't been seen since giving birth earlier this year). But Chris Brown's Michael Jackson tribute was the icing on the cake. I had no idea that he was even gonna be there. He performed with such grace and the dance moves were superb. When he got emotional at the end while attempting sing "Man In The Mirror", I was at a lose for words. I really believe the tears were a combination of the loss of Michael and also a reflection of everything that he's been through this past year with the whole Rihanna thing. Either way, it's something that people will be talking about for a long time. 

Rihanna Is So In Love

Rihanna and her baseball player boyfriend, Matt Kemp, were spotted showing some PDA at an AT&T store shopping for the new iPhone4 in Westwood (June 24). They seem to genuinely be happy with each other so more power to them.

Celebs On The Scene: Alicia Keys, Tia x Tamera Mowry, Brandy, LisaRaye,

Being pregnant isn't stopping Alicia Keys from doing what she does best -- performing. She performed on both ABC's "Good Morning America" and CBS' "The Early Show in NYC yesterday. She looked cute in her Alice & Olivia Kathryn Safari Jumpsuit ($368), showing off her baby bump.

My favorite twins, Tia and Tamera Mowry, attended "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" premiere during the 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival at the Nokia Theatre at LA Live in Los Angeles (June 25). I really wish Tia would have worn some different lipstick and done something different to her hair but they both always look cute.

Drake Lived Up To The Hype

 Despite a few naysayers, Drake lived up to the hype of his album Thank Me Later by opening at No. 1 on this week’s Billboard 200. While final numbers won’t be released until Wednesday, HITS Daily Double reports that Drizzy sold around 463,000 copies in his first week, just shy of gold status. He claims the third best debut of the year behind Sade (502,000) and Lady Antebellum (481,000), and also holds the biggest first week for a rapper since his mentor Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3, which moved 476,000 units in September.

Drake took to Twitter to thank his fans for making him No. 1. “Thank you for the support…thank you for the memories…thank me later,” he wrote.

Check out some flicks of Drake at the Bing Entertainment event last night in West Hollywood yesterday (June 22), where he also performed.

My Latest Graphic Design + Retouches

It's been a looong time since I posted some of my graphic work on my website. I branched more into the entertainment side of things on my site, and held off posting them.....but guess what, it's my damn blog and I do want I damn well please ;) Hope you like!!

This Nicki Minaj design I did one night when I was bored in the crib. What I like about her pictures is that it's always full of color and animated....that's why I post her pics a lot and decided to do this design.

I saw this Meagan Good pic on a website and loved how plain it was. So I decided to jazzy it up. I added some yellow eyeshadow, blue eye liner, eyelashed, brightened her eyes, changed her lip color, added a nose ring and brightened the picture.

I had this Beyonce pic in my stock folder on my pc and decided to retouch this as well. The picture didn't need much done so I just made her hair pop more, added concealer around her eyebrows, added yellow eyeshadow, ligtened her eyes, smoothed the skin and brightened the picture.

The Dream: "If Christina's Tired, Call The Nanny" (Say What?)

The Dream, who has been in the midst of rumors regarding his relationship with wife Christina Milian, recently spoke with Parlour Magazine to air out some things about his marriage and daughter Violet.

On being faithful to Christina:

The-Dream: The rumors are not true and it really boils my blood. Christina and I are cool. People keep asking, ‘Why haven’t we seen you guys out together?’ I’m working, that’s why you haven’t seen us. She’s at work too in Los Angeles. The women in the pictures are actually legitimate friends of mine. The photo with me in the car and another woman… she’s a good friend who’s at my house all the time. It’s sad, because [the blogs] have humiliated her. She feels bad, I feel bad and you don’t know what that [judgement] does to that person. Who takes responsibility for that? I understand freedom of speech but if I made my living spreading rumors about people, my family wouldn’t claim me.

On baby Violet:

Violet is great, I just saw her last night. She’s three months and one week old with a definite personality. I think she’s going to be a sassy talker. Right now, she’s just long, fat and looks like me. I know Christina hates it because she’s looking at the baby like ‘Where am I? I did all the work for nine months!’

On helping out with the baby:

I don’t because my “helping out” turns into expectations. I’ll get Violet on a late night maybe one or two times, but after that, no. If Christina’s tired, call the nanny, call Violet’s granny. We got people.

I'm sorry, but that was the dumbest thing I have heard in a long time. How are you gonna limit the number of times you spend with your child a week? Or say it turns into "expectations", that's what being a father is about idiot.

In Case You Missed It: Ron Artest's Victory "Hood" Speech

New Nicki Minaj Promo Pics + Kelly Rowland's New Single Covers (Fierce)

Rap-up got it's hand on some new promo pics for Nicki Minaj's upcoming album. She's on her "superwoman/samurai, hear me roar" type sh*t. These pictures I really like, minus the fire colored wig. Damn, I just realized I've OD'd on "Barbie" posts this week, oh well.

Kelly Rowland's new covers for her singles "Grown Woman" and "Rose Colored Glasses" are AMAZIN. The singles are from her third solo album due to be released later this year. I especially love the black & white cover. She's definitely on her diva ish. Hawt, hawt, hawt.
