Monday Crackbacks - 07/31/06

Wassup, Y'all!

I've got more than a few lined up for y'all this week so if you're looking for a little distraction to start the bogus work week, peep no further than right here to see what haps have caught my interest over the last week. Included in this week's crackbacks include inside word on the next President to be featured in the upcoming season of 24 *and* why Vanessa Williams remains on basement radar...

Mo'Nique is still salty about her boot off a United Airlines flight while on her way to NYC to shoot a taping of 'The View'. Ol girl has gone all Jay-Z and is trying to stir up a southside boycott of the airline. In the basement, I'm hearing she's redirecting all United airline calls to 1-800-KISS-MY-BLACK-A$$...

Apologies to Christy Brinkley (my bad, homegirl) as her soon-to-be-ex husband reveals that he's a ho...

According to E!Online, the next President on 24 will be a familar face - one more than ready to replace outgoing weasel President Logan. Rumor is that they're trying to keep it all in the family...

How the rich get richer. Word has reached the basement that despite the fact that Beyonce and Jay-Z have about a billion between them, the design house started by B and Mama Tina is skimping on their payments. Word is that the House of Devon is the new House of Late Payments... And while I'm cracking back on B and Mama Tina, let me be the first to publically go on record by stating that the apple really does fall faaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr from the tree...

It's good to see my boy Dule Hill leaving the White House behind and bringing the noise in his new series 'Psych'. I always liked that brother...

Oh snap! Rumor is that Julia (Diahann Carroll) is bringing her nurse cap to Grey's Anatomy next season!! Okay, she probably won't be playing a nurse, but you can't blame a homey for having those biddy-bop flashbacks of the good ol day's when hospital nurses actually wore hot uniforms (yes, home skillets - there actually was a time when homeboys actually wanted to get sick or fly commercial...). Y'all know Diahann was wearing hers better than most...

Hold up! When did Shaq pull together a roast for Emmitt Smith? Where was my invite?? Jamie Foxx hosted this bad boy and it featured a couple moments that cracked me up. One was a graphic illustration of what happens when an unknown comic tries to crack on well known comics in attendance. The second one featured a northside comic living on borrowed time as he did some hard cracking on the southside nation (and lived to tell about it). Got to give it up to old boy - he had a LOT of heart to drop THAT routine in mixed company (Note: work alert!! Blue language ahead - suggest headphones or quiet office viewing...)

Break out the Cristal Krug - Steve Nash can *finally* stop doing that annoying two handed hair ear tuck thing!

Man - forget Israel and Lebanon - what's up with TO and Donovan yakking it up like a couple girls on the playground??

Just a last word on soccer (which still can't list me as a fan). Seems
the World Cup world-wide ratings numbers make the Superbowl ratings look similar to those for 'Girlfriends'...

Looks like my girl Vanessa L. Williams has found her way back to TV since the crash and burn of her previous series South Beach. 'Nessa will be in the new ABC series 'Ugly Betty' coming this fall. I'm betting she's not cast as Betty....

Finally - why is it some people can't take a joke? Just because it involves a thick link chain and a hand held circular saw doesn't mean it's not funny! Dang, ease up, homegirl!

Now get to work, y'all - especially you homeys at ExxonMobile. That next $10 billion isn't going to make itself this quarter!

Peace@Least,

Tyrone
