Monday Crackbacks - 8/14/06

Wassup, Y'all!

This week's crackbacks feature MTV2 being all kinds of polically incorrect with an animated episode featuring Snoop Dogg walking two southside shortys around on a leash, Christina Milian taking girlfriend snooping to 'Mission Impossible' levels and Miss Alicia Keys generating enough heat to start 'Smoking' in her upcoming movie...

Looks like our girl Vivica Fox has officially decended to C list celebrity status as she confirms that she'll be the 'movie star' on the upcoming revolution of ABC's ballroom dancing joint 'Dancing with the Stars'. You know about where your career is when you need to go on a show that like this and ol girl seems to be doing everything possible to remain relevant...

Now here I was thinking I'd about heard it all with respect to shortys snooping into a homeboys business to see if he's really on the up and up. Having shorty girlfriend operatives posted at choice locations, accidently finding last month's phone bill in the trash can while emptying the trash, etc. Now word reaches the basement that Christina Milian went all high-tech and hacked into (former) boyfriend Nick Cannon's T-Mobile account to confirm he had been 'texting' other shortys (Nick - see what happens when you chose those corny passwords like 'Nick1'? Dummy...). Seems that Christina also found out that Eastern Europe also needs a little diversity training...

I admit that Snoop Dogg's tacky a$$ started this ruckus in the first place by having two southside shortys who accompanied him to the 2003 VMA's on leashes, but now MTV2 has taken that nonsense to a whole new level with its 'Woofie Loves Snoop' episode of its Where My Dogs At? animated series which a "character dubbed Snoopathon Dogg Esquire walks into a pet store accompanied by two bikini-clad beauties on leashes. The women, both African-American, then get on all fours and scratch themselves. By the episode's end, the "bitches" defecate on the floor and a member of Snoopathon's posse is seen scooping up the excrement with a rubber glove." What?? Oh, I know someone's gettin' fired over that one...

Looks like a seriously dramatic turn for hot musical shorty Alicia Keys - check out the trailer to her upcoming flick 'Smoking Aces' over on C&D where she plays an assassin. This joint is looking hyper-violent but Alicia's lookin' good, y'all (no news there...) and you can't miss her in the clip - she's the one giving you the finger at the end...

Speaking of movies - the Outkast flick Idlewild is looking hot (and the soundtrack is sounding even hotter). I caught Andre 3000 on 106 & Park a few days back doing subliminal advertising for it by mentioning that the joint opens on August 25th about 32 times, but with a cast that features Terrence Howard (playing his typical permanent wearing, tough guy role...), Ving Rhames, Ben Vereen, Cicely Tyson, Patti LaBelle, and a bunch of young southside up and comers like Malinda Williams (Bird formerly of Showtime's Soul Food), I ain't hatin', y'all...

Peace@Least,

Tyrone
