It doesn’t seem like N.O.R.E.’s S.U.P.E.R.T.H.U.G. album will be born in 2011 but the mayor of LeFrak still has a few tricks to keep us entertained until the time comes.

Look, why anyone would even attempt to diss Ludacris is beyond me. His “stay off the T.I.P. of my d*ck” line from years back is still cold and just because buddy is getting money outside of rap nowadays doesn’t mean he isn’t down to put a rapper or two back in their place.

The Dallas Cowboys’ cheerleaders have always been semi-celebrities in their own right, but in these past few weeks they’ve become interesting subplots to games. First, Buffalo Bills wide receiver David Nelson scored his team’s lone touchdown (44-7, hoe!) only to sprint to the opposite side of the field to give his girlfriend/Dallas cheerleader Kelsi Reich the ball. And yesterday, Jason Witten truck sticked another as he was pushed out of bounds. Read the rest of this entry »

Diddy isn’t too high on a lot of people’s lists as far as favorite musicians/businessmen are concerned, but here’s one thing he does do well. In fact, he’s one of the all time greats at this certain quality. Talking cash money sh*t on wax is what the Ciroc Boy was put on this Earth for, even if it did get Tip nearly sent back to the clink.
