Hey World! Hope you had a great weekend...Welcome to Mandingo Monday...so you know it's only right that we share with you our "Hotties of the Week" :

We're gonna start it off a little differently than usual because we all feel it necessary && think that everyone should know that collectively...all of our main hottie of the week is singer Chris Brown...


&& NOOO we're not goupies...so don't get it twisted...We just support Chris to the fullest!



But anywho...individually our picks are:
Brittany's Hottie of the Week: R&B singer/dancer/actor Chris Brown

Bianca's Hottie of the Week: Rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em

Denisha's Hottie of the Week: Actor/Model Channing Tatum

Chakirah's Hottie of the Week: Rapper/Actor TI

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Poor Chris... =/


Now, we're sure almost everyone has heard about the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation that took place Sunday morning--the day of the 51st Grammy Awards--where R&B superstar Chris Brown allegedly physically hit his girlfriend, singer Rihanna. Now because of the fact that this story is CONSTANTLY changing, we're not gonna post an article on this incident until we find a completely accurate source, with all accurate information. [So if you've been under a rock && haven't heard about this incident...GOOGLE IT BABY lol] Na but here's a news clip that you can watch to catch up:










Nevertheless, the following statements are just our personal comments on what we think about the situation...Feel Free to comment on this post as well....&& really read this you guys...We all bring up some really interesting points....You don't have to agree with us...but at least hear us out...Thank you!

[NOTE: all of our comments are based on the information that we knew at the particular moment we wrote these; so as more details come, our opinions may change...so dont take this too personally folks]

Brittany's Comment: Well if you haven't heard the Chris/Rihanna story yet, you must be living under a rock. The story seems oh so very complex already! And though we don't have all of the facts, and we possibly may never have any of the facts, I do believe I have enough information on the story to make SOME judgments. First I want to say that I was always a little iffy about their relationship... Everyone knows that my passion is Public Relations, so I believed that this relationship would do Chris some damage from the start... it helped a little because it made him REALLY cross over into mainstream, and it also helped broaden his audience, HOWEVER, I feared that his younger die-hard fans would feel betrayed... But getting back to the story, I'm not going to comment about what happened because I really don't know, but I would say that I am going to continue to support Chris Brown through this. All of us make decisions that 3 seconds later we regret, some of those decisions are a result of this thing called a 'reflex'... if someone hits you, your initial reflex and instinct tell you to hit that person back. Now in no way am I condoning domestic violence or violence at all, especially a man hitting a woman, BUT, we're all imperfect human beings and it's usually reflex to hit someone back after they've hit you first! MALE OR FEMALE! But as a previous Rihanna fan, I am withdrawing my support from her, you can't just go around irritating people and then hitting them and trying to make them stay with you and expect them not to blow a fuse... I'm just saying! But I will put a disclaimer on here... if the word on the streets becomes that Chris is just crazy and hit her for no reason and all of this other stuff, then I may have to eat my words and withdrawal my support from him... but if the word on the streets continues to be like it is right now, I'm still going to support Chris... By the way! A word to Rihanna... let your yes mean yes and your no, no! You can't just go telling and identifying someone and in the hospital being ridiculous and then call them hours later to apologize after you've ruined their lives. Yeah I mean ruin!!!! Endorsements may possibly end, fans are leaving, parents (the true consumers because their paying for meet and greets and concert tickets and all things Chris Brown for their kids) not spending money, and constant press bashing. So Chris know that you have some supporters out here and next time don't go to an event by yourself, have someone there who can do some thinking FOR YOU, because if you were my pal, after the first hit, or the starts of yelling occurred, I would of tried to calm you down, or suggest that we get a ride from somewhere else...



Bianca's Comment: My girls in NYO and I have had many conference calls about our thoughts on things going down in the entertainment industry, but I never would've imagined we would be having a conversation about Chris Brown having the police after him and being under investigation for a domestic violence case dealing with Rihanna!! The worst I could've imagined that would happen to him is that a sex tape with her would leak, but never this. His actions seem completely out of character for him, so something must've really pissed him off for him to react like that. I just feel really bad that all the blame in the media is being put on him, and that it is being taken this far. I am listening to the radio as I'm writing this, and they are making lots of jokes about it, and calling him the next Ike Turner and all that. That's insane, I feel really bad! This is Chris Brown, the sweet, funny, R & B dude, just leave him alone! I'm sure he has a lot of things running through his head because we all know he didn't mean what he did. I hope Rihanna is okay, but I still don't think it's right she had to involve the police, I'm sorry. That takes things to a whole other level that is not necessary, because with their celebrity status, it would cause even more drama for them then they were already dealing with. I think everyone just needs to stop adding rumors and making critical comments about it all, because no one knows the WHOLE story about what went on between them and the feelings they felt but Rihanna and Chris. Of course that won't happen in this world, but in the end, I hope Chris will be able to bounce back and not let this affect him too personally, or in his career. You see how boring the Grammy's were without Chris there; we need him in the industry!



Denisha's Comment: My…my….my…where do I start with this whole ordeal? I guess first off I wanna mention how NYO has been big supporters of Chris Brown since day 1…&& have got the privilege and opportunity to work with him during our years in Star Wild Media [shout outs to Jeff! lol]…as part of his street team in New York and Michigan. So it’s only natural that we all feel some type of way about this situation because we ACTUALLY have been around to see Chris’s actions BOTH on && off camera…&& I must say…the actions that allegedly took place the other night, does NOT seem like the Brown we all know && luv...&& because of the fact that he has a mother who was a victim of domestic abuse, only makes us believe more that Chris’s actions weren’t done with malice…but rather because of a spontaneous reaction…[aka he probably just blacked out with anger && didn’t think about what he was doing…] which was stupid on his part…but he’s human && we all make mistakes…as for Rihanna…I’m not gonna say much about my personal opinion about the girl…but I will say that I had a feeling from the get-go…that somehow && someway…she was gonna mess up his focus n possibly even his career…but this thing right here?! DEFINITELY didn’t see this coming..&& I think I can speak on behalf of myself && NYO when I say that we’re definitely still in awe && disbelief over this whole matter…now I’m not condoning the fact that he hit her…cause without a doubt that’s completely wrong…&& no man should EVER put his hands on a woman...BUT Rihanna had to have done something to get him to that level of provocation…where he felt the need to…On another note…sources are now saying that there are statements from Rihanna’s people saying that she didn’t want Chris to get in trouble && that a friend was the one who called the police…but that’s kinda hard to believe considering the fact that if she REALLY didn’t want Chris to get in trouble over the situation…she could have stopped the person from calling …point blank…so that wasn’t a good excuse whatsoever…but at the end of the day…no one is going to be affected over this whole thing more than Chris Brown…he’s the one that’s going through the hot water…with bad publicity…&& outside people who are jumping to conclusions over this matter without knowing all the details…Chris now will forever n always have this incident on his record…PLUS…there’s a possibility that he loses endorsement deals…record sales…his good rep…&& most importantly…his fans….smh…I REALLY hope things work out for Chris Brown…but no matter what…NYO is definitely still here to support him && will continue to pray that things turn out for the better…KEEP UR HEAD UP CHRIS!



Chakirah's Comment: What Could Possibly Cause CHRIS BROWN to lose His temper enough to resort to Physical Violence????? . . that is the question that keeps running back and forth through my head. As you all may know the shocking story going on about R&B Star Chris Brown and the altercation taken place between him and Rihanna after the Clive Davis Grammy party. Still to this very moment I am still in DENIAL that this situation has even happened. My opinion on this whole ordeal is that there are always two sides a story & as of right now we only know Rihanna's side. There are all these allegations going around stating that CHRIS physically abused RIHANNA during an argument. Now in no shape or form do I agree to abuse NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCE MAY BE, but as a fan of Chris and having spent time around him before this person who allegedly made physical contact violently towards Rihanna seems to be so FAR FETCHED. I've known Chris to be charming and easy going on and off camera. Overall he just has a very good personality.This isn't even in his character to act out in rage like this. I'm just so CURIOUS as to what the argument could have been about that made things escalate to him hitting her. It doesn't even seem possible for Chris to take such a huge step and resort to placing his hands on Rihanna Especially after he himself knows the severity of a situation like this being that his Mother was a victim to Domestic Violence when he was younger. I would have never see something like this coming. Talk about EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. At the end of the day everyone makes mistakes. He is human just like everyone else it just so happens that his lifestyle is publicized. All i can say is that if the allegations are all true that Chris have a damn good reason for doing what he did because his CAREER is in major jeopardy. Chris your best bet would be to come out and speak to the public about the issue. I'm afraid that if he hides from the situation that things will only get WORSE. . KEEP Your Head Up Chris!! N.Y.O definitely got your back on this one.

Who Tol' You?! Wednesday!

Are you in the mood to laugh?? Well we hope so, because the videos for this week's "Who Tol' You?! Wednesday" should definately do the job.

This first video is of an up-and-coming superstar [&& we say that oh so sarcastically Lol] named T-Baby, from Detroit Michigan; and since our very own NYO member Brittany is from "The D", we want to CLEARLY state that not all Michiganians are as poorly dressed, ignorant-speakin' or, Chakirah's favorite word, autistic as what your about to see (so remember that). LOL. So here we present to you, The D's own, T Baby...with her hit song: "It's So Cold in the D"...





WHO TOL HER that she could be a rapper ladies and gentlemen? For more than half of the song she was COMPLETELY off beat! Lmao. I think that's the funniest part--or maybe it's her orange T-Baby braids...na actually it's definately the fact that she doesnt know whether she's hot or cold...naaa i got it..it's her background dancers--matter of fact, ya'll get the point haha..gotta love that T-Baby!

Now this next video is of a homeless crackhead who calls himself J-Slash and he apparently is or was a rapper sometime in his life. But in this video, a couple of guys who must've know him from the area, bumped into him near Wendy's, and got him to perform three of his original songs for them...for only 2 DOLLARS!! lmao...aw man..But viewers, you guys && gals HAVE to watch this one. This Notorious B.U.M is one funny dude..."and if ya dont know, now ya know!" LoL






LMAO! aww man...WHO TOL' HIM!! hahaha "I throw my money on the flo'". This YouTube is definately a personal favorite of ours. You Go Notorious B.U.M!


These next video is of a funnnnny funnny girl named Amanda, who we found on YouTube, and she does a hilariousss impersonation of Rihanna. She does "the Rihanna" so good that she actually makes you believe that Rihanna really acts that way [no comment about that one lmaoo]...but HYPOTHETICALLY if the "Bajan Princess" really does act that way...then we definately are giving her a WHO TOL' YOU?! haha...Check it out for yourself yo lolol






HAHA...check out more of her videos at youtube.com/beyoncesis2006


So WHO TOL' Beyonce to sing Etta James' song "At Last" at the Obama Inaugaration Ball??



Well, apparently, thats the same question that Ms. James would like to be answered. According to one of our sources, Etta James wasnt too happy about the multi-grammy award winning singer performing her song at the Inaugural Ball. Supposedly, Etta expressed how she felt about this whole ordeal, a couple of nights ago, at her concert in Seattle. She told the crowd:



"You know, YOUR President, the one with the big ears-he ain’t MY President–had that woman singing for him at his Inauguration. She’s going to get her ass whooped..."



"She went on asking “How dare Beyonce sing MY song that I been singing forever. Now I’m going to sing it for y’all….”


Look out now Beyonce! Lol


Now Miss Vivica...




Vivica..Vivica..VI-VI-CAAAA!! What are you doin?? WHOOOO TOL' YOU to wear that outfit, with that makeup, and that hair?! Blue weave streaks? Come on now..SMH..Chakirah says: "That's what happens when you date a gorilla" LMFAO! aww man...Downhill from here

------------------------------------------------------------------------


Now on the flip side of things...looks like the Bow Wow and Soulja Boy feud is continuing...

Firstly, you all should know that I, Brittany, had to stop my busy day just to write this blog because its becoming a bit interesting, borderline too much!! So Bow makes a response blog and continuously calls Soulja Boy aka DeAndre CORTEZ Way, the wrong name... (now come on now). But anywho, besides calling him the wrong name, Bow Wow throws several punches at Soulja Boy such as "One Hit Wonder", "Lil Soulja Boy" and takes jabs at how his money "isn't long". Bow shows the papers but he didn't put an extreme zoom on the papers like Soulja Boy did so I am a LITTLE suspect, but thats just me. But like I said before, I hope that this doesn't turn too PERSONAL. Everyone knows that Bow Wow is a great actor, in my opinion the next Will Smith, however, both Soulja Boy fans and Bow Wow fans know that these guys can begin to get a little salty after a little bit, so lets just all hope this is just good fun or planned publicity... Hopefully one day soon you guys can see the real Shad Gregory Moss... In case you haven't already, view the response video below...




P.S. Who do you think will win the race?

Truth Hurts Tuesday! feat. Chris Brown, Rihanna, Bow Wow & more!

Hmm, so what's the latest gossip you ask? Well it's your lucky day because we have the latest info here for you on "Truth Hurts Tuesday".

So why not start off today's topic with the latest story of one of the most talked about celebrity couples today: Chris Brown and Rihanna aka "Chrianna" lol.

Has Chris Brown and Rihanna Broken Up?


Well, quite frankly, all four of us have our doubts about this recent rumor that has been circulating the web stating that the two singers have split up. According to various celebrity blog sites, reasons behind this so-called "break up" vary from money reasons--regarding the fact that Chris wasn't getting paid for accompanying Rihanna on her tour a couple of month back, and she's getting paid for her appearances on his recent European tour [hmm]--to rumors stating that Rihanna was jealous that Chris was partying with girls during after parties. Sometimes pictures can be true or they could give people false perceptions about what's really going on.

Below are some pictures of Chris partying in different clubs in Europe. Tell us whether you think there's anything fishy going on in these pictures. I mean, would you get upset by these pics? lolol







I dont know, world. We'll see what happens, but we're almost 100% positive that Chrianna is still intact. Lol by Denisha
--------------------------------------------------------------------

WoOOooWWwwW! What's Going on Here?

So as most of us know, some of the weirdest celebrity pictures can be found online, while circulating the web. Here are some funny pics of some of today's most well-known celebs:

Neyo hunny. I know that there is most likely a logical explanation behind this picture of you with this wig, but you know how people talk, boy! lol. This photo was taken the other day at BBC London, where he performed one of his latest songs. Don't worry though Neyo. You're still one of my favorite artists lol

Now im sure a couple of you are wondering who this is. Well ladies and gentleman, it is the LGBT community's favorite shim: RuPaul! He was walking around NYC yesterday promoting his new "Drag Race" reality show. You Better Work!

SMH. I'm not even gonna have ya'll guess who the man behind this mask, sheet, cloth--whatever you want to call it--is. It's none other than the world's favorite wacko, Jacko--Michael Jackson that is. LoL. I don't know what's up with him lately but he needs to get it together.

oOOoHhwwEE! I'm sure EVERYONE recognizes this face. It's reality TV star, Ahmad "Real" Givens, from VHI's hit shows "I Love New York" and "Real Chance at Love". Aww man. I definitely didn't know that times were hard like this, before he got his teeth done. I mean, look how big of a difference the dental work made. SMH. That's amazing. Thank god for dentistry, because I'm pretty sure he would have never even been picked for the finalists in "I Love New York" if his teeth remained looking like before. LOL. You look good now though boy! by Denisha
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are 50 Cent and Rick Ross Feuding?

If you haven't heard, rappers 50 Cent and Rick Ross have been having beef about who knows what, but 50 Cent has recently taken this beef to another level and has been posting videos on his blog site: ThisIs50.com talking recklessly about Mr. Ross. He even got one of Rick Ross's baby mothers involved in this mess. SMH. Check out the videos below:








HmmMm. 50 just cant stay out of the beef world can he? lol by Denisha
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&& the Beef Goes On...

So speaking of feuds, has anyone heard about the recent "friendly feuding" going on between Bow Wow and Soulja Boy? Well, anyone who knows NYO knows that we're supporters of both Bow Wow and Soulja Boy. In fact we hope to work with them someday, but recently Soulja Boy challenged Bow Wow to a Lamborghini race.... well... lets just say, Bow Wow is already off to a bad start...Why you may ask? Because his car is allegedly RENTED! Now don't get me wrong, the economy is super bad right now, so if he rented I ain't mad at him!!

But anywho, check out the videos below:






Then the very controversial blog site MediaTakeOut displayed what they call "proof" to show that Bow Wow's Lambo was indeed rented. View article here.

So SouljaBoy makes a response video to this article about Bow's fake Lambo. Check it out:

p.s. LETS KEEP THIS A FRIENDLY LITTLE COMPETITION GUYS! Bow Wow and Soulja Boy are friends so... hopefully you guys keep it that way! by Brittany
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cam'ron Giles Makes a Comeback??

Looks like The Diplomat's own Killa Cam aka "King Jaffe Joe" is back on the scene! For those of you who may not know, Cam'ron has been laying low for a while. No one's really had a solid tab on his whereabouts since Jim Jones and my husband Juelz Santana cut off their ties with him, but I guess I'm glad to see that Cam's trying to do something with his life again. Lol.

Nevertheless, here's Cam'ron's new music video entitled "I Hate My Job". This is his first single off of his up-and-coming album "Crime Pays". Tell us what you think:
