| Wait: We Thought Boris Kodjoe Wasn’t Worried About His New Show? Posted: 22 Oct 2010 04:15 PM PDT
Remember when Boris Kodjoe was talking all that “all my people are supporting my new show” stuff? Oh what a difference a week makes. He hasn’t admitted defeat or anything. But NBC is definitely on the fence about the fate of “Undercovers,” which finds Boris and Gugu Mbatha-Raw playing a pair of ex-CIA agents pulled back into the agency.
Ok. Now, which one do you guys think NBC cares about most: critical acclaim or commercial success? And Boris is letting the facade of success show some cracks. Just read between the lines of his tweets.

| ‘Snakes In The Pulpit’ Author Requests Judge To Order HIV And STD Testing For Bishop Eddie Long Posted: 22 Oct 2010 04:02 PM PDT
Forget about burning in hell… Reuben Armstrong, the Dallas based talk show host who made a formal request that Bishop Eddie Long step down amidst allegations of sexual coercion, is more concerned about the Bishop BURNING on Earth. In fact, he’s so concerned that he’s making another request. but this time it’s of the Judge hearing the case against Bishop Eddie Long. Armstrong has requested via a Certified Letter to DeKalb County State Court Judge Johnny Panos requesting that the court mandate certain medical tests due to the allegations that have been brought against Bishop Eddie Long. Bossip has seen the certified letter. In it, Armstrong is requesting that the Judge issue a court order for Bishop Eddie Long to submit to HIV, syphilis and hepatitis testing. While Armstrong stops short of accusing Bishop Long of having such diseases, he raises the possibility that if the allegations against Bishop Eddie Long are true, there may be a chance that Bishop Long exposed himself and others to such diseases. Armstrong even cites the case of another Atlanta Bishop — JD Husband, who molested and infected a young man with AIDS before they both died of complications from the disease. Here’s an excerpt from Armstrong’s letter to Judge Panos:
Armstrong goes on to cite statistics for rising incidents of HIV/STD in the black community, as well as to detail the case of Bishop JD Husband. Despite how it sounds, Armstrong says his motivations are pure.
Hey Reuben, can we get you to do something about Kat Stacks while you’re at it??? BTW, Armstrong hasn’t given up on trying to get Bishop Eddie Long out of the pulpit. He and Prophet H. Walker of North Carolina are calling for Bishop Eddie Long to STEP DOWN from the Pulpit There will be a rally at 2 pm on Oct 31, 2010 at the Georgia State Capital.

| After The NYC “Runaway” Premiere Rocsi Grabbed Yeezy By His Blouse And ________ Posted: 22 Oct 2010 03:07 PM PDT
If you’ve been wondering what all the fuss is about over Kanye West’s new short film “Runaway,” have no fear. Rocsi got to the bottom of it for the rest of us. Apparently Rocsi filmed a special interview with Yeezy that’s airing tomorrow:
Here’s a little more info about the film:
We didn’t realize Nicki Minaj was narrating the film! This sounds like it could actually be good. Speaking of G.O.O.D. Kanye had his NYC Premiere of “Runaway” last night. Check out lots of pictures below.
Ummm, hold up. Who. Is. This? Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. We hear this beautiful and braless young lady goes by the name of Nikki B, and she’s featured in the current issue of XXL Magazine alongside Kanye West and the ‘Rosewood’ family. Whatever that means. Hello Nikki B. Thank you for going sheer in front of the flash. Now back to the rest of the folks pictured at Yeezy’s premiere…

Well, obviously when Lisa Kerkorian allegedly eked out her geriatric husband’s very last seed and got knocked up 12 years ago, she knew what she was doing. According to TMZ, this broad just hit the motherload.
They tried to tell old boy it’s cheaper to keep her! And he didn’t even bother to make sure that the little girl – who was born when he was 79-years-old, mind you – is his kid. We would call it honorable, but that hundred racks makes us doubt his senility. And here’s the kicker. Lisa tried to have the old man snuffed out at one point in this custody case. Three years ago.
Wow! This chicks gangster is impressive!

| Are Willow Smith And Sesame Street Making A Difference In How Black Girls’ Beauty Is Perceived? Posted: 22 Oct 2010 02:15 PM PDT
NPR declared it “The Best Week Ever For Black Girls,” with “Sesame Street’s” ‘I Love My Hair’ skit grabbing headlines everywhere, and Willow Smith simultaneously holding court over pop culture with the debut of her “Whip My Hair” video. Both were worthy of celebration, signalling young girls to embrace being confident in who they are and how they look, but with so many other images out there sending mixed messages, we wondered if these are true signs of change, or just temporary fixes. Essence Magazine also recently released their “Hot Hair Issue” with Monica on the cover, which paid homage to black hairstyles, short, long, natural and “enhanced,” making us wonder how willing black women — adult black women in particular — are to stop making improvements. It also hasn’t escaped us that there are still other examples — for instance, Nene Leakes, going public with her plastic surgery details — that highlight how much black women continue to aspire to a certain standard of beauty. No matter how expensive it may be for our wallets and our psyches. In Nene’s case, she blamed her fast fixes on vanity, “I admit it; I’m vain.” But what was wrong with the nose God gave her? Was she inspired by magazine covers and the images on T.V. and in films? We thought we’d open the floor for discussion, to see how the Bossip readers feel about black beauty. Should we all be striving for a Naomi Campbell or Halle Berry standard? Does a woman have to be more confident in who she is to rock a natural style over a weave? Or at the end of the day is it all about what works for us as individuals? Do you think Willow Smith and “Sesame Street” are making the world easier for our children to grow up with broad noses and kinky hair? Is black beauty as a whole more appreciated now than ever? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Oprah‘s going out with a BANG, isn’t she! She snagged Lisa Marie Presley’s first (and she says only) interview about Michael Jackson since his passing. And Lisa made some interesting revelations. As she’s said before, Lisa reiterated that she and MJ were truly in a romantic relationship and that there was nothing fake about it. That doesn’t mean Mike didn’t use it to his advantage.

| Why U Can’t Make A Black Woman Happy Posted: 22 Oct 2010 01:29 PM PDT
A cartoon has hit the net parodying the issues people face dating in a Hip-Hop ridden society. Not too far from the truth, it takes a look at how Black women overlook good working Black men because they aren’t ballers. To the female character playing him because he’s not in the realm of Weezy and other Hip-Hop ballers, the gentlemen responds, “Lil Wayne has a lot of baby mamas, a bad drug problem and is in jail." When she says she wants a man like T.I. he says, "He’s on his way to jail," and tells her that Lebron James, "Hasn’t married his baby mama and has a commitment issue, ask the Cleveland Cavaliers."
