Posted: 24 Nov 2011 09:05 AM PST

'Tis the season to be giving...and several celebrities have been donating their time and money to charitable Thanksgiving Day events all across the county.  See photos of Zoe Saldana, Blair Underwood, Young Money, Chris Bosh and others spreading holiday cheer inside....

In Los Angeles.....

Zoe Saldana was among the celebrties who participated in the 75th Anniversary Of Los Angeles Mission Serving Thanksgiving Dinner To The Homeless at the Los Angeles Mission.

She was joined by her almost identical sister Cisley Saldana.

A red haired Jennifer Love Hewitt and Kim Kardashian also participated.

And we want some of whatever Blair Underwood is serving.  Whatever it is....

 

In Miami.......

Chris and Adrienne Bosh's Team Tomorrow joined Chapman Partnership to serve Thanksgiving Meals to those in need too.  Adrienne didn't let her new baby bump keep her in the bed either.

Awww.

Adrienne looks really comfortable around these babies.  Prepping for her own basketball team I see...

 

Mike Epps, who just wrapped up filming the role of Satin in SPARKLE, hosted a Turkey Giveaway with the City of Detroit that fed over 400 families.

Mike said, “I wanted to make sure I gave back to the community while working here on Sparkle.”

And in New Orleans......

Lil Wayne, Birdman, Slim, Mack Maine, Lil Chuckee, Derick G and the rest of the Cash Money/Young Money family held their 17th annual (yes, they've been holding down this cause for 17 years) Thanksgiving Day Turkey Giveaway.

Weezy, Baby, Slim, and others came out to hand out hundreds of turkeys to the neighborhood.
 

Over in Oakland yesterday:

Golden State Warrior Star Dorell Wright and his D. Wright Way Foundation, stepped in to save the annual dinner for the city (which has been suffering severe cutbacks.)   Dorrell single handedly put on the event for his community:

Held at the Oakland Marriott City Center, the dinner fed over 2600 people and gave out over 2000 coats.

He also posed with City of Oakland Mayor Jean Quan.

 

NICE!  HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!

Ciara's In A Wheelchair! And Still Rolls To Thanksgiving Skate Party With Ludacris & Eudoxie, Polow, Toya & Memphitz, Big Boi, & More

Posted: 24 Nov 2011 08:11 AM PST

Oh no!  Ciara's now rocking two medical boots in a wheelchair.  Looks like she injured her feet and/or ankles.  That sucks.  But she ddn't let it stop her show.  CiCi rolled her way to Devyne Stephens' Roll Over Hunger: Celebrity & Charity Skate Jam in Atlanta last night. 

 

Pics of Luda & Eudoxie, Diamond, Toya & Memphitz, and more inside...

At the legendary Cascade skating rink, celebs got together for a cause.  DeVyne Stephens and his DeVyne Intervention Foundation raised thousands of dollars were raised to help feed Atlanta’s homeless. Funds for the evening benefited the Hosea Feed the Hungry Foundation Holiday Dinner Program; an annual program providing four major meal service events that support Atlanta's
homeless by serving over 200,000 hot meals each year.

Ciara made her way inside...in a wheelchair!  No confirmaion yet on her exact injuries and medical boots, but it doesn't look good. 

She still managed to make her way to event since there are poeple in need.  Charity efforts were especially needed this year as the foundation has continued to lose donations due to a struggling economy.

She was smiling as usual and posed with Ludacris and Eudoxie:

Nice.

Ludacris and girlfriend Eudoxie hit the purple carpet looking great.  Loves the grey ostritch bag.


Def a cute couple.

Eudoxie kicked it with Toya inside.

And Toya and her hubby Memphitz brought their daughters Reginae and Mikkya along.  Is Nae taller than her mama...who;s wearing heels?  They grow up so fast....

The Ampro Gel Spokescouple had some fun.

Cute.

DIamond went the pin-up route with the hair and makeup.  Just seemed odd with this outfit.

And Jazze Pha was there too.

Devyne Stephens and Polow Da Don hit the carpet.

Big Boi and wife Sherlita were there.

She looks GREAT.

Ha!

Looks like fun and fab times (for a cause) indeed.

Ludacris Schools Drake & Big Sean In "Bada Boom" Diss Track VIDEO

Posted: 24 Nov 2011 07:12 AM PST

Note to Drake and Big Sean: Do not f**ks with Chris "Ludacris" Bridges.  Luda dropped the video for his diss track "Bada Boom" and it's funny as hell.

 

Check it inside...

After both Drake and Big Sean did interviews accusing folks like Ludacris of stealing THEIR punchline flow (It's a parade...MACY'S!), Ludacris has decided to speak up.  Why?  Because THEY didn't create the flow and because Luda was already using the flow and versions of it throughout his 11 year career--while these two dudes were sharpening their pencils in middle school.

Drake told AllHipHop last year:

that flow has been killed by so many rappers. And, I never want to use that flow again in life. [Laughs] I wanted to take if off my album, because I was like, I shut 'em down. Onyx. I hate the fact that that rhyme is still in there. To be honest, that flow, you can trace it back to like…I trace it back to Big Sean (artist on Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music). That's the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I'll give him that credit. I think Kanye got it from him. Me and Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don't want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on "Forever." Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They're all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don't want to offend somebody…I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. [They go like] "It's a parade! MACY'S!"

At that point, you never want to use it.

So, Luda had to take the youngins to school.  Not only was Luda using the flow Drake THOUGHT he and Wayne created long before Drake wheeled his way on the scene, but plenty other rappers have used this flow for years--Cam'Ron, Method Man, B.I.G, Q-Tip, and even Big Sean's boss Kanye West. And on Luda's new mixtape 1.21 Gigawatts, he included a skit of him rapping the same flow...from when he was 12!

Sometimes you gotta silence folks who know not what they speak.  I'm not mad at that at all.

You rappers aint even in my f'in TAX BRACKET.....Get back in formation....y'all n*ggas out of line....

WOMP!
