Apparently, not everything that Usher does revolves around dumping champagne on strippers while his wife recovers from near-death on an operating table in a third world country.
Hard to believe, I know.
You know damn well who Jeremih is, so stop playin’.
It’s been a bit of a wait, but the “Birthday Sex” singer has officially released the video for his second single off of his self-titled debut album. The track is called “Imma Star (Wherever You Are)” and the clip was directed by Marc Klasfeld, known for his work with Destiny’s Child and Jay-Z.
It’s pretty fantastic, actually. From the opening scene where he flashes his “ice” to the dog on a leash with one of those awful satellite dishes around it’s neck… Jeremih has turned the tables on the “blingy” hip hop videos we’ve grown so accustomed to. It’s refreshing to see someone making fun of themselves instead of the generic “in the club, dranks, bitches and bling” videos that are, frankly, “so 2000 and late”.
Check out the clip below…

‘Memba when Mayor Giuliani had the homeless arrested? Well, Bloomberg has his own way of cleaning up New York City’s streets… he’s shipping our homeless to other states, other countries even!
So far, 555 homeless families have left New York City, flights booked and paid for by the city. Where do the families go? To any family member that will take them, regardless of location. The program works by seeking out family members willing to foster their homeless relatives. Once an agreement is reached, a flight is booked, and bon voyage buddy!
This program meant to lower city expenses in regard to rehabilitation and shelter programs, could be a great opportunity for people to start their lives over, with the help and support of their families. I just hope the families that take in their homeless relatives are prepared for the responsibility, otherwise we may just be shipping our homeless off to be homeless in other cities.

Gentlemen start your engines!
According to scientists (which scientists I don’t know, but scientists nonetheless) are concluding that women are getting hotter thanks to evolution.
This whole study reads bizarrely sexist to me, but here goes:
I’ve heard it said before… attractive parents tend to conceive more female children, which was concluded by evolutionary psychologist, Satoshi Kanazawa. Well, this new study re-confirms this fact. Apparently, “attractive” women have around 16% more kids than “less attractive” women. Of those 16% more offspring the majority are female, meaning more hot women in the making.
Unfortunately, all is not equal in the evolutionary beauty pageant. Men unlike women, the study found, are remaining constant in their attractiveness.
Are we doomed to be a society of super models and average looking dudes?

The soda powers that be over at Coca Cola want you to drink your milk… actually, they want you to drink THEIR milk.
They’ve recently launched a milk based brand of soft drinks that are part skim milk, part fruit flavored sodas. Vio comes in four milky-fruity flavor combos: Tropical Colada, Very Berry, Citrus Burst, and Peach Mango. While milk sodas have been popular for a while in Asia, Americans and Europeans have always seemed a bit skeeved out by the idea.
Check a bodega near you for Vio. Coke is currently testing out Vio in only in New York. Lucky us!
Milk Soda is it a Yes or a Pass?

Tobey Maguire is one of those celebrities that really doesn’t get into too much trouble. He’s cool because he’s Spiderman, but he’s also married, with two kids, a vegetarian and likes yoga… he’s just kind of a regular ole boring guy. As far as celebrities go, perhaps a little boring can be good, but it certainly doesn’t constitute a reality show, especially for said boring celebrities mother.
Wendy Maguire, Tobey’s mommy dearest, will be staring in a new reality show, called Growing Up Maguire, about how she works hard to shield her kids, Tobey of course, and his younger brother, who I’ve never heard of, Westen.
Uhh, Wendy, either you’ve done a really great job of shielding Tobey into normalness, or your family isn’t really all that interesting. But, you keep shielding, and I wish you the best with the nice folks at Nielsen.
I’m anticipating a show featuring the Maquire clan reading books, watching TV, eating cereal and being all around normal, but who knows they could totally be a Kardashian clan in the making.

Jerry Gray, a South Carolina woman who’s 15-year-old son weighs in at 555lbs was recently charged with neglect, and her son was taken away and put into foster care.
Gray claims that her only neglect is having to work two jobs to support the family, and not having the time to take more control of her son, Alexander‘s, diet. The state of South Carolina doesn’t quite see it that way, stating that the teenager’s weight is an extreme health risk, and by not taking measures to control his weight, his mother was endangering the welfare of a child.
Embedded video from <a href=”http://www.cnn.com/video” mce_href=”http://www.cnn.com/video”>CNN Video</a>
Social Services had stepped in before, providing health guidelines for the family to follow. Gray says she followed them when she was home, but that Alexander ate however he wanted when he was at school and when she was at work.

This is a pretty interesting case, one that could set some serious legal precedence. If parents can be arrested based on their childrens eating habits that will mean a whole slew of parents will be in danger of losing their children not only based on obesity, but on children suffering from the eating disorders anorexia and bulimia.
If there’s one thing a disordered eater needs – whether that disorder is overeating or under eating – well, that’s even more guilt associated with food. You can be sure watching your mother getting arrested because of your love of Ding-Dongs is going to create some pretty deep emotional scars.

What are your thoughts, should parents of overweight (or underweight) children be stripped of their parental rights?

I’m going to admit something now that I’ve never really admitted to anyone before, I have a wee lil crush on Warren Buffet. I can’t help it, he’s just so smart, and philanthropic, and political, and well, he’s loaded too. That certainly doesn’t hurt.
A former American Idol wannabe, Alexis Cohen, was hit and killed by a by a hit and run driver early this morning, at approximately 4AM, in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.
Witnesses called the police, and Cohen was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 6:35AM. Cohen was 25.
The buzz around Katie Holmes dancing on So You Think You Can Dance has been pretty overwhelming. I generally don’t give much thought to the Dawson’s Creek alumna, but heck, if someone’s going to shake their groove thang on national television, I’m game for a little ogling.
Let’s be honest here folks, Holmes’ voice was way over-produced, and as far as dancing goes, she pretty much walked around in tights.

I know she’s all about proving she’s still got it now that she’s married to Tom Cruise and has an adorable lil robot of baby of her own, but this did little to prove her artistic chops. Katie, why not start off with something simple, like a sitcom?
