TYLER PERRY FIRES STAFF AND FILES LAWSUIT
The Media Takeout site reports that actor-director Tyler Perry is rumored to be bringing legal action against the creator of a popular animated show that recently spoofed him.
The site says that Perry is seeking to prevent the re-airing the episode, titled, “Pause.”
In the episode, Huey and Riley’s grandfather decides to audition for a play put on by a “Winston Jerome.” In case there’s any doubt who McGruder is spoofing, the show opens with a scene from a “Winston Jerome” play in which he plays a sassy matriarch in a housedress and wig. The episode is kinda funny if you are into the Boondocks otherwise it's just ok for me. But check it out.

WHAT WILL $190,000 GET YOU: A GLOVE
Fans, bidders and curious passersby filled the auction area at Planet Hollywood for the nearly six hours of bidding on 251 lots of Jackson memorabilia.
But there was one item that everyone really came to see — one of Jackson’s signature Swarovski crystal-studded gloves.
After nearly 150 lots and much anticipation, the glove finally made its appearance.
At an auction in November in New York, a glove Jackson wore when performing his signature moonwalk for the first time at the “Motown 25” concert in 1983 sold for $420,000.
“I’ll start the bidding at $1 just so you all can say that you bid on Michael Jackson’s glove,” auctioneer Kathleen Guzman said as bidders raised their paddles in a frenzy.
Then the real bidding began. It started at $31,000 and rose to more than $100,000 within seconds. I wish I had money to waste like that.

THERE MAY REALLY BE AN IPAD ARCADE
The iCade cabinet perhaps had its humble beginnings in the form of an April Fool's joke, but it seems that the folks at Freekade took it seriously by coming up with this unique arcade cabinet that houses an actual Apple iPad within to offer slate gaming with old school controls to boot. It isn't exactly the finished form just yet by being in the prototype stage, which is why its exterior is rather boxy in terms of design although we're sure you wouldn't really mind when it comes to being enthralled by the games you play. Overall this may be cool but I still pass on the Ipad

Toy Story 3 did it again at the box office making $59,000,000 over the weekend. Tom Cruise had a disappointing weekend only making $20,000,000 at the box office.

MIKE VICK DOESN'T WANT THIS NUMBER ONE SPOT
Michael Vick has been out of prison for almost a year. He's publicly apologized for his role in a dog-fighting ring that landed him behind bars for 21 months. He's got an uncontroversial year on the football field behind him as a part-timer for the Philadelphia Eagles, who have picked up his option for another season.
Yet Vick's image rehab is moving along at a snail's pace. For the second year in a row he tops Forbes list of Most Disliked People in Sports, with 69% of those polled citing Vick as someone they "Dislike a lot," "Dislike," or "Dislike some" according to E-Poll Market Research. Right behind Vick in this year's poll: Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, a longtime maverick with a history of clashing with the NFL, coaches and politicians in northern and southern California over stadium deals that have led him to move the club twice. Also making the list is fellow renegade NFL owner Jerry Jones, who likes to run the Dallas Cowboys as more of a freestanding business than as part of a league.
Others making an appearance: baseball's steroid poster boys, Alex Rodriguez and Mark McGwire (McGwire's return to coaching this year made him eligible for the list), along with football wide receiver diva Terrell Owens and gun-wielding NBA star Gilbert Arenas.

DOCTOR INVENTS RAPE CONDOM
South African Dr. Sonnet Ehlers was on call one night four decades ago when a devastated rape victim walked in. Her eyes were lifeless; she was like a breathing corpse.
"She looked at me and said, 'If only I had teeth down there,'" recalled Ehlers, who was a 20-year-old medical researcher at the time. "I promised her I'd do something to help people like her one day."
Forty years later, Rape-aXe was born.
Ehlers is distributing the female condoms in the various South African cities where the World Cup soccer games are taking place.
The woman inserts the latex condom like a tampon. Jagged rows of teeth-like hooks line its inside and attach on a man's penis during penetration, Ehlers said.
Once it lodges, only a doctor can remove it -- a procedure Ehlers hopes will be done with authorities on standby to make an arrest.
"It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on," she said. "If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter... however, it doesn't break.
That does look like it hurts like hell, but why go around wearing that all the time? is it that bad in Africca. More at CNN.

BAKING SODA: USE IT FOR DAMN NEAR EVERYTHING
Here's an interesting helpful tip for all you guys in cyberspace. a bimch of ways to use average baking soda:
Personal Care
1. Make toothpaste
A paste made from baking soda and a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution can be used as an alternative to commercial non-fluoride toothpastes. (Or here’s a formula for a minty version.) You can also just dip your toothbrush with toothpaste into baking soda for an extra boost.
2. Freshen your mouth
Put one teaspoon in half a glass of water, swish, spit, and rinse. Odors are neutralized, not just covered up.
3. Soak oral appliance
Soak oral appliances (like retainers, mouthpieces, and dentures) in a solution of 2 teaspoons baking soda dissolved in a glass or small bowl of warm water. The baking soda loosens food particles and neutralizes odors to keep appliances fresh. You can also brush appliances clean using baking soda.
4. Use as a facial scrub and body exfoliant
Give yourself an invigorating facial and body scrub. Make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Rub in a gentle circular motion to exfoliate the skin. Rinse clean. This is gentle enough for daily use.
5. Skip harsh deodorant
Pat baking soda onto your underarms to neutralize body odor.
6. Use as an antacid
Baking soda is a safe and effective antacid to relieve heartburn, sour stomach, and/or acid indigestion. Refer to baking soda package for instructions.
7. Treat insect bites and itchy skin
For insect bites, make a paste out of baking soda and water, and apply as a salve onto affected skin. To ease the itch, shake some baking soda into your hand and rub it into damp skin after bath or shower.
8. Make a hand cleanser and softener
Skip harsh soaps and gently scrub away ground-in dirt and neutralize odors on hands with a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water or 3 parts baking soda with gentle liquid hand soap. Then rinse clean.
9. Help your hair
Vinegar is amazing for your hair, but baking soda has its place in the shower too. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda into your palm along with your favorite shampoo. Shampoo as usual and rinse thoroughly — baking soda helps remove the residue that styling products leave behind so your hair is cleaner and more manageable.
10. Clean brushes and combs
For lustrous hair with more shine, keep brushes and combs clean. Remove natural oil build-up and hair product residue by soaking combs and brushes in a solution of 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a small basin of warm water. Rinse and allow to dry.
11. Make a bath soak
Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to your bath to neutralize acids on the skin and help wash away oil and perspiration. It also makes your skin feel very soft. Or just focus on soothing your feet. Dissolve 3 tablespoons of baking soda in a tub of warm water and soak feet. Gently scrub.

PEREZ HILTON IN HOT WATER OVER MILEY CYRUS PHOTO
Gossip blogger Perez Hilton issued a warning to readers not to click for a photo of 17-year-old singer Miley Cyrus if they were “easily offended.”
The link was to an uncensored, up-the-skirt photograph of Cyrus stepping out of a car, seemingly without underwear.While it was one thing for media outlets to publish pics of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears partying without panties a few years ago, the situation involving Cyrus is quite different, given that she is still a minor.
The posting has consequently prompted many to question if the 32-year-old self-titled “Queen of Media” could face charges pertaining to the distribution of child pornography, and has led to one high-profile advertiser to drop its ads from the site.
Child pornography is defined under United States law as the visual depiction of minor children under the age of 18 engaging in sex acts. The definition also covers photographs or depictions of children’s genitalia, with a conviction on a state or federal level potentially resulting in a maximum 15 year imprisonment and a lifetime registration as a sex offender.

TOUCHDOWN JESUS HIT BY LIGHTNING
A six-story-tall statue of Jesus Christ with his arms raised along a highway was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm Monday night and burned to the ground, police said.
The "King of Kings" statue, one of southwest Ohio's most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati.
The lightning strike set the statue ablaze around 11:15 p.m., Monroe police dispatchers said.
The sculpture, 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained early Tuesday.
The fire spread from the statue to an adjacent amphitheater but was confined to the attic area, and no one was injured, police Chief Mark Neu said. The fire department would release a monetary damage estimate Tuesday, he said. Video after the jump.

ANOTHER KID WITH A SMOKING HABIT
Chinese toddler Ya Wen started downing pints and smoking up to a pack a day after being struck by a speeding van and spending five days in a coma, her parents told the Yangcheng Evening Post.
"She likes drinking," her mother, Gao Wen, said.
"Three glasses of beer is no problem to her."
Gao Wen said her daughter's personality changed dramatically and she started acting like an adult shortly after leaving the hospital.
First, she was busted hiding in the toilet smoking her dad's cigs. Then she began stealing them from a store - until the owner let her have them on credit.
"The first time I found her smoking was in the toilet," her mother said.
"Before that, I often saw cigarette butts in the toilet but thought they were my husband's, until I saw my daughter smoking there."
The store owner said he assumed the child was buying the butts for Dear Old Dad, adding that the child would take up to two packs away at a time.

TODAY IS FLAG DAY
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia adopted the Stars and Stripes as the national flag. According to the National Flag Day Foundation, Flag Day was born on June 14, 1885, after Bernard Cigrand, a 19-year-old teacher in Waubeka, Wisc., placed a flag on his desk and assigned essays on its significance. It took two presidents and an act of Congress, but years later Flag Day became official.
In the “crowning achievement” of Cigrand’s life, on May 30 1916, President Woodrow Wilson called for a day of observance for the flag. Then, in August 1949, President Truman signed off on the declaration from Congress, which officially marked June 14 as National Flag Day. While Cigrand died in 1932, he received his glory posthumously in 2004 when Congress voted unanimously to recognize Flag Day’s origins in Ozaukee County, Wisc.. Though the day is not a federal holiday, many cities hold Flag Day parades in honor of Old Glory.
Interesting side-note: According to The Boston Globe, before the colonists chose the official flag, they fought under whatever banner was on hand, “regimental flags, homemade insignia, green, blue, what-have-you.”

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS DUMBASS TEENAGER
Apparently Abby Sunderland and her dumbass parents though it would be a good idea for her to travel around the world in a boat by herself. But rescue teams are heading Friday to a remote area in the Indian Ocean to fetch athe stranded 16-year old California sailor girl who lost contact as she tried to circumnavigate the globe in her yacht.
Hey why don't you do normal teenaged stuff like get your drivers license or go to the movies and play on myspace. I hope they charge the parents for the cost of the rescue.

TRAGEDY HAS HIT THE WORLD CUP
Former South African President Nelson Mandela said he won't be able to attend the World Cup's opening match Friday due to the death of his great-granddaughter, casting a cloud over the event.
Mr. Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter, Zenani Mandela, was killed in a car accident shortly after midnight on the way home from a concert to mark the start of the global sporting event in Soweto. Her driver was arrested on drunk-driving charges and could face culpable homicide charges.
The 91-year old former president rarely makes public appearances anymore but was scheduled to attend the first match of the first World Cup to be hosted on the African continent. The opening game will take place Friday afternoon between South Africa and Mexico.
"It is sad for the entire nation and the world," President Jacob Zuma's government spokesman Vincent Magwenya said. "It is an important day in our history and the culmination of the enormous contribution Nelson Mandela made to South Africa."
Mr. Mandela has been credited with bringing the World Cup to South Africa and is to many the symbol of post-apartheid South Africa. When Joseph S. Blatter, president of soccer's governing body FIFA, announced in 2004 thatSouth Africa had been selected to host World Cup he described the former president as an "architect" of the coming tournament.
FIFA said that Mr. Blatter has written to Mr. Mandela to convey the condolences of "the entire football family."
In comments made earlier in the week, Mr. Mandela underscored the significance of sports, calling the World Cup more than a game.
"It symbolizes the power of football to bring people together from all over the world, regardless of language, the color of one's skin, political or religious persuasion," he said.
Sad cloud over a great sporting event.
