This is Jeffrey Daniel, a dancer and singer from the group Shalamar who helped Mike Jackson become the dancing machine we all grew to admire. Check it out:
We first worked with him in 1980, but he did not do the moonwalk publicly until 1983 [on Motown's 25th anniversary TV special]. And after he did it, he asked, "How was it?" And I said, "Why did you wait so long?" He said, "Well, it still didn't come out right." I'm like, Huh? This is the performance that totally blew everyone away — and he said something didn't come out right. Whatever was going on in his mind, we would never know it. We all know that it was a mind-blowing performance, and it just took him to another level.
Re-live that groundbreaking Motown 25 performance -- and take a look at Bill Bailey, THE original Moonwalker -- after the stretch.

This is crazy:
If this really went down the way this guy explains it, heads should really roll.
Of course, these are the police, so I wouldn't be surprised if a slap on the wrist is the only punishment administered. SMH.

I'm pretty late on this one, but prepubescent reporter Damon Weaver finally got his opportunity to interview President Obama.
Check it out after the stretch.

I don't know how well the Youngblood understood Barry's answers to his über-scripted queries, but the experience itself was surely priceless. Nothing too hard-hitting, but a good interview nonetheless.
Good job, young man.

Meet Biggie Smalls, Jr. & Lil' Diddy after the stretch.
STRETCH...
On what Puff's son doesn't look EXACTLY like him?!? BIG's boy has his daddy's demeanor all day -- just super laid-back.
That's so crazy to me. It's like a real-life "Sky's the Limit" and shit.
But regardless of how much they look and act like their Daddies, I still don't think it's a good idea for them to follow their famous fathers onto the microphone. Sounds like a recipe for ridicule.

NEW YORK — Few if any of the deals retailers have offered online during the recession have been as good as Best Buy Inc.'s sale price of $9.99 on a 52-inch TV Wednesday. But it quickly turned out the offer was too good to be true.
The electronics retailer said it will not honor the $9.99 price posted Wednesday morning on its Web site for a 52-inch Samsung flat-screen TV. By early afternoon, the TV was listed at $1,799.99, almost half off the original $3,399.99 price.
Bloggers and Twitterers lit up the Internet with posts about the offer, some insisting Best Buy must honor it, others making jokes.
Best Buy, based in Richfield, Minn., said it has corrected an online pricing error and will not honor the incorrect price. Orders made Wednesday morning at the incorrect price will be canceled and customers will receive refunds, the company said.
Best Buy did not immediately return a call for additional comment.
I see some "false advertisement" suits looming. Don't know if there's an actual case for 'em, but please believe they're coming.

Watch this first:
What did that just look like? An angry, belligerent Black woman being forcibly removed from the Town Hall meeting, right?
You're probably thinking, "Awww shit -- he we go again making ourselves look crazy in front of white folks."
That seems to be what the national news wanted you to believe, as none of the reports that I've seen on this incident -- which took place at Sen. Claire McCaskill's Health Care Town Hall in Hillsboro, MO -- ever explained why this woman was being removed.
See what really happened after the stretch.
STRETCH...
First they show the woman screaming at other audience members, then they cut to a shot of her being removed. Judging by their coverage, you'd never think this woman -- Maxine Johnson of St. Louis -- was provoked by some (probably racist) assholes in the crowd. Peep:
And what was on the signs that allegedly sparked all this drama? Had to be some type of hate speech, right?
Nah, it was a poster bearing the image of Rosa Parks and the words, "First Lady of Civil Rights."
Civil rights?!? How dare this woman come in this public forum with that civil rights shit? Doesn't she know where the fuck she is??
I made that quote up, but it probably matches much of the sentiment that afternoon. I mean, the demographics in Hillsboro (95.46% white, 2.03% Black) do leave room for some very primitive thinking as it concerns race.
Miss Johnson appeared on CNN this morning and stated that she has no ill feelings towards Senator McCaskill, but pointed out that while people were outraged over her Rosa Parks poster, nobody seemed to mind the anti-Obama signs with overt racial slurs she alleges were scattered around the meeting.
Post-racial my ass. SMH.

I’m extremely open with my sexuality. I can be in love with a woman, I can be in love with a man.
Yeah, she put her hand on my butt to take a picture, but who wouldn’t brag about that, it’s fucking Madonna!
If I see a woman and I think she’s beautiful and I like her, and she likes me back we can definitely try to be in a relationship together.
I just want to feel sexy today, I don’t want you. Men crack me up with that shit!
Yeah, they label me a bisexual freak stripper that fucks Kanye on a daily basis. [Laughs.] You know: “Amber Rose, the fucking bisexual, dyke, freak, whatever the fuck.”
I’m not into threesomes or orgies and shit like that. I have a raunchy mouth, but I’m so not into that stuff.
Kinda killed the mood with that last quote, huh?
Catch the short video of the shoot here, and catch the interview, in its entirety, here.

This petite lil' thing is Inés Sainz (sah-eenz), a 31-year-old sports reporter from Mexico.
I can't find much biographical info on her -- I found her MySpace page, but the shit's in Spanish, so... -- but I found a gang of pics. And that's what's most important, right?
I did find out that she was Miss Spain back in 1997 and rep'd for España in the Miss Universe pageant.
Other than that, all I know is that she's got one of those petite-yet-curvy frames that's built to be manhandled, and that she fux with the Brothas...
...Which means I might have a chance. Sweet.

T.O.: Hey, Inés. I got a scoop for you.
Inés: OK. (Walks over).
T.O.: Once you go black...
Inés: I've already been.
T.O.: Oh.
Inés: Yeah.
T.O.: My ankle doesn't hurt anymore. I'm 100 percent.
Inés: Sure.
She's "already been"? She needs to come see me so she can go back. Ya dig?
She dissed T.O., though. That's pretty funny. I kinda think dude is gay anyway.
I hate to see her leave, but I love to see her walk away.
