Worst Song on Radio Now: LOL :-)

No seriously, the song name is LOL :-) (smiley face).

Trey Songz and Souljia Boy Tell'Em.

WHY?

Jay-Z to perform on September 11

Jay-Z is dropping his album, Blueprint 3, on September 11. He picked this date because it is the date that he dropped the original Blueprint album back in the day.

He'll be performing tracks from it at Madison Square Garden and ticket sales proceeds will go to a charity for NYC's Finest and Bravest. (That's cops and firefighters - fyi).

Tickets are $600. HUH? Well it's for a good cause, right?

The T.O. Show Update: Mo vs. Kita!

This week on The T.O. Show Mo decided to renew her vows to her man who looks a lot like Omar Minaya. If you don't know who Omar is, don't worry about it.

But of course, before you have the ceremony, you got to have the Bachelorette party, right?

Luckily for Mo and Kita, they know T.O. who gives them his credit card to have a good time.

(Can I just insert the thought here that all they do for T.O. is just hang with him, and not do any PR? I am cool with them getting the benefits as friends, but do not front like you have some job. please).

So off to Vegas they go, and of course, T.O. decides to take Omar for his bachelor party. But the thing is, it's the ladies who have strippers on their minds, while T.O. ends up just chillin' in their massive suite at The Palms. T.O. is tipped off by his host that he just got hit with a $19,000 room charge on his card. THAT is not cool.

Getting agitated, he busts into the ladies room where a male stripper is doin his thing. T.O. quickly busts up the party, but is in a better mood when Mo wins money for him at the craps table.

Kita is none too thrilled with the stripper, and wanted to keep things "classy." She gets in a huge yelling fight with Mo at the club later in the evening and is seen packing her things to leave the party early.

I really like T.O.'s facial expressions at dinner when the girls trade barbs. He's thinking, "I am definitely not getting in the middle of this one!"

I guess what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas if you are on a reality show. At what point in your life is the Vegas thing too much?

America's Best Dance Crew: BORING

America's Best Dance Crew - Wow is this show BORING now. I can barely watch it this season. What is up with the Vogue crew? They are so annoying, just running into each other, running around on stage, getting mad love because all they do is vogue.

The only crew that should even be ON this show is the one from the Bronx. They bring the energy required to win a dance competition like this.

Someone please kick off Afroboriqua - super cheesy. And while you are at it, toss the crew from DC who got CALLED OUT by Shane Sparks for just using YouTube moves from 3 years ago. You can just hear his frustration with the whole season this year as he rips each crew that comes up and puts on another uninspiring performance.

What happened to this show? It used to be the hottest thing and now it is quickly spiraling down the relevance pole.

Time to get the Champions Round going. Will this show get moved to Lifetime too?

Michael Jordan and Carmelo Anthony Shootaround

The one thing I wished I did as a kid was attend one of Michael Jordan's Basketball Camps aka Flight School. Too bad I got cut from my 5th grade basketball team and I moved onto tennis instead.

Well, the advantage of attending these days is Michael's got a bunch of friends to stop by, and this year he brought by fellow Jumpman spokesperson Carmelo Anthony.

It's cool to see MJ still has the touch.

America's Best Dance Crew Season 4!

It is finally back, and actually, a bunch of other shows are just around the corner that are fun to watch.

MTVs America's Best Dance Crew kicked off last Sunday with the biggest surprise being Lil Mama's ENORMOUS forehead! It all makes sense that she used to have bangs and wear the bling-y NY Yankees hats. My brother put it best, "She looks like a Conehead."

As a Midwest boy, I am disappointed that the Midwest has not represented this season. And I think the producers are feeling the Asian backlash, so there is only 1 Asian crew on this year.

The early favorites for me are the crews from the Bronx and from Seattle. The rest are pretty damn weak!

What are your thoughts?

Furry vs. Breakdancer

Who Wins?

The T.O. Show Update: I cried. I cried some more.

Touching episode of T.O. Show this week, as Terrell Owens travels back to the STICKS (Alexander City, AL) to see his father, who abandoned him (sort of) during his youth.

T.O. shows his sensitive side, as he sits down for some quality time with his grandmother who was stricken with Alzheimer’s Disease back in ’96. It’s amazing that she even recognizes him at the end of one of his nostalgic ramblings while they sit outside.

T.O. then gets to confront his father who basically admits that he was not there for him, but was also working 2 jobs, and somehow had the time to have a whole other family! And that family actually lived across the street from T.O.’s grandmother’s house, where T.O. grew up! Well, like all real men do these days, they hug it out, and I think there is some resolution for T.O. moving forward.

It was cool to see T.O. hit up his old high school and give the “Stay In School” speech to a bunch of steroid-tempted teenagers, and also attend the local church on Easter Sunday. Some may mistake him for a giant Easter Egg in the hot pink sweater he donned, but for some reason it worked.

I’m learning more and more about this dude’s background, which is fine, but I want to get some video footage of him learning the Bills’ new offensive schemes and finding his new true love.

I'm Eric Schmidt. I'm Not a Mac

Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, has stepped down from the Board of Apple.

I had no idea how wide he was. Maybe this is a bad photo. Or maybe it's because Steve Jobs is rail thin now.

Jay-Z Rocks Out at All Points West

Last Friday marked the beginning of All Points West music festival held in NJ, and I was fortunate enough to attend.

Actually, I bought tickets only when I heard Jay-Z was headlining as a replacement for The Beastie Boys as MCA has been stricken by (treatable) throat cancer.

As an homage to The Beastie Boys, Jay-Z opened up covering “No Sleep Till Brooklyn.” That was a great great performance.

It rained all day, but luckily it stopped by the time the Yeah Yeah Yeahs performed, just before Jay-Z came out. He had the whole band and an Asian DJ with nerdy glasses on. Who is that?

Here is his complete playlist as I attempted to type on my iPhone will simultaneously jumping up and down during the songs:
