THE NEW CLUB INTERNATIONAL
Twinkle twinkle, babies. It’s your favorite “starchild” buzzin’
among the stars with a little chitterchat…
Did you get a chance to see the BET Awards? The pioneers of the industry really strutted their stuff, including P’Diddy,
Queen Latifah and the glorious Ms. Patti LaBelle, who Prince
even gave a standing ovation to. But the awkward moment of
the night was when El DeBarge came on the scene. He was
warmly received by many who probably didn’t even know his
name before that night. His gaunt frame bore the years of trial
and trouble he had seen over the years. When a friend of mine
asked me, “Who’s that old white man?” I knew El’s struggles
were indeed showing heavily on his face. His new album appropriately titled, “Second Chance” speaks of his hardships and
drama over the years. The album is scheduled to release Sept.
28 of this year and am looking forward to seeing if El can bring
back the magic again. Go El, GO!
Well, they say a hit dog hollers. Is that what happened to
Tyler Perry? Sources claim a recent episode of
“The Boondocks” was so true that Tyler Perry thinks nobody
could have known some of the information that was featured in
the show. He believes that someone on his staff leaked information to the writing staff of The Boondocks. Because he has no
idea who it possibly could have been and is so dedicated to his
craft, he decided to fire EVERYBODY!!! Well, alrighty then!
This has the potential to be EXPLOSIVELY hilariously…or not.
Will keep you posted. Moving on…
My former Radio One co-worker La La Vasquez finally
married the man of her dreams (and baby daddy) Carmelo Anthony. Took a long time to get there and it was a little rocky, but
the deal was finally consummated. Oh wait. I’m talking about
LeBron. But I digress…
The wedding of VeeJay La La and B’baller Carmelo Anthony had a star-studded turnout, including another former Radio
One co-worker Ludacris, tennis star Serena Williams, and
LeBron James and his lady…who was probably wondering
when the King was going to finally pop
the question. (What?! ALL these
babies and no ring yet?! Hmmmm)
And speaking of King James, so
he’s going to Miami. Is that such a
bad thing? After that little letter tirade from the Cleveland Cavs’ owner,
I can see why LeBron swam for
warmer waters. Too chilly in Ohio.
By the way, Cleveland was offering
the King more to stay. But LeBron
decided to leave anyway…just going to show that sometimes it’s not
about the money. It’s about the spirit.
Get your happy on, LeBron!
On a sadder note: Gospel music icon Bishop Walter Hawkins
passed away in Oakland, CA recently
after suffering with pancreatic cancer.
He was 61. Bishop Hawkins was a
contemporary gospel forerunner who
rose to prominence as a member of
the Hawkins Singers along with his
brother Edwin in the late sixties.
And on a lighter note: One
of the hottest videos going viral
via YouTube this summer is
“Shawt Bus Shawtay” by
BeYoOwnBoss Entertainment. They’ve made a parody
spoof of 4 of the hottest rappers out today. It’s sadly hilarious. Hilarious because it’s off
the scale funny and true on many
levels. Sad because…it’s embarrassingly not so funny and
TRUE on many levels. Sometimes you really don’t know
whether to laugh or cry. So you
get popcorn. ;-)
That’s it from your favorite poetic “starchild.” You know
you can always tap into my
Matrix on Facebook at
iamvaljones. Until the next time
we chat, my EYE is on the stars
so YOU can see what they’re
doing.
GG’ing baby!
