D.L. Hughley: "Black Women Are Angry All the Time"

D.L. Hughley may be a
king of comedy, but many women won't be laughing when they hear his latest
controversial statements.
The actor and comedian, speaking on NPR while promoting his new book I Want You to
Shut the Fawk Up: How the Audacity of Dopes is Ruining America, had this to
say about Black women:
"I’ve never met an angrier group of people. Like
Black women are angry just in general. Angry all the time. My assessment, just
in my judgment, you either are in charge or they’re in charge, so there’s no
kind of day that you get to rest."
Hughley goes on to say that his wife
is the only Black woman he can stand, perhaps due in no small part to the fact
that, as Hughley himself admits, she's one of the few Black women who can stand
him.
The comedian defended himself against an inevitable backlash by
reminding listeners that he has long been an advocate for celebrities who make
controversial statements: "I have defended Michael Richards for the
N-word. I’ve defended Tracy Morgan for his comments. I defended Rush
Limbaugh. It is the idea that they have the right to say it."
While
it's true that Hughley has a right to say
what's on his mind, it's pretty clear he's not counting on the support of
Black women for book sales.
Lil Wayne Ordered Not To Fly

Lil Wayne is officially
grounded. The hip hop star is under doctor's orders not to fly, after suffering two seizure-like episodes on a plane last week
forced him to make an emergency landing.
Since the episode, Weezy has been recovering from the "life-changing event"
at his mother's house in Louisiana and doctors have instructed him not to work
or fly for at least a week.
According to TMZ, Wayne has been under the care of visiting doctors and
nurses since the incident and is telling people that the health scare resulted
from working himself too hard. He will reportedly return to his home in Miami,
by luxury bus, soon.
Meek Mill Staying Neutral in Rick Ross, Young Jeezy Beef

Though his mentor and label boss
Rick Ross is embroiled in one of the most high profile beefs in hip hop
with Young Jeezy, Meek Mill says he's determined to stay out of
the fray. In a recent interview with Mr. Peter Parker, the Philadelphia native said
that where he's from, beef is not something you play around with.
"I don't participate in none of that," he said of the Ross/Jeezy rivalry.
"Me, I advise them to chill before somebody gets killed and they be having ten
rappers on a song talking about making the rest in peace tribute."
Meek said he's seen how words can turn to violence and that he would much
rather focus on business.
"I've seen bad things in my hood. I know kids that in the middle of a battle,
start shooting over a battle rap…it makes no sense. It's senseless. I might not
even be one of them, it might be their homies. We come from senseless places
where senseless people do crazy things, so if it ain't about no money, I ain't
[involved]."
Meek's major label debut, Dreams and Nightmares, hit stores this week.

Chris Brown Dresses Up as Terrorist for Halloween

Chris Brown has stirred up some controversy over his recent Halloween
costume. The R&B star and his crew dressed up as Osama Bin Laden and
his terrorists, fully equipped with weaponry and fake beards. Of course, many
are asking if the costumes should be taken as just a joke or outright
disrespectful. Regardless, Breezy didn't seem concerned about public
opinion.
"Ain't nobody F---ing wit my
clique!!!! #ohb," he tweeted.
Brown has been working hard
since 2009 to restore his name after his domestic violence assault on
ex-girlfriend Rihanna. The two have since reconciled and are currently rebuilding their friendship. Brown has been no stranger to
controversy this year. In June, he was involved in a bottle-throwing club brawl with Drake and his love life
has been a hot topic since he split with girlfriend, Karreuche Tran last month.
