Chris Brown kicking it at Skateland...

2009-08-15T16:04:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to set some rumors straight.. I forgot I had my own blogsite for a second, lol.. First off, Chris Brown had a skate party this past Thursday night at Skateland.. Many guests were in the building including Omarion, Nelly, Melanie Thornton, Brandy, Suelyn Medeiros, Chanta Patton, Brittany Dailey, myself (Shelly Rio) and many more..

Mediatakeout.com decided to post up a picture that we took on twitter and said that video girls were on a date with Chris Brown and that we're groupies and so forth.. And then said that half of us were on a date with Chris and the other half came to the party with Omarion.. I had to laugh when I read this because for a gossip site to feel the need to find a twitpic and make up a story about it is pretty desperate.. The funny thing is all the girls came together on a party bus and Chris & Omarion were already there, lol.

The fact of the matter is, we're all friends as was everyone else at the party.. Everyone took pictures and none of us are dating Chris.. I'm happily married, and the girls have no interest in Chris or Omarion.. We all went out to have fun and skate and hang with our friends.. So always remember, Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see..

If you want to know what's really going on, follow us on our twitter pages...

Audi's awesome RS3 and RS5

2009-03-25T14:39:00.000-07:00

RS3

Audi RS3 is rumored to receive the 2.5 liter 340 hp 5-cylinder turbo from the Audi TT-RS. The Audi RS3 would probably weigh about the same as the TT-RS which does 0-60 in under 4.6, so this 0-60 time should be similar to what the RS3 would get. The new A3 isn’t scheduled to be unveiled till 2011 so the RS3 launch is couple of years away.

RS5

Here are some Audi RS5 renderings. The car is rumored to come out with 470hp. It is too early to say what engine size or any other specs. Enjoy the pics, I love the black one. What do you think of the renderings?

Interview with Director Jameel Saleem..

2009-03-23T21:40:00.001-07:00

Where are you originally from? I was born in Philadelphia, PA but I moved to Baltimore, MD when I was 9 so I remember more of Baltimore.

What might people recognize you from if they don't know who Jameel is?They might recognize me as that guy who does the funny skits on Youtube.

How and when did you get started in the Entertainment business? I started acting professionally on the east coast in 2000 when my Dad put me into an acting school.. I was sort of heading down the wrong road, and that put me on track.

Did someone inspire you to get in to the Industry, if so who? My first acting teacher J.T. Wagner inspired me to get into the Industry. Before her, I didn't think it was a realistic goal.

I did some research on you and read that you were pursuing a singing career before you started directing.. Is that true, and if so what happened?I've been rapping and making music since I was 14.. At one point I had a manager in New York and was shopping deals with Sony and TVT but the offers were terrible, so I got discouraged and decided to stick to my true love which is film. I will release and album one day, but it's more for me than anything else. I'm not interested in becoming a rap star, It's just a hobby.

Do you have any words of wisdom? True happiness comes from what you do, not what you have. If you have any doubt in your heart, then you're almost guaranteed to fail. Throw away all doubt and go for your dream with an unwavering pig-headed discipline and determination.

If you could meet any director in the world, who would it be? Woody Allen.. My idol. He's one director I know that doesn't take himself too seriously. In other words, he doesn't think he's "all that", or at least he doesn't show people that he thinks he's "all that". He's soooooo talented and his work is so unique and smart. He also stars in many of his movies and that's something that I definitely will do.

What seperates you from other directors that have been doing this for years? What is a typical work day for you? I like do tell stories and do things that have never been done, that's what seperates me. I new point of view from a director that doesn't belittle his audience with unintelligent concepts and stories.

Do you get any down time to have fun and if so what do you like to do? On my down time I like to watch movies (what a suprise) especially 80s and cartoon movies, they remind me of my childhood.. I just watched "Bolt" and "Little Monsters" and the other night I watched the "Back to the Future" trilogy

Tell us something people may not know about you... I lift weights and workout everyday.. I don't want to be like most directors (out of shape).

What's one word that describes your personality? Silly.

Are you currently working on any projects? I'm in pre-production on a romantic comedy and I just finsihed directing a reality show pilot being pitched to MTV.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? In five years I will be the first african-american director to win an Academy Award for Directing, and much much more.

If you were to die tomorrow, what would you want to be remembered for?For being a good example of a human being.

Do you have any secrets for being successful in this industry? Don't be like the rest of them. Out here in Hollywood, it's the blind leading the blind.

Name 3 of your favorite movies.. Annie Hall, The Princess Bride, The Goonies.

Michael Jordan stood quietly, clapping his hands with tears in his eyes."Crying?" the NBA great said in response to a reporter's question. "I'm not crying. Not for me, anyway."The younger Jordan was key down the stretch after two teammates fouled out, hitting four of four free throws in the final 3 minutes to seal the victory."Awesome," Marcus Jordan said. "Just awesome."Michael Jordan, part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, skipped his team's home loss to Indiana so he could attend his son's game. Another son, Jeff Jordan, plays basketball for the University of Illinois.

America's Next Top Model Audition ends in fight...

2009-03-15T09:06:00.000-07:00

Fighting to make it to the top doesn't come easy as three people were arrested and six others hurt Saturday after bedlam broke out while they waited to audition for "America's Next Top Model"

Police didn't know what prompted the chaos involving hundreds of people outside the Park Central New York hotel in Manhattan. The panic left the street outside the hotel littered with shoes and clothing, according to news reports.

Two women and a man were arrested on disorderly conduct charges, police said. Authorities also shut down the audition, saying it wasn't properly organized.

Four injured people declined treatment, while two others were taken to a hospital, the fire department said. Their conditions weren't immediately available.

The hotel's phone rang unanswered. Representatives for The CW Network, which airs the show, released a statement saying it was working with authorities investigating the incident.

Lindsay Lohan has a warrant for her arrest..

2009-03-14T13:26:00.000-07:00

Beverly Hills Police Department is confirming a warrant was in fact issued on March 13 for the arrest of Lindsay Lohan. The $50,000 warrant issued by the Beverly Hills Superior Court stems from a May 2007 arrest of Miss Lohan for DUI and hit-and-run.

Lohan was arrested twice in 2007 on driving under the influence charges, with a cocaine possession charge in the second incident.

The first arrest in May came after Lohan lost control of her Mercedes-Benz convertible and struck a Beverly Hills curb.

Just two weeks after checking out of a Malibu drug and alcohol rehab facility, she was arrested again in July 2007 after a woman called Santa Monica police saying Lohan was trying to run her down in a car.

A judge sentenced Lohan to three years' probation after she entered guilty and no-contest pleas to the charges. She served less than two hours in jail.

"The circumstances leading to the issuance of the warrant by the court are not readily available at this time. Hopefully Miss Lohan will surrender herself so that this matter will be resolved in a timely manner."

Rams, out with the old and in with the new

2009-03-14T10:36:00.000-07:00

ST. LOUIS (AP)—The St. Louis Rams released wide receiver Torry Holt on Friday, parting ways with one of the last remaining holdovers from their “Greatest Show on Turf” glory days.
The move came three days after the Rams released offensive tackle Orlando Pace, another mainstay from the era when the Rams won their only Super Bowl and lost another on the game’s final play. Both Holt and Pace are seven-time Pro Bowl selections.
Holt is 32 and Pace is 33 and combined the moves created $14 million in salary cap space. Holt was due a $1.25 million roster bonus on Tuesday.

Owens takes Hardy's mojo

2009-03-13T08:38:00.000-07:00

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- For Bills fans filling out their programs: Yes, folks, T.O. will be No. 81.

The Buffalo Bills said Thursday that newly signed receiver Terrell Owens will be getting his familiar number, and that second-year receiver James Hardy will be switching to No. 84.
Hardy, the team's second-round draft pick out of Indiana last year, wore No. 81 during his rookie season.
It's unclear whether Hardy will be compensated by Owens to switch numbers. In the past, veteran players joining new teams have been known to pay for or provide compensation for the right to switch numbers.
Owens has worn No. 81 throughout his NFL career, but wore No. 80 in college at Tennessee-Chattanooga.

Roy Williams a number 1 receiving threat over T.O.?

2009-03-12T08:28:00.000-07:00

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, speaking for the first time since the release of wide receiver Terrell Owens, said the controversial player was not cut loose because of chemistry issues in the lockerroom.
The Dallas Morning News reported Jones released Owens because the team wanted Roy Williams to become the No. 1 receiving threat and the development of Miles Austin as a potential No. 2 wideout.
"I had to look at Roy Williams and the future that we have with Roy," Jones said on The Fan (105.3 FM) on Tuesday afternoon. "I'm excited about Roy, so I'd rather have him than the [three] picks we gave up for him in this draft."
Jones also said it gives quarterback Tony Romo a chance to spread the ball around to tight ends Jason Witten and Martellus Bennett and running backs Marion Barber and Felix Jones.

Hayden Panettiere Plays Dirty..

2009-03-11T14:59:00.000-07:00

From okmagazine.com

Heroes’ Hayden Panettiere has decided to take her bitter breakup with co-star Milo Ventimiglia to the small screen. Hayden, 19, is trying to get Milo, 31, kicked off of the show, according to a mutual friend.

“She refuses to be on the set at the same time as him,” the pal tells OK!. “She is making it difficult for everyone involved.” (Her rep denies this).

As for Milo, “He’s not going to play any games or stoop to her level,” says the friend.

Since the split, Hayden has been linked to a string of men including rocker Anthony Kiedis, 46, her ex Stephen Colletti, 23, and Gerard Butler, 39.

Chris Brown withdraws his name from The Kids Choice Awards..

2009-03-11T14:52:00.000-07:00

Chris Brown is withdrawing his name from consideration for a 2009 Kids' Choice Award. A spokesperson for Chris Brown said said, "Chris very much appreciates the support of his fans and the honor they have paid him in the way of nominations for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the incident last month has shifted the focus from the music to whether he should be allowed to be among those nominated. While Chris would like to speak to his fans directly about this and other issues, pending legal proceedings preclude his doing so at this time. Once the matter before him has been resolved, he intends to do so."

In addition to Favorite Song, Chris Brown was also nominated in the Favorite Male Singer category. There was a controversy surrounding Chris Brown's nomination for the any awards because he allegedly badly beat up his girlfriend, singer Rihanna. Chris Brown and Rihanna had been head to head in the Favorite Song category. Chris Brown's exit leaves just Rihanna, Katy Perry and Beyonce up for the Favorite Song award.

San Diego is Charged, to keep L.T.

2009-03-11T09:01:00.000-07:00

SAN DIEGO (AP)—The LaDainian Tomlinson saga ended happily for both sides.
After two months of uncertainty about his future, L.T. remains the face of the San Diego Chargers. The star running back agreed to a renegotiated deal that gives the team salary cap relief, the Chargers confirmed Tuesday night.
Financial terms weren’t immediately available for the three-year contract for Tomlinson, the 2006 NFL MVP.
“I love San Diego and being a part of this team with my teammates,” Tomlinson said in a statement released by the team. “My No. 1 priority was to stay here in San Diego. I truly believe this is the place that gives me the best chance to be successful and win a championship. I want to finish the job we started when I got here eight years ago. My heart has always been in San Diego. I couldn’t imagine putting on another uniform.”
A news conference was scheduled for Wednesday morning.

The Cavs could of and should of got Shaq

2009-03-10T08:11:00.000-07:00

It was nearly LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal in Cleveland. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Cavaliers and Phoenix Suns nearly made a trade that would have sent Shaq to Cleveland two weeks ago. The Times called it "the Big Near Miss''.
According to the report, Phoenix was prepared to ship Shaq East for the bargain basement price of Wally Szczerbiak and Sasha Pavlovic. However, instead of Szczerbiak, whose $13.5-million-a-year deal is expiring, the Cavaliers wanted the Suns take Ben Wallace, who has one more season at $14 million left.
Of course, who's to say it won't come up again this summer?

Pro Bowl goes back to Paradise

2009-03-09T09:26:00.000-07:00

HONOLULU (AP)—The Pro Bowl is returning to Hawaii.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority board voted 9-1 on Friday to accept the NFL’s offer to return to the islands.
The board rejected two previous proposals, but under mounting pressure reconsidered its latest refusal to pay the NFL $4 million a year to host the all-star game at Aloha Stadium in 2011 and 2012.
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with the state of Hawaii, which has embraced the Pro Bowl for 30 years,” Frank Supovitz, the NFL’s senior vice president of events, said in a statement.
The 2010 Pro Bowl will be played in Miami a week before the Super Bowl after a 30-year run in Hawaii in which every game was a sellout.
Supovitz said placing the Pro Bowl in the islands on a rotational basis will maintains its ties to Hawaii while making it more accessible to fans on the mainland.

Joint deal for Beckham

2009-03-08T11:18:00.000-07:00

LOS ANGELES (AP)—David Beckham is coming back to the Los Angeles Galaxy in July.
The English midfielder will remain on loan to AC Milan through the end of the Italian team’s season, which concludes May 31.
But it’s going to cost Beckham to stay overseas. He and AC Milan are jointly paying the Galaxy in a “multimillion dollar deal” to extend his loan, the Galaxy said in a statement issued late Saturday night.
On Sunday, Milan issued a statement confirming the move a few minutes before its game with Atalanta.
“AC Milan announces that the player David Beckham will remain with the Rossoneri until June 30, 2009,” the statement said.
Financial terms of the arrangement were not disclosed. The Galaxy had sought $10 million for the outright purchase of Beckham, but AC Milan officials had offered $3 million.
The two sides were negotiating for weeks and reached agreement on the loan extension hours before it was due to expire after AC Milan’s game with Atalanta.
“I’m really grateful to the L.A. Galaxy and AC Milan for making this dream deal happen,” Beckham said in the statement.

Owens streaks to Buffalo

2009-03-07T21:17:00.000-08:00

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP)—Terrell Owens needed only two days to find another place to play.
The Buffalo Bills decided to take a chance on the talented but high-maintenance receiver, signing Owens to a $6.5 million, one-year deal Saturday.
The 35-year-old Owens caught 69 passes for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns last season with Dallas. But the Cowboys were looking to improve the atmosphere in the locker room and decided they would be better off without him.
“I’m leaving America’s team (for) North America’s team,” Owens said at a news conference.
The Bills will be Owens’ fourth stop. He started with San Francisco, bounced to Philadelphia—where he helped the Eagles get to a Super Bowl—and then to Dallas.
“I must move on, and it’s another beginning for me,” Owens said. “If I can be that extra added piece to get them to the playoffs, then that’s what I’m here for. I looked at the defensive side of ball and offensive side of the ball, and these guys have all the pieces.”

Mark don't PLAY that!

2009-03-07T10:45:00.000-08:00

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wasn't in Oklahoma City to see his team stink out the joint Monday. Apparently, he didn't have to be there in person, to be disgusted.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Cuban promised fans there will be changes if the sorry efforts continue.
"It's only one game, which I keep reminding myself," Cuban said Tuesday. "But let's just say I wasn't happy with our preparation, execution or effort. Not only did it look like we had no idea what we were doing, but we did it without effort. The effort and energy, on both sides of the ball, by each player will decide their future with the Mavericks. If each player can't take the personal initiative to make every game important and play like it, I don't see them being here next season."
According to The Morning News, after Monday's game, in which the Mavericks trailed by 20 points after three quarters to a Thunder team that was missing its two leading scorers — Kevin Durant and Jeff Green — players and coach Rick Carlisle took turns blasting the lack of focus.
"The ball won't always bounce the way we want it to, but every player can control their level of effort," he said. "If it's not important enough to them to lay it out every game the rest of the season, they won't be back. I don't care what their contract is. I would rather turn over the roster 100 percent than subject fans to another game like last night. This team has the talent to win in the playoffs. But that's only going to happen if all 15 guys know and execute their assignments and play every possession like it's important."

Where will T.O. end up Drew?

As the list of teams not interested in the services and issues that come along with signing Terrell Owens to a deal continues to grow, agent Drew Rosenhaus told Profootballtalk.com that several teams are interested in the 35-year-old wide receiver cut earlier this week by the Dallas Cowboys.
"These are several teams that are interested in signing Terrell," Drew Rosenhaus told us Friday morning. "I have been in negotiations with these teams. I will not identify these teams at this time."
Profootballtalk.com speculated Owens could end up with the Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders or possibly the Indianapolis Colts.

Obama girls surprised by...

2009-03-05T10:43:00.001-08:00

...A brand new swing set when they arrived home from school on Wednesday.

A spokeswoman for First Lady Michelle Obama says they "squealed with delight" when they saw their surprise, playing on the swing set for almost an hour in the chilly weather.

The girls' parents arranged for the play set to be installed Wednesday at the White House grounds, within sight of the Oval Office, before Malia and Sasha arrived home from Sidwell Friends school.

They still haven't received the puppy yet but I'm sure that will be a surprise as well..

BREAKING NEWS: Chris Brown to face 2 felony charges

Esquire best dressed man... It has to be Obama, right?

2009-03-05T09:18:00.000-08:00

Not this time...Prince Charles has beaten off competition from President Barack Obama to be named the world's best dressed man by Esquire magazine.

"He is perfectly turned out in a double-breasted suit. Admirably, the prince keeps his wardrobe in appropriate style: we're told he has a room laid out like a tailor's shop," the men's magazine said.

Prince Charles, 60, keeps it simple and has worn suits by Saville Row tailors Gieves and Hawkes, complete with pocket handkerchief and silk tie, for years. Esquire said he was "always incredibly well dressed".

PRESIDENT OBAMA came 4th in the top ten with some of the other competitors such as tennis player Roger Federer coming in 8th and rapper Andre 3000 coming in 10th.

DODGER fans,welcome back the MaN-RaM, Mr. Ramirez

2009-03-05T08:35:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES (AP)—The Dodgers got their Manny, and all it took after weeks of wrangling was an early morning get-together bringing both sides to owner Frank McCourt’s house.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers officially agreed Wednesday on a $45 million, two-year contract that keeps him with the NL West champions. The slugger can void the second season of the deal and again become a free agent.
The stalemate ended during a 6 a.m. meeting Wednesday at McCourt’s Malibu home. The session came after weeks of protracted negotiations that included starts, stops, offers and subsequent rejections.
At times, McCourt’s frustration with Scott Boras surfaced, with the owner describing Ramirez’s agent as “challenging to work with.”
But all that was forgotten when the parties met face-to-face, with general manager Ned Colletti and manager Joe Torre calling the gathering “comfortable.”
“We got a great meeting,” Ramirez told KCAL-TV as he emerged from a mandatory physical in suburban Inglewood. “I’m happy to be here. We got some unfinished business, and that’s why I’m here.”

T.O.'s no longer a STAR in Dallas

2009-03-05T08:25:00.000-08:00

So Terrell Owens finally is gone. Rip up that Dallas Cowboys star from midfield – the personal stage he couldn’t resist. Roll it into a steel barrel and seal it with concrete. Then bury it beneath the Texas Stadium parking lot, and for the sake of the next naïve NFL franchise, pray that Owens’ fading career is laid to rest with it.
This can’t happen again. Not after three franchises, three quarterbacks and untold exclusive interviews, all in which Owens sermonizes about how we must understand that he’s merely misunderstood. Even Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can see it now – the reality that in the end, T.O. is nothing more than the NFL’s decaying nuclear reactor: a seduction of heat and energy and power … until it inevitably leaves a bitter nuclear winter in its wake.
Make no mistake, this is what happened Wednesday. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones finally realized the needle on the Geiger counter had gone too far into the red, and he dispatched Owens in the first move of a cleanup that could take several seasons. Finally, the owner who fiercely values his own opinion opened his mind and let the outside world change it. Maybe it was the coaching staff or the players or the nagging sliver of doubt in his brain. Whatever it took, Wednesday was Jones finally admitting that he was wrong.
Now it’s up to the rest of the NFL to sit up and take notice. Because some Super Bowl-contending team undoubtedly will wonder what Owens will look like in its scheme. Scores of fans will daydream for a moment, wondering what T.O. would look like next to Randy Moss, or catching passes from Eli Manning, or matching his charisma with Ray Lewis. But what everyone should be seeing at this moment is the most radioactive player in the NFL – a natural disaster just waiting to corrupt the course of another franchise.

8 NBA teams change their jerseys for a night,,

2009-03-04T22:20:00.000-08:00

From Yahoo Sports:

No, your eyes do not deceive you, charro ...

Kicking off the The Association's third annual Noche Latina event — a program that recognizes the NBA's fans and players from across Latin America and U.S. Hispanic communities — "Los Kobe" and his Lakers wore celebratory jerseys in their front-running 99-89 win over the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Announced back in February, Noche Latina frenzy is set to take place in eight of the top 10 American Hispanic markets this season (up from four in 2007-08): Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, San Antonio, Dallas, Chicago, Houston and New York.

While "Los" uniforms are all the rage, Noche Latina NBA teams will also host in-arena themed activities ranging from Latin music to performances and giveaways to I'm not even going to go there ...

But here's a fun twist: Rather than translating the team names literally ("Los Sols," "Los Espuelas," what have you), market research has apparently concluded that Spanish-speakers in the U.S. refer to them a little differently. The Miami Heat, for example, is called "El Heat"; the San Antonio Spurs are "Los Spurs." I'll have to take their word for it.

Anyway, if you like what you see, Latin nights jerseys, t-shirts, and headwear (excluding Mbenga's awesome floating wide-brimmed hat, sorry) are available at the NBAStore.com.

Here's a quick look at the other Latina-flavored threads:

Jamie Foxx: "No man should put hands on a woman"

2009-03-04T06:54:00.000-08:00

Jamie Foxx speaks on the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation. Just to add my personal opinion, lately I've listened to Steve Harvey and a few others which have had the same opinion on Men ever putting their hands on a women in an effort to hurt them physically, and I think its sad and despicable when a man ever feels that he has to lift his hands to hurt a woman, I understand that women can sometimes take you there but there is never a reason to put hands on a woman. Out of every negative situation you learn that something positive comes out of it and now physical abuse has come to the frontline of our conversation, and I hope it discourages people who do these types of acts...

Cromartie may say, "bye!" to the Chargers

2009-03-03T08:48:00.000-08:00

In 2007, Antonio Cromartie unseated Drayton Florence as the starting right cornerback for the San Diego Chargers and finished the season with 10 interceptions. Now, it appears the Florence could replace Cromartie according to the San Diego Union Tribune.
The report, citing league sources, indicated the Chargers will put Cromartie on the trading block if they can sign Florence as a free agent. Florence is also being courted by the Buffalo Bills.
Cromartie's Pro Bowl campaign in 2007 convinced the Chargers to allow Florence to leave via free agency. He signed a six-year, $36 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. But he was released last month and, according to the report, notified the Chargers through his agent he would like to return. The sides are talking now, and a deal could be in place this week.
Cromartie suffered a serious slide in production in 2008. He injured his hip in the season opener — which he later called a fracture — and had just two interceptions. If he is not traded, 2009 is considered a make-or-break year for him with the Chargers.

One Prayer answered and waiting on three more

2009-03-02T15:14:00.000-08:00

TAMPA, Fla. -- Coast Guard searchers on Monday narrowed the search area for two NFL players and a third man missing since a weekend fishing trip off the Florida Gulf Coast after crews rescued a fourth man clinging to their capsized boat.

Survivor Nick Schuyler, a former University of South Florida player, told rescuers that the boat the four friends were aboard was anchored when it flipped Saturday evening in rough seas, said Coast Guard Capt. Timothy M. Close. Since then, Schuyler, who was wearing a life vest, had been hanging onto the boat found by a Coast Guard cutter 35 miles off Clearwater.
Schuyler said the other three men got separated from the boat. The 21-footer belongs to Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, who, along with free-agent defensive lineman Corey Smith and former South Florida player William Bleakley, remained missing.
Schuyler was conscious but appeared weak as he was being taken off a helicopter at Tampa General Hospital and placed on a stretcher. His father said his son was in serious but stable condition and that he "looks OK."
"He's got some cuts and bruises. He's dehydrated," said Stuart Schuyler.
Schuyler's mother, Marsha Schuyler, said her son told her that he survived by thinking about how he didn't want her to go to his funeral.
The family's joy at him being found alive was tempered by the search for his friends.
"We still have three men missing, and we're not going to talk too much until we find these guys," said his father, Stuart Schuyler. "We're all praying for them. These guys are all very close friends."

Taylor is running to New England

2009-02-27T10:27:00.000-08:00

The New England Patriots addressed their need for depth at running back on Thursday evening, reaching an agreement in principle with free agent Fred Taylor.

Taylor, an 11-year veteran, was released by Jacksonville last week for salary cap reasons, after playing his entire career with the Jaguars. The 33-year-old was scheduled to earn a base salary of $6 million in 2009 and was also due a $1 million bonus in coming weeks.
The terms and financial details of the contract, which will be officially signed on Friday, were not immediately available. The deal was confirmed by team sources and sources close to the player.
The addition of Taylor provides the Patriots a veteran back who could battle fourth-year veteran Laurence Maroney for the starting job. It also continues the Patriots' recent tradition of adding veteran backs to bolster their depth chart.

Will Marbury be wearing GREEN?

Through the refusals to play, to the theatrical storming out of meetings with management, to the delirious diatribes to the New York Post, there’s been one constant truth that’s risen out of the confusion: Within Stephon Marbury, the doubt has deepened. He isn’t so sure he wants the pressure, the responsibility, the demands of championship basketball.
Marbury goes to the Boston Celtics now, but the buyout took forever for a good reason: Starbury is a cartoon character who lives on the tabloid backpages, who exists as the King of Fools in basketball.

Deadline nears for council seats..

2009-02-21T14:21:00.000-08:00

One of our fellow bloggers Charod Wilson has a very exciting few months ahead of him. His mom is running for for Terrell City Council out in Texas.. Good Luck to their family and keep us posted..

From the Terrell Tribune:

Less than a month before the deadline expires to file bids for one of two seats on the Terrell City Council only three applicants have thrown their hats into the ring.

Two are incumbents Tommy Spencer, Dist. 2, who so far looks to face one opponent, Sandra Kay Wilson, and Jack Jones, Dist. 4, who could remain the lone man on the ballot , if no one else files to run against him by March 13.

Wilson, a native of Terrell, says the decision to run is fueled by a desire to see progress in her district, while Jones and Spencer cite unfinished business as one of the reasons they would like to return to the council.

“There are a lot of things we’ve got on the drawing board that I’d like to see completed,” said Jones, who is eligible for one more term.

“I basically want to be part of completing some of the things that we started and continue to support my constituency,” Spencer said.

Wilson said she has been polling the neighborhood to find out what’s most important to residents and that will determine what she can do for them.

To run for office, prospective candidates must have lived within their district for at least six months prior to election day, May 9. They must also be a U.S. Citizen and registered Texas voter. Council members serve three-year terms.

According to the city’s Web site, anyone previously convicted of a felony is ineligible for a council seat.

Citizens who wish to run for office may file a sworn application for a place on the ballot with the City Secretary by 5 p.m., March 13.

Holmes fined for celebration, but not flagged?

2009-02-20T08:28:00.000-08:00

PITTSBURGH (AP)—Santonio Holmes’ last-minute touchdown catch won the Super Bowl for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It cost him 10 grand, too.
The NFL fined Holmes $10,000 for using the football as a prop during his post-catch celebration, which came well after the play ended. Holmes, impersonating NBA star LeBron James’ pregame ritual of tossing powder into the air, shook the football and tossed it after his 6-yard scoring catch with 35 seconds sealed Pittsburgh’s 27-23 victory.
The Steelers were not penalized for excessive celebration, apparently because the officials were getting ready for the point-after attempt and did not see Holmes’ display in the corner of the end zone.
Two weeks ago, NFL vice president of officiating Mike Pereira said the celebration should have drawn a 15-yard penalty on the following kickoff. Such penalties result in an automatic $10,000 fine.
However, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said before the Pro Bowl that the NFL competition committee may consider making such celebrations legal if they occur long after a play ends.
“As you know, part of this rule is to avoid having a reaction from opposing players and, from what I could see, only seeing it once, it didn’t seem like it was anywhere near that,” Goodell said.
Holmes auctioned off the gloves he wore during the catch for $70,200, but that money will be donated to charity.
The NFL Network first reported the Holmes fine.

Thunder say N.O. to Chandlers toe jam

2009-02-19T07:54:00.000-08:00

In the hours after the Oklahoma City Thunder stunningly voided their trade for New Orleans Hornets center Tyson Chandler, league executives questioned why the Thunder would give up on what appeared to be such a promising deal.
The weight of the trade, four league officials said, rested on Chandler’s left big toe. During Chandler’s physical, the Hornets’ medical staff, in consultation with outside doctors, raised concerns about a lingering turf-toe condition.
“It’s not going to end his career,” one source familiar with Chandler’s medical history said, “but it could hinder it.”
One of the reasons the Hornets wouldn’t have expected any complications with the trade was that Chandler had surgery on the toe in April 2007 when the Thunder’s team doctor, Carlan Yates, had been the Hornets’ doctor in Oklahoma City. The Hornets had reason to assume that Thunder management had thorough access to Chandler’s medical records.

Thunder GM Sam Presti, who would not discuss the specifics of why Chandler failed the team’s physical, said the team sought additional opinions from outside doctors before making its decision to rescind the trade.
“You try to take emotion out of the equation and make as objective a decision as possible,” Presti said by phone Wednesday night. “This was extremely disappointing for everyone involved.

Can Kobe and Shaq RE-NEW their vows for another Championship?

2009-02-18T08:46:00.000-08:00

Two days to the trading deadline.
One more big body needed for the Los Angeles Lakers to clinch this thing, according to Los Angeles Times columnst Bill Plaschke.
Why not Shaq?
Why not bring back a guy who is no longer disliked by Phil Jackson, no longer a threat to Kobe Bryant, and no longer an embarrassment to himself?
The Phoenix Suns are open to trading everyone with a pulse. The Lakers are looking to close the deal on a championship. As recently as a month ago, everyone was dying to get rid of Lamar Odom and . . .
OK, OK, I get it. This is not a deal you make now.
I wouldn't trade Odom now that he's finally looked in a mirror. I wouldn't bring the Big Combustion into the steadiest room in the league.
No Shaq now.
But don't say no Shaq never.
There's

a funny thing about the possibility of the Lakers one day allowing one of the most polarizing, powerful presences in franchise history to end his career here.

Not everyone on the Lakers is dismissing it.

Shaq shoe leaves HUGE imprint on PRES. OBAMA...

For a basketball playing obsessed President, nothing could of possibly been a better gift then a size 23 sneaker personally autographed by Shaquille O'Neal.

The Phoenix Suns center couldn't be around himself when President Barack Obama arrived at Sky Harbor International Airport Tuesday afternoon. So when the president stepped off of Air Force One, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon's son Jake made the presentation at the foot of the stairs.
Obama reportedly set it on the ground next to his own, much smaller shoe, and grinned as photographers captured the moment. Then Obama scooped it up and took it with him as he stepped into the presidential limo.

Thunder strikes on Tyson Chandler

2009-02-17T13:28:00.000-08:00

OKC Thunder gets the interior 7 footer they desperately needed in Tyson Chandler.

The Hornets received forwards Joe Smith and Chris Wilcox in exchange for their best interior defender.

ESPN.com reported early Monday that the Hornets -- who have been looking to move Chandler mostly for financial reasons -- were in talks with the Thunder on a trade that would net the expiring contracts of Smith and Wilcox. Thunder general manager Sam Presti is a long-time admirer of Chandler dating to his time with the San Antonio Spurs.
The Thunder also possess numerous draft picks to sweeten trade packages -- including five first-round picks in the next two drafts -- but Presti was able to land an accomplished center to complement his promising young trio of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green without surrendering any major draft considerations.
With a payroll at nearly $67 million this season and scheduled to reach almost $77 million next season, New Orleans felt it had to part with Chandler before Thursday's 3 p.m. trading deadline regardless, even though dealing away the 26-year-old almost certainly takes the Hornets out of serious playoff contention in the West.

Late Night Valentine's @ Table Fifty-Two

2009-02-15T10:27:00.000-08:00

President Obama and his Wife and out country's First-Lady Michelle went out last night to Table Fifty-Two in Chicago to celebrate their Valentine's. As you can tell they both look very happy out and their chef was Oprah's once personal chef, ART SMITH, who is also the owner of this fine establishment.

As the Chicago Tribune reports:

For their first big date since the inauguration, the Obamas selected Table Fifty-Two, an upscale establishment where the menu features decadent southern fare such as pan-seared catfish, low-country shrimp with stone-ground grits and buttermilk fried chicken. Red velvet cake was the dessert special Saturday evening.

I might have to go down there to get myself some Red Velvet cake because it certainly sounded tasty...and I'm sure the leftovers they had when they arrived home were pretty tasty as well.

KRYPTO-NATE over powers SUPERMAN

PHOENIX (AP)—Call him Krypto-Nate.
Nate Robinson tugged on Superman’s cape—and won.
The diminutive New York Knicks guard beat defending champion Dwight Howard of Orlando in an electrifying slam dunk contest on Saturday night, winning 52 percent of fans’ votes.
Clad in an all-green Knicks uniform with green shoes, the 5-foot-9 Robinson springboarded over the 6-foot-11 Howard to jam.
“Dwight was a great sport letting me dunk over him,” said Robinson, who also won in 2006.
Robinson pitched the idea to Orlando’s big man on Friday.
“I asked him yesterday in the elevator,” Robinson said. “He was like, ‘Hey, I’ll do it.’ I thought he was joking.”

Howard said he was happy to help him out.

Monica tells The National Enquirer that she became pregnant after a series of unprotected intimate encounters
with Ray J.
“I was locked in a mansion with him and 13 girls from October until the end of December. Toward the end of the first week of filming, we made love for the first time - and we slept together every night after that.”
Monica says she was on the Pill, but the contraception failed during that period. She is now engaged to marry rapper/actor Nick Cannon’s brother Gabriel.
The vixen has allegedly told Ray J about their pending bundle of joy, and the star is reportedly eager to get involved in the child’s life.
But Monica isn’t so sure that’s what she wants.
“I saw him playing around with other girls - making out with them and smacking their butts, and it made me sick to think he could be giving me their germs when he was kissing me.”
A representative for the show has branded Monica a liar, simply saying: “We’ve been told that the story is not true.”

Something doesn't seem right about this, we here at shellyrio.com are going to get to the bottom of this and get the facts.

The HEAT gets turned up on D-Wade and its not in MIAMI

2009-02-12T11:50:00.000-08:00

Ex-partner says Wade had sex parties, smoked pot
A former business partner of Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade is telling Page2Live that he saw remnants of sex parties at a Miami Beach apartment used by the married Wade and his entourage.
What's more, says Euro blue-blood Baron Richard Von Houtman, he witnessed on two occasions Wade puffing away on marijuana cigarettes, once with a teammate.
Wade's publicist, Lisa Joseph, e-mailed this statement Monday afternoon: "It's a shame that a disgruntled former business associate is peddling these fairy tales to fit his own personal agenda."
Von Houtman's revelations come as the image of perfection that Wade has been building since his 2003 arrival into the NBA is being shattered. He remains one of the league's most popular players the world over, and he's headed to the All-Star Game in Phoenix Sunday.
But his soon-to-be-ex wife, Siohvaughn, recently claimed in a motion made in their divorce case in their native Chicago that her hubby of eight years gave her an undisclosed STD caught outside the marriage. She also said Wade, who was known as one of the most religious Heat players, abandoned her and their two sons.
Wade's attorney in the divorce, Jim Pritkin, called the claims false and said Monday that Siohvaughn withdrew the motion that included the accusations.
Von Houtman described used condoms on the floor of the bedrooms, obvious signs of sexual activities on all the beds, empty champagne and hard-liquor bottles, nearly-finished blunts and half-eaten food rotting on tables and furniture.
"They'd have these parties in there two or three times a week," Von Houtman said. "There were always dozens of people in there. Rappers, Dwyane and his entourage, women they'd pick up in clubs."

"I was the only one who ever stood up to him," she bragged about arguing with the Making the Band producer over what she considered to be poor management.

Chris Brown takes "Bleeding Love" to a whole new level

2009-02-11T11:06:00.000-08:00

Saturday night was busy for Chris Brown. Not only did he get physical with Rihanna, he was also spotted chatting it up with Leona Lewis. Sources say that at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy party the "Kiss Kiss" singer was less concerned with GF Ray Ray and more focused on pursuing fellow R&Ber Leona Lewis.
“At one point, Rihanna caught Chris flirting with Leona. They were carrying on and laughing, and Rihanna saw Chris with his hand on the small of Leona’s back. It may have been innocent, but that set Rihanna off," says a source to Star mag.
Could this be the argument that set Brown off later that night?
This news doesn't surprise us one bit. We had a feeling this couple was having problems keepin' it together. Brown's rumored cheating just confirms our suspicions.
As for an update on Rihanna's health, her Grandmother, Clara Brathwaite, released a statement to Barbados' Daily Nation newspaper saying, "I don't want people to worry. Rihanna is fine and she is doing well."

Rihanna we are praying for you. In the words of T.I. on the Carson Daily Show, "This too shall pass."

Will Shaq and Amare get Burnt out of Phoenix?

2009-02-11T08:28:00.000-08:00

Kerr and Griffin are engaged in discussions with multiple teams for Stoudemire, with Chicago, Golden State, Portland, Sacramento and Memphis and others seriously pursuing him. For the Suns to get the best possible package for Stoudemire, they need Stoudemire’s suitors to believe that they’re willing to let the trade deadline pass on Feb. 19 without moving him.
Mostly, Phoenix needs to avoid looking desperate. Yet Sarver – who has a reputation for being impulsive and overzealous – has left teams dubious of believing Kerr’s bluff that he doesn’t have to trade Stoudemire.
For the Suns to bring back a package for Stoudemire which makes more basketball than financial sense, sources say, they’ll have to move the contracts of Shaquille O’Neal or Leandro Barbosa.
So far, rival GMs insist there’s no market for O’Neal – that the balance of the $20 million owed him this season and the $20 million he’ll earn next season make him untradeable.

Cover Girl Stands by Rihanna while Chris Brown loses his "Got Milk" Campaign..

2009-02-10T21:58:00.000-08:00

A rap sheet doesn't do a body good—particularly Chris Brown.
The folks behind the popular "Got Milk?" spots have announced they're dropping the R&B star from their celeb roster, two days after Brown was busted for allegedly roughing up Rihanna.

"The Milk Mustache campaign is taking the allegations against Chris Brown very seriously," the Body by Milk Campaign said in a statement. "We are very proud and protective of the image of the Milk Mustache campaign and the responsible message it sends to teens."

The "Say Goodbye" singer began donning the mustache in spots last fall. In a case of auspicious timing (or so Body by Milk insists), the ads were due to stop running this week.

On Monday, Wrigley Chewing Gum stopped running all ads featuring Brown touting Doublemint. And the NBA announced that he would not be participating in this weekend's All-Star Game festivities in Phoenix. It's also doubtful he'll show up for Thursday's NAACP Image Awards, for which he and Rihanna are both nominated.

While Brown is losing air time, Rihanna will still be featured as part of a massive CoverGirl campaign.

The cosmetics company said it would continue running TV and print ads starring the 20-year-old "Live Your Life" chanteuse but declined to comment on the situation. “Out of respect for our CoverGirls, we do not share information regarding their personal lives.”

The singer, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, was released from Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after being treated for bruises, cuts and what appeared to be bite marks on her body.

She is apparently still in Los Angeles and reportedly helping authorities with their ongoing investigation into the incident. She did, however, postpone a sold-out gig scheduled for Friday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and her 21st birthday party celebration set for Feb. 20 in New York.

Neither she nor Brown has publicly commented on the incident.

DJ Khaled was not involved in LA car chase.

2009-02-10T17:55:00.000-08:00

Rumor has it that DJ Khaled was involved in the LA car chase last night.

DJ Khaled released this statement on his myspace page, due to recent press and news reports I feel compelled to release a statement. Just to be clear I am in Miami, FL working on Rick Ross’ album, Deeper Than Rap. I am not in LA where there are reports that I have been in a police chase. These reports are completely false and unfounded.

For more than three hours, the driver of a luxury Bentley sedan led police on a low-speed car chase along some of Los Angeles' busiest freeways before shooting himself to death, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The driver of the $100,000-plus Bentley with Illinois plates was identified as a businessman of Pakistani origins, the newspaper says. No name was given.

The shooting occurred about an hour and a half after the suspect had finally stopped the car near the scene of an earlier alleged assault with a deadly weapon against his girlfriend, the Timessays. The man shot himself as police surrounded the car and later died at a hospital, the newspaper says.
