Recent Bombings in Jakarta. The video is from the local television and not subbed or dubbed. It’s sad. The Ritz-Carlton and 5 minutes later the Marriott experienced blasts. So far at least 9 people are dead and at least 36 injured, according to local police and hospitals. In a country were the majority of the population is Muslim, did this really have to happen on a Friday (the most sacred of the week days in Islam)?
You know you’re big time… well when you’re 7′6” (2m29). But no seriously, when you can afford to buy your former basketball club. That’s just what Yao ming did when he purchased his former employer. Running the club will cost approximately $ 3 millions while Forbes estimated Yao’s income at $57 in 2008. Whatever Yao does I guess he’s doing it big.

You’ll find that I get on male athletes a lot for their nonsensical behavior. But you know what? FYI is an equal opportunity website. WNBA star Diana Taurasi has been suspended by her team after she was cited for driving under the influence (DUI). She faces 3 charges including extreme DUI. Extreme? Indeed, extreme lack of judgment!
Former Bronco Travis Henry was sentenced to 3 years in jail for financing a coaine drug ring. According to Henry, he needed the money for child support payments (he reportedly has at least 9 children by 9 different women). The judge said it was because he’s a “weed head”… Anyways it looks like the end of a long road marred by run-ins with the law.

These guys have gotten mad airplay, even cnn’s anderson 360 featured them last night. They have a bunch of auto-tuned videos. That’s probably the last I’ll say about it, cause i’m like jay-z…

Richard Jefferson, new member of the Spurs has the San Antonio blues. RJ ditched both fiancee and wedding guests when he decided to not show up for his own wedding. Thankfully, sources say that RJ was magnanimous enough to lend his ex, his black Amex Card to treat the guests to a night of fun. Dumped at the altar but gracious host.
I wonder if they played this track during that night of fun? Guess which song it is.
If we all thought like this kid, we would not be facing the financial crunch and the credit crisis the country is experiencing, lol!
Hey gotta admit, it’s a pretty good look. African Americans rule in Air Force 1, enough said!

I am an avid fan of the books but the movies have never quite fulfilled my expectations. I must keep it real though, based on the trailers, they seem to have done a great job with this latest installment of the “HP” movies. The plot was off the chain in the book! The movie might be worth a trip to the movies this week-end.
