National HBCU Week

President Barack Obama has declared this week the National Historically Black Colleges & University week.

"...NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim August 30 through September 5, 2009, as National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week. I call upon public officials, educators, and all the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that acknowledge the tremendous

As a proud student of an HBCU I am happy that we are finally gettting the recognition that we deserve.

Thank You Mr. President.

Sweet Pic of the Week

Chris Speaks Out

Chris Brown will be having his first official interview with Larry King on CNN Wednesday night at 9 p.m.eastern. CNN released two 30-second previews of the interview with Brown and his mother:



Chris recently released a statement about the previews that CNN released stating:

"There have been reports on the Internet that I didn't remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight.

That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like 4 or 5 times -- and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.

The first four times or how ever many times it was - I gave the same answer -- which was that I didn't think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn't fair to Rihanna. The fifth time or whatever it was I just misspoke. I was asked, "Do you remember doing it?" and I said, "No."

Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur. And yes, I still can't believe it happened because it is not me or who I am or is what happened like anything I have ever done before.

As I have said several times previously, I am ashamed of and sorry for what happened that night and I wish I could relive that moment and change things, but I can't. I take full responsibility for my actions. What I have to do now is to prove to the world that this was an isolated incident and that is not who I am and I intend to do so by my behavior now and in the future."

-Chris Brown

Be sure to tune in to Larry King Live tonight at 9 p.m eastern to see the full interview.

Jay Z Speaks About Album Leak

MTV Shows

I refuse to listen to any of the leaked tracks from the album. I plan on supporting Jay Z and buying the album the day it drops.

In Case You Missed It...

Over the weekend the Miss Universe Awards took place in Nassau, Bahamas crowning the very young & very beautiful Miss Venezuela. This is the second year in a row that the country has taken this award. So congrats to them, but that was hardly the most important news from the ceremony. Heidi Montag stole the show with her first ever live performance debuting her new single "Body Language".
Here's the video of her live performance.



This was horrible! But I will give Mrs. Pratt an "A" for effort. It took a lot of courage to go out there and perform for millions of people watching in the world but why did she lip sync!? Come on Heidi. smh... Good Try though.

New Music

A new track has been released from Drake's upcoming album. The track is called "Forever". The song features Kanye, Lil Wayne, and Eminem. The song is definitly sweet! I love it. What about you sweeties?! Are you all liking it? I think Drake killed it as usual and it Kanye's verse is funny.

One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.
