Girl Fight!

A fued could be brewing between Pop divas Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. The bad blood stems from comments made by Christina during an interview with GQ.

"One time, we were at a party and I think she [Mariah] got really drunk, and she had just really derogatory things to say to me," Aguilera told the magazine. "But it was at that time that she had that breakdown, so she might have been very medicated."

"I had hoped that Christina was in a better place now than the last time I saw her, when she showed up uninvited at one of my parties and displayed questionable behavior. It is sad yet predictable that she would use my name at this time to reinvent past incidents for her promotional gain," "It is in my heart to forgive and I will keep her in my prayers." Mariah Carey shot back during an interview with Access Hollywood.

I don't see this going too far though, as Aguilera waved the white flag when contacted for comment.

"My intentions were not to upset Mariah with any statements that were published or taken out of context. I have all the respect in the world for her."

Yea, I would respect Mariah too...after she put up those numbers! It's obvious a persons power is in their sales, so I see Mariah having the obvious upper hand in this one, but I wouldn't mind seeing them take this all 12 rounds.

Baller Blockin

NY Knicks coach Larry Brown will swallow his pride [pictured] before accepting a buyout from the Knicks. The $25 million buyout offer, which is the rumored amount Brown will recieve from his $40 million paycheck, would be good money to walk away with, but Brown who takes pride in what he does, states he will not negotiate a buy out. The only way to get rid of Brown would be to fire him, which from what I hear is not possible, being that Larry Brown has a clause in his contract which states that he cannot be fired from his position, nor can he quit mid season. But who knows, these things change daily, I don't see Brown changing his stance, and look for the Knicks to come out swinging this year! Put my money where my mouth is.

Kobe x 3 =24?

LA Lakers franchise, Kobe Bryant has decided to let go of the number "8" he sports on his jersey. Beginning next season, Bryant will change his number to "24". This seems to be an omen of some kind, when players change their number. It didn't work for Jordan, but I see this as an evolution of some sort, Lakers might be a problem next year.

"No. 8 has been with me for a while obviously," Bryant told TNT. "I just felt it was time to move on and do something different. When I came back from Italy and I came to the States to play, the first number I selected was number 24. It is kind of a new beginning for me, and that's what the second half of my career is all about."

According to a survey conducted by the StrapHangers Campaign, New York City subways have gotten dirtier, with less than half meeting standards for interior cleansiness.

The 8th annual "subway shmutz" survey, found the E and M train-lines so dirty that more than 95 percent of their cars were found to have dirt-encrusted seats or floors. The survey, conducted on 22 subways lines, from Sept. 2nd to January 5th, took into account only the cleanliness of floors and seats, litter and graffiti are not considered. These inspections mirror those use by the Transit Agency's own inspectors.

The 4 line, was considered the cleaness (Brooklyn!!!), while the 1 line was considered most improved...I wonder if they took into account the number of train dwellers that live in these cars from day to day, cause that certainly has an affect on my commute.

Legendary boxer Roy Jones Jr (49-4, 38 KOs) has decided to dust off his gloves and return to the ring. Jones, who hasn't fought in 10 months, will make his return on July 29 when he faces "Prince" Badi Ajamu (25-2-1, 14 KOs) for the North American Boxing Organization's light heavyweight title at Qwest Arena in Boise, Idaho.

Even though Jones who has held titles in 4 respective divisions, was the best pound for pound fighter in his prime, he has lost his last 3 fights.

In My Opinion:

Roy Jones Jr, who's arguably the best entertainer in the Boxing world since Mike Tyson made his exit, can fight just for satisfaction, he has nothing left to prove. But reality sets in...He's been knocked out twice in his last three fights...And they weren't very pretty. This dude "Prince" Badi doesn't look like a push-over, but come on, only a fool would bet against Roy Jones right now. He still has enough left to make you lean back. He might be passed his prime but you can bet he'll put on a show worth your money!

In my lovely opinion, I see Barry Bonds breaking Babe Ruths record of 714 home runs, and voluntarily not breaking Hank Aaron's record. Result? Two African-Americans at the top of Major League Baseball's homerun record. Not trying to open old wounds, but after everything African-Americans experienced just to be able to play the sport on a professional level, I can't be mad at Barry.

School officials have officially banned the website, citing many reasons including, teens threatening each other, making fun of teachers and principals, and a major issue is that a few teenage females have been caught taking pictures in bikini's and thongs. These people don't miss a beat. Seems obvious that the more you try to restrict something, the higher the demand for that service is, so why are they making such a huge deal over this?

Sony corp, the world's largest maker of video-game systems, will finally unveil its next console, PS3 (PlayStation 3) today at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

Six men were shot yesterday in Brooklyn in four seperate incidents that left two men dead, and 4 others in the hospital.

A 19-year old was fatally shot last night at around 10p.m. as he stood outside. Two men riding on bicycles opened fire at Sterling Place and Nostrand. The victim was taken to Kings County Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A half-hour earlier, a 17-year old and an 18-year old were shot on East 105th. As of press time, both victims were reported in stable condition.

Less than a quarter mile away, a 16 and 19-year old were also shot, and taken to the hospital and listed in stable condition. In a seperate incident, at about 7:30pm, a 27-year old man was shot while arguing with a group of other men. The 27-year old, identified as Jamal Ford, was shot in the head and chest and pronounced dead on arrival at Brookdale Hospital.

Not surprisingly, NO arrests were made. This puts alot of pressure on the NYPD, who recently began setting up cameras all over Brooklyn neighborhoods. As a Brooklyn resident, I can feel it in the air. This summer's going to be HOT, and I ain't talking about the weather.

Both fighters are coming out of retirement and hope to capitalize off the publicity. Mayorga recently threatened to pull out of the fight, stating he was unhappy with his share of the purse, but took back his words and says he will fight. I say this is over in 8 rounds, with De La Hoya catching a charlie horse and falling to the canvas, moaning in pain.

Researchers have identified a new type of cricket in caves in Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument in northwestern Arizona. The rare discovery was made by Northern Arizona University doctoral candidate J. Judson Wynne and National Park Service researcher Kyle Voyles.

The new found cricket-relative has yet to be named. Researchers hope to learn of its habits and reproduction cycle. Interestingly out of 1,000 known caves in Arizona, only 3 percent have been thoroughly analyzed by Biologists...maybe that's where Bin Ladens hiding?...

Breaking News: Moussaoui sentenced to life

A federal jury has decided that Zacarias Moussaoui should spend the rest of his life in jail. Moussaoui is the first person convicted in the WTC attacks. Although he was behind bars on September 11th, he pleaded guilty last year to terrorism conspiracy.

During the trials month long penalty phase, jurors heard the doomed voices of office workers inside the World Trade Center calling 911 for help and listened to the first public playing of the cockpit voice recorder of United Airlines Flight 93.

"America, you lost," Moussaoui stated, clapping his hands as he left the courtroom. "I won." Moussaoui will be formally sentenced tomorow at 10am.

David Blaine invades NY

Thrill-seeking magician David Blaine's latest stunt, takes place in an 8-foot water bubble. He is expected to stay in there for a week, supported by an oxygen tube and is featured at the Lincoln Center. In a week, he will remove the tube and attempt to hold his breath longer than the record of 8 minutes 58 seconds.

He also will try to escape from 150 pounds of chains and handcuffs during the breath-holding finale, which will air live in a two-hour ABC special, "David Blaine: Drowned Alive," on May 8 (8 p.m. EDT).

If you're curious, he will be fed and relieve himself through tubes. The water is crystal clear so come by at a right time and maybe you can catch him making bathroom faces...

Below the Border

A bloody new pc video game, called Border Patrol is stirring a lot of unneeded controversy within the Mexican community. The timing couldn't be worst for an immature stunt like this; at a time when illegal immigrants are trying to come to terms with the government.

The game encourages players to kill "Mexican nationalist", "drug smuggler" and "breeder" (pregnant woman with two children). It's also very violent, as blood splatters after each kill. Though in a very sensitive state, we shouldn't allow pranks like this to alter our missions or opinions. For research purposes, the game can be downloaded here.
