SEX TAPE:Former Miss Universe contestant Anya Ayoung-Chee gets exposed
November 11, 2009 by Mike Monty
Filed under Celebrity Gossip, Entertainment, Featured, Interesting News, Videos
With all the talk and leaks of personal sex tapes you would think that people would get smarter about it and just leave the camera off.
Sad to say… People just don’t get it. Former Miss Universe contest, Anya Ayoung-Chee supposedly has a sex tape out. I’ve got to say it looks like her, but since i have not met her face to face, i can’t say for sure.
According to Wikipedia, Anya was born in Trinidad and is of Chinese, Indian and Caucasian decent. We won’t post the video here, but here is a link here.
Let’s not take away her accomplishments. As said on the wiki page, ”
From 2003 to the present Anya has been a member of the TallMan Foundation which was established by her family for the empowerment of young people in underprivileged areas.
In 2008 the United Nations Association of Trinidad and Tobago (UNATT), asked both Anya and Gabrielle Walcott to be spokeswomen and champions for the fledging group. Both young women emphatically accepted the championship during their reign. UNATT the NGO arm of the United Nations which aims to advocate the United Nations and the Millennium Development Goals through their demographic and age group.”

What does Freedom of Speech mean to you?
September 1, 2009 by Mike Monty
Filed under Editorial
Freedom of Speech, Racism, Political Correctness.
Three very touchy subjects to most people, but really a fine line in the entertainment world.
This week L.A. Gay activists finally managed to get AEG and Live Nation to pull the plug on the Buju Banton concerts. Now for those of you living under a rock, the whole Buju Banton uproar began with Gay Rights activists started protesting the lyrical content of his songs, some of which called for violence against Gays. In particular go look up the lyrics for “Boom Bye Bye”. Now while Buju Banton is not the only Jamaican Dancehall performer, or let’s just say performer in general, to have such lyrics ( and will not be the last), it certainly at times does seem that he’s the poster boy for gay bashing lyrics.
Now as anyone, who has been listening or following the Dancehall music world, would know, Buju has changed his lyrical style and is now more into the Rastafarian/Spiritual or “Conscious” (as they call it) type of music. So why then are the Gay activists still trying to block him? Are the organizations for Violence against women going to call for the cancellation of Chris Brown concerts? Or why did people not totally boycott Amy Whinehouse?
Please, do not for one second think that I condone violence against Gays or anyone as a matter of fact, but I do think that that people take stances that they support when it suits them.
For example, why is it acceptable for a black comic to make jokes about a white person in the audience, yet it’s extremely racist if a white person singles out a black audience member?
Why is it that a fuss is made about scenes with Ken Jeong’s character in both “The Hangover” and “The Goods”, Yet the depiction of blacks in some Asian cartoons/Anime(look at Dragonball z) with big lips other stereotypical features does not make the same group complaining bat an eye?
So after drifting let’s get back on track. What does freedom of speech mean to you? Why is it that we say it’s freedom of speech to protest against something that someone says (point in case Buju), yet Buju should not have the right to also have Freedom of speech to his “opinion” of the gay lifestyle.
Again, I am in no way condoning his lyrics, nor am i saying the scene from “The Goods” should not be protested, but it does at time seem hypocritical that Freedom of Speech is ok when it supports your views but not others. I think that before you start protesting, that you look back at yourself and see what you yourself condone. Maybe you should also start marching and protesting against more than just your personal interest.
Now let me stop writing before i start on Al Sharpton!

Chris Brown issues a statement
February 15, 2009 by John Anderson
Filed under Celebrity Gossip, Featured
Today Chris Brown finally released a statement relating to the alleged assault.
Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person.
Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong.
While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else.
Those posts or writings under my name are frauds.
As to updates on Rihanna, Ronald Fenty (her father) said she is recovering from her injuries in Barbados, where she is from, and claimed she will speak out about the incident soon.
He told The Sun:
There is some bruising. She will be alright. I think so.
At some point she will speak out.
I hope she will stand up for women all over the world.
Mr Fenty, said Rihanna will not even speak to Brown following the alleged assault. He said:
“The relationship is over and I am pleased. She doesn’t want to speak to Chris. She is being very brave about things and said that she will be back on stage performing soon.”

What the Hell was going on with Joaquin Phoenix
February 12, 2009 by Mike Monty
Filed under Entertainment, Featured, Interesting News, Videos
Did anyone see the David Letterman Show lastnight?
“Former” movie star Joaquin Phoenix mad one hell of a bizarre appearance on the Letterman show last night and boy was he looking (and acting) high!
Phoenix was, virtually unresponsive at time, mumbling about his “rapping”, chewing gum, and just flat out almost ignoring David. There were times i looked as though he was in a world by himself or maybe he just fell asleep.
You could actually see how insulted Dave was and he ended the interview by saying, “Joaquin, I’m sorry you couldn’t be here tonight”.
I don’t know if Joaquin has or is developing a drug problem or if this is part of some elaborate prank but if it is a drug problem someone needs to step in and get him some help. If it’s really a joke…..the gigs up dude. It’s time to get a shave, take a shower, get rid of the gum and kick Diddy to the curb……
If i hear that Joaquin shows up on the new season of “Making of the Band” i’ll pesonally start the mob to burn as many of his DVD’s as possible.

So what if Michael Phelps smoked a little grass?
February 3, 2009 by Mike Monty
Filed under Featured, Interesting News
I know that people want to talk about how Michael Phelps is supposed to be a role model and that kids look up to him and all that.
But what the hell is the big deal. Time and time again we have “people” tell us that Marijuana use rots the brain, kills brain cells, is a gateway drug to other harsh stuff, and use of it makes you dumb.
I don’t think so. Come on.
The International Olympic Committee expressed confidence yesterday that Michael Phelps will learn from his “inappropriate behavior” and continue to serve as a role model after a British newspaper published a photo of him inhaling from a marijuana pipe. Phelps, who won a record eight swimming gold medals at last year’s Beijing Olympics, apologized and acknowledged “regrettable behavior” after the picture was published on Sunday by the tabloid News of the World.

Peta ad banned from the superbowl
January 27, 2009 by Mike Monty
Filed under Entertainment, Featured, Interesting News
Well it’s not totally banned, since every website and blog is currently running it.
Seems like NBC is very touch about what shows during the superbowl, so they are pulling the plug on Peta’s Veggie Love Ad suggesting that the ad was too sexy and suggestive.
Well just in case you don’t get to see it on tv, it’s here for you.
‘Veggie Love’: PETA’s Banned Super Bowl Ad
According to PETA spokesperson Michael McGraw, the animal rights group was sent an email from NBC standards that took issue with the suggestive produce poses.
“It’s ridiculous that this commercial was banned from NBC,” McGraw told Access “Sure, it’s sexy, sure it’s provocative… [But], the bottom line for this ad was that studies show that vegetarians have better sex.”
After watching that, you’d think a woman in her underwear playing with a pumpkin, is the least problematic part of that commercial.

Pleasant Bridgewater on bail in the Trovolta Extortion case
January 24, 2009 by Mike Monty
Filed under Interesting News, Politics
A Bahamas senator accused of trying to extort money from actor John Travolta after his son’s death resigned on Saturday and vowed to prove her innocence.
Sen. Pleasant Bridgewater, an attorney from Grand Bahama, said she plans to fight “untrue and unfair charges” stemming from actions she took as a lawyer.
“How these innocent actions can be so misconstrued, so perversely twisted to mean something other than it was, is a mystery,” she said without providing more details.
Travolta filed a complaint of attempted extortion, but authorities did not reveal details of the allegations.
The plot was related to the circumstances surrounding Jett Travolta’s death and photos weren’t involved, TMZ reported Saturday.
Travolta had filed a complaint of attempted extortion, according to police, but did not release any details of the alleged plot. The actor and his wife Kelly Preston have returned home to Florida with the ashes of their 16-year-old, chronically ill son, Jett, who died of a seizure this month at their family vacation home on Grand Bahama.
Authorities arrested Bridgewater Thursday on charges of abetment to extort and conspiracy to extort. She was released Friday on $40,000 bail.
The leader of Bridgewater’s opposition party, former Prime Minister Perry Christie, said in a statement that he regrets the turn of events and accepted Bridgewater’s resignation.
“I believe that this is the right and appropriate thing to do in these most unfortunate circumstances,” Christie said.
Police also had detained ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne and former tourism minister Obie Wilchcombe. Lightbourne is still in custody but Wilchcombe has since been released pending further investigation. The parliamentarian has described himself as a friend of Travolta who was with the actor shortly after his son died.
Tabloids earlier had quoted Lightbourne on his efforts to revive Travolta’s son.
Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Marvin Dames said that Lightbourne was wanted for attempted extortion. He has not been charged.
Jett’s body was cremated in the Bahamas and his ashes were returned to Florida, where a memorial service was held near the family home near Ocala.
Jett was the only son of 54-year-old film star John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, 46. The couple also has an eight-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu.
