Arseino Hall Got Axed!

CBS Television announced the abrupt cancellation of Arsenio Hall's late night program.

You stand next to him, you're going down! The famous words of soon to be washed up celebrity Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson on the feud with Game (another soon to be washed up celebrity).

Well I guess when That Guy Who Helped Obama Win interviewed Arsenio Hall, it must have turned off a lot of his supporters. For you see, even with a great start, you can't survive if the ratings bar fails to move.

CBS Television announced the cancellation of The Arsenio Hall Show. After one season, the show which was distributed on many CW affiliates was given the ax. It failed to live up to the challenges of late night.

With David Letterman, Jimmy Fallion, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson leading the late night gig, Arsenio was supposed to be the return of the old guard.

CBS Television Production had previously announced Hall's syndicated show would be back for a second season, but faced the prospect of stations moving it to lesser time slots as ratings fell.

In a statement, Hall said he knew launching the show would be a challenge.

"I'm gratified for the year we've had and proud of the show we created," the actor and comedian added.

The show is in reruns and won't resume production, a show spokesman said. The last original episode aired May 21.

When Hall began his original series in 1989, he was seen as the cool alternative to Johnny Carson and "The Tonight Show" on NBC. Guests including sax playing-presidential candidate Bill Clinton helped push Hall into the spotlight.

By 1994, with increased competition from new "Tonight" host Jay Leno and CBS' David Letterman, Hall's ratings had slipped and the show ended.

When Hall returned last year, he was fighting for attention with even more programs, including ABC's Jimmy Kimmel and the Comedy Central lineup.

The cancellation of Hall's show returns the late-night talk show scene to almost uniformly white male hosts, with a few exceptions such as Tavis Smiley on PBS.

APPLE BEATS!

Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine sold Beats Audio to Apple. Jimmy Iovine will resign from Interscope.

As of today, Beats Audio is now part of the Apple.

In a historic move, Interscope CEO Jimmy Iovine and media mogul Dr. Dre will relinquish their role to join Apple for input on the next wave of creative products. This also means the end of an era for Iovine. He will leave the Interscope company he founded in the 1980s.

The announcement caps off weeks of speculation surrounding the deal, which will see Beats co-founders Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre join Apple to play an unspecified role. Apple will pay $2.6 billion in cash and $400 million in equity that will vest over time, the company said. "I've always known in my heart that Beats belonged with Apple," music mogul Iovine said in a statement. "The idea when we started the company was inspired by Apple's unmatched ability to marry culture and technology. Apple's deep commitment to music fans, artists, songwriters and the music industry is something special.

John Janick will now take over the role as leader for Interscope. Iovine will step down from his chairmanship after the end of June.

Interscope, A&M and Geffen are part of the umbrella that Iovine had control over. The label talents included Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Robin Thicke, The Black Eye Peas, Chief Keef, Madonna and Kendrick Lamar.

The American Suicide Bomber!

Could we see  a mass causality attack carried out by an American suicide bomber?

This week closes out with the death of an American suicide bomber blowing himself up in Syria.

The individual known as Abu Hurayra al-Amriki (Hummad The American), was one of the many individuals who blow himself up in the country. U.S. Intelligence reports that this individual was born in the United States and live a portion of his life in Florida.

Now the American intelligence agencies are determined that this event will not happen here.

Again, the nice guy is the most dangerous individual in the world. People who are bullied, rejected and often rejected by others will become delusional and find outlets to channel their rage.

Some may invest their time into doing things like find outlets like social groups. Others would find firearms and plans of bring utter chaos to those who didn't even cross the "nice guy's" path.

Regardless of the race, gender, sexuality, nationality, political or economic standings, the mentally insane or a terrorist will disrupt or permanently shock those with this dangerous behavior. They don't care who lives are affected, it's a matter of showing the world they mean business.

CNN reports that the truck was loaded with munitions, then driven up a hillside in northern Syria. Moments later, there was a massive blast followed by cries of "Allahu Akbar," or "God is great" in Arabic, and the rattling of gunfire.

The suicide attacker in the bombing depicted in this online video was an American jihadi, radical Islamists claiming responsibility for the blast have said.

Late Thursday, two U.S. officials confirmed their boast.

The man called by the nom de guerre Abu Hurayra Al-Amriki was a U.S. citizen, who grew up in Florida and went to school there.

Neither official would disclose the bomber's real name. Investigators are interviewing family members.

Al-Amriki is among a group of Americans whom intelligence agents have been trying to keep tabs on since they went to Syria some months ago to join extremists in the fight against the Syrian government.

Even if he clearly did not act alone, it is the man identified as Abu Hurayra who has gotten a lot of attention on websites and social media venues tied to radical Islamists.

That includes a tweet by a man with the handle Abu Suleiman al-Muhajer, whose bio identifies him as belonging to al Qaeda in the Levant, the umbrella organization for the al-Nusra Front. His tweet, which was published on the radical Islamist website Hanein, features the alleged American's picture and the words, "Abu Hurayra Al-Amriki performed a martyrdom operation in Idlib, Jabal Al-Arba'een. May Allah accept him."

U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials have expressed concerns about Americans joining the fight in Syria, including with groups like the jihadist al-Nusra Front. The worry is that they and other Westerners might pose a threat when they return a home.

"There's going to be a diaspora out of Syria," FBI Director James Comey said last week. "And we are determined not to let lines be drawn from Syria today to a future 9/11."

Carmen - Bizet

The Road That Led To West Kardashian!

She will always be known as Kim Kardashian. The controversial reality turd who gained fame from being Ray-J's first sex tape experience has married rap producer and entertainer Kanye West.

Her formal name is Kim Kardashian-West.

The two were married in a ceremony over in Italy. This being Mrs. West's third and Kanye's first.

They had a child earlier this year.

The evil paparazzi managed to leak out photos of the wedding. Nah, it's obtained from the E! Network.

The E! Network has a show called Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The show features that woman and her family.

My suspicions are growing about the possibility of the marriage being a sham. But I am just a hater and I don't care for both of them.

Anyway, I wish them well on their future.

Little sis, Khloe who is estranged from her dope head former NBA husband Lamar Odom went to the Instagram social network to show the proof.

Quote Of The Day

Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.

Maya Angelou Passes Away!

President Barack Obama offers the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Maya Angelou.

Breaking today, the famed poet and civil rights activist died today according to most sources.

Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Ann Johnson; April 4, 1928 – May 28, 2014. 

Maya Angelou was an American author and poet. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, and several books of poetry, and is credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning more than fifty years. She received dozens of awards and over thirty honorary doctoral degrees. Angelou is best known for her series of seven autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of seventeen, and brought her international recognition and acclaim.

She became a poet and writer after a series of occupations as a young adult, including fry cook, prostitute, night-club dancer and performer, cast-member of the opera Porgy and Bess, coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and journalist in Egypt and Ghana during the days of decolonization. She was an actor, writer, director, and producer of plays, movies, and public television programs. Since 1982, she taught at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where she holds the first lifetime Reynolds Professorship of American Studies. 

She was active in the Civil Rights movement, and worked with Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. Since the 1990s she made around eighty appearances a year on the lecture circuit, something she continued into her eighties. 

In 1993, Angelou recited her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" at President Bill Clinton's inauguration, the first poet to make an inaugural recitation since Robert Frost at John F. Kennedy's inauguration in 1961.

With the publication of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Angelou publicly discussed aspects of her personal life. She was respected as a spokesperson of black people and women, and her works have been considered a defense of black culture. Although attempts have been made to ban her books from some US libraries, her works are widely used in schools and universities worldwide. Angelou's major works have been labeled as autobiographical fiction, but many critics have characterized them as autobiographies. She made a deliberate attempt to challenge the common structure of the autobiography by critiquing, changing, and expanding the genre.

 Her books center on themes such as racism, identity, family, and travel. Angelou is best known for her autobiographies, but she is also an established poet, although her poems have received mixed reviews.

Angelou was found dead by her caretaker on the morning of May 28, 2014. She had reportedly been in bad health and had canceled recent scheduled appearances.
