Black Or White?!

A perplexing new chapter is unfolding in Barack Obama's racial saga: Many people insist that "the first black president" is actually not black.

Debate over whether to call this son of a white Kansan and a black Kenyan biracial, African-American, mixed-race, half-and-half, multiracial — or, in Obama's own words, a "mutt" — has reached a crescendo since Obama's election shattered assumptions about race.

Obama has said, "I identify as African-American — that's how I'm treated and that's how I'm viewed. I'm proud of it." In other words, the world gave Obama no choice but to be black, and he was happy to oblige.

But the world has changed since the young Obama found his place in it.

Intermarriage and the decline of racism are dissolving ancient definitions. The candidate Obama, in achieving what many thought impossible, was treated differently from previous black generations. And many white and mixed-race people now view President-elect Obama as something other than black.

So what now for racial categories born of a time when those from far-off lands were property rather than people, or enemy instead of family?

Debate over. He's black. We take him and Mariah.

The end!

Bettie Page: R.I.P.

Bettie Page, a 1950s pinup model who helped set the stage for the 1960s sexual revolution, has died. She was 85.

Her agent Mark Roesler says Page died Thursday night at a Los Angeles hospital after suffering a heart attack nine days ago. He says she never regained consciousness.

Page attracted national attention with magazine photographs of her sensuous figure in bikinis and see-through lingerie that were quickly tacked up on walls across the country. Her photos included a centerfold in the January 1955 issue of then-fledgling Playboy magazine, as well as controversial sadomasochistic poses.

Roesler says Page had been hospitalized for three weeks with pneumonia and was about to be released when she suffered the heart attack Dec. 2.

Vertigo My Ass!

Celebrity snitches are dishing that forty year old Pop/R&B idol Janet Jackson is showing signs of pregnancy.

J.J is currently working on Tyler Perry’s upcoming feature film “Why Did I Get Married?” and there are whispers on the set that Ms. Jackson If Ya Nasty has a bun in the oven:

“Everyone on the set is whispering about it … Janet only found out 3 weeks ago when she took the film’s [mandatory physical exam]. We’re all pretty excited,” dishes an on-set tattle.

The tipster also spilled that Janet’s management team is working to have her filming schedule re-adjusted.

“They’re apparently trying to get things wrapped up for Janet as soon as possible … it’s getting really inconvenient - but I don’t care. I just want her to have a healthy baby.”


And the Jackson drama continues...

J-Hud Back To Work

Jennifer Hudson will return to work next week to begin filming a video for her new single "If It Isn't Love," according to her label, J Records.


The singer was preparing to film the video in Los Angeles when her mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were discovered shot to death in their Chicago home on the city's South Side on Oct. 24. The body of her nephew, 7-year-old Julian King, was found in a sport utility vehicle three days later.


Hudson has kept out of the public eye since the murders, but she has issued statements periodically thanking the public for their support. Last week, she released a statement after she was nominated for four Grammy awards, including best R&B album for her self-titled debut.

"It's been a childhood dream of mine to release an album, so to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing," she said. "I am extremely honored and humbled by the nominations."

Best wishes to Miss Hudson and the rest of her family.
