X-Men 3

The mutants of ‘X-men’ are back, and their numbers continue to grow in the series’ third installment, due May 26. The most notable additions are ‘Frasier’ star Kelsey Grammar and new director Brett Ratner. Grammar goes from tailored to tattered for his role as a blue-haired strongman named Beast. Grammar says the series’ theme of alienation drew him to try a comic book flick.

Where is LaToya?

Go back in your memory banks to 1999, Destiny’s Child had just released “Writings On the Wall”, they were coming off of all the hits when out of nowhere they split up. Beyonce and Kelly stay and the La’s(LaToya and LaTavia), go there ways and make a group (Angel). Now come back to the presents when LaToya is making waves.

Longtime fans of Destiny’s Child can look forward to a February 2006 release from LeToya Luckett on Capitol Records. The long-anticipated album by Luckett, who was in the group from 1993 to 1999, will be preceded by the single “All Eyes on Me.”

Among the producers recruited for her self-titled project are Jermaine Dupri, Scott Storch, Sean Garrett, Jazze Pha, Just Blaze and Bryan-Michael Cox. Houston native Luckett is also joined by local rappers Mike Jones, Slim Thug, Paul Wall and Bun B. Luckett describes the sound as “hard R&B.”

“I will always be an R&B singer,” she says. “However, on this album I’m singing over hip-hop beats—things you would expect rappers to be on.”

Luckett, who will shortly shoot the “All” video, is also busy overseeing her Houston clothing store, Lady Elle. The 2-year-old outlet specializes in what Luckett calls “cute, girly stuff” including several denim lines.

Ya Heard


Its official wrestler Diamond Dallas Page has filed a federal lawsuit in Los Angeles against Jay-Z alleging trademark infringement for the unauthorized use of the “Diamond Cutter” sign that Page has used commercially since 1996.

Now ask yourself this is it really about the diamond cutter or is it about DDP’s lack of money. I’m gonna go ahead and call this I’m gonna say that Jay-Z is going to prevail, cuz there is a difference. Notice the fingers.

The Gotti Brothers were acquitted.

Word of the Week

December 6, 2005

Well being that I’m a Sophmore in high school they are trying to prepare us for the SAT, and they say vocabulary is very important so I came up with the idea to help reeducate America so everyweek we will learn a new word, a SAT word. The first word is:

verb-

1. To make shorter. See Synonyms at.
2. To reduce (a word or phrase) to a shorter form intended to represent the full form.
