T.E.N. Entertainment News, aka-Mixed Bag O’ Stuff

I got some of everything to talk aboot. So, I'll just gwon get started:





*The Jacksons Today* This is what I picked up from a rather reliable site:

*Marlon Jackson, 51, an original Jackson Five member who stocks shelves at a Vons supermarket in San Diego, had to temporarily move into an extended-stay hotel.

*Randy, 46, does odd jobs, including fixing cars in a Los Angeles garage owned by a family friend. He recently claimed Michael was going to give him $1.7 million - "a pipe dream," said another brother last week.

*Jackie, 56, the oldest and most debonair of the brothers, is struggling to manage his son Siggy's aspiring rap career after an Internet clothing business startup and attempts to produce music failed.

*Jermaine, 54, shuttles back and forth from his girlfriend's home in Ventura County, Calif., to his parents' mansion in Encino, where Jackie and Randy still live.

*Tito, 55, is the only brother still making music, but it's a meager living. The guitarist fronts a blues and jazz band that plays small venues and nets him $500 and $1,500 per occasional gig - a far cry from the days when the Jacksons could pull in 50,000 people at $30 a ticket.

*Joseph Jackson, 79, spends most of his waking hours conjuring up schemes he hopes will replenish a bank account that once had more money than the FDIC cared to insure. Peddling musical girl groups in Las Vegas and a book about his family in Germany, Joseph, despite evidence to the contrary, is not convinced that time and the music industry have passed him by.

I know I left out the Jackson women and Michael, but I think they're doing okay.





*Ford CEO offers a pay cut* Dude said that if he gets a bailout from the government, he would take a $1 salary until things get back right. Big whoop. Notice he didn't say he'd sell some of his stocks back, forgo some perks, or lower his retirement funds. I hate heem.






*Debarge Family Update* (This came from Jet Magazine if you haven't read it).

*James has four kids now. Nobody has said that one isn't from Janet

*Bobby (Switch) died of AIDS in 1995. ,

*Tommy is on kidney dialysis and has to support nine children.

*Randy has five children and has an "incurable disease" (not AIDS)

*Bunny survived the loss of one of her breasts and breast cancer and drug addiction.

*Mark, who also has five kids, has chronic debilitation in his legs and walks with a cane or crutches.

*El, is struggling to support 15 children from three different marriages.

*Chico, has five kids and is currently working on a new CD.






*Lindsay is still gay* Well, her exact words were that she and Sam haven't broken up. Therefore, she's still gay. See how I cut to the chase, but you got lost!





*MIA needed this baby* Apparently, MIA, aka-Mathangi Arulpragasam, said that being pregnant has made her "less angry". I don't know how to take that comment, so I'll just get up and walk towards the left for a minute.





*More About them Bitches* Heidi and Spencer are still parading how married and happy they are...except for the fact that the marriage wasn't legal. Yeap, they are "married in spirit" but MTV will chronicle the whole thing. For this to have been an "ELOPEMENT", it sure seems as if they had a camera crew on hand...






*Advertisement* This is Hai Karate. Who wants a gift pack?!?






*Flashback* This is Countess Vaughn. There is some dispute as to how old this pic is, but then again, it is still a tad different than the Countess we know. Her shoes too big though.





*And...* William Balfour has officially been arrested in the murder of Jennifer Hudson's mom, brother and nephew. I hope his ass rots.

Well, that's all I got for now. I'm still looking for a joint to rent, so shoot me some ideas so I won't blow up my current complex.

BYE!

Why I Decided On Surgery..De-Fat Posting

Okay so this is going to be one of those posts that will result in somebody being butthurt.  I have no earthly idea why because it means said butthurt soul would be that way for something unrelated to them. Yes, I have had Gastric Bypass Surgery...and no, I do not regret it one bit.  I also don't think it's up to anyone to tell me the following (in a completely unsolicited manner): *Who had it and regretted it *Who had it and had a gang of wrinkles, extra skin or whatnot *What they think of people who have weight loss surgery Why? Because... Yes, these memes help me be a snarky bastard yet keep the mood light. Before I go any further, I am not a jerque.  I am not someone who walks around with a perpetual attitude and my nose turned up at everyone.  I don't have disdain for people's opinions and I do accept that I am not the only person in the world.  I can discuss things and be okay if you don't roll with me.  But what

Depressed, Compressed, Oppressed, Suppressed, Damn Pressed.

I been battling depression the last month, yall. I haven't really had any motivation. I've spent the last thuddy days aggressively applying for job after job. I only got on my computer for applying. I've tried everything from receptionist to material handler and nothing has worked. I found myself getting angry. I began getting offended. I channeled my David Ruffin a la Temptations Movie and began yelling "YOU UNGRATEFUL SONS OF BITCHES" at rejection emails. I got bitter. I began feeling the urge to reply to the individuals who told me that "my experience was impressive" but they found someone "whose experience more closely matched" doing exactly what I did at my old gig. I drove up to one place that famously had me waiting FOUR HOURS only to have the owner interview someone who came in later than I did and pass me on to the other admin assistant...and fought the urge to go in and ask for him. Oh yes, children..heffer was GUN hot. Then I r

De-Fat Journey Thoughts for 7/9/12

Image
I need my ass WHOOPED for the last five days!!! I know I didn't do right. I feel kind of bad because I wasn't intending on being as sedentary on the holiday week.  I threw down the last three days on the fie barbecue, had some brownies, drank a gang of tea...UGH! Honestly, I'm alternating between emotions right now.  Do I get on my own ass for not doing right or do I applaud myself for progress thus far?  Do I acknowledge that 20 pounds of weight lost is great or do I get mad that it's not more? Well..I will not allow myself to go back to a slump about this.  I know I want to do more, and I know that I'm gathering more info to do better.  So I will give myself a shout out for still having the desire to work out and live better. Since I have never been on this type of journey before, it's still processing for me.  I have to fight the mental mind...in short, I have to be mindful that progress is progress...even if it isn't what I want it to be.
