We know you’ve been losing sleep wondering what MC Hammer’s been up to, since he danced his way into our hearts back in the 1990s, became a pop star, then went broke. Well, Hammer’s headed to Silicon Valley to give YouTube a run for their money with his own web sited called DanceJam.com, where folks like you can upload and watch dance videos. The site debuted in January. More than 10 years ago, Hammer filed for bankrupty, $14 million in debt! Hope he can make that dough back. Could Hammer be the comeback story of 2008?
Where are the “America’s Next Top Model” fans? Wondering what Nik Pace has been up to? Here’s the Cycle 5 runner-up with J. Holiday at a party she hosted for the New York Giants recently.
Does she have a knot on her forehead? I hate when that happens! Anyway, I’m sure Nik’s doing more with her career than hosting parties for the NFL. Damn, I hope so. She certainly got robbed out of a “Top Model” title.
Grab your shades, if you must. Here’s forever-flashy Slick Rick in all his blingyness at a party in ATL over the weekend. According to TMZ, Mr. Rick is donning a diamond-encrusted eye patch, diamond rings, necklaces and pendants and a diamond watch. Oh the glare, the glare!!!
This recent picture of Jasmine Guy, best known as Whitley from “A Different World,” apparently sparked online conversations about how poorly the 45-year-old actress is aging. Kind of unfair, I think. She clearly has on no makeup, and her hair isn’t perfectly coiffed like many are used to seeing. Give a sister a break.
