OpenEntrance - What’s Really Going OnWhat’s Really Going On

Over a month ago I remember watching CNN about the Presidential Race and they had several Black Leaders on the show discussing how they were not supporting Barack Obama or were not going to support him. At the time, I just thought it was part of political strategy and that they would come around. Now I am not so sure.

 Recently, Al Sharpton has continued to rip Barack Obama. Sharpton said:

“Obama never did anything for the community, never worked with anybody from the community, that nobody knows the people around him, that he’s a candidate driven by white leadership,”

Some suspect that Al Sharpton wanted to run for waste his time with the Presidential campaign in 2008. Nobody voted for him before and less would now.

People close to Sharpton say, “It’s driving Al crazy that Obama is as impressive and popular as he is, and he’s not happy about it. Sharpton is just terrified of being overshadowed by someone of Obama’s class and character.”

Too Late. 

I will not sit here and rip Sharpton, but he needs to stop trippin. How can Sharpton claim to have African-American interests at heart and then not support the best candidate we have had. He must put his ego aside and do what is right.

Am I missing something or is Al trippin?

There is a good discussion about Barack Obama’s candidacy on a previous post here. 

 Kim Kardashian walked the red carpet and Modeled in the Dash 2007 Fashion show that introduced her clothing line. As usual her sidekicks sisters were also at the event. This was just one of the many events of a busy Mercedez Benz Fashion Week. 

 Kimora Lee Simmons used Kim Kardashian as one of the models to display her new KLS clothing line at Mercedez-Benz Fashion week. I think Kimora may be a full foot taller than Kim.

This was a bit of a shocker. Raphael Saadiq and Joss Stone made a public appearance as a couple this weekend.
They have been working together on Joss Stone’s third album, “Introducing Joss Stone,” which is set to release March 20th. Stone is 19 and Saadiq is 41.

They are pictured together naked inside of her new album cover.

Here is one of the videos they worked on together, Tell Me Bout It

Why did no one show up for the Soul Train Awards? Many of the award winners were not in attendance to accept their prize. This included Jay-Z, Beyonce, Mary J. Blig, and John Legend.

      Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson was in the house to receive her pre-announced Entertainer of the Year honor.

The Show was hosted by Letoya Luckett and Omarion.

      The press room at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium was also a virtual ghost town, as many of the celebs who showed up to Saturday’s ceremony did not come backstage for interviews, including Hudson, and fellow Soul Train honorees Jermaine Dupri and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. But, the “Chicken Noodle Soup” duo, Webstar and Young B, came back to discuss their prize for Best Dance Cut.

                The 21st annual Soul Train Music Awards will be broadcast in national syndication from March 17 through March 24.
