Oprah Donates 365,000 big ones to Atlanta school

Oprah never ceases to amaze me. first with her show, which i use to watch religiously at 4pm until life got to hectic and then to the magazine and network. it doesn't surprise me that Oprah has made headlines again this time with her large donation (365,000 dollars to be exact) to an inner-city Atlanta school. the school was opened in 2007 and is located in one of the poorest neighborhoods in ATL. according to an article on datzhott.com via Global Grind, it costs 14,000 a year for a student to attend to the private school. not to mention that that school gets most of their funding from private donors. the money donated by Winfrey will go towards scholarships and pay for 26 students to attend the school for a year.

now tell me now that Oprah isn't amazing! this makes me want to sing that Tina Turner song that goes, "ever in your wildest dreams..."

New Music from Prince for the New Year

i didn't become a big fan of Prince until i heard Ginuwine's cover of "When Doves Cry," off of his The Bachelor CD. it was then that i had to go hear the original version. My cousin was a very big Prince fan and had almost every single Prince record possible and believe me, there are a ton of them!

well, word on Yahoo! News this morning that was Prince is planning on releasing three albums in 2009. Two of those records will be titled MPLSound and Lotus Flowers, which according to the article is an "electro-pop effort."

well, i'm really excited. the last Prince CD i bought was Musicology and i'll be honest and say that i didn't listen to all of it, but what i did hear, i did like. especially his single, Call My Name.

Racy Rihanna photo...

so this picture of Rihanna is from dahiphopcorp.com via Global Grind and of course the main headline was, "is Rihanna gay?" well, I'll be honest and say that I'm not posting this to ask that question because i really could care less, but i still feel like someone is going to say something about it. just share your thoughts...

(say in kanYe's voice as on the remix).

Celeb of the Day: Neffe

i honestly believe that Keyshia Cole's sister Neffe and Frankie should have their own show. I'm going to be honest and say that i don't even watch The Way It Is to see Keyshia anymore. i watch it to catch up on what is going on with Neffe and Frankie. so with that being said, Neffe is celeb of the day!
