So Halle Berry is serious about releasing an album?! I heard the rumor from C&L a few weeks ago that Halle was thinking of recording an album. My reaction was that Halle needs to focus on improving her acting before trying to record an album. I guess my advice wasn't heeded because the proposed track list was released. 1. "Miss Sexy" (Scott Storch) 2. "No Problem" (Timbaland, S.G. Jarard) 3. "Sunshine" (GiGi Franklin, Harold Jennings) 4. "How You Been?" (featuring Jamie Foxx, G. Thompson) 5. "Like That" (Scott Storch) 6. "Around" (Cee-Lo) 7. "Lazy" (featuring Lupe Fiasco,J. Crew Productions, Kundei Supormorgei) 8. "Your Love Is Always Good" (Timbaland) 9. "Not Today (I'm Not In The Mood)" (Jason Jackson, Jackie Jackson, GiGi Franklin) 10. "Write Me" (Scott Storch) 11. "Love & Emotions" (Robin Thicke) 12. "Singing To You (G. Thompson) 13. "Go Left (featuring Bun B, Timbaland) SOURCE:HHNLive
Beyonce and Jay took time out to catch a Nets game. What's up with the weave? More evidence that Mama Knowles needs to be fired. Do they ever make eye contact?
And Kate Moss took some time out from visiting her boyfriend in Rehab. Too bad it was just to buy some incredibly small shorts for herself. Ohh, I think she may need a smaller size.
And the talented artist at prettyontheoutside made some fantastic celebrity holiday cards.
This is my last update for 2006. Since most people are making their list and checking it twice, I thought I would do the same. My list is of the best, juiciest, cattiest, gossip this year.
The Apple Did Not Fall To Far From The Tree Bobbie Kristina and Justin Combs were found on MySpace. Bobbie looked just as crazy as her parents posing pool side. Meanwhile Justin Combs found his page deleted soon afterwards. Famewhore Jr. Its Raining Divorce Early in the year we had Russell Simmons and that guy, Brit and K-Flop, Paul McCartney and Stumpy. Best of all, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. Next week I am getting a satellite hooked up so I should get all the goodies via Court TV.
Crossing The Tracks We all knew there was no way Kate Moss could keep so thin just by refusing to eat. Now we all know her wonderful secret, heroin. Together with some homeless looking guy, she was busted via phone camera. Like many people, she was given a second chance to clean up and get her life on the right tracks. She dumped that guy and moved on the brighter and better things, then we all woke up.
Dropped The Soap Poor DMX, first he was born with that ugly mug, then he fell in love with that guy. He became hooked on drugs, sold a bunch of albums then went crazy for a moment. Got out of jail and was raped by some woman. The woman went on to have his child and we all pointed and laughed at his coke head lies.
Wishing On A Star She went on her way, Star Jones announced she was leaving the View before they would put together some cheese ass clip show send off. It was a long time coming, the fans of the show did not like her. She was ridiculed by the press and public for her wedding antics. Gossip blogs said her new husband was gay. Over night many deals appear at her door step, then they were sent back to be returned to their rightful owners. Knock Knock! Who's There? A Bad Joke Andy Dick was high and started licking the crew of ST:TOS. O'Donnell rants about how some coffee show chick did not want to catch the gay from some gay guy then she tells her own racist joke. Micheal Richards flips out then runs to some tried blowhole to cover his tracks. And Carrot Top, he is still with us folks.
Victoria Does Not Have A Secret Oh my, I forgot my panties! That was just nasty to see, lets move on...
Cursed and Gifted Stuck up, talented, Hot Headed and getting sued. It has been a whirlwind year for Kanya West. I hope he keeps up the good work but cools down on the “I am the best” crap. Rehashing old samples at chipmunk speed is not all that Mr. West.
What? I did not say it would be a top 10, just a list. Now that I have this bitter taste of celebrity in my mouth I need to see something nice and sweet. So I leave you all with a video of a bird. But not just any bird, watch it to the end to find out why it is so special. Until 2007 good eating and good health! And don't forgot to cast your vote for the Web Awards

To be honest I don’t have much to report. With it being the holiday season, things are a bit slow in gossip land. Quick Bites: Erik Estrada and Latoya Jackson are training to become cops- CNN Christina Aguilera and her husband may be headed to splitsville- DListed
In other news, I went to the John Legend concert last night in Amsterdam. Great show although John seemed a bit tired. Plus, he keep pronouncing Amsterdam very strange. I love it when an artist sounds great live without the need of playback vocals. From this day forward, I’m going to have separate categories for performers. There will be vocalist and vocal stylists. Vocalist will be classified as people that can actually sing: John Legend, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, and others whom escape my mind at this very moment. And a vocal stylist will be classified as someone who may be able to sing a little but needs a lot of help from good production and playback vocals: Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Kelis, and everyone else.
Here are some pictures of last night's show Opening the show.
Working up a sweat
Get ready for the first annual Desperately Fabulous Web Awards! If People Magazine can make up awards, then damn it so can we!

Wow 2007 may be the year that Angelina Jolie comes off my banishment list. The woman still can't act her way out of a paper bag but boy is she beautiful. on Larry King promoting her new movie "The Good Shepard". Source: Just Jared.
Her contract for this movie must demand a lot of promotion because that Rag/PR piece People named Brangelina and crew 'Family of the Year'. Just a few questions for People: Why the Jolie-Pitts? Why not Will and Jada? Or Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson? Or even Seal and Heidi Klum? And what was the criteria for this "award"? Asked which of the three kids rules the Jolie-Pitt roost, she says, "I bet if you asked Brad, he'd say Zahara. Mad is very smart, but he's got a certain sense of calm. Zahara is possibly the funniest person I've ever met in my life. So dramatic and creative and loud and charming. She's definitely the biggest personality in the house."
Since I have a heart of stone, I'm not moved by this little confession. See how they never talk about Shiloh, of course she's not for pimping.
Check #1 Al Gore has or should have better things to do than help out Lindsay Lohan. If he does not have anything better to do than help her than he is welcome to come to my house and clean the kitty-litter boxes. Check #2 I really dislike Lionel Richie. The guy seems to be very popular in Europe and I just don't get it. He is so darn bland and greasy looking. Instead of coming to Europe once again for some Wonderbread level concert, how about you help your adopted daughter. Not only is she not eating but now driving drunk. Whatever happened to MADD? Check #3 To the guy that punched Pauly Shore during his unfunny comedy act, next time hit Carrot Top too? If you didn't read the story: Pauly was on stage telling some unfunny crap jokes. Some cowboy did not find him funny. He jumped on the stage and punched Shore in the face. Pauly dusted himself off and as he was walking off he called the audience White trash hicks. (Mostly fake but I stand by my Carrot Top comment) Check #4 Lady of Rage, it is time to stop rocking the afro puffs. What are you 40 years old? Go with a real afro and lock it down. It is just not cute anymore.
I know, I know, we only had two post last week. But they were great post damn it! When we at DF write up our New Year's resolutions, we will be sure to promise ourselves to post five days a week. Like with most resolutions we'll break it but we will definitely aim for four post per week. It's the quality not quantity. Now on to the gossip.....
Oh look Venus Williams and a body builder in a dress. They look cute together! Oh wait, it's just Serena. Funny how Serena still seems to be hitting the gym but can't win any tournaments.
ANTM had a party for the current and pass winners. Former winner Naima made an appearance. I think she got her invitations mixed up. "I thought Friday was the 'Lesbians love leather' party not the America's Next Top Model party"
And Angelina Jolie is of course too cool to actually look at fans while signing autographs. All the best because they would probably melt in her glow.
And reportedly Rob Lowe turned down the McDreamy role on Grey's Anatomy. What if..... Shame because Patrick Dempsey is getting on my last nerve. Source: PopSugar
I recently read an interview with Rain Pryor (the daughter of Richard Pryor). In the interview Rain said that she didn’t meet her father until she was a toddler. The first thing he said when looking at his daughter was “No denying this one.” So let’s hope that Eddie Murphy can follow his idol and when little scary is born he can repeat those same words. Muary: You are the father of 'little scary'!
Although we're disappointed that Desperately Fabulous did not make the finals in the Weblog Awards. But our pals at Celebitchy and YBF did make the finals. Please support them by voting at the Weblog Awards
Ten years ago Biggie Smalls asked 'What's Beef?' And unfortunately he found the answer on a nondescript Los Angeles street. And it seems that this generation of rappers may have forgotten the answer to Big's question. In this month's issue of Complex Magazine, Lil' Wayne takes offense to Jay-Z saying he's hip hop savior. Lil' Wayne goes on to say in the issue "I don't like what he's saying about how he had to comeback because hip-hop's dead and we need him," He continues,"what the f**k do you mean? If anything it's reborn, so he's probably having a problem with that. You left on a good note and all of the artists were saying, "Yo,this is Jay's house. He's the best. Now he comes back and still thinks it's his house.... It's not your house anymore, and I'm better than you."
Damn! This is wrong on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin. When did it become cool for Daniel son to disrespect Mr. Miyagi? And who the hell is Lil' Wayne? Has hip hop come to the point where somebody can just come off the street and talk about one of the greatest rapper of our life time? I have never heard anybody call Lil' Wayne the greatest rapper alive. But I have heard Lil' Wayne call Jay-Z the greatest rapper alive. If you're looking at this just through the music point of view ask yourself the following questions: How many Lil' Wayne albums will you be playing ten years from now? How many Lil Wayne albums do you own?
The rule from now on should be, a rapper must have at least have one classic album before being allowed to diss Jay-Z. If not, your diss will not be seen as an official diss but rather just a mis-understanding. Part of the problem with today's hip hop has to do with "hatin'". Where I'm from if you speak out against someone who hasn't said or done anything to you that's "hatin'". Example, if I'm walking down the street and I see a pretty young lady with a guy and I say he's ugly and she should be with me, that's "hatin". So the bottom line, is that Dwayne Carter A.K.A. Lil' Wayne (His mama named him Dwayne so I'm a call him Dwayne) shouldn't hate the player but hate the game.
Nas Vs Carmen A.K.A The Baby's Mom
For those of you who don't know what's been going on with Nas and Carmen just turn on Jerry Springer and you'll get an outline of what these two have been doing the past few weeks. Nas' baby mama Carmen has been doing a radio tour discussing her first tell all book aptly titled "It's no secret". Now this is where it gets interesting in the book she talks about having sexual relationships with Allen Iverson, Jay-Z and Sean " P Diddy " Combs. A odd twist in the book comes when Carmen says that Nas was physically abusive to her. Nas has gone on record as saying he has never hit Carmen and she's just out to make money off him. Picture a baby's mama trying to bring down her baby's daddy. I swear the only thing funnier then watching a baby's mama and daddy fight is watching the baby's mama threaten the baby's daddy with those child support papers. You should have heard how quick Nas shut up when she brought them papers up. Somebody better tell Carmen to stop bringing up child support, you already saw what the fear of child support did to Ray Carruth and OJ Simpson!
(Genesis 38:9) - "And Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so it came about that when he went in to his brother’s wife, he wasted his seed on the ground, in order not to give offspring to his brother."
Well, this is not an issue with Eddie Murphy. The man is spreading so much he does not even know what is or is not his. In an interview he said Scary Spice's child might not even be his baby. He could have been more classy and said he did not want to discuss that issue but no, that would have been boring. And I would not have had the chance to quote the Bible. Let us all hope that the poor child does have a different father. I have seen Eddie's saplings and they are all from the genus Turpis. That apparently has not stopped women from flocking to him. Word has it that Tracy Edmonds (Babyface ex-wife) is dating the guy. I won't come out and say it but I see an interesting pattern in the type of women he is attracted to.
(Hosea chapter 4:11) The Lord says, "Wine, both old and new, is robbing my people of their senses!"
Good for Lindsay Lohan seeking help for her drinking problem. She should ring up Drew Barrymore and ask her to be her AA buddy. I hope she can pass her 21st birthday without the need to flash us all her kitty-kat like her weekend pals do. Extra note: I am a student and I leave home very early and come home very late twice a week. This is why my updates happen at odd times.
Dear Britney, Congratulations on your 25th birthday. We at DF were so happy when you kicked K-Fed to the curb. But then you squandered that good will, by hanging out with the likes of Paris Hilton and greasy Brandon Davis. I’m ashamed that as a adult woman I even know who these people are, which is more reason for me to be angry at you for reminding me of that fact. Look, Paris Hilton is not your friend. If you want to know how Paris values friendships call Nicole Richie. Paris Hilton would trade in her own sister for a front page picture of her Vajayjay on the National Enquirer. Oh wait, your Vajayjay is all over the internet after a night of partying with Ms. Hilton, so watch your back. Yes, Britney Spears flashing herself to the world! I know you're twenty-five but where are your parents? Now even Fox News is calling you an unfit parent. And they think that George Bush should get the father of the year award. Although K-Fed is a worthless piece of trash, he may just make a better parent than you. Did you hear that? K-Fed could actually be a better parent than another human being? So clean yourself up and despite what Paris Hilton tells you, wearing underwear whilst in public is a good thing. Happy birthday and remember that children do not choose their parents but you can choose your friends. Kind Regards, DF PS.For those of you that want to see the full monty, visit out friends at IDLUITW
