[TV SHOW] RACHEL CROW ELIMINATED ON X-FACTOR SHOW

Thursday night as I sat in my living room watching the LIVE results of THE X-FACTOR, I was reminded why voting is so important. I mean it’s what our democratic government is built on. Yea I know it’s a television show, but after watching 13 year old Rachel Crow be eliminated because she received the lowest votes by the fans of the show, proves how even those watching do not take the show seriously, but rather just entertainment. For the contestants however this really is do or die to them. Now I’m not saying it’s the end of the world, but we all know how it feels to lose, and the feeling is never good. And when you are 13, you don’t always get it right then. Now let me say this, I do not think that Marcus should have been on the chopping block either, in my humble opinion, Chris Renea is messing up the X Factor. He is like the William Hung of X-Factor. Of course his talent is far more superior than Hung’s but not the final 5 standing. I love his story, but that’s it. Now take a moment, if you haven’t already, and watch Rachel Crow sing Etta James “I Rather Be Blind” and Marcus Canty sing Mary J. Blige “Im Going Down.”

Roscoe Dash hooks up with the Ambition rapper, Wale, for his new single: Into The Morning. The single will be on his upcoming EP: J.U.I.C.E. Is it just me, or has Roscoe Dash become the mature version of what we hoped Soulja Boy would be? I’m just asking.

 

[SPORTS] LAKERS/ROCKETS/HORNETS REVISE TRADE INVOLVING CHRIS PAUL

Chris Paul could become a Laker this weekend. After Commissioner Stern vetoed the first trade, which would have sent Pau Gasol to the Rockets, Lamar Odom to the Hornets, along with Rockets Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, & Goran Dragic. Now I’m seeing that the Celtics have agreed to trade Jermaine Oneal to the Hornets (which he would actually become a Laker) to become a part of a package that the Lakers would send to Orlando in hopes of landing the 3 time Defensive Player of the year. I’m not sure what the Celtics would get back in return for him (tacos..lol). But seriously, I just want this deal to be done, because Lamar may not decide to recover from this, and I feel bad for Pau, but we all know this is part of the game.

The bottom line is this, Dwight Howard was pushing for a trade to New Jersey because the NBA nixed the Chris Paul trade. So it’s my belief that when he seen that, playing with Deron become his 2nd choice of pg’s to play with. But now that the trade is still possible, he got permission from Orlando to talk with the Lakers, (also the Mavs, & Nets), so we have to see what happens. But the truth is, I really don’t believe the Mavs have a true chance if they have to give up Jason Kidd, because Howard wants to play with an all-star caliber guard. Someone that can get him the ball in his comfortable spots. Chris Paul is definitely the one he would want to play with.

The Mavericks will sign Vince Carter to a 1yr deal, so I wonder will the Lakers take a look at Rip Hamilton, just to add depth to the roster? Because once the trades go down (if they go down) the bench will have to be revamped. Ah no sleep till the deal is done.
