You’ve heard the expression, “you made your bed, now lie in it.” Well, that’s exactly what former Kansas City Chiefs player Larry Johnson is doing, now he has no job to go to. The former team running back was released from his contract on Monday (November 9), the same day he was to return from suspension. Johnson was suspended following a controversy that included the use of gay slurs Read the rest of this entry »

After reeling homophobic slurs at the media in his locker room and a fan via Twitter, Johnson issued the following apology through his agent Peter Schaffer:

First of all, I want to apologize to the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the NFL, Commissioner Goodell, the Chiefs organization, Coach Todd Haley, his staff, and my teammates for the words I used yesterday. “I regret my actions. The words were used by me in frustration, and they were not appropriate. I did not intend to Read the rest of this entry »

Perez Hilton continues to suffer from an epidemic that plagues so many in the public eye.  It’s called foot-in-the-mouth disease and someone really needs to find the cure.  Perez Hilton, who covers the August issue of Advocate magazine, sat down for an interview wherein he addresses the Will.I.Am incident.  You remember the incident, right?  The one in which he called Will.I.Am a f*ggot.  Well, in his interview with the Advocate, he reveals for a second he first thought to call Will.I.Am the “N” word.  *screeech*  Oh really???? He goes on to say he decided against the ‘N” word because he thought f*ggot would be an even worse reference to use against the Black Eyed Peas frontman.  Oh, so he didn’t call Will.I.Am a n*gger because he knew it was wrong, he didn’t call Will.I.Am a n*gger because he thought something else would be even worse.  Someone needs to get Perez Hilton a real PR team and a muzzle with the quickness.

Drama queen/blogger Perez Hilton is at it again. After tweeting that he was assaulted by Black Eyed Peas member Will.I.Am, Hilton released a video in which he explains what really happened.

In his video statement, Hilton admits Will.I.Am confronted him about statements he’s made about the BEP on his website, but then reveals it was in fact Will.I.Am’s tour manager, Polo Molina, who clocked him in the eye from behind and punched him two or three times. Wait! Hold up!! Didn’t Hilton tweet it was Will.I.Am who bloodied his face? Losing credibility already. Hilton went on to admit he deliberately sought to get under Will.I.Am’s skin when he told him,  Read the rest of this entry »

Rapper Juelz Santana, formerly of rapper Cam’ron’s group Dip Set, took to the internet to address recent comments he made aimed at internet bloggers who hate on him, calling them gay.

He breaks down how the streets use the term gay, saying hating is “a form of gayness.”

Santana goes on to say, “this is no offense to gay people…I have gay people that work around me that I’m comfortable [with].”

But then follows that statement by saying the use of the word gay is synonymous with “acting like a bitch.”

Huh? Not sure how much of an apology it was, but you be the judge

Hello BGGers,

This post was inspired by a brunch conversation I enjoyed with some friends who are “in the industry.” Our conversation got me to thinking and led me to write the following list of Top 7 Ways to Convince People You Are Not “In the Closet.”

Now, let’s get it straight (no pun intended), I’m not suggesting people should leave the closet before they are ready, if ever at all. While staying in the closet may eventually become suffocating, it is a personal choice.

This list is for those closeted individuals who harm both the homosexual and Black community at large by perpetuating homophobia. Whether rooted in self-loath or fear, there are many who vehemently deny they are homosexual, as if it is some negative, nasty stain ridiculously thrown upon them. Help us help you.

If you would like to remain in the closet and end the accusations once and for all, try some or all of the following suggestions:

1. Stop engaging in homosexual acts.

Unfortunately, or rather, fortunately, sex involves the participation of more than just you. So now, someone other than you knows you are either homosexual, or were just having a homosexual kind of day.

2. Stop addressing homosexual rumors every chance you get.

Analogy: A man acquitted of a crime chooses to go on every media outlet to say he didn’t do it and later writes a book saying how he would have committed the crime if he did do it. Down the road, the man ends up in jail. Do you see how confusing and insane that sounds? In the end, you just look guilty.

3. Stop using homosexual slurs, especially with vigor.

Example: If when you say “faggot” or “homo” or even “gay,” it sounds like you dug deep down into your bowels to muster up the deepest contempt possible, as if a homosexual person wiped out your entire family, to get those words to eject from your mouth, you may be “doing too much.” You sound closeted.

It’s Tuesday nights at 10pm, so you know what that means…Fonzworth Bentley’s “From G’s to Gents” on MTV. It’s a show where Mr. Bentley takes a group of “gangstas” and attempts to transform them into gentlemen.

On tonight’s episode, the challenge was a rap off, excuse me, I mean a rhetoric duel. Well, while A-Felon was on stage rapping, gangsta contestant Macho was in the crowd sticking his tongue out at A-Felon. Real gansta, I know. What’s even more bizarre is A-Felon’s reaction. He took it as a homo-erotic Read the rest of this entry »
