Because it’s her birthday. . .

Robin Thicke’s album cover. . .

Ciara poses nude for the October 2008 issue of Vibe magazine. The issue not only includes a nude cover, but a nude spread inside as well…looks like the singer is baring all with the upcoming album she has in store for us.

In related news, Vibe magazine has been catching blows after Robin Thicke let out to Billboard magazine that Vibe told him “they don’t have white artists on the cover”, in response to why he couldn’t get the cover of this issue. They must have forgotten to mention that they rather put out Ciara naked, but they also released a statement responding to him.

Birthday chumps. . .

Gov. Sarah Palin’s RNC speech. . .

I must admit that I was expecting Gov. Sarah Palin to wither in front of the cameras last night especially with all of the scrutiny of her background and family over the past week - however she proved me (and the rest of the skeptics) wrong. She was confident, poised, and downright likeable in her speech last night.

I did NOT, however, appreciate her attacks against Barack Obama and her assertiveness as if she should be where she is. She just got in this race. Show some respect. . lol.

In any event, check out a snippet of her speech last night. . .

FRESH MUSIC: Mateo - Makin’ My Space

♫ MATEO - PAPER PLANES ♫

Wow! You all must check out MySpace Recording artist - MATEO - and his new mixtape that DJ Felli Fel and MTV’s Quddus are presenting. Mateo is definitely showcasing his vocal talent but also throwing his own swag on some of today’s hottest tracks (Paper Planes being my favorite).

He’s da homie and I can’t wait for him to blow up (so I can hire someone to do this blog!). LOL. Be sure to check him out on MySpace as well at http://myspace.com/mateo. Also, be sure to check out Chalice Serrano and JL Brown who are also featured on the mixtape as vocalists and producers.

90210.2 was a ratings success!!

Tuesday night’s two-hour premiere of the highly anticipated “90210″ spin-off didn’t disappoint. “90210″ proved it’s still the hottest zip code on TV, with nearly 5 million viewers tuning into the series premiere, which ET confirms was the highest-rated scripted debut show in The CW history.

“90210″out did prior teen series premieres such as “Dawson’s Creek”, “Gilmore Girls” and “The OC.”

The spin-off also acquired a 2.6 rating among adults 18-40, another record for The CW network.

Oprah heading to another TV show?!

The aGEnT has confirmed that Oprah Winfrey is in discussions with Tina Fey and the other producers of “30 Rock” to make a guest appearance as herself on the Emmy Award-winning NBC comedy.

The talk-show queen’s possible appearance comes on the heels of the announcement that Jennifer Aniston would be returning to NBC to play a stalker on the show.

Oprah’s previous high-profile sitcom appearance was as the therapist on “Ellen.”

Can we simply say. . BEAUTIFUL!

Wow!! Take a look at these pictures of Halle Berry’s beautiful baby girl - Nahla!! She’s the cats meow (ummm. . who says that). In any event, the baby couldn’t help but be beautiful. . .

Another magazine cover. . .

Harry Potter himself, well Daniel Radcliffe has admitted to losing his virginity in this month’s Details magazine. Young Harry admits that he lost his virginity at 16 and  to quite an older woman (whom he says people would be embarrassed to hear about).

Damn. . . how old was the chick? Maybe it was Maggie Smith (89,000 years old) from the movie?!?!?
