T-Pain's New Chain is Ignant!
During a radio concert in New York over the weekend, T-Pain debuted a major asset -- a 10-pound, 197-karat diamond chain valued at 410-thousand dollars. A little extreme? Twitter members think so. They've taken to the comment boards to declare Pain's actions as "buffoonery at its finest," "a modern-day minstrel show" and "ignorant."
T-Pain has responded on Twitter, writing, "Let's celebrate the fact a black man can have things like this and still care for three kids and wife in a six-million-dollar house with 32 cars. Oldest child five and already got four-million in her own account. I don't do dumb [stuff] like this till I know the [family is] good. So don't judge me from what I buy. Judge me from what I do. Cuz it's so many artists that put themselves before their family." -- Jamila Daniel
Whether or not his family is taken care of, does it make sense for T-Pain to buy such an over-the-top piece of jewelry? Should people concern themselves with how others spend their money? Is it appropriate in this economy to be showing off so much bling? COMMENT BELOW
Thai police say they will accept the help of the F-B-I in their investigation into the death of David Carradine, as requested by the actor's family.
Thai police Major General Amnuay Nimmano says, "If the F-B-I wants to get involved, we will do our best to co-operate. We have nothing to hide."
Thai police have backed off their suicide theory. Officials now say they are not certain what caused Carradine's death, but think he may have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation during a sexual encounter.
The Kung Fu star's body was discovered hanging in a closet with rope around his neck and genitals.
Tila Tequila isn't going to be a mommy just yet.
The bi-sexual Shot of Love star has cleared up the pregnancy rumors that she reportedly started. On her MySpace blog, she writes, "Maybe I was pregnant, or maybe I wasn't pregnant. I think that is something very personal but I'm going to clear that up now and say that I am not currently pregnant."
Extra reports that Tila announced she was preggers by an unnamed celebrity on a late-night Twitter post that was quickly removed.

It really isn't anyones business what he spends his money on or how he spends it. BUT, when you purchase something of that magnitude and display it for the world to see. You are going to get everything that is coming your way.
So my opinion on the matter here is that I really don't care how much he spent on it, (a big BUT once again) that BIG ASS thing around his neck is a damn shame and cries HOT GHETTO MESS go ahead and add me in your next issue.
And his comment about celebrating a Black man because he can have all he has, take care of his family and then splurge on things like this, is the saddest comment a Black man can make. As fast as he got, it can be taken away even quicker, time and time again these people come into major dollars, go on a 10 - 15 year shopping spree, bragging and looking for praise because they are taking care of home first; only to end up broke, bankrupt, etc, all because they don't pay their taxes on all that damn money.
Their too busy spending their money and flashing instead of handling their main and obligated business, the hired accountant is too busy stealing their money instead of doing their job, and the Government and the State are laying in State waiting to tap that ASS.
