Montel Williams Is Letting The World Know About His Political Aspirations & New Radio Show!



It was wrong when Fox canceled "The Montel Williams Show" because he criticized their coverage of Heath Ledger.Montel said that he'd rather see them discuss the soldiers in Iraq!He told the truth on "Fox & Friends" when he said that the media has it's priorities all wrong.The network didn't like his comments & they dropped his show. Watch this mutant named Greg Gutfeld talk about how horrible the show was anyway,as if "Red Eye" is somehow better!I'm wondering what's taking Fox so long to dump Gutfeld's moronic show.

Now,Montel Williams is back & he's talking about his political aspirations.He may run for office one day because he is interested in public service.And I don't think that it's much of a stretch to transform a talk show host like him into a viable politician.Jerry Springer has a B.A. in political science & he became mayor of Cincinnati.And that was all before "The Jerry Springer Show"!

At least Montel Williams conducted a far more respectable show than Jerry Springer!And he is a highly decorated officer that has a minor in international security affairs from the US Naval Academy.This guy has fought for his country & proven his loyalty to it.With those qualifications,I don't see how anyone could say he should not attempt to run for office one day.Here's more from Politico:

"Montel Williams spent 17 years as a television talk show host, but this week he's started a new radio gig for Air America, hosting "Montel Williams Across America" daily from 9am to 12pm. And that may not be the only job change in the future for Williams: He told the POLITICO podcast that he hopes to run for office one day.

"I've had many discussions at multiple levels of government about the responsibility of us all who feel as if we have the audacity to open our mouths and complain about what happens in our society and then not step up to the plate to do something about it," said Williams. "And the best way to do something about it is through public service." (END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Eminem Is Back With A New Album Called "Relaspse"!


Eminem is back with a new track called "We Made You"!He's spoofing celebrities & spitting raunchy lyrics as usual!But,I thought he would come out much better than this! I hope that the rest of his songs are better than this one.He's so talented that I'm sure that there are some dope tracks on his new album called "Relapse".Here's a preview of his album from IGN:

"Believe it or not, those are the only two confirmed tracks for Relapse. Why don't we know more? Because of the astounding amount of material that was recorded for potential inclusion. Rumor has it that around 100 songs were collected, some previously recorded while in production on guest-appearance projects, and others exclusively for possible placement on Relapse.

Eminem recorded much of the album in conjunction with Dr. Dre at Em's recently purchased Effigy Studio in Detroit. Production later moved to Miami where the pair were joined by legendary Hip-Hop producer and frequent Em collaborator Jeff Bass. The second round of recording sessions, initially scheduled to last less than a week, supposedly went so well that they were extended to nearly half a year.

How is it possible that all that dopeness will fit on one record? Easy. It won't. Eminem is already working on a follow-up album, Relapse 2, that fans can expect in the second half of 2009.

"A lot of people were expecting Relapse to drop last year," Eminem says. "I was one of them. Then Dre and I went back in the studio in September for a few days, and that turned into six months. We were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music produced by Dre. Putting out Relapse 2 will let everyone get all of the best stuff."

What more could Relapse or its sequel hold? Rapper T.I. may (or may not) make a guest appearance. He told MTV that he record three tracks with Eminem in 2007, one of which is about the pair's alter egos, T.I.P and Slim Shady. And hip-hop producer extraordinaire DJ Premier also worked with Eminem on a track called "Keys to the City," which may show up.

Relapse might also feature a track called "My Syllielabel" (sound it out), which former label mate Stat Quo says features Jay-Z.

Other stuff we know: At least one song will deal with the death of Emimen's good friend, Proof, who was shot and killed in 2006. This was not long after Eminem admitted an addiction to sleeping pills, and saw his (re)marriage bust up. To say that Relapse was conceived during hard times is an understatement.

You might expect, given the aforementioned drama, to find Eminem in an even darker place on Relapse. But that's supposedly not the case. He's even gone on record describing the album as "more upbeat." "Within the last year I started learning how to not be so angry about things, learning how to count my ... blessings instead. By doing that, I've become a happier person, instead of all this self-loathing I was doing for a while," he says."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Kal Penn Of "House" Will Be Working At The White House!



Kal Penn is the witty,funny,& adorably cute Indian-American actor who just landed a job in the Obama administration.He played on "House",until his character committed suicide last night.But,I really like him in both of the "Harold & Kumar" movies that he has done.He played a big role in the Obama campaign.And,apparently, it has paid off!Kal Penn has been given a job at the White House.
Here's more on that from The N.Y. Daily News:

"Penn, 31, will become associate director in the White House Office of Public Liaison, administration officials confirmed Tuesday. The Indian-American film star will be an emissary to the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, along with arts and entertainment groups.

Penn campaigned extensively throughout the country for President Obama last year and was a hit on college campuses.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Penn explained why he decided to leave "House." His character inexplicably committed suicide in an episode that aired Monday night.

"I was incredibly honored a couple of months ago to get the opportunity to go work in the White House," Penn explained. "I got to know the President and some of the staff during the campaign and had expressed interest in working there."

Penn described the office as the "front door" of the White House, saying he'll be responsible for doing outreach with the American public.

"They take out all of the red tape that falls between the general public and the White House," he said. "It's similar to what I was doing on the campaign."

Penn gained fame as the co-star of the raucous and profane "Harold and Kumar" stoner comedies that have become a cult favorite with fans worldwide. The first installment, "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle," followed the misadventures of two New Jersey guys with a pot-stoked craving for their favorite burgers.

He famously smoked weed with a fictional President Bush in the sequel, "Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the article in its entirety here.
