My #1 rule as a blogger is to NEVER talk about anyone’s death if I NEVER covered their life.
It’s just a sad day.
Condolences to his family.
If I have to report on one more public figure dying…..

Saturday, August 29th, 2009Worst Week Ever: Michael Jackson’s Death Ruled A Homicide, Dr. Conrad’s Future Unknown!
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Amid the controversial health care reform and reality star Heidi Montag’s shiteous Miss Universe performance, it’s clear that Dr. Conrad Murray is clearly having the worst week ever.
It’s being reported that the LA corner’s office has ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide, fingering Dr. Murray as the culprit.
Per MSNBC:
Criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who was with the pop star when he died on June 25.
A designation of homicide means that Jackson died at the hands of another, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed.
Forensic tests found the powerful anesthetic propofol acted together with at least two sedatives to cause Jackson’s death June 25 in his rented Los Angeles mansion, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released.
Color me crazy, but I don’t think anyone wants to be known as the killer of musics greatest contributor.

Sad News: Don Diva Journalist P-Man aka Sam Ferguson Gunned Down In Florida!
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
It looks like all the “journalists” of the world might want to start investing in bullet proof vests.
In a shocking turn of events, a journalist and President of Don Diva magazine Sam Ferguson was murdered in Florida last week in Florida. Details from the shocking incident are sketchy, but it’s being whispered that a certain overweight rapper from South Florida is involved.
In a interview before this weekends chain events, Ross was very vocal about his disdain for Ferguson. Ross became infuriated with Ferguson after seeing an interview with Hip-Hop Weekly as well as a Q & A that was issued in the magazine that was entitled, “Would The Real Rick Ross Stand Up.” Ross was cited as saying that he was offended by what was written and issued a challenge for him to meet him in the streets as it would become deeper than rap.
Authorities are currently on the search for suspects connected with the crime as their only clue has lead them on the hunt for a black car with clear tail-light lenses.
That’s a pretty small lead isn’t it?
So sad.

ATL Blog: Vernon Forrest Murdered [R.I.P.]
Monday, July 27th, 2009
Tragedy struck Atlanta over the weekend. Boxer Vernon Forrest was killed Saturday night over a robbery that turned into a brutal weapons exchange.
The incident began at 11 p.m. at the Chevron on Whitehall Street in Southwest Atlanta when Forrest, 38, stopped to put air in the tires of his Jaguar, said Atlanta Police Detective Lt. Keith Meadows.
A male suspect approached Forrest and robbed him of a few items at gunpoint, he said. Forrest, who was also armed, then chased the suspect to an area near McDaniel and Fulton Streets.
Forrest was shot seven to eight times in the back, Meadows said. Meadows said there is evidence Forrest used his weapon but did not know if the suspect was shot.
An 11-year-old boy, described as a godson by Forrest’s manager Charles Watson, was in the Chevron at the time of the robbery. The boy is the son of Forrest’s girlfriend, Meadows said, and was able to provide police with a description of the suspect.
It’s getting rough out here peoples. I think its time for EVERYONE to tone all the flashiness down. When people have nothing they’ve got NOTHING to lose by robbing you.
Gyantunplugged.com sends out peace and blessing vibes to Forrest and his family.

Chris Brown Speaks…
Monday, July 20th, 2009Chris Brown is doing damage control.
Too bad its about five months too late.
“Since February, my attorney has advised me not to speak out, even though, ever since the incident, I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility. I felt it was time that you heard directly from me that I am sorry.
I cannot go into what happened, and most importantly, I’m not going to sit here and make any excuses. I take great pride in me being able to exercise self-control and what I did was inexcusable. I am very sad and very ashamed of what I’ve done.”
Funny. He said all that and said nothing.
Look, I think we all need to move on. But just know; once a beater always a….

Another Plane Falls Out of The Sky, One Child Survives
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009Another airplane has fallen out of the sky.
142 customers and 11 crew were discovered in the Indian Ocean late last night due to freak accident that ended in tragedy.
The crash took place as the plane approached the Hahaya airport in Moroni. The plane tried but failed to land and then performed a U-turn before it crashed, Nadhoim said. Officials did not know why the plane could not land, he said.
Flight 626 left Sanaa at 9:30 p.m. (1830 GMT) for what was expected to be a four-and-a-half-hour flight. The airline has three regular flights a week to Moroni, off the east coast of Africa, about 2,900 km (1,800 miles) south of Yemen.
Initially, airline officials believed there were no survivors, but miraculously a child has been found.
The child was the first person found alive from the jet, which was carrying more than 150 people en route to the island nation of Comoros from Yemen’s capital, Sanaa. A reconnaissance plane spotted traces of the jet in waters off the town of Mitsamiouli, Comoros Vice President Idi Nadhoim said Tuesday.
There was no indication of foul play behind the crash, the official in Yemen said.
So sad! Our prayers are with the family.
