Damn Hot Mess

Russell Simmons and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN) issued a statement today (April 23) urging the recording industry and media outlets to censor misogynistic lyrics and racist terms from future recordings.

After Don Imus’ recent firing for using disparaging remarks about the Rutgers University Women’s Basketball team, hip-hop critics and activists in the black community have challenged the record industry and rappers to tone down denigrating lyrics.

“We recommend that the recording and broadcast industries voluntarily remove/bleep/delete the misogynistic words ‘bitch’ and ‘ho’ and the racially offensive word ‘nigger,’” Simmons said via the statement. “These three words should be considered with the same objections to obscenity as ‘extreme curse words.’”

Simmons and the HSAN also called for the formation of a Coalition on Broadcast Standards that would consist of leading executives from music, radio and television.

“The Coalition would recommend guidelines for lyrical and visual standards within the industries,” the statement continued. “We also recommend that the recording industry establish artist mentoring programs and forums to stimulate effective dialogue between artists, hip-hop fans, industry leaders and others to promote better understanding and positive change.”

Mariah Carey next in line to adopt an orphan
April 3, 2007

Mariah Carey is allegedly planning to adopt a Mexican orphan. The ‘Hero’ singer reportedly visited Mexico’s Frank Gonzalez orphanage with her lawyer recently and rumours are now rife she is considering adopting a
child.

A representative for Mariah has refused to comment, only saying they would not speak about her personal life.
Meanwhile, the glamorous diva recently reduced the crew of her latest film to tears with her moving singing.

Mariah, 37, performed ‘Right To Dream’ for a scene in her new movie ‘Tennessee’ filmed at music club Second Fiddle and it struck an emotional chord with some onlookers.

Director Aaron Woodley told The Tennessean newspaper: “People were weeping when she sang it. It was very moving, especially in the context of the film
and her character.

Mimi still practically a child herself but hey u gotta give props were props are due… Woman is willing to take another womans child to raise it as her own, wonder why she doesn’t just get a child of her own though….
