Wow!! One of the most syndicated and the longest running daytime talk shows in the United States, The Oprah Winfrey Show, will unplug from sets across he country after 25 successful seasons in the year 2011. Although this is sad news for fans that have followed Oprah's humbling beginning, it's already being reported that the Mississippi-born Winfrey is planning on starting a new show on her very own OWN network (yup, she own's that). Even if Oprah, 55, decided not to come back to television, she can certainly rest comfortably on the billions of dollars that she is worth.

Monica's reality TV series on BET, Still Standing, has been buzzing since it recently aired. The title of the show is also the name of Monica's 6th album release and single, which is slated for a early 2010 release.
In a recent cover story with Rolling Out Magazine, here's how the Atlanta-born Monica interpreted 'Still Standing':
"Still standing [are] words that, once you put them together, you think strength. Whatever the rest of the interpretation is, you think ‘still standing' as in not giving up, not turning back, not letting go ... that's how I feel in my everyday life. ‘Still Standing' is the title of the show, but it's also the name of the album, because it's the best representation of where I am right now. That may change in a couple of years. I hope that I'm still standing," she says as an involuntary chuckle escapes her. "But how I look at things may change. It just best describes me right now." - Monica, via Rolling Out Magazine (November 2009)
Major props to Monica, who first hit the scene in 1995 with her triple-platinum debut, Miss Thang. Check out the full interview here!

Boxer Manny Pacquiao recently defeated Miguel Cotto in a brutal 12 round match this past Saturday at the MGM Grand Hotel for the WBO welterweight title. The winner, Manny, will now face off reigning and undefeated champ, Floyd Joy Mayweather. Jr (who has a flawless record of 40-0).
Here's a clip of Floyd 'Pretty Boy' Mayweather giving his opinion on the Pacquiao's recent match with Miguel Cotto, his thoughts on how the sport of boxing perceives him and more.
In the past, Mayweather has been criticize by boxing insiders and fans of the sport for not taking on worthy of opponents. If that's the case, Floyd (who is often referred to as Pretty Boy and Money Mayweather) can't do much running now. Both Pacquiao and Mayweather will box-off in the ring in 2010.
JimmyJazz.com addressed that Wale is “fly” in his Nike Boots in our Blog post last month, and now we can say the same for his debut album, Attention Deficit. Being named “the greatest rapper since Jay-Z,” by GQ magazine, Wale has some huge shoes to fill. The Washington D.C., native is not trying to be politically correct. Lyrically speaking, the rapper goes hard. The DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) rep and fan of “Go-Go” music discusses self insecurities, triumph, success, and love.
Ladies may refer to him as Mr. Never-Wear-Same-Thing, Attention Deficit delivers a raw emotion that Wale expresses only a woman can deliver. Female sensations Lady Gaga, Jazmine Sullivan, Chrisette Michele, Melanie Fiona and sampled Rihanna assist the visionary.
The mind of a listener is short. Wale wants to change the way music is heard.

JimmyJazz.com: Even before it was public that you had diabetes, you were shot. Mentally and physically, what has it done to you as an individual?
OJ Da Juiceman: It slowed me down a whole lot. Before the incident occurred, I was doing a lot of fast speeding; not really paying attention to what I was doing. I was still on point, but not really on top of my game.... I was living my live without a fear, but then tables turned. It showed me, "you could be here having fun or you could be somewhere else, like 6-feet under the ground, you could be gone." So I just try to keep maintained, humble feet and humble head. Enjoy what I got going on right now, because I could really be at the other end of the law, like I was before I got signed.
