Charlie Sheen is about to deliver some tiger blood to Haiti; Beyonce works too damn hard for the "blood" money; and Da Brat is ready to clean your windows. The foolery starts now.

Charlie Sheen is WINNING...in Haiti?

If you thought you knew the definition of winning then think again. Actor Charlie Sheen has his own interpretation of winning and he debuted his new favorite word in a series of troubling, confusing and downright funny TV interviews. Charlie claims to be drug free and it appears that no one is buying that story. Still some people are in his corner including actor, Sean Penn who announced that Charlie will accompany him on a visit to Haiti.  This isn't the best idea to some people who think that the earthquake-ravaged country can't take any more pain.

"I never thought the situation in Haiti could get worse."

Beyonce, girl, keep yo' check

Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi is receiving worldwide condemnation for his violent attacks on protestors and now folks are following the money trail. Apparently stars such as 50 Cent, Usher, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Nelly Furtado performed for Gaddafi and received a reported $1 million each. Folks now want the stars to return the "blood" money and donate it to charity. After coming under media scrutiny, Beyonce has announced that she donated the money to charity. But not everyone thinks the move was necessary.

"If I was Bey I would have said I worked for that money so I'm keeping it. People make me sick with misplaced morality. Money is made from liquor, wars (both domestic and abroad) i.e. Pres. Bush...VP Cheney need I say more. The clothing industry makes money off of sweat shops. Jewelry industry has blood diamonds. Give me a break she should have gien anything away unless she truly wanted to, not because of being socially morally obligated."

Da Brat released from jail

It's been a long three years since we have heard the fast paced rhymes of animated rapper, Da Brat. It looks like that will change now that she has been released from prison after serving time for aggravated assault. In a video with her longtime friend and collaborator, Jermaine Dupri the rapper stated, "Guess whose back in the mother----ing house," she said in the video. "I'm out on a little pass. I had to do some lawyer, attorney stuff." Brat went on to thank her fans for their support and for sending her letters while she was locked away. The 36-year-old also revealed that her new job is the polar opposite of her musical career. "I make windows," she said. "If ya'll need a window, holla at ya girl. I'm doing my thing. When I come back I'm going to be making windows, movies, music, TV shows. Anything I can get my hands on."

Not everyone is impressed.

"Just hope she dont get her hands on any rum bottles ole 36 yo thug. Grow up, still sound like an idiot. Not remorseful at all and trying to tell the youth to not choose violence, but I make windows crap. Like something funny. She'll be back in the pokey because she sounds like she still stuck on idiot."

By Souleo There are some people who should never and I mean, never attempt to drop it like it's hot. Rihanna, Demi Moore and Thom Yorke you're on the list. Check it out below.

Rihanna

The inclusion of Rihanna in a "you can't dance" post should not be surprising since she's been dancing on stage with a case of lethargy all her career. She must be tired from singing and if you buy that, Madonna is the queen of soul.

Demi Moore loses her sexy

No you're not about to get "Punk'd" since this is actually a real video of Demi Moore dancing like she just had 10 drinks, an epilepsy attack, a contact high from Snoop Dogg and forgot that she was actually in public. Few things are so painfully embarrassing.

Thom Yorke Does Beyonce...'Nuff Said

Who would have ever thought that the lead singer of rock band, Radiohead would dance to Beyonce's "Single Ladies?" Well, the real question is who thinks that they can handle watching the crisis unfold without having a seizure from laughing so hard? Take a chance below.

By Souleo Face it, we all fall down. Whether it's a trip, slip or dip it happens to the best of us including some of music's biggest names. It's only more hilarious when it happens to the stars on stage in front of millions. Jump below to see which celebrities have taken a fall from grace.

Beyonce

Considered to be the grand diva of modern pop, Beyonce took a grand fall during a concert performance. This has got to be one of the most painful falls in recorded history since she literally hit every single step seemingly face first. Of course, she shook it off by whipping around that lace front.

Mark: 0:16

Rihanna

She doesn't dance and barely has any life on stage so how in the world did Rihanna manage to fall? Well, apparently trying to sex it up waling in stilettos is a bit too much for her to handle as evidenced by this tumble during a performance in London. Imaging what the fall would have looked like had she been busting a move.

Mark: 0:04

J. Lo

Some think she has a big ego, but truth is it's not as big as that butt of hers which helped save her during this fall. What makes the episode truly embarrassing is that this was supposed to be J. Lo's major comeback performance at the 2009 American Music Awards and well...that obviously didn't go as planned.

By Souleo When the biggest and brightest celebrities from the urban entertainment scene want to party one of the people they call is party promoter, Cedrick Pierre. As the CEO of Elite Entertainment Marketing Group, Cedrick has hosted all kinds of parties from holiday themed ones to extravagant birthday parties and in the process has partied alongside the likes of Jay-Z and Beyonce. With his drive and marketing talent he is definitely one to watch since his party doesn't seem nowhere near its end. Read on to discover how this young entrepreneur impressed Jay-Z, how Trey Songz put him in his place, dealing with the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake crisis and more.

On getting props from Jay-Z:

My favorite one would have to be a party I did with Jay-Z. It was last Halloween at the 40/40 club. I met him and I met Beyonce. Jay-Z shook my hand and said, "Thanks, you made me a lot of money today." I just found that to be something that stuck in my head for quite some time and he's never forgotten me since then. So I kind of like that.

On learning that he can't compete with Trey Songz:

The second party I did at the 40/40 was on the day before Thanksgiving which is also Trey Songz' birthday. So I had to learn the hard way that I can't compete with Trey Songz and I failed pretty hard that night. Only 500 people showed up to my party that night to a club that can hold 2,000.

On how his young age has been an obstacle to overcome:

A lot of clubbers don't hire a promoter my age because they'd rather hire a guy that has been in the game 20 or 30 years. It came to a point where you have no choice but to give me a chance and once you give me a chance, I'm not going to let you down. So I've managed to build a reputation for myself.

On the international party scene:

We've done the Dominican Republic, Acapulco, Aruba and Jamaica. For this year's Spring break we actually went on tour with MTV. Overseas they are crazier because you don't really have to worry about laws, where people can't do this or that. Everybody is free and they can do whatever they want. I'd have to say they're definitely crazy.

On how the Haiti earthquake affected his family:

I had my sister, my cousins and nephew out in Haiti and they were affected pretty bad. My nephew is actually living with me now and hopefully my sister will be coming over soon, but they managed to pick themselves up. We do our best everyday to maintain and to get by because by nature we are a strong people. But to know that your own flesh and blood is suffering-I don't think you overcome that until they are okay. So it has made me a little more motivated. Sometimes I forget how many opportunities I have in this country and it's crazy not to make the best of it.

By Souleo. Wyclef Jean announced he is running for president of Haiti and Sean Penn ain't having it; Queen Latifah ignites gay rumors once again; Lady Gaga admits the obvious (drug use); nominations for MTV's Video Music Awards create a battle of the Stans; and a proposed mosque near the 9/11 site leads to major controversy.  It's all here in this week's round-up.  Don't be scared.

Sean Penn Challenges Wyclef Jean's Presidential Bid

Wyclef Jean's announcement that he is running to be the president of Haiti in the aftermath of the country's natural disaster has elicited a range of reactions: surprise, hope and suspicion.  Actor, Sean Penn has had the latter reaction as he called out Wyclef for allegedly mishandling $400,000 of his Yele Haiti charity (Wyclef has since stepped down from the organization) and questioning if he really has the ability to make a difference.  Hmmm, food for thought.

"the fact remains that Haiti needs someone who understands politics and is ready to give his life for his country. Haiti needs a president who actually resides on the island and not someone who will fly in every 6 months. I think it's ridiculous that anyone thinks Wyclef Jean is qualified to run a nation when he couldn't even run his own business affairs. His own band member (who is also Haitian) refuses to endorse him."

Is This What a "Straight" Woman Does?

For years Queen Latifah has beat around the bush (no pun intended) when it comes to allegations that she is a lesbian.  Well, the cat may be out of the bag this time (again, no pun intended) with these recent pictures of her and personal trainer/"friend" Jeanette Jenkins embracing on a yacht.  As this commenter notes few are surprised at the pictures and many would support the Queen if she is in fact a lesbian and comes on out..

"now who didn't know Cleo was a lesbian?? C'mon son! LOL! Do you Queen! That's her business!"

Lady Gaga Admits Drug Use

Here she goes again, grabbing headlines with one of her "shocking" revelations.  Well, I can't say I was super surprised by Lady Gaga admitting she "occasionally" snorts cocaine in an interview with Vanity Fair.  I mean after all she doesn't come across as a little conservative homemaker.  Still, the commenter below is quite funny for their reaction to the news.

The Stans Can't Take It!

MTV's Video Music Award nominees were recently announced and while Lady Gaga nabbed a historic 13 nominations for the year, it is the nominations surrounding Beyonce and Rihanna that has Stans acting a fool on the blogs.  It is so hilarious when the Stans defend celebrities like it's their mama.

"Beyonce got 8 Noms while sitting on her a** while Rihanna working and falling on stage only got 1 lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

By Souleo. If Grammy Award-winning recording artist/producer, David Banner has his way we will soon be asking where did all the pop stars go.  Known for his lyrical wit, high energy and skilled production credits (T.I.'s "Rubberband Man") David has teamed up with fellow hip-hop heavyweight producer, 9^th Wonder (Little Brother, Jay-Z, Beyonce) for the collaborative album Death of a Pop Star. The thought provoking collection is a look at the state of the music industry and the devaluing of music driven by a lack of substance.

It's a hot topic but David is not one to bite his tongue.  Yesterday he gave us his tips on style for big and tall men and today he talked his love for Burberry, never thinking he'd make it this far in the industry, his thick pleasure tool and more.

Stop the hype: The beef against south music.

I wish I could: I want to be invisible so I could sneak into my favorite actress' room and watch her get dressed.

Currently crazy about: God of War III.

Favorite brand/designer: Burberry because they are the only top line of clothes that make clothing for big men.  Even when I lose weight and I'm in shape I'm very muscular.  So it's hard to find shirts that fit my shoulder width and arms.

Five years from now: I want to own a professional basketball team in Mississippi.

When I was younger: I would have never dreamed I'd be doing the stuff that I am doing now from acting in movies to producing Gatorade commercials.  That's what I mean by the power of God.  There is no losing for me anymore even if nothing else happens for me again but I know it will.

If I were the opposite sex: I would probably be attracted to me.

One thing that makes me a good lover: Width and girth.

By Souleo. Everywhere you turn whether you're petite, curvy, average sized or big and tall there is always some so-called fashion expert enforcing a list of do's and don'ts to help you develop the right style.  If you're Grammy Award-winning recording artist/producer, David Banner you boldly disregard such advice.  While promoting his new collaborative album with producer, 9^th Wonder (Little Brother, Jay-Z and Beyonce) David noted that big and tall men need to follow their own inner style guide.

"I realized that most of the guidelines for fashion come from people who have limitations.  Once they get in a power position they put those limits on others because it works for them.  I think once you're comfortable with who you are you see that fashion has to do with you.  It is internal and once others see your swagger they will be trying to figure out what you do," he said.

One of David's best tips for big and tall men to begin developing their own sense of style is by shopping early at their favorite stores for the widest selection of choices possible.

"Being big you have to shop early and know when a new line is coming out.  The big sizes especially for name brands go quick.  So for the everyday guy who has some money to spend on fashion during the recession be on it and be in the stores."

In the end whether or not you have money to shop doesn't matter to David so long as you maintain confidence as your best accessory.

"True fashion isn't something you buy.  It's something that just is so if you don't have it then it's nothing.  I can stand here buck naked and be a fashion icon 'cause I just am."

Now that's the kind of confidence that men and women of every size can use a little more of when it comes to style.
