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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Let's cross our fingers and hope that the rumors are true! Today, SandraRose.com reported that the Atlanta rapper may be released early from his bid at Arkansas' Forrest Prison and moved to a half-way house. These rumors have not been confirmed by the proper sources. Currently, T.I. is still serving his original sentence of 366-days, which began back in May.

Regardless of the matter, T.I. is is one of the most trendy rappers in music. In one of our favorite songs, "Live Your Life (featuring Rihanna), the self-proclamied King of the South raps about ignoring haters and urges that we simply live our lives to the very fullest. Tip equally motivates us to stay on top of our game... with style. in the song he spits:

"I'm the opposite of moderate. Immaculately polished. With the spirit of a hustler. And the swagger of a college kid"

2009 is a big year for celeb haircuts and new-do's. Just about every female in the game retransformed their head of hair to the mohawk... Cassie, Lala and Rihanna just to name a few. But as of late, a couple of ladies have taken new leaps of style and are experimenting with a the old school 'mulock'. A haircut which is usually defined as 'business in the front, party in the back'. If your not to familiar with this style, you can check out R&B bad girl, Kelis. She updated her MySpace profile with a new press photo for her upcoming project... which is still untitled.

Aside from Kelis, Diddy's new female duo, Dirty Money (Dawn Richard & Kalenna), are frequently seen rockin' mulock's in appearances and in their latest music video, "Love Come Down".

And just in case you are having a bad hair day or may have made the mistake of going for the wrong hair-cut, you can also cover up with a cool hat. Stay warm and look cool this Winter. Check out what JimmyJazz.com stock for women, men, girls & boys.
