And If You Ain't No Punk...

She gives me money!

According to Access Hollywood and TMZ.com, Lachey reportedly had the papers drawn up by a lawyer before the pair exchanged vows in 2002, when he was the more popular of the celebrity duo. But Simpson allegedly refused to sign the documents.

Several publications put the couple's joint worth at around $50 million, and under California law, Lachey would be entitled to half of whatever the couple made after their marriage, unless they reach a settlement.

To paraphrase Kanye West:
If you aint no punk holla We Want Prenupt
WE WANT PRENUPT!, Yeaah
It's something that you need to have
Cause when she he leave yo ass she he gone leave with half

Magic Stick Indeed

50 Cent, having already milked the hell out of his name and G-Unit through clothes, a feature film (I still don't know how it got two thumbs up from Ebert & Roeper), and even a video game, is not content to stop there apparantly. He wants to get into the adult toy industry as well. Says 50:

"I need to make a 50 Cent condom, and a motorised version of me. A motorised version of me will definitely have to be waterproof, so you could utilise it in the tub. A lot of them vibrators aren't waterproof.”

Now I can't get that creepy image out of my head.

School Spirit

Now that the college football season is winding down, I thought I'd share this oldie but goodie.

Some of my favorites include Tulsa/R. Kelly, Kansas State/Master P, and Ole Miss/Jurassic 5.

And yes, this is somewhat of an excuse to gloat over UGA's victory over the Yellow Jackets.

I blame Erykah Badu.

In other OutKast news, there are conflcting reports about the duo's new project. Some report that the film and soundtrack (which will serve as OutKast's next LP) will be pushed back until 2006. Others report that both projects have been shelved completely. I guess we will have to wait and see.

"When You See Them Confederate Flags, You Know What It Is..."

Which is why Luda's appearance at the Vibe Awards confuses me. He says:

"The discussions that have been sparked after my performance of 'Georgia' at the 2005 Vibe Awards is my exact reason for wearing a depiction of the Confederate Flag," said Ludacris via a statement. "This flag represents the oppression that we as African Americans have endured for years; this is a symbol of segregation and the racism that reigned not only throughout the South but throughout the entire United States.

"I wore it to represent where we came from, to remind people that Ray Charles' original 'Georgia' was written because of that racism," he added. "At the end of the performance, I removed and stomped on the flag to reveal my version of the flag; a flag comprised of black, red and green. Those are the colors of Africa. It is a representation and my interpretation of where we were and where we need to go."

Each to his own I guess.

Despite criticisms of Luda, "Georgia" is still one of my favorite songs to come out this year, although I really wish they kept the original Ray Charles sample.

And not to nitpick, but "Georgia On My Mind" was originally written about a woman by Stuart Gorrell and Hoagy Carmichael in 1930. The song wasn't officially associated with the state until Georgia adopted it as the state song in 1979.
