    Gumby n' Art Clokey

    Art Clokey, the creator of the “Gumby” doll, passed away at the age of 88.

    Clokey and his wife, Ruth, invented Gumby in the early 1950s at their Covina home shortly after Art had finished film school at USC. After a successful debut on “The Howdy Doody Show,” Gumby soon became the star of its own hit television show, “The Adventures of Gumby,” the first to use clay animation on television.

    Wale Ft. Lady Gaga Chillin Song-M.I.A. Rip

    New fun summer song “Chillin”, by Wale ft. Lady Gaga, is sounding a bit like an MIA track. This is just my own opinion, but I’ve been following artist MIA since early 2000, and this Wale/Lady Gaga song is very much like MIA’s original one-of-a kind style.

    MIA’s chart topping song “Paper Planes” made radio soon after big film “Pineapple Express” was released in theaters. Yes, it has taken MIA almost 10 years to hit mainstream radio! Anyway, if you listen to her latest record, that will show you just how similar the style of “Chillin” is to MIA’s flavor. It’s really more of Lady Gaga that sounds like she’s ripping of MIA’s style. I love you Gaga, but it’s true. Wonder if this song was originally written to ft. MIA?

    Here’s the Wale ft. Lady Gaga first. Below this will be MIA’s Paper Planes song. Listen to the similarities if you care:

    Ne-Yo

    Ne-Yo

    Why make a bigger deal about the GAY rumors?

    R&B artist “Ne-Yo” (what does that stand for?), wrote a recent blog stating that he is NOT gay.

    Sometimes I think there should be an internet co-op of people that stop certain Celebrities from blogging. R.A.C.B.: Readers Against Celebrity Bloggers

    Here is Ne-Yo’s fun blog explaining that he is NOT gay:

    “One rule of being a gentleman is to keep your cool and composure at all cost, but right about now I gotta loosen up this tie and take off this expensive suit jacket and talk to the people for a minute. The haters especially.
    Pardon my french, but what the fuck is wrong with y’all!?! Are you so desperate for an R&B bad guy that you gotta find a way to create one in me??

    Okay, the comment about light skinned babies…….an obvious joke, maybe not a good joke, but clearly a joke.Y’all REALLY took that serious!?!
    I understand that a hater’s job is to hate, clearly. But it’s when people start feeding in to what a hater is saying that something must be addressed.
