| Hip-Hop Rumors: Rihanna Calls The Cops! Should Jay-Z Retire? Illseed's ...
I don't know what's going on over there. Jay-Z has his whole “this is an audio album" thing with American Gangster. Well, why not sell it on iTunes? I heard that Jay-Z only wanted to sell the album as a whole piece and that's noble. I also heard a rumor that iTunes may not go towards SoundScan numbers. If that's the case, I am sure that Jay-Z wants people to go and cop the album so he can break Elvis' record! Did you read about it? Jay-Z is set to tie with Elvis in No. 1 albums. But I say break it since Elvis is no longer with us to make No. 1 records. Read the story here. Hey, help Jay break that record! A win for him is a win for Hip-Hop! Buy the American Gangster album for $9.99 and cheaper right here! SHOULD JAY HAVE STAYED RETIRED? I was reading the paper and they are saying that Jay-Z should have stayed retired.

Flushing Them Out (52)
Daniela lives down the street from a drug dealer, not a safe environment for a young family. She knows the guy's name, his address and she's seen him do business. But she can't call the police — they might take her away. She's learned how to walk quietly, to stay in the shadows. The only place Daniela allows herself to go is her children's elementary school. She volunteers there six hours a day. She says it's her responsibility to be active in her children's education. But when she walks to school (she won't drive, ever) she makes sure to go with one of her few friend or her kids. "You can't walk alone because if you are walking alone and you get taken, who is going to tell your family you are gone?" she says. "When you walk, you walk fast and you walk quiet. You don't talk to nobody.
The sleepless stress of a troubled star
My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going," he said, while admitting he also "stressed out a little too much" about his role in the Bob Dylan film I'm Not There. Yesterday, the 28-year-old Australian film star was found dead, face-down and naked at the foot of his bed in his rented SoHo apartment in Manhattan. There were prescription drugs, including sleeping pills, by his bed. Only hours earlier, his Australian co-star in I'm Not There, Cate Blanchett, was nominated for two Academy Awards. Despite wide speculation about suicide, nobody yet knows what killed Ledger, or what part drugs played. In Perth, his family insisted the death was accidental. It is understood they will arrange for his body to be flown home where he will be laid to rest.
DMN editorial board recommends Mike Huckabee for the Republican ...
Huckabee's emphasis on diplomatic engagement in the Middle East is fresh and welcome. Mr. Huckabee established a respectable record of fiscal responsibility in Arkansas. Rather than run up deficits, he backed raising taxes to pay for needed infrastructure, health care and education. That's called prudence, and it was once a Republican virtue. Mr. Huckabee is not an ideal candidate. Once a Bush-style Republican on immigration, his recent hard-right turn smells of opportunism. He too often wings it on foreign policy. But Govs. Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush also took office without foreign-policy experience. Much depends on the quality of a president's advisers. A chief executive's core foreign-policy convictions matter most, and on those, Mr.

ORINDA, Calif. -- Nancy, a 23-year-old married graduate student, was well-dressed, quite pretty, and meticulously groomed. During the first 40 minutes of her initial therapy session, she had talked about feeling anxious, depressed, sleepless, and generally cranky for no apparent cause. Suddenly she blurted out, "Then there is this problem with my hair." She tore off her beret and bent her head forward so that her chin was pressed against her chest. There before me was a bald spot over more than a third of her head. "I pull it out one strand at a time. It's a nervous habit. I can stop it when I think about it. But then I watch tv or start reading a book, and I start all over again. It drives my husband crazy. He is sick and tired of shouting at me to stop. When he hollers, I stop doing it at least for a while...
