SAY WHAT?




"Put this in the magazine: There's nothing more to be said about music. I'm the fucking end-all, be-all of music. I know what I'm doing. I did 808s in three weeks. I got it. It's on cruise control. . . . Man, we talked about music for God knows how long! Now let's talk about how my fucking sweater didn't come back right from Korea. That's what's interesting me."

--Kanye West (in a recent issue of Details)

SAY WHAT?


"Oh, Paul Rudd is dreamy. . . So one time I was fast asleep on the couch, and I just feel Paul and his gentle touch on my shoulder going, 'Hey, Jase, wake up. It’s time to wake up, buddy. Wake up.' And I slowly open my eyes, and Paul is standing there with his dick out. And he just gives me this weird, mischievous smile and walked out of the room."

- Jason Segel on his I Love You Man co-star Paul Rudd, to Time Out NY

Back In The Day



While we're on Rihanna's nutsack, here's a throwback pic of her from she was a little kid. I know I'm wrong.

Double Take



Are they the same person? Don't act like you didn't see this one coming!

R.I.P.



Actress and daughter of Vanessa Redgrave, Natasha Richardson was not able to survive the brain injury she suffered while skiing in Canada on a beginners course on Monday. She was on life support; but was brain dead so the tragic decision was made to take her off of the support.

The British actress' husband, Liam Neeson, has officially confirmed the tragic news, issuing a related press release that reads:

"Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."


May she rest in peace.

Just Saying...



What the heck happened to 50 Cent? Is he really THAT desperate?

50 Cent is due to join Fall Out Boy on their Believers Never Die Part Deux tour!!!

The Rapper/Designer/Vitamin Water Entrepreneur/Douche du Jour has been announced to be performing at the April 14th date of FOB's Believers tour in Dallas, TX.

He's signed on to open for the band at 5 shows total.

50? Fall Out? 50 opening for someone; who wears guyliner(heavy eyeliner on Pete Wentz)? What in the world will they think of next?


P.S. Why the hell did 50 and Paris get together? I mean this was a little back but I bet during those weeks, the first case of Gonnor-Herpes-Syphil-Aids was made and contracted. *shudders in disgust*

Eargasm


This is an amazing new song from Daniel Merriweather & Adele, two of my favorite; as well as under-rated artists. You may know Daniel Merriweather from several Wale' tracks or the hit hit song "Stop Me" with super-producer Mark Ronson. Adele is most recently famous from her song "Chasing Pavement" . The song is called Water & Flame and will be featured on Merriweather's disc, Love & War.

Chris Brown/Rihanna Case: Tina Davis' Statement



Earlier on, we told you that the woman that started the altercation between the two songbirds, Chris Brown and Rihanna; was none other than Chris' longtime manager: Tina Davis. Reports identified Tina Davis, the 40-year-old long time manager of Chris Brown, as the woman who sent him the text message - of an "intimate nature" - that ignited the fight with Rihanna last month.

In the past, Davis has been dogged by rumors of an inappropriate sexual relationship with Brown, rumors which she has denied constantly.

Davis just issued a statement through her lawyer, Marshall B. Grossman.

It reads:

"The relationship between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown is that of manager and client. There has never been any other relationship. The rumors in circulation are false. There are no emails between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown of the type which have been described in media reports.

If the source of the false rumors is identified, legal action will be taken. Given the nature of the legal issues affecting Mr. Brown, Ms. Davis will not be making any further statements."



Carefully orchestrated! 'Pardon mon francois' buttt BITCH YOU THINK WE DUMB?!!?

Notice how the statement denies the existence of "emails" but makes no mentions of the text message, which is what had actually been reported.

Just Another Maverick Monday....

Hey, everyone! How did y'alls weekend go? Anything you looking forward to in next few days? Anything youre glad is put behind you now that it's Monday?

Alexander McQueen Show @ Paris Fashion Week

Can you say FIERCE FEROSH?? THIS IS FASHION!



Fierce Ferosh!



Beyonce, or as I like to call her; B-Nasty on the cover of L.A. Confedential, looking fierce ferocious(ferosh)! Last time I checked, Beyonce was thicker than a Snicker; but photoshop does WONDERS!

Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave..



So, just days after it being reported that not only did Robyn Rihanna Fenty and Christopher Brown had a reconciliation in Sean Diddy Combs' house not too long ago, it also being reported that they have been recording tracks, and possibly a duet with the assistance of Polow Da Don. Along with that comes the news that the illicit text message sent to Brown that started the alleged incident was actually sent by none other than Tina Davis, Brown's longtime manner; who has previously faced rumors of a possible relationship with Brown. We'll be released her statement later on today.

Whatever it takes....

...I know I can make it through!

For all my degrassi lovers (yeah, sometimes it's embarassing to admit but c'mon): I got something for you! It's a mini trailer for the brand new feature length Degrassi film, Degrassi Goes To Hollywood. The titles pretty original, huh?

WOAH: Tanning Bed Erupts Into Flames...With Customer Inside!


A South Carolina man was almost burnt to a crisp when the bed he was tanning in erupted into flames!

The tanner escaped from the tanning bed, when it felt a burning sensation (the flame) on his foot.

Jeez Louise!

The South Carolina strip mall was promptly evacuated after the bed burst into flames and firefighters had to spend over an hour battling the blaze! Moral of the story: it's okay to be pasty and white, y'all! Is death really worth being orange?

Just Saying...

Why do bake cookies and cook bacon? That's some theoretical shiz, dude.

Detective Notes From The Rihanna/Chris Brown Trial and Case!



The maverick's sources have leaked the Detectives notes that will play a huge role in the entire court case. We cannot print the official paper as it may get some people in trouble *hee hee*...BUT, we can re-type and let the public read for themselves. Rihanna will be referred to as Robyn F. Her real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, and Chris Brown will be referred to as Christopher Brown or just Brown throughout the notes.

From the detective's notes:

"Christopher B and Robyn F have been involved in a dating relations for approx 1 and half year. On Sunday Feb 8 at 25 hours Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robin F picked brown,s cellular phone and picked up a three-page text message from a woman Brown had had a previous relationship with.

"A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled a vehicle over in an unknown street. Reach over Robyn F with his right hand and open the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit he took his right hand and shoved her head against the passenger window of the vehcile causing an approx 1 inch raised circular contusion.

"Robyn F turned to face Brown and punched her in the left eye with right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F Osmouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle. Brown looked at Robyn F and stated "I am going to beat the s–t out of you when we get home! You wait and see!?

"Robyn F picked her cellular phone and called her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales. Rosales did not answer the telephone but while her vm greeting was playing Robyn F pretended to talk to her and stated "I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there? (this statement was made while greeting was playing and was not captured) after Robyn f faked the call, Brown and looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I really am going to kill you.'
"Brown resumed punching Robyn F and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist placing her elbows and face near her lap and in attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied by Brown. Brown continued to punch Robyn F on her left arm and hands, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps that was approx 2 inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand. Robyn f attempted to send another text message to other personal assistant Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window to an unknown street. Brown continued driving and Robyn F observed his cellular phone in his lap. She picked up the cellular phone with her left hand, and before she could make a call, he placed her in a head lock with right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

"Brown held Robyn F close to him and bit her on her left hear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of [address] and Robyn F turned off the car removed the key from inignition and sat on it. Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F left and right carotid arteries causing her to be unable to breath. She began to lose consciousness. She reached up with her left hand and began to attempting to gauge his eyes in attempt to flee herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and released her. While brown continued to punch her she turned around a place her back to against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest and placed her feet against Brown,s body and began pushing him away.

"Brown continued to punch her on legs and feet causing several contusions. Robyn F began screaming for help. And Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighbor heard Robyn F,s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F was issued a domestic violence protective order (EPO). Affiant conducted an interview with Melissa Ford who advised on Feb. 8 2009 at 2500 hours she received a phone call from Robin F from an unknown telephone number later identified as the telephone number of Officer Chavez. Robin F had advised Ford that she had been assaulted by Brown. At approx at 1 am Brown called Ford as nothing happened. Ford advised Brown that she had already talked to Robin F and was aware of what happened. Ford had advised brown that the neighbors had called police and that they were with Robyn F. Brown had asked Ford if robin F had provided police with his name. And ford advised him that she had. Brown hung up the telephone and did not call back.

"On Feb. 8, Brown turned himself in and was given a copy of the EPO and advised to not contact Robyn.

"On Feb. 17 Ford advised the affiant that she had received text messages from … a number that Ford recognized as belonging to Brown. In the text message Brown apologized for what he had done to Robin F. and advised Ford he was going to get help."

More Photos From The Circus....





The Greatest Show In The World....



The one and only Britney Spears kicked off her CIRCUS tour in New Orleans last night. In a nutshell...

The Pussycat Dolls went on at 8:00 P.M. sharp and put on an energetic 40-minute set of hits. Robin Antin, the group's founder, told us that they had just one day and only two hours on stage to reconfigure their arena show to be in-the-round, as is the case with Britney's 3-stage circus.There was a pre-show featuring clowns, martial arts and acrobatics, and Britney went on at approximately 9:20 P.M, playing for about an hour and forty minutes.

Spears descended from the roof on an apparatus and kicked things off with the appropriately-themed Circus.

To answer the usual skeptic question...Yes, she lipsynchs during the entire concert. There is no live singing. None! She recorded vocals to "sound like" live, but they were all canned, pre-taped. But I don't care. I don't want to hear her live...I want a show! And if Britney's anything--she's a performer. It was the first show of tour so I'm guessing things weren't perfect but she has a lot more stops to go to work on it.She's baaaaaaaack.

I'M REALLY EXCITED, PERSONALLY. SHE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE PERFORMERS AND I'LL BE GIVING A MORE CRITICAL AND FIRST-HAND REVIEW WHEN I ATTEND HER D.C. SHOW.

Until then...I'll post some more pictures of the show.

New Leads In Chris Brown/Rihanna Case...Blood Found In Car



With Chris Brown's March 5th arraignment on the horizon stemming from his alleged assault with Rihanna and the prosecution struggling to make a case with the DA, evidence from a blood-stained Lamborghini just might give the case the exact credibility it needs

Entertainment show, Extra! had a forensic scientist examine photos of Brown's vehicle along with the police photo of Rihanna's battered face and concluded that it's more than probable that the blood in the car's interior INDEED belongs to Rihanna.

Expert Mary Pierson explained, "Rihanna’s face was bruised and the corners of her mouth did show bleeding. So yes, there could have been blood from the mouth on the console [from] hitting or some kind of low impact blow. The photos identify the crime scene. If indeed it is her blood, and I suspect it is…They have to corroborate everything that she says. You’ve got it all there. You’ve got this case beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecute it!"

Well, the Maverick will be sure to follow the case. All we can do at this time is wish both parties well and wait for the outcome. I'll keep you posted.

The Circus Is Coming To Town!!

These are just SOME of Britney's and the backup dancer's outfit changes during the show....BRITNEY HERSELF HAS OVER 20! UNBELIEVABLE!

Oh, nothing; just a PEPTO BISMOL DOLPHIN!




The Modern Day Maverick shits you not!
This is not photoshopped, it's a pink dolphin!
Actually he's not "pink" per say....actually, albino.
But still, this is a 5 year old little girl's dream....a pink dolphin?

The color is the result of albinism, which is indicated by its red eyes as well as its pink skin. Charter boat captain Erik Rue spotted and photographed the pink dolphin, saying, "I had never seen anything like it. It's the same color throughout the whole body and it looks like it just came out of a paint booth."Regina Asmutis-Silvia, senior biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society reminds folks to "be careful, as with any dolphins, to respect it - observe from a distance, limit their time watching, don't chase or harass it."
