OpenEntrance - What’s Really Going OnWhat’s Really Going On

After watching Part 1 of the Sarah Palin interview with Katie Couric, it is almost sad what the Republican party has done with Sarah Palin. It is very clear to anyone that is paying attention that she is thoroughly unprepared, but the real tragedy is that she could have possibly had a political future. Her inability over these last few weeks to answer any questions is almost frightening that she could still possibly end up only a heart beat away from being the President.  Palin has only been asked rather basic questions and almost nothing in regards to policy. Saying it is nice as I can, she is proving to be an absolutely terrible selection for VP.

Every time that the media is given access to Palin, which I sure will be rare, she will further embarrass herself and show that John McCain’s selection of her was simply an underestimation of women and their intelligence in the belief that they would support another woman although she is grossly unqualified.

Now it makes more sense why the McCain camp is trying to reschedule the debates. They are trying to train her behind closed doors very quickly, but it’s hard to teach a pit bull with lipstick new tricks.

Rapper LUDACRIS is crusading to get hip-hop fans into baseball.
The Disturbing Tha Peace label boss has teamed up with Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim star Torii Hunter to create a new online competition for budding rappers to create a theme song for the slugger.

Hunter says, “Ludacris and I were sitting around and thinking of ways to get urban kids into baseball, and one was through music.”

Hunter will promote the initiative by stepping up to the plate at upcoming Angels baseball games as tracks submitted to the WeMix.com competition are played over stadium sound systems. (KL//IG)

R+B singer NE-YO has forgiven BRITNEY SPEARS for not using any of his songs on her last album - insisting there is no “animosity” between the pair.
Ne-Yo penned six tracks for Spears to record for her hit 2007 album Blackout - but not one of the songs made it on to the final version of the LP.
But the singer/songwriter isn’t bitter about the decision - and is adamant that he can’t feel bad about the snub as he has never met the Toxic hitmaker.
He tells MSNBC.com, “I never met Britney Spears, I can’t have animosity with someone I don’t know. You have way bigger fish to fry, little mama, than me about a couple songs.

“I tried to call her, call her people. They didn’t want to return a phone call, so I said all right, well, I guess I will take these songs that were written for Britney and give them to other people. Time is money.” (LR/WNWCPS/ZN)

JERMAINE DUPRI has blamed the ailing U.S. economy for the closure of his restaurant Cafe Dupri.
The hip-hop producer has been forced to close the doors of the health-conscious eatery - launched in Atlanta, Georgia in 2005 - after failing to turn a profit over the years.
And he insists it is the nation’s dire financial situation which has brought about the establishment’s termination.
Dupri tells AllHipHop.com, “The economy has changed dramatically and people just aren’t eating out as much anymore.
“People are cutting back everywhere and a lot of companies, including Cafe Dupri, are feeling the effect.

“For the past two months business at the Cafe has been down and if the business isn’t making money, I feel it’s a smart move to shut it down. Bottom line: If it doesn’t make money, it doesn’t make sense.”

  Dash reportedly took out a $7.3 million (GBP3.65 million) mortgage on the two homes, but the bank has now filed a foreclosure action against the star - charging him with failing to deliver the $78,500 (GBP39,250)-a-month payments since January (08), according to New York gossip column PageSix.

It is not the first time Dash has faced a financial crisis - last year (07) he was accused of owing the New York tax department $2 million (GBP1 million) in back charges. (LR/WNWCPS/CL)
