As hams were being tossed down a relay line Monday morning, an eight-pounder whacked Deen in the face.

The errant ham “hit me full long in the face and ’bout knocked me cuckoo, but I’m fine,” a laughing Deen told WXIA-TV. She iced her nose to keep down the swelling.

The Food Network star was on hand to donate 25,000 pounds of protein before Hosea Feed the Hungry’s Thanksgiving dinner.

Well, I know what you’re thinking, “Do you have video?!?” Of COURSE we have Video. Jimmy Kimmel of Jimmy Kimmel Live has the best video I’ve found. It shows the ham hitting her in the face. He also accompanies the video with a nice “awareness” song for all the celebrities out there who might find themselves in a similar philanthropist role. The message, Don’t Get Hit In The Face With A Ham.

Because strippers go to college too.

Because someones parents paid for this.

Because young black women dont value their bodies.

Because young black men only value young black womens bodies.

Because I threw a dollar @ my Macbook.

Because its hard not to shake your ass @ Lil Wayne.

Because I cant read your ass when its moving so fast.

Because if you had a dad he would kick your ass!

Well, as you can imagine, this didn’t go over too well with the ladies of Twerk Team, who in turn did what every scorned young black person does, they made a diss song! Delivery and flow aside, they actually have some decent lines in this diss and even make reference to knowing some things about Ms. Head that she might not want to come to light about her Boyfriend/Husband Eddie Winslow. Anyhoo, for your viewing pleasure, the vid is below.

A History of Violence (Killer Mike blog post on XXL.com)

A good friend of mine always says to me that the definition of insanity is the act of repeating the same behaviors and expecting a different result. Even if this is not the Merriam-Webster’s definition, it best explains my plight of saving black boys.

I’m sure by now we have all witnessed via WorldStar or YouTube the unfortunate and untimely death of Chicago honor student Derrion Albert. The footage sickened me and nearly brought me to tears. When viewing the video my mind put other faces from my childhood in place of the ones I was seeing. I saw Woo Dog and Spanky, both of whom were high school friends and died on Atlanta’s concrete corners, bullet riddled within a year of one another.

I saw Derrion as “Stinky” a small and loved kid who went to another high school and was stomped to death by an older student for speaking to his girlfriend. I saw Ronnie who is now a public school educator, but had it not been for a gunshot to the knee during a fight with students from a rival high school, who would (not could) have been a professional athlete. Even now as adults, when I see him on occasion I still see an 18-year-old on crutches crushed at the thought of his dream being lost because of an interschool rivalry. A rivalry between Frederick Douglass High and Benjamin E. Mays High nonetheless— cold and brutal irony that in the name of a black emancipator and educator, we black boys waged war in the street against one another. Why did we fight, for what? Truthfully, I still don’t know….

The two girls in front of us were drunk before the game started. They grabbed one of our signs and trashed it (real classy) because we’re Vikings fans, and then spent most of the first half mocking us instead of watching the game because the Lions were ahead.

They left their seats and we thought they were gone for good but somehow they managed to buy even more beer and get back to their seats. They were spilling beer on themselves, the seats, and some of the other fans. After they spilled quite a bit of beer on the guys in the row below them, they turned around and told them to SIT DOWN. One girl didn’t like that so she poured the rest of her beer on his head. Then I knew it was time to start the camera

I love football games…

IMMEDIATELY following this incident, the internets were on FIRE! From Twitter to Facebook, everybody was talking Kanye. I’m sure you’ve read 1000 opinions on what people thought of Kanye, but I’m going to go ahead and give you mine so you can have 1001.
What ‘Ye did was totally unprofessional and inappropriate. He could’ve blogged about it later on, said how he felt in an interview, or if he won an award, said what he though. That was Taylor Swift’s time and she deserved the right to say what she needed to say. Now, Kanye did have a point; Beyonce probably should’ve won the award (I mean, how do you win Video of the year but not Best Female Video?) but that was neither the time nor the place to do so. Oh, and Kanye exited the building shortly thereafter. I can’t be totally mad, though. Kanye already dropped prophecy on us with this gem…

Onto the weird category, Lady GaGa had this on LOCK. Her outfits were…Lady GaGa-ish. She twice looked like a used tampon, once looked like something resembling a lion in a dress, and once looked like The Mysterious M from The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Reh Dogg and...Guitar

Whaddup?!? About 3 years ago the phenomenon known as Reh Dogg was unleashed onto the world. In case you didn’t know, or thought you thought you knew but then found out you actually didn’t know, Reh Dogg is an urban rap artist (and I use that term very loosely) who is most known for being one of the pioneers of emo rap with his hit single Why Must I Cry?, along with his status as a YouTube singing Superstar. His lyrical content spans from caring for underprivileged children , the pressures of dealing with body image, mental health, and faith.
Reh Dogg was first brought to public attention in November 2006 by hip hop websites such as All Hip Hop.

Anywayz, I stumbled across a remix of Reh Dogg’s hit song, Why Must I Cry?. I’ll post both the Original and the remix.
