Rumors have been circulating about Stacey Dash not returning to VH1's hit show "Single Ladies." According to many websites, In Touch Weekly allegedly reported that Stacey Dash was let go from the show and they are looking for her replacement.

Honestly, I can't picture Stacey Dash saying that, but I don't know her personally.

Megan Good Celebrates Birthday And Pulled Over The Same Night

This past weekend, the beautiful Megan Good celebrated her 30th birthday with a private party in Los Angeles. After leaving her party, Megan was pulled over. According to Megan, the officers assumed she was drinking, since she was celebrating her birthday earlier that night. She released this statement:

"For the record all … I DID NOT get a DUI. I got pulled over because the valet turned my lights off. Once they found out I was leaving my own birthday party, they insisted I must of had at least a drink and expressed they’d feel more comfortable with someone else driving me home.


I definitely wasn’t gonna argue with that because I recognize God’s grace when I see it, and whether I had one drink or five drinks, the law says zero drinks so I’m thanking God I got through my 30th and praising God for the grace only he can give!"

Bonus: Old School Joint Of The Day: "I Like It" By Debarge

Last night, I was tuned into TV One's unsung. Debarge was being profiled on the popular series. Its such a tragedy that so much talent in one family go to waste. From the entire family being drug addicts, El letting his promising career going down the drain, to Bobby Debarge dying from aids because of heroin. But I can say that their music will always live on. Many artists have sampled their music, such as Tupac, Biggy, Mary J. Blige, and Nelly.I remember watching 106 & Park and El Debarge was there promoting his album "second chance". Terrance and Rocsi spoke on on how artists sampled Debarge music. They asked him his favorite and he answered Tupac "I ain't mad at cha." I felt exactly the same way. As a tribute to the amazing Debarge family, here is an old school video of the Debarge performing their hit song "I like it."
