James Brown's estate up for grabs?

LaRhonda Petitt, a 45-yr. old retired flight attendant and school teacher says she has spent her whole life walking around looking like her daddy, namely James Brown, and wants a piece of what was in his will. I have to say, like in my previous blog regarding the King of Soul, or as I've liked to refer to him as Poppa Dynomite, the MAN IS DEAD people... let it go. His Last Will and Testament has 6 legitimate children listed; if you haven't been around to be acknowledged as someone he was close to, get over it - you're not getting a piece. What kills me is that Petitt was quoted saying, "I'm not talking no negative talk, I'm talking about what's right." Well... it's a good thing she retired from teaching because her English is "hurt." Darlin' if you're going to go public, know what you're going to say and say it right - and then of course don't attempt a lesson in morals or on how to tell the difference between right and wrong. Will somebody summon the Whaaaambulance on this lady? Please.... before someone else wants another scrap of carpet from the dead man's house.

I Have No Tissues For Celebrity Issues

So, Bette Midler took it upon herself to remove a bunch of “nonnative” trees around one of her property in Kauai. This was apparently done without a permit. Now the City is inclined to charge her a fine – a fine for cutting down 230 trees in a vacant lot that was not in use. For God’s sakes people, it’s a celebrity who wanted to make her living environment a better place. Don’t forget that she’s well-known for her support of recycling and many Green organizations. Once more, another City takes one in the ass and wants to squeeze money from the rich for it. Leave the lady alone… sell her the vacant lot if you want money that bad! 7 out of 10… call the Whaaaambulance on those City peeps. Better yet, cut another 250 trees in an unknown, vacant lot.

Amy, Amy, Amy… Mrs. Winehouse canceled her tours on American and Canadian soil so that she can rest for her reported condition of exhaustion. Normally I’d say screw the tabloids, but in this case I’m impartial. The buzz is that she used to have past battles with drugs and a penchant for alcohol and marijuana. Well that explains her malnutrition-look. It’s either that or she’s anorexic… for being age 23, she’s pretty tiny – like Calista Flockhart pre Harrison Ford. Just go to rehab, baby girl. Don’t sing about it. 5 out of 10… call the Whaaaambulance if she still refuses to go to rehab.




Another attempt made to nab the cash from a celebrity… a dead one at that… A third woman was given a 99.99% probability that her son was sprung from the loins of James Brown. If the hoe is second-guessing where her son came from, that tells you something. James Brown died on Christmas Day, 2006. Why on Earth would someone be so concerned over a dead man’s money? Must we cause him to turn in his grave? 6 out of 10… call the Whaaaambulance on James Brown’s concubines who couldn’t keep track of who they were sleeping with.
