The latest issue of Ebony magazine lists the top 25 coolest brothers of all-time. Those on the list included Billy Dee Williams, Prince, Samuel L. Jackson, Jay-Z, and Barack Obama. Those just missing the list included: Rudy from Fat Albert (#27), Uncle Anderson (#32), and myself (a disappointing #194).

Do You Smell What Kim Is Cooking?

She has conquered the fields of reality TV, sex tapes and big asses, so what's next for our beloved Kim Kardashian? Why, a perfume of course! According to online reports, it's due on the shelves in May of next year. Umm, I bet it smells like red beans, rice and fresh cornbread.

I Love Money

VH-1, you fiend! Why do I ever doubt them? They have done it again. Tonight was the season premiere of VH-1's latest reality show, I Love Money. Former contestants from Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and I Love New York all in a house together? Check. Alcohol? Check. Hot girls like Hoopz and Megan walking around in bikinis? Check. Sass? Check. Dumb ass midgets? Check. $250,000 on the line for one winner? Check. A host that looks like the son of Donnie Simpson? Check. Add all that up and what do you get? Reality perfection. Tonight's premiere was an hour and a half long and I wished it could have gone longer. The premiere was great and the previews looked even better. How could you miss with the cast that was assembled though? How could anything with Pumpkin, the midget from I Love New York, Rodeo and Brandi not be great? It's gonna be a heck of a season. During the show, they showed promos for upcoming shows like Brooke Knows Best, New York Goes to Hollywood and shows featuring Puff Daddy and Luke from the 2 Live Crew. Can we just crown VH-1 as the greatest channel ever and get it over with?

TNA Spin Cycle

Here's another edition of TNA Spin Cycle, this time with Jim Cornette, Frank Trigg, Roxxi and Kaz. According to wrestlingobserver.com, they are considering making this a series on Spike TV. I sure hope so; I could watch this for hours. Check out Roxxi's hoop earrings-- ya jinglin' baby!:

More Raw Notes

(Better late than never). A few more notes from Monday's Raw that I forgot to comment on after the title change hoopla... Triple H leaves and immediately a new guy gets elevated. Coincidence?... Cody Rhodes might finally break through. Ted Jr. has been solid thus far. Not many tag teams for them to face though... Vince's edict to feature more blacks continues to roll. Kofi Kingston is a champion on the number one show, Mark Henry is a "world" champion, Cryme Tyme is hanging with John Cena, the wedding planner has been added on Smackdown (and is slated for a more prominent role soon), and D-Lo Brown and Ron Killings were brought back. How long until this Michael Hayes controversy dies down and they all get jobbed out? At one point it was rumored that when Hayes came off of his suspension he would have to address all of the black wrestlers in a meeting. I would have paid cash money to sit in on that one. And additional money if someone would have cut off the lights and brought in a brick... How about that Katie Lea Burchill?... Michael Cole is still terrible. Let the "Ross Returns to Raw" countdown begin... Tonight: Impact!

Pam vs. Jessica Feud

A couple of weeks ago Jessica Simpson wore a t-shirt that said "Real Women Eat Meat", kind of taking a shot at vegeterian Carrie Underwood, the ex of her boyfriend Tony Romo. Well yesterday animal lover Pamela Anderson called Jessica a "bitch" and a "whore". Such language! I know Jessica can be annoying and dumb, but a bitch? She seems kind of nice. A whore? Is she really out selling it on the streets? It looks like there is only one way to get this resolved: Vince McMahon should step in and get this set up for SummerSlam. And with the sad shape of both of their careers, I'm sure they would jump at the chance to be on a highly rated show. Seriously, like pro wrestling would be beneath these tramps! Pam is hosting parties and Jessica is now better known as Ashlee's less hot sister. This ain't 1995; they would jump at the chance. Vince, come out of your fake coma and get this done!

New Champ!

Now that's how you make stars! In a surprise move, WWE pulled the trigger on a young talent and made C.M. Punk the new World Champion on last night's Raw show. They set it up so well too. After Jim Ross came out to give his Farewell To Raw speech in front of his hometown crowd, Edge interrupted and had his flunkies escort Ross out. Batista came in and beat him down, which led to Punk cashing in the Money In The Bank briefcase to get his immediate title shot. They waited so long to ring the bell that I was sure Edge would get out of it, but Punk hit the Go To Sleep and won the belt in about ten seconds. And just like that, you have a fresh main event picture. What took you thick-headed bastards so long?
