Women Who Pick The Wrong Biological Dad

2005-10-06T08:40:00.000-07:00

(Mr. Flores, former father of Amber's oldest daughter, received the judge's agreement about stopping child support payment. He filed a suit in order to recoup some funds and ask Amber some questions). Amber Frey was Scott Peterson's girlfriend. She found help to write, "Witness for the Prosecution of Scott Peterson." She obtained the public's sympathy but then all hell broke loose with the revelation that she had picked the wrong guy as the father of her daughter.

In a message posted on his website, Chris said, ""As many of you are aware, I had been anxiously awaiting the addition of a new baby to my life. The baby has been born and both mother and child are in good health. Since the birth, however, we have discovered that biologically, the child is not mine.

As excited as I was about becoming a new father, my disappointment is equally as strong. So out of respect for all that are involved, please allow this situation to remain private and know that I will not be commenting further on this very personal matter. I'm thanking you in advance for your kind cooperation and understanding" (chriscagle.musiccitynetworks.com).

Why do women choose their offspring's paternity?

Security, money, fame, spotlight, father figure and more.

Raising The Social Consciousness of a Nation: America Responds with her Heart to Help Sons and Daughters

Katrina Karnival Relief Efforts: Remember the Good Ole Times in New Orleans!

AlldisasterRelief: Reconstruction of businesses and lives

In front of the aftermath of Katrina, criticism is sure to come from various sources. Last night, it came live from NBC’s Concert for Hurricane Relief.

Various famous sons and daughters of New Orleans and other affected areas participated, performed, and entertained the public while asking them to contribute to the Red Cross. Matt Lauer of NBC’s Today Show, was the emcee or host. The show was a simulcast from New York on NBC, CNBC, MSNBC and Pax.

Louisiana Native Tim McGraw sang two songs and signed a Gibson Les Paul guitar to be auctioned.

Mississippi native Faith Hill sang “There Will Come A Time.” The lyrics were very comforting to those who were watching “The darkness shall be gone; the weak will be strong. Hold on to your faith.”

Some of the other speakers include Richard Gere, Eric LaSalle, Glenn Close, Lindsay Lohan, John Goodman and Leonard DiCaprio.

Aaron Neville, a New Orleans native, sang Randy Newman’s soulful “Louisiana 1927.” The chorus goes like this, “They are trying to wash us away. They are trying to wash us away.”

But the surprise of the night came from Kanye West who had an outburst of criticism. He went unscripted. He wanted to connect with the suffering and spoke his mind about the portrayal of Black, African American survivors of the hurricane and floods. The Grammy-winning rapper’s comments were broadcast live to the East Coast. The viewers could have heard everything. He talked to them.

Kanye West expressed his feelings and observations as reported by a CNN reporter about the poor, the African-Americans and the older folks. "I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family, it says they're looting. See a white family, it says they're looking for food." The actor is trying to build some consciousness in the rest of America. He continued his rant, “George Bush doesn't care about black people. America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible." After that, he invited the audience to donate to the cause of the relief.

It appears that Kanye West said what others, the frustrated refugees of the Superdome and the Convention and those who know the history of this country, specially, that of the South could not dare say.

But nobody unleashed the fury of Hurricane Katrina against any specific group of people. Everybody is equal before the devastation and resulted suffering of natural disasters. Natural disasters can’t hide the truth. The whole world came in contact with the poor and disenfranchised among us. The way we, people and government respond to those in crisis will tell others a lot about our values. Social compassion is the name of the game. Leadership will help figure out what needs to be done in the days ahead. Now is the time to start anew. Now is the time to value each and every citizen of this great, rich and last super power. The day has come when the military resources and best soldiers and generals of this country are put to use in a war against hunger, poverty, lack of healthcare and discrimination. The day has finally come when everybody will count, when all citizens, black or white and of any hue or skin pigmentation will not be known by what they have but by what they are, human beings, our brothers and sisters. The day has come when the mightiest military forces are reduced to social work, caring about the poor, the disabled and the sick among us.

The social work component of the US military has long been defined by events such as the Asian tsunami and countless sorties into Latin America etc. People come first. Anything else is secondary.

Kanye West claimed that the government is deliberately dragging its feet by not doing much to jump to the rescue and support of these displaced masses. Reflecting on the looting and the state of chaos that took place in New Orleans, he said that “they have given them permission to come down and shoot us.”

We believe that the USA, this country of ours will not leave one of her own behind on the battlefield of despair, hunger, scarcity amidst abundance, sickness when we have the best medications around. We will believe that an appropriate investment in people will go a long way and benefit human kind.

May the day come fast when love will replace lawlessness, when everybody will rise in unison to sing and rejoice. “For the Lord has made a new day.”

We believe that the South will rise again. This time, it will and must rise with everybody. Historical inequities will be corrected. New Orleans will become a new playing field for the sons of the rich, poor and new immigrants. The new levees will protect all the residents of the Crescent city.

In the end, President Bush’s compassion and leadership will carry the colossal works of reconstruction to fruition. He will whip his administration into shape. FEMA will shape up. If any, the blame will be equally shared by the state of Louisiana, local governments and the rest of the federal systems. Mr. Bush has already said that the early results and response to the victims are unacceptable. This is his place to shine. Shine, Mr. President, to show the despair of the unfortunate among us. Si se puede! You can do it. Who else can we turn to? We'll be with you along the way!

What I Listen To: Reggaeton and Latin Hip Hop's Best New Sounds

2005-09-02T20:44:00.000-07:00

Latin hip hop stations are popping up all over the country. Miami has always been known for its latin-centric TV and radio stations. The influence of the Cuban American experience in the state is very strong. To a large measure, educated Cuban Americans not only support their cuisine, culture, but also their music and jazz.

After Miami, you find other markets where Latin hip hop and Reggaeton influences are strong. New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Las Vegas and Dallas some of the major American cities where you can listen to Latin Hip Hop, Reggaeton, Caribbean music styles largely influenced by the Jamaicans, Haitians and tropical sounds.

Some of the big name artists in Reggaeton are Daddy Yankee, Tego Caderon, Don Omar, Ivy Queen and Wisin y Yandel. We must not forget such Latin hip hop acts as Baby Bash, Frankie J. and NB Ridaz, Capone-E, Mr. Lil One, Mr. Shadow, Mr. Sancho, and a Lighter Shade of Brown.

Just like Bob Marley created a revolution with his rhythmic lyrics and drums that accentuate Jamaican Reggae, Reggaeton artists are bringing their own personal, cultural and ethnic flavors to the new genre.

What it comes down to is that people are appreciating it. They are dancing to it.

If you want to find out what Latin hip hop and Reggaeton sound like, check out this compilation titled, "Viva Hip Hop: Best of Radio's Latin Hip Hop."

Who was the best dressed at the MTV Music Video Awards?

2005-09-01T20:56:00.000-07:00

Ashlee simpson wore an all-black dress. Carmen Electra walked on the white carpet wearing an electric orange Cavalli gown. Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas could not stop showing off her beautiful back in a yellow and green dress. Who could miss Kelly Clarkson of "American Idol?"

Kelly Clarkson wore a vintage gold low-backed gown. Beyonce donned a Dolce silver sequined goddess gown. Nelly Furtado wore a skimpy yellow jersey dress designed by Ella Moss.

See all the dresses here

Paris Hilton was taken by the latin sensation designer Esteban Cortazar's ruby dress. As for Gwen Stefani, besides winning a $50,000 for a charity, she wore a cheetah-print outfit. Now the difference between her dress and that of actress Lindsay Lohan are the straps. Her figure was showing very well in the cheetah-print dress she donned for the evening.

British sensation, Joss Stone, donned a Gap long denim skirt with a peasant top. Hilary Duff wore a beaded flapper gown that was exceptionally right for the occasion. It was in great taste. Among the men, Mr Dapper, Usher had on all Bottega Veneta's powder-blue blazer, white slacks and open yellow shirt. Men are mixing up the colors creating a very good effect. Who else to think about? Jay-Z, Beyonce's man, wore a navy pinstriped suit. Rapper The Game donned a white cotton suit with red bandana tie draped over a tunic.

For the guys, Cigars are the new statements. From Kanye West and Suge Knight had a fat one. Suge was shot in the leg. He is doing well now at a party thrown for Kanye.

An unrelated incident occurred in Las Vegas between rapper The Game and the organizers of MAGIC fashion show. The rapper was there to promote his new sneaker, The Hurricane at the convention. The organizers thought he was involved in the shooting of Suge Knight. Fearing retaliation, police offers swarmed over and his entourage to finally remove them. The Game said it was a very embarassing situation for himself, his management and his own family.

What's the lesson in all of this? Guilty by association. Hey, the Game may have nothing to do with it. That's the way it goes in the rap world.

One of the most visible news personalities on network television who often fills in for Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America had a major scare this week.

Hip Hop Music, R&B, Rap and Rock and Roll Address Social Issues: Fantasia 2005

2005-06-12T15:28:00.000-07:00

To all the Baby Mamas (Single Parents): American Idol Fantasia touched on some social issues with the lyrics of her new album. According to Donna Britt, 1/3 of American children and specially 68 % of Black babies are born to unmarried mothers. Single mother of a three-year-old daughter, Fantasia Barrino released her debut album, Free Yourself with a song that has lots of social resonance. Baby Mama caused many talk radio heads to request interviews. That was good publicity for her album too.

Single mothers are acknowledged. Despite their mistakes, they must receive their dues. Who else to do it other than Fantasia who understands their plight?

Some of the lyrics from the song:(Chorus)

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

I see you get that support check in the mail
Ya open it and your like "What the Hell"
You say "This ain't even half of daycare"
Sayin to yourself "This here ain't fair"
And all my girls who don't get no help
Who gotta do everything by yourself
Remember: What don't kill you can only make you stronger
My baby mama...

I see you get that support check in the mail
You open it and you're like, "What the Hell?"
You say, "This ain't even half of daycare"
Sayin' to yourself, "This shit ain't fair"
And all my girls who don't get no help
Who gotta do everything by yourself
Remember, what don't kill you can only make you stronger
My baby mama

Kit Armstrong, Young Pianist and Composer from California Wows Audiences

2005-06-12T15:17:00.000-07:00

Kit Armstrong, 13-year-old pianist and composer: His pet chickens are named carbon and nitrogen. He is still a kid with a long resume and lots of achievement. Besides his music and composing, he also likes math, sciences and languages. I woke up this morning and heard Liane Hansen interviewing him. In the midst of my busy morning, I had to take sometime off to listen to the whole conversation. Kit was busy practicing with the Baltimore orchestra with which he will play the piano. His "chicken parade" was lovely. He is already a role model. He attended the university of Chapman part time while completing his high school according to International Creative Management or ICM's site. He is currently attending the Royal Academy of Music and Imperial College in London. He has already given performances at Carnegie Hall. He is busy composing. This is definitely a young fellow to watch. If you want to listen to his compositions, go to NPR.org. Congratulations to his parents! Credits: Picture by ICM and NPR.

Drugs, Gang lifestyle, Sex, Guns, Money on Fresno Uncensored Video Irk Local Authorities Who Arrest 9: Since its release by Mainline and Mad Era Films and Production, this DVD never ceased to create controversy in the Central Valley of California. Local media from ABC30, KSEE 24 to the Fresno Bee and print media have been covering the story. The accompanying scenes of gang, money display and guns were meant to introduce a group of artists who hail from the Fresno-Clovis areas. Not much has been said about the quality of the music in the press. Everybody is only talking about the content of the video. Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer is asking people not to buy it. The three stores which have been selling the DVD have seen brisk business. When Bee95 talk radio guys talked about it, the DVD receives lots of free publicity. If anything, people are buying it just to see what's all about. "The DVD is irresponsible," said Chief Dyer who accused it of promoting and glamorizing gangs with these gritty scenes. In the meantime, FTK co-owner, Robert Nagule, is not ready to stop selling on the company's website, www. ftkonline.com. In fact, we checked it out and found FU to be its number one DVD. Fresno gangs are imitating the big guys seen on MTV and other media. Some of the guys got arrested according to the Fresno Bee. The investigation is ongoing. That's the business of making music! Any publicity is good. Even when those who claimed to be acting are jailed. Who stands to benefit from all of this brouhaha? The guys whose faces are on the DVD may not get any penny. How about the new artists whose songs are on the album? ShopallMusicbuzz will continue to follow the development of the situation. We'll keep you posted on it for sure.

When Music and Fashion Go hand in hand

Black Eyed Peas: Don't Phunk with my Heart Lyrics

2005-05-28T00:06:00.000-07:00

No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart
(Yeah)
No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)

Girl, you know you got me, got me
With your pistol shot me, shot me
And I'm here helplessly
In love and nothing can stop me
You can't stop me cause once I start it
Can't return me once you bought it
I'm coming baby, don’t got it (don’t make me wait)
So let’s be about it

No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart

Baby, have some trustin', trustin'
When I come in lustin', lustin'
Cause I bring you that comfort
I ain’t only here cause I want ya body
I want your mind too
Interestin’s what I find you
And I'm interested in the long haul
Come on girl (yee-haw)

(come on)

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)

No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart

Girl, you had me, once you kissed me
My love for you is not iffy
I always want you with me
I'll play Bobby and you’ll play Whitney
If you smoke, I'll smoke too
That’s how much I'm in love with you
Crazy is what crazy do
Crazy in love, I'm a crazy fool

No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart

Why are you so insecure
When you got passion and love her
You always claimin’ I'm a cheater
Think I'd up and go leave ya
For another señorita
You forgot that I need ya
You must’ve caught amnesia
That’s why you don’t believe

(uh, yeah, check it out)

Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
You know you got me by a string, baby
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
You know you got me by a string, baby

Baby girl, you make me feel
You know you make me feel so real
I love you more than sex appeal
(Cause you’re)
That-tha, that tha, that-tha, that girl [5x]

[overlapping]
No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart [2x]
That-tha, that tha, that-tha, that girl [2x]

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby) [4x]

Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
Cause you know you got me by a string, baby
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby

Hot Young Groups Whose Music I am Listening To

2005-05-27T21:43:00.000-07:00

Every year, I make a list of groups whose music I want to listen to during the Summer months. The following is the list of interesting new bands whose music I want to listen to this year. The list of books I want to read will come out later.

Enjoy this combination and selection. The heart of the matter is that these groups make their music available for sampling. It's better to buy music this way. If you want me to check your band's music out, drop a line or send me a cd. This way, we can write something about your artistic talent. Valley bred, Valley promoted!

The book and the movie Came out. When Is Amber Frye-Scott Peterson Musical Coming Out?

2005-05-27T21:40:00.000-07:00

Amber Frey's Book and Movie: Witness for the Prosecution of Scott Peterson.

His life has changed for ever. He is a convicted felon on death row. He is sitting in jail watching the fascination of the public with his story. He is a killer. He killed his own wife and son, Connor. Her life has changed for ever too. Hers is the story of the second woman who did not know she was dealing with a killer of the first degree. A sweet talker. A guy who knows all the right moves until that fatal day which he sought to hide.

The lives of the Laci Peterson's parents, friends and Modesto residents and the rest of the country have changed for ever too. All it took was one incident. one capital crime. one person with greed and too much time on his hands to devise such a plan. Amber Frey's book and movie are the stories of small towns, America. They are the stories of a young woman's encounter with the beast in the Central Valley of California.

Amber Frey co-wrote the book on the prosecution of her former lover, Scott Peterson. CBS won the bids and bought the book for a tv movie. It's scheduled for tonight. It will go against the season finale of two very popular tv shows: Fox's American Idol and ABC's Lost. Whether viewers watch the movie or not, they will remain captivated by the story of an average single mother who was trying to raise her daughter in Fresno. Fresno, a community she calls home for ever, was soon catapulted into the spotlight.

For sure, that double-homicide investigation was not like anything Fresno has seen before. There were some close similarities. When you have romance, youth, greed and money, all the elements for strong international appeal were reunited in this case. The OJ Simpson trial came to mind as a precedent. From a complete uknown, Amber Frey became the trial's key witness. Her popularity was soon increasing. Her book became a bestseller on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and New York Times.

The Central Valley of California has its own famous son. It has Buck Owens. At Buck Owens's Crystal Palace, you can run into the guy, who long ago, carried the flames of the Valley to the rest of the United States and the world.

At his Crystal Palace, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood were among the thousands of fans celebrating and honoring country music stars. There were 10 large bronze statues on display. The occasion was the "Legends in Bronze" event which most country music stars have come to appreciate.

On this special occasion, Garth Brooks did something that touched the heart of all the participants. He touched Trisha Yearwood's heart particularly. He got down on one knee in front of everybody to propose to fellow country music star, Miss Trisha.

The crowd went wild for a few good minutes. Once for all, Bakersfield, in the Central Valley of California, has its night in the star spotlight.
