Questions for the Zeitgeist- August 12, 2006

1- Jay-Z and Beyonce aside, isn't the summer's hottest collabo REALLY Cham and Alicia Keys on "Ghetto Story Part 2"?


2- Naomi, who has been working like a rant-mule while still walking top shows at 36 years old- an absolute rarity in the modeling world- hasn't had a Vogue cover since August 2002. Linda Evangelista basically retires from modeling and becomes a woman of leisure concentrating on AIDS charities. So how did a PREGNANT Linda end up on August's Vogue (the first "model" on the cover in over a year), while Naomi hasn't commanded a real American cover in years? hmmm.....








3- Speaking of which...With Naomi still working nonstop at 36, Christy Turlington lured back into the modeling world at 37 courtesy of a Donatella Versace campaign (as well as returning to be the face of Maybelline once again after doing it TEN YEARS AGO!) and Linda shooting for Stefano Pilati at YSL (in addition to being ensconsed on the cover of the fashion bible at age 41), could the supermodel troika affectionately referred to in the 90's as "the trinity" really be making a comeback?

4- Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, England. Indonesia. Sierra Leone. Has the world gone fuckin' CRAZY?



5- Where is the "Pamela Anderson of video ho's", the first video vixen to become a household name (thanks to Jay-Z's 'Big Pimpin', Ja Rule's 'Holla Holla' and DMX's 'What Yall Really Want' videos)- "murda mami" Gloria Velez?

6- Jerry Rice, this is YOUR FAULT!!! Who's ready to see 3-time Super Bowl champ and NFL Rushing leader Emmitt Smith compete on the new season of "Dancing With the Stars"?

7- How, exactly, is one supposed to dance to Christina Aguilera's whirling-derbish of a new single, "No Other Man"?

8- While not necessarily the best singer,



hasn't Ciara blossomed into a beautiful young woman?

9- For those that watch Keyshia Cole's BET reality show "Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is": how REAL is Keyshia's sister, Neferteri?

10- Who told Busta Rhymes that he could steal 50 cents' body? While we're on Busta, how slick was it to shoot the video for his latest single, "In the Ghetto" (which features a Rick James sample from his song "Ghetto Life"), and include Rick James' daughter Ty? Who even knew Rick James HAD a daughter?







11- A litle morbid but...since things ALWAYS happen in threes...
First Ariel Sharon's health declines forcing him into the hospital back in January(and currently having been diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs), and most recently Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's deteriorating health that no one will confirm or deny. Who will be the THIRD world leader to fall deathly ill? Could it be...Osama Bin Laden?

12- Cable network Bravo has been VERY gay-friendly in their programming, featuring among their lineup "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy", "Boy Meets Boy" (and some would say "Project Runway" and Kathy Griffin's "My Life on the D-List"!!). With a gay version of "The View" (being produced by Joan Rivers, of all people!) in the works, is Bravo trying to give the Logo channel a run for their money?


13- Given that her last album "Concrete Rose" bombed on the charts and her movie "John Tucker Must Die" followed a similar fate, what is Ashanti going to do NOW?

14- Now that he has reportedly knocked her up a SECOND time, will Puffy FINALLY propose to his stunningly beautiful model/girlfriend/Jennifer Lopez stand-in Kim Porter?

15- And now, our FLASHBACK...Doesn't pioneering female rap duo Finesse and Synquis' video for "Soul Sister" look a LOT like Salt n Pepa's "Push It" video?

LOL @ Christina's 'whirling dervish' song.

But fuck Busta's homophobe ass and his video and the air he breaths.

It needed to be said.
