Kevin Federline Partying All Night

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Kevin FederlineKevin Federline could be seen partying the night away last night at Club Mansion in South Beach, Florida. While it was obvious he was having a good time, Federline spent most of the night talking about his kids and chugging a bottle of water. People sent bottle after bottle of champagne to K-Fed, but he refused and instead used the bottles to spray down the crowd on the dance floor. Federline and his posse partied until 4 a.m, but didn’t need alcohol to have a good time. Maybe ex-wife Britney Spears should take lessons from the two-time father of the year. Even though Britney was awarded overnight visitation earlier this week with Sean Preston and Jayden James, it is clear she still has a lot to learn.

We applaud K-Fed for being a great example to his children. Even though he is not perfect, we think a lot of other celebs could learn a thing or two from him.

BET Losing Sponsors Over Rap Music

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


The reason we all enjoy watching BET may be the very reason sponsors are pulling their ads. Industry Ears and CNN, Proctor and Gamble, Pepsi, and General Motors are yanking their ads from BET shows Rap City and 106 and Park. The companies say that the violence and profanity that children are subjected to on these shows is not something they want their company partnered with. They claim to have done a study and found that children are exposed to violence, and profanity every 38 seconds. We watch BET and to be honest we don’t see that much violence, or hear that much language. We aren’t professionals or anything, but this study could be a little over-rated. What about cartoons? We see more violence in cartoons then we do on BET.

Black Entertainment TelevisionDebra Lee, BET chairman and CEO, told CNN, “the network pays attention to the content it airs and edits videos.” Paul Porter of media watchdog said in an interview, ?It?s geared for kids but the content is for adults, and that?s what the study shows.? Porter also goes on to add in the interview ?the standard excuse is about parents, but there?s supposed to be corporate responsibility too.? We here at randomgossip.com kinda agree, but not really. The main responsibility belongs to parents. Children watch these things if they are allowed to. If children are seeing things on TV that are not for their viewing, it is because parents are not monitoring them.

We can understand that an company might not agree with what a network might air, but saying that a study shows children are subjected to violence and profanity every 38 seconds is crazy. We personally watch BET and don’t see violence every 38 seconds. We do give great advice though… if it bothers you, change the dang channel!!

Paying For Death Row

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Death Row Suge KnightLegendary Death Row Records has been auctioned to Susan Berg for a cool $24 million. This came after Suge Knight was forced to file for bankruptcy in 2005 after a lawsuit required him to pay former partner Lydia Harris $107 million in profits owed. Berg now controls all recordings from Death Row including artists like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and the late great Tupac Shakur. She also acquired 20 unreleased Tupac songs. Lucky!!

Dr. Dre and Afeni Shakur were in fights for the rights of songs by Dre and Tupac, but have yet to comment on the way things will go with new owner Berg. Death Row Records has been home to some of hip hop’s greatest albums like Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle. Great music came from Death Row and hopefully with Suge out of the way it can get back to where it was.
