Diddy to provide free transport on New Year’s Eve
LONDON - Music mogul Puff Diddy is helping revellers ring in the New Year safely by providing free transportation services in New York and Las Vegas.
The rapper is handing out thousands of subway passes and vouchers redeemable for taxi rides in the Big Apple and Sin City as part of his Safe Rides program, which he launched last year, reports contactmusic.com.
“New York stands as the world’s icon for a New Year’s Eve celebration and Las Vegas is the biggest party destination in the country. By bringing this program to both of these great cities we will continue to show the rest of the country that a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn’t end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely,” he said.
The coupons will be distributed on New Year’s Eve.
Teddy Riley Speaks on Charges of Child Abuse
Days after being accused of assaulting his teenage daughter producer Teddy Riley is speaking out against the charges that have been levied against him. In a prepared statement to TMZ Riley said “I love my daughters, but I will not allow my children to disrespect me in my home. Contrary to what I have been accused of, I would never beat my children. Perhaps, I should have been a stronger disciplinarian as they were growing up.
I worked very hard so that my children would want for nothing. In hindsight, I see that it was a mistake to give them everything they wanted so that they could have the childhood I never had. Unfortunately, they have taken me, and the privileged life I have given them, completely for granted.”

Flavor Flav + Autotunes = " I’ll Never Let You Go"
Love Flav, but Maybe this what Jay-Z had in mind when he made "D.O.A. (Death to Autotunes)
Ke$ha's “Tik Tok” Breaking Records
Really? newcomer Ke$ha song “Tik Tok” sold 440,000 downloads over the Christmas holiday setting a new record on the Billboard charts for the “Most Ever Digital Single Sales for a Female Artist.” The hit has sold a610,000 downloads since its iTunes debut earlier this month).
"Tik Tok" is a nice little ditty, but to paraphrse Charles Barkely..Mariah Carey is rokking over in her grave....Whitney Houston is rolling over in her grave...Fergie, Britney Spears, well you get the idea.
Decade of the Aughts: Top 30 TV Shows (Plus one) (2000-2009)
1. The Wire
(Gritty, real, authentic, everything you want in a TV drama was here in this HBO classic. Unfortunately Emmy voters fawned over the very well written, but very unrealistic portrayal of a mob boss talking to a shrink than the real life social/economic, political, media and educational implications of the drug trade in Baltimore.)
2. Chapelle Show (This is the show that Richard Pryor wanted to do.... Dave where are you?)
3. 24 (No show kills off more characters, yet keeps you on the edge of your seat of your set every season than “24”.But could the show continue without Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland)?
(Much like the “The Wire”, “Girlfriends, never got their due from the Emmy voters. Sure, they might have started off as a sexy African American version of “Sex in The City”, but with each, the show and its cast (Persia White, Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Jill Marie Jones, Reggie Hayes) evolved into one of the most underrated programs of the decade (Psst..if someone knows Jill Marie Jones, tell her to Twitter me.))
5. Lost (Please don't have a St. Elsewhere/Seinfeld/Sopranos ending...Please!)
6. Soul Food
(Before Showtime was the home for “Dexter” and “Weeds”, the struggling cable outlet was home for fantastic niche dramas like “The L Word”, “Resurrection Blvd”, “Queer as Folk” and “Soul Food,” which is arguably one of the best family dramas of all time. Inspired by the film, “Soul Food” proved that dramas featuring African-Americans could work. Its a shame that Showtime has dropped their focus on minorities dramas, because the audience is still there... unfortunately the execs are not listening.)7. True Blood (Sex , vampires ,crazy plot lines and a romance between Bill and Sookie, what more do you need?)
9. The Sopranos (Great show, but show wasn't the same after Big Pussy was killed off).
10. Scrubs
(“Scrubs” is a lot like the show “Wings” back in the 1980's. Never appreciated, yet it lasted for years favorite. While critics and the Emmy voters fawn over ratings challenged sitcom “30 Rock”, the bro-mance between Turk and JD continues to thrive.)
(When “The CW” decided to focus their programming on teenage girls (Where are you “Beautiful Life”?) , they canceled one of the funniest shows on TV. Chris Rock's take on his growing up in Brooklyn in the 1980's was laugh out loud funny and gave viewers fond family memories of a break dancing era gone bye.)
12.Buffy/Angel (Holdovers from the 1990's, today' s vampire phenomenon started with these classic shows).
14. PTI
(a sports show on the list? Why not! The fast paced program on ESPN is sure delight for sports fans who want their info quick with a lot of humor. Journalists turned TV hosts Tony Kornhieser and Michael Wilbon are this decades' Oscar & Felix (The Odd Couple)...only with a lot less hair.
15. American Idol (The reality TV boom started here.)
16. Grey's Anatomy (Chandra Wilson (Bailey) deserves an Emmy.)
17. Arrested Development (Underrated cast, underrated show.)
18. Glee
(Nerds, band geeks, and show tune freaks unite! From the team that brought you Nip/Tuck, Glee is a perfect melding of melodrama, Hip Hop and Babara Streisand. Who knew a mash-up of Usher's “Confessions” and Bon Jovi's “It's My Life” would be so cool?)
19. The Simpsons (Consistently funny since the 1980's.)
20. Entourage (It's a shame that Turtle lost Jamie Lynn Sigler on the show AND in real life..sucks for you bruh.)
22. Rescue Me (From the ashes of Denis Leary's failed cop dramedy “The Job” on ABC came one of the best shows on TV. Hey Emmy voters its time to give Callie Thorne (Sheila) an award!)
24. Boston Legal (The cast changed every year, but outside of the bro-mance of Sean & Christan on "Nip/Tuck" and Turk & JD on "Scrubs", who was better than Denny Crain and Alan Shore.)
25. Friends (The show's finale in 2004 was watched by 52.2 million...those days are long gone.)
26. Mad TV (This laugh out loud show is now off the air, yet “Saturday Live Night” is still on the air....how is this possible? ??
27. Family Guy (Best story of the decade. Canceled in 2001. Found new life on cable and DVD's. Revived in 2004 and is now of the best shows on TV...but the jury is still out on the “Cleveland Show”.)
28. Tavis Smiley /Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson(The aughts brought a a slew of talking heads (hello Anderson Cooper and Keith Olberman), including Smiley who brought a needed ethnic voice to the talk circuit and Ferguson whose comedic timing and lewd advances makes late night a guilty pleasure.)
29. Kevin Hill
(Before Taye Diggs finally found a home on “Private Practice” and Christina Hendricks, sauntered her sexy bod to “Mad Men”, this lost law show on the WB, had a lot of heart and great looking clothes. Hey Taye, let me use your stylist!)
30. Passions/Port Charles
31. Flavor of Love (Sure Flav's show was trashy, but was it any worse than “The Bachelor”?)
