A luge slider from Georgia was killed Friday when he crashed during an Olympic training session hours before the opening ceremony of the Winter Games in Vancouver.
The luge track at the Whistler Sliding Center where Friday’s crash occurred is about 4,500 feet long (1,371 meters). A track speed record was recorded February 21, 2009, when a single men’s luge athlete topped 95 mph.
This is sad.. our prayers go out to his family..
PLAYBOY: If you didn’t know you, would you think you’re a douche bag?
MAYER: It depends on what I picked up. My two biggest hits are “Your Body Is a Wonderland” and “Daughters.” If you think those songs are pandering, then you’ll think I’m a douche bag. It’s like I come on very strong. I am a very…I’m just very. V-E-R-Y. And if you can’t handle very, then I’m a douche bag. But I think the world needs a little very. That’s why black people love me.
PLAYBOY: Because you’re very?
MAYER: Someone asked me the other day, “What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?” And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a ni**er pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, “I can’t really have a hood pass. I’ve never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, ‘We’re full.’”
PLAYBOY: It is true; a lot of rappers love you. You recorded with Common and Kanye West, played live with Jay-Z.
MAYER: What is being black? It’s making the most of your life, not taking a single moment for granted. Taking something that’s seen as a struggle and making it work for you, or you’ll die inside. Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude’s.
PLAYBOY: Do black women throw themselves at you?
MAYER: I don’t think I open myself to it. My d*ck is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a f*ckin’ David Duke c*ck. I’m going to start dating separately from my d*ck.
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin was the key note speaker at Tea Party Convention over the weekend. The GOP’s candidate for Vice President who called the President a “charismatic guy with a teleprompter” was caught with the talking points from her speech written on her hand.
Haha, She was paid 100,000 for her speech / appearance.. Peep the video after the jump to see her looking down at her hand for guidance.
Damn SON! Waka Talks about getting robbed in Atlanta. I like this dude, he keeps it real on the situation that he went through. Glad you made it patna! Take a look at the video to see what went down!
How the heck do you lose 100 to 0? One shot.. draw a foul.. shoot a freethrow.. nothing? That’s embarrassing..
This is a very interesting testimony.. maybe it’s just me, because I like hearing about court cases, but T.I. remains his swag while on the stand.. Check out this full 28 minute testimony by Clifford Harris a.k.a T.I.
It’s a crazy world..
Hahaha, damnn.. this is funny.. George Bush walks past world leaders and not one person shakes his hand.. everyone else is shaking hands and smiling at each other.. and no one even acknowledges him.. this is very sad indeed..
Damn.. this is some American Idol Footage of the Paula Abdul Stalker that Committed suicide outside of Paula Abdul’s house.. Simon was pretty hard on her.. This is sad..
Haha, how do you go from talking about Barack Obama to 50 Cent in the same interview? Hhaha.. That’s pretty weird.. but either way.. Donald Trump says that 50 Cen’ts show is a copy of the Apprentice, and that it will fail..but damn.. You know you’ve made it when you’re placed in the same conversation as Barack Obama.. and it’s coming from Donald Trump.. I need to go play lotto or someting..
Something is definitely going on with Kanye West.. I think he’s beginning to get depressed, and he’s lashing out at everyone.. I understand that the Paparazzi are annoying, but this dude is beginning to take out his angers and frustrations on them.. Keep your eye on Kanye West ya’ll.. I got a feeling that something is going to happen with him.. If he continues to go down this road of unhappiness and angry aggression, then he’ll fall apart internally..but… then again, I think every artist needs these dark and confusing times to grow..so who knows..
LOS ANGELES — Police say they have arrested Kanye West at Los Angeles International Airport on suspicion of vandalism after an altercation with a photographer.
An airport spokesman says police also arrested West’s bodyguard shortly before 8 a.m. on Thursday.
Airport spokesman Marshall Lowe says early reports are that West got into an altercation with a commercial photographer and a camera valued at more than $10,000 was broken. The incident happened before West and his bodyguard, who was not identified, went into a security checkpoint at the airport.
Lowe says police are continuing to interview witnesses and West may be booked later this morning
Damn.. Apparently, Dame Dash is losing money, and losing it fast.. Personally, I think that Jay-Z did Dame Dash wrong… no matter what the backend happenings were.. You started everything together, and as boys, you should end it together.. I will never say I feel bad for Dame Dash, because he’s seen more money than I ever will, but I definitely think he got the short end of the stick on this one.. Hopefully, he makes it back up to the top..
“A bank wants his Tribeca condos, the city is seizing his SUV and his lawyer dropped him for not paying his legal bills. The co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear - who in 2005 sold his share in the clothing empire to Jay-Z for $20 million - is under assault in Manhattan Supreme Court from lawyers, lenders and landlords fed up with not getting paid. The fall has been a dizzying one for Dash, who has gone from owning Keds, a vodka company and 1,300 pairs of shoes to dodging bills and accusing a former accountant of ripping him off for millions of dollars. “I’ve worked with musicians, artists and entertainers that in the eyes of the media are very wealthy,” said lawyer Jason Gabbard, who represented a fashion firm that settled a suit against Dash and his wife over $148,505 in unpaid fees. “But to borrow a phrase from my Kentucky homeland, they haven’t got a pot to p— in - they’re broke.” A Manhattan judge this week ordered the city to seize Dash’s Chevrolet Tahoe, since he wasn’t making the $714.99 monthly payment on the leased SUV.”
What’s going on with the world? You don’t like Obama so you vandalize 40 Cars with Racism and Death threats? It’s not going to stop him from being our President.. So much ignorant hate.. Gets old.. It’s 2008..
Wow, these dudes are stupid… Obama got these dudes scramblin’ not knowing what to do..
