YEAR END REVIEW 2009 FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT...AND MORE

On that frigid January morning, an estimated 1.8 million people traveled to the nation’s capital to witness the inauguration of America’s first Black president. President Obama captured the sentiment of the moment, saying

“This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed…why a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath,”

President Obama also went on to win the Nobel Peace prize, let also not forget Michael Steele Became the First Republican Chairman.

The rumor mill is spinning about Bey dropping another album in 2010  The first is “Black Culture,” a previously recorded song that may or may not have originally had the Michael Jackson sample from “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” originally produced by Quincy Jones, before his untimely death.

Hot In Here... Nelly Offers $10,000 For Information On Burglary

Nelly is fighting back the rapper is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the thug who tried to have a Merry Xmas on his dime. The thieve broke into his suburban St. Louis home earlier this month while he was in Atlanta promoting and partying.

Someone forced his way through a locked window at Nelly's Wildwood home in the early hours of Dec. 11 and got away with a duffel bag full of items that included electronics and other goods.

Real Housewives Of Atlanta...Real Paychecks

 

This is not a bad gig....as hard up as some of the ladies appear to be—what with NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak of The Real Housewives of Atlanta apparently demanding more cash for electric bills, clothes and such—overall, weep not. For the Real Housewives of Anywhere. Will leave you wanting to apply??

 

Check out the numbers: These numbers are courtesy of  NYC Reality School and yes there is a reality school for suckers to pay to land a spot on these scripted shows. Moving on. "My understanding is that some per diems are still pretty lousy," sources say. "We're talking $100 to $150 a day for some shows," particularly competition-style reality shows. "That's pretty standard with some shows, along with room and board," he says.

" As for something like The Real Housewives, one report indicates that the New York cast earns about $30,000 an episode, and that general ballpark—mid five figures—was backed up by some casting people.

Either way, I'm told, the pay is more than enough to handle bills from utility companies.
