Snoop Dogg has a problem with Oprah. He no longer likes Oprah because of the way that they used him as a major subject on her show last year, in which she called to light some of the misogynistic lyrics that hip-hop songs propagate. The problem he has with her is that he wasn’t invited on the show to defend himself against the allegations. He said he was a fan of Oprah’s and liked her, but not anymore.

Via Nymag:

“I don’t like her no more. I really was offended, because I kind of like her. Liked her. I’m very articulate, very intellectual. She didn’t even get a chance to even know me.” She might have learned that the rap star is cleaning up his act: His new album, he told reporters, “is for the women.” He said he wanted to “give the ladies something, because I’ve been so mean and so rude.” But Snoop doesn’t really mind being criticized. “My mama always told me, ‘Any time they’re saying something bad about you, you’re doing the right thing, baby,’ ” he said. “If they talked about Jesus, it’s all right for them to talk about Snoop Dogg.”

Mediaoutrage- We definitely feel that Oprah should have had more rappers on to defend themselves and really have an even forum. Then again we feel Oprah has really completely snubbed hip-hop and the good that it has produced, such as successful entrepreneurs and business men like Jay-Z, Master-P, Damon Dash, Jermaine Durpri, and Diddy (he was only on her show because he ran the marathon). These young men have created thousands of jobs with clothing lines, record labels, restaurants, clubs, and stores. Hip-Hop is an integral force in just about every industry so it’s ashame that it is completely ignored by Oprah even if she does disagree with some of their lyrics about women. At the end of the day if Jay-Z, Snoop, and other rappers have referred to women as b*tches and hoes, we’re sure that you have women out here that don’t respect themselves at all and ones that do. But when Oprah has given a platform to members of the KKK, and convicted child molesters, then it’s a terrible insult to some of the aforementioned names to shut them out.

Janet Jackson called into Ms. Jones and had a lot to say about the making of her new album that is currently number 1, Beyonce, the possibility of a Jackson 5 tour, Michael, Alicia Keys, and the rumors that she had a secret baby with Debarge way back in the day. Listen Here. 

Janel Bennett who is the mother of Mario Winans son, Jordan, is claiming that Mario has not paid her child support and as a result she was evicted from her home in Miami and now homeless living with friends on the South Side of Chicago working as a cocktail waitress.

Via Pagesix:

Janel Bennett, who was in an eight-year relationship with Winans before she had her son, Jordan, claims she was evicted from her home in Miami because Winans won’t pay child support. She told us she is “homeless and living with friends on the South Side of Chicago,” where she works as a cocktail waitress. In 2005, the Miami Herald reported, “A DNA test shows a ’99.99 percent probability’ that Winans is the biological parent.” Documents filed in a Miami-Dade, Fla., court last Jan. 2 stated, “Mario Winans is obligated to pay Janel Bennett $4,500 per month due on the first of each month as child support.” Bennett told us, “He hasn’t paid me. I just wanted support, and I was on disability and Medicaid and welfare just to have the baby.” She said that after telling Winans she was pregnant, he disappeared from her life. Friends of Winans confirmed to Page Six that his current girlfriend, Joy — the mother of his toddler daughter, Sklyar — is known publicly as his “wife.” Bennett said, “Joy lives in a 16-bedroom mansion and her daughter wears mink coats and Seven jeans, and my son doesn’t have boots to wear in the winter.”

Mediaoutrage- So at $4,500 a month that’s $54,000 a year from child support. Interesting. SMH at Pagesix posting a picture of Baby instead of Mario Winans lmao!

Cassidy called into Ms. Jones to explain to the world that he did not set up Papoose. He said that they all happened to be booked at the same hotel in NC and that Pap’s room was like two doors from his, but that he didn’t know Pap like that so he invited him to his room to rap and bug out before going to the show. He says he’s not at all a shiesty person and would never set someone up. He says he wasn’t even aware of the fact that Joe had a problem with Papoose and if he was he would have tried to defuse the situation before it escalated because of the near death experiences he’s been in with the shoot out that got him jail time and the car accident. Listen for yourself. We actually believe Cass.

Usher is the latest music artist (Jay-Z, Nelly,) to become part of an NBA Franchise. Usher has purchased part ownership of the Cleveland Cavaliers which is home to one of the NBA’s brightest stars, Lebron James, who ironically has built a solid friendship with minority Nets owner Jay-Z. Usher is part of the ownership group that purchased the Cavs for $375 million. Here’s what Usher had to say about his move into sports….

“I am excited about becoming part of this ownership group and this team. I will be actively involved with the Cavaliers on many levels, including the game experience and our role in the community. I plan to spend a lot of time with the Cavaliers and look for Cleveland to be my second home town.”

Usher’s song ‘Love In The Club’ went from #51 to #1 on the Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart. His album Here I Stand will be released in June.

Lisa Gershowitz-Flynn, 41, a lawyer suffered from aggressive form of cancer called Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. Doctors told her she has four to six weeks to find a life-saving donor match and upon hearing that Rihanna personally got involved to help raise awareness and find Flynn a donor match. Thankfully a match has been found for Flynn and she will receive the marrow that she needs to live.

Rihanna’s words about Flynn….

“When I heard about Lisa [Gershowitz Flynn]‘s plight, my heart broke,” Rihanna tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I said, ‘I need to get the word out about Lisa right away.’ ”

Flynn’s gratitude….

“For Rihanna to even be thinking about helping others and putting herself out there when she is so busy with her career is tremendous,”

Flynn’s words to the thousands of donors… 

“My life will be saved because of you, my family and friends (old and new),” Flynn writes. “My children (Michael, 5, and Alexandra, 3) will have their mother, my husband will have his wife, and my parents will have their daughter.”

“The English language does not have words that are adequate to thank someone for working to save your life,” she says. “Please continue to spread the word about how important it is to fill the bone marrow registry with donors to save others.”

Mediaoutrage- That’s what’s up Rihanna. Way to use your celebrity status to spread the word and do good. That’s dope.

Eva Longoria and longtime friend Mario Lopez got together two days ago to celebrate the opening of her new restaurant Beso in LA. Mario stepped way out of pocket when he gave Tony Parker’s wife a Cartier necklace. This friendship is a little suspect if you ask us. Yes men and women can definitely be friends without something popping off but a man giving another man’s wife an expensive Cartier necklace??? Well we guess that is way better than a ‘pearl’ necklace…. But if we were Tony we would watch his ass.

We here at Mediaoutrage enjoy entertaining you day in and day out while feeding you the latest in celebrity gossip and news, but we promised ourselves that we would also attempt to inform and educate. Nothing wrong with having a great time and laughing but sometimes it’s just important to highlight the ignorance.

We appreciate and read all of the comments left on this site every day, so there is nothing that gets by us, trust that. We noticed a few comments left under a Beyonce and Jay-Z article (read the comments under) and we decided to express some of our honest thoughts, but not just because of the comments, but because we hear this ignorant term used every day.

We want to say in reference to the texture of African American hair that there is no such thing as ‘nappy’. We googled the word ‘nappy‘ and a lot of pictures popped up. We went to webster and looked up the definition of ‘nappy‘ and this is what they had to say: 1. Said especially of the hair of blacks and used derogatorily or contemptuously.

Black people’s hair is naturally curly and grows in coils from the roots. That is why we are able to grow afros and produce that spring effect. The word ‘nappy’ was assigned during the slave era as a badge of degradation, just like the word ‘nigger’, ‘coon’, and countless other demeaning monikers. To refer to your hair or your brother or sister’s hair as nappy insinuates that you are ashamed of who you are and what you were born with. Saying something in a jokingly manner but not believing it is totally different then saying something and believing it. We are saying that to say that there are a lot of black people that use this ignorant terminology in everyday conversation and really feel this way then that is a problem. Thinking that having straight hair is better than what you were born with, puts you on a lower level than those with straight hair right??? We understand why black women straighten their hair and that’s cool because that is their choice to rock whatever style they like. But when we hear people say ‘he has that good hair’ because he’s black and happens to have straight and wavy hair it speaks ignorance extremely loud. But if his hair is tightly curled which a lot of us would describe as ‘peasy’ or ‘nappy’ then he has bad hair??? These are the effects of being enslaved for hundreds of years and taught that you were 3/5ths of a human being, property, dumb, animals, ‘niggers’, slaves, and many more degrading things. So we in turn carry this slave (less than) mentality on and teach it to our children by using these terrible descriptions of our natural features. It’s a bad thing in our society to be too ‘dark’ (ignorance). Being ‘too’ dark is just possessing an abundance of melanin that is actually a blessing that has never been taught on (we wonder why?). Why hasn’t Oprah done a teaching on the benefits of melanin on one of her 100,000 shows with Dr. OZ on the human body and health? Don’t want to give blacks any ammunition to combat ignorance and promote self esteem (Not directed at Oprah but in general).

Now once again we love to have a great time and on this site you will read language that seems ignorant, disrespectful, offensive, and every other non positive meaning that you can think of lol lol because this is entertainment and no we are not on some black power trip either but just wanted to post something from the heart that would be informative and because we felt like it.
