Bow Wow Leaves Cash Money Records

Bow Wow is the latest rapper to cut contractual ties with Cash Money Records. Shad recently announced the split via his Facebook account. The rapper have been signed to the storied Southern rap imprint since 2009 but has yet to drop an album even though he has been frequently plugging his upcoming LP Underrated for years. 

According to Bow, the split was amicable. Clearly lack of support from the label to put out music is a major factor in Bow wanting to leave. This is the same gripe that has been brought up by CMR employees Lil Twist, Tyga and cash cow Lil Wayne in the recent past. This is the third Cash Money artist to jump ship in less than a year. Last July, Busta Rhymes left the label after spending nearly three unproductive years with Baby and Slim. In October, British R&B singer Jay Sean parted ways with CMR after six years with the New Orleans powerhouse, dropping three albums while with the label.

Mark Zuckerberg Donating $100 Million to Newark Schools

Hey yall, hope everything is good with you!

According to OMG! Yahoo, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg will be donating $100 million to schools in Newark, NJ on the same day that The Social Network comes out. The movie, which is supposed to be about the establishment of Faceboook, will premiere tomorrow at the New York Film Festival. It will be released in theaters on MY BIRTHDAY-OCTOBER 1ST!!! Gonna be 2-0!!! :) Haha.

Anywho, Mark is going to give his donation along with Newark Mayor Cory Booker and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Friday's showing of Oprah. This contribution, coming out of his $2 billion fortune, is going to be Mark's first gift to start a foundation for education.

Hmmm. Theories are already coming out about this. This may just be Zuckerberg's way of dealing with any negative publicity that comes from The Social Network, which reportedly doesn't show him in the best light. Point of the matter is however, that his money will help to the Newark schools and the other institutions he decides to donate to. Education is key, and even if it is a PR stunt, kids will be able to have more at their schools. That's the most important thing.

Social Networking Obsession????

Ok, not a post completely about celebrities. Concerns them somewhat but they're not the main focus. Social networking is taking over this world yall! I mean, you got Facebook, MySpace (when the last time you actually checked yours? LOL), Twitter, Skype, Blogger, and all these other new sites that allow people to connect with family, friends, co-workers, etc. It's cool. I appreciate being able to talk to family and friends while I'm away from home. However, reading this one article made me wonder if we are becoming a little too obsessed with it all.
