According to an interview in Redbook, expect HawthoRNe start Jada Pinkett-Smith and husband Will to get jiggy in the guest bedroom if you ever have them over.

"Be sneaky... your girlfriend's house at a party. The bathroom. A bedroom," Pinkett-Smith told the magazine.

"Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex. Does he have access to his office? Have a fantasy date. Be his secretary! Pull over on the side of the road... Just switch it up."

Yeah, we'll just come out and say it.  TMI Jada.  TMI!

Being that we have always opposed the NBA age restriction, there's a feeling that it'd be hypocritical to not support Rutgers women's basketball player Epiphany Prince in her decision to leave school after her junior year to turn pro in Europe before, in theory, heading to the WNBA.

Of course, who's to say there'll be a WNBA in a year, but we still stand by her decision.  You can always go back to school.

Kudos to Michelle Obama for pushing music education by inviting 150 students to the White House for a jazz clinic.

Yeah, pretty much just looking for an excuse to post an Eric Dolphy clip.

BUY

Tokin Black Guy

Rampant internet speculation has TBG as nothing more than a Kanye West alter-ego, but still, the track and this new video are hot.

SELL

Shaquille O'Neal

While we never heard Kobe's unreleased 2000 attempt at rapping, the Big Aristotle has given Bryant some ideas, via Twitter, should he give hip-hop another shot.

"Congratualtions kobe, u deserve it. You played great . Enjoy it my man enjoy it. And I know what yur sayin rt now "Shaq how my ass taste "

Maybe he can cover Lil Wayne?

In the twilight of his career and only a year removed from his lyrical diss, we're fairly sure Shaq's tweet is full of shit.

Congrats Kobe.  You're still gonna get booed in Philly.

Will Smith seems to have Eddie and Denzel in his rearview mirror as the two former box office titans are not graying gracefully.

Of course, their movies didn't look very interesting either... so there's that, too.

A seemingly long week ends with the Market on an upswing.

WINNERS

Michael Thomas (MKT) 2.14 +2.14 --

Michael Thomas' debut novel, Man Gone Down, won him the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

LOSERS

New York Black Democrats (NYBD) 4.12 -2.59 -38.6%

The New York Times is attributing the chaos in the state legislature to a growing rift between Latino and black Democrats, with the Latino Dems bolting to a Republican led coalition.  Add that to the woes of wildly unpopular Gov. David Patterson and things haven't been looking so good for this group.

Jeremiah Wright's out-and-out anti-semitism is the kind of thing that has to have President Obama shaking his head.

"Asked if he had spoken to the president, Wright said: "Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office.."

Has he lost his DAMN mind?!
