Scott Baio Gets ‘Twitter Death Threats’ Over ‘Michelle Obama’ Tweet Picture
Posted by: Q-Wreck on Jan, 22 2010 (Hip-Hop News)
Actor and director Scott Baio, 48, most known for his role in the movie ‘Charles in Charge’ and ‘Happy Days’ is being attacked and called a racist after posting a not so flattering picture of the First Lady, Michelle Obama, with a sarcastic photo caption to the place of where he’s questioning President Barack Obama about waking up to his wife every morning.
Since sending out the picture on his Twitter, people have become outraged and have commented on his judgment, while others followed along.
Now that he is being attacked with death threats and sarcastic comments by Twitter followers, Scott Baio has spoken out stating that he posts a lot of jokes with pictures and he’s not targeting anyone. In fact, he stated that laughter is the best medicine before saying that his wife Renee Sloan’s best friend is black, and that if he was racist he wouldn’t have directed shows such as The Parkers and The Wayans Brothers, amongst others.
The photo reportedly came after he had been posting Twitter posts in support of Massachusetts Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown who recently shocked pollsters when nude photos of the Senator surfaced from an old Cosmo photoshoot, followed by a candid picture of the Senator posing with his two daughters (who he announced were single and available) in bikinis, as reported on HipHopRX.com.
Scott Baio also states that he will call in the FBI for those who leave death threats. So far, one Twitter user was deleted after Baio uploaded a screenshot of one of the threats asking users to help get them banned.
Lupe Fiasco To Perform In Support Of Democratic Candidate
Posted by: Q-Wreck on Jan, 22 2010 (Hip-Hop News)
Chi-town emcee Lupe Fiasco will be performing on January 28 in support of current state senate candidate Cherlye Jackson.
Jackson, who heads the Chicago Urban League, announced her candidacy for Illinois Senator last fall after current incumbent Roland Burris declined to finish his full term following a senate appointment scandal.
“I am running to fight for our families and to help our communities all around the state of Illinois prosper, particularly at a time of such tough economic declines,” said Jackson. “The people of Illinois deserve an honest, independent broker and a bold advocate in Congress who is a problem solver and not another politician.”
The performance will take place at The Shrine Chicago. Tickets for the event are $30, and doors open at 8 p.m. All proceeds will be donated to Jackson’s senate campaign. Lupe Fiasco’s third studio album Lasers will be released later this year.

When your dad is best friends with the best in the biz, you know the guest list is going to be insane!
Sean “Diddy” Combs is throwing his oldest son Justin a 16th birthday bash that’s going to be filmed for MTV’s My Super Sweet 16.
The guest list includes Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, Lil’ Kim, boxer Floyd Mayweather and Jay-Z and Beyonce might be stoppping by as well. A source describes:
“The club will be decorated with images from the New York skyline. Diddy will perform with his band, Diddy-Dirty Money, but there will also be some big-name performers taking the stage to surprise Justin.”
His dad may be spoiling Justin rotten, but their hearts are in the right place. Instead of gifts, the father-son duo are asking that guests make a donation to the Haiti fund!
Swizz Beatz Says He’s Ready To Cook Up Some Bangers For T.I. & Shyne Based On Their “After Prison” State Of Minds

Swizz Beatz’s commitments are even more hectic than the last time we featured him in this section — the guy only touches U.S. soil for a brief stint these days. Luckily he stopped by our offices before jetting off to Paris and told us a bit about the next Jay-Z album. Swizz has huge things on the horizon, including a song for Haiti with Jigga and U2, a top-secret movie score, high-end art, clothing design and crafting a new, worldly sound for himself and other artists.
“I get the pressure cookers,” Swizz says about record execs and artists calling him for must-need smash singles. “It’s cool, because I been trained like that since day one. I came from that pressure with my uncles and everybody needed the singles not now, but right now. I’m there getting carpal tunnel in my hand, going in. That [work ethic] never leaves you.”
On DMX’s Comeback LP: “It’s still love. At the end of the day, it’s about scheduling, timing — if it was just about going in the studio, we would have 50 albums done. But it’s not about that; it’s about a lot of personal things. I’m on this side of the world, he’s on that side of the world — how do we come and meet?”
On Drake’s Debut Thank Me Later: “For Drake, I’m like, ‘What you want? A party joint or you want another story joint? What you wanna do?’ He said the smartest thing: ‘We could shoot for a club thing but don’t leave out anything else.’ I like that. He’s being open-minded, ’cause that means I’m comfortable with surfing in different areas musically. We could surf there, surf there, but don’t box me in a corner, like, ‘I need that #1 club smash right now.’ ”
On T.I.’s 2010 Album: “That’s the homie. I don’t have nothing for him yet. His mind and his thought pattern before he went [to jail] is gonna be different from when he gets out. That man has been in the penitentiary at a time that was the height of his career — he might come out and not wanna use curses no more. He might come out and use more curses. I don’t know. I can’t create the sound for Tip that’s based on ‘Swing Ya Rag’ and ‘Bring Em Out’ and all these things we’ve done unless it’s his plan. He’s gotta come out, [I] sit down with him, chill how we chill. I gotta do a couple of records with him. I can’t be the first thing coming out.”
On Shyne’s Comeback LP: “I’m rocking with Shyne. I need him to find himself a little bit. Not to say he don’t know who he is, I just need him to vibe off a couple beats and be like, ‘Swizz, these are four joints right here I been rocking with, me and Scott Storch or whoever. This is the lane I wanna go with.’ Then I could digest those things and then I can come up with the best records for Tip, Shyne, for everybody. These are different techniques so I can use those darts.”
