| Hip-Hop Rumors: Dave Chappelle Sonned? Bobby Brown & The White Girl?
I am not sure if BET is looking for new hosts on “106 & Park," but I heard a rumor that might have been confusing things. From what I heard, BET is looking to do another Hip-Hop show. I did hear that they had open casting calls for that as well. It is speculated that this show will replace the ailing “Rap City."
CONGRATS TO MONICA AND ROCKO!
From what I hear, Rocko and Monica have been blessed with the birth of their second son named Romello M.Hill. He was born Jan 8th. I heard the lil' tike is very cute. Shout out the ATL crew on getting another member to the family.

Sure, the results aren't great at present, but the management and playing staff need all our support at this differcult time. The fans need to stick together and act as a 12th man. I would worry if the Rainham End was full of Dave Hudsons. we would definitely be relegated with their attitude. if you're that worried about the dross at the KRBS, don't bother coming. Following the Gills loyally is through thick and thin. Onwards and upwards UP THE GILLS Trevor Spriggs Dagenham, Friday, February 15, 2008 .
James Mound's Weekend Commodities Review
After just barely penetrating the $100 mark crude oil has setup a bearish pattern that could have some legs to it. While it is logical to think that $100 was psychological and not a rational long term price top, keep in mind that much of the last $30 run up has been lacking fundamental support. Market hysteria, fund interest and spec buying have all helped to bring oil prices way out of proportion with supply and demand fundamentals. So it would seem only logical that a psychological resistance point would actually cause a trend reversal. Look at some long term put plays and get on the short side in a hurry. If we break back to new highs then leave some powder dry to double up because it is not a matter of if but a matter of when this market will go adios ga-bye-bye to the downside.
