Can’t say I didn’t smell this one coming.
Musician Wyclef Jean is thinking about running for President of Haiti, CNN’s Sara Holbrooke reported on a blog post. The Haitian-American told CNN, “I can’t sing forever,” and that he’s already filled out the paperwork required for a presidential run. The French-language Canadian publication Le Droit first reported the story over the weekend, and suggested that Jean could be in a good position to battle the rampant corruption of his Caribbean homeland since he’s already wealthy.

Well, it’s always marvelous to see our people going out and making a difference. I wasn’t going to announce this so soon, but I am thinking about running for president of Obama’s Beauty Supply and South Miami Heights. I believe that with my wit and vigor, ice cream trucks will once again roam the streets in the hood, prices of yaki will drop, and Red Lobster will bring back all-you-can-eat shrimp!

Well look who’s still working hard and keeping panties moist — it’s Steph Jones!
Our soulful singing friend has another record making waves around the net. This one is called “B E A utiful” — an uptempo record about the various forms of beauty. Steph says, “I just wanted people to feel comfortable in there own sexy.. Sexy comes in any color shape or size!”
Be thankful someone is saying this shit! Personally, I’m tired of seeing all the same types of women in these magazines and TV shows. Why can’t Gabourey Sidibe shake her ass in a Drake video?
Check the song out below.

Where the hell have you been? The fuckery, hot mess, and other good times of THE FURY have officially returned. Feel free to apply your most luxurious Creole-inspired lacefront for this momentous occasion. Thanks a million to my boy Zillz for saving my life and spicing this shit up for me. There will be a few more tweaks here and there, but this is your new home, so keep your feet off the couch!
I have received all of the Twitter messages, emails, and death threats — you people wanted the blog back and I’m sorry I made you wait so long. Now I’m back like the warts on Kat Stacks’ genitals and it’s time to wreak havoc! Shake that ass and make your baby daddy/baby mama mad!
Love + Respect,

The infamously offensive and hilarious Adult Swim cartoon will be returning to your TV screens next year with plenty of “niggas” to go around.
Following a roughly three-year hiatus, the popular animated series The Boondocks will be returning to TV in the New Year, says creator Aaron McGruder.
The third season should air in early 2010, according to this message posted to the writer’s Twitter account (@aaronmcgruder) early Christmas Day: “Finally got an airdate for Season 3. Not sure if I’m allowed to put it out yet, so I’ll just say you got about three months! Merry Xmas!!”
The popular yet controversial comic strip-turned-cartoon premiered in 2005 on Cartoon Network and centers on the antics of brothers Huey and Riley (both voiced by actress Regina King). The second season aired in 2007.

I’m sure there will be tons of dead Michael Jackson jokes, cracks on Obama, and maybe a hint of Tiger Woods shade. I’m strapping on my seat belt now!

Just in time for the holiday festivities, here is the new Steph Jones video for his remake of the popular Christmas song, “Little Drummer Boy”. Ya’ll already know that this man’s name is stamped on my stan card, so this post was inevitable. The video features cameos from Jordin Sparks, B. Scott, and Steph’s pectoral muscles.
This is what Mr. Jones had to say on why he chose to recreate this tune.
I didn’t make this song just for Christmas. It’s a song that I remade to show that when its your true calling you are to be the best you can in order to inspire others…which will bring people together. When me, Jordin Sparks and B. Scott were marching with those drums I imagined us being on the frontline in a war and it was my way of saying that it doesn’t matter if you are man, women, gay or straight… We should all be able to come together and fight for a certain cause no matter who you are.. And once we truly figure that out then that’s when we grow as a people.

Get glad, bitches!
The ambiance at Manhattan’s legendary Chung King Studios Wednesday night (Dec. 9) was vintage Erykah Badu: black floor pillows, scented candles, dark lighting that induced a trippy, laidback mood. It was an intriguing setting for the 38-year-old Dallas, Texas native who was in a light-hearted and at times candid mood during a listening session for her upcoming release New Amerykah, Part II (Return of the Ankh), due out Feb. 23, 2010.
“I feel how I felt when I released Baduizm,” said the always-eccentric performer, wearing a Flashdance-era gray sweatshirt, yellow jogging pants, blue leggings and silver slippers. Over a mix of live piano, jazz guitars, dusty soul samples, driving acoustic bass, live drums, and J-Dilla-esque hip-hop sound-clashes, Badu delivers an album that offers the emotional highs, lows and maddening complexities of being involved in a romantic relationship. The project, which features contributions from The Roots drummer ?uestlove, producers Madlib and Sa-Ra, keyboardist James Poyser, 9th Wonder and late influential hip hop producer J Dilla, may be as musically accessible as Erykah Badu can get.
“This is my therapy,’ she continues of the album’s more personal tone. “New Amerykah Pt. 1 [had a more] digital feel. This time I wanted to have more live instruments. I like how my voice sounds when I’m singing with a piano. I’m glad I don’t have to use Auto-Tune. My voice is my gift.” Badu then muses, “But if I had to use [Auto-Tune], I would.” [source]
Please fall into the Auto-Tune shade at the end! Shouts to Erykah-Badu.com for the pic. Highlights of The Queen’s new album are after the jump.

There’s nothing like a good old trip down to Wal-Mart to make your fuckery meter hit code red and burst in delight. Come on, you know you have walked around in that bitch only in hopes of bumping into a tragedy or two. I can always count on finding someone’s mother perusing the frozen food section, wearing a nightie and clutching a Florida Lotto ticket. That’s reason enough for me to head out there on a random weeknight.
Anyway, here are some photos of Wal-Mart shoppers and their variety packs of fun. Don’t forget to bookmark PeopleofWalMart.com for a daily laugh.
