High School HIV Out break


While I was browsing my favorite website, mediatakeout.com I ran across a story from St.Louis about a high school HIV outbreak, where 50 students tested positive for the virus. Now the entire student body will be tested. My jaw hit the floor. I have heard of high school students having HIV before but an outbreak???? IN HIGH SCHOOL, Not college, took me by surprise. I couldn't imagine getting ready for homecoming and being told I have HIV, or graduation for that matter. I think it is past time for us as a country to get serious about this situation. Especially those in the African American community. This isn't a disease you can come back from, this is a disease you will have for LIFE. I have a younger sister who is in high school and I make it my business to tell her the truth about unsafe sex and the consequences. We live in a time now where it's wrap it up or DIE. One silly move could cost you your life, and the lives of others.

Danity Kane


Last Night on the season finale of Making The Band, Diddy dismantled his top selling female group, because of internal issues. This is huge!! Over the years fans have grown with this group from the very beginning. However,rumors had been circling for months about Aubrey and D woods were being kicked out from the group. The remaining members, seem hopeful that maybe things will work out. Diddy however didn't appear to feel the same way. This is certainly a saga that will continue.

BEYONCE Is Back!!


Yesterday Beyonce hit 106 and park with the videos for her two new singles, If I Were A Boy and Single Ladies. Both videos were great to say the least. Not just because I'm a huge fan either. Single Ladies is a non-stop dance video, while If I were a boy is a mini movie. Beyonce flips the relationship roles in this one. She plays the busy boyfriend who seems to do everything wrong, and the guy plays the faithful girlfriend who does everything right, but still gets the short end of the stick!. I can't wait for the album, but these two will do for now. They are sure to reach the top of the charts!
