African man gets chased by angry mob... Uses magic and transforms into a goat?!?!?
One of Nigeria's biggest daily newspapers reported that police implicated a goat in an attempted automobile theft. In a front-page article on Friday, the Vanguard newspaper said that two men tried to steal a Mazda car two days earlier in Kwara State, with one suspect transforming himself into a goat as vigilantes cornered him.The paper quoted police spokesman Tunde Mohammed as saying that while one suspect escaped, the other transformed into a goat as he was about to be apprehended.The newspaper reported that police paraded the goat before journalists, and published a picture of the animal.Police in the state couldn't immediately be reached for comment.Belief in black magic is widespread in Nigeria, particularly in far-flung rural areas.

When is enough, enough? 100 Point Blow Out!
DALLAS -- A Texas high school girls basketball team on the winning end of a 100-0 game has a case of blowout remorse.
Now officials from The Covenant School say they are trying to do the right thing by seeking a forfeit and apologizing for the margin of victory.
"It is shameful and an embarrassment that this happened," Kyle Queal, the head of the school, said in a statement, adding the forfeit was requested because "a victory without honor is a great loss."
The private Christian school defeated Dallas Academy last week. Covenant was up 59-0 at halftime.
A parent who attended the game told The Associated Press that Covenant continued to make 3-pointers -- even in the fourth quarter. She praised the Covenant players but said spectators and an assistant coach were cheering wildly as their team edged closer to 100 points.
"I think the bad judgment was in the full-court press and the 3-point shots," said Renee Peloza, whose daughter plays for Dallas Academy. "At some point, they should have backed off."
Dallas Academy coach Jeremy Civello told The Dallas Morning News that the game turned into a "layup drill," with the opposing team's guards waiting to steal the ball and drive to the basket. Covenant scored 12 points in the fourth quarter and "finally eased up when they got to 100 with about four minutes left," he said.
Dallas Academy has eight girls on its varsity team and about 20 girls in its high school. It is winless over the last four seasons. The academy boasts of its small class sizes and specializes in teaching students struggling with "learning differences," such as short attention spans or dyslexia.
There is no mercy rule in girls basketball that shortens the game or permits the clock to continue running when scores become lopsided. There is, however, "a golden rule" that should have applied in this contest, said Edd Burleson, the director of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools. Both schools are members of this association, which oversees private school athletics in Texas.
"On a personal note, I told the coach of the losing team how much I admire their girls for continuing to compete against all odds," Burleson said. "They showed much more character than the coach that allowed that score to get out of hand. It's up to the coach to control the outcome."
In the statement on the Covenant Web site, Queal said the game "does not reflect a Christ-like and honorable approach to competition. We humbly apologize for our actions and seek the forgiveness of Dallas Academy, TAPPS and our community."
Covenant coach Micah Grimes did not immediately respond to a message left by The Associated Press on Thursday.
Queal said school officials met with Dallas Academy officials to apologize and praised "each member of the Dallas Academy Varsity Girls Basketball team for their strength, composure and fortitude in a game in which they clearly emerged the winner."
Civello said he appreciated the gesture and has accepted the apology "with no ill feelings."
At a shootaround Thursday, several Dallas Academy players said they were frustrated during the game but felt it was a learning opportunity. They also said they are excited about some of the attention they are receiving from the loss, including an invitation from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to see an NBA game from his suite.
"Even if you are losing, you might as well keep playing," said Shelby Hyatt, a freshman on the team. "Keep trying, and it's going to be OK."
Peloza said the coach and other parents praised the Dallas Academy girls afterward for limiting Covenant to 12 points in the fourth quarter. She added that neither her daughter nor her teammates seemed to dwell on the loss.
"Somewhere during that game they got caught up in the moment," Peloza said of the Covenant players, fans and coaches. "Our girls just moved on. That's the happy part of the story."

Rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson gets a nod as an early influence, and the sidemen inductees are Spooner Oldham and two of Elvis Presley's musicians - drummer D.J. Fontana and bassist Bill Black.
The induction will be held in Cleveland on April 4.

Ohio Teen Kills Mom over Halo?!!!!
ELYRIA, Ohio (Jan. 13) - Although a teenager's obsession with a violent video game may have warped his sense of reality, the boy is guilty of murdering his mother and wounding his father after they took "Halo 3" away from him, a judge ruled Monday.
"I firmly believe that Daniel Petric had no idea at the time he hatched this plot that if he killed his parents they would be dead forever," Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge said.
Rejecting an insanity defense, a judge in Elyria, Ohio, ruled Monday that a 17-year-old was guilty of fatally shooting his mother and wounding his father after they took away his "Halo 3" video game. Daniel Petric, here in 2007, faces the possibility of being sentenced to life without parole.

WOMAN AUCTIONS VIRGINITY FOR $3.7M!!!
Shes cute but not $3.7 Million Cute!
Natalie Dylan, 22, claims her offer of a one-night stand has persuaded 10,000 men to bid for sex with her.
Last September, when her auction came to light, she had received bids up to £162,000 ($243,000) but since then interest in her has rocketed.
The student who has a degree in Women's Studies insisted she was not demeaning herself.
Miss Dylan, from San Diego, California, USA, said she was persuaded to offer herself to the highest bidder after her sister Avia, 23, paid for her own degree after working as a prostitute for three weeks.
She said she had had a lot of attention from a wide range of men, including "weirdos", "those who get really graphically sexual about what they want to do to me" and "lots of polite requests from rich businessmen".
Miss Dylan said she did not think it was particularly significant to be willing to sell your virginity and insisted that she was happy to undergo medical tests for any doubters.
She said: "I get some men who are obviously looking for a girlfriend but I try and make it clear that this is a one-night-only offer.
"I know that a lot of people will condemn me for this because it's so taboo but I really don't have a problem with that.
"My study is completely authentic in that I truly am auctioning my virginity but I am not being sold into this. I'm not being taken advantage of in any way.
"I think me and the person I do it with will both profit greatly from the deal."
She added: "It's shocking that men will pay so much for someone's virginity, which isn't even prized so highly anymore."

Obama has rap beef with Jay -Z?!?!?!
by Bruce Banter
President Elect Barack Obama is threatening to cancel Jay Z's appearance at his January 20th Inauguration in Washington, D.C. if the rapper born Sean Carter performs new pro Palestinian lyrics that support Hamas. Obama advisers got a preview of the lyrics when David Axelrod accompanied Jay Z and Beyonce to an outdoor fundraiser for Michael Steinhardt. Steinhardt asked Jay Z to do a freestyle rap dissing Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. But Carter declined to get involved in the "beef" saying he is married and avoids beef nowadays "by any means neccesary".
Then in a odd scenario of events Jay Z approached Steinhardt 20 minutes later and asked could he rap about Hamas extensive social programs that have gained popularity in Palestinian society by establishing hospitals, education systems, libraries and other services throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip. According to Axelrod Jay Z told Steinhardt I will do a rap but "I want to change the dialogue" Jay Z said I want to mention Hamas "beef with Israel as political and not religious or antisemitic and that Hamas is democratically elected but can't get recognition despite Hamas's political wing having won many local elections in Gaza, Qalqilya, and Nablus".
Steinhardt said "nobody cares about Hamas" but Jay Z cited that Hamas is not what the mainstream media is depicting and pointed to the recent January 2006, surprise victory in the Palestinian parliamentary elections, taking 76 of the 132 seats in the chamber, while the previous ruling Fatah party took 43.
Steinhardt told Jay Z to forget he mentioned doing a diss song because the rapper was being anti-social. Jay Z popped his collar, brushed his shoulders off and then backed away from his handlers and stood in the cold and hummed underneath his breath the lyrics to a pro Hamas song called "Gaza Strip Club". Axelrod said everybody there could clearly hear him humming this truce song and these actions were passive aggressive". Axelrod told the Associated Press that "Gaza Strip Club" would clearly embarass Obama. When Jay Z was asked would he perform this song he only responded "GSC all day."

Jermaine Dupri Released from Def Jam
JERMAINE Dupri has left the Universal Music building. Dupri was president of Island Records until he was unceremoniously booted on Wednesday.
A source said, "After [his girlfriend] Janet Jackson's album and tour bombed, he basically didn't come back to work. He still collected a paycheck, but didn't bother to do anything that he was supposed to do, like find artists, release records or actually show up.
Executives tried to talk to him, but he just lost heart."
Dupri was widely blamed for Jackson's album flop as he insisted on letting her get her way on song selection and production of the release, "Discipline."

Asher Roth AKA Passenger 57!
According to his publicist, none other than Asher Roth was involved in detaining the man who just made a bomb threat on an Atlanta-to-LAX flight. The rapper was on his way to LA for a performance on Carson Daly. The LA Times reports:
"The unidentified man was aboard Delta Airlines Flight 110, which was approaching Los Angeles, when he got up and stated he had a bomb, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.
"There was an altercation with multiple passengers, who ultimately subdued the man with plastic ties. At one point he tried to exit through one of the aircraft doors after the flight landed at LAX."

COMEDIAN KATT WILLIAMS GOT SLAPPED IN HIS FACE BY ANGRY FAN
Guess who got slapped like a BEEYOTCH .,.. Comedian Katt Williams. Katt started talking out the side of his neck to somebody … and he got regulated.
Here’s how it went down:
Sooooo he starts going in on this one dude who was wearing a cowboy hat and matching boots. Spies in the house say the crowd was cracking up until Mr. Cowboy walked up to Kat and bitch slapped him across the face.
They say Kat, who was without any sort of entourage, just sat in a corner smoking a cigarette and when someone approached him asking if he was alright, he answered, "Hell naw I ain't alright! Didn't you just see that n*gga slap me!?"
DANG … Katt … you better stick to talking reckless about NON-FAMOUS DUDES!!!

SOULJA BOY REFUSES TO COOPERATE IN POLICE … WON'T GIVE CRUCIAL DETAILS INTO HIS OWN ROBBERY!!!
You may have heard that last week rapper Soulja Boy was robbed at gunpoint by a group of goons. Well now Soulja Boy is refusing to cooperate with police.
One person with insider details explained, “[Soulja Boy] just wants the whole thing behind him. He’s grateful that no one was hurt and he’s not trying to do or say anything that could cause more problems.”
The insider added, “Soulja Boy no longer lives in [the same neighborhood] and his new home has added security.”
Man all them youtube videos this dude makes youd think he would have already have some security...... talk about not having your priorities straight.

JIM JONES CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING NE-YO AT THE LOUIS VUITTON STORE … FACES UP TO A YEAR IN JAIL!!!
You may have heard that rapper Jim Jones was involved in an altercation with R&B singer Ne-Yo in the Louis Vuitton store on December 23rd.
Well now the police are involved. Yesterday, the Harlem rapper made his way to a New York precinct to discuss an incident with investigators.
Bow Blogz can report that rapper Jim Jones wasn’t arrested. Instead he was issued a Desk Appearance Ticket for misdemeanor assault. "I don't know what this is for," Jones said when asked about the scuffle. "All I know is I was shopping. I don't know what happened."
Interestingly enough, neither rapper Ne-Yo or Jay Z’s best friend Tyran "Ty Ty" Smith – the two who were injured - filed a police report. Curiously enough, the Louis Vuitton store didn’t file a police report either.
Guess there’s A NO SNITCHIN’ At Louis Vuitton!!!
I dont know bout yall but Jimmy gets no props for stomping out a RnB dude.

Keisha Cole Stalking Young JeezY?!?!?!
An interesting rumor is going around Atlanta. Word on the street is that R&B singer Keyshia Cole has become obsessed with rapper Young Jeezy ... and is now stalking him.
Keyshia Cole has been trying DESPERATELY to get back together with Young Jeezy. But that Jeezy has been avoiding her – and not returning her calls or messages.
And there's more, Keyshia has been showing up uninvited to Atlanta clubs and attempting to confront him about his actions. Jeezy was set to perform at Velvet and Keisha showed up with friends, including [R&B singer] Monica. Apparently she was trying to meet him face to face that night ... [Jeezy] left the club."
The insider speculated that Jeezy is considering legal action against Keyshia and that he "may take out a restraining order against Keyshia."
Word is theres a video of Keyshia talking slick about Jeezy in a ATL club. Here's an excerpt of what she said:
I’m just doing my thing out here. Keeping that money popping so that I can handle my business the way it should be handled…without a MAN.
I’ve been single for like a year now but it’s all good regardless. Shout out to Young Jeezy! I mean I haven’t talked to him in about a year but shout out to Young Jeezy …!

Stephon Marbury may go to the Boston Celtics!
Nearly one year since Stephon Marbury last played in a regular-season game, signals are getting stronger that the New York Knicks' outcast will eventually make his comeback with the Boston Celtics.
That still depends largely on Marbury's ability to negotiate his release from the Knicks after weeks of fruitless and oft-contentious buyout talks, but sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com this week that Boston is Marbury's preferred destination if he manages to become a free agent and that the Celtics are indeed hopeful of signing him.

Kim was put into the truck that sped off.

2008 Month by Month in Review Hip Hop and Pop Culture.
As we end 2008 and head into 2009. I think the best way to bring in the new year is to remember the last. Everyone welcome to the first installment of the Bow Blogz
JANUARY
Hip Hop
- Articles were published that 50, Wyclef and MJB are tied to steroid trafficking. You know what that means…50’s jacked but got a small wang hahahahaha
- Eminem is hospitalized, reports indicate his weight exceeds 200 pounds.
- Flo Rida breaks record for digital sales in a week with 470,000. Apple Bottom jeans, boots with the fur, THE FUR~ people were loving that joint for a minute.
- Jay Z steps down as Def Jam president and LA Reid takes over. Time for a real executive to run Def Jam.
- Hookmaster Nate Dogg suffers a stroke.
Pop
How can we begin without BRITNEY SPEARS - still, amazingly, the most-searched term on Yahoo. A few days into 2008, she melts down spectacularly, ending up in a hospital after locking herself in a room with her young son. We don't need Dr. Phil to tell us this girl needs help, though he does. Celeb magazines freely diagnose her as bipolar. (But more on Britney later.)
And true tragedy strikes when actor HEATH LEDGER dies of an accidental prescription drug overdose in a New York apartment, cutting short a brilliant career.
FEBRUARY
HIP HOP
- Game goes to jail. For name-dropping on every one of his songs.
- DJ Khaled starts his label, We the Best Music, starting what seems to be a never-ending headache.
- Nas announces his the title of his new album. White people are outraged.
- Static Major passes away, R.I.P.
- Hip hop legend KRS-One signs with reemerging independent label, Duck Down Records but you now know nothing will ever come of it, a la Rakim + Aftermath.
POP
The Obama slogan "Yes We Can" ricochets across the Web in rapper and songwriter WILL.I.AM's viral video hit, starring a host of celebrities.
And "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" spoofs the media's fondness for Obama - later, Hillary Rodham Clinton will refer to the skit in a real debate.
HOLLYWOOD WRITERS, meanwhile, end their 100-day strike. Days later, the OSCARS air to dismal ratings.
MARCH
HIP HOP
- Luda and DTP finds a new home in Def Jam.
- “Elephant in the Sand” gets released and the beef between 50 and Joey Crack continues.
- On the other hand, Royce Da 5′9″ and Eminem squash their beef.
- T.I. get his third strike, trying to buy M16’s and grenade launchers and shit.
- 50 starts beef with Rick Ross.
- Nate Dogg pleads guilty to a domestic violence charge. What are you doing Nate? You just had a stroke!

MILEY CYRUS is a genuine superstar at age 15, a role model to countless girls. So what's the problem? A few pesky photos shot by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair.

Bonjour to the new JOLIE-PITT twins, who emerge in France, where parents ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT are hunkered down on their enormous estate. And BATMANIA reigns, thanks to LEDGER'S stunning (and posthumous) portrayal of the Joker in "The Dark Knight."
BRITNEY and PARIS make their unwitting entrance into the campaign, fodder for McCain's commercial mocking Obama as "the biggest celebrity in the world." Hilton, though, gets the last laugh: The doe-eyed hotel heiress, lounging in a leopard-print swimsuit, offers up a much cleverer video riposte.

Call this the anti-celebrity month: Wary after that Britney-Paris spot, the DEMOCRATIC PARTY does its very best to de-emphasize the celeb factor at its convention in Denver. Meanwhile, McCain's anti-celebrity campaign unveils its own, well, celebrity: the telegenic PALIN, who bursts onto the scene with a speech that galvanizes the GOP convention.
MADONNA turns 50! And the chiseled superstar is hardly alone. Also hitting the half-century mark this year: MICHAEL JACKSON, PRINCE and ELLEN DEGENERES.

- 50 learns but not enough apparently. He announces his album release, a week before Kanye’s.
- T.I’s Paper Trail releases to his biggest debut yet.
- Nate Dogg suffers his second stroke of the year. That’s what you get for making terrorist threats at your girl!
POP
"I can see Russia from my house!" FEY debuts her impersonation of PALIN on "Saturday Night Live." Kudos to the "SNL" writers, but you can't say Palin doesn't give them plenty of material - including verbatim chunks of her rambling exchanges with KATIE COURIC. The CBS anchor, long plagued by low ratings and high expectations, makes a welcome comeback.
Also making a comeback: the '60s, with all that guilt-free smoking, thanks to "MAD MEN," the evocative drama on cable's AMC. "Mad Men" wins an Emmy this month, thrilling its small but hugely loyal audience.

"High School Musical 3: Senior Year," the big-screen sequel to the two Disney TV movies, sings and dances its fresh-faced way to the top of the box office, thanks to the durable appeal of Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and the other "HSM" alums.
"SNL" scores its highest ratings in 14 years when it snags the ultimate prize: Palin herself. The VP candidate proves a game cast member, obliging happily when Amy Poehler shouts out: "All the mavericks in the house, put your hands up!" "
And JOE THE PLUMBER makes his debut, as a constant reference in the third presidential debate. Later, Joe, aka Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, 34, campaigns for McCain and Palin.

- Chamillionaire reuses original formula, releases single called “Creepin,” not surprisingly similar to “Ridin.”
POP
Yeah yeah, Obama is elected, but we'll reserve the pop culture prize this month for OPRAH WINFREY. Weeping on the shoulder of a stranger at Obama's victory rally, and gushing uncontrollably on her postelection show, the talk-show queen can surely claim a little credit for the triumph of her "favorite guy." Two economists even claim she brought Obama a million votes in the primaries.
DECEMBER

Any true pop culture story must end as we started: with BRITNEY - for, after a year in which she seemed to reach the depths, this famously durable young woman is in the midst of an astonishing comeback, with "Circus," her latest CD, reaching No.1 on the album charts, according to her label, Jive. At 27, she seems to be not only "the world's pop princess," as her manager says. She's the world's pop culture princess, too.
