Meet She Who Goes By Just Lindsay

I usually don’t rant on stories like this but c’mon Lindsay, you aren’t that big of a star to be going by just one name.  You can’t just “drop” your last name and expect people to start to refer to you as Lindsay.  You will ALWAYS be remembered as “Lindsay Lohan” aka the talented child star gone rich, famous, and drunk driving & crack smoking obstructive as an adult.  And I don’t even want to begin to comment on your friend’s comments:

“So many of the greatest people in showbiz are known by just their first name. Look at Oprah and Beyonce. Now you can add Lindsay to that list. And it’s a way for them all to start over. No one in the family want anything to do with Lindsay’s father [Michael Lohan] anymore and that includes sharing a last name.”

The Official Final Four Poster

Anyone else still having a hard time realizing that this year’s four teams are the ACTUAL four teams left in the tournament?!  UConn and Kentucky aren’t that surprising but VCU and Butler are.  I know a lot of casual fans will probably be tuning out of the VCU vs. Butler game so if CBS is smart they’ll put the UConn and Kentucky game as the nightcap on Saturday.

Drake Drops Young Money, Joins Old Money

At last night’s 2011 Juno Awards, Drake kisses Young Money goodbye and says hello to his new Old Money clique!  Old moolaaaa baby!

Frank Ocean – nostalgia,ULTRA. (Mixtape)

This right here?  Smooth, real smooth.  This kid Frank Ocean is a New Orleans native, now Los Angeles resident, who’s down with the Odd Future crew.  He doesn’t rap that shock stuff but rather croons some smooth harmonies.  After hearing about this mixtape for a few days, I decided to give it a chance and it’s dope.  I’m not even a fan of R&B like that but this kid made a great collection of songs.  He even linked up in the studio with Beyonce after this mixtape began to buzz and she apparently fell in love with the music.  If you want to learn more about him, hit up Complex as they did a great feature on getting to know the new artist.  Download link and tracklist is below:

Dunk Fest: Shannon Brown & LeBron James

Two of the league’s best dunkers showed out last night.  Watch as Shannon Brown pulls a mid-air right hand to left hand switch dunk on the Hornets and LeBron gives Patrick Patterson a filthy facial in a victory over the Blazers.  It’s still disappointing that Chris Shannon Brown never panned out in the Dunk Contest because we all know he’s got ups and could have done some sick stuff.  Maybe he’ll return next year?  Hit the jump for the Bron Bron dunk.

Jay-Z’s Favorite Hue Is Kentucky Blue

After Coach Calipari and his Kentucky Wildcats boys held off UNC last night in Newark’s Prudential Center, the legend Jay-Z rolled through to congratulate the kids.  Shouts to Kentucky guard Darius Miller for adding a huge 11 points in yesterday’s victory and uploading this picture to his Twitter account.  Last year, Coach Cal brought Drake to the team and then now this year it’s Jay-Z – who’s next year?

See I'm a hustla's hope, I'm not his pipe dreams
So when they speak of success, I'm what they might mean
Attract money my worst color is light green
My favorite hue is Jay-Z University of Kentucky blue
-Jay-Z on "Go Crazy Remix"
