Actor and comedian D. L. Hugley  headlined two shows on Friday Oct. 9th  at the Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee, MA. He is perhaps best known as the star of the ABC/UPN sitcom The Hughleys, and as one of the four comedians featured in the Spike Lee film The Original Kings of Comedy. He was the host of CNN’s D. L. Hughley Breaks the News, a short-lived comedy show. He is currently a correspondent for The Jay Leno Show. Hughley was the original host of ComicView, the stand-up comedy program on BET. During 2005, he had a short-lived talk show on Comedy Central called Weekends at the D.L.. He is a member of The Original Kings of Comedy, and has also had roles on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and on NBC’s Scrubs as Turk’s brother.

He was the host of the 2008 BET Awards. Hughley was selected to host and write a comedic news-show on CNN which covers global happenings in politics, entertainment, sports and pop culture, titled D. L. Hughley Breaks the News, which aired its premiere episode on Saturday, October 25, 2008 at 10 p.m. EDT on CNN. On March 9, 2009, CNN announced Hughley would be ending the show due to a desire to work in Los Angeles and be closer to his family. He plans to continue his work with CNN as a Los Angeles-based contributor for the network. Recently, Hughley began a career as an on-air radio personality. On July 20, 2009, The D.L. Hughley Morning Show premiered on WRKS (more popularly known as 98.7 Kiss FM), an urban adult contemporary station in New York City. His co-hosts include former BET news correspondent Jacque Reid.

In a recent interview on ABC’s “Primetime: Family Secrets” Jon Gosselin said that he “despised” his soon to be ex-wife Kate Gosselin. I don’t think he  should be going on national television and telling all of America that he despises the mother of his kids. In this day and age I wouldn’t be surprised if his 9-year old twins are already googling mommy and daddy. I understand his anger with Kate but taking out all of his frustrations infront of the camera isn’t going to help his public image! Maybe try waiting to get a girlfriend until after you’re actually divorced then you wouldn’t have these problems!

He also accuses Kate of verbally abusing him and beating him down during their marriage. Which is not really a surprise for those of us who actually watch the show. Lord knows she was awful to him during most of those shows. So for that part I would have to agree with him that yes Kate completely demoralized him, but he also let her do it, so it’s both of their faults. After all every story does have two sides and marriage is always 50/50.

As if that wasn’t enough he also went on to say that he loves his current girlfriend, 23-year old Hailey Glassman, more than he ever loved Kate. Oh snap! Now that’s just plain cruel. How he’s going to explain that one to the kids later on down the road is beyond me. I mean he did marry Kate, he did love Kate and he did have 8 kids with Kate, regardless of how much he dislikes her at the current time he is stuck with her for the rest of his life. That’s the payoff when you have kids with someone. So my advice to Jon would be to just accept it and move on because it won’t be worth all the fighting and finger pointing in the end. You have to come together for the kids, because they’re the ones who suffer the most!

Eventually the kids will get old enough to figure out what’s going on and they’re going to end up resenting both of their parents if they keep this up. I guess in the Jon & Kate world money does make the world go round which is why they continue to do the show (isn’t it always about the money?). I understand it must cost a ton to raise 8 kids and put them through college, but putting them in the public eye while going through a divorce is NOT a good idea!

I am and always will be team 8!

I think Jon and Kate should be made to spend eternity with that moron Dr. Phil.

I think the USA Network is the second best network on TV.

I think twenty-four hour news stations should be illegal.

I think that Hollywood has Black Listed original thought.

I think the New England Patriots are scary this year.

I think I still hate all New York sports teams.

I think people know less than they think they do.

I think politicians should be made to pass a history exam before they can hold office.

I think hockey should be played from October to March.

I think “Tweeting” is for dopes.

I think no one will read this.

I’m out….

OnePoll.com reports a poll of 2,600 lesbians has voted Angelina Jolie the worlds top lesbian icon.
Well Yeah!  It used to be “Xena : Princess Warrior”. I think lesbian and not lesbian alike would love to see a wrestling match between the two to determine the “Lesbian Icon” champion.

I got nothin’.

Men as so unemotional beings sometimes that I think that after a break-up they immediately jump into another relationship so that they don’thave to deal with the emotional pain of the previous one.

Nevertheless I expected this, and I wasn’t shocked by the fact that Jon moved on so quickly. I was shocked, however, by the girl he chose to move on with. In my opinion he could have done a LOT better!

Hailey is a the 22-year-old daughter of New York plastic surgeon Larry Glassman, who performed Kate’s post-sextuplets tummy tuck in 2006, and is now the arm candy on Jon Gosselin’s arm. I personally think that Jon wanted to date someone who was the complete opposite of Kate.

The funny part is that Jon was only 22 when he married Kate and that seemed to have turned out great for him! So why he thinks this new relationship with Hailey will work out is beyong me. I hope for his sake that he doesn’t get too attached to this little girl because Hailey stands for trouble!

- In 2005, Hailey was arrested for marijuana possession. ( Click here to check out the mug shot!)
- Hailey has auditioned for MTV’s “The Real World” and Oxygen’s “Bad Girls Club.”
- Her license was suspended in 2007 after she failed to appear in court for not wearing a seat belt. (Buckle up Hailey…it is the law!)
- She smokes (Jon does too now…he’s so cool!)
- She’s openly bisexual (hmmm…maybe Jon & Hailey + Kate?)
- Her friends say that Hailey is just with Jon so she can get famous. (Total shocker!)

Now there’s even rumors circulating that Jon and Hailey are actually engaged! (Gross!) Jon is of course totally denying those rumors….just like he denied that he cheated on Kate during their marriage (totally believe him, don’t you?).

Jon is what I like to call “in-lust” instead of “in-love” living out those 20’s he never got to experience because he got married too young!

Hailey on the other hand is living it up having just recently gone to Paris with her new man to meet up with fashion designer Ed Hardy (are you kidding me!). The sad part was that Kate was home alone with the kids…still wearing her wedding rings (talk about embarrassing!).

As crazy as Kate was to Jon I think this is mortifying to have to go through a public divorce and on top of it having your soon to be ex-husband running around Paris with a 22-year-old!

My personal thought on Jon Gosselin is that he’s with this girl because she’s helping him with his clothing line and it’s because he has no idea what he’s doing. Kate was always the business-minded one of the duo, he has no clue what he’s getting himself into.

At least now he’s back at his house in PA with his 8 kids. I can’t imagine what all of this is doing to them. I especially feel bad for the older girls, Mady and Kara, considering they probably go online and see all of this craziness!

All I can say is that someone needs to get all of these kids counseling before they all go off the deep end of crazy!

I think Hailey needs to go back to the bar she crawled out from, and Jon needs to act like a father instead of a teenager in love!

Michael Jackson’s merchandise is now onsale online. One of the more interesting products is a sleep mask  with his ‘Dangerous’ eyes on it.

If you don’t know the background story on TV’s favorite family here’s a quick synopsis. Jon met Kate…Jon married Kate…Jon and Kate had twin girls, then decided to have one more child and ended up with sextuplets (with the help of fertility drugs). Then yay America was fascinated with them and asked them to do a reality TV show and of course they accepted…who wouldn’t?

So the 5th season is about to start and people will definitely be tuning in to see what unfolds with all the latest developments on Jon & Kate’s “marital problems.” At the end of the 4th season Jon went to PA to help his mom who was sick. Supposedly he was down there by himself for 8 days and partied until the sun came up on various nights with random young college girls. One girl in particular has been making a lot of headlines 23-year-old Deanna Hummel (who graduated from college in 2007). Allegedly Jon was seen leaving her house at 7:30am. She was seen sunbathing in the front yard of his new house. Her brother Jason claims he heard Jon and Deanna having sex (Eww!). Then Deanna comes back in people.com with “My brother is very shady,” says Hummel. “He has no job. He has a criminal background. He was charged for drug distribution. He’s on probation right now.”

So there are the current “facts” that are circulating. I put facts in quotations because you can never really believe what you read. I mean who knows. The brother sounds like a loser who just wants some publicity…maybe a little celebrity? make a little money? You know those magazines pay for those “exclusive” interviews right?

Do I think Kate is a little high strung? Maybe a little bitchy and mean? Yes in fact I do. But if you ask me if Jon loves her I would still say yes! I think Jon just wanted to pretend for a few days that he could just go back to being normal and that people would treat him normal and he could get away from the cameras and the fame that comes with having your own show. I think it’s all harmless since there’s no hard core evidence. I mean they say that video was from 7:30am but who knows what time it was taken or for that matter who knows where it was filmed! And why would Jon bring his “mistress” to his NEW house and have her sunbathing in a bikini on his FRONT YARD? Even if Kate wasn’t home he has neighbors, he has kids, he has camera crews and nannies and house keepers! If he was cheating he wouldn’t have done that. Men who cheat hide their cheating. Jon’s a quality guy, he’s a good husband and everyone who watches the show can see he’s a good father. He’s just a guy who is trying his best to handle the situation in front of him.

They make between $50-$75 thousand per episode! I once heard that it cost $1,000,000 to raise a child from birth to 18 years old. Considering they have 8 kids I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to stick it out for the money.

I love me some Jon & Kate Plus 8 because the kids are toooo cute!!!!!!!! So I am routing for that family! I’d rather see them bicker on air and be real with the public then pretend they are the ‘Leave It To Beaver’ family of the new millennium!

New season debuts on May 25th!
