Giving you the scoop every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!
What’s Happening?
Lebron James was all smiles after leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first ever NBA Championship! The superstar and his 
team have advanced to the NBA Finals, where they will take on the two time champion San Antonio Spurs in a seven game series beginning on Thursday June 7th. The person who should be the most worried is James’ long time girlfriend Savannah Brinson, but not for obvious reasons.
Savannah is expected to deliver the couples second child on June 17th during what could be the most import series of games the team has played in its history. When Brinson gave birth to LeBron James Jr. in October 2004, James left training camp in Columbus for several days. That time, Brinson was about a week late giving birth.
If she’s early this time and the Cavs are playing, there’s a chance it could happen while the team is 1,000 miles away in San Antonio. Just last month Savannah, 8-months pregnant was taken from the arena on a stretcher in the middle of a play-off game, neither the superstar baller or his mother left the game to accompany Ms. Brinson to the hospital. All We Can Say At The SdB eZine: If the playoffs are any indication of his priorities, home girl better put her own mama on speed dial.
In what may be indicative of where America’s head is at…..More people tuned in for the series ending of the Sopranos and the 2007 MTV movie awards then they did for the 2nd Democratic Debate. 8 candidates took the stage in a two part democratic show of support within party lines. Senators John Edwards and Barack Obama both shined, improving from the lackluster almost amauteur performance seen in the first debate back in April. Hillary Clinton seems to still be the front runner displaying what analyst are calling ”firm presidential traits” Sitting center stage the New York Senator seemed to be leading the discussion during most of the night. Though it may not mean anything in the long run we were most impressed with Gov. Richardson and Senator Biden’s outrage and stance on the genocide in Darfur. Click here for a transcript.
As the 2008 Democratic candidates were debating America was tuned into the 2007 MTV Movie awards…the annual event featured celebs from all walks of entertainment in attendance. Several graced the stage for memorable performances that we didn’t connect to any of the nominations. Rihanna performed along with British new comer Amy Winehouse, neither were up for a nomination as far as we could tell. “We” were virtually locked out of the event in terms of awards Jaden Smith son of Will and Jada took home an award for his breakthrough performance in The Pursuit of Happyness along side his father. The rest of the event was a total blackout. Check out the pics here.
In the census…The Panache Report posted breaking news this morning on the death of Tony Thompson. The late singer was a 
member of the group Hi-Five. The singing quartet from Waco was formed in 1990 and had a string of hits including “I like the way (the kissing game)” and “I can’t wait another minute”. Thompson had his own record label, N’Depth, and re-incarnated Hi-Five with four new members, one of whom is his younger brother. The group’s new album, The Return, was released in 2006. 31 year old Thompson was found dead Friday of an suspected drug overdose.

There are places all over the web touting interesting websites to visit. You can catch where to go on the web here in the eZine or go to SdB’s share your link for even more helpful and fun spots on the web. In an effort not to be out done we also feature WHERE NOT TO GO ON THE WEB!!
Today’s Recommended Website NOT to see: Websites designed to promote and encourage lottery clubs are popping up all over the internet. These clubs and websites offer to allow you to purchase lotto tickets all over the world. Although there are some legitimate clubs in the US most are just the latest in a string of scams. http://nationallottery.ws/ Features info on how you can join their “syndicate” group and register to purchase South African lottery tickets for free on their site. They even offer to deposit your winnings into your bank account all for free. Yeah Right! Don’t be fooled most promotions for foreign lotteries are likely to be phony. Many scam operators don’t even buy the promised lottery tickets. Others buy some tickets but keep the “winnings” for themselves. In addition, lottery hustlers use the victims’ bank account numbers to make unauthorized withdrawals or their credit card numbers to run up additional charges. Lastly In both the U.S. and Canada, it’s illegal to play a foreign lottery – through the mail or on the telephone or Internet.
That’s All Yall!
