Barnes & Noble Will Sell O.J. Simpson's If I Did It Book
Barnes & Noble Inc. has changed its mind about the new O.J. Simpson book.After saying it would not stock copies of "If I Did It" in its stores, citing lack of customer demand, the chain told The Associated Press on Thursday that it would indeed carry the book.
Since the initial decision on Aug. 21 against stocking the book, but selling it online, Barnes & Noble spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating said:
"We've been monitoring the pre-orders and customer requests and have concluded that enough customers have expressed interest in buying the book to warrant stocking it in our stores. We do not intend to promote the book but we will stock it in our stores because our customers are asking for it."
Proceeds from the book will go to Nicole and Ron Goldman's families. And this is a pretty damn sticky issue.
People are going to purchase this book whether they'll admit to it or not. And those who say they'll never go to Barnes & Noble again will be back as early as December, buying Christmas gifts.
I say, blame the publisher and blame O.J. Simpson. If the book wasn't at Barnes, it would be in other places where the losers who wanna read it would find it and purchase it.
Feel free to weigh in? How warped am I?
I Love Britney Spears' New Single "Gimme More"
Yesterday I was chillin' wit my drop top down so my weave can blow when I heard Britney's new song, "Gimme More" on the radio. By the time the chorus hit the second time I found myself saying, "Gimme Gimme Gimme More". I was into it. I dig it. And I'm happy for her. Welcome back, Britney!
Jive records says her album is scheduled for a Nov. 13th release.
"The track that leaked is off of Britney Spears's forthcoming album. The song is "Gimme More," produced by Danja, [and is] written by Nathaniel "Danjahands" Hills, James Washington, Keri Hilson, Marcella Araica.
"The song features the pop star's signature breathy vocals, melodic electronic bleeps over a driving beat and a catchy hook that's is true to the song's title.Spears opens the sexy and sassy tune by defiantly saying, "It's Britney, bitch", and producer Hills ends it in a shout out, saying, "Bet you didn't see this coming."
I also like "Cold as Fire" you can listen to it here!

Daddy Dude Strikes Again: Part 7
Britney Spears' former manager, Larry Rudolph, became the 7th target of Federsperm's terror squad.
Larry went to an L.A. tanning salon yesterday where he was subpoenaed to testify in Brit Brit's escalating custody battle.
Court documents released Thursday revealed Federline's team has also served â" or intends to serve â" her "sober companion" and a former nanny, her assistant, a former bodyguard, a former assistant and records at Promises rehab center.
The heavily redacted documents also disclosed Spears's income: $737,868 a month.
Federline receives $20,000 a month in spousal support and "has no net income after business expenses," the papers say. The payments end in November Spears is "clearly the 'monied party'" in the dispute and should pay for her ex-husband's litigation expenses, Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, argues in the papers.
Rudolph had tried to not get served because he felt his testimony under oath could hurt Spears's case, Ryan Seacrest â" who was in contact with Rudolph over the weekend â" said Monday.
"He's actually on the run," Seacrest reported. "After all they have been through he is still loyal to her."
T-Pain is slated to appear on the MTV Video Music Awards, which Spears is reportedly working on a performance for with magician Criss Angel.

Jessica Simpson Can't Get Over John Mayer
Jessica Simpson has her panties in a bunch over John Mayer dating Cameron Diaz. Maybe she should start paying more attention to her career rather than her ex-boyfriends. How long did she date him? Just a few months? Jessica, there's plenty of other hot men out there who would love to bang you so move on.... And take some acting lessons.
A source close to the singer tells Us Simpson is "really jealous" that ex John Mayer is seeing Cameron Diaz. "She had her mouth open a mile wide when she found out," says the source. "She just freaked."Simpson, 27, parted ways with Mayer, 29, in May after dating him on and off for seven months, and "she thinks about him all the time," says the source. "She is so not over him."

Amy Winehouse Won't Be Performing At The MTV Music Awards
Amy Winehouse will not perform at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 9, her U.S. record label confirmed to the Associated Press."In a continued effort to support Amy Winehouse's well being, in addition to the postponement of her U.S. tour, all other U.S. appearances have been canceled," Universal Republic Records said in a statement.
That's going to take down the entertainment value of the awards show by about half! I was getting myself all stoked that I'd get to watch her stumble around on stage and mumble her words for a few minutes. If we're lucky, trashtacular Britney will take her place.
Eve's Ankle Monitor Is Gettin' On Her Nerves
"It's the most annoying thing," she told PEOPLE Tuesday night at Tao Nightclub in Las Vegas. "When they told me I was getting it on, I thought it was going to be like a beeper, but it's like a pair of Bose headphones."
Having to deal with a DUI in the public eye was "disgusting" enough, Eve said, but the hardest part: Telling her mom. "I'm still scared of her ... [I] had to tell her before someone else told her or she saw it or heard it.""I definitely learned my lesson," she added. "It was a stupid situation, stupid decision. I did something dumb and now I'm paying for it ... Don't drink and drive kids."
