M BONE OF CALI SWAG DISTRICT MURDERED



Rap group Cali Swag District's M-Bone was shot and killed late last night. While details have been kept brief, according to an Inglewood police spokesperson, the 22 year old group member sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head while sitting in his vehicle on Le Brea Avenue. M-Bone was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.


Fellow group member Smoove expressed his condolences in a recent tweet. "Ma life changed drastically in the. Blink of an eye rip m-bone".
Cali Swag District made a major impact on the Hip-Hop market last year thanks to their catchy single "Teach Me How to Dougie." The track set off a rap sensation with the tune instructing fans how to perform the dance craze that sparked millions of followers. M-Bone was infamously known as one of the group's prime dancers along with members DJ C-Smoove, Yung and JayAre.

HOW THE SONG CAME TO BE;

"A friend of ours went to Texas Southern[University] . He picked up on the[Dougie] dance[and] he learned how to do it[the way] they do it in Texas," C-Smoove recently told MTV News. "He came back like, 'Y'all should make a song about this dance.' So we made it happen. We went in the booth and we tore it down."

UNION SQUARE IS A METHADONE PLAYGROUND


Hi There!!!, Its me your hostess with the mostess Jackie da Model. I was reading the article below this morning and apparently I made the right choice to not take the train to Union square late night this past friday. As a female i am always with my guards up...especially with the creepy people that linger in areas like union square at night, and or on subway. It doesn't matter how much you THINK you can handle getting around in NYC you should always take precaution and travel safely and or with people you trust.

Read below to hear about the methadone addicts that have scattered among union square park creating havoc (article via nypost website)-JDM:

Welcome to Methadone Alley!
Addicts flocking to the drug clinics that surround Union Square Park have created a "lawless city within a city" where they've been overdosing on drugs and committing crimes ranging from stabbings to exposing themselves, sources told The Post
Spurred by community outrage, the NYPD is stepping up patrols and the private partnership that helps run the park is hiring off duty officers.
The problem centers around what locals call Methadone Alley, a bench-lined path along Union Square East.
The section is named after its inhabitants who spill into the park after visiting the outpatient drug treatment clinics where they get their methadone fixes, said a law-enforcement source said.
'IT'S A HORROR SHOW': A man dozes and drools on a bench in Union Square Park as a pair of local residents do their best to ignore him.

"The public is not safe. It's a lawless city within a city," said Geoffrey Croft of New York City Park Advocates.
"It's a horror show that's been going on far too long."
Preschool teacher Jenn Murphy, 29, said the park has gotten so bad, she now hesitates to bring her kids.
"It's a little shady at times," said Murphy, complaining about low-lifes who hang out near the playground.
"The language they use . . . and sometimes they try to talk to the kids."
Cops have made at least 84 drug-related arrests in and around the park this year. Some recent frightening incidents have included:
* A 28-year-old man was attacked and stabbed three times in the back by a knife-wielding 50-year-old man screaming racial slurs on April 22. The victim survived and the attack is being investigated as a possible hate crime.
* Cops busted an accused perv exposing himself in a woman's bathroom on May 8.
* A woman in her 30s was found unconscious and not breathing near East 16th Street after suffering an overdose on March 19, according to a law-enforcement source.
* A 13-year-old boy's iPad was stolen out of his backpack.
* A 56-year-old man was busted in the park last Wednesday after cops caught him with more than two ounces of marijuana and magic mushrooms.
Parkgoers say the clean-up efforts are way overdue.
"This is horrendous," said a 36-year-old woman sitting on a bench at the dog run with her pooch.
"All the drug addicts. There is a general rowdiness. You feel unsafe, especially when it gets dark out," she said.
But she also vowed she wouldn't be driven out of the park.
"It's New York," she said. "You deal with it."

SOFIA VERGARA IS THE NEW FACE FOR COVER GIRL


We could not think of anyone easier, breezier or more beautiful than Colombian actress Sofia Vergara so we can't say we're in the least bit surprised that she has been named the newest face of COVERGIRL cosmetics!




She just tweeted her big announcement: "My BIG news!! So happy to be the new @covergirl !!!#spon"



The Modern Family actress and mother, 38, is currently shooting her first ever campaign for the cosmetics company for advertisements that will debut in January 2012. She will be representing some brand new products that Cover Girl is introducing.



“I have loved playing with makeup ever since I was a little girl," Vergara said in a statement. “And now, I am so honored to join the line up of extraordinary women that are and have been COVERGIRLs, and to be a part of a brand that is so committed to helping women look and feel beautiful."



Sofia has been having an amazing year! She was nominated for a Golden Globe and Emmy for her work on her hit TV comedy, was named one of People magazine's 50 most beautiful people and has been recognized by both the Hollywood Reporter and Billboard as one of the most infuential Latinas in Hollywood.



We can't wait to see the new campaign, but until then check out the image Sofia tweeted out with her announcement.
