Breaking News: LOLA RESTAURANT IS BACK!!!

To all the New Yorkers who have been missing a certain fab black restaurant called Lola (formerly of W. 22nd Street), sound the trumpets, because Lola is back back back. After a protracted legal battle about their liquor license, it appears Lola will reopen somewhere near the Holland Tunnel. We hope our favorite tranny waiter Darrell will be back too. (BTW, racist neighbors beefed about the liquor license because they feared the restaurant, which was always a class act would become, a hip-hop club (quelle horror)).

P.S. Also in New York gossip, are we the only people who didn't know about Miss Jones' antics with Beyonce's mother? Question for HR over at HOT 97...how many suspensions does one get before being umm, terminated?

It Doesn't Pay to Emulate U2....Especially if you're a Nigro

Sooooo...apparently our boy, Mos Def solidified his street cred with an arrest, last night, outside the MTV Video Music Awards.

A personal favorite of mine, this rapper extraordinaire took it upon himself to "Edutain" the masses (with sound system in tow) on the streets of NYC outside of the MTV Awards venue Thursday night.

Not unlike the impromtu rooftop stylings of U2, Mos Def took his message to the streetz with an ode to Katrina, a consciousness rap with a touch of "what the f*ck George Dubya"... only difference, the nigro was arrested.

Def was given a summons and was released FROM JAIL FRIDAY morning...

BTW...the Yahoo.com/Reuters version of the article is crap...check out the REAL DEAL here.
