IN TODAY'S 'THIS NIGGAH, HERE' NEWS: BISHOP DON MAGIC JUAN NEW REALITY SHOW, 'PIMPIN' AIN'T EASY.' & TACKY SHOES.

For those of you who don't know this already, I want you to brace yourselves, okay? Yall ready? Here it is: from the same producers who brought you those so-called VH1 reality shows such as I Love New York 1 and 2 and that flavor-less Flavor of Love series will soon bless--or curse--you with an all new reality show starring the one and only Mr. 'Green is for the money and gold is for the honey' himself: Bishop Don Magic Juan. In Pimpin' Ain't Easy, Bishop a.k.a The Green and Gold Tacky Turkey will do what he does best...or better yet, what he was once the best at; but this time there's a bit of a flip to it. Instead of pimping hoes himself, he's taking the charity route in an effort to school several men on how to lay their pimp game down on poor unsuspecting women. The men will be taught what it takes to prepare for dates with multiple women...and whatnot. Although the Bishop has shot the pilot for the series, there's still no word yet on when the show will air or on what network. I guess we'll have to stay in tune.

In other Bishop news, the former-pimp-turned-spiritual-adviser to Snoop Dogg, whose newest slogan these days is, 'I'm so true, they decided to give me a shoe', has just learned that the company who manufactured his signature Emerica McNally gold and neon green sneaker which was originally and successfully marketed toward skateboarders (the shoe sold out), will soon flip the script and push the high-top sneaker with gator panels and gold laces, towards the urban crowd. Well, good luck with that because that damn shoe is about as ugly as homemade chicken soup, I swear to God! Those shoes are about as tacky as those damn suits he wears. 'Hey, I'm thankful. Ain't no other player in the world got a major shoe deal,' Bishop said. Pimp-n!ggah, please!

Find out just how God-awful ugly those shoes are after the jump!

An unorthodox collaboration that steers away from the usual artist collabs, Emerica and the Bishop Don "Magic" Juan have come together to design a "Famous Player" sneaker. Designed to reflect the Bishops' "pimp" style, the "Bishops" feature a money Green colorway, metallic Gold accents, and Gator print. The Emerica "Bishops" are set to release April 2007.

NEW PEFORMANCE PICS: BEYONCE PERFORMING IN MUMBAI INDIA (10.27.2007)

Pop sensation Beyonce Knowles rocked Mumbai as a large gathering of mostly youngsters danced to her hit numbers at a dazzling concert here Saturday evening. The crowd went euphoric when Beyonce came on the stage at the MMRDA Grounds in Bandra, an upscale suburb, even as pyrotechnics and laser special effects enveloped her glittering white and red costume. Her famed 10-member all-woman band was accompanied by a couple of men this time. As with any rock concert, the 15,000-plus crowds danced, jumped, sang and enjoyed to their hearts content as she belted out her evergreen number like No, No, No, No, Bills, Bills, Bills, Dangerously in Love and others. The open-air venue with a 40-foot covered stage was packed almost to capacity. The 10-time Grammy Award winner American pop star arrived here from Ethiopia Friday night as part of her The Beyonce Experience - 2007 World Tour. Lasting two hours, the Beyonce concert was organised by the Royal Challenge in partnership with the DNA Networks, which had brought singer Shakira to Mumbai March 27.

OSCAR SCREENER COPY OF 'AMERICAN GANGSTER' LEAKED ONLINE.

I don't mind telling you all that last week, I was fortunate enough to 'attend' a very high-quality special screening (in the comforts of my own home...but that's neither here or there) of Denzel Washington's new movie, American Gangster, which opens nationwide on November 2nd. Now, will I go see the film, which is 2.5 hours long when it hits theaters next Friday? Probably not; and that decision isn't just based on my opinion of the movie. I can easily see Wahington garnering another Academy Award win for his portrayal of real-life heroin druglord, Frank Lucas.

An Oscar screener copy of Ridley Scott's American Gangster has been uploaded to a popular bit torrent site and has been downloaded thousands upon thousands of times. And remember, this isn't some cheap bootleg job. Oscar screeners are regular DVD quality. Also, bootleg DVDs of the movie are being sold for $5 apiece in Los Angeles, the Wall Street Journal reported last Friday (10/26). The availability of the movie and others earlier this year, the newspaper commented, "shows that Hollywood's supposedly reinforced preventive measures on piracy aren't as reliable as the industry thought."

It also noted that for Universal the problem is compounded by the fact that the bootleg version of American Gangster appears to be in pristine condition and lacks even the "not-for-distribution" scroll that identifies screeners. John Desmond, an executive with online piracy-research company MediaSentry, told the WSJ that if a bootleg copy is going to be offered online, it's best for the studios if it's of poor quality (like movies camcorded in theaters) since most consumers would rather buy a theater ticket than watch a poor-quality bootleg copy. However, the newspaper noted, pristine copies often can be made from prints that have been sent to postproduction houses.

Diana Ross, the legendary Supreme of all Supremes, attended the Tiffany Blue Book Collection at the Museum of Natural History in New York City on October 27, 2007. Can anyone point out the travesty in these pictures? As if all that unnecessary blush wasn't bad enough, for some reason or another, Ms. Ross took it upon herself to wear red lipstick with a damn purple dress! That shit is not a good look at all! Tracee, come get yo mama, please and thank you kindly!
