Sorry for the inconsistent running of this column: I’ve found myself not at home and/or not close to a functioning computer on a couple of recent Sundays. I have a life. Who knew?

The Devolution of Mimi
OK, Mariah. We GET it. You’re hot. You like your body, and you also like showing it off. You’ve never been an artistic giant, but at least your earlier albums had some substance. Now, it’s like, damn. Your songs are lame (how many more times is that DeBarge loop gonna get jacked?) and people are kinda tired of you almost showing the vag. And why T.I.? Justin Timberlake took that boat and sailed with it two years ago, baby.

Pot, Meet Kettle: Otherwise Known As Ne-Yo
Ne-Yo’s a talented dude. His pen game is sharp, his voice is pleasant if not powerhouse, and he’s reverent enough to guys like Michael and Prince without going overboard. He’s also got a personality and a sense of humor, something most of his contemporaries haven’t been able to muster. Witness this interview in which he’s asked several questions, including whether Beyonce or Rihanna is hotter (he’s written huge hits for both artists).
He says that he sees Rihanna as a little sister, and calls her “Bighead” because she has a high forehead.
Cute, yeah. But, damn. Bruh, have you seen your own head lately???
Time to bring the mugshot out again…
It’s also funny that after sheepishly announcing Beyonce the hotter of the two, he apologizes profusely to Jay-Z. Man, Jay’s not president of your label anymore. You don’t have to worry about him pushing your album back.
