WWE Diva's Stalker To Stay Away For 3 Years!
WWE diva Maryse Ouellet, who grew up in New Brunswick, Canada before moving to Montreal, Quebec has recently been having some stalker issues. The former Diva's Champion has said that she fears for her life after receiving increasingly terrifying letters, phone calls, and texts on her personal cell phone from a man named Lee Silber.
The diva has said that she really began to worry when Silber called her and left a voicemail on her phone saying that he was going to meet her in L.A. (where she currently lives when she's not on the road) and take her to heaven with him. This began to worry the WWE about the safety of one of their star divas.
Maryse was not allowed to perform in any house shows (shows that are not televised) while this was going on and the WWE had increased security around Maryse as well as the arena's where she would be attending for a televised show of RAW. Since then she has missed a couple shows due to having to appear in court for the restraining order which she originally asked for it to be a lifetime restraining order but the judge granted her three years.
You won't be catching Maryse in the ring anytime soon due to having to get surgery for an abdominal hernia, but as she has shown before in the past, when she returns, you can guarantee it will be a very big, very entertaining one!
Be sure to check Maryse out on YouTube, her skits are quite funny and for a fairly new diva she can definitely kick some butt! You can also follow her on Twitter @maryse0uellet and myself @MattyxBlanco
Until next time, Au Revoir!

Lil' Kim/Nicki Minaj Beef
Hey guys, it's me again. As I promised yesterday, this post will be on the Lil' Kim/Nicki Minaj situation that has been going on for the past couple years now. I definitely think that this should be addressed before I get started on any other posts that are rumbling around inside my head because I can't seem to let this topic go to the back burners at all.
So for the people who don't know about this situation, let me explain a little bit on it for you so you can keep up. Lil' Kim is a female rap artist who has been making music since the early 90's and is a multi-platinum award winning artist. Nicki Minaj has just recently entered the music industry with the help of Lil' Wayne.
Now as for how this drama started, before Minaj entered the music industry mainstream she had remade a few of Lil' Kim's songs, while at the same time throwing disses at her subliminally. I have heard these songs and had no trouble picking up these shots. After Minaj had made it mainstream with the help of her record label Cash Money, she was later added into a song with Cash Money C.E.O. Birdman and Lil' Kim. The song was called "Grindin' Makin' Money". There were big plans on this song being a single on Birdman's album and having a video shot for it as well as promotion that the two females were working together. Later on, Lil' Kim was removed from the record. Now around this time when people seen Nicki Minaj, what they seen was her dressing like Lil' Kim. After being removed from the song, and having Nicki Minaj "swagger-jacking her style" as they call it, Lil' Kim paid it a bit of attention. All Kim ever said she wanted was for Minaj to pay homage to her, because clearly she looked up to her and wanted to be like her. And then again, something else arose. Minaj was now continuing to subliminally bust shots at Kim. So needless to say, Kim took a bit more notice and decided it was time she said something.
So to finish explaining what exactly has happened since then, Minaj has continued to bust her shots at Kim and has yet to be an original artists, continuing to steal what other female rappers have already done, at the same time dissing the other females besides Kim. Lil' Kim has gone on to make a mixtape entitled "Black Friday" which was inspired by Minaj's debut album "Pink Friday". The single released from Kim's mixtape was also titled "Black Friday" where she basically explains that she can hold her own and that she doesn't have to steal what other people have done to make it in the industry, that she paved the way for the females rappers after her which all have agreed to having Kim as an icon. Female rap artist Trina has gone so far as to say that Lil' Kim "is a rap legend" which again was agreed upon by many in the music industry by both women and men.
Lil' Kim is now currently working on her 5th studio album as well as getting ready to release her book which will be about the time that she spent in prison (she got out on my birthday by the way). And as for Nicki Minaj, I honestly don't know or care haha. Sorry, Garbaj.
Anyways, if you know of this situation please leave a comment. Also know you can buy Lil' Kim's albums "Hard Core", "Notorious K.I.M.", "La Bella Mafia", and "The Naked Truth" as well as her mixtape "Ms. G.O.A.T." at any music store and you can purchase "Black Friday: The Mixtape" on paypal directly from Lil' Kim. Nicki Minaj's album "Pink Friday" can also be purchased at any music store.
You can also follow Lil' Kim on Twitter @LilKim and myself at @MattyxBlanco
Until tomorrow, bye bloggers!

Overlooked Ex-Pussycat Doll Finally Shines Through!
Hey guys, I decided to move my blog to blogger.com due to the fact that no one really had access to my old blog. Anyways, to start right off with what I titled this post as, I thought it'd be nice to bring the attention of you all to this very talented, newly solo artist: Melody Thornton.
Melody Thornton, former member of the American pop music all-girl group The Pussycat Dolls has definitely shown the world she has talent within the group. Being the Doll to get the crowd really tearing the roof off any arena they attended, she was able to show us all that she does in fact have talent. How much talent? Well, the Pussycat Dolls didn't really show us how much exactly, usually used in the background and to help the lead singer Nicole Scherzinger sound better, this Doll has been extremely overlooked. Much to the mistake of Pussycat Cat Doll founder Robin Antin.
Melody Thornton has started on her road to her solo career after being removed from the Pussycat Dolls group. This in my mind was a huge mistake for the group but a huge up for Melody. Her first song entitled "Love Gun" was leaked on the internet shortly after the song was recorded and from what I gathered on the song was greatly accepted in the music industry. It has a very different feel from the Pussycat Dolls stuff we have been hearing from her for the past couple years which is nice, kind of brings back the feel of the 1970's-1980's era. It's very different and many people may not really feel comfortable moving from their typical music genre, but I am getting everyone listening to this girl and so far nothing but great reviews.
Melody has now released her first official single entitled "Sweet Vendetta" which has been greatly welcomed by the industry and again has a similar feel to it as Love Gun. Melody Thornton has a very raw, strong voice which is nice because you don't usually hear many people in the music industry nowadays that can actually sing anymore. Too much computerization going on nowadays. But anyways, I love this girl and really think you should give this girl a listen.
Before I go, if you like you can follow me on Twitter @MattyxBlanco and also feel free to leave comments on this and any of my future posts! My next post is going to be on the Lil' Kim/Nicki Minaj thing that's going on, and in that case I am very strongly opinionated so, check back for that post later on in the week guys! Also you can follow Melody Thornton on Twitter as well @MelodyThornton
Be sure to support this girl and tell your friends about her if you enjoy her music. Both songs can be found on youtube and are available on iTunes for purchase.
Bye for now fellow bloggers!
