Lil Wayne's New Job in the Joint

http://wonderwall.msn.com/#wallState=8__/music/lil-waynes-prison-job-on-suicide-watch-for-other-inmates-1546369.story

Ok, above is the link to the story that I found through msn.com discussing Lil Wayne's new job while he's serving his year long prison sentence in jail. Apparently, his new job is to keep an eye on the prisoners who are placed on suicide watch. I wanna know if that job is available to any well-behaving inmate who resides at Riker's Island in New York or only the famous ones? What does he do to keep the potential suicide victims from taking the plunge? Perform a live rendition of "A Mille?" Also, I've been giving this situation a lot of thought (I am a huge Lil Wayne fan...no joke...I'm gangsta) I feel like there have been a lot of songs recently released during his incarceration in the clink, out on the radio, never before heard. Did they let him have his own recording studio in his cell? Or do they have one in prison that they let him use if he has good behavior? I wonder if people mess with him at all because he's famous and because he's Lil Wayne. He is no one I would mess with; he has been shot twice after all.

Either or, I'm glad he's found something to keep him busy and pass his time while in the pen. As long as we keep getting that new music and they don't make him cute those beautiful long dreads of his, I'll be happy. FREE WEEZY!

Also, below is a link to youtube.com where you can see, in parts, the VH1 episode of Lil Wayne "Behind the Music." I HIGHLY recommend watching it. It's amaziiiiing!! I watch it before I fall asleep every night. (Not really, just kidding.....) Also, if you are interested or get the chance, download Lil Wayne's mix tape "No Ceilings." It's a little dated, nothing new, but it's still awesome. (Damn, Weezy should give me a job as a PR rep!)

Ricky Martin Comes Out of the Closet

In recent celebrity news, Ricky Martin openly admitted on his blog that he is, in fact, gay. I'm not quite sure why everyone is acting so surprised. I mean, the guy was in Menudo for crying out loud. No straight man can shake his hips like he did in his "Livin La Vida Loca" music video. I think he came out of the closet at an odd time, but for good personal reasons, stating he did it to be true to his children, who he fathered through a surrogate. (Again, here's your sign.) Also, he needed to come out when he was ready to share that part of himself with the world when he was ready, if ever. I personally don't think it's any of the public's business what a person's sexuality is. It doesn't make me like his music any less or more. I loved "Livin La Vida Loca" back in my middle school days, and I'll still shake my butt to it at Joe's 8th grade dance night if given the chance. Plus, if anything, that scene with the candle wax is still unforgettable and talked about. Although, I will conclude my little speal by saying, my sister now owes me ten dollars from our bet from eight years ago.

Here's a link to an article from ABC discussing Martin's announcement:
