Hear me! 8p - Champagne Show w/Cristal Carrington
www.RockTheFlow.com and www.Im4RadioDC.com

Cristal Carrington will definitely be in the building. Come out and support fellow DMV Personalities, DJs and Artists.

On Monday, January 25th, 2010 Elite DC Magazine will pay homage to the “Best in the DMV”. Festivities will begin at 7 pm at the new popular venue Recess. Expect to see special guests and a live performance by MTV’s “Making the Band’s” DeAngelo Redman and 368 Music Group’s Phil Ade. This will also serve as an industry networking event, as there will be many party promoters, artists, managers, radio personalities and socialites in the building.

What makes Elite DC’s “Best of the DMV” different from a lot of award shows? The nominees and even winners are chosen by your own peers. In December 2009 Anwaa Kong (Publisher of Elite DC Magazine) opened the voting up to nominate who you thought the “Best of the DMV” was and then in early January 2010 after all of the nominations were tallied, the categories were posted and the voting process began to vote for the actual winner in a particular category.

Recess is located at 727 15th St. NW, Washington, DC 20005. This event is complimentary, but you must RSVP by Monday, Jan 24th, 2010 by noon at www.bestofthedmv.com.

Those my folks! For all my southern folks - y'ALL know what I mean!

and "Where"

Entrepreneurs and Cash Money CEOs Bryan "Baby" and Ronald "Slim" Williams are moving their skills to a new venture in Bronald Oil & Gas, an independent company centered on identifying and using gas and oil reserves.
Bronald Oil & Gas are using several locations to develop oil and gas outlets, such as Osage County, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and unidentified Central America sites.
The Williams brothers have issued a mission statement which lists four key initiatives which they believe will be instrumental in developing oil and gas energy production in the 21st century:
Implementing proven and new cost-effective technologies to profitably recover oil and gas and extend the product life of existing reserves
Forming strategic alliances with other operators to leverage their respective experience and strengths on development
Forming partnerships with service, equipment and technology companies. By partnering with such companies, some of our fields may be designated as “testing ground” for new and developing technologies.
Building a strong investor and financial partner base by assembling and offering low to moderate risk (relative to the industry) recompletion and developmental drilling opportunities, as well as more risky exploration and development opportunities.
Bronald is seeking to work with government and private investors in these efforts while adhering to regulations that will benefit the environment.
“Bronald is committed to working cooperatively with governments and private enterprise to recover energy from known oil and gas reserves throughout North and Central America in an environmentally friendly manner,” the company states on its new website. “Bronald intends to utilize both historically successful technologies and means, as well as new innovations and technology, to recover energy resources in both and economic and environmentally efficient manner. Bronald is committed to preserving the environment, promoting worker safety and maximizing the potential output of various oil and gas assets.”
Those interested in joining Bronald Oil as investors can contact the company via the website http://bronaldoil.com/about.php

Some Inspiring words from Kevin Liles... Liked it so much, I had to post it today!


Its 2010 and I dare we say the resolution thing again? I say forget the resolution, let's treat this next decade as your chance to star in your own movie "The Revolution"! Quiet on the set…Lights, Camera, Action.

Are you in control of your destiny or are you just another pawn on the chess board of life or maybe an extra in someone else’s blockbuster movie.

I was recently on a plane with one of my good friends and they responded, Kev, "All of the above", when I posed these very questions. Truth be told, in many ways I don’t disagree. You see we should play different roles for the people we love. Some need our supportive role. Some need our inspirational energy and most importantly all need for us to be truth sayers and faith prayers. But at the end of the day, we all want to be free, so bet your life I’ve chosen to take control of me. So Quiet on My set…Lights, Camera, Action.

Making the most of your life starts with you. It's time for you to direct your own movie. 2009 should have given you every reason to "Press Reset" and stop being an extra in someone else's film. Again, Quiet on the set…Lights, Camera, Action. But before you start directing, have you written your script? Have you screened your cast? What roles are permanent, what roles are just supporting members or actors/actresses, people of the past? Sequel, prequel or independent film? The great thing about your life movie is the choice is yours again. Some people get written in, some people get written out. Sometimes pre-production takes way to long, sometimes we say forget it, I’m going to do without. The choice is yours.

Another decade is upon us and I’m tired of seeing the same old people, doing the same old things. Just because you're comfortable or everybody knows your name. Where is the risk or innovation? The uncomfortable feeling and the pain? What got you to where you are in the first place was something different from the same?

So, Quiet on Your set…Lights, Camera, Action! Your job is not your movie, it is just another scene on your set. Don’t forget, your friends and foes are just characters on the set that you direct. Your family keeps you grounded in a way, but never should they limit your scope or creativity on who, what, when and is your next shoot day. Ask my friend Norman Lear, What made "Good Times", good times or inspired Alex Haley’s "Roots"? Why Spike Lee said “Do The Right Thing” against all the hate. Why it took Denzel Washington and Oprah to show us our first “Great Debate”. Tyler Perry created his own lane and never let there be doubt. Why some chose to show America the beautiful, he chose to show our America without. Without the glitz, glamour, fame or money. He chose to show family first and preferred rainy days, before they got sunny. No blockbuster budget needed, just everyday honesty and truth. You see a play could make for a great movie if the director is afforded the opportunity to get his "Foot Loose". Showing those who didn’t believe at first, that sometimes we are really our worst, enemy that is.

Not willing to step out on faith. Yeah, we all should have had our “August Rush” discovering something that was truly meant to be. "Krush Groove", "Cadillac Records" or simply the "Dream Girls" that came in three.

So, get inspired young America, lets show the world what we got from India to China, to South Africa and Haiti.... it's now our time to plot.

So Quiet on Your set...Lights, Camera, Action!

There's another "Invictus" or "Slumdog Millionaire" movie that has not been made, there’s even "Seven Pounds", a "Blindside", or an "Avatar" and shows like "Apprentice" and/or "Page". My partner James Dubose said, "Reality, Scripted or a docu-series, whatever it is...Make It Happen"… It’s 2010 Quiet on Your set, I'm calling for Lights, Camera, Action!!

God Bless Hip Hop and God Bless Young America.

Jay-Z may be one of the most powerful entertainers on earth, but the 40-year-old rap mogul recently lost a court dispute with a restaurant in New Castle, England.
The rap mogul, who raked an estimated $122 million dollars combined with the earnings of wife Beyonce last year, sued celebrity chef Terry Miller, over the use of the word “Rockafella,” the namesake of Miller’s eatery.
The dispute entered the courts in 2006, when Jay-Z claimed that the name would confuse fans into thinking Miller’s business was associated with his Roc-A-Fella Records empire.
Miller, 51, launched his restaurant with the proceeds he earned from winning $250,000 on a cooking reality show titled Hell's Kitchen.
A court ruled in favor of Miller and gave him granted him the exclusive trademark and the right to use the name in the UK.
This is not the first time a popular celebrity has lost the rights to a name in the United Kingdom.
In 2007, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs was banned from using the moniker “Diddy” in the UK, after losing a court battle to Richard “Diddy” Dearborn, who claimed the rap mogul was interfering with his trademark rights in the UK.

Twista - Bedrock Remix

Omarion thinks he's a better dancer than Chris Breezy. Listen to O on a radio interview and then tell me what you think.



Who's Better - Omarion or Breezy???

Rihanna is gracing the cover of W Magazine and showing a more beautiful side of herself, versus the last time we saw her in pics - bruised and battered.

She looks flawless, showing her edgy, yet feminine demeanor. Definitely a great look for the Umbrella singer.

Kudos!

For All My R & B and Neo-Soul Headz!

Danger is in fact Danger... This is pretty sad - I hope that the father of the baby is waaaay more stable than Danger. This is rediculous!

According to TMZ:
For the Love of Ray J” star Monica Danger has lost custody of her newborn baby — just weeks after she was placed on a psychiatric hold over an incident involving the child.

A rep for Monica confirmed that L.A. Child Protective Services placed the baby girl in the custody of her father last week.

We’re told Monica is handling the situation surprisingly well — this photo was taken at a Los Angeles courthouse shortly after a hearing regarding the case.

DEUCE DOUBLE - GET ON

why?

Because I said so!

Rumor has it that Tiger Woods has a sex tape that is being shopped around. When it surfaces the net, cause it will surface - WE WILL BRING IT TO YOU!!! FOR SURE!

In the meantime, here's a reenactment of Tiger Woods doing one of his many girlfriends.

So, apparently, Rihanna met her boyfriend Matt Kemp on Match.com. Is this factual??? Well here's a spoof of the type of ad Matt Kemp put out for Rihanna.

Enjoy!

Last night was super cool. Got the opportunity to meet up with some great up-and-coming artist like Philade (bottom pic) and the headliners - Fly Gypsy. See some pics here and listen in to the Fly Gypsy track "Reasons" feat. Kanye West. This track comes from the Vodka and Rum mixtape.

Listen to The Champagne Show tonight (Saturday, January 9th at 8pm EST) to hear more cuts off this hot mixtape.





Shouts out to the artist Von, who also performed...Kudos dude!

Fly Gypsy's album Change For A Dollar is in stores NOW: See & Hear them on www.flygypsy.com

Shanell, Ne-Yo and Lil Wayne on a track called "Welcome to the other side" - How do I feel about it? It's poppin for a techno song. I just have to keep reminding myself who's on the track and then I kinda don't like it.

ALL I'M SAYIN IS: WHEN I'M AT THE PARTY - TARDY I HOPE - I WILL BE JAMMIN TO THIS JOINT

HEAR IT HERE!

It's OFFICIAL - Gilbert Arenas, The Washington Wizard has been suspended from the NBA indefinitely. Wow! All this over a few unloaded guns huh? Well I can see the point of David Stern (The Commissioner) who has made the mandate. My Question Is: Gilbert? Why did you have the guns in the locker room in the first place? Did you not learn enough from Plaxico Burris (that the respective leagues WILL fire you for gun violations?)

Understandably, Gilbert has been going through major stress lately - with the allegations of his fiancé Laura Govan cheating with Shaq and the onset of the season - that would make anyone tote around guns! I think!

ALL I'M SAYIN IS: Please, Please, Please Commissioner - FREE GILBERT ARENAS - He is a small handful of players that actually help the Wizards Win! We need him! Have Mercy - Pretty Please (With Sugar On Top!)

Must be nice........
Definitely pays to be a friend of Shaq! See the Rolls Royce Phantom that Shaq brought Lebron James "Straight Up" for his 25th b-day. Love that!

Tiger Woods....the latest ladies man (at least the headlines will tell you that) has been seen gracing the cover of Vanity Fair (Feb. 2010 edition). I must say, Tiger has a great bod but...you fill in the rest.

P.S. - This photoshoot was taken prior to the scandal but Vanity Fair decided to run it anyway. Guess they aren't afraid of backlash. They're Vanity Fair, they can do that!

Call me Tiger for your exclusive interivew - No need to go on Oprah, you can come right to the Champagne Show.

I'm sorry but this horrible. Why do you have 3 background singers AND your track playing and I'm still disgusted??? Why is that?

Diddy: Step yo game up and get her vocal lessons! lol.

It's late y'ALL I'm just playing, but for real though.

Ya mans and mine - Donell Jones will be LIVE on the AIR w/Cristal Carrington tomorrow, January 2, 2009 at 8pm on www.IM4RadioDC.com - You do not want to miss this interview!

Tune In: 8pm EST - WWW.IM4RADIODC.COM - THE CHAMPAGNE SHOW W/CRISTAL CARRINGTON
