Dating A Crazy Person December 18, 2008
By The Fly Guy
There’s a word that frequently gets tossed about (particularly when it comes to love and relationships) without out any real explanation for what it actually means. That word is (drum roll please) … crazy. We’ve all used it:
“I should have known that she was crazy” …. Or, “Why didn’t you tell me that he was crazy.”
And on and on it goes. So today, I thought we’d take some time to clearly define exactly what makes someone crazy. I’ll start…
1. She may be crazy if she shows up at your house uninvited, and stands at the door knocking for a half hour without knowing if you’re actually there.
2. He may be crazy if he always wants to stay on the phone with you while you are out with your friends.
3. She may be crazy if she creates a secret online identity and starts emailing your exs and other women that she thinks you might be dealing with.
Now it’s your turn. What makes someone crazy in your dating world?

Ginuwine’s R&B comeback is receiving a significant assist from former collaborator Timbaland and Dirty South rap titan Bun B, reports Allhiphop.com.
All three are collaborating on the singer’s forthcoming CD “The New Beginning,” which will be released via Notifi Records, with distribution through Asylum. The effort will be Ginuwine’s sixth studio album and first release in four years.

Also lending production talent are Bryan Michael Cox and Warren “Oak” Felder, who is responsible for Chris Brown’s latest single, “Superhuman” featuring Keri Hilson.

TRACY MORGAN TAKES IN ‘ROOMMATES’ December 18, 2008

30 Rock” actor Tracy Morgan will star in and produce “Freshman Roommates,” a comedy feature inspired by the ubiquitous e-mail scams purporting to be sent by a Nigerian prince looking for help in accessing his fortune.
The film for Montecito and Paramount Pictures asks the question what if one of the emails isn’t a scam. The story kicks off when a young man answers one such email during a drunken stupor. Soon thereafter, the spoiled son of a deposed African dictator (Morgan) shows up at his door, looking to secure his inheritance.
TJ Miller (“Cloverfield”) will co-star in the film, which was written as a starring vehicle for Morgan by standup veterans John Mulaney and Nick Kroll, reports Variety.
Morgan is producing via his Street Life banner. The actor most recently appeared in the Sony comedy “First Sunday” and lends his voice to the Disney CGI picture “G-Force,” which opens July 24.
VICK MAY MOVE TO HALFWAY HOUSE IN JAN December 18, 2008

Jailed NFL star Michael Vick could be moved from a federal prison in the Midwest to a Virginia halfway house by Jan. 20, one of his attorneys told a federal bankruptcy judge Tuesday.
The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback is serving a 23-month prison term in Leavenworth, Kan., for financing a dogfighting ring and is scheduled to be released from federal custody around July 20.
Last month, Vick also pleaded guilty to a state dogfighting charge, avoiding more prison time. The case’s resolution also cleared the way for his early release from prison and possible transition into a halfway house.
Vick’s camp says his long-distance absence has complicated his bankruptcy proceedings in Virginia, so they are working to get him moved to the state, said Michael Blumenthal, one of Vick’s bankruptcy attorneys.
Conversely, the bankruptcy case might complicate plans for Vick’s transfer, reports the Associated Press. U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Frank Santoro ordered that paperwork must be completed to ensure Vick’s appearance at a bankruptcy hearing set for Jan. 30 in Newport News. That paperwork could take weeks to process and could delay the halfway house program, Blumenthal said.
Blumenthal on Tuesday asked Santoro to postpone the hearing by a week, which would improve the chances of Vick being transferred before his required appearance in bankruptcy court. Santoro refused.
“Mr. Vick came into this court voluntarily,” the judge said. “I am not going to try to schedule around what may or may not be the convenience of Mr. Vick.”
Santoro also rejected a financial disclosure statement Vick filed in the bankruptcy case and ordered him to submit a new one by Jan. 5. Major creditors had objected to the statement, saying it lacked sufficient detail about his finances and failed to back up his statement that he believes he will resume his NFL career after his release.
Santoro scheduled a new hearing on the disclosure statement for Jan. 30. He ordered Vick to appear that same day for a hearing on whether a trustee should be appointed to take control of his assets.
