Hollywood Is On Fire- Literally!!!

When we say HOTSPOTS, please believe that we do not wish for it to be taken out of context.

Again, checking in to Good Day L.A. to see what Jillian was talking about, we all appeared to have started our day off with a large smoke cloud which appeared to be in the vicinity of Hollywood.

Behold, not only was there a fire this morning, it happened to be at the popular nightspot Basque.

I actually receive flyers each week for events at this location, and it is definitely NOT a good look for the game for this location to burn away.

The re gentrification process in Hollywood Central is in full swing, and the last thing needed is for it to go up in smoke.

Perhaps its simply a clearing away of the old to make room for the new.
For those not quite as familiar with the area, the cross streets of Hollywood & Vine actually act as a center point for many of Hollywood’s historic landmarks as well as traditions and is shrouded in mystery like most of Hollywood due to the large number of paranormal happenings in the area.

We will keep you posted with details as they surface.

To let you in on why this scenario holds special significance to me, below if a video of myself and the crew in action no more than the distance of a football field from the location of discussion.

International Academy Of Digital Arts And Sciences

GALLERYIMG=”no” >
We started off the year of 2008 on a good note, which was to introduce The 16th Branch Of The Academy, clearly stating that
NEW MEDIA EQUALS NEW ESTABLISHMENT
.
http://pimphop.com/2008/01/01/
16th-branch-of-the-academynew-media-new-establishment

This was during the time of the Writers Strike, which actually cost the industry somewhere in the neighborhood of $XBillion Dollars.
Little if any, of the terms which were required to resolve the strike have been discussed, yet interestingly enough, the time of the ending of the strike was in the month of February a few weeks before the Oscars and subsequent after parties.
To add to this scenario, the day of the event was actually a RAINY ONE, which has only happened a few times in the History of the Ceremony which started in 1929 at the Roosevelt Hotel, in Hollywood California (Hollywood Blvd & Orange Street).

Well, moving forward, the NEW ACADEMY and subsequent award know as the WEBBY, is what the COOL KIDS tend to focus their attention and efforts on, and being the
Official Leader Of The COOL KIDS and KING OF NEW MEDIA,
I felt it best to lead you in the right direction.

Pimpin All Over The World? Imagine If It Was TRUE

I love my job!
Today, I thought that it would be good for you to share in some of the types of wonderful submissions that I may receive on a continuous basis.
Now granted, this is actually most likely fictional, and from what I know about the World Wide Web, this is simply a new twist on a popular web con game known as the
NIGERIAN LETTER.
If you have had a chance to look at some of your spam mail, which motivates you to find some form of a filter, you probably have received a note or two regarding someone asking you for assistance with transferring funds to a secure location, from a member of some wealthy and influential African public official, member of a royal family , or perhaps one of their relatives.
Who Knows, it could be B-Rock Obama’s People!
em.jpg

Actually, I know some individuals who hold a unique belief, which is that quite a few of the SPAM NOTICES that you may receive are actually AUTHENTIC, where as a majority of the legit mail that you may receive actually will turn out to be BOGUS.
It can be called the ABSENCE OF TRUTH IN SOCIETY theory, yet whatever it is, it makes for great entertainment in a time where much of what we see and hear tends to be uninteresting and redundant.

So, below you will find a note that I received in my personal email box yesterday, and now the Nigerian Letters appear to come attached with some pictures of the young ladies that are sending the note.

An even deeper thought is that since it has been stated that it ALL comes from Africa anyway, perhaps the thought process which fuels this organization originates from the same source.
Be what it may, I’ll share it with you.

Apple MacBook Air- Cloud Computing Has Come

We have a saying here at your Friendly Neighborhood PimpHop.com that we have been using since the beginning and it is as follows.

PimpHop.com Is NOT Underground,
It’s IN-THE_CLOUDS.

Be careful what you wish for, as you may very well get it.

On the market currently from Steve Jobs and the Apple crew is the device known as the Macbook Air.
It is currently the worlds lightest and thinnest notebook computer to day weighing in at 3 pounds and small enough to place inside of a traditional manila envelope.
It like most of appeals latest devices including the iPhone was created specifically for the Wi-Fi set who need to stay connected with out actually being plugged in to a cable.
This trend with other devices such as Blackberry, PSP, and Sidekick, etc. are apart of a new global initiative known as CLOUD COMPUTING.

How It All Works-
The concepts is actually quite simple and is in effect currently with plenty of end user applications.
It simply entails that instead of having your data stored locally on your computers hard drive, you can simply access the internet and have the actual location of the date reside on an off site server.

In “Less Technical” terms, when you may want to have a look at some of your favorite images for example, you may very well notice that a site such as Photobucket allows you to upload them to your profile and share them with others, which eliminates the need for storing them on your hard drive or perhaps a memory stick or some other form of external storage device.
So if you apply that to other things such as documents or even your email box, you will notice that the only thing needed is some form of a device that connects you to the internet, and if this device has wireless connection abilities, you can access the data from wherever you may be so long as you are in range of a wireless connection to the internet.

The current players in the game include IBM who just recently introduced the machine known as
Blue Cloud

Based in Germany, this supercomputer was constructed to allow massive amounts of data to be stored in a location which is can be accessed with an internet connection, similar to the website that you are viewing now (www.PimpHop.com)

Google Inc. is also currently the leader in super computer technology as it has various data centers scattered around the globe in anticipation of this new initiative for the masses.

Microsoft and Yahoo are also heavy hitters in this arena, which many say is the reason behind Microsoft’s attempt to acquire Yahoo In, in an effort to compete with Google, who has been rumored to be in talks with Apple for a partnership in which Apple will produce the hardware devices, while Google will provide the back end computing infrastructure.

Simply put, all of this is set to HOUSE THE INFORMATION and RESOURCES into a CENTRALIZED location where users with any device that can access the web can gain access without the need of any of their data being stored locally.

So, in closing, once this is initiative is fully operational, which should be within the next five years , a centralized location for Live Entertainment( SHOWGIRLS) would also be an ideal solution, unless some form of technology is introduced which allows for users to experience life as they know it FULLY inside of THE WEB.
Could You Imagine?

See A Fictional Demonstration Below.

Tyra Banks Show-The Subject Of Prostitution

Welcome Back To The Show.
Following my usual routine, which is checking in to Good day L.A. to see what Jillian is talking about, I came across a commercial clip for the Tyra Banks show , and the subject of the day was Escorts and the industry of Prostitution, so I decided to put some time aside and see if I could get educated on the subject.

First and foremost, other notable mainstream publication moguls such as Flynt and Hefner built their bones by speaking and addressing the subject matter of sexual relations in America and the world at large.
Since it has shown to be a working example, I will go ahead and begin to touch on the subject as well. You would expect something of sorts with a name like PimpHop.com now wouldn’t you?

So , with that said, some of the featured guests were Dennis Hof,

owner and founder of the moonlite bunny ranch in the state of Nevada, as well as
Jason Itzler,

who was the owner of the now defunct NY Confedential Upscale Escort Service, and after his subsequent conviction is now the owner of a somewhat popular match making service for wealthy and influential individuals.

Tyra, was in an upbeat and cheerful mood throughout the show, which I can appreciate due to the fact that it is quite a popular trend for Rich Guys to date High Fashion Models, and for all we know, somewhere during the process of time , some form of sexual intercourse could take place between the model and subsequent man of affluence. This of course is all speculation as there is really no way to conclude of those to consenting adults were involved in “THE ACT”.

The show had a primary focus on some of the possible reasons why men hire escorts, the amounts of money they pay for their time, and effects that this type of behavior has on their personal relationships with their significant others.

A name that popped up quite frequently is that of
Eliot Spitzer,

who was recently forced to resign from the office of Governor in the state of New York, when he was caught in the act of soliciting the services of a working woman.

The women in the audience basically desired to know the reasons why certain men find an irresistible need to invest large sums of money and time into the service of PROFESSIONALS.

From my perspective, it would simply show that perhaps like in any other business transaction, the needs of the clients were fulfilled by the service provider, and before we get into the emotional effects of this scenario, which would actually answer why such a question would even exist in the minds of certain people, i can clearly state that I do not condone nor endorse the institution of prostitution as my personal belief is that indivuduals will find a way to hook up with each other through some form of an agreement regardless of any legislation that was written by the hands of a human being.

It brings to the light an interesting phenomenon which shows that in so many cases, the person who is writing the legislation AGAINST the industry of prostitution are some of its most supportive clients, which I would conclude is the reason behind the close interest in the subject matter as Tyra will be conducting another show next week in regards to Prostitutes on their first night on the job.

I actually conducted an interview the one of the young ladies at the Moonlite Bunnyranch brothel a few years back who shared some information with me, which at this time I am not at liberty to share with you.

Dennis Hof and a few of his crew appear to be regular guests on the show, as they are shown to be knowledgeable experts in the industry.
They also had a panel of guests of the show, one of them a moonlite Bunnyranch Regular, and he under anonymity expressed his reasons for frequenting such an establishment, which basically falls under what was stated above. A PLACE WHERE NEEDS ARE SATISFIED.

My tendency to look beneath the surface has led me to address a very interesting trend.
Each and every time I see some literature or television footage in regards to the Sex Industry, the individuals being portrayed as the foremost experts and authority in the industry are of Caucasian or Jewish decent as if those to classes of individuals hold the most knowledge and all others to be educated by them.

The only method that I could imagine that being accurate is if we were to add that the perspective is of the most frequent and active CONSUMERS of that industry, and all that is being stated comes from individuals who are actually past or present clients of the industry.

Jason Itzler, was on the Tyra show, sharing his insider information in regards to how the industry actually functions as his was a
HIGH CLASS
UPSCALE ESCORT

operation, not to be confused with the ordinary stereotypical
Street Hooker operation

and Tyra and the shows producers actually censored his attempts to get a mainstream plug for his latest venture, due to the fact that he was not answering questions in a straightforward fashion, so the agreement was that if he was to share information with the people in the audience in regards to how to tell if a man is receiving services from a working girl, he would then be allowed to promote his business.

Before his recent notoriety and high visibility in regards to the subject of prostitution, he classified himself as the official King Of All Pimps, and interestingly enough, this “KING” found his way into our Myspace Friends list, and you are free to go ahead and give it a look and form your own opinions.
http://www.myspace.com/jasonitzler

We actually had an interview in the works, but it appears that he has renounced the title, due to his new attitude, and venture which is again, and upscale matchmaking service known as DNA DIAMONDS, which we will gladly plug here at PimpHop.com.

He in effect was sure to apologize for his past bad behavior and publicly renounce his title as a Pimp.

Whether its Bullshit or Fertilizer, those of us on this side of The Matrix,are aware that they are two separate names and usages for the same substance, and perhaps the FULL DISCLOSURE was that he was NOT nor has ever been a PIMP in the most official sense as in actuality according to an unwritten code, a PIMP is actually the Significant Other or Life Partner of a Prostitute as he is a rare type of man with the ability to accept the fact that his womans occupation involves her spending her energies with clients to fulfill their needs.

It lead to a long list of scenarios which fall under the title of double standard, as
Dennis Hof, has also laid claim to the title of PimpMaster General, yet only when convenient.

So, my question is in regards to when the term is applied to a African Americans, we are shown some form of a prototypical figure who dresses in bright colored or flamboyant attire, and talks in a other worldly slang vernacular, with a reputation of being abusive towards women?

We then also see some who while APPEARING to poke fun at this character type, wish to spend large sums of money playing dress up at costume balls,

as well as developing and wearing hip and cool clothing labels which allow them to live vicariously through the images that they have in their own minds.
In regards to the WOMEN of the world, who like to play dress up,
my response is
DO YO THANG & Go GETTUM GURLLL, I Am Here To Help YOU!!

The types of attire in the overall institution of prostitution seem to remain constant, and allow some to act on an unmet need that society seems to discourage publicly, which perhaps is a sign of things to come in the near future.

As you can tell, I have plenty to share on the subject matter, and figured that this would be a good time to bring out the intellectual BIG GUNS, and see where it leads.

In closing, I will simply state that it has been stated that Prostitution is said to be
THE WORLDS OLDEST PROFESSION, and with an economy which is showing signs of a RECESSION, which has in the past led to a DEPRESSION, what you are seeing now on many social networking sites and in the world at large in regards to the popular behavior of many young women may be reflections of the collective conscious which point to the statement which Sigmund Freud once made which is
ALL MOTIVATION STEMS FROM AN UNMET NEED.
SOOOO.
Like The Song Says-
“Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused”

Leona Lewis Tops The Charts- Mixed Chick Revolution Is In FULL SWING!

Just like Hannibal Smith from the A -Team used to say,

“I love it when a plan comes together!!”

Just as expected, the Mixed Chick Revolution has been initiated, and is in full effect with a growing momentum as
Leona Lewis has topped the U.S. music charts with her latest release entitled Spirit, making her the first British artist in history to debut at the #1 spot in record sales.
Leona Lewis Billboard Chart Review Link

Interestingly enough, in regards to singles as well as albums, its a stiff competition between the Leona and The Veteran Mariah Carey , with her album E=MC2
and associated singles.

Leona or Mariah??
Ill Just Have BOTH.
Also in the mix interestingly enough is last years American Idol Winner Jordin Sparks, so yes, AGAIN, the Mixed Chick Revolution is in Full Effect.

As usual, I Tuned in to Good Day L.A. this morning to check up one of my favorite ladies, Jillian Barberie, (Its a L.A. Thing).
and interestingly enough, the show had a segment with Terri Seymour,

which is the current and long time girlfriend of Simon Cowell.
They were as usual giving play by play footage of the Idol Series ,which makes perfect sense as both shows are actually apart of the FOX network line up and are high in Nielsen rating reports.
(AGAIN, its a L.A. Thing)
Who was on the mic last night??
Mariah Carey, who interestingly enough was the center of focus for all contestants earlier in the week as they were to sing her songs.

Yet, interestingly enough, Jordin Sparks made her appearance as returning Idol Title winner last week.

So, yes, this is the wave of the future and looking to be the saving grace of the entire Music Industry.

Leona Lewis is scheduled to make her American Idol debut next week, which is sure to generate plenty of attention to the already highly popular series.

And never to be found behind the curve, Mighty Mighty PimpHop.com will go ahead and introduce who is scheduled to be the next young
“MIXED DOMINICAN AMERICAN PIECE” in line.

Her name?
Karina Pasian

MyspaceTV Secures Global Distribution Deal

From Reuters
www.reuters.com

By Kenneth Li

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A company founded by Rupert Murdoch’s daughter will help News Corp’s MySpace distribute Web shows on television and DVDs outside the United States, as the world’s largest social network seeks an audience away from the computer.

The move is a play to make shows such as MySpaceTV’s “Quarterlife” or “Roommates” available outside of the United States, or create localized versions of the shows, said Travis Katz, managing director of MySpace’s international arm.

The partnership with ShineReveille, the distribution arm of Elisabeth Murdoch-founded Shine Group, is one of News Corp’s most ambitious plays to underscore MySpace as a media platform, distinguishing itself from fast-moving rival Facebook.

“Partnering with ShineReveille empowers us to export MySpaceTV content to local TV networks globally — something we’ve never been able to in the past,” Katz said in a phone interview.

Just last week, MySpace announced a deal with three big music companies to start an online music service, seen as a rival to Apple Inc’s popular digital entertainment service iTunes.

Its latest deal comes amid a broad rethinking of the way shows make it onto TV. A prolonged U.S. writers strike forced big media companies to reconsider the time-honored tradition of paying for expensive pilots only to reject many of them.

General Electric Co’s NBC Universal has gone as far as to say it aims largely to avoid the development of pilots.

MySpace’s deal also raises questions on the potential for Web-developed shows on TV. When “Quarterlife,” a show about young adults that originally aired on MySpace, made it to NBC television, the show’s ratings tanked. The TV version combined more than thirty short videos into six hour-long episodes.Despite 5.5 million views on MySpace, its NBC broadcast drew 3.1 million viewers, placing it last among the big U.S. TV networks in its time-slot.

Forrester Research analyst James McQuivey said big media companies have spent years trying to use the Web as a content laboratory, but few, if any, have been successful so far.

“It hasn’t produced bankable shows outside of the Internet, or even on the Internet,” McQuivey said. “If you look at it (Web shows), there’s a good reason why — it’s mostly bad.”

Yet Katz said the migration of Web content to TV was a work in progress that may forge a new model for show production.

The Shine deal, in which the companies will share licensing revenue, gives new generations of budding producers a global platform. “You’re (producers) not just stopping with MySpace,” Katz said. “You’re tapping into a much broader audience.”

MySpace’s first UK-programming co-production deal is with legendary British horror film imprint Hammer Films. “Beyond the Rave,” a feature-length film about vampires and dance music, will air on MySpaceTV on April 17 in four- to five-minute installments.

Shine, renowned for making hit versions of local programs in other regions, brought British comedy “The Office” to the United States. It purchased in February TV production company Reveille, founded by NBC Entertainment Co-Chairman Ben Silverman.

MySpace will retain all Internet rights for its programs globally and all media rights in the United States.
