Hush, Hush, Pass: Kelis Endorses Ford, Dawn Robinson Needs a Street Team, Justin Timberlake Boxed In
Nas may be busy resurrecting hip hop, but his wife Kelis isn't just sitting at home resting on her milkshake. Mrs. Jones has landed an endorsement deal with Ford Motor Company to promote the new Edge crossover vehicle. Kelis has been brought on board by the car company to appeal to the African-American market in radio, television, and print ads.
She's been a member of groups En Vogue and Lucy Pearl and now Dawn Robinson is moving forward with her solo thing. The sultry singer is planning a tour with her husband Dre Allen to promote both of their projects, and the talented twosome is looking for a street team to go on tour with them. In addition to grinding on the road with Dawn and Dre the three individuals chosen may wind up on the reality television show that the pair will be filming.
This past weekend Justin Timberlake was the host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Viewers were given a special Christmas treat from Timberlake and SNL cast member Andy Samberg. Check out the gift that keeps on giving below:

I AM VERY HESISTANT TO POST THIS, BECAUSE 1 I HAVE NO INTEREST IN FEEDING ANY FURTHER ENERGY INTO DAWN, DRE OR ANYTHING THEIR DOING , ALSO OFTEN TIMES PEOPLE CRITIZE AS A MEANS OF VENTING AND IT COMES OFF IN A WAY THAT IS OFTEN NEGATIVE AND THATS ALL. EVENSTILL I AM GOING TO WRITE THESE TRUTHS FOR THE PUBLIC TO READ. I RECENTLY RESPONDED TO DRE AND DAWN AS THEY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN PUTTING TOGETHER A STREET. I WAS ONE OF APRROXIMATLY 5 PEOPLE ON BOARD THEIR SO CALLED TOUR BUS. WE LITERALLY "SLAVED" DAY AND NIGHT SELLING RECORDS FOR DAWN AND DRE . THEY USED THE MONEY FOR THINGS LIKE BUS , PAYMENTS ON THE RV THAT WAS LEASED TO THEM, PAINTING THE BUS , CDS, AND LETS NOT FORGET STRIP CLUBS. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE FOOD ON MANY OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED WERE FRUSTRATED BUT LOVED DAWN AND DRE , BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN LED TO BELIEVE THAT WE WERE ALL IN IT TOGETHER AND THEY FIGHTING TOWARD SUCCESS AS FAMILY. DRE AND DAWN WOULD BARELY GET OFF THE BUS TO SELL ANYTHING WHEN JUST THEIR PRESENCE ALONE CAUSED PEOPLE TO GAIN INTEREST IN BUYING. WITH LITTLE OR NO CONSIDERATION THEY SAT ON BUS CRACKING THE WHIP , CHASTIZING ANYONE THAT DID NOT RETURN WITH AT LEAST 100 DOLLARS. IN THE END THE KICKED PEOPLE OF THE RV WHO THEY FELT DID NOT SELL ENOUGH CDS FOR THEM AND LEFT THEM IN THAT VERY CITY WITH NO MONEY OR TRANSPORTATION TO GET HOME. THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WERE LOYAL TO THEM WERE LEFT STRANDED AND HOMELESS AND TO THIS DAY ARE WORKING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE DONE TO THEIR. THEY , (AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING NEGATIVE) TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE DREAMS AND LOYALTY THAT THESE PEOPLE INVESTED INTO THEM. THEY SOLD THEM FALSE PROMISES OF A REALITY SHOW , AND USE THIS CONCEPT TO GET THEM TO SIGN CONTRACTS. EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE MAKING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY AND MADE NOTHING. SOME OF THEM WHO MAY HAVE HAD ACCESS TO THEIR OWN FINANCES EVEN WOULD GIVE DRE MONEY SO THAT THEY COULD GET BASIC THINGS LIKE FOOD AND SHELTER. MEANWHILE DRE AND DAWN REFUSES TO EVEN GIVE THESE PEOPLE REFERENCE AS THEY NOW STRUGGLE TO RE EMPLOY THEMSELVES ELSEWHERE. WITH THAT SAID, PERSONALLY I THINK THESE TRUTH WOULD MAKE A GREAT REALITY SHOW. THE REST IS A RESULT OF THEIR OWN ARROGANCE AND MISGUIDED BEHAVIOR.ALL IN ALL MY IMPRESSION AT FIRST WAS THAT THEY WERE GOOD PEOPLE WITH A GOOD VISION AND I HONESTLY THINK THAT HAD THAT BEEN THE FOCUS MUCH MORE WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, INSTEAD DRE KICKED DAWN OF THE BUS AND GOT INVOLVED WITH HIS "NEW LOVE" , A WOMAN THAT HE MET WHILE WE WERE ON THE ROAD. SO FOR ALL THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH, FOR THOSE THAT SYMPATHIZE WITH THEM AND FOR THOSE WHO HATE THEM, HER IS A BIT OFF TRUTH AS TO PROVIDE TO THE PUBLIC A MUCH MORE WELL ROUNDED PERSPECTIVE.
