THE FACTS
Keyshia Cole and boyfriend Daniel Gibson celebrated the birth of their first son yesterday.

THE SPIN
Congratulations are in order for Keyshia Cole along with boyfriend and Cleveland Cavalier, Daniel “Boobie” Gibson.

Yeah, don’t ask me about “Boobie.” My folks used to call my baby brother “Boom Boom” and for the life of me we never knew why.

In any event, Keyshia reportedly delivered her baby early yesterday. Friend and fellow singer Monica confirmed that Keyshia was in labor but now it’s known that she’s delivered her baby boy.

As for Keyshia’s frame of mind, she’s focused…and ready to start a new life sans the family drama.

Via Freddy O:

The homies Keyshia Cole and Daniel “Boobie” Gibson her fiance had their baby earlier this morning. Keyshia is in good sprits and is so happy its over and the baby is here.

I was told by my sources that she is ready to start a new life and will be taking off a little time for her baby boi. O ya if yall are wondering she is almost done with her new album which might be out in October . The Album tells us everything she had been going threw.

Keyshia and Boobie are with their family in Cleveland, OH.

Hopefully that new album is back to a more soulful and R&B-heavy tip. I thought the last album was alright, but you could tell she was shooting for a more “mainstream” sound.

THE FACTS
Chris Brown offered his thoughts on the Tiger Woods controversy in a recent radio interview.

THE SPIN
When asked about Tiger Woods, Chris Brown told Mojo in the Morning: “My hat goes off to him. I support him. I hope he gets back on the field and does his thing because is the best at it.”

And more specifically, Chris thinks Tiger deserves a second chance.

As he explained:

“I think people always deserve a second chance. I know my fans gave me a second chance and people gave me a second chance. Whatever his personal life is—and I think this goes for me and him—his personal life is his personal life. Nobody has the right to place judgment or make any judgment on somebody else’s personal life when they’re not directly involved with them. He plays golf. That’s his sport, that’s his hobby, that’s his love, that’s what people love him for. They don’t love him for the other stuff that they talk about. Even with me, I do music, I sing songs, I’m an entertainer, I’m a performer. But people make mistakes. I think people have to realize that everybody’s human. The good thing is, if you learn from your mistakes, then that’s a part of life. I think that’s a part of living and learning from mistakes and becoming a better person and growing from situations.”

I agree with the overall sentiment, but this part gets me: “Nobody has the right to place judgment or make any judgment on somebody else’s personal life when they’re not directly involved with them.”

If this came from the mouth of Sade, I’d understand. She’s had some legal trouble in recent years and has been subject to rumors about certain things, but not many talk about it. Why? Because she never opens herself up in that way. She doesn’t offer audiences some goody goody image of herself that she uses as a means to become a celebrity endorser.

Tiger Woods showed off his family. Tiger Woods crafted this “perfect” image of himself, which he used to sell products for companies and serve as a role model to children. His personal behavior conflicted with the professional image he created to make money outside of golfing. Of course people are going to talk about it.

Same for Chris Brown. You can’t be a clean cut pop locker then pop someone in the mouth and expect folks to say, “Oh that’s your business.” Especially if we know who you hit.

Both deserve second chances, and I wish each man well, but is it me or do some celebrities want to have it both ways?

THE FACTS
Michael Vick was offered $1,000,000 to pose in Playgirl magazine.

THE SPIN
If you’re wondering, yes this deal seems as stupid as it reads.

And yet a spokesman for Playgirl confirmed to Life & Style magazine the offer, saying: “I sent the request to Michael Vick on Wednesday, but we haven’t heard back yet. I figured he paid back society for dog fighting, but what about the animals? This way he could donate a large sum to PETA and all he’d have to do is pose for the magazine! It’s kind of a win-win situation!”

I’m confused. If my memory serves me correctly PETA wanted Rocky to bite Vick in the ankles, have Fozzy Bear and Boo Boo body slam him to the ground, and then get Miss Piggy to sit on him. Yet, now all of a sudden the bad blood would go away if Vick strips down? 

But these are the same folks who put the father of Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter’s baby on the cover of publication so I guess as long as they get people talking, they’re good.

I’m sure some of you would love to see Michael Vick naked, but does that even make the slightest bit of sense to you?
