Check out the NEW $100 Bills!! Start Circulating TODAY! [pics]

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 09:00 PM PDT



It's been a long time in the making but the U.S. Currency is getting a MAKEOVER, more specifically the $100 BILL!!



The new $100 bill, with an array of high-tech features designed to thwart counterfeiters, will get its coming out party on Tuesday, partial government shutdown or not.

The Federal Reserve, which has not been affected by the shutdown, will have armored trucks rolling from its regional banks around the country headed to banks, savings and loans and other financial institutions with the new C-notes.

The bills took more than a decade to develop and the introduction was plagued by production problems that set back the rollout by 2½ years. But officials say the problems have now been fixed.

Some bank customers could start seeing the new bills by Tuesday afternoon depending on how close their bank is to a regional Fed facility.

"We have 3.5 billion of these notes which we think will be more than ample to meet domestic and international demands," said Sonja Danburg, program manager for U.S. currency education at the Fed.



The bill redesign, the first for the $100 bill since March 1996, will still have Benjamin Franklin on the front and Philadelphia's Independence Hall on the back. It will also have a number of new features that will definitely turn heads.


There is a disappearing Liberty Bell in an ink well and a bright blue three-dimensional security ribbon with images that move in the opposite direction from the way the bill is being tilted.

"The 3-D security ribbon is magic. It is made up of hundreds of thousands of micro-lenses in each note," said Larry Felix, the director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. "This is the most complex note the United States has ever produced."

The $100 bill is the last bill to get a make-over in a process that began in 2003 with the $20 bill. The government redesigned the greenbacks with subtle colors and other security features to make it harder for counterfeiters. The $100 bill, which is the most commonly counterfeited note outside of the United States, was redesigned with even more complex security features.

But the government ran into troubles when 1 billion of the first bills were found in 2010 to have unwanted creases. There was later a problem with ink smearing that further delayed introduction of the new notes, which were initially scheduled to be introduced in February 2011. Felix said the bureau is now confident it has resolved the various production issues.

#ChristopherCruz Biker CHARGED in SUV Biker 'Gang' Assault SPEAKS! Says it's not HIS FAULT! [video]

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 08:12 PM PDT





The 28-year-old biker accused of starting a bloody encounter between a group of bikers and an SUV driver on a New York highway says he does not feel responsible for the attack.

Christopher Cruz, a car wash worker, was captured on tape cutting off a Range Rover driven by Alexian Lien on the West Side Highway in Manhattan last month. Lien, driving with his wife and 2-year-old in the car, was eventually pulled out of his car and beaten by other motorcyclists traveling with Cruz, police said.

"I never had intentions to slow him down or cause any type of problems," Cruz told ABC News' Dan Harris in his first sit-down interview. "I don't think I feel responsible."

#MariahCarey ENLISTS #JermaineDupri as her MANAGER!!!? [details]

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:34 PM PDT




In LAWD WHAT IS SHE THINKING NEWS, siren, MARIAH CAREY has enlisted Jermaine Dupri as her MANAGER!!!! OH MY!!

 In a PRESS RELEASE the RELATIONSHIP between JD & MC is MAPPED OUT:


"A multi-talented artist of Mariah's caliber should be doing everything imaginable. I'm sure others have said this but not the way I intend to do it. For me, it's about the execution," said JD, who produced hits including "We Belong Together" and "Always Be My Baby."

Mariah added, "We have a bond that surpasses music. I am super excited about our merger because we have so many innovative ideas that I know will come to fruition."



NICK CANNON, you need to STEP IN and make sure your wife knows what she is doing. Does JD have the SKILLS to manage an artist like MARIAH!!?? I mean look at his TRACK RECORD: His restaurant---CLOSED, him homes CLOSE TO forCLOSED, his record label: NO ARTISTS of any CALIBER except Da Brat and no DISTRIBUTOR, His CLUB-CLOSED! His Social Media SITE--IS IT STILL UP AND RUNNING? I mean REALLY MARIAH, do you think this is a WISE DECISION?

When he was 'handling' Janet Jackson at Def Jam, did he make any HITS for the ICON!!?? We see HOW THAT ENDED.

 I am not sure this is a WISE MOVE. Sure they've made a SLEW of CHART TOPPERS, but MANAGEMENT is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT BALL GAME!!! HMMMM... IF she LIKES it WE LOVE it. Hopefully she knows what she is doing, but this doesn't look like it's going to END WELL....

Did you miss #MileyCyrus on #SNL! Watch it HERE!! MUST SEE! [full video]

IT'S MILEY MONDAY!!! AND what better way to KICK IT OFF then to DROP OFF Miley's KICK-ASS GIG on 'Saturday Night Live'!!!  Many critics wish to pan Miley's appearance on the show, but I thought she was GREAT!

Miley was very insightful at times. comedic and was willing to even POKE FUN at herself in some sketches.  She DEFINITELY has a KNACK for COMEDY.   THERE WAS NO TWERKING! Cyrus addressed it BRIEFLY during her opening monologue:
"Now that white people are doing it, it seems kind of lame," Cyrus said.
  Miley was BOTH the musical guest as well as the HOST and she tried to steer clear of the CONTROVERSY in her musical numbers, dressing a bit more CONSERVATIVELY than in past performances..but she did offer up a BARREL full of laughs as Hillary Clinton and Michelle Bachmann!

 If you don't believe me, check out the FULL SHOW HERE!!!

S/O to ddotomen for the EXCLUSIVES!

New Music: #ParisHilton: 'Good Time' feat. #LilWayne [audio]

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 11:27 AM PDT



It actually happened, just like Lil' Wayne said--PARIS HILTON drops her 1st single on Young Money/Cash Money Records!!

And it's pretty much what we expected, but you be the JUDGE...



It's NOT HORRIBLE, it's pretty much in the LANE of where things are going in ELECTRONIC/DANCE music--a driving beat, a 'cool' verse from a RAPPER and there you go!!!!


I am sure this will RACE UP the iTunes charts!  You can't blame Cash Money for diversifying their ROSTER!  It makes CENTS...and DOLLARS TOO!
