With two performances in the United States recently, Mr. Vegas showed his appeal in two key and vastly different age and income groups, one is the coveted demographic of Hispanic under 17 teenyboppers and the other is that of the loyal over 30 Jamaican reggae-dancehall lovers. The performances came back-to-back in New York and showed the incredible currency and continued appeal of Mr. Vegas after 10 years in the business.

Performing on Tuesday night, June 30 at the East Manor club in Queens, Vegas gave a dizzying performance in front of a screaming crowd of 1,500 Hispanic teenagers, many of them not more than 16 years old. With songs such as the Billboard chart-burner Heads High, Pull Up, Hot Wuk and Hot Gal No Fight Over Man he had the teenagers in a literal frenzy throughout most of the performance, each song provoking a crescendo of screams. Security guards had to prevent some over-enthusiastic girls from jumping onstage to do a booty dance-off during the Hot Wuk segment.

Some even tried to shed their clothing and had to be restrained from
doing so and escorted out of the club by security personnel. Mr. Vegas has always had an incredible appeal with the Hispanic psychographic, and has appeared on several Reggaeton mixtapes, especially after his Pull Up song inspired Pitbull to score a major US chart hit with Culo which has a similar melody.

When Flossing King, Flippa Mafia, took to the stage at the Platinum Banquet Hall in Toronto, Canada two weekends ago, he delivered a still-talked-about performance and left fans wanting more … and more. And, what's more significant, Flippa was the only act on the bill.

Flippa, who rose to prominence in the dancehall late last year, is undoubtedly enjoying an exceptional run, and one which he is definitely capitalizing on.

The King of Floss as he is known, scored number one last year with the hit single Dem Yah & Dem Yah, and when he performed this song for fans during his 20-minute stint on stage, it was clear that the deejay had cemented his place in dancehall history.

Among the other songs from his ever-growing repertoire which he performed were When You Floss, The Girls Done Like Me and, naturally, the highly controversial Unfinished House, which is one of the most played songs in the dancehall just now.

It may have come as a surprise to some that Diana Ross was mentioned in Michael Jackson's will as a secondary caregiver to his three children, but her inclusion was not unexpected to those who had tracked their longstanding relationship, dating back to Jackson's early childhood.

In his will, Jackson specified that if his mother Katherine Jackson, his first choice to become guardian for his three young children, died before he did, then he named Ross to take custody of the kids.

Omitted from the will was Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, the mother of his two older children.

Jackson's three children, Michael Joseph Jr., 12; Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, 11; and Prince Michael Jackson II, 7, known as Blanket, have been staying with their grandmother Katherine at the family compound in Encino, Calif., since Jackson's death last Thursday.

Let me just get straight to the point I'm a 23 year old young girl seeing a soon to be 48 year old man. We have been going strong for eight years now he's the guy who took away my virginity at the age 15, he was 40 at da time. But the sex isn't so good now. I'm thinking of ending it.

Wat do u think Mr. Proppafix?

Dear,
At 15 yrs old, you should not have been having sex and worse, this 40-yr-old man should have known better than to be having sex with you. However, your relationship has been continuing and you are now an adult - so ask yourself why you were in this relationship in the first place. Compare the good times you have had and all the things he has done and continues to do for you against just the sex not being good. Also, ask yourself if the sex life is deteriorating because you are no longer as interested as you used to be. I would not suggest that you leave a man just because of the sex. I would encourage you to "get back to basics" with him. Tell him all the things that he used to do to excite you, to make you enjoy sex and want to have more sex, start to "try out" new, exciting ways and places to have sex. Be creative, be adventurous which might help to put the spice back in your sex life.

There is also the fact that there may be trouble in the future as you are just 23 yrs old. In another 10 yrs when you would have reached your sexual prime, he will be almost 60 yrs old but with the help of sex enhancing drugs, it could still work if you are still interested then as I know men that are way into their 70s still having an active sex life. Good luck and all the best.

All the best- this is my advice young lady - tek it or leave it.

Are you having an issue that you can't resolve by yourself? Need some advice? Send your emails to mr.proppafix@gmail.com

Reggae and Dancehall artiste Konshens has reportedly pulled out of the SUMFEST 09 line-up! This drastic decision was made due to several overseas engagements he has to fulfill in Europe - such as the promotion of an album done by himself and his older brother Delus.

Apparently, he made a commitment from November (2008) that he will return to Europe for the promotion of the album titled "Modern Revolution" which was released by Irievibrations records from Austria. A very disturbed and almost angry Konshens, said that his hands were tied and there was nothing he could do as it's not a "money issue" but more so an issue of standing by ones word.

"I gave them my word and it's an issue involving both me and my brother Delus, so I can't think selfishly though it will do some harm to my solo career. I apologise to everyone that was looking forward to seeing me there, but mi aggo deh round fi a while so no worry unnu self", he also went on to say that he thinks it’s going to be one of the best Sumfest and regrets not being able to take part.

"Mi sorry mi aggo miss Toni Braxton star, and mi know Tarrus aggo bun it up, especially wid di album about to drop, and it maad.
He closed by again extending apologies and thanking his growing fan base for the love they have been showing him.
