    This week I've been hard pressed to find gossip worthwhile to talk about. It's really a slow news week. I guess the Music Industry and Hollywood's A-list have decided to take a break from making themselves look silly. What can you do? So to pass the time until something jumps off, here's some random news on your man R. Kelly.

    Now this is funny. Your man Kells gave a very special rendition of the national anthem during last Saturday's boxing match between Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor in Las Vegas. It was his opportunity before the second act of Hopkins/Taylor, the second-biggest fight of the year, to Marvin Gaye the national anthem. Give it some flavor, show it some love. Cool, right?

    Wrong.

    When the cameras panned out, it showed that he was not in the ring alone -- he had "Steppers" (classically trained urban dancers) in the ring with him, "steppin'" in the name of patriotism with all the finesse of Diddy at the 50 Yard Line steppin' lounge. But that wasn't it. The Pied Piper didn't stop there.

    As he JB Monorailed himself through the lyrics, he then paused. Rode the break in the track, and sang out to the stunned folks in the crowd: "Put your hands together ."

    I couldn't believe it, this negro turned the national anthem into a concert. When it was all over, a sea of boos could be heard following him out of the ring.

    Four words: R. Kelly on that Kryptonite!
