Surprise! The Jewelry Man makes jewelry on Saturdays you know. I'm like Dick Chaney with a Tech-nine: I'll light your life up, with jewelry that is. Here's a funny:

In "I'm not looking to soft-shoe and juggle watermelons" news, the big homey Terrance Howard has refused to perform the catchy rap song It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp, from his movie Hustle & Flow at this year's Oscars. Even though the song has been nominated for best original song Howard said, "Damn that."

And although Howard delivers the rhymes in the film and on the soundtrack album, the best-actor nominee says he has been out of practice too long to perform it on stage in front of tens of millions of TV viewers on Oscar night March 5.

Oh really? Let me see you spin this one Mr. Fried, Died and Laid to the Side.

Here's Terrance Howard to USA Today on why he can't perform It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp: No, we don't have time in the schedule to work all that stuff out. It took me seven months to find DJay and find that voice. I don't think I could give it the full service that I gave it in the film.

Sounds believable right? Well if Terrance Howard doesn't perform the song EbenGregory, who will?

Pimp will be performed by the Memphis-based trio Three 6 Mafia - Jordan Houston (Juicy J), Cedric Coleman (Crunchy Black) and Paul Beauregard (DJ Paul) - you know, Triple 6, the rappers that the wrote the song for the movie.

Here's the thing, they're causing a stir among rap fans as the first hip-hop group to perform their own song in the Oscars' 78-year history. Here's the other thing, can you imagine how awkward it's gonna be when that aristocratic audience wearing the stuffy tuxedos get a taste of Memphis' finest? Here's the last thing, critics of the Howard are upset that Terrence won't perform the song at the show since the audience will be predominately white and he seemingly doesn't want to "shuck and jive" for the camera.

Personally, I could care less. I just give away jewelry. And since you're looking for jewelry.

Here's some second hand jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Terrence Howard refusing to perform It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp at the Oscars: The only thing worse than a man you can't control is a man you can.
