22 Feb. 2007 (Sawf News) - Nick Cannon married Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks in Las Vegas last weekend after just three weeks of dating. The couple made a public appearance at the 6th Annual GM Ten Fashion Show.
According to an Us magazine report the pair was staying at Palms Casino Resort Hotel for NBA All-Star Weekend.
Cannon, 26, and Ebanks, 24, met at a Super Bowl weekend party in Miami (04 Feb. 07) and were inseparable since then.
Cannon had earlier dated Grammy nominated singer and actress Christina Milian, but their relationship ended, allegedly, after she discovered secret phone messages from another woman, Kelsey Becker. He briefly dated Paris Hilton's close friend Kim Kardashian but the two split this January. At one point, he was rumored to be dating Lindsay Lohan.
Cannon's publicist, Tracy Nguyen, declined to comment on the wedding.
A source told Us magazine, "The weird thing is when he and Kim Kardashian dated, he said he didn't believe in monogamy!"
Cannon and Ebanks are said to be planning a wedding reception party in L.A. this weekend.
Cannon is the producer and host of MTV's improv comedy show Wild 'N Out which debuted in 2005 and ended in Oct 2006 after completing three seasons. A new sketch comedy show created by Cannon, called Short Circitz will debut in 2007.
Ebanks, British-American supermodel, made her major debut in Victoria's Secret fashion shows and is now officially one of Victoria's Secret angels. She has also modeled for Ralph Lauren, Levi's, Abercrombie & Fitch, Tommy Hilfiger, and Clinique.

Protect our young drivers
The following letter was taken from the Caymanian Compass Thursday 8th February, 2007
Protect our young drivers
I’m just returning home after a two–week vacation off island and was reading the newspapers to get caught up with the news.
I read the Editorial in the 30 January edition of your paper, which dealt with our young drivers speeding and I must say I agree whole heartedly.
Suggestions to help deter these senseless deaths? When a youth is caught speeding, take their license away for a year or two. No questions asked, just automatically relieve them of their dearest treasure: their drivers license.
Also, why can’t Government or the private sector get behind Robert Campbell of Campbell’s Auto and help him complete the Breakers Speedway?
If the youths have a place where they can go and drive in a safe environment and also get good driving education, we’ll see a drastic change on our roads.
Make Drivers Ed a mandatory part of the school curriculum. Classes can take place on weekends at the Speedway.
Something has to be done; our young men are killing themselves off before they can take their place in society. No price is too high in order to save our precious young people....our future.

Keeping It Real Awards
It's here where I will give the viewers/contributors of this blog Real Points (RP). Each month there will be a Mr/Mrs Real Person of the month. At the same time people who fail to keep it real will be given negative points and will have to work extra hard to get back their "realness". As it stands each person has enough realness to post in the blog. But the more Real Points you lose the less worthy your posts will be.

Well I recently got to watch this movie and I must say that it was the biggest piece of trash in movie history. Before I go any further I would like to say that I would like to applaud Frank for making his dream come true and directing his own movie. Ok now that this is out of the way let the realness begin.
There were MANY bad things about this movie and I will only name a few. I will leave it up to you to agree (and in some cases add more) or disagree for whatever reason.
1. The plot..........what was it? I will quote movies.yahoo.com summary of the movie "Two shady businessmen flee to the Caymans to avoid federal prosecution, but their escape ignites a chain reaction that leads a British native to commit a crime that has enormous implications." Really? What was this crime? I assume this British native is Orlando Bloom aka Shy? He really had four parts in this movie. First he sleeps with a darky. Second he gets acid thrown in his face. Third he goes into hiding and as a homo encounter with his "best friend". Lastly he shoots the guy that threw the acid in his face......and the crowd are chanting "Oscar, Oscar Oscar" for his performance.
Plot....Bill Paxton moves to Cayman, his daughter falls for some guy with a piss poor Caymanian accent. They go to a party and get separated. She takes a draw of what seemed to be some seasoned weed. Goes into the bathroom only to have her privacy interrupted by some "gangsta" that wants to take a leak..... They leave the party and the guy gets arrested or booked for something (can't remember). Police hold the daughter and Sonjie takes guy to some well lit laundry mat where another police proceeds to beat him with a baton. Bill Paxton finds his daughter and at the same time finds out his "friend" has set him up (the suspense is awesome in this movie). Bill Paxton goes to jail and his daughter finds the money he's been laundering under her mattress (remember daddy loves you!!)
I think that about sums up the movie less the confusion that you will actually get when you do watch it. So I would suggest you take my summary and tell people you've seen it because you will hate yourself for wasting 98 minutes of your life.
2. The movie jumps around so much that if you dare not pay attention for a second you will be lost. Although now that I think about it, that was probably a marketing strategy. Make sure that when they spend their $10 they'll want to stay rather than leave. I swear to you they must have some soap opera subliminal messages that keep your attention because even while you are watching it you are wanting to pour acid in your eyes but something keeps you from doing so. Then you curse yourself for watching it.
3. How many times have you gone to a house party and found a man with a wicked clean jerk stand outside the gate?
How many times have you seen a gathering (non violent) in Windsor Park's playground?
How many times have you seen those two guys just riding around or walking wasting time in town............ok so that did hold some form of reality?
I've never in my life seen a car on blocks in front of our library, I'm sure you haven't either.
And since when is it bad luck to go fishing on Friday 13th?
There are just too many misconceptions in this movie. Correct me if I'm wrong (there have been times when I have been, but they are few and far between) but didn't the director say that he got of for the movie from his childhood experiences? Riiiiiiiiiiight, I can imagine the hardships of growing up on Maples Rd. I mean had it not been for those blocks (courtesy of Flowers Block factory) I'm sure he would've been hit from all of the random drive bys that happened there.
As I said before I'm happy for him making his dream come true and doing a movie but there is also a saying that says "if you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all". Give me the $300 it took to make this movie and I'll give you a Box Office smash. And for those who said it was a good movie.........may you hang from a tree with a noose made of barbed wire.

Introduction
Greetings I bring from Jah, Holy Emanuele King Selassie the first the second and the third. I was born and bred and in the Cayman Islands and have lived here for over 25 years. As the saying goes time changes everything and things have changed a lot in our Islands. If I'm not mistaken Cayman Brac received its first cruise ship visit a few days ago!! Ok onto the purpose of this blog. There are many things that happen in our islands that we may feel are unnecessary, stupid, bad for our islands or in the rare occasion good. Well I'm here to do what the title says....Keep It Real.
How many times have you listened to the radio or picked up the newspaper and read something and said to you self "man this person is stupid" or "man this is how it should go". There is even the occasion where you would say "yes that's right" but you don't have the confidence to put forth your own suggestion. Well here is your chance to voice your opinion on topics that affect our islands. I will be posting topics that I feel like commenting on but you as visitors to this site will have the opportunity to post your own feelings and other people will have the opportunity to give their opinions on the topic at hand. If you have something on your mind and you want it to be put out to the world email me at keepingitrealky at gmail.com. Please use the @ symbol. I chose not to because spammers can search web pages for email addresses and send you spam.
Although there will be no censoring by me personally, the hosts of the site ultimately can decide if something is defaming ones character or is breaking the rules of the site. Please do not make any personal attacks on anyone..........if done in a tasteful, discrete manner I won't object :)
