Coolio

“CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP” WAS A BAD IDEA FOR COOLIO

Celebrity Wife Swap usually makes the participants look like slightly misguided but well-meaning and likeable people at the end. That’s not what happened on this Tuesday’s episode featuring Mark McGrath and “Gangster’s Paradise” rapper Coolio. McGrath proved himself to be an overzealous, indulgent, but caring father. Coolio was exposed as a totally self-absorbed, incommunicative, posturing jerk. He was selfish, lazy, and seemed to care only about appearing macho and cool – and to hell with everyone else. His live-in girlfriend had two jobs and three kids and did ALL the work around the house. He never lifted a finger – or cracked a smile. This is a man who has six kids with 4 women and probably pays no attention to any of them. (At least one is in jail.) By the end of this episode Coolio had lost his girlfriend and most of his fans…(To think we used to LIKE him!) (Above: Coolio, ex-girlfriend Mimi, and her 3 kids)

COOLIO: “I’M THE BLACK CHARLIE SHEEN” (BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR?)

Even Charlie Sheen never put on a sloppy public display of insanity like Coolio did in Minneapolis. According to our gossip pal CJ at the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the rapper appeared at the Lounge ($15 at the door) where he embarrassed himself with a drunken, incoherent sexual tirade. The club owner said Coolio forgot the words to his hit “Gangsta’s Paradise” and announced “I am the black Charlie Sheen.“ He then proceeded to proposition women in the audience in obscenely unprintable terms. After he was busted with crack cocaine at LAX in 2009, Coolio was sentenced to 18 months in rehab. Even more alarming than his behavior is his hair style. We didn’t know he was bald on top.
