This Really Ain't None Of Your Business But...

Kanye West's mama's house is going into foreclosure. Remember when they were trying to make Kanye responsible for his mother's mortgage even though his name is not on the paperwork? Well that shit didn't fly, so now the bank is foreclosing so they can try to sell the crib to re-coup their loss. The bank is asking for $606,983.43 from the late Dr. West’s estate, which was valued at $150,000.00 when she died.

How Does It Feel Drove DeAngelo Crazy

DeAngelo's former manager, Dominique Trenier, told Spin Magazine, “We couldn’t get through one song before women would start to scream for him to take off something. It wasn’t about the music. All they wanted was for him to take off his clothes.”
The cat calls had an undeniable effect on D’Angelo. “He’d get angry and started breaking shit. The audience thinking, “fuck your art, I wanna see your ass!” made him angry”. For D’Angelo, who, as Trenier puts it, “isn’t a sexy dude” but a “real musician who wears glasses and plays video games,” the objectification appeared to do lasting damage. “I didn’t realize how vulnerable he was or how deep his issues ran. He’s cursed now with fretting over how much of his fan base is because of how he looked as opposed to his music. It took away his confidence, because he’s not convinced why any given fan is supporting him. I feel really guilty, because that was never the intention” Trenier says. “Untitled wasn’t supposed to be his mission statement for Voodoo. I’m glad the video did what it did, but he and I were both disappointed because, to this day, in the general public’s memory, he’s the naked dude.”

It Was Fun While It Lasted

Wyclef Sued By Jacob the Jeweler

Jacob "the Jeweler" Arabov is suing Wyclef Jean for $319,000.00 in unpaid gems that 'Clef bought between March 2002 and January 2006.

Busta on Blast

Myra Panache says: Author Terrance Dean was introduced to Deelishus this past weekend at Gay Pride in Detroit. According to Terrance, she noticed my book and we got to talking about it. She was like, "Oh my God! We have to talk." "No problem," I said.
"Okay, you know I used to date someone in the business, right?" She looks me in my eyes with her gorgeous smile.
I am definitely attracted to her. There is something about Deelishus that makes you feel welcoming. She is really beautiful with soft feminine features and a dynamic smile.
"Well, who are you talking about?" I asked already knowing who she was referring to. I really wanted her to say his name.
"He is a rapper," she says coyly.
I get that she is not going to say his name. So I try a different approach.
"Did he used to have long hair?"
She thinks for a moment and then looks at me shocked. She nods her head and says, "Yeah."
"What do you want to know?" I ask.
"I mean, do you know anything. I heard..." her voice trails off and she looks at me for some indication or confirmation.
"I know some things."
"Oh my gosh!" Deelishus squeals. She puts her hand over her mouth.
"It's no secret. We all know."
"No, no, no," She continues to squeal and backs away from me. She starts laughing. "Are you serious?"
But, before we could continue, one of the hosts of the party jumps between us to get his photo op on. Then a crowd swells around us. She keeps looking over at me and saying, "Terrance, we have to talk. Seriously we have to talk."
I smiled at her and told her, "Yeah, we do." I know she has some things she wants to share with me as well.

Fake Baby Mama Writing A Book

Remember that chick from Georgia who tried to say Chris Rock fathered her son, but DNA tests proved he didn't? That crazy bitch is writing a book and sent out press releases claiming she'll rip the lid off her steamy affair with Chris and about how her life "started crashing down all around her,” until “getting pregnant with Chris’ son saved her life.” She's also contesting the paternity tests and demanding another one be taken in California. Chris's attorney says, “There is a final judgement. This is not Chris Rock’s child. It’s been fully litigated, and that includes DNA testing.”

I am a goon! See! I been arrested! Look at my mug shot! Last week The Smoking Gun revealed Rick Ross as an ex-prison guard, now all of a sudden they're posting his mugshots.

Fox Boogie and Lil Kim are being sued by Simon & Schuster in Manhattan Supreme Court for failing to deliver manuscripts for books they were supposed to have written years ago.

"Both books were long overdue and never delivered," said company spokesman Adam Rothberg.

Lil' Kim, real name Kimberly Jones, signed a deal to write an untitled novel in 2003. The manuscript was supposed to be done by June 30, 2004, but she still hasn't turned one in, despite pocketing a $40,000 advance.

I Don't O U, Like Two Vowels

Fox Boogie got in XXL and blasted Jay Z for not "saving her life". Wanna read it? Here it go [as transcribed by Fresh from C&D]:

“A lot of things have happened over the years between Jay and I,” she says of the man who signed her to a multimillion-dollar deal at Def Jam in 2005, nine years after their classic duet “Ain’t No Nigga” gave him his first radio hit.

“But there’s an unbreakable bond that will never die. 50 wanted me to be part of his team so bad. He was like, ‘Look, I’ll do it with Jay, half and half.’ And, of course, Jay said no. At one point, 50 asked, ‘Why do you have so much loyalty to this Nigga?’ Jay and I have history. There are things that he could have done better, as far as his loyalty to me, and I’m sure I’ve made mistakes that he felt he could’ve prevented.” Foxy chokes up. “When I lost my hearing, Jay gave me the respect to go heal myself. He stuck with me along the way. But there are times when I just really needed him, and it wasn’t even about Foxy Brown and Jay-Z. It was just like, ‘I need you to help me save my life,’ and he just wasn’t there.”

The tears are streaming down her cheeks. “I would never denounce him in public. That’s just how I feel. But I’ve been incarcerated for eight months, and Jay’s been everywhere, and he hasn’t mentioned one thing about, ‘Tell her I love her. Tell her to be strong.’ That broke my heart more than anything. When they sent me to jail, I just knew he would be there-everyone came. But he never showed up… My mother always says, Jay also said this, in the tru life freestyle ‘Inga, when a person shows you who they are, believe them. Been showing me all through the years and you just don’t wanna believe it.’"

Untitled Is Number 1

Nas's untitled cd landed at number 1 on the billboard charts after moving 187,000 units it's first week out, pushing Weezy's double platitum, Da Carter III, into the number 2 spot after 3 weeks in the top stop. And speaking of the chart, 50 Cent and the G-Unit's latest offering T.O.S ain't even in the top ten. Ouch!

Good luck with that, Marques.

50 Suing Taco Bell

50 Cent is suing Taco Bell for planting a fake story about him changing his name for a Taco Bell promotion. According to the suit, Taco Bell parlayed a media stunt into an ad campaign. 50's lawyers are accusing Taco Bell of false advertising by circulating a letter addressed to 50 asking him to "change his name for one day from '50 Cent' to '79 Cent,' '89 Cent' or '99 Cent.' "
"After Taco Bell drafted the letter, it did not send it to [50 Cent]. Instead Taco Bell released it to the national press," his lawyers wrote. The letter was designed to promote the company's "79-89-99 Cent Why Pay More" campaign, while avoiding the multimillion dollar fee the rapper might have charged to use his name, the lawsuit claims.

For £10,000 A Night You Can't Burn A Few Sheets?

Naomi Campbell stayed at the Moscow Ritz Carlton in the £10,000-a-night presidential suite last week and after she checked-out, cleaners found holes burnt in the suite's silk sheets, apparently from cigarettes or candles, according to reports in Moscow.

And check it, when they asked Naomi to pay for the dammage, she refused, telling the staff any damage should be covered by the room bill.

One hotel worker said: 'As soon as they found the burnt sheets, the managers at our hotel rushed back to Naomi's people. 'But she sent back a message saying we were being ridiculous and there was no way she would pay any fee.'

If the Moscow Ritz know like I know, they'll leave Naomi alone before one of their maids gets her ass kicked over a set of sheets.

They Say

Disgraced Olympic track star Marion Jones has asked President Bush to commute her six-month prison sentence for lying to federal agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs and a check-fraud scam.

The Justice Department confirmed Monday that Jones is among hundreds of convicted felons who have applied for presidential pardons or sentence commutations, but would provide no further details. A pardon removes a conviction from someone's record, while a commutation only reduces or eliminates the person's sentence.

Jones was sentenced in January to six months in prison and 400 hours of community service.

No Fine For Boob Flash

The Federal Appeals court tossed out the $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp. leveled by the Federal Communications Commission after Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake bared her boob during the 2004 Superbowl halftime show.

Rick Ross Street Cred Shot

We got another fake ass rapper in our midst, y'all! Last week pictures circulated the Internet claiming to prove drug culture enthusiast rapper, Rick Ross, used to be a prison guard, rumors Ross himself was quick to shoot down, claiming his life and rhymes were 100% real and that the pictures were "photo-shop fakes, created by fake people to entertain fake people". However, indisputable evidence surfaced this week proving the allegations to be true and Ross a big fat liar. The Smoking Gun website, the same site that blew the lid off Akon's fabricated police record, found the employee records and social security number of a one William Leonard Roberts AKA Rick Ross, who was indeed employed as a correctional officer for 18 months in 1995 at a salary of $22,913.54.

Jesse Jackson's Baby's Mama Explains Why Jesse Wants Obama's Nuts

The mother of Jesse Jackson's love child chose the National Enquirer to express her opinion on why Jesse Jackson wants Barack Obama's nuts on a platter. Karin Stanford, who has a 9 year daughter with Rev Jackson[the Rev and Mrs. Jackson have been married for 46 years. Do the math] , says the good Rev made the crack about Obama because he feels guilty about the relationship he has with his love child. The hot mic conversation where Jesse was caught saying he wanted to "cut Barack's nuts out" for "talking down to black people" was in reference to a speech Barack made chastising absentee African-American fathers for not taking responsibility for their children. According to Jesse's former mistress, when Barack said, "We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn't just end at conception", Karin believes, "Somewhere in the back of his mind, Rev Jackson has to acknowledge that he has his own responsibility to his daughter." Karin told The Enquirer, "My daughter Ashley, who is 9 years old, has very little contact with her siblings. And although Jesse takes care of her financially and has a relationship with Ashley, she is still not considered a part of that family. Ashley is not even on anyone's Christmas card list!" Karin goes on to say, "She [Ashley] has met three of the five Jackson children, but it was by accident-we ran into them" she says. "All of the Jackson children have kids of their own and they are Ashely's age. She is their aunt, but they have never met her. And to tell you the truth, even if Jesse took Ashley to see his family, it would have to be a chaperoned visit because I would literally be afraid to leave my baby alone with them. They are so dysfunctional, there is no telling what they would do or say to her."

The boyfriend ended up stabbing Scrappy's ass, but when the police showed up, they found a .38 caliber hand gun, 2 lbs of weed and $8g's in Scrap's car. Why they were searching his car, when he was the "victim" I don't know. But anyway, your boy spent a few hours in jail until he came up with the $1,500 he needed to bond out.

James Brown Auction Disappoints

The James Brown Estate auction, which was expected to fetch anywhere from 1 to 2 million dollars, hauled in a mere $857,688 yesterday with 97% of the items offered sold. A judge cleared the way for the auction after it was bitterly contested by James' former trustees and some of his children, who felt the money should go to James' I Feel Good trust as opposed to paying off the accumulated tax debts and expenses the estate has racked up since James' death on Christmas day 2006. Some of the Brown children are particularly upset because they claim they were told to list items they felt should stay off the auction block but said their lists were ultimately ignored. The children felt certain items should have been saved to create a Graceland type museum for the Godfather of Soul.

Nate Dogg Posts Bail

Hip Hop hook singer Nate Dogg, who suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed earlier this year, has been going through a thang. First it was the stroke thing, which when word first leaked out, was largely dismissed as rumor but turned out to be horribly true. Then in 2006 he got charged with five misdemeanors -- aggravated trespass of a dwelling, battery, annoying telephone calls, dissuading a witness from reporting a crime and violating a protective order from a previous domestic violence incident -- after breaking into a Huntington Beach home where his ex-girlfriend, her new boyfriend and her mother lived. After Nate got in the house, he punched the boyfriend in the face and left. Three of the five charges were eventually dropped, but Nate's ex and her man filed restraining orders against him.

Anyway Nate got arrested a couple of weeks ago for trying to run his current wife off the road, driving with a suspended license and making terrorists threats. So yesterday after his arraignment, Nate posted $100,000.00 bail and was released with a warning to stay away from his wife. Nate is due back in court August 1.

Big Fight Over Death Row

Despite a high profile acquisition of Death Row Records by Global Music Group, the legal woes for the former Hip-Hop giant continues, as venture capitalist Ron Goldberg is suing the new owners for $25 million. Goldberg alleged in Superior Court that the investors he recruited for the acquisition conspired with Global Music Group president Anthony Marotta and closed the deal without his knowledge.

He also names Susan Berg and Reggie Bush of RSB Investment Strategies as parties he recruited for the deal. Global Music Group acquired Death Row Records for $24 million just weeks ago, on June 24. Goldberg further claims that the investors and Marotta used “confidential know-how, data, techniques, and contacts” that Goldberg himself had polished and refined for the deal. Death Row Records was founded in 1991 by Dr. Dre and Marion “Suge” Knight.

Controversy At This Day Concert

Last week all your favorite entertainers and models were in Lagos, Nigeria performing at the ThisDay Music and Fashion Festival to spotlight Nigeria's fast-growing reputation as a cultural destination. Jay Z, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Chris Brown, Fat Joe, Naomi Campbell, Tyson Beckford and Alec Wek, along with tons of local Nigerian music acts and fashion designers were scheduled to make appearances. Unfortunately, the first night the program started a whole five hours late and the fashion show featuring Naomi Campbell and performances by all the local artists had to be cut from the show. Only Rhianna, Jay Z and Usher performed the first night, even though some fans paid as much as $508 for tickets. Anyway, here's some pictures from the event. And if you search You Tube, I'm sure you could find a performance or two.

Natalie Cole Has Hepatitis C

A statement released by Natalie Cole's publicist says the liver disease Hepatitis C, spread through contact with infected blood, was revealed to Natalie during a routine check-up and was likely caused by her excessive drug use in years past. You didn't know Nat "King" Cole's daughter used to be a serious druggie? She wrote all about it in her autobiography, Angel on My Shoulder. And please believe, if they'd had Internet back in the day, Natalie would have been an online star to rival the likes of DMX and Whitney Houston.

but Star Jones has nothing to worry about because all his You Tubes are boring as hell, no gossip material whatsoever. I swear I almost fell asleep during one of them. Sure, his flamenicity is amusing to watch for a few seconds, but other than that...boo. Anyway, we've heard it all before. Quite predictably, Al says he still loves Star and continues to wear his wedding ring, won't discuss the terms of his prenuptial agreement, says his wedding day was the most exciting day of his life, claims he's not gay, and that sadly, he and Star don't talk anymore. Click here to see the footage of him talking about his marriage to Star, but it's a good idea to have your morning coffee first or else you might fall alseep at your keyboard.

But I can only speak on what he meant to me.” Keep the Faith: A Memoir, is scheduled for release August 29th.

Were You There?

I heard Lil Wayne was at club Cirque in Dallas, TX over the weekend, got on stage, set the mic on the floor, rubbed lotion on his body....and walked off the stage. They say the crowd went nuts, booing and demanding their money back...allegedly. And get this, they say the promoter paid Weezy $30,000.00 for the privilege. Can anybody confirm this crazy tale?

Save The Apologies For Your Mama

King Kids Fighting Over Estate

A family dispute over the valuable estates of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King has landed the late couple's children in court, with two of the siblings claming that a third has misappropriated money from their parents's estates. Bernice King and Martin Luther King III charge that, in late June, their brother Dexter improperly transferred "substantial funds" from Bank of America to accounts he controls, according to a Superior Court lawsuit filed yesterday in Fulton County, Georgia. The Bank of America account contains funds from the estate of Coretta Scott King, who died in 2006 at age 78. Bernice King, 45, is administrator of her late mother's estate, while Dexter, 47, is president of the Estate of Martin Luther King Jr. corporation, of which the siblings are all shareholders. The operation of that business is in disarray, with the siblings "deadlocked" in its management, according to the complaint, which charges that the company's assets are "being misapplied or wasted." A copy of the July 10 lawsuit, which was first reported by Courthouse News, can be found below. Dexter King's siblings allege that he "controls" the corporation and has "wrongfully appropriated assets" from the firm "for his own benefit." He also has allegedly refused to provide his brother and sister with "information and documentation concerning the operation, actions and financial affairs of the Corporation to which they are entitled." In 2006, the King corporation, which controls the use of the late civil rights leader's image, sold a private collection of his papers that had been estimated to be worth about $30 million. The material was to have been auctioned by Sotheby's, but was purchased by a coalition of Atlanta civic and business leaders for future display by Morehouse College, King's alma mater.

That's How You Keep Them Quiet

We won't be reading any tell all books from Russell Simmons' ex-Porschla Coleman about her break-up with Russell Simmons, and yes it is over. Gossips say the union ended because Russell is a control freak who kept Porsch on his schedule because he always wanted her with him and didn't let her see her girlfriends while he could do whatever he wanted. They also say she wasn't getting along with his daughters Ming and Aoki. Porschla told the NY Daily News, "I am not prepared to go into detail, but Russell is my best friend. There is no anger on either of our parts. It was a mutual decision. We just decided to be friends, and we're both very happy." She also added that Russ took her furniture shopping for her new apartment, now that she's moving out of his. "It's around the corner" she said, "he helped me pick it out." And by helped her pick it out, she means he paid for it, I'm sure.

Usher On Being Married

“[I'ved learned] Just to be a little more patient. Marriage is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. You have to take your time and be very patient. Sometimes you’ve got to breathe. Step away. Walk away from each other. You’ll drive each other crazy if you’re not considerate of that.”

They Say

Queen Latifah, whose older brother Lance was killed while riding a motorcycle she'd purchased for him in 1992, was vacationing in the Virgin Islands recently, when she lost control of her rented motor bike and went flying.

Glitch In The James Brown Auction

The auctioning of the late James Brown's personal effects has been halted because of a dispute about where the money should go. James' longtime lawyer, Buddy Dallas, and his former road manager, Alford Bradley, say money from the sale should to go to Brown's estate, in contrast to James' will that specified the money go to his 'I Feel Good Trust' to educate poor children. The case will be argued in court on Monday.

We got Barack, we got David Banners and Young Jeezys."We're the voice now. It's no more Jesse. Sorry. Goodbye. You ain't helping nobody in the 'hood. That's the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!"

Yung Berg Don't Want Dark Butts To Buy His Records

At least that's what I got from the asinine comment he made on the radio the other day about dark skin women. Berg, who raps along side Ray J on "Sexy Can I?" says, “I’m kinda racist… I don’t really like dark butts too much… It’s rare that I do dark butts. Like really rare… It’s like, no darker than me. No darker than me. I love the pool test…. If you can be like ‘Yo, baby. I met you in the club. Let’s go back to my house. Jump in the pool exactly like you are.’–And you don’t come looking better wet than you were before you got in the pool then that’s not a good look. Any woman that uses brown gel to set down her baby hair is not poppin."
