Beyonce Covers Ebony

Beyonce tells Ebony her and Jay-Z stay out of each other’s business dealings. “He was very successful before I met him and I was very successful before I met him. So we have so much respect for each other, and respect for each other artistically. We are very close friends, and I believe he is the ultimate artist and he has the same feelings for me.”

Asked to describe herself as a wife: “I don’t know how to talk about it because I don’t like to talk about it. But I have a great example of a great wife, and that’s my mother. And I have great friends around me that have been married, so I’m lucky to have really good examples. And a great husband.”

She says they are just like any other couple. She is learning to cook and he’s getting over his single-guy habits.

One thing she does to get on his nerve: “I’m a little messy. Oh, yeah. Whenever I’m out in public, I have to be put together. When I get home, I rebel against it and I don’t want to take care of anything. I drop it. I’m relaxed. I don’t have any shoes on. No makeup. My purse is in the kitchen. I think that is most difficult thing for him. He’s very, very organized. I’m extremely organized when I’m working, and I work so much that when I get home I don’t want to think about anything.”

As what Jay-Z does that get on her nerves: She laughs, “I won’t say.”

Asked about a quote from years ago where she said she wanted to retire by age 21. She says she could have retired at that age but now she has no intention of ever retiring: “I’ve worked so hard on my craft, and I will never stop. I will never retire. I love it way too much.”

Who Knew

Tyresse was married? It doesn't matter now because his secret wife is filing for divorce. And according to Necole Bitchie, she's taking his ass to cleaners. Tyrese met Norma Mitchell on a trip to London in 2002 and moved her to the States a year later. They married in 2007 shortly after their daughter was born. This would be after he kicked her ass while she was pregnant. Click here if you don't recall that incident. Anywho, Tyrese currently pays Norma $5,000 a month, plus rent on a $2700 apartment and nearly $800 a month for the lease on her Range Rover. However, Norma who claims her expenses far exceed the $5000 a month he gives her. In the divorce petition Norma says that one outfit for their daughter Shayla costs over $350 and Tyrese prefers that the baby doesn’t wear the same outfit twice. A pair of shoes costs at least $100 and she claims Tyrese does not like to see the baby in scuffed shoes so she has to purchased them frequently. She also spends over $300 on toys, over $1000 on the baby’s jewelry and over $250 on grooming supplies for Shayla a month. Norma also outlined expenses for traveling to Disneyland every other month, the aquarium three times a month, first class flights and expensive hotels since they are now accustomed to these things.
She is requesting that the court orders Tyrese to pay her at least $12,000 a month.

Morgan Freeman Is Being Sued

by the passenger who was riding in the car with him when he had that bad car accident last August. At the time Demaris Meyer was being referred to as Morgan's mistress. Even her own family sold her out telling the National Enquirer that Demaris missed one of her parent's funeral [can't remember if it was her mom's or her dad's] to stay by Morgan's side. And then, to add fuel to the adulterous fire, 4 days after the accident Morgan sped up divorce procedings from his wife of 24 years. Anyway, now Miss Thing claims to have been "only friends" with Morgan even though she admitted she'd been planning to sleep over with him the night of the accident, in a 'friends only' kind of way of course. But now she's suing him because she says she saw Morgan drinking before their ill fated car ride.

Raising Hell

DMX has gotten into more trouble at the Arizona tent city jail where he's serving 90 days after pleading guilty to felony theft, drug possession and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges. If you recall, X was put on a bread and water diet after he refused to work or take his meds.

The Star Says

No Break For Weezy

The handgun found on rapper Lil Wayne's tour bus after a 2007 concert will be allowed as evidence in his upcoming trial for criminal gun possession. The rapper, real name Dwayne Carter, was arrested in July 2007 after a concert at New York's Beacon Theatre when a police officer said she boarded the bus because she smelled marijuana, and then saw the star attempt to hide a gun. Wayne pleaded not guilty and was freed on $70,000 bail, with his lawyers arguing the officer falsely claimed to smell the drug so she could board the bus. New York State Supreme Court Judge Charles Solomon on Tuesday (24Feb09) ordered jury selection to begin immediately following the rapper's U.S. tour, which completes on 12 April (09). Weezy F, 26, will face one count of criminal weapons possession and one charge of criminal possession of a loaded weapon when his trial begins on 20 April (09). According to a spokeswoman at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, he will face a maximum prison sentence of 15 years if convicted.

Sir Charles Gets Jail Time

Charles Barkley is going to have to do 5 days in jail, maybe 10, after pleading guilty to drunken-driving charges in Scottsdale, Ariz. If you recall, Sir Charles got arrested after running a stop sign and refusing to take a breathalizer test once he was pulled over. At the time, CB told cops he was in a hurry to get a blow job, claiming the girl he was going to see had given him the best bj he'd ever had and that he was in a hurry to see her. Charles was sentenced to 10 days in jail -- but will only do five if he completes an alcohol education program. Chuck was also fined $2,000. It is not clear if he will serve his time in Arizona's 'Tent City' jail, where rapper DMX is currently cooling his heels.

Charles took a six-week leave of absence from his basketball analyst job with TNT but returned recently after apologizing for the incident. "I think that a DUI is unacceptable," he stated. "That can't happen and I've got to challenge other people, not just celebrities or jocks. You have to really think before getting behind the wheel after you've been drinking."

Barkley, 45, had a blood-alcohol level of .149 percent, nearly twice the legal limit of .08 percent in Arizona when he was pulled over.

No Bail For Fred

A judge in Chicago has denied bail for an attorney accused of killing New York Knicks’ player Eddy Curry’s ex-girlfriend and her infant daughter.

Fredrick Goings is charged with first-degree murder in the January shooting deaths of 24-year-old Nova Henry and her 10-month-old daughter, Ava.

In court on Monday, prosecutors called the baby Ava Curry Henry and later said they believe she was Curry’s daughter.

Authorities say Goings and Nova Henry were romantically involved and that Goings represented Henry in a paternity case with Curry.

Prosecutors allege Henry tried unsuccessfully to end a romantic relationship with Goings and was disputing a $23,500 legal fee Goings had charged her.

Goings’ attorney, John Lyke, says his client is innocent.

Nova and Eddy's 3-year-old son Noah, who was in his mother's condo at the time of the murders, had identified Goings as the killer.

William Balfour's

lawyer has quit his case because he cannot afford to finance the high-profile case alone. Balfour will be assigned a new public defender.

Balfour has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and one count of home invasion. His attorney had said there is no forensic evidence linking his former client to the killings.

Not Fair

It's not fair how bad Solange got mangled in the press after she passed out at LAX yesterday. I've been following Solange on Twitter for a while and she's been working her ass off doing shows from LA to New York and back, all the while fighting flu like symptoms. Though she'd been complaining of being sick for more than a week, she never once canceled a show and according to her tweets only rescheduled one interview. Anyway, Sol-Angel was on her way home on a NY to LA flight [that's six and half hours], after not having seen her son in over a week, and tweeted that she'd taken a NyQuil pill or two on the plane but still couldn't fall asleep. And it's true, her twits did get a bit loopy after that and then the next tweets were talking about, "Woke up to 8 random people over me, laid out on the floor in baggage claim!" She did not an OD on sizzup like it was reported all over the 'Net. The funniest part though was when she tweeted, "My mom is the best. LOL. She's like ain't nothing wrong with this girl, she need some water and rest... Pull up the car! LOL"

Did I just take up for Solange? I'm getting soft. Somebody kill me.

Chris Brown's Official Statement

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writing under my name are frauds."

Over the weekend Chris' dad also released a statement:

"He's reflecting on this situation. He's very remorseful. He's very concerned about the situation and he wants to make sure that [Rihanna's] okay. This is unfortunate, this stumble, this situation. Hopefully, he will get past it. We all have our shortcomings. We all trip. If you are on his side, you are on his side," he says. "Just because someone trips, if you are truly a fan, you are not going to demonize him instantaneously."

"As a father, I couldn't be more proud … He's the light of my life. I think he's [going to] grow as an individual," he says. "He's going to take from this situation and learn from it."

Rhianna father had something to say too:

"There is some bruising. [But] she will be alright. I think so. At some point, she will speak out. I hope she will stand up for women all over the world."

While Jay was acquitted of the most serious charge against him the jury deadlocked on a charge of reckless manslaughter and he currently faces a retrial on that charge. He also faces trial on four charges related to his alleged attempts to cover up the circumstances of the driver's death. During the trial Jay's wife, Tanya Young Williams, was by his side every day but now she wants to leave his ass claiming "cruel and inhumane treatment". Tonya claims her and Jay don't have sex anymore, yet she found cocaine, condoms and Cialis in his underware drawer. Tanya also says Jay taunts her claiming he goes down on white girls and once lied to her about having stomach cancer and that he faked a suicide attempt. She is seeking a portion of Jayson's assets, their New York home, sole custody of their two kids and spousal support.

Too Soon For Surgery?

Some are suggesting complications Tameka Foster suffered during a 'routine' liposuction are the result of her having surgery too soon after her last pregnancy. Some random NY cosmetic surgeon said,"The general feeling is no abdominal surgery should be performed within eight weeks because of the distension and inflammation of the abdomen/uterus due to pregnancy. [Women] should wait at least three months postpartum before undergoing any type of procedures to the abdomen... They would need to get clearance from their OB/GYN and internist."

According to reports, Tameka, 37, suffered a heart attack while being anesthetized but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage. She was placed into an induced coma before being transferred into an intensive care unit. She is currently recovering in a Sao Paulo Hospital.

I Know

I said I was done with Chris and Rihanna but what I meant was, I was done regurgitating the same story over and over. This is some new shit. Namely, Chris Brown's history of violence. In 2007 police were called to a hotel room in Florida because Chris was fighting with his MOTHER. Hotel guests called security after hearing screaming and the sound of breaking dishes. Security came and escorted Chris' mother out of the room and called the police. His mother did not press charges. Instead, Chris paid the hotel bill and he and his mother checked out. Couple that with the number of Rihanna's friends who have stepped forward saying they've seen bruises on Rihanna in the past and therein you have a pattern.

Rick Ross' Response To 50

Are You Tired Of This Shit Yet?

Cause I know I am. I feel like Bee Gee when he has to read another Beyonce or Naomi Campbell post. But anyway, here goes. Chris Brown got dropped from the 'Got Milk' ad campaign. Rhianna canceled her upcoming 21rst birthday bash and a concert that was scheduled for this Thursday in Indonesia. Radio stations all around the country are pulling CB's records from their play lists. Rihanna is cooperating with the police regarding the assault and told the cops that Chris Brown threatened to kill her and choked her into unconsciousness and sources claim in the 911 call you can hear Rihanna screaming. Chris' pals are saying Rihanna started the fight because CB was getting texts from other chicks, even though they claim Chris and Rihanna had been broken up for weeks and were only together because their respective publicists thought it would be good publicity to be seen together at the Grammy parties. Rihanna's grandmother denied that Rihanna has a broken nose. In an old interview with Giant magazine, Chris Brown said his stepfather used to kick his mother's ass and that it scared him so bad that he used to pee on himself and in today's New York Post they claim Jay Z is fit to be tied and that that is Chris Brown's ass. Now until Chris's mug shot shows up or pictures of Rihanna's bruised up face surface that's all I have to say about this.

Someone in the residential neighborhood where the confrontation took place heard her screams and called.

Sidebar: Rihanna has postponed a sold out concert date scheduled in Malaysia this Friday and Chris has cancelled an appearance at NBA All-Star weekend.

I'm not really into rap beefs, but at least the latest salvo in the 50 Cent / Rick Ross beef is hella funny. Rick and 50 have been going back and forth for a couple of weeks with Rick referring to 50 as 'Curly', a monkey and a parody of Hip Hop. Rick also recorded a 50 Cent diss record called 'Kiss My Pinky Ring.' 50 responded by taking Ross's baby mama shopping and getting her to talk shit about Ross on video, went on a radio station and read an alleged Ross' financial statement claiming it revealed all of Ross' cars are leased and his jewelry fake, plus Fif recorded a diss record called 'Officer Ricky' that made mention of the brief Rick Ross / Foxy Brown hook-up that occurred over the summer, causing Foxy to issue a statement giving 50 '24 hours' to retract the line or she was going to handle him 'Brooklyn Style'. This video is 50's response.

Ne-Yo Explains It All

Charlie Wilson Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer

With the release of his second solo album, 'Uncle Charlie,' less than two weeks away, famed R&B artist Charlie Wilson has announced that he is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.

The 'Yearning For Your Love' singer was diagnosed with the male reproductive system disease last fall and began therapy on Nov. 21. Wilson's sudden diagnosis has lead him to team up with the Prostate Cancer Foundation to help raise awareness and research funds for prostate cancer.

As lead singer for the Gap Band, Charlie Wilson sang on four number one R&B hits: "Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)," "Early in the Morning," "Outstanding," and "Addicted to Your Love" -- as well as the classics "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," "Yearning for Your Love," "Party Train," and "Big Fun." The band had three platinum albums, two gold certificates, and supplied hit singles for the movie soundtracks to Penitentiary III ("Sweeter Than Candy") and the title track Top 20 R&B hit single of Keenon Ivory Wayans' I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. After a long hiatus, Wilson returned in 2000 with Bridging the Gap, issued by Interscope and sporting appearances by Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg (the smooth "Big Pimpin'") and Case (on the duet ballad "Another Man"). The album became an R&B hit and brushed the Top 200 album chart as well. His 2005 LP Charlie, Last Name Wilson hit the Top Ten thanks to the success of the title track and "Magic."

Michael Jordan's Sister Claims Their Father Sexually Abused Her

Book excerpt spotted at Panache Report:

"Please understand that sexual molestation brutally violates a child's mind; destroying all traces of innocence. And more often than not, it takes with it their security and self-worth while imprisoning them in a painful world of silence and guilt."

"When I finally found the courage to let my father's deeds tumble from my lips, I did not know what to expect, but I never in a million years would have guessed that my mother would turn on me. Her words of betrayals did far more damage to me than my father's deeds. They spoke volumes to the fact that she really did not care about me, which my father obviously knew. It is because she was so expressive with her dislike for me that probably made my father know he could get away with violating me."

"It turned out to be true, when he told me that if I ever told, it would be he that my mother believed and me that the family hated."

"My father confessed his actions on the same day that I disclosed them to my mother. And on that frightful day of admission, I watched my mother, looking for a sign, any sign that she cared about me."

"I watched her as she stood in my bedroom citing their decision to send me away. Once again, I became the little girl who was always looking for her mother's signal of affection and approval, but once again there was none!"

"The memory of my father whispering in my ear during the wee hours of the night about the beauty of my body has played over and over in my head for many years. And as if that has not been incapacitating enough by itself, having to comprehend the fact that more often than not, he had just gotten out of the bed he shared with my mother to find his way to my bedroom has just added to the realization of the painful situation."

"It came to injure my mother's womanhood to such a point that she came to think of me as her adversary, with her striking out at me (the other woman) every chance she could, no matter where we were and what the occasion."

Derrick Coleman's Restaurant Evicted

Former Detroit Piston and rumored baby daddy of Flavor of Love winner Deelishis Derrick Coleman's Detroit restaurant 'Sweet Georgia Brown' got evicted from it's Greektown location for non-payment of rents. According to reports, the restaurant owed more than $70,000.00 in back rent and employees complained of bouncing paychecks. When contacted Derrick claimed not to know the restaurant was facing eviction but blamed it on the poor economy saying, "I am most concerned about my valued employees that have been with me from the beginning. I want to assist them in any way possible as my employees depend on me. With the economy, fine dining dollars are just not there -- especially in the City of Detroit. Businesses open and close every day, and it was news to me that Sweet Georgia Brown's would be evicted this morning. The workers are my main concern."

Lisa also testified that Michael let her think he'd bought her a jet, when in reality it was a lease. She also though Michael bought her a Rolls Royce phantom. He even went so far as to present it to her in front of her cast mates on the set of 'All of Us' with a big red bow on it. Turns out it was also leased, and in her name no less. Now Lisa's stuck with a $6,500.00 car note. It was also revealed that Lisa's name is on a $7 million dollar loan, that she claims to have no knowledge of. You can read the whole court transcript here. Lisa's testimony starts on page 73.
