Michael Jackson Provided a Voiceover
on The Simpsons - but it remained a secret for 12 years. He voiced a character in a mental institution in the Stark Raving Dad episode, which aired in 1991, but, because of a contractual problem, Jackson had to be credited as John Jay Smith. His contribution to the classic cartoon series remained a rumour among fans until The Simpsons creator Matt Groening confirmed it really was Jackson when the episode was released on DVD in 2003. Berry Gordy Says

"I had no concern about his ability to go to the top. He was like my son. He had warmth, sensitivity and two personalities. Michael was and will remain one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived. When he was not on stage, he was loving, respectful and shy. When he WAS on stage, he was so in charge you would not believe he was the same person. I extend my sympathies to Joe, Katherine and the entire Jackson family. My prayers are with them."

Dennis Wants His Money

Dennis Rodman was supposed to get $20,000 to host a party for 4 hours in Miami and dammit he wants his money. So what if he and his pals ran up a $10,000 drinking tab and left after less than 3 hours? The club, who paid Dennis $12,500 up front, put a stop payment on the $7,500 balance check so Dennis sued their ass..and won. Well, he didn't really "win". The club never responded to Dennis' lawsuit so he got a default judgment and the club gotta pay up. Good luck trying to collect.
Evander Holyfield
is in foreclosure, again. Last June [click here] when Evander went into foreclosure he was able to work out a deal, but your boy is on the ropes again.

Evander's last big payday was in 2003 when he got $5 million dollars for fighting James Toney.
Janet Hubert Says
"Let me explain something to you about Hollywood Negroes. Hollywood negroes are afraid to not eat. Everybody out there is so afraid that they're going to lose that job! And that job and that money supercede e-v-e-r-y, s-i-n-g-l-e thing in life! People in Hollywood, in my opinion, would step on their baby's face for a deal. If their baby is in the way, they will kick that baby out of the way for that money."From Janet's new tell-all book "Perfection is Not a Sitcom Mom", in it she dishes the dirt about how it was Will Smith's fault she got fired from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and how he tried to ruin her's and everybody else's career from the show.

Is Your Ex-Wife Entitled to Your New Wife's Money?
Laila Ali's husband Curtis Conway's ex-wife, Leoria Sanamu Conway, is trying to subpoena Laila Ali's financial records. Leoria believes since her ex-husband Curtis has access to Laila's money, the son she and Curtis have together should have access, too. Leoria wants to know how much money Laila makes a year and be made aware of any inheritance or potential inheritances Laila is entitled to, so she can better determine how much of an increase in child support to request.
Did You Know Usher Wanted a DNA Test
for his youngest son? Me neither till one of Tameka's friends inadvertently told me. Well, not me personally, but one of Tameka's helpful [but not really] friends went running to Radar Online talking about how angry Tameka is over the current smear campaign Usher's camp is running on her. Helpful But Not Really Friend says there is absolutely no truth the the rumors that Tameka and Usher have been separated for a year, and that Tameka did not have a heart attack in Brazil, it was an allergic reaction to the anesthesia, and that Usher did not request a DNA test for Nayvid. Ok friend. Did you see Usher's divorce petition? Usher is the one who said they'd been separated for a year. The news papers in Brazil reported Tameka had the heart attack. So a translation for Helpful But Not Really Friend's double speak is yes, Usher did request a DNA on Nayvid.
Throw This Up and See If It Sticks
Remember when Lil Wayne got busted for coke, weed and ecstasy at the Arizona border? [click here and or here if you missed that] Well, his attorney's brilliant defense strategy is that the drug sniffing dogs who came on Wayne's tour bus and found the dope were not properly trained, therefore the evidence should be thrown out.Yeah. Good luck with that Weezy.

Jill Scott Dumped Her Baby Daddy

Jilly tells Essence.com, "John and I are no longer together. When you have a baby you're dealing with a lot of emotions and I don't know how much of it had to do with us breaking up, but it happens. We definitely love our son and we are co-parenting and working on being friends. It is what it is. I have a lot of support, so I want for nothing as far as that's concerned. I know some might criticize me or the fact that my son is being raised in a single-parent home, but I wasn't raised in a two-parent home and I had a good relationship with my dad. I have hopes for him and I'm sure his father will do his part as well."

Foxy Brown Caught Up In Prison Scandal
There's an investigation going on at Rikers Island regarding certain prisoners getting special treatment. They say Foxy Brown was allowed to put up a sheet across her cell door for privacy, to have make-up, wear Gucci sneakers and Fendi scarves and that when her shoes and scarves got dirty she would get new ones. Insiders also claim Fox got unlimited phone and TV access and that one time she was supposed to do 76 days in solitary confinement for fighting At least Fox wasn't as bad as Remy Ma's man, Papoose. They say when 'Poose gave a rap concert at Rikers back in 2006, he was able to pull strings to get a couple of his friends, who were on high security lock down and not allowed concert privileges, into the show. To repay the jailers for their kindness, 'Poose turned around and flashed gang signs from the stage, sparking a mini riot where two inmates got slashed across their faces with razor blades.
But it's not just rappers getting special treatment on Rikers. This one Jewish guy was allowed to have a Bar Mitzvah for his son inside the jail and male and female guards have been fired for smuggling in scalpels, weed, cell phones and for having sex with prisoners and staging gladiator style fights.

Wanda Scared the Hell Out of Teddy Riley
Last Wednesday RCA Music group held a surprise party for Jaime Foxx to give him his platinum plaques for 'Intuition' and couple of its singles. While Jaime was accepting his plaques and thanking all the people who made it possible, he told a story about the time he tried to give Teddy Riley his demo back in his In Living Color days. Teddy was the featured musical guest that week and the first time Jaime got a chance to talk to Teddy was after he'd just finished a skit involving his character Ugly Wanda. Jaime says he ran up on Teddy dressed as Wanda and was like, "Can you listen to my demo?" And Teddy, looking at this big transvestite was like, "You know, I feel very uncomfortable right now” and walked away. Jaime went on to thank Teddy for blowing him off that day, saying if he'd become a hit singer back then, his career would have been long over by now.

The Club Owner Was Scamming
Mathew Knowles released a statement about Beyonce canceling on that NY club date saying, "The cancellation of the launch party for Beyonce’s “I AM…” tour, first scheduled for this Saturday at M2, was a result of a breach of contract by the promoter. Beyonce never had a contract with the club itself and no one in her camp dealt directly with the venue. The superstar was never scheduled to perform but was to serve as a co-host and introduce singer/songwriter Solange’s performance. Patrons were falsely promised a performance by Beyonce." Well, Club Owner Dude, who had absolutley been advertising a Beyonce show at his club, is going around saying the real problem is Promoter Guy didn't cough up the $200,000 on time so Matt stopped answering their emails, even after Club Owner Dude offered to put up the 200 Gs himself because he'd already invested money and put his club's rep on the line by promoting the event.
Yeah well, E Online got a copy of the agreement and it says expressly says that "the artist" would not give a performance of any kind. Click here and read it for yourself. It's item 1. under the terms of the agreement. So Promoter Guy and Club Owner Dude WERE falsely advertising a Beyonce concert.

How Bout A Groupie Tale?

We went straight upstairs and we got naked with the quickness and all I can say is that Rashid’s body and ass is the TRUTH! His ass and legs were sculpted from clay! While standing he kissed my neck and fingered me from behind. I swear the room felt like it was 100 degrees with the finger play he had going on inside of me. I bent over on the bed and he kissed my back and bit the shit out my ass! He never went down on me since we weren't cool like that if you know what I mean. He kissed and sucked the shit out of my inner thighs. I wanted him to eat me out so bad, but he just sucked on my tits and continued playing the piano inside of me. Common has an average size penis, but he stroked the wetness straight out of me. He actually made love to me, not no gangsta grillz sex, straight slow fucking. He sat on a chair and I rode him for a few minutes when he busted and it was like the energy was really sucked out of him. We took a shower together and kissed till my lips got sore. He pulled on my natural hair till I SCREAMED!!!!!!!!!!! Of course he didn't stay long since we both got what we wanted. He told me that he would call me back for another session. I told him I was going back to my state, and with a quick kiss he promised to hit me up when he was in my state.We messed around on and off over the years and he always claimed he couldn't get enough of my dark chocolate. I had a couple of explicit pics of us, but I destroyed them because I was scared they would get into the wrong hands. I haven't seen Rashid in a while, and I feel it's best that we moved on since I recently got married. I will never let my husband know that I was a rappers jump off, he would go nuts! I think Rashid makes a great boyfriend for Serena because he is the ultimate gentleman. I will always cherish the gifts and the time that we spent together. I wish him nothing but the best. Would I do it again?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........nope, I'm too much in love with my husband and I've packed on the pounds since Common last saw me. He likes his women in shape.
On a scale of 1to 10 he is an 8.5, but his mind is a 10! Brotha got the knowledge! Serena is one lucky woman! She has a real man!

If You Have $200,000

you can hire Beyonce to perform at your venue, but she might not show up. That's the deal with M2 club in NY so they're threatening to sue her ass. M2 contracted Beyonce to perform at their club tommrow night to kick off her North American tour, but Sasha cancelled on them at the last minute saying she didn't have time for a show, but that she would come hang out for an hour instead. M2 was not having it. They say they've already sold tables for thousands of dollars, plus kicked out over 100 grand to rent soundboards, wind machines and lighting and stuff. The club is claiming a “loss of reputation” in addition to the cash spent. The owner was all like, “We had an overwhelming response from our clubgoers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them. If Beyonce cancels and doesn’t give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in nightlife.”

More of Kelis' Business
Yeah so, more of Kelis' financials have been made public from her petition for divorce from Nas and now we know the reason why she needs $80,000 a month from her estranged husband. It's because she only made $21,616.00 a month between November of '08 and April '09 and hasn't toured in over a year, which is how she earns her income. That's nothing compared to what she spends. Kelis says she needs the cash because spends more than $15,000 a month on entertainment, gifts and travel alone, plus $14,861.00 a month on mortgage, and she needs a nanny and money to store stem cells from the baby's umbilical cord to treat any unforeseen illnesses. Add to that, insurance, utility bills, landscaping, dry cleaning and all that other regular stuff and before you know it, you've spent 80 Gs. So the question is, should Kelis' lifestyle have to change because she no longer wants to be married to the person who afforded her that quality of life?
Denied
Chris Brown's efforts to have his trial delayed have been struck down by the California Supreme Court. He and Rihanna will face off in court on Monday.

Just know that Chris' trial is moving forward as scheduled.

Michael Strahan & Nicole Murphy Engaged
Nicole Murphy and Michael Strahan are getting married. Hurray for love! And so what if Nicole got caught cheating on Michael last year with a friend of his. And what does it matter that Michael once placed a high tech tracking device on Nicole's Range Rover that gave him real time updates by text message and was capable of turning off her ignition and locking her out of her car? And who cares that his ex-wife took half his money in the craziest prenuptial agreement known to the NFL, then accused him of being gay and of peeping on her sister getting undressed? All that matters is that they're in love. right?
Remy Ma Writing From Jail

Remy, who's completed a little over a year of her eight prison year sentence, says in part,
"I get a lot of fan mail and everyone asks me how I’m doing? I say fine, the way I see it I never imagined making it this far with my sanity. Not being able to go somewhere when you want, see your family when you want (on many occasions when you need to), can't use the phone, take a shower, wear clothes, or even eat when you want - super aggravating. Whenever, which is almost everyday I get visits, a lot of kids ask for autographs. It’s something that I used to do almost everyday but now it actually feels weird, I really feel like an inmate. And as much as I hate to admit it, I really am an inmate. I mean, it kind of grows on you when certain people go out of there way to make you feel like that.
Everyone in prison isn't innocent but everyone in prison isn't guilty. So whether you end up here on purpose or by accident, the pain you’re feeling is still the same. And I can quote a lot "gangsters” by saying that “I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy…”
Forever Innocent,
Rem

Because I see Chris Brown, some guy and hip hop ingenue Teyanna Taylor.

So how could Yahoo look at this same set of people and label them Rihanna and Kim Porter's son Quincy?
And for your hourly Rihanna dose, they say at that one game when Chris and Rihanna were both there, that Chris kept looking over at Rihanna and at half time went over to where she was sitting but she'd already high tailed it to the owner's lounge and didn't come back until her people let her know he'd left.

Michael Jackson, who probably weighs every bit of 125lbs, has been training with Lou Ferrigno to prepare for his London concert series, but refuses to lift weights because he does not want to bulk up.

Rude Awakening For Nivea
Besides that one Vietnamese chick who had a baby by Lil Wayne late last year, and Lauren London who's set to have Wayne's baby sometime this summer, Nivea, who's also pregnant by Lil Wayne, must have believed they had something exclusive. Nivea let loose on a myspace blog for her alter ego, Randy Watson, lamenting she's "Wanting everyone to know that Shanell (the background slut that sings with lil wayne) is a piece of trash and not to be respected! she smiled in my face all whi –"... Sounds like Wayne banging out his background singer was just one side chick too many for Nivea to put up with. Poor thing.

Fellatio Causes Crash
That's what the headlines are going to read when we find out what Morgan Freeman's passenger was doing to cause him to careen off the road and flip his car last year. You do remember last August when Morgan drove his car into a ditch, don't you [No? Click here for your late pass]? Then you should also recall that there was an unidentified woman That Video of Kim Whitley Slapping Fire Out of Tamala Jones? Fugedaboutit

Tamala confessed to Essence.com that it just another of Yung Joc's publicity stunts. Tam says, "I really have to come clean about this because Kym, who's like my sister, has been catching a lot of flack for this. It is was all a joke. What happened is we ran into Yung Joc in the lobby of our hotel and we were bickering like sisters do but nothing serious and Joc was like y'all are funny like Laverne and Shirley. He ended up going to dinner with us and while we were at dinner he said we should come up with a joke like he had done about DMX and Katt Williams. He thought we should be arguing over him and we were like, 'Uh, no.' So we start up and his boy is taping us in action as we begin ragging on each other and then we were going to tape the second part--the alleged smack--but it never happened. Again, we were just joking around and going to let everyone know it was just a joke. I was like, 'Sure this is good press for you Kym you have "Transformers" coming out soon.' I've never been violent nor has anyone ever been violent towards me. But now, it's gotten out of hand and it's affecting Kym's money because she has a deal with a company and they called her about it. So I want to just set the record straight that we were all just having fun and being silly."

Not a Good Day To Be A Vick
Sucky news for former pro football players Michael and Marcus Vick. After months of trying to trade him with no success, the Atlanta Falcons officially released suspended quarterback Michael Vick from their roster today. Michael has been suspended from the NFL for over a year after being convicted of dog fighting, and though he's since been released from prison, he has yet to be reinstated to NFL. Compounding problems for the brothers Vick is Marcus', who was released from the Miami Dolphins in 2007, violating the terms of his DUI sentence. Marc pleaded guilty in October to driving drunk, eluding a police officer and driving on the wrong side of the road and had been given a suspended sentence. Not sure what he did to violate the terms, but Marc is scheduled for an Aug. 5 hearing on whether or not to revoke his sentence and remand his ass to jail.

Confessions of an Unabashed Gossip Junkie

You know, it ain't gossip if you wait around checking to see if something is true or not right? That's called "The News". So if it's "the news" you're looking for you're in the wong place. If gossip is your secret dirty vice, you should already have this page bookmarked. Now, yesterday it was all over the Internet that Usher filed divorce papers on Tameka. Then today, any and everybody who bothered to check found out no such papers had been filed.

Sandra is relentless when it come to those two. And and Rihanna. And Beyonce. And Obama. And Monica and Tiny. And.. fuck. You know how Sandra is.

Return of the Smack
90's
Settled
Remember when Brandy's mother filed that lawsuit against Kim Kardashian alleging she'd made $120,000 worth of unauthorized charges on the Norwood American Express card? Sonja said Kim had permission to use the card once in 2004, when she was hired as a stylist for Brandy and Ray J, but that the unauthorized charges popped up in 2007, suspiciously or not, after Kim and Ray J's sex tape was released. Anyway, the case was dismissed with prejudice on Monday after a settlement between the two parties was reached.So, is "settlement" legal speak for Kim agreed to pay back the money?

Spotted at Destiny Child the Rumors
Phony Braxton Acquitted
Good news Phony Braxton phans. [<--lame. I know.] Your favorite celebrity impersonator, Trina Johnson-Finn, got aquitted on those fraud charges and released from jail. For those of you just joining us, Trina was hired to impersonate Toni Braxton for a show in Suriname. The only thing is, the promoter billed her as the real Toni and charged up to $53 a ticket. After being pelted with trash and booed off stage, Trina was arressted and jailed in Suriname for 3 months. When officials caught up with the promoter, who had been on the run for weeks, he told them Trina was in on the scam, but later retracted his statment. In the end, the judge ruled he couldn't be sure of Trina's involvement so he let her go. The promoter and his accomplice/girlfriend are expected to go on trial in July."I'm delighted with the judge's decision," Trina told reporters outside the courtroom. "It was hard dealing with the situation knowing I was innocent. But now I just want to go back home and hug my family, my husband. I haven't seen them for so long."

Interesting Email

I work for XXXXXXXXXXXX. I just want to share something with you because maybe you can help by spreading the word.
Mathew made a threat against BET to remove Beyonce from the BET Awards line-up if LeToya were to perform on that same stage that same night. It is sad to say but I think XXXX will win over LeToya [Luckett]'s management because Beyonce is a garantee to bring the ratings up for the show. In business we have to deal with shady politics but this is going too far. All I want is both girls to perform. Not just want or the other. I've talked about it to some LeToya fans about it and now they started a petition (http://twitition.com/nufi6) . Even if BET wouldn't bend over (which I doubt) he would get Beyonce out there at the last minute. He's just trying to intimidate BET. Anyway now you know, deal with this info the best way you can.Please don't reveal my indentity or where I work at.

Mel B Says
"I read about new research that showed 75 per cent of women don't have an orgasm during sex! Oh my God! That amazed me, because having a good sex life is absolutely essential in my opinion. My advice to women who are unfulfilled in the bedroom is to invest in a sex toy. I use a little vibrator called a Pocket Rocket - and it does the trick every time."
Prelude to a Slap
Day before yesterday Yung Joc posted on his Twitter page that Kym Whitley had slapped the shit out of Tamala Jones in a hotel lobby in Miami. Of course I blew it off because this is the same guy who tweeted that DMX and Kat Williams were fighting over lines of coke with a German Shepherd [click here if you missed that]. Joc, realizing he was now branded the proverbial boy who cried wolf, posted this video with the promise to post the actual slap around 12 noon today.
