Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Jennifer Hudson sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow for the Wizard of Oz 70^th anniversary showing in Central Park last night.

Diddy Says

"I guess the things that used to thrill me don't thrill me so much anymore.
Intimacy is more important to me than sleeping with hot chicks. I don't even know if I really savored every menage a trois I had. I don't want to do it all over again."

You should be honored by my lateness. That I would even show up to this fake shit

It's not the chicken it's the principal, Smokey. According to rumor, Kanye's latest tantrum was thrown backstage at a benefit concert for rapper Common's Common Ground foundation. They say when Kanye arrived backstage and saw other people eating chicken, he loudly demanded to know, "Why wasn't I offered chicken? You want me to perform for free, and everyone is eating... why am I not eating?" When a server informed 'Ye it's because he hadn't asked for any, and subsequently brought him a plate, they say your boy took one bite and threw the rest in the trash!

Chris Brown's New Single

LisaRaye Denies Rev Al

LisaRaye and Rev. Al Sharpton had been photographed at several events together and rumors swept the Internet [read: Black entertainment blogs] that they were dating. Well, LisaRaye wants you to know that the good reverend does not have enough money to date her is not her new man. According to her reps, the reason they've been showing up together is because LisaRaye's foundation, Radiant Jewels [<--awards scholarships to young girls], is involved with Al Sharpton, Newt Gringrich and Education Secretary Arne Duncan's White House Education Tour. "Every time you see LisaRaye with some person, don't assume that she's dating them," her rep says. "There's a bigger picture to what she's doing."

?uestlove Got Jokes

?uestlove from the Roots stole a page from Swizz Beat's estranged wife Mashonda's attention whoring book and posted an open letter to Stevie Wonder accusing him of breaking up his family and of not having the guts to speak to him about it. ?uest copied Mashonda's letter word for word except at the end where Mashonda says, "This is not a publicity stunt, I don't have a record coming out." ?uest ends his letter by plugging his new cd declaring, "This is a publicity stunt, I do have a record coming out in February called How I Got Over."

Here's ?uest's Tweet:

On Sunday 27th September 2009, @questlove said:

After having a great evening with my band and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @_steviewonder twit page. I've never reached out to him on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I've reached out to him many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any husband would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet SW, my wife @auntesther introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call her my wife, until she is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to him (SW), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what he might be (only) hearing, I am still married to my wife, living with her and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my seed.

I was a fan of SW's 70s genius streak, we are both signed to Universal Records (he Motown and me Def Jam) and I always checked up on his projects since i was a youngin. I sang his songs and admired him for creating Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You) and Rocket Love, I would never deny him, his talent. I believed in him until I found out he was possibly sleeping with my wife @auntesther. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.

Well, either Jaime was lying or dude is a Dr. Jekyll/ Mr. Hyde type because Jai just got a restraining order against dude claiming he kicked her ass and dragged her through some glass! Jaime also claims one time she was feeding their four month old son in the back seat of the car and crazy babydaddy dude pulled the car over, jumped in the back seat and tried to push Jaimee out the car and even threatened to "steal" their son. Under the restraining order dude is required to stay 100 feet away from both Jaime and their child.

Mashonda vows to Re-Tweet her diatribe everyday until she gets a response.


On Saturday 26th September 2009, @MashondaLoyal said:

After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. I've never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I've reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.

I was a fan of AK's last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.

Already I can hear some of you saying " why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats broken". Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.

My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.

If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create.
Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you would've handled things more carefully. I'm not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice. I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it now

This is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we don't have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!

I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into what's real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the "people", this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well.

I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you don't understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong.

If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because I'm not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised.

To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot.

Stay blessed and lets work this thing out with respect and dignity.

With good behavior, the earliest Plax can be released is June 6, 2011.

Last Night VH1 Taped a Salute to Def Jam

for the VH1 Hip Hop Honors and everybody was there except for a few glaring omissions. Namely Jay Z, nor any of his affiliates [read: Kanye West] and LL Cool J. The first two are easily explainable. Jay Z is currently overseas promoting his new cd 'The Blueprint 3' and Kanye West just may not be ready to do any televised appearances so soon after his last episode, but LL? You know there's some juicy gossip behind that snub. Anyway, stalking Twitter last night I heard the long standing fued between Ja Rule and DMX was squashed with a man hug, that Foxy Brown and Faboulous were not getting along during rehearsal and that Lyor Cohen gave a scathing backhand to Bad Boy and Death Row while comparing them to Def Jam.

Beyonce's Ex Speaks

This dude used to date Beyonce back in the day and for slow gossip day's sake, here's what he had to say about it:


SG: Hi Lyndell, thanks for taking this time out to talk with us.

LL: No problem.

SG: Now, we have heard many rumours surrounding your relationship with Beyonce and Im hoping you can clear some of them up for us. Firstly, what are you doing with yourself at the moment?

LL: Well, I am currently still living in Houston and working as a Chef. I am extremely passionate about my job and I love what I do. I have a good family and good friends so I couldnt ask for anything more than that. Life is good!

SG: Glad to hear that. How did you meet Beyonce?

LL: We were very young in our teens. From the same area in Houston. We knew eachother a long time. We were very close and very good friends. (silence)

SG: Ok, Define friends.

LL: (laughs) We would go out together, I would take her to the movies or we would eat out. Normal things teenage kids do. It was "puppy" love.

SG: So you were in love with Beyonce?

LL: Love is a strong word for a teenage relationship but we were very close and I cared ALOT about her. I still do.

SG: Are the rumours true that you got Beyonce pregnant and she had to have an abortion?

LL: You know, when I heard this rumour I was really upset by it. Unfortunately, at the time I was not able to speak on it and people were allowing the speculation to go around. Beyonce as far as I know did not have an abortion.

SG: So you and Beyonce did have a sexual relationship?

LL: No comment

SG: (laughs) Ok I think you answered that already. When you say you were not able to speak on things, what do you mean by that?

LL: I watched Destiny's Child grow, I knew all the girls and I saw them progress. I was there when they got their first deal, when they rehersed. I was a close member to the family even though some people didnt approve of me being there. The DC Empire looking back now was very cleverly orchestrated and every member of the team was under a microscope. Whether that was on a personal or working relationship. Anyone close to those girls, espeically Beyonce at that influencial time in her life was a threat. It was all about Focus, Focus, Focus. Apparently, boys dont equal focus which I kind of understand.

SG: Who were some people?

LL: Im still not allowed to say. But trust me there was and still is.

SG: You sound slightly bitter about the situation.

LL: I am slightly. I am sure if other people do not get involved Beyonce and I would still probably be together. At least be in contact.

SG: So you dont speak to Beyonce anymore?

LL: No, we have not spoken in a long time. I see her family sometimes around Houston but it isn't what it was.

SG: I get the feeling you were warned off.

LL: I dont really want to make any further comment on it.

SG: Ok. When you see Beyonce and how popular she has become how does it make you feel?

LL: Well obviously I am pleased for her. I think she has done amazingly well, just as much as the other girls. I knew LaTavia, LeToya and Kelly. They have all done so great. I wish them nothing but success. They are doing what they thrive off and so am I. I wish them nothing but good health and happiness.

SG: So you dont look at Jay-Z and be like "Oh that could have been me"

LL: (laughs) Not at all. I am in a very happy place in my life.

SG: Well thanks Lyndell for taking the time to explain your side of the story.

LL: No problem. Was great talking to you. Hopefully now I have cleared things up I can carry on living my life in peace. I wish nothing but success for them all.

Now she has to pay.

Right now the fine sits at $10,000.00, less than 3% of the $350,000 she earned by making it to the finals, but more fines and a possible suspension could be in her future. The line judge says she felt threatened after claiming Serena said she would "kill her".

Lil Mama Follows Kanye's Lead

Nobody knows why Lil Mama bum rushed the stage during Jay Z and Alicia Keys' set at The VMAs last night. Well, yes we do. It's because she wouldn't get any attention otherwise and she knows it. But the show must go on right? At first neither Jay nor Alicia acknowledged Lil Stage Crasher, but then Jay took the opportunity to throw shade when he tapped LSC on the leg and told her "You T-Paining right now." Referring to the Hot 97 Summer Jam when he debuted Death of Autotune and T-Pain jumped on the stage unannounced and uninvited.

Usher Takes it Public-er

Usher was spotted in the Dominican Republic with his new piece. Well she's not exactly new. It's the same chick he was spotted with in LA back in August [click here and here]. You know, the one Tameka said, at the time, was a Def Jam exec who was only with Ush, who's with Arista by the way, to help him open a restaurant in LA? Yeah her. Her name is Grace Miguel, she's 40 something and they say she's married. Now just because they're in DR together doesn't mean they're "together together", but who all remembers when those pictures of Usher and Tameka in St. Barts started popping up [click here] while she was married to someone else? I'm just saying.

Free Clears it Up

Jay Z dropped by Ed Lover's radio show the other day and met up with his rumored old Boo, Free of 106 and Park fame. After posting several pictures of herself and Jay in the studio on her Twitter page, Free's followers started asking her about that baby she supposed to had with Jay. If you didn't know, back when Free was on 106, everybody swore up and down she and Jay were getting it in behind Beyonce's back [where there's smoke there's...], and that she'd had or aborted Jay's baby.

Jay Got to Pay

Remember back in February when former New Jersey Net Jayson Williams' wife asked for a divorce because, hell there were too many reasons. Click here and here if you need to catch up. Anyway, the divorce is near final and Jayson has been ordered to pay ex-wifey $200,000.00 dollars. But you wouldn't believe the way Jay Rock showed out in court. They say he was boo hooing and crying real tears while trying to explain to the judge that he's broke as hell. Even though Jay made over $87 million during the course of his NBA career with the Nets, he claims to have spent the last of it paying off mortgages on three homes in South Carolina. Jay told the judge he even had to borrow money to pay tuition for his kids, Tryumph and Whizdom. <---who and who?

Judge did not give a eff and ordered Jay to sell the houses in South Cakalaka and anything else he had worth value and pay his estranged wife her money.

Life has been one big downward spiral for Jay ever since he was convicted of trying to cover up an accidental shooting that cost his limo driver his life. <--Google it.

Jermaine's Vienna Tribute Falling Apart

As you may or may not have heard, Jermaine Jackson is planning a tribute for his late brother Michael in Vienna, Austria. At first several big name acts were attached to the program, Mary J Blige, Chris Brown, Akon, Natalie Cole, Sister Sledge plus Jermaine hinted at a duet between him and Michael. <--huh?

Anyway, after rumblings that none of the other family members were in favor of the tribute or were even going to be there, especially mother Katherine, stars have been dropping out left and right. First Chris Brown cancelled and then Mary J. Insiders are referring to the "tribute' as the Jermaine Jackson Show and citing it as another example of Jermaine doing what's best for Jermaine as opposed to what's best for the family.

Doug E. Fresh Says

about Scientology, "I am the first Hip-Hop artist to do it. Isaac Hayes was a former coworker of Miss Jones and he told her about it. I went with her to one of the classes. Miss Jones stopped going but I continued. I found it fascinating. It changed how I thought. I've learned how to look at things and not judge them but respect them and use it in a way that people understand that I respect them, show them love and respect their reality. Scientology is not a White religion. It is not just for White people. Scientology is not written with disrespect toward God. It doesn't worship something that is evil. It is scientific, mathematical, and spiritual. The Black community has to check it out and see what's there. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but you have to take a look. You may be amazed at what you get."

Chris Brown is Mad at Oprah

During the height of the Chris Brown Rihanna incident Oprah Winfrey did a show about domestic violence where she looked directly into the camera and told Rihanna she needed to get out of her abusive relationship now, "Because if he hit you once he'll hit you again." Now that the dust has settled Chris Brown is speaking up about what an ungratful bitch Oprah is, telling People Magazine in an upcoming issue, "I commend Oprah on being like, 'This (abuse) is a problem', but it was a slap in my face. [<--Freudian slip much?] I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, 'OK, I'm going to help both of these people out.'"

Oprah, having heard about Chris firing shots in her direction, released this statement, "Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school but she takes domestic abuse very seriously. She hopes he gets the counseling he needs.” POW!

Chris Brown Explains His Fight Night Amnesia

"There have been reports on the Internet that I didn't remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight.

That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like 4 or 5 times -- and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.

The first four times – or how ever many times it was - I gave the same answer -- which was that I didn't think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn't fair to Rihanna. The fifth time – or whatever it was – I just misspoke. I was asked, "Do you remember doing it?" and I said, "No."

Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur. And yes, I still can't believe it happened because it is not me or who I am or is what happened like anything I have ever done before.


As I have said several times previously, I am ashamed of and sorry for what happened that night and I wish I could relive that moment and change things, but I can't. I take full responsibility for my actions. What I have to do now is to prove to the world that this was an isolated incident and that is not who I am and I intend to do so by my behavior now and in the future."

Bow Wow Says

"I love Tyra [Banks]. There's something about older women. I've always had a crush on her. I was on her show two years ago and she made me sit on her lap and was rubbing on my arm. I don't know if she was acting, but I was taking that very serious. I feel like she needs a young man in her life."
