Beans Explains His Beef with Jay Z and Damon Dash



Solange Tweets about Leaving Interscope


Rihanna's First Interview Since "The Incident"

Jay Z responds to Beans

The other day Beanie Sigel released a single dissing his former label boss Jay Z. Yesterday Jay addressed Beanie's gripes at a press conference in Montreal:

“Beanie Sigel, to be honest and you can look it up, just to be honest…was driving two Bentleys. I don’t know how. Its impossible to drive two cars at the same time. With his momma in the sticks, selling 800,000. I don’t know what more you can do for somebody. What people choose to do when they obtain that type of success, at some point you gotta look in the mirror and look at yourself. Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label and a clothing line…and never went platinum. Ever. I don’t know in the history of rap has anyone done so much with so little. So, I don’t know what more can you do for a person at that point. A record deal – that’s normal. A record label and a clothing line. If that’s not pushing the person…shit.”

Diddy Tells Elle Magazine

"When a relationship gets to a certain point, I probably get scared and become a little self-destructive."

ELLE: By self-destructive, do you mean going out with other women?

SC: Yeah.

ELLE: If you get caught cheating red-handed, what’s the best response?

SC: Cry. It might not work, but it at least shows that you care. Goddamn, this is a deep interview. You didn’t ask Will Smith none of this shit!

ELLE: But we’re making such valuable progress! Just tell me: Are the tears real?

SC: Yeah, it hurts me. One of my weaknesses is that I actually have a conscience

Don't Worry About Cassie

In your travels around the 'Net this week you may have stumbled across some very interesting pictures of Diddy and Kim Porter peeping out of their hotel room in Brazil half dressed. Considering Diddy bought Kim a brand new Bentley a couple weeks ago [click here if you missed that] this may or may not have come as a surprise to his rumored chick on the side Cassie. No matter though, 'cause Diddy is still looking out for his #1 side chick. They say when Diddy left Warner Music and took Bad Boy Records over to Interscope the only Bad Boy artist who made the jump with him was Cassie.

Chris Brown Made Quite an Impression Last Night

and I'm not talking about the one in his pants. Chris performed on stage for the first time since the the whole Rihanna debacle at the Power 105 Powerhouse concert at Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey last night and those in the house say it's as if he never left.

Brian McKnight Show Workers Revolt

Last week we exclusively reported that money problems could force the Brian McKnight show to be shut down [click here if you missed that].

Another Islamic Group Trying to Shut Down Beyonce

A week ago Beyonce was forced to cancel her concert in Malaysia after protests from the country's Islamic leaders. Now you can add Egypt to the list of countries trying to shut your girl down. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood is demanding to know who gave Sasha permission for a November 6th concert in their country. Not sure how much pull the Brotherhood has, but left up to them there will be one less stop on the final leg of Beyonce's world tour.

Larry Johnson's Mouth Getting Him in Trouble

A couple of nights ago Kansas City Chief Larry Johnson was arguing with some of his Twitter followers calling one a fag and another a broke loser. This was one day before he also went off on reporters calling them fags too. The Chiefs finally got fed up with Larry's behavior and told him to sit his ass down somewhere, literally. Larry has been told not to show up for practice or any other team activities while an internal investigation is conducted. So you know what happened next, Larry issued the standard apology:

First of all, I want to apologize to the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the NFL, Commissioner Goodell, the Chiefs organization, Coach Todd Haley, his staff, and my teammates for the words I used yesterday"

"I regret my actions. The words were used by me in frustration, and they were not appropriate. I did not intend to offend anyone, but that is no excuse for what I said. "

"I also want to apologize to all the kids who view athletes as role models. I was not a good role model yesterday and hopefully I can become a better role model. We all make mistakes, and the challenge is to learn from them. I will do my best to learn from this one as I move toward becoming a better person, teammate, and member of the Kansas City chiefs team and community."

Remember Maxi Priest?


He got arrested for allegedly kicking his ex-girlfriend's ass on a London street the other day. Seems the ex went mad after she caught Maxi in the car with another woman and threatened to smash his windshield with a brick. While windshield didn't get broken the ex did get pushed to the ground and her dress ripped, or so she told the cops. Maxi was arrested and spent the night in jail before being bailed out.

Angela Simmons Thinks You Care About Her New Boyfriend

So she posted this blog for you on Global Grind


It has been a while since my last post but I've been super busy traveling all over the place..sheessh :)

Now that I have a moment to sit down and reflect, I wanted to talk to you about something I have recently noticed. I am a lil surprised at the number of people that seem to disapprove of the relationship with my boyfriend. I find this reality to be kind of hard to accept. There are times when I notice people giving us long hard stares and those stares are usually from my own people!

Honestly, I wish everyone could benefit from the beauty that can come from experiences that happen outside of your own comfort zone. It is truly a beautiful thing that can add so much to your life.

Give it a shot and you can learn so much from a person you never thought you'd talk to or have something in common with. I'm not just talking about dating but about all types of relationships.

Sometimes society makes it hard for us to be comfortable enough in our own skin to embrace others who are different.

I am a firm believer that we are all the same.

Basically what I'm saying is love everyone. Rise above the hate.

Alicia Keys cd Pushed Back


Originally slated for a December 1rst release date, Alicia Keys new cd 'The Element of Freedom' got pushed back to December 15. Alicia tweeted last night that it's because she wants to add more songs, but whispers around the record industry suggest the push back is because her first single 'Doesn't Mean Anything' didn't take off like they hoped it would. Maybe she'll have better luck with her next single 'Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart'

Tracy Morgan tells Playboy Magazine:

"I like fucking ass! Ain’t nothin’ like the butthole. The ass is a delicacy, goddamn it. I’d put hot sauce on it. When you eat the brown hole, that’s when her toes do this. [sticks legs out and curls toes] You got to be willing to do anything to please your woman, to satisfy her. I didn’t invent it. You think I was the first one to think of having anal sex with a girl? Hell, no. I’m quite sure Adam fucked Eve in the ass. In the Garden of Eden he tore her ass up, and she was screaming like a motherfucker."

All charges have been dropped because for one, TMZ decided not to press charges and two, Kanye and his roadie enrolled in anger management classes, so the judge gave 'Ye a community service order and the case has been dismissed.

Isiah Thomas is pissed off at Magic Johnson because in Magic's new book, he blasts Isiah for going around asking if he was gay after Magic was diagnoised with HIV. Magic writes, "How can a so-called friend question your sexuality like that? I know why he did it, because we used to kiss before games, and now if people were wondering about me, that meant they were wondering about him, too."

Asked to respond Isiah Thomas said, "I wish he would have had the courage to say this stuff to me face to face, as opposed to writing it in some damn book to sell and he can make money off it."

Reggie Miller Files a Restraining Order

Remember when Diane von Furstenberg's adult son rented an airplane and flew a message across the sky ordering Reggie Miller to stop messing with his girlfriend [click here if you missed that]? Apparently those two are still beefing because Reggie just filed a restraining order against the dude. Last Sunday Reggie and a gal pal were picking up carry-out from a restaurant in Malibu when von Furstenbaby pulled up beside Reggie's car and started hurling obscenities. When Reggie tried to pull off, von Furstencrazy blocked Reggie's car, jumped out and challenged him to a fight. When Reggie's companion returned to the car with the food, they tried to pull off only to have von Furstenlooney follow them down the street, cut them off and again challenge Reggie to fight. And to make matters worse, von Furstenfool had kids in his car the whole time.
This is not going to end well.

Tichina's Dilemma


Tichina Arnold writes a blog on Essence.com called Tales of a Hollywood Mom. Here's an excerpt from her latest entry:

Tonight, for 20 minutes, I had to listen to Alijah cry herself to sleep to the chant of "I want my daddy!" These are the nights that I wish never existed, but unfortunately do! It's the challenging and heartbreaking side of single mommyhood.
I'm getting sick of hearing MYSELF give her the same reply, "Ok baby, but daddy is not here, we will call him tomorrow. Now go to sleep". I can see her little wheels in her head just turning as if she's about to say: "You say that all the time; she has not said it yet but she is starting to figure out that (for now) daddy is NEVER going to be there when she wants or cries for him.
It's just another single mommy issue that I have to deal with "head on" when the time comes...and it's coming faster than I expected.

I'm realizing that unfortunately in due time...SHE'S going to have to face the reality that her dad is just not as available as she might like for him to be.

One of my first embarrassing wake up calls to being a single mom, was when I picked Alijah up from Pre-School one day, and the teacher said that Alijah held on to the leg of ANOTHER students dad and said "I want you to be my daddy!".

They are seeking $61,820 in unpaid legal fees.

Richard's record was broken by Dane Cooke after he stayed on stage telling his corny ass jokes for three hours and 50 minutes in 2007. Dave later shattered Dane's record with a grueling six hour and 34 minute set, but Dane defended his title with a seven-hour and 34-minute set last year.

AJ Jewell Murder Suspect Free on Bail

Frederick Richardson, the man accused of beating Real Housewife of Atlanta reality star Kandi Burruss' fiance Ashley 'AJ' Jewell to death in a bar fight outside an Atlanta strip club, was freed on a $10,000.00 bond today while awaiting his possible indictment.

Bond was initially denied to Frederick but after a coroner's report suggested AJ may have died as a result of complications of Sickle Cell Anemia, as opposed to a head injury sustained during a fight between he and Fred, a bond was issued. If the final autopsy report finds that Sickle Cell, and not the beating, was the cause of death, all charges against Fred will be dropped.

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union Go Public

Even though Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade's divorce is not final and publicly he swears he and actress Gabrielle Union are not an item, they were spotted looking very much the happy couple at the Miami Children’s Hospital Annual gala Friday night, only one of the biggest events on Miami's social calender. You'll notice in the second picture Dwyane's publicist trying in vain to block the shot. And in another sign that they just don't care who knows they're a couple, Dwyane and Gabby were caught on television during the Monday night football game last week all hugged up in a private club level suite at Land Shark Stadium.

This email was recently sent to The McKnight Show staffers :

Hey Everyone

Silas wanted me to update you.

Negotiations are still on going as far as funding the show. Silas believes that the show will continue, and we will restart shooting as soon as we can.
The first priority will be to get people paid and vendor payments handled. If he had any exact dates for all of this to be resolved, he would be sharing that information – but at this time there is nothing definite..

I know this isn’t much in way of information, but its all we have at the moment.

Well the mourning period must be over because for the second time in two years Alejandra is suing Jermaine for child support. Alejandra says 'Maine owes her over $35,000 and that she's so broke Mother Katherine has had to give her gift cards from Ralph's to help feed her kids.

Diddy Lost a $20,000 Diamond Ring

Diddy's appearance on BET's 106 and Park cost him $20,000.00. Diddy went on 106 to promote his new band Dirty Money and was tossing handfuls of fake money, with a few real bills mixed in, into the studio audience. So how come Diddy's pinky ring flew off his hand and into the crowd? They say Diddy shut down the set and searched each one of the kids trying to find his ring, but to no avail, leaving one of those kids $20,000 dollars richer!

DeShawn Snow Still Having No Fund Fundraisers

If you watched the first season of Real Housewives of Atlanta then you might remember [I say might because she was so boring] DeShawn Snow, the sweet and well meaning wife, whose ideas never really got off the ground. During season one Deshawn held a flop of a fundraiser to benefit her DeShawn Snow Foundation, and even though she invited hundreds of guests to her private residence, she didn't make a slug. They were auctioning jewelry and not a single guest bid on anything, not even the other housewives. They just ate her food, drank her wine and left. How embarrassing! Poor DeShawn is experiencing deja-vu because according to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, she just held another fundraiser to benefit an all girl school in Atlanta and the school says they haven't heard from Shawn since before the benefit and haven't received one thin dime from her. A consultant on the fundraising committee says it's not Shawn's fault the benefit was flop. She blames the economy claiming tons of people backed out at the last minute after promising to contribute. So don't blame DeShawn!

Sickle Cell May Have Attributed to AJ's Death


Fulton County Associate Medical Examiner, Dr. Kelly Rose tells TMZ preliminary autopsy results lead her to believe Ashley "A.J." Jewell suffered from Sickle Cell -- a disease which inhibits oxygen flow to tissues in the body. Rose says it's most likely that Jewell was worked up from the fight -- and because of his condition, it's probable that he couldn't replenish the oxygen he lost during the incident ... which the Dr. says could have fatal consequences.

"I would like to thank my long time fans and supporters for your continued support. I am humbled and grateful to all of you for that. Without going into all of the details as of right now, I would like to apologize that this story regarding my post recording career has caused such a ruckus. The entire story will be revealed at a later time.
Throughout my career and life, I have been faced with many challenges, both professionally and personally. Like all of you, I am human, and may have not made the correct decision all the time. And, like anyone else, I would like to think that my entire life or career is not judged by one error or mistake.
It is very easy to criticize someone and I have left myself open to criticism. That is fair. There are plenty of people that will attest that I have done a lot for them. It seems though, that negativity gets more attention than positivity.
All I can say to that, is before you level any further criticism and cynicism, walk in my shoes. I am making this statement to apologize to the people that truly care about me for any angst that this situation has caused, and to thank them for their continued support. I am proud of what I have been able to do for so many others, and would like to let those persons know that I will continue to be there for them no matter what.
I am proud that during my twenty plus years as a pioneer in the Hip-Hop industry, to have opened doors for those who came after me, such as MC Lyte, Salt N Peppa, and Queen Latifah to name a few. I will have no further statement in regards to this matter at this time."

Over Before It Began

Ever heard of Kanye West's fashion line Pastelle? Well don't bother committing it to memory because the line got 86'd. For some strange reason all of Kanye's financial backers have dropped out and now the line won't see the light of day.

You Be The Judge

After I wrote about seeing Chris Rock's 'Good Hair' many people said they still weren't going to see it because it was a rip off of Regina Kimbell's 'My Nappy Roots' so I went on a Youtube search looking for similarities.






For $3,000 You Can 'Watch This Is It' With Joe Jackson

I kid you not. They're calling it a Platinum VIP Package and you get to see a screening of Michael Jackson rehearsing for his ill fated 'This It It tour' with Joe Jackson in Las Vegas on Oct. 27, plus an autographed copy of Joe's book, 'Joseph Jackson: Man in the Mirror, Father of the First Family of Music', dinner with Joe, pictures with Joe, plus a hotel room and an invitation for the screening's opening night party at the Palms Casino Resort Blue Moon Club.

And if that's not enough MJ for you, you can also bid on 12 strands of singed hair from when Michael got burned during the shooting of the 1984 Pepsi commercial. Joe doesn't have anything to do with the sale of the burned hair, but that's only because the executive producer on the set was able to scoop the hair up before Joe could get there. The hair is being auctioned off by International Autograph Auctions at the Edwardian Radisson Hotel at Heathrow in London on Oct. 17 and includes a transcript account of the incident and a signed color photo.

Usher Calls 911 on Tameka


Last week word leaked out that Usher and Tameka had a little run in regarding the kids. It was Ush's weekend visitation and he'd left the boys with his mom. That didn't sit too well with Tameka so she went banging on Mama Raymond's door demanding the boys be turned over to her. Mama didn't answer the door and Tameka left in a huff. The next day Usher's tires were slashed and his car was keyed. So he called 911.

I Saw Good Hair

and I have to say, I'm not mad at it. Full disclosure here: I'm not a big Chris Rock fan. He comes off as self-hating and coonish to me at times and I fully expected to hate this movie. I went in expecting to be ridiculed and offended and I wasn't. Good Hair, simply put, was good. I don't want to give away too much, but Good Hair brought to light some really important aspects of black hair care, like how outside of owning and running salons, Black people aren't the ones making the real money off Black hair. Good Hair won't make you hate your weave or feel ashamed of it, but it might make you want to take it out. Does that make sense? You'll just have to see it to understand what I mean, but I give it two thumbs up.

So Ummmm

Did anybody hear Rhymes With Snitch get a shout out on The Wendy Williams Show yesterday? I missed it myself but my phone and Twitter was blowing up. Thanks Wendy! How U Doing!?

Rich Ninja Shit

Southern rapper Soulja Boy has a whole series of Youtube videos called Rich N*gga Shit where he shows off all the ridiculous things he's done with his money [click here]. So I guess it's safe to assume Rich Ninjas don't pay their bills on time because Soulja's landlord in California says he owes $10,000.00 in unpaid rent and past due fees. And not only that, Cali Landlord Dude accuses Soulja Boy and his pals of generally running amok. There's been complaints of excessive noise and guests wandering the hallways and Observation Deck and sometimes as many as ten cars in guest parking, all violations of the lease agreement.

Maybe Toni Braxton

Trolling Around on My Favorite Message Board

I came across an interesting open letter to R&B singer Monica. Wanna read it? Here it go:

Does Monica still have her little raggedy ass unpaid publicity stan running around on the alley trying to get us interested in the bitch??? If so, this is for you bitch. Watch your ass bitch. If you wasnt so desperate for money and fame your ass would be satisfied with that little minor leagues hustler you call a fucking man instead of giving your # to my man and then smiling right in my fucking face. You B list bitch!

So. My man and I were shopping in Saks Fifth Avenue (the flagship) and needless to say, I wore his ass out so he took a seat in the women's shoe dept to take a load off and hold the bags as I went and checked out "just one more thing honey" on the other side of the floor. Eventually I find another purchase so I call my honey's cell phone from the register. He comes over and as we head to the elevator, Monica walks by. Now I've met this whore before so I smile politely and frankly couldn't put my finger on who the fuck it was cause she looked busted. He goes, "Thats Monica." I'm like "Oh yea thats right." We hop on the elevator and as the door closes, this bitch jumps on and says "I see you found your wife." He says "yea" and we both make some small talk with this heiffer as we go back down to 1. (she was with some butch looking bitch who never said a word). The whore was all smiles at me, very complimentary about my shoes, my ring etc. Hubby's quiet. As soon as we get off the elevator and this bitch is out of earshot honey tells me that the bitch was so far up his ass in the shoe department before I called and that she kept telling him "Put my number in your phone, we should go out." He told the whore he was with wifey and she never stopped trying to push up til his phone rang and it was me calling telling him to bring his ass on!

Now, this bitch will know exactly who he was when she sees my post but Monica "THE BOY IS MINE". You jersey chasing has been three hit whore!!!!!!!!

My man got cussed out too for not alerting me to this fukkery until after the bitch was gone, however, he knows me and I guess he was not in the mood to bail me out or for the two of us to be on Page Six over some hoodrat shit. But no worries, I will see this bitch again. Unless she sees me first because I know the bitch don't want none.

Shyne Says He Never Spoke With Diddy


About a week before Shyne was released from prison Diddy did an interview talking about how he's spoken to Shyne and how everything was cool between them. Diddy told DJ Absolute, "It's a blessing that he's coming home. I spoke with him a couple weeks ago. He sounded like he was in good spirits. I know he can't wait to get home. And I know he's definitely gonna heat the whole scene up. He's definitely gonna do it, you know what I'm saying, he definitely was one of the most talented young artists that I had the pleasure to work with so I'm quite sure he's been using his time wisely and I'm quite sure he has some heat."

What a liar! Shyne says, “I want it known that this supposed conversation is a figment of Sean Combs’ imagination. He never spoke with me, he never visited me nor would I ever accept a phone call or visit from him. The only way I would do either of those things would be if he stepped up and did the right thing for the victims of the incident.”

Mile High Club Gets Oprah in Trouble


Oh how I wish I was typing about Oprah getting caught having sex in a tiny airplane bathroom with Gayle. That would make for a much better post, but you know Oprah flies on her own private jet and can do whatever the eff she wants on it. This post is about one of Oprah's flight attendants suing her for wrongful termination because the slut got caught having "inappropriate intimate behavior" [read: giving brain] with the pilot mid-flight while Oprah was asleep. Slutty Flight Attendant Chick says the other attendants, one of them being Oprah's BFF Gayle's daughter Kirby, conspired against her and lied on her to get her fired so she's suing Oprah for $75,000.

Case Dismissed

The woman who was suing Chris Rock for $5 million for biting off her idea for his film 'Good Hair', got her ass handed to her in court yesterday. Regina Kimbell says after she showed her documentary 'My Nappy Roots' to Chris Rock in 2007 he told her he could help her, only to turn around and film his own version it. Chris denied offering to help saying he'd watched her documentary, along with many others about hair, for research purposes only. The judge sided with Chris and 'Good Hair' will open today as planned.

LisaRaye Ready to Blast Vivica Fox and Starr Jones


Word around the Internet is LisaRaye will be using her new reality show to target her former best friends Star Jones and Vivica Fox. They say LisaRaye is angry because her pals didn't stick by her through her divorce. She claims to have hosted Star on the Turks and Caicos Islands for 3 months while she went through her divorce from Al Reynolds, only to have Star turn around and take Michael Misicks' side while LisaRaye was going through her own divorce. LisaRaye also accuses Vivica Fox of betraying her by telling Michael Misick her deepest darkest secrets and Duane Martin of providing Michael with a mistress. They say she'll have some words for Rocsi, too.

Precious Inspires Tyler Perry to Speak About his Own Abuse

Before each of Tyler Perry's film releases he always sends out a newsletter bringing his fans up to speed on what's been going on in his life, what inspired his latest film, and a humble request for his fans to support it. Although he didn't write or direct 'Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire' he was so moved by the similarities between himself and the main character he felt compelled to reveal his own tales of abuse and survival. In a series of 'memories' Tyler recalls how he and his mother were beaten senseless by his father, childhood sexual abuse by both male and female adults and the abuses he suffered at the hands of his paternal grandmother.

You can read the letter posted on Tyler's website by clicking here.

Jimmy was sentenced to time served, which he completed shortly after being arrested for the fight. Jim still maintains his innocence and says he only pleaded out to shorten his probation so it wouldn't interfere with his touring schedule.

The Problem With Good Hair


Chris Rock's new film Good Hair hasn't even hit theaters yet and already it's hit a nap snag. Documentary filmmaker Regina Kimbell filed a lawsuit against Chris yesterday charging he'd ripped off her idea for his movie. Regina says she screened her award winning documentary 'My Nappy Roots' for Chris on the set of his tv show Everybody Hates Chris back in 2007. Regina's film features celebrities talking about various hair styles like the conk, press and curls, Afros, Jheri curls, and dreadlocks. Chris' film features celebrities talking about weave, perm and the lengths Black women go through to achieve straight looking hair.

Regina is seeking 'no less than $5 million dollars' in damages and legal fees.

Monique Doesn't Care About Winning an Oscar

so says one of her frienemies. Monique has been subject of serious side eyes ever since she refused to do any promo for the film Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire unless she was paid. By all accounts this is Monique's break-out role and could even earn her an Oscar, but according to her big mouth pal, Monique says, "When people say, 'You care more about money than winning an Oscar,' well, what does an Oscar mean? An Oscar means more work when you win it, and that means more money! I couldn't eat that Oscar. Everybody needs money, baby. That's how we survive, right?" As expected Monique was a no-show for the Friday night premiere in NY, but everybody else was there. Click here for pictures.

Unfortunatly for her, those in the know say the film's producers, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry have instructed the studio stop campaigning for Monique and instead put their Oscar efforts behind Mariah Carey [<--the same Mariah Carey who stared in Glitter? ok].

Gyant Unplugged Sheds Light on Shakir Stewart Suicide?

Atlanta blogger Gyant interviewed former Bad Boy artist Mark Curry who recently wrote a book exposing Bad Boy Records. Maybe exposing is too strong a word. Curry really just confirms everything you've always heard about Bad Boy all the way down to the Voodoo. I kid you not, Curry says Diddy's advisers taught him how to put voodoo on his artists. Anyway, at around the 8:12 mark Curry begins to explain the hoops you have to jump through to get the million dollar contracts and then cryptically adds, "That's the kind of stuff that will make you kill yourself." And if you didn't catch the hint, Gyant breaks in and all but confirms Shakir Stewart is who Curry is talking about.

Mechelle McNair Sued for Sidechick's Back Rent

It's bad enough Mechelle's husband, former Tennesse Titan Steve McNair, was murdered by one of his lovers, now a property management company has exposed ANOTHER side piece. This new chick was discovered after the management company started proceedings against Steve's estate for back rent. Mechelle argues the estate should not be responsible for the rent because Steve was a co-signer only. The apartment in question is in one of Steve's cousin's names but the utility bills and mail were all addressed to a young woman. Incidentally, the apartment was vacated one month after Steve's death and the rent in July, the month Steve was killed, was never paid.

Well Monique's publicist, of all of two weeks, quit on her ass because Monique is still refusing to show up anywhere. She didn't go to the Toronto Film Festival, she didn't go to Cannes, she won't do the talk show circuit, and she won't be at the film's premier this Friday night in New York. Just about the only place she did go was the Sundance Film Festival in Colorado where she received the Special Jury Prize and that was back in February. Hear that? That's the Oscar buzz dying down because nobody likes a premature diva.
