Another Dummy

So remember earlier this week when we talked about Detroit Piston Flip Murray almost getting robbed at his house after hanging out in the club and having some chick follow him home, and how the news article never mentioned the name of the club? One of my peoples said he was at a strip club called the Sting making it rain and the chick who followed him home was a stripper.

Guess What I Heard

My BFF emailed to tell me about Shawnna and Choppa (Young City) from Making the Band...at the club. She said they came in together and Choppa had a body guard what the heck for? . She also said they were nice, spent some money, probably Shawnna's money and that they were making out and dancing all night.

And don't be talking about "so what." Shawnna is hot right now. She sent an email to Miss Info confirming the rumors that's she's off DTP and working with Remy Ma and Jacki-O, even though she just got finshed talking all this mess about how she don't do "girl groups" and how her and Luda was putting a record out this summer and how she was gonna make him grow his hair back. I wonder what happened with that?

Shooters Spray Tony Yayo's Mama's House

The last time we heard about Tony Yayo it was after he'd slapped the 14 year old son of Czar Entertainment head honcho Jimmy Henchmen. Next thing we know Yayo's mama's house in Queens gets shot up. And dig this, nobody heard any gunshots cause the shooter used a silencer! I'm not saying the two incidents are related but... well, yes I am.

James Brown's Funeral Still Isn't Paid For

The trust handling James Brown's estate owes more than $70,000 for his elaborate funeral and care of his body for nearly three months before it was laid to rest in March, according to the funeral director who handled the soul singer's arrangements.
"I'm just waiting on them to get some of this mess straightened out," said Charles Reid, manager of the C.A. Reid Funeral Home in Augusta, Ga., which handled Brown's funeral. "I really haven't pushed the issue, even though I'd like to have my money."
Some of the funeral costs have already been paid and trustees have mailed a cheque to Reid this week covering the outstanding balance, Brown's longtime adviser and trustee Buddy Dallas said Wednesday.
"It was the children that ran up a funeral bill of over $150,000, not the trustees," Dallas said. "We've done our very best to do what we could to accommodate the creditors. There's no great big pile of money or surplus of money just lying around."

Joe Frazier Suing His Daughter

Former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier has sued his daughter for the return of his contracts, product endorsements and other business papers.
Frazier is financially strapped at 63 and may be missing out on film royalties, product endorsement fees or other income promised in the contracts, his lawyers said.
Jacquelyn Frazier-Lyde _ a lawyer, judicial candidate and sometime boxer _ controls the documents because she served as her father's lawyer and business adviser from 1989-2004, according to the lawsuit.
"I wouldn't want to harass her, my daughter," Frazier said Tuesday by phone from Toronto, where he was appearing at a festival. "I brought her here in this world and gave her the best of everything. I love her."
He said he doesn't know why she might be keeping the records.
"I don't talk to her," Frazier said. "All I'm asking is for the papers, that's all."
The suit charges that Frazier-Lyde has failed to explain where the records are now and refused to accept a certified March 2 letter demanding their return.
A call to her law office in North Philadelphia rang unanswered Tuesday, and there was no immediate reply to phone and e-mail messages left with her judicial campaign. Frazier-Lyde is campaigning for a seat on Philadelphia's Municipal Court.
The suit was filed April 4 in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.
Frazier-Lyde's campaign Web site plays up her lineage, noting she is the "daughter of former World Heavyweight Champion 'Smokin' Joe Frazier and Florence Frazier."
The divorced Joe Frazier lives alone and makes "under six figures" while managing expenses that include child support for at least one of his 11 children, according to lawyer Michael P. Kelly and manager Les Wolff.
Wolff vowed that more suits will follow against others who may have defrauded Frazier.
"He has been swindled and mismanaged," said Wolff, Frazier's agent for the past three years. The ex-champion now largely derives his income from appearance fees, Wolff said.
Kelly, who filed the suit, said he wants to know where Frazier's earnings have gone.
"This guy made a lot of money, was the heavyweight champion of the world, and he doesn't have much. So what happened to it?" Kelly asked.

Police investigate shooting at Piston Flip Murray's home

Mike Martindale / The Detroit NewsTROY -- Police are investigating an incident in which two masked men approached Detroit Piston Flip Murray outside his home early Monday and fired three gunshots into his residence. Murray, 27, told police he was returning to his home, in the 1000 block of Lorenzo, about 1:30 a.m. Monday after being at a Detroit nightclub. Murray left the front door to his home open for a 25-year-old woman friend who was following him home in her own vehicle.The woman was approached from behind by two masked men as she walked to the front door."She was told to be quiet but screamed and ran inside and hid," said Scherlinck. "That brought him (Murray) down to the door where he was instructed to move towards the door by one of the gunmen and instead, he slammed it shut on them."Murray retreated to another part of the house and called 911 as three gunshots were heard outside, Scherlinck said. Two gunshots went into the front door and one pierced a window near the door. No one was injured, police said.Police arrived a few minutes later and the gunmen were gone. The woman, who initially ran from the house, returned and was also interviewed by police. Scherlinck said she corroborated Murray's recollection of events.Murray told police that shortly after he came home he noticed a light-colored, possibly tan sedan pull into the parking lot of a nearby landscaping business. A police tracking dog followed a scent from Murray's home to that location where it is believed someone stepped into a vehicle and drove off.Troy police declined to name the Detroit club that Murray visited before the shooting.Anyone with information about the incident, or who may have seen anything unusual in the Lorenzo-Rochester Road area early Monday morning is asked to call police at (248) 524-3477.Murray signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract with the Pistons last July.

Buckwild Host Going To Jail

Did you ever watch that show on the Playboy channel called Buckwild, where Snoop Dogg and this guy named Ken Francis followed rappers around to strip clubs and stuff? Well you should have. Maybe if the show had been more successful, Ken wouldn't be going to jail for smuggling Ecstasy! Dude had a little modeling agency on the side where prosecutors said he took part in a drug smuggling ring that involved recruiting couriers to travel to Belgium and the Netherlands to pick up packages containing Ecstasy tablets. The couriers told authorities they were told they were smuggling diamonds. The packages actually contained tens of thousands of pills that were brought into Los Angeles and New York in 2000 and 2001, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Cheryl Murphy. Before he was sentenced Monday, Francis told U.S. District Judge Manuel Real that he "got involved in this whole drug-smuggling conspiracy by wanting to start my own business, which was a modeling business." He said he initially thought the models were traveling to Europe for photo shoots, but he later learned they were smuggling drugs.
