James served Diddy on Friday at the Sean John flagship store during the launch party celebrating Diddy's new Sean John women's line. They say Diddy slapped the papers to ground, but one of his flunkies later picked them up.

Joumana And Jason Divorce Heating Up Again
At first Jason Kidd and his wife Joumana's divorce was real dirty, with each accusing the other of outrageous abuses. Then they made a truce to stop airing their dirty laundry in public and everything seemed civil between them. Not Anymore...
Kandi Burruss Broke Up Xscape Messing Around With Jermaine Dupri
The Internet is buzzing right now because Jermaine Dupri has a new book out called Young, Rich and Dangerous: The Making of a Music Mogul.
In the book Jermaine Durpi blames the singing group Xscape's break-up on them being difficult. Well, former Xscape member Tamika Scott-Byas went on Hot 97 and told Miss Jones that the real reason Xscape broke up is because Kandi Burruss was f**king Jermaine Durpri [and his father] and tried to pull a Diana Ross / Berry Gordy move on them.
Which reminded me about the time I heard about how Kandi had friction in the studio with Destiny's Child when she co-wrote Bills, Bills, Bills, because she might have been messing with LeToya Luckett's man or something like that.
Just to be safe better cuff your man around Kandi, ladies.
Steve Stoute Cashes Out
Steve Stoute, 36-year-old former head of Universal Music's urban division, closed on the sale of his Translation Consulting and Brand Imaging to the Interpublic Group. Stoute will get eight figures for his four-year-old firm and stay on as its chairman. Steve has been the go-to guy when corporate America wants to team up with a pop star. He just hooked Beyoncé up with that Samsung B-Phone deal.

Michael Vick Homeless?
On Sunday, the New York Post reported that Michael Vick, having already sold his Virginia home and after moving out of his Georgia home so it can be shown to potential buyers, finds himself homeless. The Post claims records show Vick currently owns no other property. Vick's lawyer had no comment, and his agent would not return calls. He'll be alright, you know he bought his mama, his baby mama, plus at least 3 jump offs a crib.

Pac Man Sued By Paralyzed Shooting Victim
A week ago NFL defensive back Adam “Pacman” Jones was telling people at the TNA iMPACT! tapings that as far as he knows, he is done with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling after that night's Bound For Glory pay-per-view, because despite repeated requests, TNA Vice president Jeff Jarrett had been unable to get the Tennessee Titans to allow Pacman to wrestle. And that ain't the only thing going wrong for Pacman, besides serving a one year suspension from the NFL for getting arrested one to many times. Tommy Urbanski, the man who was shot in the back and paralyzed in Las Vegas last year is suing both Pacman and the NFL, claiming the Tennessee Titans knew Adam "Pacman" Jones was trouble but refused to rein him in until after the Las Vegas strip club manager was shot and paralyzed, according to a lawsuit the former professional wrestler is expected to file in the Nevada courts.
If Michael Jackson Sued by Prince Abdulla
Remember when Michael Jackson beat those molestation charges and moved to Baharain for a year? The guy who hosted Mike, Prince Abdulla Al-Khalifa, is suing him. The Prince says that in exchange for taking care of ALL of Mike and his kid's expenses, (living accommodations, guests, security and transportation. The prince also paid for Mike’s lawyers, who handled his financial renegotiations with Sony and Fortress Trust. At one point in the spring of 2006, Sony could only deal with Prince Abdulla’s team on behalf of Michael.) he and Mike had an agreement that Michael would record two albums, write and produce a live-Broadway kind of show with Jackson’s music and a cast album, and to write and publish an autobiography. Michael did none on those things and to make matters worse, the Prince claims Michael hasn't returned a call from him since he left Baharain. The Prince should have asked somebody, 'cause Mike did the same thing to his former manager Myung-Ho Lee and German concert promoter Marcel Avram. In both cases, Mike signed complicated agreements, made promises for work in exchange for money and then left his partners high and dry. In both cases, he was sued and lost. Last year, Mike lost another case, to former partner Marc Schaffel, who advanced him money and was never repaid. Schaffel won the case and a lien on Neverland. He’s in second place for liens behind Fortress, which has a $25 million attachment to the ranch. Michael recently settled another case, with Prescient Capital, a firm that sued him for $48 million in fees. He did the same thing to Damon Dash's cousin Darien. After Darien Dash secured $357 million dollars for Michael, Mike moonwalked on Darien's $48 million dollar fee. Darien sued and had to settle for $5 million bucks.
What Do Sinbad, Dionne Warwick, And OJ Simpson Have In Common?
All three of 'em showed up on a list compiled by the California Franchise Tax Board of people delinquent in paying their state income taxes. The 250 person list dates as far back as 1999. OJ owes more than $1.44 million, Sinbad owes more than $2.1 million, and Dionne Warwick owes nearly $2.7 million. The tax board made the list public in an effort to shame people into paying their taxes. It worked on Dionne, she's already made a statement blaming her advisors and vows to rectify the situation. Good luck with the other two, cause you know damn well Sinbad ain't got no $2 million dollars and OJ ain't got no shame.

Michael Vick's GA Home For Sale
Michael Vick's 7 bedroom, 8.5 bath Duluth, GA home is on the market for 4.5 milion dollars. Check the listing here. That $23,000 monthly mortgage payment gotta hurt right about now, what with his being suspended from the NFL and having to give back $20 million in bonuses.
TI Not Coming Home Today
According to reports, T.I. and his attorneys did not meet specific conditions for a bond release today, which included a $3.7 million cash and property bond and private alarm monitoring. Plus T.I. would have had to submit to twice weekly drug testing. Additionally, the only adults who would have been allowed on the property would have been his baby mama, Tiny and a federal agent. And before Tip could go back home, the Fed wanted to conduct a full sweep of his house to find any hidden safes and or contraband. I guess they felt that was a bit much. T.I. will be back in court next Friday.
