You Could Hate

But you'd be wasting your time. Who says Jay Z is scrambling?

The Beatles rank #1 with 19 albums charting at #1, Jay and Elvis both have 10. Jay's mini concert tour to support the album sold out in minutes and the kids LOVE his new single Roc Boys. He's opening a new 40/40 club in Las Vegas and he just bought The Artful Dodger clothing line for $15 million cash as part of a joint venture with Iconix, the group who paid him $204 million for Rocawear.

Tennessee Titan Adam PacMan Jones will serve his full one-year suspension for detrimental conduct. PacMan met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell last Friday hoping to get his suspension overturned. No Dice. The NFL released this statement, "Commissioner Goodell notified Adam Jones that his suspension will remain unchanged and will continue through the remainder of the 2007 season.

Give Jermaine Some Props

Jermaine Dupri tells Vibe magazine, "I'm programmed to think nobody in the music industry likes me. I believe that when you're as good as me - and I don't say that to be cocky - you never get your props. That's why I identify with 50 Cent. "50 has sold (too many) records for people to be acting the way they're acting. Niggas just want him to fall off. It's like, 'He made his money... Fuck 50.' I get treated the same way."

Is There Even Any Money Left?

Between allegations of trustees misusing estate funds, the 6 kids he claimed in his will, the 4 kids he didn't, the girlfriend who claims she's his wife and that her son is his too, even though she refuses to submit his DNA, another woman has come out of the woodwork claiming rights to James Brown's estate. Velma Warren Brown filed papers in the Aiken county court Wednesday claiming she and the late Godfather of Soul were married in 1953, had 3 children, lived together for 17 years, and that she'd never been served, nor had she ever signed any divorce papers to end her marriage to James Brown. Nice Try Velma. Court documents surfaced showing a judge granted a divorce in 1969, not to mention the fact Velma had remarried. "If Ms. Brown believed that she was not divorced, she's admitting to having herself committed bigamy," said Louis Levenson, an attorney representing several of James Brown's children.
