Where Is James Brown's Money

A company that handles royalties and income from commercials and other projects for James Brown's estate has significantly less money than it should, a lawyer for the late soul singer's family said. Much of the money that was supposed to be going to James Brown Enterprise Inc. instead ended up in a company established by a former trustee accused of misappropriating $7 million from the singer, attorney Louis Levenson said Thursday after a court hearing to sort through Brown's finances. The company collected money earned by Brown's endeavors while he was alive and continued to do so after he died on Christmas, but never gave the money to the singer, Levenson said. David Cannon, who quit working for the estate in August after being accused of taking money from it, testified that Brown's work earned millions of dollars a year. He said he would give Brown $100,000 a month for "walking-around spending money" because the singer had difficulty managing his finances.

Barry Bonds was indicted Thursday for perjury and obstruction of justice, charged with lying when he told a federal grand jury that he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs.

Dude Suing Diddy For Rights To Biggie Songs Sues Him Again

Remember that guy, James Sabatino, who's suing Diddy for 19 million dollars claiming he owns the rights to some audio and video footage of Biggie Smalls? He filed another suit against Diddy trying to make him stop mentioning an FBI investigation where James is mentioned in connection with that time Tupac got shot at the studio. In one of the FBI interrogation records, an unidentified informant who had ties to Tupac and Sabatino, told authorities in an interview held six years after Tupac's death that he was inside the Quad Studio when Tupac was shot in 1994. The informant told authorities that Sabatino appeared unconcerned when shots were heard and yelled ‘Get that piece of shit out of here!’ when a bloodied Tupac appeared in the studio. The informant also claimed that Sabatino said that Tupac needed to be ‘dealt with’. James says Diddy is circulating the FBI records ‘as part of smear campaign against him.’

Oscar Getting Sued

That stripper who sold those pictures of Oscar de la Hoya dressed in drag is suing him. Milana Dravnel is filing the papers in Manhattan state Supreme Court against de la Hoya and two unnamed defendants for alleged fraud, defamation, interference with contract, infliction of emotional distress and undue influence, her lawyer said. "[They] did everything [they] could to thwart her being able to sell this, saying they weren't real, photo-shopped, and that she didn't know what she was doing . . . that she was just a stripper," said her high-powered attorney Salvatore Strazullo. He says people in de la Hoya's camp contacted his client and threatened her to keep silent and keep the damaging photographs to herself. "There were so many people involved. Phone calls from people saying they were FBI agents or speaking on behalf of FBI agents. They did everything," Strazullo said. "It's the perfect case of David against Goliath and she got Goliath Junior on their case." When the pictures emerged publicly in September, Dravnel sold them for $70,000 to a West Coast photo agency. De la Hoya's camp denied they were real and insisted they had been doctored.
