Controversy At This Day Concert

Last week all your favorite entertainers and models were in Lagos, Nigeria performing at the ThisDay Music and Fashion Festival to spotlight Nigeria's fast-growing reputation as a cultural destination. Jay Z, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Chris Brown, Fat Joe, Naomi Campbell, Tyson Beckford and Alec Wek, along with tons of local Nigerian music acts and fashion designers were scheduled to make appearances. Unfortunately, the first night the program started a whole five hours late and the fashion show featuring Naomi Campbell and performances by all the local artists had to be cut from the show. Only Rhianna, Jay Z and Usher performed the first night, even though some fans paid as much as $508 for tickets. Anyway, here's some pictures from the event. And if you search You Tube, I'm sure you could find a performance or two.

Natalie Cole Has Hepatitis C

A statement released by Natalie Cole's publicist says the liver disease Hepatitis C, spread through contact with infected blood, was revealed to Natalie during a routine check-up and was likely caused by her excessive drug use in years past. You didn't know Nat "King" Cole's daughter used to be a serious druggie? She wrote all about it in her autobiography, Angel on My Shoulder. And please believe, if they'd had Internet back in the day, Natalie would have been an online star to rival the likes of DMX and Whitney Houston.

Al Reynolds Has A You Tube Channel

but Star Jones has nothing to worry about because all his You Tubes are boring as hell, no gossip material whatsoever. I swear I almost fell asleep during one of them. Sure, his flamenicity is amusing to watch for a few seconds, but other than that...boo. Anyway, we've heard it all before. Quite predictably, Al says he still loves Star and continues to wear his wedding ring, won't discuss the terms of his prenuptial agreement, says his wedding day was the most exciting day of his life, claims he's not gay, and that sadly, he and Star don't talk anymore. Click here to see the footage of him talking about his marriage to Star, but it's a good idea to have your morning coffee first or else you might fall alseep at your keyboard.

Slow Gossip Day Blues

Don't you hate it when nobody is spilling the beans on gossip boards and celebs are on their best behavior? Me too. Anyway, here's some crap that didn't make the cut with me from earlier this week.

The Baby Phat and Phat Farm store in Soho closed and Kimora just agreed to sell her Fabulosity line exclusively at JC Penny's.


A poster from Necole Bitchie's blog wrote the following about a Monica sighting: "I was having dinner at Outback and I was pleasantly surprised to see Monica and her two cutie boys…until she changed the oldest ones pamper. Yes I said pamper. And he has to be at least 3! She did it right at the dinner table and then left it and it was filled with #2!!!!!! Can we say restroom and changing table?"

Atlanta rapper Young Jock is being sued by a stereo shop because he got $25,000.00 worth of stereo equipment put in his car, and then didn't pay for it.

Stephon Marbury cut a deal with Amazon to sell his Starbury shoes online.

Terrence J and Rocsi from 106 and Park got into it on air and Rocsi walked off the set on live TV and hasn't been seen since.

By Any Means Necessary

They say Kimora Lee is so hot to have a baby by her boyfriend, actor Diamond House-Shoe, that she has resorted to in-vitro fertilization. So if she pops up with twins, don't be surprised.

Faith Evans Writing a Tell-All

Late great rapper Biggie Smalls ex-wife R&B singer, Faith Evans, is writing a tell all book. Faith says, “Big never got a chance to tell his story. It's been left to others to tell it for him. In making the decision to tell my own story, it means that I've become one of those who can give insight to who Big really was. But I can only speak on what he meant to me.” 

Keep the Faith: A Memoir, is scheduled for release August 29th.

Were You There?

I heard Lil Wayne was at club Cirque in Dallas, TX over the weekend, got on stage, set the mic on the floor, rubbed lotion on his body....and walked off the stage. They say the crowd went nuts, booing and demanding their money back...allegedly. And get this, they say the promoter paid Weezy $30,000.00 for the privilege. Can anybody confirm this crazy tale?

Eddie Murphy's new movie "Meet Dave" pulled in a pitiful $5 million dollars it's opening weekend.
