Usher In DC

Although some fans reported pleasant run ins with Usher and Tameka in DC this past week, not everyone did. Snitches claim a young fan walked up to Usher and Tameka at Barney's in Georgetown and asked to take Usher's picture. They say Usher rudely refused while Tameka laughed, leaving the young fan in tears. We also hear Usher refused to acknowledge fans calling his name as he walked to his not-so-VIP- seats on the inauguration viewing grandstand, leaving some of his fans screaming incredulously, "So you're too good for us? We're your people!"

Adam 'Pac Man' Jones Sued By Lawyer

From the Atlanta Journal and Constitution:
Manny Arora claims Adam 'Pac Man' Jones stiffed him for fees “in excess of $10,000” on 18 different cases in which Arora represented either Jones’ family members or friends.
None of the cases mentioned in the lawsuit filed in Fulton State Court involve Jones directly. The suit lists Deborah Jones, James Jones, Lewis Kueffor and Fleming Daniels as the defendants Arora assisted. The charges against them vary from speeding to kidnapping, simple battery and, in the case of Daniels, murder.
Jones has been arrested six times and has been involved in a dozen incidents requiring police intervention since the Tennessee Titans drafted him in the first round in 2005.
Jones was suspended in April 2007 and missed all of that season. He was traded to the Dallas Cowboys last April and reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in August.
The Cowboys began the season among the favorites to make the Super Bowl but failed to reach the playoffs. The club cut Jones after a season in which he missed several games while undergoing drug and alcohol treatment.

Gravy's Dirty Laundry

Now that Jamal 'Gravy' Woolard is in the spotlight for his portrayal of The Notorious B.I.G in the Biggie biopic, all his business is in the street. Last year Gravy got arrested for slapping the shit out of his wife. They say after Gravy stayed out all night his wife went off on him about it and admitted to police that she dared him to hit her. According to police reports, Gravy told them, "She wouldn't stop pushing me, so I snuffed her." On a side note, Gravy's wife beating case is being handled by the Legal Aid Society which, incidentally, handles cases for indigent clients.
Another Gravy tidbit is that he got shot in the ass on the way into a interview at NY's Hot 97 and went on and did the interview before seeking medical attention.
