Tyler Perry Being Sued By A Gang of Contractors
From the Atlanta Journal and Constitution:
Six construction firms have filed liens against Tyler Perry’s house and his new movie studio claiming he refuses to pay them what he owes. The contractors allege Perry refused to pay their final bills either for no apparent reason or because their work met with his arbitrary disapproval. They say he ordered work redone on impulse, deciding he wouldn’t like the stones purchased for an outdoor fountain, for instance, or deeming newly planted trees too short.
Perry, though, said he withheld payment only for shoddy work or for undocumented charges and then only for a handful of the dozens of construction companies he hired. Even those, he said, still got paid hundreds of thousands of dollars each before he dismissed them.
“There’s a Tyler Perry tax that’s put on things,” Perry said “I’ve seen the worst of what people can be, the worst of what family members can be. I pride myself on taking care of my business. I pride myself on being able to pay the bills.” But “I’m not sympathetic to anybody who’s trying to rip me off. Just because I’m a Christian, just because I’m a nice guy, it doesn’t mean I’m a wimp.”
“Tyler’s an all right guy,” one of the contractors said. But “he’s the most miserable guy I ever met. He don’t trust nobody. Everybody wants something from him.”

that says 'Stove Stop Stuffing'. Tracy explains “I’m pretty well-endowed. A girl told me to get that because I stuffed her up like a turkey. She said, ‘You should call that Stove Top!’”
Lil Kim Saw Notorious And Did Not Like It
And here's what she had to say about it:
"I feel like I was not portrayed how I should have been in this movie. I was in love with BIG and he was in love with me. I was never a JUMP-OFF, I know this and BIG knew this. I wasn’t even able to choose who I wanted to portray me in this movie. I would have never picked Naturi, she doesn’t have a Lil Kim aura at all! She looks nothing like I looked back then. We have NO similarities. Watching her on-screen was so “dreadful” as Simon Cowell would say. She is tasteless and talentless. Never once did she contact me for input or to get a feel of me for the character. A “TRUE” actress would contact the source to be the best they can be in portaying someone. That told me right there, she wasn’t right for the part and not to mention, Naturi has got to be one of THE worst actresses I’ve ever seen and I can’t believe they chose her. I really can’t!"
"Another thing is, I have been dealing with legal matters as far as them not wanting to pay me and sh*t for this movie, got a lawyer involved, so everything is cool with that, but it still doesn’t change my views and feelings. This is truly Faith and Ms. Wallace’s movie. And Ms. Wallace is right, this isn’t a Lil’ Kim movie and it’s not about me. I didn’t want it to be about me, I wanted it to be REAL though. And that it is NOT. I take no part in this movie and have nothing to do with it. I love BIG and will never stop reppin him. There is NOTHING anyone can do about it. The world will see the Lil Kim story, THE REAL ME! Not some made up bullshit portrayed by a talentless has-been back up singer."

Beyonce Says
"I'm not this round the clock diva looking for attention. I'm way more comfortable out of the spotlight and just chilling out with my family. I'm very quiet. I love to paint. I love to watch TV though it seems I never get to do it. I love a lot old television shows. I still love the Cosbys. I also love the Fresh Prince."
Eddy Curry Baby Mama Found Murdered
New York Knicks Center Eddy Curry is having a rough time these days. A week or two ago Eddy's male chauffeur filed a sexual harassment suit against him, claiming Eddy exposed himself and propositioned him for gay sex. This week Curry's ex-girlfriend Nova Henry and her 9 month old daughter Ava were found dead from gunshot wounds in their Chicago condo. What's worse, Eddy's 3 year old son with Nova, Noah, was also found in the condo, unharmed, albeit covered in blood. Nova had claimed Ava was also Eddy's child, which Eddy denied.
A suspect is in custody and officials say Eddy, who is said to be very distraught, has in no way been implicated in the case. Nova was reported to have had a restraining order out against a former boyfriend who family members claim told her there was only one way out of their relationship.
