Foxy Brown Threatens 50 Cent
I'm not really into rap beefs, but at least the latest salvo in the 50 Cent / Rick Ross beef is hella funny. Rick and 50 have been going back and forth for a couple of weeks with Rick referring to 50 as 'Curly', a monkey and a parody of Hip Hop. Rick also recorded a 50 Cent diss record called 'Kiss My Pinky Ring.' 50 responded by taking Ross's baby mama shopping and getting her to talk trash about Ross on video, went on a radio station and read an alleged Ross' financial statement claiming it revealed all of Ross' cars are leased and his jewelry fake, plus Fif recorded a diss record called 'Officer Ricky' that made mention of the brief Rick Ross / Foxy Brown hook-up that occurred over the summer, causing Foxy to issue a statement giving 50 '24 hours' to retract the line or she was going to handle him 'Brooklyn Style'. This video is 50's response.

Etta Was Just Playing

Etta James says she was just trying to get a laugh when she threatened to whip Beyonce's azz. "I didn't really mean anything," James said. "Even as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude. ...That's probably what went into it." And while she said she liked Beyonce's performance, when asked if she thought she could have done better, James answered, "I think so. That's a shame to say that." Miss Etta did admit to, "feeling left out of something that was basically mine, that I had done every time you look around," she said.

Charlie Wilson Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer
With the release of his second solo album, 'Uncle Charlie,' less than two weeks away, famed R&B artist Charlie Wilson has announced that he is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
The 'Yearning For Your Love' singer was diagnosed with the male reproductive system disease last fall and began therapy on Nov. 21. Wilson's sudden diagnosis has lead him to team up with the Prostate Cancer Foundation to help raise awareness and research funds for prostate cancer.

As lead singer for the Gap Band, Charlie Wilson sang on four number one R&B hits: "Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)," "Early in the Morning," "Outstanding," and "Addicted to Your Love" -- as well as the classics "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," "Yearning for Your Love," "Party Train," and "Big Fun." The band had three platinum albums, two gold certificates, and supplied hit singles for the movie soundtracks to Penitentiary III ("Sweeter Than Candy") and the title track Top 20 R&B hit single of Keenon Ivory Wayans' I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. After a long hiatus, Wilson returned in 2000 with Bridging the Gap, issued by Interscope and sporting appearances by Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg (the smooth "Big Pimpin'") and Case (on the duet ballad "Another Man"). The album became an R&B hit and brushed the Top 200 album chart as well. His 2005 LP Charlie, Last Name Wilson hit the Top Ten thanks to the success of the title track and "Magic."
Michael Jordan's Sister Claims Their Father Sexually Abused Her

Book excerpt spotted at Panache Report:
"Please understand that sexual molestation brutally violates a child's mind; destroying all traces of innocence. And more often than not, it takes with it their security and self-worth while imprisoning them in a painful world of silence and guilt."
"When I finally found the courage to let my father's deeds tumble from my lips, I did not know what to expect, but I never in a million years would have guessed that my mother would turn on me. Her words of betrayals did far more damage to me than my father's deeds. They spoke volumes to the fact that she really did not care about me, which my father obviously knew. It is because she was so expressive with her dislike for me that probably made my father know he could get away with violating me."
"It turned out to be true, when he told me that if I ever told, it would be he that my mother believed and me that the family hated."
"My father confessed his actions on the same day that I disclosed them to my mother. And on that frightful day of admission, I watched my mother, looking for a sign, any sign that she cared about me."
"I watched her as she stood in my bedroom citing their decision to send me away. Once again, I became the little girl who was always looking for her mother's signal of affection and approval, but once again there was none!"
"The memory of my father whispering in my ear during the wee hours of the night about the beauty of my body has played over and over in my head for many years. And as if that has not been incapacitating enough by itself, having to comprehend the fact that more often than not, he had just gotten out of the bed he shared with my mother to find his way to my bedroom has just added to the realization of the painful situation."
"It came to injure my mother's womanhood to such a point that she came to think of me as her adversary, with her striking out at me (the other woman) every chance she could, no matter where we were and what the occasion."
