Fake Ass Beyonce

Here's a picture of the fake Beyonce who showed up at the Albertina museum in Vienna the other day. Turns out it was a prank. The day after Beyonce's tour stop in Vienna a radio station called the Albertina pretending to represent Beyonce and scheduled a private tour and then sent in a look-a-like. The "she-kinda-looks-like-Beyonce-if-you-tilt-your-head-back-close-one-eye-and squint-out-the-other" took the whole tour and even took pictures with the museum director.

Remember Foxy Brown's neighbor? That one she clocked in the face with a Blackberry after they got into a fight over Fox blasting music from her truck [click here if you don't]? The chick was trying to sue Foxy for what, I don't know, three tubes of Wet N Wild lipstick and a pack of weave? but the case got dismissed because the judge ruled Fox was never legally served.

DMX

has been ordered to pay $240,000.00 to the family he pulled over at JFK 5 years ago. Yes, pulled over as in impersonating an FBI officer using a fake siren. X says he pulled them over because they made him late for a flight. He was arrested that night carrying crack, Oxycodone, Diazepam and a billy club. X's lawyer says,“Mr. Simmons still feels justified in pulling them over when they didn’t get out of his way… he’s not apologizing for that. The gentleman driving should have gotten out of his way.”

Toni Braxton

is suing Lloyd's of London because they won't pay out on her unemployment claim. Back in 2006 Toni signed on as the resident headliner at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. Toni played the venue for a few months, cancelled more than a few shows, and after being hospitalized one night with breathing problems, quit the show all together and blamed it on the Pericarditis she'd been diagnosed with after the birth of her second child. Toni is suing Lloyd's because she says she bought "non-appearance" and "cancellation" insurance and says Lloyd's owes her for the 9 months left on her contract when she quit, while Lloyd's says Toni had an undisclosed, pre-existing condition so they aren't liable.

By Some Twisted Logic

Time Magazine lists Lil Wayne as being more influential than Vladimir Putin, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Ok, I'm being a little misleading because it is a reader generated list and includes people in government, science, technology and the arts. But still.

Excerpt From Rick Ross's Baby Mama Book

Since Rick Ross moved more than 150,000 units of 'Deeper Than Rap' it's first week out, placing him in the number one spot on the charts, it might be safe to assume that his baby mama backed the wrong horse in the 50 Cent/Rick Ross rap war. If you recall [click here if you don't], 50 Cent got Rick's kid's moms on tape talking trash about Rick and looking thirsty as hell while 50 took her shopping for a fur coat to take back to hot ass Miami, in 50's effort to "Ja Rule" Rick's career. From the looks of Rick's first week in sales, I'll say that was a fail. In any case, here's an excerpt from the tell-all written by Tia and published by 50: "I looked at my watch, it was 4:30pm on January 21, 2009, the day I had been waiting to come for eight months. It was the day of the deposition in the child support case I had filed against the father of my third son, William Leonard Roberts Jr. also known as the big-time rapper (not the notorious drug dealer, don’t get them confused) Rick Ross.I had started this battle against William 17 months earlier after our tumultuous four-year relationship filled with passion and pain. My lawyer Ileana M. Almeida had spent the last eight months trying to get Will’s lawyer Allan Zamren to make Will do the deposition for the case. They’d canceled two times already so I was surprised that William had finally showed up and was glad we were gonna to get things going. Ever since he’d become a celebrity, Will had been a different person. That mixed with his touring and promotions schedule and the life of a rap star is what made it so hard for anything in the child support case to move forward. His attitude also made things difficult."

If that didn't bore you to tears you can click here to read more of it. Unfortunately the book may turn out to be even boring-er [is that a word?]. According to an interview turncoat baby mama did with XXL.com the book is also going to cover parts of her life that have nothing to do with Rick. She tells XXL, “There are a lot of things that I experienced in my life before I met Ross that was overwhelming or outrageous or just crazy. And there are a lot of things that I went through that I thought would be very interesting for people out in the world to hear.”

Illseed Blasts T-Pain By Mistake

Illseed, who posts the rumors over at AllHipHop.com, fucked up while posting a reader submitted item because he forgot to delete the name of the rapper in question from his post. After saying he wouldn't name the rapper, 'Seed went on to post, “You ain't hear this from me but, my Ex is a dancer and saw [popular rapper in Florida] in her popular Miami strip club getting a dance from a stripper and he had one of his homeboys with him and his homeboy had his leg over [the rapper’s] leg in [the rapper’s] crotch area. His leg was in between T Pain's legs while the stripper was dancing for them. Very suspect.” Oops!

Just Asking

Here's Usher unveiling a billboard featuring his face for the Boys and Girls club in Atlanta. His mom was there, but not his wife Tameka.

Here's Usher on the beach in Miami with his oldest son and again, no Tameka in sight.

When Usher testified on Capital Hill advocating volunteerism, Tameka was not there either.And when Usher walked the orange carpet at the 2009 Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards he was sans the wife and kids, unlike in years past.

Has anybody seen Usher and Tameka together lately?

Leaked Photo May Save Chris

Chris Brown's attorney addressed the court yesterday claiming leaked photos of Rihanna's beaten faced, obtained by TMZ and posted on the Internet, make it impossible for Chris to get a fair trial and that if LAPD is behind the leak they would seek dismissal of the charges. The trial date has been postponed to give investigators more time to find out how TMZ got their hands on the photo. The next hearing is set for May 28th. It was also ruled that $1.4 million in borrowed jewels Rihanna was wearing the night of the beat down, and currently being held in evidence, be returned.
