Swizz Tightening The Screws On Mashonda

Mashonda's friends are snitching that Swizz is trying to play her scurvy. They say he's slashed her support payments from $5,000 a week to $3,500 a month, meanwhile she's seen charges for jewelry Swizz bought Alicia Keys in France. The snitchers also say over the winter the heat went out in Mashonda's 30,000 square feet Westchester mansion and Swizz wouldn't have it fixed. Business Tellers from Swizz's side say the heat was only out in one wing of the house and not where Mashonda and their son were sleeping and that, "Swizz has put settlement offers on the table, but Mashonda won't say what she needs. She just came back from Paris and London. She drives a Bentley Flying Spur and a Cadillac Escalade. I don't think life's too bad for her."

Life Imitating Art

Not really but, there is a shooting involved.

Over the weekend, Aubrey, who now raps under the stage name 'Drake' had to cut short his Chicago House of Blues concert because of a shooting. Fortunately no one ended up in a wheelchair, but one guy was shot in the ass.

The Lawsuit Will Go On

The lawsuit to stop Micheal Jackson's London concert series is moving full steam ahead. AllGood Entertainment had a meeting with Michael and Joe Jackson and several others at the Beverly Hills Hotel yesterday and tried to work out the issue. If you'll recall, Mike signed an agreement to perform with his brothers and sister Janet last year [click here] and the contract forbade Mike to sign any contract for 18 months. After backing out and signing on to do the London series AllGood objected. Anyway, the sticking point is the concert was supposed to be pay-per-view and Michael hates that format and refuses to do it.
