If You Needed Confirmation
Lauryn Hill
has canceled her summer concert tour, citing health concerns [click here if you didn't even know she had a tour planned]. This highly anticipated tour, billed as a comeback, included dates in Sweden, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, and Austria.
Does Lil Wayne Still Endorse Strapped Condoms?
Because he sure don't use the motherfuckers. According to Internet chatter [which means this may or may not be true] one of Wayne's exes, R&B singer Nivea, is pregnant with his child. Counting the baby from that Vietnamese chick [click here if that got passed you], Lauren London's impending birth [again chatter], and barring any secret kids we don't know about, this makes three for lil wayne in the past year and four total.
Michael Jackson
will have a children's choir backing him on his upcoming UK concert dates. Mike requested equal numbers of black, white, mixed-race and Asian children, between the ages 5 and 13 and they must know sign language. Also on Michael's wish list, six marching snare drummers of mixed ethnicity with no facial hair.
Max B Facing 20 Years
Former Dip Set/Bryd Gang affiliate Max B was found guilty on 9 of 11 charges of manslaughter and conspiracy to commit robbery yesterday. You can Google if you want to know the specific counts, but the long and short of it is, Max, a stripper chick and another guy tried to set up this dude who was known for splashing out tons of cash at the bar where Stripper Chick worked. Stripper Chick lured The Dude to a hotel room, but the robbery went wrong when The Dude shot and killed one of the accomplices. Stripper Chick testified against Max B and now he's facing 20 years. He is planning an appeal.

A Jackson 5 Tribute Band With A Real Jackson In It
They say Tito Jackson is considering joining Jackson 5 tribute band The Dancing MAChine Revue. Lead by Tito's own former publicist Arthur Phoenix, the Dancing MAChine Revue plays at state fairs and casino events 40 times a year and just returned from a show in Bucharest, Romania. Arthur says, "He [Tito] wanted to be a part of shows we have coming up this year and it was all a go and then he backed out, fearing that the [Jackson] family would criticise him. But it's still on his mind. We would love to have Tito or Jermaine [Jackson] make an appearance from time to time. It would be great."
