Thousands Turn Out
for free Chappelle show. Too bad Dave was only expecting a couple hundred. Word of the impromptu show in Portland, Ore. spread quickly by email, text and word of mouth drawing thousands. Citing the inadequate sound system Dave was forced to cancel the show.
Steve McNair
did not leave a will. His widow, Mechelle, had to file an emergency petition asking that she be allowed to oversee his estate. Her request was granted and she listed herself and her two sons as the only heirs. Steve also had two other sons from a previous relationship.
McNair was shot to death on July 4 by a girlfriend who later turned the gun on herself. Nashville police have ruled it a murder-suicide.
Jilted Bride Gets 6 Figure Kiss-Off
New Jersey Net Richard Jefferson called of his wedding to former Nets dancer Keshia Ni'Cole the night before the ceremony, by email, but don't feel too bad for Keshia because Rich says he gave her a six figure settlement to help her "get on with her life."
Richard [who has been dogged by gay rumors] and Keshia had spent the week before their wedding in LA at the wedding of a friend. On their way back to NY, Rich told Keshia he would meet her there, but instead hopped a flight to Paris with some pals and sent Keshia the email telling her the wedding was off.
In a statement to the press Richard explained himself saying, "It's so crazy, the divorce rate out there. If you aren't 100 percent certain about something, you shouldn't do it."

Jada Says
"When you have three kids, you've got to take your opportunities when they come. In a limo, on the way to the Academy Awards this year, Will started looking at me in this way that drives me wild. We started kissing passionately, and the next thing I knew, well, let's just say we missed the red carpet and I ended up with almost no makeup on."

Akon's New Baby Mama
wants her money. Just found out married singer Akon has a six-month-old baby on the side in California and the kid's mother says 'Kon is not stepping up to the financial plate. Sarah Coleman says she's has been unable to serve Akon with child support request papers, even after sending process servers to Michael Jackson's funeral to catch him. Akon, on the other hand, says paternity was only established a month ago and that baby girl needs to fall back and give him a chance to get set up payments, blaming the hold-up on the fact that they live in different states and his busy touring schedule.
Burn
In an interview with U.K. magazine Pride, Nia Long was asked about singers who try to act and Beyonce's performance in 'Obsessed' specifically, to which Nia replied, “I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes.”
Debbie Rowe
has agreed to a one time $4 million dollar settlement to relinquish her custody rights once and for all.
Nas Doesn't Have Nearly As Much Money As Kelis Thinks He Does
So says he. When Kelis petitioned to the court for support pending her and Nas' divorce, she cited the $11 million dollar record deal Nas signed with Def Jam in 2006. Well, Nas countered saying he only made $4 million bucks from the Def Jam deal and that he currently pulls in $147,000 a month, so he can only afford to give Kelis $5,000 a month because he has over $71,000.00 in monthly expenses, including $10,000 a month for clothing/hair/toiletries/personal effects.
