Rebbie Jackson and Grace Rwaramba

got into a fist fight. Fair Warning: Before you get too vested in this, I got it from the National Enquirer, ok?
Anyway, Grace, MJ's former nanny, who was fired six months before he died, got stole on by Rebbie because ol Gracie was talking slick to Ms. Katherine. They say Grace dropped by the Jackson estate to visit the kids and had some smart shit to say about how Paris, Prince and Prince Micheal [Blanket] II were being raised. After getting fed up with the way Grace was talking to her mother, they say Rebbie hauled off and slapped her, but Gracie fought back and it was on.

Tell Us How You Really Feel Dallas

I'm guessing Dallas Austin won't be working with Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak again anytime soon. And speaking of the housewives, they say NeNe Leaks showed up unannounced to gay and lesbian bookstore Outwrite in Midtown Atlanta the other day and after being spotted, a sizeable crowd assembled and every copy of NeNe's new book, “Never Make the Same Mistake Twice: Lessons on Love, and Life Learned the Hard Way”, promptly sold out.

Ever Since Michael Died

Jermaine Jackson has maintained a high profile, speaking on his dead brother's behalf and vowing to devote the rest of his life to spreading Michael's message. This was so not the case back in 2003 when he was shopping an explosive tell-all book about his most famous sibling. Here's a taste of what Jermaine had to say back then.
“My brother is a superstar, yes. My brother is wealthy. He owns shares in Sony music. He drinks, he does drugs, he lies, he cheats, he changed his skin color and mostly, he’s human. He attracts gay men and wards off women like the plague.”
Not all of Jermaine's poison pen was reserved for Michael. He had a few choice things to say about Pappa Joe, too. Namely, “Joseph did some disgusting things to LaToya and Rebbie, especially. If it weren’t for Mother’s loyalty to him, he’d probably be in prison for what he did to our sisters.”
You can read more excerpts from the manuscript here.

What Do You Think

about T.I. putting his oldest sons' mother on blast in a new mixtape?
Here's the verse:
"I’m in a public tug of war for dough I struggled for. I owe money for my sons, honey and nothing more. Do much more than average for my sons and you just ignore, in fact, you can get off your ass and work if you don’t wanna be fucking poor. That’s not quite the issue is it? It’s that we don’t fuck no more. That’s supposed to be you who buying houses, picking out decor. That’s supposed to be you in Bentleys, Fendi and Dior. That’s your problem, just accept it, you and I are never more. And forever we never will, just try your best to deal. I rolled around with you for years and I regret it still. And well, since you ain’t let yourself know, you look a mess, just let yourself go I guess."

C Murder Found Guilty

Master P's 38-year-old brother Cory Miller aka C Murder has been found guilty of second degree murder for killing a 16-year-old in a 2002 bar fight. C had originally been convicted for the murder in 2003, but the judge overturned the ruling after it was discovered several witnesses had had criminal records expunged in exchange for their testimony. In May, Cory pleaded no contest to attempted murder in relation to a separate nightclub fight in 2001. He was sentenced to time served in that case. Sentencing for Cory's murder conviction is pending.

How Rude

The New York Times fashion blog The Cut did a post about its parent magazine's review of the new JC Penny in Herald Square branding it for the fat and tacky. The article mentions Ralph Lauren's clothing line, Charlotte Ronson's line, Nicole Miller's line, Liz Clairborne's line and Kimora Lee's line. Funny [but not really] how Kimora's post pregnancy picture is the one that ends up next to the 'fat and tacky' tag line. How Rude. Click here if you want to read the post.
