Jim Jones Pleds Guilty

Remember when Harlem rapper Jim Jones jumped somebody from Ne-Yo's entourage in a New York Louis Vuitton store on Christmas Eve last year[click here if you missed that]? Well, after initially denying it, Jim pled guilty to misdemeanour assault in a Manhattan court yesterday.

Jimmy was sentenced to time served, which he completed shortly after being arrested for the fight. Jim still maintains his innocence and says he only pleaded out to shorten his probation so it wouldn't interfere with his touring schedule.

The Problem With Good Hair

Chris Rock's new film Good Hair hasn't even hit theaters yet and already it's hit a nap snag. Documentary filmmaker Regina Kimbell filed a lawsuit against Chris yesterday charging he'd ripped off her idea for his movie. Regina says she screened her award winning documentary 'My Nappy Roots' for Chris on the set of his tv show Everybody Hates Chris back in 2007. Regina's film features celebrities talking about various hair styles like the conk, press and curls, Afros, Jheri curls, and dreadlocks. Chris' film features celebrities talking about weave, perm and the lengths Black women go through to achieve straight looking hair.

Regina is seeking 'no less than $5 million dollars' in damages and legal fees.

Monique Doesn't Care About Winning an Oscar

so says one of her frienemies. Monique has been subject of serious side eyes ever since she refused to do any promo for the film Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire unless she was paid. By all accounts this is Monique's break-out role and could even earn her an Oscar, but according to her big mouth pal, Monique says, "When people say, 'You care more about money than winning an Oscar,' well, what does an Oscar mean? An Oscar means more work when you win it, and that means more money! I couldn't eat that Oscar. Everybody needs money, baby. That's how we survive, right?" As expected Monique was a no-show for the Friday night premiere in NY, but everybody else was there. Click here for pictures.

Unfortunatly for her, those in the know say the film's producers, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry have instructed the studio stop campaigning for Monique and instead put their Oscar efforts behind Mariah Carey [<--the same Mariah Carey who stared in Glitter? ok].

Gyant Unplugged Sheds Light on Shakir Stewart Suicide?

Atlanta blogger Gyant interviewed former Bad Boy artist Mark Curry who recently wrote a book exposing Bad Boy Records. Maybe exposing is too strong a word. Curry really just confirms everything you've always heard about Bad Boy all the way down to the Voodoo. I kid you not, Curry says Diddy's advisers taught him how to put voodoo on his artists. Anyway, at around the 8:12 mark Curry begins to explain the hoops you have to jump through to get the million dollar contracts and then cryptically adds, "That's the kind of stuff that will make you kill yourself." And if you didn't catch the hint, Gyant breaks in and all but confirms Shakir Stewart is who Curry is talking about.

Mechelle McNair Sued for Sidechick's Back Rent

It's bad enough Mechelle's husband, former Tennesse Titan Steve McNair, was murdered by one of his lovers, now a property management company has exposed ANOTHER side piece. This new chick was discovered after the management company started proceedings against Steve's estate for back rent. Mechelle argues the estate should not be responsible for the rent because Steve was a co-signer only. The apartment in question is in one of Steve's cousin's names but the utility bills and mail were all addressed to a young woman. Incidentally, the apartment was vacated one month after Steve's death and the rent in July, the month Steve was killed, was never paid.
