Joe Jackson Shut Down
One of the legal legs Joe Jackson was trying to stand on to wrangle a $15,000 a month stipend from Michael Jackson's estate has been kicked out from under him. When Joe filed papers contesting being left out of the will, one of his objections was that the day Michael "allegedly" signed his will in LA he was actually in NY, therefore rendering the document a forgery. Not so fast. The judge told Joe forgery or not, since he's not even mentioned in the will he has no grounds to contest it. Oh, and Katherine is standing by the ruling. And one more thing, the estate just paid back the $49,000.00 deposit Janet put down on Michael's $1,000,000.00 funeral.
Michael Vick Gets to Keep Millions in Bonuses
After Micheal Vick was convicted on felony dog fighting charges and banned from the NFL, his former team, the Atlanta Falcons sued him trying to recoup $16 million in signing bonuses. Nice try, but the judge ruled in Vick's favor ruling that because he'd earned the bonuses before he was convicted he's entitled to keep them.
Nick Cannon Goes in on The YBF
Call it celebrity backlash. The usually mild mannered Nick Cannon must be feeling some kind of way about blogger Natasha at The YBF because he tweeted the above comment and this link to her picture shortly after it was announced that Shaquille O'Neal's wife had filed for a legal separation two days after The YBF posted emails that exposed Shaq's longtime affair with Gilbert Arenas' fiance.
Shaq's Wife Just Filed for Legal Separation
in Los Angeles even though they live in Florida. Can you say half?
It Wasn't Not Funny
They say a gang of people walked out on Tracy Morgan's stand up at Carngie Hall Friday night, not because he wasn't funny, but because he was too raunchy. Addressing the steady stream of concert goers leaving the venue Tracy called out, "You want clean Tracy? Turn on your TV."
Ok, then.
Lil Boosie Sentenced to 4 Years in Jail
Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie is going to jail for a lot longer than originally expected. Back in September Boosie was sentenced to serve 2 years on a 10 year suspended sentence after being convicted on third offense marijuana possession charges. In between the time of his sentencing in September and his appearance in court yesterday, he'd been arrested on gun charges and his ankle bracelet recorded several violations to the terms of his supervised probation. So the judge sentenced Boosie to 4 years and he was taken to jail immediately.

Katt Williams Accused of holding 17 year old against his will
Katt Williams got arrested for burglary while staying at the estate of Aaliyah's uncle [and R Kelly's former manager], music producer Barry Hankerson in Coweta, GA while he's working on a film about Barack Obama. It's also the estate he's accused of burglarizing, which Katt dismisses as "a misunderstanding between me and two stupid detectives." On Sunday night one of the estate employees called the police and reported Katt had used a crowbar to break into a guest house and stolen some jewelry. The jewels have not been recovered and the alleged Katt burglar was released on a $41,000.00 bond. That explains that: But what about this freaky 911 call on November 3rd from a 17 year old boy, who describes himself as Katt's friend, claiming Katt was preventing him from leaving the estate? What's that about?
Rihanna Hurt Bray Bray's Feelings
Cleveland Brown Braylon Edwards saw Rihanna in a LA nightclub and sent her over a $10,000.00 bottle of champagne, but she sent it back claiming she didn't know him, which in turn sent Braylon crying to his Twitter.
