Lil Kim Facing a Lawsuit
If you hire Lil Kim to host your party, make sure you pay her AFTER she arrives because if you pay her in advance, she might not show up. At least that's what she's being accused of. A London party promoter paid Kim $20,000.00 to make 6 club appearances but she bailed on him the night of the first gig, blaming her no-show on a nose-bleed, then hopped on jet headed back to the U.S.
Rihanna Snubs Dad at Awards Show
Who remembers how vocal Rihanna's father was back when news of her beating first came out? Every other day he was giving a statement to any media outlet who asked, about how appalled he was that Chris had put his hands on his daughter. So imagine my surprise when Rhianna revealed on 20/20 with Diane Sawyer that her father used to beat the shit out of her mother, even breaking her nose one time. I guess that's why Rihanna spent $50,000.00 flying practically everyone in her family to New York from Barbados to see her honored at The Glamour Magazine Woman of the Year Awards, everybody that is, except her father. Burn.
Mike Tyson Got Arrested
at LAX yesterday after he got into a little skirmish with a paparazzi. Ok, it wasn't a little skirmish it was a one punch knock-out. The pap got in Mike's face at the ticket counter, trying to get a picture of Mike and his 10 month old daughter, and Mike socked the shit out of him. Paparazzi Guy hit the ground, gashed his forehead and was taken to the ER and Mike was hauled off to jail. Tyson maintains he acted in self defense and was released on his own recognizance. Both men have been booked on misdemeanor battery charges.

Michael Jackson's Private Funeral Almost Didn't Happen
because the executors of Michael's estate were acting funny with the money, forcing Janet to cough up nearly $50,000.00 at the last minute. After the public memorial for Michael Jackson at the Staples Center in July, the family scheduled a private ceremony at the Forest Lawn-Glendale Cemetery. Three days before the September 3rd internment Ms. Katherine petitioned the estate saying if payment was not received by the funeral home and the Glendale Police Department by Sept. 1, “the funeral will not proceed.” In the mean time Janet had to step in with $50,000.00 to make sure the funeral would not be canceled. The estate eventually repaid Janet and the balance on the funeral which hovered around $900,000.00.
Partial list of the funeral expenses: $35,000 for burial garments; $1,975 for wardrobe for the family; $2,000 for usher costumes ; $3,682 for framing of a photograph of Jackson next to the casket; $959 for embroidery; $11,716 for invitations and programs; $16,000 for flowers; $30,000 for cars and security; $15,000 for a funeral designer; $21,455 for the repast at a restaurant after the ceremony, and not to mention the $5,000 a month they were charged for holding the remains in a temporary vault during the period that the family waited to bury Michael.

Sammy Sosa went on Univision's "Primer Impacto" talk show and spoke about the dramatic change in his appearance admitting, "It's a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some. It's a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some. I'm not a racist, I live my life happily." Sammy would not name the cream divulging only that it came from Europe and that, "I'm going to market it, I'm a businessman."
