Alicia Keys released her "real" cd cover art after her label claimed the other one was fan made. Funny how the "fan" got their hands on the same fonts and filters, but that's their story and they're sticking to it.

Mike Tyson May Have Violated Parole
When Mike Tyson put the smack down on that arrant paparazzo at LAX the other day, he may have violated the conditions of parole on his 2007 Arizona cocaine possession conviction [click here if you missed that]. Mike is maintaining he was acting in self defense, but conviction on this new misdemeanor battery charge could land Mike back in jail in Arizona. Unfortunately, there are witnesses backing both versions of what happened so investigators are looking for video footage of the incident.
Katt Williams Kicked off Barry Hankerson's Estate
and out of the Four Season's Hotel in Atlanta. Saw this coming a mile away. Not the Four Seasons thing, but definitely the Barry Hankerson eviction. Barry Hankerson is notoriously low key and Katt Williams had TV cameras and all kinds of random interviewers, not to mention his 17 year old boy toys, all up and through Barry's estate. Katt also got kicked out of the Four Seasons Hotel not long after Hankerson gave him the boot. Katt told The Atlanta Journal and Constitution that he'd purchased a penthouse at the hotel and also rented 7 suites, that he paid for in cash up front, and that he doesn't understand why they put him out. Maybe because he's lying? The Four Seasons told the AJC that Katt had made no such purchases.

Egyptologist Calls Beyonce a Dummy
Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s chief Egyptologist, called Beyonce a "stupid person" while speaking to journalists about Beyonce's recent tour of the Giza pyramids near Cairo. Hawass said, "I showed her the Sphinx and I gave her a book on King Tutankhamen. She’s a stupid person and she doesn’t understand a thing and she doesn’t want to understand... She’s coming here to take pictures and that’s it."
Gucci Gon to Jail
Gucci Mane just got picked up for probation violations and will spend a year in jail.
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.
Omarion Says
“No disrespect, but no Amber Rose for me. Everybody has their past - and don’t get me wrong, I’m not judgmental at all - but I do like a certain amount of class.”
