Queen Latifah

is being sued by a make-up artist and a stylist who claim she owes them $1 million dollars combined. Roxanna Floyd says she lost $700,000 when the rapper-actress failed to pay her for work she did between July 2005 and February 2008. In a separate lawsuit, celebrity fashion stylist Susan Moses said she was cheated of $300,000 during the same period.
The lawsuits were filed Monday in federal court in Manhattan.

Another Scandal At Oprah's School

Seven girls have been expelled from Oprah's South African Leadership Academy for Girl's for sexual misconduct. A South African newspaper reported the girls allegedly tried to force pupils into relationships with one another and to touch each other intimately. This is the second incident of sexual misconduct at the school in two years. In 2007 a school matron was fired amid sexual and physical abuse allegations.

Lisa Halliday, senior vice president of communications for the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation in Chicago, said the girls had violated the school's code of conduct.

"We consider this to be a confidential school matter," she said. "Therefore, we will not confirm any personal information or disclose any details related to these expulsions."

Jennifer Hudson

who recently set her wedding date, has decided to design her own wedding gown. She says, “I’m gonna design my own dress. I want to design it… Definitely classic, more traditional than anything. I want it to be nice and traditional, but very classy, very classy.”

Contrary To Reports

Rihanna is still cooperating with prosecutors on her battery case.

Isiah Washington Did Not Get Evicted

because he moved out before they could do it. Isaiah Washington and his wife Jenisa were facing eviction from their L.A. home after skipping five months rent and racking up $100,000.00 in debt, but before they got set out on the street they voluntarily agreed to leave. They were last seen packing up and moving out March 30.

Max B Running His Mouth All Over Jim Jones Woman

Before you start with the, "Who are Max B and Chrissy?", I'll give it to you in a couple of nutshells. Max was a Dip Set/Bryd Gang affiliate who released and couple of cds, plus wrote 'We fly High' for Jim Jones. Then he got arrested for allegedly helping this stripper rob a D-Boy who ended up dead. Max is still facing murder charges in that case and last I heard the stripper had turned states evidence against him. The trial is scheduled to start in April 2009. Anyway, Max B and Jimmy fell out after Jim forced Max to sell him his publishing rights for $90,000.00 so Max could bail himself out of jail. Jim's wifey Chrissy is legendary around Harlem way for having kicked it with the biggest of ballers; From Diddy to Jay Z to Damon Dash and countless other high level Dope Boys.

Suge's People Tell Akon's People To Stop Snitching

Andre 3000

was arrested on I-75 in Henry County GA today for going 104 mph in a 65 mph zone. When the cops caught up to him, 'Dre's excuse was that he was in a hurry to get to a friends birthday party.

Rihanna Is Angry

According to Fox News, RiRi is furious that pictures of her battered face were leaked to the public and that she was identified as the victim in the Chris Brown assault case. So pissed is Rihanna at the LAPD's lack of discretion that she's allegedly stopped cooperating with prosecutors and just "wants the whole thing" to go away. Too bad she already gave a statement and let them photograph her face...

They Say

Kelly Rowland got dropped by her record label.

Sole' Says

fuck what ya heard she did not leave her man over no LisaRaye. Well, she didn't exactly say it like that because she's saved now, but she told Sister 2 Sister's Jamie Foster Brown, "I was like, that's funny. First of all, I'm not packing up no four kids and disrupting their lives in the middle of the school year, I don't care what he did. That's just foolish. But they were reporting this like they had seen me out here packing up my bags."
Solé heard about the LisaRaye rumor through a friend of the family. "I believed it wasn't true from the beginning," Sole said. "My being upset about it was just the fact that it caught me so off guard."
There's audio of the interview at the source

Pharrell Cusses Out His Audience

T-Pain

suffered a broken jaw and lost four teeth in some kind of freak golf carting accident that forced him to miss several high profile appearances including a video shoot with Lil Kim. They say he and a friend were horsing around and the friend pushed Pain off the cart which resulted in the injuries. Sounds super suspect to me. I mean golf carts only go 3 or 4 miles per hour and keep in mind this is the same dude who concocted that ricidulous lie about how he ended up hosting the BET Awards instead of Kat Williams at the last minute by claiming Kat lost a dance off to him. Which Kat later vehemently denied. Sooooo, can somebody please tell us who kicked T Pain's ass and why? mmmkay thanx!

Just An Excuse To Post This Picture of Mel B In Her Drawers

because I know you could care less that she hasn't spoken to her family in eons. Mel B's sister is upset because Mel hasn't spoken to their mother in over 5 months and blames the former Spice Girl's husband Stephen for the family rift. Mel's sister Danielle told British tabloid News of the World that "Mel hasn't spoken to her own mother in months. She has a husband now so she doesn't find the time. He doesn't help. To be honest, I don't think he's a very nice person." Dani also reveals that their mother is devastated that she hasn't been able to see her grandchildren - ten year old Phoenix Chi from Mel's first marriage to dancer Jimmy Gulzar, and year-old Angel Iris from her brief romance with Eddie Murphy.
