The man who provided prosecutors most of the information that led to Michael Vick's arrest was sentenced to two months in prison Friday for his role in the NFL star's dogfighting ring. Tony Taylor of Hampton helped establish Vick's "Bad Newz Kennels" operation and joined in killing dogs but later became the government's chief informant in the case, prosecutor Michael Gill said at Taylor's 10-minute sentencing hearing. "He was the most significant source of information in this case," Gill told U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson. "He did not hesitate in any way." Gill said it would have taken the government significantly longer to build a case against Vick and his three co-defendants had it not been for Taylor, who provided details of more than half of the "overt acts" outlined in the indictment.

Gabrielle Union Continues Tirade Against Black Bloggers
Gabrielle Union continues her tirade against Black bloggers, this time in Vibe magazine. I really don't mind Gabby having her say, but her big upping Perez Hilton saying he doesn't EVER talk bad about Latinos is a flat out lie. Perez regularly dogs out Jessica Alba, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin and others....

The net is buzzing right now 'cause Diamond, who used to be in Crime Mob, showed up on a red carpet sporting a pot belly that everybody assumed was a fetus and that it must be Lil Scrappy's baby. Well, the folks I listen to say Diamond has been spotted getting wasted in Atlanta area clubs and that her being pregnant is unlikely. However, they say ya boy Scrappy does have another baby on the way and that his first baby mama, Erica is gonna be pissed when she finds out.

Naomi Campbell Got Robbed
Oh Boo Hoo! Naomi Campbell was in London at the Led Zeppelin concert when somebody stole her purse. A source says, "As the show ended I ran into her [Naomi] coming out of the VIP exit. She was having a fight with one of the security men. As we passed, she announced to me, "Someone stole my handbag. It had two phones in it!" It has to be somebody she knows, cause she was seated in a luxury box. I guess we'll be seeing whatever naked pictures she has on her cell phones popping up on the Internet pretty soon.

Wayne Has A Dream
XXL magazine asked Lil Wayne about the perception that he's over-saturating the market with his music, to which Weezy replied, "Darling, I don't care what nobody think. Talk to me like you talk to Martin Luther King or Malcolm X. You're not going to ask him about what he thinks about what somebody said about him. You ask him about his greatness, and his greatness only."
Foxy Still Being Foxy
"If they release her today, she'll be back in a week," said Geoffrey Davis, a family friend who has visited the rapper several times since she's been locked up at Rikers. "I love her, and I have her best interests at heart, but I think she needs clinical help with anger management," said Davis, an activist who runs a nonprofit, anti-violence organization in Brooklyn. "She has to deal with that attitude." I wonder what Fox did to make dude run to the press on her like that? And while she might not be getting rehabilitated, she is trying to stay fly. They say she wears Louis Vuitton and Gucci sneakers with her prison jumpsuit - and when they get dirty, someone brings her a new pair.
