Fantasia Barrino says bump what you've heard. She is not messing around with a married man and she did not have his name tattooed on her shoulder. Fantasia told Honey Magazine, " Yes, [the rumors] were all really cute to me. I guess it was something about a guy from T-Mobile? Inaccurate. He was hot, but I think I’m looking for my own man. There’s no boo in my life, I’m married to my career. Right now I’m not really focused on a boyfriend; we all know what happens when you get them… I have no tattoo on my shoulder, [that rumor] was very well put together! I wear my body out more purposefully now and when I’m walking I see people checking, “Like does she have a tattoo there?” As a matter of fact, I’ve never even [met him] before. I think I’d want to be with a guy who’s in the same tax bracket as I am … or higher!"

Who You Gonna Believe? Me or Your Lying Eyes?

Raymond v Raymond Pushed Back
Usher's new cd Raymond v Raymond will not be coming out until sometime next year. Originally scheduled to be released around Christmas, it's now been shelved indefinitely and according to his label it's because the disk is so good. Huh? Yeah. Usher's reps told MTV, “We believe that the album is so strong that we want to give it the opportunity to have the proper setup before coming out.”
Shots Fired
People are still rumbling over the American Music Awards. After Jay Z won the award for Favorite Rap Male Artist, he gave his acceptance speech and at the end said, "Men lie, women lie but numbers don't" and then laughed into the camera. Now since 50 Cents new cd sold a paltry 150,000 copies when it was released last week, it's a safe bet that Jay was taking a shot at Fif who's been running around with Beanie Sigel dissing Jay on any radio station that will let them get on. So yesterday LL Cool J weighed in on his Twitter saying, "numbers don't lie but the people counting them might." I'm guessing L is still a little salty about the whole Jay Z Def Jam presidency thing.

Timbaland Distances Himself From Chris Brown
Chris Brown was supposed to be on a track with Timbaland called Maniac. After thinking better of it and changing the name of the song to The One I Love, they finally decided to just take Chris off the track altogether. While insiders swear it's because of the controversy currently swirling around Chris, the official line is that they did it because of a "creative decision for both parties" adding, "There's nothing against Chris. We love Chris." And it's just a coincidence that Timaband's and Chris' cds are both being released on December 8. <--yeah right.
Day 26 Left Bad Boy Records
and went where? They told BoomBox.com, "Bad Boy is always our family, but we're with Atlantic right now." Well, good luck with that.
Nicole Murphy and Michael Strahan Planning Small Wedding
Nicole Murphy told People Magazine "It's my second time around, and I had the big extravagant wedding when I got married to Eddie. I want to do something really simple. I want the dress to be flowy and elegant, and I'd love all the guests to wear cream, and no shoes on the beach." Nicole and Michael are set to marry June 10, 2010.
Jennifer Hudson
is scheduled to sing at the White House for the President and Mrs. Obama and their guests at a state dinner tonight.
Rihanna Says
"It was like: 'Of course she had to give Jay-Z oral sex to get that deal.' That rumour was everywhere in Barbados and it was so disgusting. It made me feel really weird. I would even be weird around Jay-Z. I wouldn't be able to look him in the eye. One day, he called and he was like, 'Yo, you can't buy into these rumours. You can't let people move you with anything they say.' The rumours got very funny to me after that."

Dr. Conrad Murray
is returning to his practice in Houston today. Also, Katherine Jackson is seriously considering filing a wrongful death suit against him.
Let's Get Ready to Rum-ble!
DMX is getting sued y'all. Remember that celebrity boxing match he was supposed to be participating in and bragged about how he wasn't going to train for the fight because he has a natural gift for kicking ass, and then when he found out the match was real and that he wasn't "scheduled" to win he backed out [click here if you missed that]? Well the boxing promoters are suing The Dog for $1 million dollars. My advice to X, who also just got nabbed by the IRS for failure to pay $1.5 million in back taxes, just fight and take the L, dude.
Rihanna Says
"He has to be good in bed and the size matters. You know what I mean? The inner beauty counts as well, but without a toy it doesn't make it fun. Right now I don't want to have a serious relationship, I want to have fun. I love flirting at the moment. I'm single and I'm enjoying my freedom. But I don´t give my phone number out that often. But if I'm dating, I check the boy from the top to the bottom."
