Fans in Columbus, Georgia apparently aren’t too happy about Keyshia Cole skipping out on performing for them. The rumor is that she didn’t want to go on stage before Ne-Yo. Nevertheless, local artist Loony T didn’t waste time on dissing homegirl on a HILARIOUS remix of some popular songs the singer has done (Let It Go and Last Night).
Damon Dash is reportedly in trouble with the IRS! He owes the state of New York over $2 million in taxes. But I’m sure he’ll be able to get that paid without him having to go to jail, seeing as he owns a $400,000 Maybach sedan with a chauffeur, several diamond-encrusted watches and over 1,000 pairs of sneakers. That’s a little over a million dollars, right? He can make up the rest of that ghetto myspace thing he’s working on. I hear they have like 23 members now.
But back to the story. You celebrities are gonna get enough of hiring these run-of-the-mill accountants who “forget” to file your taxes! I bet you their taxes are paid in full, and probably with YOUR money!
T.I. might actually have a shot at winning this! His current goal is making evidence seized from his car and statements he made to authorities inadmissible in court. The rapper claims both were illegally obtained. Clifford’s team of attorneys filed motions Monday in U.S. District Court seeking to suppress evidence seized from his vehicle and statements he made when he was arrested on October 13, according to the Associated Press.
The defense says the officers had no warrant, consent or probable cause to search T.I.’s vehicle. They want statements the rapper made to agents thrown out on the grounds that T.I. may not have talked voluntarily and that he may have been detained improperly. The lawyers also said more details would be filed later.
Though the judge didn’t immediately respond, according to an email from a federal prosecution spokesperson, he will respond in court. And I, for one, definitely cannot wait to hear what the judge has to say.
Damn these rappers are getting old! Lol, anyhow, Fabolous and some of his celebrity friends hit up AZZA Restaurant and Lounge in NYC last night to celebrate his 30th birthday. Angie Martinez, Cassidy, and Danity Kane were a few of the celebrities on the guest list. And speaking of Danity Kane … am I the only one who feels sorry for them? Everytime I see them out somewhere and just sit and think, “Damn, Diddy did these girls so wrong!” And where the hell is “Making the Band 4?” Do they even have a friggin name yet??? Oh wait, this is supposed to be about Fabolous’ birthday … my bad!
Trey Songz put his “male model” face on once again for another fashion magazine spread. This time around it’s the December 2007 issue of Blackmen Magazine. The latest news surrounding Songz is his recent arrest in Springfield, MA. He’s considering taking legal action against the police department for wrongfully arresting him and his entourage. Oh yeah, and ake sure you pick up that album “Trey Day” if you haven’t already!
Ne-Yo called in to Big Tigger’s radio show on 95.5 yesterday to speak on the craziness surrounding the Double Up tour with he and R Kelly. As we reported yesterday, he was dropped from the tour and he cleared the air and talked about the REAL reason why he was dismissed. Ne-Yo went on to say that he still has respect for R Kelly as an ARTIST, but as a person … some (if not, all) respect has been lost. And I don’t blame him! Let me sum it up for you:
1. The venue in Columbus, Georgia only has 7 dressing rooms. Guess how many Mr. Robert Kelly wanted to use? All 7! Fortunately for Ne-Yo, his people worked it out, and Ne-Yo and his dancers eventually got one of the rooms.
2. He was told that he and his crew had 4 hours of rehearsal time, but R Kelly only wanted him to have 2 so he would physically go out there and try to rush them off of the stage.
3. Reviews from the show have primarily been focusing on Ne-Yo’s set and Kellz is a little pissed about that. Kind of childish if you ask me…
4. And this is the icing on the cake … no one was allowed in the hallways when R Kelly was walking through. Who the hell does he think he is??? I mean really, it ain’t that damn serious.
5. Ne-Yo’s not sure what’s going on as far as the Keyshia Cole rumor because he hasn’t heard anything from her or her people.
6. He apologized to all of his fans for not being able to be on the tour and speaks highly of J Holiday and Keyshia saying that they’re “doing their thing.” And he ends with telling them (his fans) to “support R Kelly if they feel like it” LMAO!
So he’s not trying to start any beef, he’s just speaking the truth. No harm in that right? I’d like to hear what Kellz has to say about this. And we have YET to hear Keyshia’s side to the story. Ne-Yo’s the only one being real with us.
Tyra was the only one who was granted an all access pass behind the scenes of “The Beyonce Experience” tour. Here talk show host Tyra can be seen in the entertainer’s dressing room modeling the infamous “20-flight” coat, as I like to make reference to. I still love you Beyonce!
Dolce and Gabbana always has had some edgy adverts but some of them often left me confused as to what one has to do with the other. In the 2007 “Time” (custom designer watches by D&G) commercial two male (and female) models could be seen kissing the same sex, I know y’all seen it on tv lol, To view the commercial CLICK HERE.
This is disturbing on so many levels. Ain’t nobody hatin’ on this pedophile mess! Think about Chris Brown and Madonna … Ew! Who approved this? The whole shebang looks rather awkward and “suggestive”. Not to mention the blatant subliminal messages factorized, implicating the woman role as “submissive” and/or “defenseless” to the role of a male (preferably old, Caucasian male) in this case. Call me a hater, call me a radical revolutionist, I really do not care. I understand it’s “just a photo shoot,” but think about all of the RSP’s (Random Stupid Ppl) that will see this, “Rihanna likes old, white men,” “Ooh, they F*cking!,” “[insert negroid comment here],” etc. CONTINUE READING
Dr. Jan Adams, the now infamous doctor who performed a botch plastic surgery operation on Kanye West’s mother, who was laid to rest yesterday in Oklahoma City, went on Larry King Live last night to discuss all of the accusations and allegations brought against him in the wake of Dr. Donda West’s untimely death. But minutes into the interview, Dr. Adams brought it to Larry King’s attention that he was respecting the family’s wishes by not speaking at this time. How professional! =)
“I want to thank you for this opportunity,” Adams told King. “Basically, I had come here to talk about things in the press that aren’t accurate about me. … But I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for the West family. They asked me not to go on. And I’ve said from the very beginning, I don’t have a side in this. … They are my side, and I’m going to respect their wishes. I’m going to apologize to you because I think I’m taking up your airtime, but I will not be on the show and I will not discuss any of that. I’m going to honor their wishes.”
A confused King then asked, “Will you ever answer questions … Where does this go?” Adams responded, “I will talk with them. When they’re comfortable, then I’ll be comfortable. If they’re never comfortable, then I’ll never be comfortable. They are what’s important to me.”
Trying to salvage the interview, King then prefaced his next question by saying it wasn’t about the family and asking, “Don’t you want to speak out?”
Removing his earpiece, Adams said simply, “No … I do not,” and then walked off the set. “The whole night was crazy,” King said this morning on CNN, noting that Adams’ plane was delayed and he was late for the taping to begin with. Once the doctor had arrived, King was told that Adams was speaking to his lawyers in the green room and was not sure if he was going to come on camera or not, even as the taping had already begun with a panel of experts discussing the case while King awaited his guest’s arrival.

Chis Brown’s official myspace debuted his brand new video for “With You” today. This makes the third video off of Chris’ new album “Exclusive,” which is currently sitting at #4 on the Billboard 200. I can’t really say I’m feeling the video. It’s kind of boring, but I like the song. What’s your opinion on Chris’ new video?
In other CB news, his new movie “This Christmas” hits theaters nationwide today, November 21st. So make sure you round up your family and check it out this weekend! I hear it’s pretty good.
NE-YO PERFORMING IN ATLANTA // BEN ROSE FOR WIRE IMAGE
Not even a week into the tour, and the drama just keeps unfolding. First the Keyshia Cole incident and now this! The latest gossip circulating about R Kelly’s “Double Up” tour is that show opener Ne-Yo has been dropped. “I am disappointed that I won’t be able to perform for my fans,” he said said in a statement from Def Jam. “I love being on stage in front of fans because of the immediate feedback you get. You know right away if they are feeling you; and they were really feeling our show.”
Since the show’s opening in Columbus, Georgia, the concert reviewers have taken a liking to Ne-Yo’s set particularly and my guess is that R Kelly didn’t like that. So he did what any man with ego problems would do … he booted his ass! Jive (R Kelly’s label) is saying that there’s no animosity between Kellz and Ne-Yo and the reason for Ne-Yo’s departure has something to do with some legal mumbo jumbo. But don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes. We all know the real reason… I know Keyshia’s happy though!
Well, I posted, not to long, about Chingy’s new video, “Fly Like Me” featuring Amerie, would soon premiere on BET’s Access Granted. So here it is for the peeps that messed it!
