lil kim released.
Rapper Lil' Kim was released from federal detention center in Philadelphia
on Monday after serving nearly 10 months for perjury.
Last year Lil' Kim sentenced to one year and one day in prison, $50,000
fine and will serve three years probation for lying about a 2001 shootout
outside a Manhattan radio station. Besides being a little on the
heavy side, she
remained in good spirits and glad to be out. She has had the
magnifying glass and press on her since she has been out.
The Queen Bee walked out of prison wearing sunglasses, carrying a
bouquet of white roses and a balloon, as she greeted her loyal fans.
Before getting into a silver Rolls Royce, Kim telling her fans, “I
love you.” Kim’s original sentence of 366 days was cut short due to
her model behavior in prison. The Brooklyn-bred MC served nearly 10 months
in prison.
The beloved diminutive rap star must now remain under house arrest for
30 days and will be under supervised release for three years.
Jessica Simpson was
caught yelling at her mom about her sister Ashlee at the Accessories
Council ACE awards. The truth has finally come out and I can't see how
anyone would disagree with Jessica's opinion of Ashlee. "Mom, (said
Jessica) Ashlee is so stupid. She left the popcorn in the microwave and
almost burned the house down." Of the reports, this is the easiest
to believe.. unfortunately..

Seal and Heidi Klum are bout to have another baby, a boy
this time. They have a boy and girl. Henry and Leni.
Lance Bass of NYSNC
just came out of the Closet. He mentioned to People magazine that he
was gay. He has been dating Reichen. The singer says he’s in a
“very stable” relationship with 32-year-old actor Reichen Lehmkuhl, winner
of season four of CBS’ “Amazing Race.” Bass and Fatone, 29, are
developing a sitcom pilot inspired by the screwball comedy “The Odd
Couple,” in which his character will be gay.
Bass, who formed ’N Sync with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone
and Chris Kirkpatrick, tells People magazine that he didn’t earlier
disclose his sexuality because he didn’t want to affect the group’s
popularity. His band-mates are behind him as are many in the music
business.
After
tabloids and gossip sites started tracking Bass and Lehmkuhl's public
appearances together, Lehmkuhl responded in mid-April by posting on his
Web site that he likes to keep his personal life private. "As for the
rumors about me and Lance, please continue to remind people that things
that I do not discuss anymore, such as the private and personal
relationships that I have, are just that " private !!"unless I choose to
open up with details to my family and close friends for reasons of support
and love," he wrote. "I wish people could allow that part of me for, well,
just me and who I choose to share my life with and love ... and to leave
it well enough alone."
When
Game talks about "one blood," he's not talking about plasma. The Compton,
California, MC is shouting out his affiliation and letting the world know
his new album, The Doctor's Advocate, is coming soon. On Monday, he
released his new song. The beat incorporates a sample and loop of
Junior Reid's reggae classic "One Blood." According to Game's camp,
newcomer Reefa produced the track. "The 'Math gonna drop him, if 50
ain't rockin' with him no more," Game raps, referencing the rumors that he
had been dropped from Dr. Dre's Aftermath label in the wake of his beef
with 50 Cent. "Everybody knows I'm the heir to the Aftermath
dynasty," he continues, reaffirming his allegiance to the Doc. We
gave him some really hot records," Dre of Cool and Dre said recently in
L.A. "We gave him this record with Mary J. Blige. [It's] another soulful
record. Mary flipped it. We was in the studio — it was Mary, me and Cool,
Game. The record is so beautiful.
I believe the Mary song is called 'People.' Then we did a record with
him that's so phenomenal that's up for first single status. This record is
called 'Stop.' The Doctor's Advocate has a November 7 release date,
and while "It's Okay (One Blood)" is still considered just a street single
— not the proper first single — there are plans in motion to shoot a video
for it. There's a Scott Storch-produced cut called "Strip Club" that is
being talked about as the official first single, but no plans have been
finalized.
The Recording Industry Association of America announced on Thursday
(July 27) that the peer-to-peer network reached an out-of-court settlement
with the
major music companies to settle international litigation against the
operators of Kazaa brought in the U.S. and Australia.
Kazaa's owner, Sharman Networks, has agreed to pay the world's four major
record companies the EMI Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Universal
Music Group and Warner Music Group more than $100 million, according to
a spokesperson for the International Federation of the Phonographic
Industry, which brought the action along with the RIAA. Under the terms of
the settlement, Kazaa will also introduce filtering technology that will
ensure it doesn't distribute copyright-infringing music or movie files in
the future.
Lindsay
Lohan collapsed on the set of her new movie "George O'rule" on Tuesday the
25th. She was over heated and dehydrated, a bad combo.
More trouble for “The Source” magazine as 3 angry creditors want to
force the magazine into bankruptcy. The creditors filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against the Source Enterprises Inc. which
could force a liquidation sale. There is been an on again off again on
again off again auction for the stock of the magazine but right now no one
can make heads or tales of the mess. Marc Ecko was in the running to take
over the stock but who knows if hes even interested now that the magazine
is still up in limbo. Earl “Butch” Graves, Jr., the CEO of Black
Enterprises and a key architect of the new ownership team that is trying
to restore “The Source” to its former glory, was fuming over the
bankruptcy petition. “Everyone who is a creditor will now have to come to
the court and negotiate,” said Graves.
At this point “The Source” is dead. The need to let the magazine go and
move on. Cut your losses and find something else to do or start a all new
magazine. Like I said in my other post about Teen People going 100%
online, The Source needs to do the same. It’s not a bad business model and
they will have less problems and more revenue.
Rapper and Actor LL Cool J can now add more money to his bank role as
he has just signed at 7 figure development deal with CBS. The deal is
structured so that he can work with any production studio he pleases. The
interest in LL Cool J from CBS came about when they saw his acting skills
on the Fox show “House.” The loved him so much that they started thinking
about adding him to the CBS development pool to bring new and original
shows to the network. The deal also bring along Alchemy Entertainment’s
Jason Barrett, will serve as producer on any project the rapper-actor
signs onto. The will focus on producing new dramas to being to the
network. I’m curious to see what he can put together.
After almost a
week since Monique experienced racism on United Airlines flight 680 from
Chicago to New York, United Airlines Rep’s have decided to apologize. But
the time for that has pass as Monique, now under legal council, is not
accepting calls from United. “Talk to my lawyers,” is now the only
statement that United Airlines Rep’s trying to reach out to apologize to
Monique will hear. No word as of yet on what plans of action Monique’s
legal team plan to take against United Airlines…but we will keep you
updated in the developments on this case. Just because you are a
celebrity does not change that she is woman of color huh?

Even though Jacob the Jeweler was having some legal problems it didn’t
stop him from blinging out a BlackBerry for Pharrell. I’m not sure why he
would want a 18K BlackBerry and it doesn’t look all that hot. I guess its
just for bragging rights. Pharrell should focus less on blinging out his
technology and more on his next project. But life is substancetive, and we
go on.
Prince is losing
his princess, as his wife of 5 years Manuela Testolini Nelson has filed
for a divorce. The couple was trying to keep the matter on a hush because
the papers were originally filed in May. But someone related to the case
called the local paper and tipped them off. The anonymous tipper said that
the judge was holding up the divorce and they wanted them to investigate
the case and see what was going on. Well I”m sure there are plenty of
women out there that would love be Prince’s 3rd or 4th wife, or
Manny's second husband.
CLEVELAND -- The son of Canton native and O’Jays founder Eddie Levert
changed his plea in a Cleveland courtroom Wednesday. Singer Gerald Levert
avoided a trial on charges of assault and obstructing official business by
entering a “g uilty
plea.”
Levert says he confronted three police officers back in January because
they pulled over his nephew’s mother.
He also apologized for the scuffle that followed. “If there were any way I
could relive that moment, knowing then what I know now, I would have
handled it differently … I would have stayed in the car and left it
alone,” Gerald Levert said. Judge Brian Corrigan ordered Levert to pay
$2,000 to a police charity. He’ll also be placed on one year’s probation.

Star from
Star and Buckwild will not face charges for his stupidity. Even
though he rightly lost his job on the air for his stupid and dangerous
remarks, some thought that he should be held liable for his behavior.
No one would have blamed the judge if he
did go after Star but this is what happened...

JD has been out and about doing l ots
of promotion for his future wifey. JD was recently caught by Contact music
saying, “Only Janet records sound like her. I always look and think,
where’s Beyonce going to be in 20 years?’ It’s hard for me to visualize. I
don’t put them on the same plane.” JD goes on to talk about how Britney
Spears and Christina Aguilera are Madonna clones and how Janet has been
the trend setting female artist for 20 years. “Artists just need to make
good music. I said to Janet, ‘All you got to do is sing.’ Britney and
Christina Aguilera are all copycats of one person Janet doesn’t go for the
same typical cars and street videos. She was the reason we started to
watch TV. She’s back to her full capacity and blowing it out to the
level”, said JD. Her tracks were hot on the new album. If you
need to check out her new tracks do so immediately.
