lil Kim Released
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, shelil kim in burqua 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 disagreeAslee Simpson 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..


Jesse MetcalfeJesse Metcalfe had a humiliating evening Saturday, after trying repeatedly and unsuccessfully to enter Teddy's nightclub at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. Metcalfe went from the front door to the back door, but could never get past security.

Metcalfe, who walked the street holding hands with a brunette, looked increasingly frustrated and finally gave up and left.


Who had a birthday this month?  Well Lil Kim did and others..

Who died this month in music?

 What happened this month in musical past?


Seal, Heidi

Seal and Heidi Klum are bout to have another baby, a boy this time.  They have a boy and girl.  Henry and Leni.


Lance BassLance 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.

Reichen LehmkuhlAfter 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."


Game, Ghost Unit PosterWhen 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.

Mary J BligeI 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.


KazaaThe 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. 


Source Mag CoverMore 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.


LL cool JRapper 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.


MoniqueAfter 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?


Pharell

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, wife Manuela TestoliniPrince 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 “gGerald Levert in Courtuilty 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 and BuckwildStar 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 lJanet J., Jermaine Dupriots 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.
