"Bad Boy representatives are evaluating a number of options for a larger space in some of New York City's prime traffic areas."  We cannot wait for the new opening, even though I thought the food was alright, sometimes cold when it got to you besides...Kind of joking.. it was ok, hope for better cooks.  On certain days that was true but most times it was ok.  Maybe a new location will be good.

I hope you was watching the MTV Music awards 2007.  We were backstage and around the place, drinking it all in.  Unfortunately not everyone is back and the stories, some are keeping to themselves.  Britney's performance was the talk of the town.  Her clothing was a problem for many.  She looked lost, her costume and dancing was horrible.  She did not look like she wanted to be there.   She needed to tighten up her body, she was good for two kids and she just looked entirely uncomfortable but hey... Maybe she should have watched this one on TV, she was not ready at all.   Not a good start to her comeback.  50, and Diddy were some her friends that wee without words from this performance.  She was the real talk of the MTV awards and none good.. sorry. Even Simon Crowell chimed in, saying that he would have kicked Britney off the stage.  Well now, Justin Timberlake has had problems of late, right after the awards, he had to cancel concerts because of vocal strain.  Timbaland is upset, he & Justin Timberlake felt dissed by Britney this last weekend. 

To add insult to injury, Britney went to court for a child custody hearing and the judge issued a court ordered test.  Random drug tests and also child rearing classes for the star.  Her and her ex are trying to go for full custody.  Not going to happen according to most on her behalf because of her very public happenings.  It will be hard on her half, mostly because everything she does is in the press.  If she could just lay low, and try hard to do good, mend old relationships with positive people.  Maybe mending fences with Timba and Justin might help her in her career part.  She also will need to go along with keeping out of the party light, stay away from the nightlife altogether and try to be a good mom.

Miss Foxy Brown got the staff, in the worse way, She got 8 more months in prison.  After the debacles with the other celebrities in the news, she got the short end of the stick.  Not erasing what she had done, but I think most of her stuff is blown out of proportion.  People trying to get money out of her bad situation. But she does bring it on sometimes, she needed to lay low and keep out of places that she did not know directly and bring security that would keep her out of trouble.  A lot of stars have security that keep them out of trouble by dealing with problems themselves.

Kanye West and 50 Cent are taking their album release rivalry to BET's airwaves Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET for a special episode of 106 & Park. Each rapper is set to perform new songs on the show, and ESPN's Stuart Scott will break down their legendary careers by the numbers. "Just make sure Kanye West shows up," 50 said. "I'm definitely coming," '50 replied.  The rivalry continued up to the MTV awards and now past.  Kanye is winning by a bit and has cancelled a few interviews of late.  He is not good in interviews when in a potentially hot time, his mouth gets the best of him and he says things out of turn.  I think it is good for him to have cancelled, to keep from saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Not everyone is good in a clutch situation. Now even NY Post is saying that Kanye is too proud to promote.

Lizzie Grubman can drive off into the sunset, now that she has settled the last of the civil suits from her infamous 2001 smash-up in the Hampton's. "It's over," said Lee Bantle, the lawyer for Sarah Thorne, one of the 16 people injured when the public relations princess backed her father's Mercedes SUV into a crowd of people outside the Conscience Point Inn in East Hampton.  Everyone remembers when she ran her car into the crowd after leaving a club to say it mildly.  Grubman has always maintained the incident was an accident. Many witnesses claimed it was anything but, and was the result of her throwing a fit over being denied a parking spot outside the fashionable nightspot. Grubman, now a married mother of two, eventually pleaded guilty to assault and leaving the scene of an accident. She was sentenced to 60 days in jail, unlike Paris, Nicole and others in the public eye.
