Chamillionaire:

....want you to know the truth about "Michael Jordan".

Ludacris:

..."stiffed" a law firm in Atlanta for legal fees and expenses.

According to Courthouse News Service:

Carlton Fields P.A. sued the Atlanta-based rapper and his Ludacris Foundation for $61,820 in Fulton County Superior Court. The firm says it defended the rapper, whose given name is Christopher Bridges, in a 2007 complaint for personal injuries and negligence: Lawrence A. Hyde v. Roberta J. Shields, Christopher B. Bridges and Ludacris Foundation.

Carlton Fields claims it also advanced the defendants out-of-pocket expenses. The law firm says it began representing Ludacris in March 2008 but stopped providing legal services in April 2009 as it had not received the outstanding balance of $61,860.20. It wants the money, plus court costs.

Shakira:

...recently revealed that in 2006, she created a new identity and managed to "secretly" enroll in a History Course at the University of California.

According to Shakira:

"I needed a break from me. The universe is so broad, I cannot be at the centre of it. So I decided to go to the university and study history for a summer course, just to kind of switch gears, taste the student life...I used to wear a cap and a big backpack, I looked like a boy. I didn't get recognised. Some people looked at me very suspiciously, a few people asked me, but I told them my name was Isabelle. I would go to university over and over again if I could. I should care less. It has been 20 years, but I still care about my career. I care about the music. I'm not normal,".

Bounty Killer:

..The Jamaican rapper was pulled over by police officers in New Kingston over the weekend. These police officers revealed that a small bag of marijuana was found on the entertainer and that he has been charged with a possession of marijuana.

The rapper who was born as Rodney Price is already on probabtion, following previous charges.

Bounty Killer is schedule to address this issue in court come November.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta:

About a month ago, the cast members sat down to interview with Ryan Seacrest. During this interview, Kim accused NeNe of choking her and NeNe lash out at Kim for slandering her character...

Kim actually reveals that she has no plans to press charges against NeNe. However, she continues to share, the so-called facts that surrounds this "assault" with other media outlets...

Here's the actual video:

Beyonce Knowles:

..want you to know that her annoying voice will echo out of the character "Shine" on the animated DVD for "Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! Wubb Idol".

According to several websites, Shine is the leader of the Wubb Girlz and when Wubbzy appears on the "Wuzzleburg Idol", Wubbzy has hopes of performing with the Wubb Girlz.

Wait, that sounds like Solange's life...

Think - When DestinyChild was performing and Beyonce was the leader of this girl group. Solange wanted to ______________ with the girls from DestinyChild. Instead of becoming a member, Solange performed as a back up dancer.

Now she's a solo-ist...

Funny!

It is also important to note that, Beyonce went on record to state that she wrote the song she sung titled, "Sing-a-Song".

Word around the net...is that...Beyonce don't write her own music.

How ironic, if you're not busy, read through these books and you will find the already written children song titled "Sing-a-Song":

Khandi Burruss

As the second season concludes for, "The Real Housewives of Altanta", Khandi sits down with USWeekly to share her favorite moments on the reality show:

Trick Daddy

..is preparing to release a new album and a book.

In 1998, Trick Daddy was diagnosed with lupus and within his new book, he opens up about his struggles within the inner city and having to live with lupus.

According to Trick Daddy:

“I went to the doctor, like, 12 years ago. She took all kinds of test, because I was trying to get rid of what we call dry skin; she did biopsies and blood tests and swab tests. She told me I have lupus”.

“I am allergic highly to the sun, that’s my worst enemy. It’s like an AK-47 (gun) with a double clip on it, …a lot of people try to cover it up with regular make-up. It makes your skin pigmented. You can go from dark to light and not light to dark. You have to cover it up and conceal it. My mana had 11 children from 10 different men. If she can live with that, I know I can live with this”.

Trick Daddy, you are not alone. Michael Jackson had lupus but his doctor told him that it was...something else. His father had ________ amount of children and it seems as if his sister LeToya is the other child who suffers from Lupus.

Magic City: Trials of a Native Son
Coming Soon...

Queen Latifah:

Are you gay?

Funny!

..if so, the queen of lesbianism is looking for five ladies to accompany her on tour.

These ladies will star in a few of her opening acts as she promotes her new album "Persona".

The ladies that are selected will appear in the print ad for the Covergirl Queen collection.

If you are over the age of 13, click here and don't forget to upload a one-minute video of yourself rapping and singing.

In addition, Latifah has requested that you provide a 250 word essay describing the reasons why you want to "Ignite Your Persona".

Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson is preparing to release a greatest hits album titled, "Number Ones". Many websites are reporting that this album will hit the stores within the U.S.A on November 17th.

The album will consist of a 33 old tracks and 1 new track titled, "Make Me".

Kim Zolciak

Wait - The so-called "celebrity" of, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" has revealed to USWeekly that she's no longer "engaged" to big papa.

Funny - during that episode, Khandi stated that Big Papa showed her a ring that he bought from Kim. Khandi didn't state that, Big Papa shared that he was going to propose to Kim. Clearly, Kim jumped the gun on this one - so to speak.

She also informed that she's no longer friends with cast mate "Nene".

According to Kim:

"I'm not engaged anymore...Big Papa and I ended it. At the end of the day, he will always be the love of my life, but it's time for me to move on..."

In regards to Nene:

"She did strangle me. So that breaks a friendship, right? …I've just moved past it with Nene, and I think her true colors have really surfaced, and they will continue to do so. I wish her the best."

Story Continues...

Lil Wayne

The rapper has confirmed to BBC's Tim Westwood that he's expecting a son with R&B singer (and The Dream's ex-wife) Nivea.

This will become Wayne's fourth child with his fourth baby mother.

Last Year, Lil Wayne's first son Dwayne Carter Jr.'s was born in Cincinnati.

Last month, actress Lauren London welcomed his second son.

Sometime this month, Nivea's baby boy will be born.

Lil Wayne ex-wife Antonia "Toya" Carter is the mother of his only daughter.

Khandi Burruss

Tameka 'TINY' Cottle has re-recorded a song titled, "Superwoman" for Khandi Burruss's upcoming album.

According to Khandi:

"I got Tiny (on the album)... We have this song called Superwoman that we wrote a while back. We just revamped it a little bit. It's talking about single mums that are doing their thing for their children."

Rihanna

..has joined the list of celebrities who "tweets". Rihanna's first "tweet" referenced the release of her upcoming CD.

According to her "Twitter" page:

Bill Cosby

..has entered the genre of Rap music. It's being reported that the comedian has released a rap album titled, "Bill Cosby Presents the Cosnarati: State of Emergency". On the CD, Cosby is listed as executive producer, who is credited for developing the "concepts" for each musical track.

According to Bill Cosby:

"I don't like referring to the music as clean...What I like is what you're not going to do. You're not going to curse. You're not going to put women down. You're not going to put the glory of the gun somewhere. And you're not going to put a whole lot of violence up front like that's the thing that will cleanse you and make you feel better."

The Truth About Tristan Wilds:

Funny - Tristan Wilds's wikipedia page has stated that his acting career begun at the tender age of seven. However, it failed to list his middle school acting roles. Well, allow me to reveal the fact that Tristan grew up on the PBS hit show, "The Electric Company".

Funny - the boy use to freestyle for grammar prior to his gangsta role of the HBO series, "The Wire".

Youtube has a ton of videos from this PBS special, which features the young "Tristan" freestyling, solving puzzles and learning how to comprehend.

Hurry - before his team yank these off of the video stream.

The Soul Train Awards:

Following a two year hiatus, the Soul Train Awards will return to give recognition to those who help shape the sounds of R&B Music.

Many websites are reporting that Actors Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard will co-host this award celebration.

The "Soul Train" series was created by Don Cornelius, who also served as its first host and executive producer, and aired from 1971 to 2006, with reruns continuing until 2008.

Antonio “L.A.” Reid, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Chaka Khan and Charlie Wilson will be honored during a two-hour music special that will be taped in Atlanta, Georgia and aired on Onv. 29 on Centric - a new channel jointly operated by the BET and MTV Networks divisions of Viacom.

Rapper Shyne

It's being reported that Shyne's father wrote a letter to New York's Governor David Paterson to seek a pardon for his son, that will prevent a deportation to his native country of Belize.

According to sixshot news:

Belizean Prime Minister Dean Barrow, the father of former Bad Boy rapper Shyne, has reportedly written to New York Governor David Paterson asking him to pardon his son so that he is not deported back to the Belize - the country of his birth.

Dean Barrow revealed to The Belizean yesterday (October 9) that he sought help from Charles Ogletree - Harvard law professor and a member of President Barack Obama's inner circle to assist Shyne in resisting deportation to Belize.

The prime minister told reporters he wrote the letter to the New York governor at the request of Professor Ogletree.

"I have not had a response," Barrow told reporters. “I have spoken to people close to the governor and I have been assured that the letter has been received and that it is under active consideration. But I can't say that I am able to call in any favors such that would guarantee that he is able to remain in the States."

Barrow also revealed for the first time Friday that shortly after Shyne was sentenced to prison, he had written a letter to the then governor of New York.

In that letter Mr. Barrow said he asked that his son be repatriated to Belize to serve his sentence as that was what Shyne wanted at the time. "That never went anywhere. Just as well as it is now clear that he wants to remain in the U.S.A. to continue his career," stated the Prime Minister.

Larenz Tate:

The tech savvy Actor recently attended the launch event for three new Sony Vaio products and the Windows 7 Operating system at Guastavion's in New York City on October 7th.

Love Jones

During a recent interview with "Clay Cane", Nia Long spoke openly about a possible sequel to the movie "Love Jones":

I have to ask you about “Love Jones.” Are you surprised how people are obsessed with that movie even to this day?

Making the movie, it was just so close to what I know as being Black - Black love. It’s the closest that you were going to ever get in my opinion - that film is timeless. For years, they’ve been saying, “Let’s do a sequel.” I heard that it’s possible there might be a sequel in the works that’s going straight to video with two other actors because I would never do that and Larenz [Tate] wouldn’t either. I think that’s going to be the biggest mistake they could ever make. It’s a cult classic and people love that movie. If you try to serve that up with different actors and a sequel straight to video, you’re going to piss a lot of people off.

I need Nina Mosley! [Laughs]
Right! It’s not even about my own ego, it’s just I do understand what it means to us. I do understand what people expect. Larenz and I made a pact, I haven’t talked to him in years, we would never do it unless it was done properly. There is no reason to touch something that was done so beautifully. Not even us as actors but just the story, the visuals, the dialogue and the music. It was rich with textures.

***
Imagine that, a sequel to Love Jones without the original "Nina and Darius". I am sure Nia Long and Larenz Tate and the producers can work something out.

President Barack Obama:

Our Commander In Chief has won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rightfully so, President Barack Obama stepped gracefully into the "selected" position of Presidency and managed to unite all races. After spending nine months as President of The United States, he has pushed America forward and his critics aside.

Upon hearing that he has won the Nobel Peace Prize, our Commander In Chief made the following statement:

Method Man

..want you to know that it is very important to file your taxes!

According to Method Man:


"When you don't file, that's what happens. I'm learning my lesson...You've got to file. You can't be waiting for the last minute. And I hadn't spoken to my CPA in three or four years. I don't like things being blown out of proportion. Let's be clear. I didn't get arrested for not paying them. I got arrested for not filing. It's not a money thing, because I paid it."


The time has come for these so-called celebrities to handle their own affairs, especially if - not handling them - can lead to serving time in a jail.

Forest Whitaker

....has revealed that he'll star in a remake of "Jekyll And Hyde" along with the rapper / actor 50 Cent.

The project will be based on, "a modern adaptation of the 1886 novel The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde".

According to Forest:

"We're still figuring out what we're going to do, if I am going to be doing that or not - if I end up doing it, I would be playing Jekyll and he would be playing Hyde....They just turned in a new draft, it's based on the book really strongly. It's a father-son kind of relationship. It's also interesting because we are dealing with similar things. You know, this Jekyll has a lot of issues and problems personally, himself. Hidden passions, hidden perversions - and it's acted out by 50. Abel Ferrara directs it. It would be very classic. It will be interesting to play Jekyll. I think he's interesting."

Whitney Houston:

...has confirmed that she will perform live in the UK, on the hit show, X Factor.

Whitney's performance will be televised "live" on October 18th. This will be her first time performing in the UK in over 12 years.

According to Ms. Houston:

"I have always loved my UK fans and I'm thrilled to perform for them on The X Factor. I am also a fan of Simon Cowell's and look forward to meeting him. It should be a fun night."

The Jackson Five
