Dumb rappers getting their chains tooken [his words, not mine] at gun point is not very blogworthy to me, hence my delay in posing this clip, but police officials throwing subliminal shade while speaking to the press about said robbery is. Get your life!
“This robbery was off the chain.” This shit right here . . . .
Pat your weave ladies. Pat, pat your weave ladies.
Anyone with a remote knowledge of the music business understood that since Rowland was signed to Columbia Records via a production deal with Music World Entertainment, the company founded by Mathew Knowles, it was inevitable that her deal with Columbia Records was compromised once the 28-year-old singer ended her management agreement with Knowles back in January.
Now my sources tell me that the real reason the story about Rowland leaked the way it did last week was so that no one would realize that Geffen/Interscope Records has opted not to further their relationship with Knowles’ daughter Solange Knowles.
The eclectic singer’s sophomore release ‘Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams’ has only sold around 138,000 units since its release in August of 2008 and Geffen/Interscope didn’t see the value in doing a new CD on her.
“Geffen did a one-off deal with Music World Entertainment for Solange and wasn’t interested in doing a new contract with her.
Now before you go in on me for posting a picture of pre-op Lil’ Kim let’s focus on the issue at hand. Don’t expect to see her standing in line at the box office next Friday.
Kimbo recently publicized that she has no plans of supporting the film ‘Notorious’ and blames Big’s mother, Voletta Wallace, and his widow, singer Faith Evans, for what she calls a negative portrayal.
“I’ve had enough and I’m about to expose them both. … I’ve been quiet for a long time,” Kim was quoted as saying by Hip-Hop Weekly. “I’m very disappointed in Faith. There’s nothing Faith or Ms. Wallace could do to stop me from reppin’ B.I.G. all day. I’m gonna always do that. … It’s time for Ms. Wallace to be exposed.
“I was not involved in the movie,” she continued. “[The filmmakers] never came and asked me anything about Biggie, but again, this was Faith and Ms. Wallace’s movie,” Kim told the tabloid about her thoughts on the biopic. “I couldn’t believe it. I was outraged,” adding that she thought Naturi Naughton was a bad choice to play her and that Jamal Woolard was a poor choice to portray Big.
I guess its safe to say that Tionne’s little garage sell last month wasn’t a success. TMZ reports that her nearly 10,000-sq. ft. home will be auctioned off in January 2009. T-Boz defaulted on the original principal of her mortgage [around $530,000] and so now the state is taking the five-bedroom house.
Time to move in with Takeo!
Looks like Linnethia [I would want pople to call me NeNe too, shit] is going to have to find a new place to lay her head and comatose tittays. Time for a rent party! I’ll make the potato salad.
NeNe Leakes, the breakout star of the hit Bravo reality show “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” is no longer living at the pricey Duluth five-bedroom residence shown on the series.
According to Darryl Pierce, the broker for the 5,000-square-foot home at 1765 Silvermere Court in Duluth, NeNe and her husband, Gregory Leakes, left in November after Winwood Properties filed an eviction notice in September.
The notice, filed Sept. 24 with the Magistrate Court of Gwinnett County, said Greg Leakes owed $6,240 in past due rent. “The tenant said they would move by Sept. 14th because they could no longer afford the house,” the notice said.
The owner of the home, Kajani Shenaz Ali, lives overseas, Pierce said. Online records show the home in the gated community of Stonebrier at Sugarloaf, was purchased for $829,400 in September 2006. Pierce said the Leakeses moved into the home shortly after it was built in 2006.
NeNe Leakes, in a series of e-mails Tuesday, would not say where she is living now. “It’s none of your business,” she wrote. But she noted that they “are financial able [sic] and stable to live where ever we feel fits.”
Don’t get the title? Watch 8 Mile the next time it comes on MTV in the middle of the day.
I’ve accidentally done a lot of shit in my life. I can say however for the past 23 years I have managed not to shoot any one else with a gun – - and damn sure not myself.
This muthafucka right here can’t.
Nearly three days after accidentally shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub, Giants receiver Plaxico Burress turned himself in at a New York City police precinct in midtown Manhattan on Monday morning to face charges of criminal possession of a handgun.
At 8 a.m., Burress, escorted by his lawyer, stepped out of a black Cadillac Escalade and walked calmly into the 17th Precinct station house at East 51st Street and Lexington Avenue — three blocks north of the night club where the incident took place — as throngs of onlookers, some of them heckling, and reporters stood behind metal barricades. Dressed in jeans and a white shirt with a collar, Burress did not appear to be limping, and said nothing as he entered the precinct.
His lawyer, Benjamin Branfman, emerged moments later and said Mr. Burress would “deal with the legal process in a responsible and professional manner.”
Uncle Ciara may have rocked the stage at 94.9 Wild Jam concert last week but that doesn’t mean she is doing the same on the Billboard charts. Her album Fantasy Ride has been pushed back to 2009. She should link up with Keri Hilson for the ‘But We’re Trying’ promotional tour.
Blame it on the disappointing performance of the first single, “Go Girl,” featuring and produced by T-Pain. Proof that not everything he touches turns into a hit, the sultry dance groove quickly vanished from Billboard’s all-important Hot 100 chart no sooner than it debuted (and peaked) at a modest No. 78. “The response to ‘Go Girl’ wasn’t strong enough to ignite an album,” says a rep for the Zomba Label Group. “It’s a nice setup single because [the video] introduces Ciara’s new look and her new body, but it’s not the opener.” [source]
