Kelis was spotted out yesterday with her son Knight and she was all smiles, but if I was getting $55,000 a month I would be cheesin’ too. I wonder what the baby looks like, I am sure he’s a cutie.
Rumor Alert: Kanye West Reason Behind Kim K. and Reggie’s Break Up
I guess people are saying anything to find the reason between Kim and Reggie’s break up, and now sources are saying Kanye West was part of the reason. Supposedly he was sending Kim some inappropriate text messages, which upset Reggie and caused a big argument between him and Kim. HMM…Interesting I wonder what Amber Rose has to say about this?

AKA President Being Sued
Members of the country's oldest black sorority are suing to remove their president, alleging that she spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of the group's money on herself — some of it to pay for a wax statue in her own likeness.
In the suit filed in Washington, D.C., the Alpha Kappa Alpha members also alleged that international President Barbara McKinzie bought designer clothing, jewelry and lingerie with the sorority credit card. She then redeemed points the purchases earned on the card to buy a big-screen television and gym equipment, the lawsuit said.
"This is extraordinarily shocking if not illegal conduct," Edward W. Gray Jr., an attorney representing the plaintiffs suing the Chicago-based sorority, said Wednesday.
McKinzie denied what she called the lawsuit's "malicious allegations," saying they were "based on mischaracterizations and fabrications ... not befitting our ideals of sisterhood, ethics and service," according to a statement issued this week by the sorority.

NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News Channel commentator Glenn Beck said he believes President Obama is a racist. Beck made the statement during a guest appearance Tuesday on the Fox & Friends morning show. He said Obama has exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."
His remarks came during a discussion of Obama's reaction to the arrest of Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. Gates is black and was arrested for disorderly conduct by a white policeman over a misunderstanding about a break-in at Gates' home.
An Obama spokesman, William Burton, said the White House had no comment on Beck.
Beck's statement was challenged on the air by Fox host Brian Kilmeade, who noted that most of the people who work for the nation's first black president are white.
Does Nas have Another Baby on the Way?
Seems that Nas may be following in the footsteps of Lil’ Wayne because sources are saying that his on and off–again girlfriend is now pregnant. It has not been confirmed that Nas is the father and I hope he isn’t because I don’t think he has another $55,000 to giveaway a month.
Joe Jackson Confirms MJ’s Love Child

Is American Idol Rigged???
According to season eight finalist Ju’Not American Idol is definitely fixed. Today while on a live chat with fans Ju’Not stated, “It's a fixed thing if I ever saw one.” I wouldn’t be shocked if the show is actually fixed, but I wonder if Ju’Not is just a sore loser who is trying to keep his name in the public eye. One thing is clear I see some lawsuits headed Ju’Not’s way.
Rumor Alert: Lil’ Wayne is not the Father of Lauren London’s Baby
Lauren London is currently eight months pregnant and Lil’ Wayne is suppose to be the father of the baby, but according to a source (we all know what that means) some people seem to think other wise. Supposedly Nivea who is also eight months pregnant by Lil’ Wayne thinks that it isn’t possible for him to be the father of Lauren’s baby because he was always booed up with her, and Lil’ Wayne’s ex-wife/baby mama Toya feels the same way. Despite all of the doubters Lil’ Wayne refuses to test the paternity of the baby, but I am sure that will change once the baby gets here.
Guess Who is Getting Involved in Politics
For all you people who watched “I Love New York” and “For the Love of Money” this should definitely be a shocker. The contestant It has decided to run for City Council in New York (how ironic), and as if this isn’t bad enough he has chosen Tailor Mad (who also was on both shows) as his campaign manager. WTF??? For those of you who don’t know who It is just know that he sounds as dumb as he looks in the above pic.
Katherine Jackson’s Request for Michael’s Estate Info Gets Rejected
The legal team for Michael Jackson's mother on Tuesday asked a judge for the power to press the administrators of her son's estate for more information ahead of a key hearing next week, but the judge rebuffed the effort.
Lawyers for Katherine Jackson on Tuesday requested the authority to interview attorney John Branca and former music executive John McClain this Friday, as well as demand they produce business contracts and other documents related to the late pop star.
Her lawyers argued in a court filing that the information was "potentially crucial" to a hearing set for Monday that could determine the permanent representatives of Jackson's estate, which is estimated to be worth more than $500 million.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff put off dealing with their request until Monday, effectively quashing it.
Ciara and Her Wig Get Put on Full Blast
For the past few days Ciara has been rocking a new short due and trying to pull it off as if it is her natural hair. Ciara is crediting her stylist Kiyah Wright for the new hairstyle but her ex-hairstylist Shirlena Allen is not too happy with this because she claims she is the one who originally styled her hair that way. Peep what Shirlena had to say about Ciara below.
Sorry to say Ciara’s pic in short hair Kiyah did not do , I did the photo shoot with Derek Blanks. Now the one with her and Kiyah ,is Kiyah’s work. Two different styles , the wig used and work on the photo shoot she doesn’t even want to pay me for for , let alone I ask for the wig back a year ago, she says she cant find it. There is a huge difference in work, mine’s is a little more sexy. She has no identity. Still trying to find a look
The pics of Ciara on the post for her twitter is my work, the beautiful makeup head shot was done a year ago in Atlanta, that other crap is Kiyah, wack . Please make a correction. We spent hours trying to find this child a look and she still bites and don’t listen to a list . She’s a year behind all of it . Crazy !, she would have been rocking it all before all if she listen ,now she looks like a knock off
Wow…Ci-Ci has really pissed her off. Who would of ever known that some hair, fake hair at that, could cause so much drama.
Michael Vick is Reinstated in the NFL
Michael Vick is back in the NFL. Now all he needs is a team to play for. Vick, free after serving 18 months in prison for running a dog fighting ring, was reinstated with conditions by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday. He could participate in regular-season games as early as October.
Vick can immediately take part in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games -- if he can find a team that will sign him. A number of teams have already said they would not.
Once the season begins, Vick may participate in all team activities except games, and Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19) at the latest.
Goodell suspended Vick indefinitely in August 2007 after the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback admitted bankrolling a dog fighting operation on his property in Virginia. At the time, Goodell said Vick must show remorse before he would consider reinstating him.
"I accept that you are sincere when you say that you want to, and will, turn your life around, and that you intend to be a positive role model for others," Goodell said in his letter to Vick. "I am prepared to offer you that opportunity. Whether you succeed is entirely in your hands."
Diddy’s Restaurant Behind in Taxes
The IRS has its sights on Sean "Diddy" Combs' Atlanta spot Justin's Restaurant, claiming it owes $7,373 in federal taxes, reports the Detroit News, citing public records. The restaurant, named in honor of his son, opened in 1998 and specializes in upscale Southern and Caribbean cuisine. An identically named restaurant in New York City closed a few years ago.
Michael Jackson’s Autopsy points finger even more at dr. conrad murray
It was reportedly a chaotic scene inside the bedroom of Michael Jackson on June 25 -- clothes strewn around the stifling hot room, handwritten notes papering the walls.
The King of Pop , for all intents and purposes, was dead -- killed, ABC News has learned, by a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs that included Oxycontin and Demerol.
But according to the Associate Press, investigators believe it was Dr. Conrad Murray who injected the pop icon around midnight with propofol, the power anesthetic authorities believe ultimately killed him.
"This doctor is in serious trouble," criminal defense attorney Roy Black told "Good Morning America" today.
Murray, whose Houston office was raided by local and federal authorities last week, has already been named in court papers as the subject of a manslaughter investigation.

Octomom Gets A Reality Show
Just when I thought I was done hearing about all the foolishness that involved Nadya Suleman aka “Octomom” I find out that she is getting a reality TV show deal for $250,000. Nadya signed a deal with a European TV Company to star in a reality show with her 14 children for three years. According to the contract she will receive $125,00 for 36 days of shooting for the first year, $75,000 for 21 days in the second year, and $50,000 for 14 days of shooting in the third year. As required by California law 15% of the money will be put into a trust fund for the children, so at least the kids will benefit.

Beyonce in Talk to Stay in Las Vegas
Beyonce and her mama Mrs. Knowles are in talk with Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas to schedule Beyonce to do a year round tour there for 3 years, similar to those of Celine Dion and Toni Braxton. As of now nothing is set in stone and personally I don’t see this happening anytime in the near future because Beyonce’s career is to big to be scheduled in just one city.
What is Wrong with this Commercial???
Recently there have been all kind of commercials on television advertising a website that is suppose to be able to answer any question. Usually I think the commercials are funny but the latest commercial seems just a little stereotypical, not so much because it was about weave but because of the way the lady reacted in the end. I may be over analyzing the commercial, but now I know where "natural weave" comes from (not that I ever cared). Click the picture below to watch the commercial and let me know what you think???.
The Queen is Rapping Again
The world sees plenty of Queen Latifah (real name Dana Owens) these days -- at movie theaters, on magazine covers, in CoverGirl ads -- but it rarely hears new music from her. Latifah's last two albums consisted entirely of jazz and soul standards.
"Trav'lin Light," released in 2007, sold 263,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and "The Dana Owens Album," which came out three years earlier, sold 730,000.
Recently, Latifah went back to rapping (and yes, singing) on everything from a Lady Gaga remix to a Rhymefest mix tape. "Persona," her first album of new material since 1997, is due August 22 on Flavor Unit Entertainment.
Redman & Method Man Talk on the Nas and Kelis Drama

I want more Ass-whoopins!
It has been reported the Chris Brown and Rihanna checked into the same hotel in separate rooms and were seen taking decoy vehicles around New York. Also, they are allegedly recording a duet together soon.
So, either these people are engaged in wishful thinking, or Rihanna likes the fact that Chris has a little Ike Turner in him. Hope she does like J-Lo and takes boxing lessons! LOL
A Preacher’s Kid is Educating Church Goers about Secular Music
Unlike those before him who were ostracized and condemned by traditional churchgoers and religious radicals for singing non-sacred sounds, Morton has decided to educate churchgoers rather than rebelling against them.
The 28-year-old singer, who is the son of renowned pastors Bishop Paul S. Morton (Changing a Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church in Atlanta) and Dr. Debra B. Morton (Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church in New Orleans), has written a new book called 'Why Can't I Sing About Love?' that dispels the myth that all Christian singers must record and perform gospel music.
"I hope that the book causes people to see how big God is and that His affects reach far beyond the church and church music," he explained. "Also, I want people to realize that if we believe that the Bible is truly God's word, we can't overlook certain parts, specifically the book of love songs in the Bible. He created those as well."
Click to read.Black News: Investigations Being Done in Jackson Case Leaks
Investigators are looking into whether employees at the Los Angeles County coroner's office illegally leaked information about Michael Jackson's death probe to the news media, according to a sheriff's spokesman.
Police stand outside the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office when Michael Jackson's body was there in June.
Vivid descriptions of Jackson's corpse, which was in the coroner's custody for an autopsy, were published by tabloid newspapers in the days after his death.
The Los Angeles County Supervisors office on Friday asked the sheriff to conduct a "preliminary inquiry," which will determine whether there is enough evidence to launch a full investigation, said Steve Whitmore, a sheriff's spokesman.
Whitmore did not provide details on what prompted the request.
The Los Angeles Times quoted Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas as saying his office called the sheriff's department after reports that coroner's employees not involved in the Jackson death probe had viewed his death certificate in the office database.

Updated | 2:48 p.m. E. Lynn Harris, the best-selling author of novels that addressed questions of identity and sexuality among black men, has died, his publicist told The Associated Press. He was 54.
According to his official biography at his Web site, Mr. Harris was born in Flint, Mich. and raised in Little Rock, Ark. At the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, he was the school’s first black male Razorbacks cheerleader and was a lifelong fan of the team. He sold computers for a living until he self-published his first novel, “Invisible Life,” in 1991; it was picked up by Anchor Books in 1994, spawning a prolific writing career spanning ten more novels, from “Just As I Am” in 1994, to “Basketball Jones,” published in January, as well as a 2004 memoir, “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted.”
In a review of Mr. Harris’s 2006 novel “I Say a Little Prayer” in The New York Times Book Review, Troy Patterson wrote that Mr. Harris “has helped bring taboo topics — like closeted black men indulging their sexuality ‘on the down low’ — into mainstream conversation.” From his debut with “Invisible Life”, Mr. Patterson wrote that Mr. Harris offered a writing style that “was smoothly paced, and the prose occasionally opened up on Fitzgerald-lite moments of sparkling sentiment.”
Michelle Williams Celebrates her B-Day
Michelle Williams celebrated her birthday yesterday last night in London.
Her group mate Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z was there to join in the celebration.
Neither one of her Destiny’s Child group mates were able to make the party but I just wanted to post a pic of Kelly Rowland from her concert last night in Las Vegas because she looked absolutely gorgeous. I think it is noticeable who my favorite member of DC3 is.
Is Beyonce a Fake???
According to the New York Post Beyonce has been lying about some of the tracks she has written, and that she actually paid others to say she wrote them. Read what the Post is reporting below.
Ms. Jay-Z has been called out by two different R&B ladies for not writing songs she claims are hers. According to Rap-Up magazine, Chrisette Michele revealed that Beyonce's hit single "Ego" was originally meant for her own album "Epiphany" but she decided to hand it over to the Queen B. And here is the shady part: The track is credited to producer Elvis Williams, Beyonce Knowles and Harold Lilly ... not vocal Goddess Chrisette. (Update: Beyonce was not mentioned by Christette as a writer on "Ego" when offered the song, which she turned down but did not write).
Michele says, "It was really scary for me to release my pen because I had written my first album myself. You don't know if they're going to be able to capture your voice the same way that you captured it yourself."
Something about these rumors seem a little sketchy because it is pretty obvious that someone is a Beyonce hater.

Kelis is One Lucky Baby’s Mama
Now last week I told you all about Nas not paying the $5,000 a month in child support to Kelis and that she was complaining that he only gave her a gift certificate for a few thousand dollars. Well now the baby is here and the entire situation has changed. Kelis has been awarded $55,000 a month in child support from Nas and in addition to this he must pay for the baby’s nurse, prenatal expenses, medical insurance and $35,000 to Kelis’ lawyer. DAMN who would of ever thought that Nas had bank like that??? I see him filing for bankruptcy some time in the near future.
Kelly Speaks about Destiny’s Child Reunion
American R&B singer Kelly Rowland has scotched reports suggesting a reunion between her and her former Destiny’s Child band mates, Beyonce and Michelle Williams.
Rumors recently surfaced that the three, who had parted ways in 2005, were heading back into the recording studio to make a fifth studio because they were said to be contractually obliged to Sony Music subsidiary Columbia Records to deliver another project.
But Rowland insists that there is no such album or contract clause, and that there has been no talk of a reunion just yet.
"There is no Destiny’s Child album in the works. None of us have talked about an album or anything," Contactmusic quoted her as having told the NYPost.com’s PopWrap blog.
"And until we do, no one else should worry about it. Simmer down now!" she added
Wendy Williams is Leaving Radio
It has been announced that Wendy Williams is leaving radio so that she can focus more on her television career. Wendy currently has a show that airs on Fox and BET five days a week, so from the look of things her television career is taking off. Read the statement from her people below.
July 22, 2009 — Executives from WBLS and representatives for Wendy Williams today jointly announced Ms. Williams plans to leave her daily radio show at month’s end to dedicate herself full time to THE WENDY WILLIAMS SHOW, a nationally syndicated talker which launched July 13th. Ms. Williams, who has been a fixture on WBLS since 2002, has spent more than two decades on the air winning over fans and was recently nominated as a potential inductee to the National Radio Hall of Fame. Her radio show has consistently rated as one of the highest rated programs on the station.
“We are saddened to lose one of our most popular personalities,” noted Deon Levingston, Vice President and General Manager of WBLS. “But we understand what it requires to put a live show on television each and every day and wish Wendy all the best in this new venture.”
“I want to tell all of my fans that after July 31st, I will no longer be doing a show with WBLS,” Williams said. “I really was blessed to have a broadcast home in NY on radio for the past 7 years and I want to thank everyone who supported me. I have one of the best jobs in the world, making a difference in the lives of my fans made all the difference to me and I look forward to doing the same thing in my new role as a TV host. My hope is that you will do your best to find me on your remote so I can continue to entertain and inform you each and every day.”
Solange Takes it All Off
Seems that Solange is the newest celeb to shave off her locks, except she took an extra step and shaved it all off. I am definitely loving this new “natural” fad and I think it is better than a head full of weave.
Reasons Why Nas and Kelis’ Baby Will Need Therapy
First off let me correct the fact that I said Kelis had her baby two days ago, apparently she was in labor for 3 days and did not give birth to her son Knight until last night.10) Your stepsister had her baby seat skeeted on by Jay-Z and he made a song about it.
9) Your parents had sex with blindfolds and made a song about it.
8 ) Your friends will have both of these songs on their iPods and torture you with them.
7) Your uncle’s name is Jungle He will swear to you he is a rapper. Don’t believe him.
6) Your dad can’t drive but owns many cars. You will be his chauffeur one day.
5) Your birth will be on Twitter.

Michelle Obama’s New Look
The First Lady Michelle Obama was rocking a new hair-do last night at the White House’s Country Music Concert. Now I really don’t know if she actually chopped off some of her locks or if her hair is just pinned up in the back, but I do know I am liking the new look. So what do you think, is this hair-do a “do” or “don’t”???
Is Beyonce the Queen of Pop???
There are no formal anointments with these kinds of things, but it's hard not to crown Beyonce as the current queen of pop music.
She's the female artist who has spent the most weeks at No. 1 this century with five No. 1 singles, she is the woman with the most Top 5 hits since 2000, and she has the most hits in the Top 10 with a dozen.
Her latest, and third, solo album "I Am … Sasha Fierce" — named after her onstage alter ego (who sounds like a Tyra Banks character) — is one of the best-selling albums of the year. With more than 2 million in sales, the album is still in the Top 30 after 34 weeks; its latest million-selling single, "Halo," is still in the Top 15 after 25 weeks. Its newest release "Ego" is No. 2 on the R&B charts.
Forbes just listed her as the No. 1 best-paid celebrity under 30, with over $87 million in earnings from June 2008 to June 2009. She's married to Jay-Z, who is No. 2 on the magazine's Hip-Hop Cash King list, making them a power couple beyond peer in recorded music.
Whitney Houston’s Album Release Party
Whitney Houston had her album release party last night for her latest album “Look to You”. This album is being considered her comeback album and features songs that were produced by R. Kelly, Alicia Keys, and Swizz Beatz. Speaking of Alicia and Swizz Beatz, it is being said that they are no longer hiding their relationship considering they were basically booed up the entire night. Anyways, good luck to Whitney with this album and I can’t wait to hear it.
Jay Z Confronts the Rumors
During a radio show in London last night Jay Z finally responded to the rumors that he stopped Chris Brown from coming to the BET Awards and also his recent beef with The Game.
On Chris Brown’s apology
“We Are all flawed human beings. All a person can do is apologize. Everyone should be allowed to make mistakes. It happens”
On Blocking Chris Brown from Performing at the BET Awards
That’s the silliest rumor I’ve ever heard. First let me categorically deny that, that’s not even my style. If I have a problem with Chris brown, I have a problem with Chris Brown. I haven’t said anything live or behind the scenes. I don’t agree with what he did and that’s it. But as far as not letting him perform on BET, that’s ridiculous, that’s stupid and that’s a sucker move. I wouldn’t do it. And people commenting on rumors, that’s a sucker move.
On Mentioning The Game in a Diss Track
“Tell me exactly what I said….(Tim: you mentioned his name, Jim Jones’ name, Dame Dash’s name…) I said I’m not talking about, this, this. I’m not…Is that a diss? If I said I’m not talking about you? “Oh, you hurt my feelings”.? Tell groupie to get over it! If that’s a diss, then wear that. Tell groupie to get over it.”
I see a response from The Game in 3, 2, 1.

Kelis Gives Birth!!!
First off let me say CONGRATS to Kelis on giving birth to her first child today, but I just can not help but wonder why Nas was not there. Some sources are saying that Kelis did not want Nas to view the birth while other sources are saying that he just did not show up, but one thing is clear and that is that HE WAS NOT THERE. I wonder what his excuse will be???
Dark vs. Light Party…WTF
The above flyer was for the promotion of the Dark skin vs. Redbone Affair that was held in Atlanta this past weekend. It is definitely sad that after all the adversities that us African Americans had to overcome we still have to deal with ISH like this within our own race. I guess the Willie Lynch letter is still affecting us today, and if you do not know what I am talking about Google it. SMH
