The bag lady look we are not buying.

A deeper issue is surfacing and denying it only makes it worse because in the public eye, pictures say it all.

Whitney, we are praying for you.

Weapons charges, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, sued for attacking a fan, so a little trouble with the law.

Jayceon Taylor aka ‘The Game’ was recently arrested in Burbank, CA and charged with carrying a dangerous weapon, upon searching his blacked out Bentley, police found a set of brass knuckles, yes, brass knuckles, which are harmless until somebody cracks your head with them.

Why was he stopped in the first place? X-ray vision? The cops could see thru the car, therefore able to spot the “weapon”?

Cops got skills these days!

DJ AM, I don’t blame you for leaving, find a girl that you won’t have to eventually bury!

She claims only to a 5-10 pound weight loss, I mean, one of her boobs weighed at least 5 lbs back then! Look how luscious Nicole used be! Beautiful.

Now she needs some ribs with meat, a feeding tube full of double cheese burger juice, high chicken fat smoothies, vats of Oreo soup….something….the girl is going to die.

Miss Ritchie is evidently starving for attention. Come to think of it, get her some mental help!

This not so smart guy claims to be Babyface’s long (not so lost) son, tries to extort money from him, takes a check for $9,000,000.00?

Honey, Did you know that no rich person in their right mind would hand over a check?

Next time? Maybe when you get out of prison? Try something similar, but ask for a wire transfer!

With the delayed release of Kelly Rowland’s second album, “My Story: Kelly Rowland, one has to think whether it has the credibility to stand out against all the emerging superstars, that include best pal Beyonce.

Kelly’s Manager, Matthew Knowles (yes, Beyonce’s Dad) has delayed the release of the LP until 2007, due to actually drop this July, Manager Knowles “wanted to avoid competition with all the hot records dropping this summer”.

Is she really being smothered out by the popularity of Miss Knowles? Rhianna? Shakira? Christina Milian?

Will there ever be a “good” time

No moving on up for you Mr. Jefferson.

This Mr.Jefferson froze $90,000 in $10,000 increments in food containers and aluminum foil and $10,000 is still missing from a $100,000 bribe.

Congressman Jefferson, who represents the great state of Louisana, has been caught on videotape accepting money from the Feds; the bribe money was apparently to secure funds for Nigerian business deals.

You finally found a piece of that pie, now pray it has a file in it.

$1.8 Mil on a birthday party?….I can’t even fathom, I am speechless, er, typeless….read on.

NAOMI Campbell is playing sugar mama. The anger-management poster child waltzed into Lounge – the new boutique/bar on Broadway – last week with “her new boyfriend and bought thousands of dollars’ worth of CDs and True Religion brand jeans for him,” a store p.r. woman said. Campbell refused to introduce the man, believed to be a sheik from Abu Dhabi, and declined to pose for photos, because, she told the p.r. woman: “I know I need to stay out of the limelight with all the trouble I’ve gotten myself into!” It’s not the limelight you have to worry about, doll; it’s the maids!
(nypost)

Miss Campbell will probably get, like, $1.2 Mil in gifts alone!
