Jill Scott announced her engagement to her drummer, Jon Roberts after her performance at Carnegie Hall over the weekend. This is how it went down:

“…drummer Jon Roberts aka Lil’ Jon presented her with a bouqet of flowers and they kissed…then told the audience their good news to an applause.”

Kudos to Jill for stepping out from the shadows of her divorce, and moving on. We wish them the best of luck.

Interrupted supermodel extraordinaire Naomi Campbell says racism is at the root of her recent run-in at Heathrow Airport. Not that it’s doubtful, but it still doesn’t change the fact that she is nuttier than a fruit-cake.

Will Smith continues to throw around hints about his connection with Scientology. On the Today show this morning he said:

“I study the patterns of the universe. I watch how things happen, because they happen the same way over and over again. Definitely plot it out in advance. But I would say, as far as hitting the mark for exactly where I’m aiming, that’s kind of rare. There’s a flow of the universe that I’ve grown to know just how to go with it.”

Well if that doesn’t have a Scientology twang to it, we don’t know what does. Sounds like Mr. Blockbuster be hittin’ up those “Ouija Board” parties (or whatever cult-like foolery Tom Cruise and the rest of the Scientology gang engage in) on a regular.

Remy Ma’s victim, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, is on a mission to get paid:

“In a lawsuit filed in the Bronx, Makeda Barnes-Joseph doesn’t just go after Remy, she wants coin from Remy’s music label and even the pizza joint where she and Remy were boozing before she got shot. She claims that Universal Music received ‘financial profit and economic benefit from the unlawful, violent and anti-social conduct’ of Ma. As for The Pizza Bar, Makeda says they kept serving Remy even though she was ‘visibly’ [drunk]“.

This chick has lost her mind. She’s suing every last one of them ho’s she believes is associated with getting capped. We’re surprised that she didn’t include the gun and bullet manufacturers in the lawsuit. It’s pathetic what people will do to get a dollar.

Amy Crackhouse is slowly killing herself:

“The Sunday Mirror quoted Mitch Winehouse as saying that Amy has early stage emphysema and an irregular heartbeat, and has been warned that she will have to wear an oxygen mask unless she stops smoking drugs.

‘The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her,’ Mitch Winehouse was quoted as saying. ‘There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She has 70 percent lung capacity.”‘

Damn. Ole girl may have to re-think her career plans if she is she doesn’t slow her role. Sounds pretty serious. If this doesn’t motivate this chick to sober up, nothing will. SMH.

For those of you keeping up with the endless Bugs Monkey foolishness, here’s an update for your Monday morning fix:

In the video featured on his official website this weekend, the G-Unit founder reveals that he was actually hurt when he found out Buck was saying “F*** G-Unit” at his shows.

‘I didn’t know how to respond to Young Buck when he was saying ‘F*** G-Unit” or f*** me personally because I’ve done so much for him,” I didn’t really know what to say. I was angry, but it hurt me. That’s where [the anger] came from. I can’t believe it.”

Bugsy caught feelings. How sentimental. Peep what he had to say about ex Shaniqua and her restraining order against him: Continue »

Janet Jackson and mini-boo Jermaine Dupri have gone public with their intention to start a family together. JD was spotted at a dinner party in West Hollywood over the weekend. When asked about he and Janet’s baby plans, he said:

“‘Yeah, soon. Right after the tour.’ Jackson recently announced she’ll be on the road this fall. The 42-year-old pop icon, who has been married and divorced twice, once quipped that she was ‘allergic to marriage.’ Dupri is reportedly so excited to procreate with Jackson, he doesn’t care if it’s a boy or a girl. ‘It really doesn’t matter, Janet would be a great mom. She was around so many brothers and sisters all her life, so she’s got to know what that is [like]. And her mom is a great mother.’”

Awww. How sweet. Pretty soon we can expect the pitter patter of pint-sized musical geniuses running amok. And speaking of happy couples. Timbaland and Monique Idlett tied the knot this weekend in a event of formal proportions. Click HERE to get the full scoop.
