Damon Dash and wife Rachel Roy welcomed another little girl, Tallulah Ruth, to the family on May 13th. Tallulah Ruth, huh? Let’s just hope she’s named after somebody’s Grandma or something.

Akon refuses to deny or confirm claims that he lied about living a life of crime:
“‘We’re doing so many positive things. To go back and focus and put energy on negative things like that, to try to discredit an artist, it makes no sense to me. If there was a motive for it, it would be worth entertaining. I’d rather keep it the way it is and leave the article out there. It only helps me. It’s not something I was trying to glorify or turn back to. It was something I was trying to forget. Actually, it worked out for me in a positive way.’”
Whatever works, right Akon? Just like enforcing “Konvict” stereotypes about black men and crime worked out in a “positive way” for your career. SMH.

Now that Jordin Sparks’ vocal chords have recovered, she’s back in action and was spotted on the set of her new video over the weekend. Apparently, she’s been downplaying her throat injury:
“Sparks insists her illness was never as bad as was reported. She says, ‘They were saying I would never sing again, and I knew I could because, well, it’s my throat. My career could have been in jeopardy if I hadn’t done anything about it. But I knew something was wrong and that I needed to get it checked out.’”
Kelly Rowland was also out getting her hustle on in the UK, promoting the re-release of her CD, Ms. Kelly Deluxe (poor child). More of Kelly just below.

Fantasia’s boo, Young Dro chit chats about upcoming projects:
‘Swag Shop’ is a shop where you can whip in and get you a 50-piece swag with extra swag sauce,” Dro joked outside of T.I.’s Grand Hustle studio. In reality, “The Swag Shop” is a documentary-style DVD that Dro is putting together with producer Dark Gable. In the DVD’s trailer, we see Dro talk to Tip via computer video hookup, touch the town with wife Fantasia and lay vocals in the lab. “I’m not going through [the DVD] saying, ‘I got swag, swag, swag,’ it’s just showing,” Dro explained. “I’m showing you my regular self. You’re gonna be able to see from the way I dress, the oysters I crack open, all the behind-the-scenes stuff.”
We’re sure you could probably care less about what he has to say about ‘swag’, but we did find it interesting that they mentioned Fantasia as his “wife” in this article. Damn did we miss something?

The newest top-secret 007 style nuptials between Mimi & Nick were confirmed by a man of the cloth:
“Mariah Carey did in fact get married to Nick Cannon, so says a clergyman for something called the National Church of God in the Caribbean – which definitely makes this nuptial seem all the more legit.
Bishop Clifford Petty tells People that he presided over the wedding of Mimi and Nick and specified that he didn’t give a sermon.”
Okay, this circus sideshow act is getting a little old. To have a secret wedding on the heels of JayBey’s hush hush event is pretty pathetic. Would it have killed them to add a little originality to the mix? SMH.

Kelly Rowland was photographed while out promoting her new single Daylight. We really wish Kelly the best with this venture. Hopefully the sales of the re-release of her album “Miss Kelly: Diva Deluxe” will do better than the initial release. Here is what she had to say about the top secret wedding:
I just spoke to Beyoncé last night, and she is very happy.” So married life is treating Knowles well? “How do you know there’s been a wedding?” she replied playfully. “This is something you need to ask Beyoncé and Jay.”
She must be sick of answering that question…

Here are some pics of Camel leaving the Parlor Sports Bar in Santa Monica, Ca. last night grinning big as hell despite to ‘rumors’ of he and Beyonce having their first marital altercation:
It kicked off at the Hollywood Bowl in LA where – at a star-studded gig – Jay-Z slated his better half’s song! Flicking through his box of oldies, the DJ slapped on one of Beyonce’s biggest hits, Crazy In Love. But as the fans grooved, Jay-Z growled. Storming to the mic, he yelled: “F*** that. Sorry Bey but f*** that – let’s play something else.” Furious, Bey stalked off… before laying into her man later away from prying eyes.
“Beyonce had been side stage for most of the night, dancing and singing along,” says a fellow reveller. But when Jay-Z got the song pulled, her mood soured. He meant it as a joke, but Beyonce didn’t take it that way. “After he came off stage, she confronted him, demanding to know what the hell his comments had been about. She was gesturing wildly and not looking happy.
“Like any good husband would, Jay-Z grovelled and tried to get out of it with compliments. “It’s a shame because earlier the pair had been flashing their tattooed wedding ring fingers. Both have ‘IV’ – the date of their wedding’ – inked on. “Later peace was restored and they were smiling and holding hands again.”
Or maybe Jigga’s just cheesin so hard because of another rumor, that he and Beyonce are expecting. We hear that Mathew Knowles is going around telling folks that Bey is knocked up. We’ll all just have to wait and see…

The Game reveals that sometimes he wants out of this game called life:
“‘My life is f***ed up right now,’ he [said]. ‘I’m in a f***ed up place. My fans love me, and I know what they want but in a minute, I’m not gonna be physically capable of pleasing the world with music. Because my mind isn’t right. People are driving me under God’s good earth.’
‘Sometimes I wanna be at peace so bad that I wish myself off of the earth,’ Game said.”
Damn dude, don’t do anything rash. It sounds like someone needs to run up in his crib and rid it of all shoelaces and sharp objects.
Something must be going on that’s stressing all these young hip-hop artists the f**k out and making them want to exit the music game. Maybe they need a hit off of whatever Mariah was prescribed, cause she’s flying high than a mf now, and making it rain on all them hoes.

Halle says she loves being a mom:
“New mom Halle Berry is getting by with a little help from a friend who knows something about parenting – and Hollywood. ‘We’ve e-mailed, and she’s loving motherhood,’ [said] Nancy O’Dell told PEOPLE.com. Berry, 41, gave birth to daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry last month.
‘She is loving every minute of it, couldn’t be any happier,” Access Hollywood host O’Dell, who is friends with Berry, says. “She’s going to be such a great mom.’”
We don’t doubt it. At the age of 41, it’s sort of a given. We know she’ waiting to shed those pounds first, but we can’t wait to see little Nahla.

Snoop Dogg is looking to traumatize lil children:
Sources revealed that Snoop is working on a children’s book series titled ‘Where’s The Cheese’, which will be illustrated by Snoop Dogg’s cousin, Joe Cool.
Where’s The Cheese is designed for children who face numerous challenges in urban environments.
From “gansta” to “pimp” to “children’s book author”, Snoop seems like he’ll turn out anything for a dollar. We can’t put our finger on it, but there’s something about this endeavor that’s a little disturbing.

T.I. granted his first sit-down interview since he was arrested for firearms charges:
“T.I. has admitted he bought the machine guns and silencers, has 1,000-plus hours of community service to complete, and has been sentenced to an expected 366 days in prison in March 2009. And while the events of Oct. 13, 2007, were off limits, the 27-year-old born Clifford Harris Jr. talked openly about a number of things: from the son he’s expecting to the 24 hours before his life changed.
Here are excerpts from the 30-plus minute conversation the AJC had with him at the Villages at Carver YMCA, right after he spoke to a handful of aspiring teen producers at a FOR ME Inc. workshop:”
Now that his back is against the wall, TI’s on the humble tip. Check out the entire interview, and a recent update on TI’s stack status, under the hood Continue »

We must be nearing the end. A Baltimore teacher caught a beatdown on Friday:
“She says the attack began when she told a female student to sit down and behave. As the girl’s friends cheered her on, Berry says the girl hit her in the face.
Berry says her principal told her that telling the student she was going to defend herself triggered the attack.”
The principal had the nerve to blame the teacher for saying she would defend herself? SMH. These kids are coming up wild and unhinged. No one is safe anymore, teachers especially. Something’s got to change. Pretty soon schools are going to be held vigilante style. Everyone will be packin.

This is some more End of Days type sh*t here:
“Six teen girls lured a former friend to a home and ambushed her, taking turns pounding on her face and body for 30 minutes until she was unconscious as someone videotaped the violence.
‘Shocking, I’ve never seen anything like it,’ Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. ‘They seem to have absolutely no remorse at all. I don’t understand the sheer violence.’
Police said the girl traveled to the house and walked into the trap. One girl met her at the door and five others were hiding in a back room, detectives said. The girls were then seen on video pummeling the girl in the face and body and slamming her head into a wall.
As the videotape rolled, a girl’s voice is heard yelling ‘There is only 17 seconds left; make it good.’ Police said the girls wanted to post the video on YouTube and MySpace. Police said two boys stood lookout outside the house during the beating.
The girl was taken to a hospital by ambulance and treated for a concussion, damage to her left eye and left ear, and numerous bruises, the report said. The girl can no longer see well out of one eye and hear from one ear, Local 6 reported.”
Is there something in the water? What is with these kids and their sociopathic behavior? Now these chicks are timing a beat down – on camera – trying to fill up dead air time. SMH, SMH.

50 Cent chats about G-Unit, their stack game, and Young Buck:
Each person in G-Unit has earned over $10 million in their career at this point. Outside of the guys that didn’t release product — M.O.P., Spider Loc, Olivia — the guys that had their project go out physically. I didn’t say they have $10 million, I said they’ve seen $10 million. What they did with their paper, I don’t know.”
“I think you have to give them something to blow it out of proportion. Buck did that. I think that what he was saying, in order to validate himself as a man, he feels he has to go against what I’m doing, similar to some of the things we’ve seen from Game … [But then] he’ll back off of it, when we’re in direct conversation. When he’s out in public, he’ll say something. They’re like my younger brothers, but they’ll do sh– for attention. They’ll do things, then when I look like, ‘What are you doing?’ They’ll be like, ‘Oh, nah, because you was doing this. … Because you didn’t call me when you were on the international tour.’ I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me? You didn’t call neither, so what does that mean?’ “
What a bunch of gaylords. They stay bickering like a bunch of b*tches.

Mister F. Baby is featured in the May ’08 issue of Vibe magazine and shares his thoughts on a few topics:
His response when questioned about his lifestyle:
Don’t judge me until you meet me. And you know when you gonna meet me? Never. So don’t judge me. Don’t worry about my health because what you doing? And when you tell me what you doing, I bet it ain’t half as great as what I’m doing. I smoke, drink, and do what, who, and how I want and I’m going to keep doing. And I’ma die the way I want. And that’s that.
On his legacy:
I wanna be a Bob Marley. I wanna be a Tupac. Their lives mean so much. I wanna mean so much after I’m gone. Y’all still gotta do shows, tributes, dedicate 20 whole minutes to me on every show. I want that.
Lil Wayne on wanting respect as an artist:
I still feel like I’m not being respected. I still feel like I don’t have the crown. I still feel like there’s something I have to do that hasn’t been done. Continue »
