Akon chats about the discrepancies in his thug history and jail time:

In an interview with Access Atlanta, the singer clarified his previous statements that he was incarcerated for three years.

“I got caught up in cars and this and that. Kept going in and out of jail. Three months here, six months there, two weeks here,” Akon explained. “And it was to a point where I was like, ‘This really doesn’t make any sense. What am I doing?’ And the last stretch I did was six months in Dekalb County (Georgia) after I was pulled over in a stolen car.” Continue »

We can always count on Fantasia to come correct with that bootleg swag. She was spotted at the Cracked Christmas Fundraiser in LA last night wearing this bizarre feathered frock.

Cassie & Kim Kardashian were fixtures at the Empowerment of Africa Dinner last night, which was hosted by The Diamond Empowerment Fund.

The Diamond Empowerment Fund’s mission is to raise money to support education initiatives that develop and empower economically disadvantaged people in African nations where diamonds are a natural resource.

So between these two talented heffahs, we must ask: Which One Would You Hit???

Akon continues to ride Mike’s nut sack. Dig what he says to People Magazine this time:

What surprised you the most about him?
Akon: How humble and how smart he was. Sometimes you get a certain perception from how the media portrays him, but [working with him] was completely opposite. An artist of that caliber and as big as he is, you would think he would have certain qualities that you probably wouldn’t like, such as being very arrogant or stuck up. With him, it was like he had never put out a record before – he still had that hunger.

Damn. We get it already, you like Mike. But we still can’t quite digest that ‘smart’ piece. It really don’t really seem like Mike got too much goin’ by way of intellect these days.
