DENNIS RODMAN ACCUSED OF STIFFING RESTAURANT BILL:

Den Den was off his meds apparently, and somebody needs to point him in the direction of the nearest Make Over Reality Show, QUICK. He Is The Biggest LOSER. any respectable drag queen would never been seen dead with that purse and dress. And to think he had the nerve to cause a stank on the Beach. He Needs His Ass Whooped Real Momma Style.

Plus, member of his crew allegedly assaulted manager when he asked for the money.

*Within days of his appearance on the season finale of “The Apprentice” and promise to enter rehab, Dennis Rodman got himself in trouble in Miami after sources claim he left a restaurant without paying the bill.

TMZ.com reported Sunday, “Rodman and some friends had dinner last night at the Gansevoort Hotel in Miami, and left without paying the $1,000 bill. When the manager tried stopping Rodman’s party, an altercation erupted and the GM got punched in the face — allegedly by a member of Rodman’s posse.”

According to the Web site, the fight spilled into the street and resulted in a rear view mirror being knocked off a $289,000 Lamborghini parked near the sidewalk.

Police confirm the Miami Beach PD responded to a call from the hotel right around the time the altercation took place. No word yet on whether the victim will press charges.

The restaurant agreed not to press charges if the bill was paid — and it was.

Label Rep Says Lil Wayne Album Pushed Back Again To July

Literally We Have nothing to say, except, did somebody wake his syrup sluprin ass up to tell him ? probably wouldn’t make a bit of difference anyway. he’s asleep in his shoes but he still doesn’t realize it. Damn..

Thursday May 21 12:50 PM CDT posted by xxl staff

One month after it was reported that Lil Wayne’s new album Rebirth was pushed back to June, XXLMag.com has learned that the project has been moved once again.

Reports came out today that the disc was moved, and a label rep has confirmed that the experimental album will now come out sometime in July. It is unclear if the several tracks that have leaked on the net will be included on the CD, like “Politics” with Gudda Gudda or “Spit In Your Face” with Cash Money artist Kevin Rudolf.

Yet according to Rolling Stone, the leaked song “Fix My Hat” will be on Rebirth.

In April it was reported that Universal wants to the release Weezy’s Young Money compilation on the same date as Rebirth, which is complicating the drop date. As of press time it is uncertain if that is still the case. – Elan Mancini

Nas Wants Judge To Deny Kelis Spousal Support In Divorce

Wednesday May 20 2:14 PM CDT posted by xxl staff

It doesn’t look like Nas and Kelis are on good terms. After filing for divorce last month against her husband of three years, Kelis – who cannot work because she is pregnant with the Queens rapper’s son – is asking for Nas to pay for her lawyer fees in the case.

TMZ reports today (May 20) that not only does Nas not want to pay for his ex’s attorney, but he doesn’t want to fork over any money for spousal support.

Both Esco and the R&B singer are seeking custody of the child that Kelis is just weeks away from birthing. Rumor is that Kelis filed for the split because she believes Nas was cheating on her.

As of press time neither artist has offered any statements about the case. – Elan Mancini

Kelis Baby Do You Have to let errybody get a taste of Yo Milkshake ? Damnn Girl cover that shit up.

*Documents filed in Los Angeles reveal that Nas, 35, has asked a court to deny his pregnant wife Kelis any spousal support in their divorce.

The 29-year-old “Milkshake” singer, whose first child with Nas is due in July, filed for divorce last month, according to reports. Both sides are seeking joint custody of the unborn child.

Although the couple went public with their marriage with a ceremony in 2005, the pair was secretly married at a courthouse in 2003, a source confirms.

SNOOP DOGG CLEARED OF STAGE ASSAULT:

Go Snoop, we knew that you’d win this one. Here’s a lil advice Big Homie – next time keep the fans off the stage while you and yo posse’ workin. it’s been known to get gully up there

Jury finds Snoop is not personally responsible for fan beatdown at 2005 concert.

*A civil jury on Friday cleared Snoop Dogg of civil assault and battery claims in the beating of a fan who stormed the concert stage during a 2005 concert near Seattle.

The jury, however, did find that Richard Monroe Jr. suffered serious injuries during the concert and awarded him $449,400 in damages to be paid by a record label, another performer and others involved in the concert, reports the Associated Press.

The damages awarded were substantially lower than the $22 million Monroe sought when he sued the rapper in 2006.

Jurors found that Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, doesn’t personally owe Monroe anything. The artist was not in court Friday for the verdict, but he attended part of the trial and testified, denying that he struck Monroe.

During two weeks of testimony, jurors were repeatedly shown a video of a melee that Monroe said left him unconscious, badly bruised and nearly naked. Monroe’s attorney, Brian E. Watkins, said jurors did believe his client’s contention that Snoop’s people were involved in a savage beating.

“We’re very pleased that the jury found that this incident was not something to be taken lightly,” Watkins said.

Responsibility for paying the judgment falls on Doggystyle Records, which Broadus founded; rapper Soopafly, whose real name is Priest Brooks; and other unnamed parties.

SWIZZ BEATZ WANTS DIVORCE COURT GAG:

Producer asks judge to seal the case; Mashonda’s lawyer calls move ‘curious.’

(May 22, 2009)

*Now that he’s gone public about his romance with songstress Alicia Keys, rapper and producer Swizz Beatz wants the public barred from ongoing divorce proceedings with his wife, singer Mashonda, the New York Post’s Dareh Gregorian reports.

Beatz, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, has asked Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kaplan to seal the proceedings and issue a gag order.

Mashonda’s lawyer, Bernard Clair, called the move “curious,” and noted that his client’s divorce suit and request for support for their son were “flying under the radar until Mr. Dean and Alicia Keys went public about their long-term affair and he released a song implying that he likes it when Alicia serves him breakfast naked.

“Now that Mr. Dean’s questionable conduct is being scrutinized, he suddenly wants a gag order and the media to be locked out?”

T.I. RELEASES ALFAMEGA FROM LABEL:

Rapper takes action after reports surface that he was a DEA informant.

Have Mercy, Tip you cleanin house. good move my man, good move. now if you can get that shit cleaned up before you get done with your bid, the rest will be gravy baby.

The rapper, who was sentenced to one year and a day behind bars on federal weapons charges last month, has dropped Alfamega from his Grand Hustle Records following a published report by SmokingGun.com earlier last week that claims he was an informant for the drug enforcement administration during a trial on a heroin trafficker.

“Even though all our artists and employees are asked by us to be honest and open about their past history, at no time did Alfa disclose to me or Grand Hustle what has now appeared in the media,” T.I., born Clifford Harris, said during an interview on Atlanta’s 107.9 radio station.

“He essentially deceived us by failing to fully disclose the truth about his past, and there is no place in our organization for dishonest and misleading behavior,” he continued. “As I have always said, you must take responsibility for your own actions. We at Grand Hustle can not support or condone the blaming of others for our own mistakes. I hope and pray to God, bless his savings plans, but I don’t foresee me or my company playing a role in his personal or professional business.”‘

T.I. pleaded guilty last March after he was arrested in 2007, attempting to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers.

RAYMONE BAIN SUES MIJAC OVER UNPAID FEES:

How the Hell is she suing anybody with her Shady Ass? she’s just mad she aint’ gettin none of that O2 money.

Singer’s former rep seeks $44 million, only ‘after numerous attempts to resolve matter amicably.’

*Raymone K. Bain, the famous former publicist for Michael Jackson who became widely known during the singer’s child molestation trial, has filed a lawsuit against the King of Pop for failing to pay her fee.

In the lawsuit, Bain is seeking $44 million from the entertainer. She claims to have overseen every aspect of Jackson’s life, including arranging his housing, paying his bills, running his companies and helping to save him from foreclosure, among other things.

But one has to wonder if Jackson’s supposed to be broke, why is she suing for that much money and how does she justify that figure? The Washington D.C.-based lawyer sent EUR the following statement regarding her lawsuit:

“It is with deep regret that I find myself at this place, having to file a lawsuit against my longtime employer, and someone whom I have greatly admired and respected, Michael Jackson.

“Mr. Jackson and I have had a long, productive and mutually beneficial business relationship.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Jackson has elected not to honor the financial obligations of our contractual relationship, despite my numerous attempts to amicably resolve this matter. I am sincerely disappointed in Mr. Jackson’s failure to honor his obligations.

“This lawsuit will result in some discussion about the relationship between Mr. Jackson and me. Hypothetical theories, accusations and rumors, if gauging from the past, will be many. However, all of these will be replaced in court with the truth.

“On a personal note, I would like to thank all of the individuals who have given so much of their time and effort to assist me throughout the Jackson years. I thank you for your support and prayers. To the Jackson fans who have written letters to me, thank you, and I wish you all the best.

“Despite the action I have been compelled to take for professional and business reasons, when looking back, I have no regrets. Michael Jackson, in my opinion, is the ‘King of Pop,’ and I wish him, and his family, only the best.”

*Less than 24 hours after proclaiming she is the true No. 1-ranked women’s tennis player, world number two Serena Williams was knocked out the second round of Tuesday’s WTA Rome claycourt International by No. 20 Patty Schnyder 6-2, 2-6, 6-1.

According to AFP, “the game did not finish until 1 a.m. local time and there was a strange and subdued atmosphere, although Schnyder at least managed to lift herself enough to see off her poor opponent.”

Perhaps Williams was still distracted from the successful launch of her fashion, accessories and jewelry line on HSN and www.hsn.com, with 25,000 pieces selling out after just 3 hours of air time during HSN’s primetime debut (Thursday-Saturday morning) April 30 – May 2.

Serena Williams Signature Statement is a complete accessories collection including handbags, jewelry and apparel that ranges from $16.50 for the Signature Statement Rings of Bling Drop Earrings up to $99.95 for the Signature Statement Flowing Floral Reversible Maxi Dress.

During the launch, Serena modeled her collection, told anecdotes about the inspiration behind each piece and took calls from elated fans from around the country. One of the most popular pieces was the famous Lucky Ring Serena wears during each of her winning matches. Additionally, nearly every handbag and fashion jewelry piece was spoken for by the end of her last show on Saturday morning.

“I love to make a statement both on and off the court. Passion, drive and hard work have taken me down this and many other creative paths throughout my life,” said Williams. “As with tennis, it takes a lot of discipline and precision to make beautiful things come to life. This is a dream come true for me to share truly gorgeous things that I love with the world on HSN.”

Responding to reports of a shoot-out following his performance in Detroit, Jim Jones has debunked the rumors of gunfire taking place.
The Byrd Gang leader also expressed his thoughts towards Trick Trick who was originally reported to have been shot.

“Shout-out to Detroit,” Jones said in an interview with hip-hop personality Miss Info. “Negative. Nah, nah nah [no shooting took place]. What did the news say? Did the news say they was a shooting? Ah man, shout-out to Trick Trick, I hope he get better. Detroit clubs are tricky. They got a lot of problems going on out there.” (Miss Info)

Rumors cited the involvement of a Detroit rapper who had another version of “Na Na Na.”

Not everyone was happy with Jim Jones’ new song “Na Na Na.” There is a Detroit Rapper who had the exact song last year. Rumor is Jim Jones was jumped by 20 goons in Detroit, Michigan. Word in the streets is that last night around 2 am at Club Esko in Detroit, Jim Jones, who was about to perform, was rushed and beaten by at least 20 Detroit natives. Reports claim that three individuals were shot. (World Star Hip Hop)

Trick Trick is also addressed the rumors of him being shot saying he was nowhere near the club during the alleged incident.

He told WKQI-FM (95.5) on Monday morning that he was at home “restin’ and chillin’.” “I’m at home. I ain’t left this house since Saturday.” Trick told WKQI’s “Mojo in the Morning” program Monday morning. Trick said he received a concerned phone call from his mother early Monday, after she had heard a report on television that her son had been shot. After he told her he was safe at home, Trick said his mother called WDIV-TV (Channel 4) and told them to stop reporting the story. As for why he had been linked to the shooting incident that reportedly left two wounded, “I’m still trying to figure that out,” Trick said. (Detroit News)

Early reports said both Jones and Trick Trick were involved in a shooting Monday (March 16) morning.

Ten men rushed the Esko Lounge on Michigan Avenue near Shelby Street, according to Detroit police. The men got into a fight with rapper Jim Jones and shots were fired. Two men were hit, including a man police identified as Christian Mathis. Local 4 confirmed Mathis was taken to the emergency room at Detroit Receiving Hospital. He is in serious condition. The other man’s condition is unknown. Police are looking for the gunman. (Detroit Local News 4)

America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks says she is “concerned” after an audition for her show ended with six people injured and three arrests.

Thousands of modelling hopefuls were queuing outside a hotel in Manhattan, New York, when bedlam broke out.

Police cancelled the audition but could not say what had sparked the panic.

Banks and the show’s producer Ken Mok said: “We are concerned by the events. We still don’t know all the details of what triggered the incident.”

They added: “We appreciate the efforts of the NYPD and will assist them in any way possible in this matter.”

Reports suggest the incident involved a man charging into the crowd in an attempt to steal handbags.

Sleeping bags

Clothes and shoes were abandoned in the street as women tried to escape the melee.

Tyra Banks created America’s Next Top Model

Some of those waiting in line at the Park Central New York hotel had camped out overnight with chairs and sleeping bags to get their shot at fame.

Of those injured, only two were taken to hospital, according to the New York fire department.

Two women and a man were arrested on charges of inciting to riot and disorderly conduct.

This 13th series of the reality show is seeking 12 finalists who are shorter than the average model, with auditions only open to those under 5ft 7ins.

City authorities say they are fighting the problem with vigour

(bbc news)

The US capital is suffering an epidemic of HIV/Aids worse than some African nations, with 3% of over-12s infected, the city’s department of health says.

Its report suggests the hardest-hit sections of the population are black men, and people aged between 40 and 49.

The infection rate puts Washington DC on a par with Uganda.

But one factor may be a drive towards more HIV/Aids testing, and the city government insists much is now being done to tackle the problem.

According to the report, both the United Nations and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have “historically defined an HIV epidemic as generalised and severe when the overall percentage of disease among residents of a specific geographic area exceeds 1%.

I think we’re seeing the increase recently because the new director of our HIV/Aids administration here in Washington has put a large push for everyone to get tested Dr Raymond Martins Whitman-Walker clinic

“The overall proportion in the District is three times higher,” the report says. By comparison, less than half of 1% of Americans are living with cancer.

Even the 3% figure, the report says, is certain to be an underestimate, as so many of Washington’s residents are unaware that they are infected.

“In the District, nearly every population group and age is experiencing a substantial epidemic,” the report says, with the greatest rates of infection among black men (6.5%), Hispanic men (3.0%), and white men (2.6%).

In terms of age, those aged 40-49 are the worst affected (7.2%), followed by those aged 50-59 (5.2%).

The main mode of transmission is men having sex with men, followed by heterosexual sex and infection through drug use.

‘Actually 5%’

The chief medical officer at the Whitman-Walker clinic, one of Washington’s biggest HIV organisations, told the BBC that the real figure could be even higher.

“When they’ve tested large groups of the District population it looks like the prevalence is actually about 5%, which is higher than the 3% but a lot of the people haven’t been tested yet,” said Dr Raymond Martins.

“I think we’re seeing the increase recently because the new director of our HIV/Aids administration here in Washington has put a large push for everyone to get tested and so with that testing you’re discovering all these people that are HIV-positive that didn’t realise they were.”

The report says the city’s Mayor Adrian Fenty and the department are following a three-pronged strategy to tackle the epidemic, by promoting testing for the virus, preventing transmission by providing free condoms and needle exchanges, and doing more for those already living with HIV/Aids.

Bristol Palin has dumped her babydaddy, for what ? apparently he does’t even know. he says in the interview that he thinks they both just need to do a lil growin up. We Agree Kids.. So Stop Makin Babies.

Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin had been dating for three years

(bbc news)

Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, has split from her fiance, Levi Johnston.

Miss Palin’s pregnancy by Mr Johnston, 19, made headlines shortly after Sarah Palin was named as John McCain’s running mate in last year’s elections.

The couple’s son, Tripp Johnston, was born in December.

Mr Johnston told Associated Press (AP) that the couple had mutually decided “a while ago” to end their three-year relationship.

Speaking outside his family’s home in Wasilla, north of Anchorage, Mr Johnston said some speculation about the break-up, circulating on the internet, had been inaccurate.

In a statement issued through Sarah Palin’s political action committee, Miss Palin said she had been “devastated” by some media intrusion into their relationship.

“Unfortunately, my family has seen many people say and do many things to ‘cash in’ on the Palin name,” said the statement.

“Sometimes that greed clouds good judgment and the truth.”

Sarah Palin’s spokesman, Bill McAllister, declined to comment on the break-up.

Talking point

The Alaska governor revealed her daughter’s pregnancy – and engagement – just days after being named as the Republican vice-presidential candidate by John McCain.

Mrs Palin is a social conservative who is opposed to abortion and the pregnancy became a talking point during the campaign.

In December, Mrs Palin said that her daughter and Mr Johnston were “committed to accomplish what millions of other young parents have accomplished, to provide a loving and secure environment for their child.”

Bristol Palin said in an interview with Fox News last month that Mr Johnston saw the baby every day and described him as a “hands-on” father.

The couple had said they were considering a summer wedding.

Michael Jackson O2 Arena Performances Announcement

Michael Jackson has done it again. he comes back with a bang ! selling out 50 straight shows ? how is this possible from a man who can no longer sing. is he using his sisters formula to achieve tour success. book a shitload of dates, and cancel them one by one unti it’s apparent you only wanted the money from the first 3. wowww..

Tickets for Michael Jackson’s 50-date residency at the O2 arena in London have completely sold out, organisers have confirmed.

Hundreds of fans queued at the venue as tickets went on sale to the public and over a quarter of a million people queued online.

Around 750,000 fans have bought tickets to see the veteran pop star.

Tickets sold at a rate of around 11 per second, promoters said – when they went on sale to the public on Friday.

Some 360,000 tickets were sold to registered fans before sales opened on Friday morning.

Organisers say the This Is It tour has become the fastest-selling in history, with people from as far away as Japan, Belgium and Dubai queuing up to purchase their tickets.

Jackson is said to be “thrilled” by the response.

Tickets for Jackson’s gigs are already being sold on eBay Have Your Say: Have you managed to get Michael Jackson tickets?

Randy Phillips of promoters AEG Live told BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat a pre-registration scheme had been so successful he asked Jackson himself if he would do more dates.

“That wasn’t anticipated,” he said.

“We never thought ‘50 shows’ and frankly based on the queues on Ticketmaster, plus the 300,000 registrants we still haven’t issued codes to, we could spend two years here.

“Mike asked me how long he would be in the United Kingdom for and I told him, probably long enough to get a British passport.

“Michael’s already pretty much put together a list of the dancers he wants. Michael’s very engaged now.”

Ticketmaster’s director, Chris Edmonds, said: “We often talk about unprecedented demand, but this week we have witnessed a live entertainment phenomenon.

“This was undoubtedly the busiest demand for tickets for an event which we have ever experienced.”

Pre-sale tickets for Jackson’s first 10 dates sold out on Tuesday but some fans complained of “technical problems” trying to register online.

Online auction

Tickets for the Jackson shows are already being sold on the online auction website eBay.

Prices on the site range from £170 to £10,000, but tickets bought directly from the singer’s website or Ticketmaster cost up to £75.

Jackson, who has won 13 Grammy awards, has said this will be the last time he will perform in the UK.

In August and September 2007, Prince played 21 concerts at the O2 arena together with a number of after-shows at its club venue, Indigo.

Kanye West Admits To Getting His Style From Gay People!

Kanye West Say’s, He is Bi-Sexual!!!!

(clipped from diaryofahollywoodstreetking.com)

We recently suggested to Kanye that he take his nude photoshoot to the next level. That he should pose with a few bitches, maybe white chics or throw an Asian piece in the mix. That he should definitely use dildos and employ as much kink as possible.

Mr. West decided to trump our suggestions and come straight OUT THE CLOSET!

In an interview with writer David Watts for KING magazine, West said that he may produce a softcore porn movie as a companion piece to his new disc 808 & Heartbreak and that singer added that he is not above performing in this film.

“I know people will find that as another thing to hate me on, but fuck it,” West said. “I’m open to doing porn. Hell, I’ll even do bisexual scenes – myself, another man and a woman, or just me and two women. I know people will find that as some weird shit, but I am who I am.”

West’s latest revelation follows an interview with Vibe magazine in which he stated that he would one day pose nude simply to fuck with hip-hop and black culture.

West told KING: “I’m an artist. Artist expand; they don’t contract. What do I look like staying confined in one space with all my talent? I’m an icon.”
