Hey Kanye, Amber’s Ex-Girlfriend Wants Her Back
We now know the name of Amber Rose’s Dom ex-girlfriend. Of course you know Amber is Kanye West’s new arm trophy, beard, etc.
According to my source (who requests complete anonymity so she can keep feeding sandrarose.com juicy info) Amber’s ex-girlfriend is Trevon or Tre, aka Tiffany, who was featured in that popular DVD “Aggressives” some years back. They broke up when Amber dumped Tre for Kanye.
It saddens me to hear that Tre is in the Bronx “totally fuming/depressed” over the fact that she lost Amber to a man. It must be even worse knowing that the “man” is Kanye West. Money or no money, what does she see in him? Tre is so much cuter!
I also hear that Amber used to be a stripper at some strip clubs called Sue in NY and Delilahs in Philly.
Anyway, Amber, sweetie, if you’re reading this, please email me at sandra @ sandrarose.com (without the spaces) so we can talk about some things. 
Hip Hop Presidential
I spotted this vibrant artwork on Gawker.com. It’s supposed to depict POTUS Barack Obama standing regally with arms folded across his puffed out chest, while Hip Hop stars gesticulate behind him.
I see Jay Z and Jeezy on the right. But the two figures on the left resembles Bobby Brown and comedian Eddie Griffin.
The artist loses points for putting pink lipstick on Obama. Maybe that’s a subtle reference to Obama’s “lipstick on a pig” remark that he made during the hotly contested presidential campaign last year? I’m just guessing.
FanMAIL: Rihanna Petition
In light of the news that TMZ.com paid $62,500 for that police evidence photo of Rihanna, her fans have started a petition urging TMZ to apologize to the singer.
To TMZ.com Staff,
This petition is addressed to editors of TMZ.com who have posted a photo of injured Rihanna in the eve of her 21st birthday. We – the fans all around the world – feel that this action was very unethical and TMZ showed no respect to Rihanna’s privacy in these troubled times.
Media nowdays does everything to increse their popularity and often use actions against all moral and ethical principles. We want to prove that we do not support this.
Rihanna is a young and innocent woman and we do not understand why TMZ or anyone who has spread the pictures taken by LA police department, has decided to punish her by posting this violent material in order to gain publicity.
We demand from TMZ editors to post on their website an apologize to Rihanna and her fans for their disrespectful behaviour.
Sincerely,
I’m shocked that TMZ paid that much for the photo. I was just telling an industry friend yesterday that I thought the asking price was $25,000.
Supposedly, a snitch within TMZ leaked the price tag for the pic. But I think the purchase price was leaked deliberately (blogging is a competitive business and you do what you can to get traffic).
Was TMZ within their rights to pay for the photo? I think so. Everything has a price these days.
I fault the police employee who sold the photo — not TMZ. They say TMZ gave the cash to a relative of the employee so the money can’t be traced back to the employee. I hope that employee is caught and punished to the full extent of the law.
Thanks to Rihannadaily.com for the link!
Rihanna’s Injuries Are Not ‘Horrific’ Pt. 2
Rihanna was spotted leaving her hotel on her way to the L.A. airport last night.
As you know, RiRi was assaulted by her boyfriend Chris Brown 2 weeks ago. She’s been in seclusion in a L.A. hotel ever since.
But in the above picture, her face looks remarkably clear despite the “horrific” injuries that was reported by the media and blogs barely 2 weeks ago.
Earlier I wrote that I didn’t think Rihanna’s injuries were that ‘horrific’ based on a photo that was leaked by the LAPD.
But what do I know about ‘horrific’ injuries. I’m just a registered nurse.

T.I. Kicks Off ‘Farewell’ Tour
According to online reports, rapper T.I. will kick off a farewell tour in the coming weeks.
The reality is T.I. has been out on the road performing night after night for the last few months. There is no shortage of takers for his high fees which range from $100K to $150K for a single appearance.
One promoter, who shall remain nameless, even offered T.I. $100K per night for 3 straight nights at his venue!
There is no doubt that T.I.’s family (and employees) will eat well while he’s on lock down.
The Live Your Life hitmaker, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., will headline a handful of dates across the U.S. in the coming weeks before he begins his year-long prison stint in March (09).
His sentence relates to his 2007 arrest, in which he was caught trying to buy an arsenal of guns from an undercover FBI agent.
And the hip-hop superstar is determined to go out with a bang – he will be joined by Busta Rhymes and The Way I Are singer Keri Hilson on the 28 February (09) gig in Tampa, Florida, while Young Jeezy, Plies, Rick Ross and Yung L.A. will support him in Detroit, Michigan on 7 March (09).The Farewell Tour will wrap in Corpus Christi, Texas on 15 March (09).

FanMAIL: Ja Rule is stacking Gs in Brazil. So why won’t he pay his bills?
According to loyal reader Fernanda, who lives in Brazil, rapper Ja Rule is considered a superstar over there. He can command top dollar to perform to packed houses every night if he wants to.
So if he’s caking like that, why won’t he pay his bills?
Fernanda says Ja Rule and his crew are banned from restaurants in Rio because they refuse to pay their restaurant bills.
But the same may not be said for restaurants in Sao Paulo, Brazil where Ja was spotted leaving the Shaya restaurant earlier today. I suppose his money is still good there.
Here’s Fernanda’s email:
Hi Sandra, just coming back here to give you this interesting news about Ja Rule and Fat Joe as well as they crew of 10 friends!

And now, no restaurant in the famous Copacabana beach in Rio want them present! Tough times??
Thank you for being so good to your fans love again from Brazil

Amar’e Stoudemire Has Eye Surgery
According to Dead Spin (via NBA.com), NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire had eye surgery this morning to repair a detached retina.
That type of serious eye injury usually means the end of a professional athlete’s career. Especially when you consider that this is Amar’e's 2nd eye injury this season.
But, fortunately, Amar’e is a basketball player, not a boxer. There are custom face shields and goggles that can be utilized to protect his eyes during a game.
Amar’e recently signed a deal with rapper T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records to distribute his Hypocalypto Record label.
