Video: The New Overclass – Baby From Cash Money
Click here if you can’t view the video
Yesterday we wrote about Bryan “Baby” Williams and how he came into his Arab money.
Baby and his brother Ronald Williams, co-founders of Cash Money Records, were profiled on MSNBC’s documentary “NEWBOs: The Rise of America’s New Black Overclass.” In the documentary, Baby flashes millions in cash, cars, opulent gold, and authentic diamond jewelry. No fake Hip Hop ice there.
Hoping to get lucky, hundreds of thirsty single (and married) women packed into Baby’s birthday bash at The Velvet Room last Sunday night to do a little gold digging of their own.
Video: Elementary School Teacher Under Fire For His Rap Lyrics
A Virginia elementary school teacher posted rap videos of himself on YouTube cursing, smoking weed and drinking Patron. Even after parents expressed their concerns about the teacher’s double life, school officials took no action against him.
Celebs Out & About
Legendary old school rapper Chuck D (Public Enemy) and his band rocked the Lincoln Center during the 20th Anniversary Celebration of Spike Lee’s 1989 film “Do The Right Thing”, last night in NYC. Public Enemy’s classic hit “Fight the Power” was featured on the Soundtrack.
In the film, actor John Turturro, on the left, played Pino, the son of the racist Italian pizzaria owner, and, of course Spike Lee directed and produced “Do The Right Thing”.
Rosie Perez played the Puerto Rican fireplug, Tina, who had everybody hot and bothered in the film, and in the theater.
We don’t recall actress Malinda Williams being in the film, but if she was she must have been a baby.
The lovely actress Eva Mendes attended a photocall for “Live!” in Rome, Italy yesterday.

RuPaul Releases New Album On iTunes
From ET Online:
RuPaul was so inspired by the theme of his Logo series, “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” that he just released Champion, his fifth album, which is now available for download on iTunes.
“It is about being a champion, overcoming obstacles, having courage and winning,” RuPaul, who wrote the songs, tells ET. “Even if you don’t win first place, you can win just by going for it.”
“Listen, the whole world loves drag, whether they admit it or not,” he says. “We live in this culture where we have this hypocritical thing. On one hand, people are ashamed of drag and they think it is misogynistic; on the other hand, we all love it because it’s sparkly, it’s shiny and it’s gorgeous.”
Speaking of sparkly drag queens, Tyler Perry has once again decided to kill off the only reason we know his name — Madea.
Tyler, a classic narcissistic, can’t tolerate the idea that the world loves him only for his alter ego in a dress. He wants to be loved for himself, which is laughable since he doesn’t even love himself.
Anyway, Tyler should ask RuPaul what happened to his career when he dumped his Grand Diva persona, and opted for his own personality: his career tanked.

Russell Simmons Agrees To Pay Kimora $40K a Month in Child Support
On Wednesday, an Atlanta Superior court judge increased rapper T.I.’s child support payments from $3,000 to $5,000 a month for his two oldest sons. [LINK]
And on Thursday, a NY judge ordered music mogul Russell Simmons to pay his ex-wife Kimora Lee Simmons the ridiculous sum of $40K a month. Doesn’t she have a man?
Court records show Russell Simmons has agreed to pay $40,000 a month in child support.
Los Angeles Superior Court judge Marjorie Steinberg signed off on an agreement Thursday giving Kimora Lee Simmons sole custody of the couple’s two daughters, 9-year-old Ming and 6-year-old Aoki. The couple’s divorce was finalized in January. Kimora Lee Simmons filed for divorce in March 2008, citing irreconcilable differences.
Russell Simmons, the 51-year-old hip-hop mogul, was granted visitation rights and must pay child support until each daughter reaches 19 and a half years of age.
The 33-year-old Kimora Lee Simmons has final say on whether her daughters appear on her reality TV show “Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane.”
A call placed to Russell Simmons’ lawyer was forwarded to a recorded message declining to comment. [LINK]
