Rick Ross Goes On $600,000 Shopping Spree?

I didn’t actually see Rick Ross drop any cash in this video. The guy is a pathological liar. How much did Rick Ross pay this dealer to tell all those lies? If Rick Ross has two nickels to rub together I’d be shocked.




 

Now Ashanti Has a Stalker

This morning I wrote about the perils of stardom attracting stalkers and other unstable nutcases. According to the NY Daily News, singer Ashanti is seeking an order of protection against a man who can’t keep his distance.

Singing star Ashanti has a creepy stalker – an Indiana man who has bombarded her mother with lewd text messages and pictures of his genitals, prosecutors said.

Devar Hurd, 31, is accused of stalking and harassing Tina Douglas with 32 messages between May 29 and July 18 and numerous phone calls.

He was arrested in late July and has been locked up at Rikers Island since. He faces possible trial in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday.

The messages he sent were explicit and included sex acts he wanted to perform on the mother and her daughters, according to court papers.

He also sent X-rated pictures of himself, photos of Douglas’ home and a picture of one of her daughters’ car, the documents said.

Hurd is charged with 28 misdemeanor counts of stalking and aggravated harassment and faces up to two years in prison if convicted. Read More…

If I get my hands on those x-rated pics I’ll post them… purely for educational purposes, of course.




 

Elizabeth Gates Blogs About Tiger’s ‘Thing for White Girls’

Elizabeth Gates, the daughter of Professor Henry Louis Gates, and a correspondent for The Daily Beast, has thrown herself into the Tiger Woods media frenzy by blogging about Tiger’s preference for white women.

Here’s a mixed race woman (her mother is white) who probably only dates white guys, critiquing a mixed race man who prefers white women. The hypocrisy in her blog is laughable. She makes the argument that Tiger could have done the “right thing” and kept his distance from white women, but he didn’t.

She writes:

He went out, met a few girls, and got caught. Textbook prophesy for a young, attractive athlete. At least he didn’t beat his wife like Mike Tyson did.

She actually wrote that!

Naturally, her readers ripped her a new one and rightfully so. Elizabeth would have gotten her point across better had she explained the public outcry from a mixed race person’s perspective since she titled her blog ‘Tiger’s Thing for White Girls.’

Apparently, Gates doesn’t see a problem with Woods cheating on his wife. She only faults him for getting caught. Gates also “did not think Janet Jackson should have apologized for showing her nipple during the Super Bowl, whether it was a mistake or not.”

Those of you who think the media frenzy surrounding the Tiger Woods saga is simply about his cheating, think again.

One reader wrote:

Someone didn’t stay at Spelman long enough to learn what irony means. Maybe you should have a talk with Daddy Gates about why HE only dates White women.

And guess what Lizzie, unlike you Tiger Woods LIKES his mother and is proud of HER race. He considers himself part Asian out of respect for his mother as well as to face the FACTS of his biology. Sorry that YOU have mommie issues and refuse to acknowledge your White ancestry. Additionally since part of his biology is White, he IS dating within his race. So suck it and get some therapy. Maybe some White guy will feel sorry for you and ask you out on a date. Probably not, you have too much issues with race.

Ouch.




 

PICS: B. Cox Birthday Party

Monica’s producer Bryan Michael Cox had a birthday party at the W Midtown hotel last night in Atlanta. The local glitterati showed up including Jermaine Dupri, his artist Dondria, producer Sean Garrett, songwriter/singer Johnta Austin who was on bedrest after surgery on his back, and other industry execs.

Celebrity photographer Prince Williams of ATLPICS.net was on hand to get the flicks!


JD, Dondria and Johnta Austin

Singer/songwriter Johnta Austin threw out his back recently. He’s on the mend now after having surgery


Producer Sean Garrett is so stylish you can’t tell him anything!

JD’s artist Dondria is still hanging in there. And that’s all I’m going to say because she’s kinda sensitive and can’t take a joke when her name is in it.

Rihanna Has a New Tattoo

Rihanna has a new tattoo, this one on her right shoulder/chest, which reads ‘Never a failure, always a lesson,’ — written in cursive, backwards so she can see it clearly whenever she looks in a mirror, which I’m sure is often.

Pretty soon Rihanna will wind up looking like the female version of Lil Wayne.

Usher Cover Not Official

This cover for Usher’s upcoming studio album is floating around the Internets. But I’m told by an industry insider that it is not the official cover. The CD has been renamed – to what, I don’t know. But it definitely won’t be ‘Raymond vs. Raymond’ which was a dumb title to begin with.




 

Premiere: Mary J Blige – I Am
