PICS: Trina and Missy Elliott At Velvet Room
Rapper Trina, right, and her ex Missy Elliott partied the night away at the Velvet Room last night.
Trina’s CD Amazin’ is in stores right now. In a recent interview, Trina blamed the male-dominated rap game on the lack of attention real female MCs receive:
It’s always gonna be less recognition for female MCs because it is a male dominated industry. I work as hard as the male artist do, if not more, so I just stay focused on that and continue to keep grinding. I don’t let those barriers distract me at all.
Basketball Wives’ Evelyn Lozada is a F*#@ing Lady

Listen, I was watching basketball wives last night and they had Evelyn [Lozada] going at it at [with] that Vanessa Davis about the emails and such.
I googled Vanessa Davis because I wanted to see who her hubby was and what team he played for. Boy was I surprised when I came across this mess, it’s funny because I recall reading about this and that’s how I found out who Sakra Ross was.
She now dates a Philadelphia Eagle and is close friends with Antonia Toya Carter and this Vanessa even tries to drag Toya into this mess.
R.I.P. – Brittany Murphy’s Husband Found Dead
British screenwriter Sidney Monjack, the husband of late actress Brittany Murphy, was found dead in his home last night. He was 39.
Prescription bottles were found on his nightstand, according to TMZ.com.
There are rumors that Monjack never got over the untimely death of his wife, who passed away 5 months ago. The speculation is that he committed suicide. Romantics would say he went to be with Brittany.
Brittany’s mother, Sharon Murphy, found Monjack’s body last night. She was also the one who found Murphy’s body last December.
Monjack suffered a heart attack in November while on board a flight. He was scheduled to undergo a coronary bypass in September, but he was told to lose weight first.
FanMAIL: What Movie is This Picture From?
Two loyal readers emailed this picture of singers (from left) Chris Brown, Souljah Boy, Omarion and rapper Bow Wow. But my readers didn’t include any information on where or when the photo was taken.
Is this from a Tyler Perry movie that went straight to DVD?
Edited to correctly identify Souljah Boy.

I’ll never understand the attraction of professional bullfighting. Though bullfighting is not a mainstream sport in the states, there are millions of bullfighting fans around the world who follow the sport religiously.
Most fans watch bullfighting in macabre anticipation of seeing a gruesome accident similar to what happened to this bullfighter.
Spanish bullfighter Julio Aparicio had the unfortunate luck of stumbling during his match with a bull at the arena of Las Ventas in Madrid on Friday (May 21).
Like a shark smelling blood in the water, the bull didn’t hesitate to take advantage of Aparicio’s misstep by charging and goring him with a horn right up and through Aparicio’s chin and out his mouth.
For a few horrific seconds, Aparicio was impaled on the tip of the bull’s horn and dragged for several yards before help finally arrived.
Luckily, the horn didn’t sever a major artery, or Aparicio probably wouldn’t have survived his ambulance trip to a nearby hospital where he was treated for internal injuries to his chin, jaw and mouth. Yuck.
WARNING: If you’ve already eaten and you don’t want to lose your breakfast all over your keyboard, DO NOT watch the video of the goring after the break. You have been warned!
FanMAIL: Chef Juanita Wants You To Know That…
I guess Necole Bitchie’s bestie Juanita Crimiel is out of jail on bond? She sent me a profanity-laced email this morning in a pathetic attempt to keep the spotlight focused on her.
I guess it worked.
Crimiel, 26, was busted last week in Miami for allegedly running up a $20,000 bill on an unsuspecting baller’s credit card at the posh Mondrian hotel in Miami Beach, where the cheapest room will set you back $260 a night.
Celebrity gossip blogger Necole Bitchie, who introduced this con artist to her industry connects as “Chef Juanita”, wrote a lengthy comment on a groupie’s blog over the weekend trying to distance herself from Crimiel.
In her comment on the groupie’s blog, Necole wrote that she and “13 – 16″ of her friends would “take turns” taking this woman out to dinner in order to “compare stories” on a conference call.
That’s 13- 16 people on a conference call with not one ounce of common sense between them.
It took 16 people comparing notes over several days on a scam artist that they should have spotted from a mile away?
Here’s how Necole described what happened next:
That one call turned into conference call after conference call with 13-16 people who were comparing stories over days. She found out this week that we all knew about all the lies she told etc and we thought it was the end. Delete us from twitter. Delete us from BBM.
Then we find out she was staying at the Mondrion in Miami since April and we had to figure out who’s bill it was on. I don’t know the guy but she got him for over 10,000 (not 20,000). How she did that i have no idea. So yesterday, the police were called and the rest is history.
